and she will be toast by the end of the month when MSM starts in on her. I think they are taking it slow so as not to overwhelm the public, but this gal has such a plateful, it makes a Vegas buffet look like an appetizer. SO MUCH DRAMA!!
The list:
Troopergate -- Alaska state legislature's investigation of whether Palin fired former public safety commissioner Walter Monegan because he refused to sack a state trooper — her former brother-in-law, who had divorced Palin's sister. Three weeks ago the governor had to backtrack from weeks of denials that she or anyone from her office had pressured Monegan to fire Trooper Michael Wooten. She admitted Aug. 13th that a member of her administration had made calls that could be perceived as pressure.
Her close ties to Assembly of God Dominionists which holds the belief that society should be governed exclusively by the law of God as codified in the Bible, to the exclusion of secular law (founding fathers rolling over in graves as we speak). Dominionists promote religious supremacy, insofar as they generally do not respect the equality of other religions, or even other versions of Christianity. Dominionists endorse theocratic visions, insofar as they believe that the Ten Commandments, or "biblical law," should be the foundation of American law, and that the U.S. Constitution should be seen as a vehicle for implementing Biblical principles. (American Jews, Buddhists, Muslims, Catholics, Lutherans, Methodists, Baptists, and all other religions be afraid, be very afraid – this woman could be a future president.)
Former members (she and hubby) of 'Fringe' Alaskan Independence Party formed to help Alaska secede from the union (radical and anti-American)
A director of indicted for corruption, Republican Senator Ted Stevens’ 527 group
Her little town of Wasilla benefited from nearly $30M in earmarks while she was mayor (wonder how McCain will spin that one)
She has no national security experience (unless you believe as Cindy McCain does, that because Palin lives close to Russia she is qualified – I’m not kidding, there’s video)
Husband got a DUI
She has five children, one a special needs 24/7
She supports creationism in schools
Opposes abortion for any reason including rape and incest
Opposes the use of contraceptives
Supports abstinence only, no sex education in schools, has pregnant teenage daughter, (that worked well).
The train wreck that is Palin’s personal life, raises important questions not only about her ability to focus on the many problems facing our nation while juggling her large family and the undeniable stresses of her private life, but also about McCain's vetting process, his decision-making, his competence and his judgment.
Some one please tell me why ANYONE would have chosen this woman as a VP and why ANYONE would vote for the person who did.
