All I can say is that the first executive decision McCain wanted to make was not his own. He wanted Joe Lieberman or Tom Ridge but caved in to his "handlers". Whatever. Shows your mettle, John. Political pandering to women will not work. Thanks for thinking I'm that gullible. Maverick, my ass.
Sarah Palin is a woman who expects privacy for herself and her family, yet believes that other women shouldn't have that privacy, even after being violated and victimized by a rapist or incestuous pig. What's feministic about that?
Sarah Palin was FOR the "bridge to nowhere" before she was against it. She ran on it to gain her Mayoral position, then bailed out when the Feds weren't going to grant the earmark.
Speaking of earmarks, which McCain has been so outraged by, Ms Palin hired a law firm from Anchorage to help her gain the earmarks that she felt her little burg deserved...6.1 million dollars worth, only $800K less than the city of Boise, who has a population of 190,000. Hmmm, against earmarks and political corruption?
Reports the Chicago Tribune:
This year, Palin, who has been governor for nearly 22 months, defended earmarking as a vital part of the legislative system. "The federal budget, in its various manifestations, is incredibly important to us, and congressional earmarks are one aspect of this relationship," she wrote in a newspaper column.
In 2001, McCain's list of spending that had been approved without the normal budget scrutiny included a $500,000 earmark for a public transportation project in Wasilla. The Arizona senator targeted $1 million in a 2002 spending bill for an emergency communications center in town -- one that local law enforcement has said is redundant and creates confusion.
McCain also criticized $450,000 set aside for an agricultural processing facility in Wasilla that was requested during Palin's tenure as mayor and cleared Congress soon after she left office in 2002. The funding was provided to help direct locally grown produce to schools, prisons and other government institutions, according to Taxpayers for Common Sense, a nonpartisan watchdog group.
So which is it? I'm so confused. This lady has gotten herself into more than she ever bargained for and frankly, her cracks are showing and I can't wait to hear her spout off about the Republicans and then have to debate everything she's said and done.
Why hasn't she allowed herself to be interviewed by the press? Why has she allowed her daughter to be put in this critical light and not expect discussion? Why did she want to secede from the Union as an Independent for Alaska, which is against the constitution of the US, and is what Abraham Lincoln sacrificed so much for? Why is she not scrutinized for rhetoric spoken in her church? Why is she forcing another tragedy on her daughter and this poor 18 year old kid, to further her political ambitions? Why has it not been revealed that baby Daddy is already the father of one? Why has she allowed herself to be involved with people like Ted Stevens, until it wasn't politically prudent?
Many, many, many questions have to be asked and if this woman chose to be vetted by the Press, then that's her problem, not the Media.

(Note: I love how they had Bristol covering her pregnancy with the brother, Trig. Were they really expecting people not to find out?)
