Sorting out Sarah Palin

Now I´m not by any means the most informed nor the most wise when it comes to these Political games, but I can read the news and interpret fairly decently the problems and opportunities that each of our nominees could bring.

I´m not about to deny that John McCain has foreign policy experience. Nor that he has done a lot for our country and deserves respect. However, if I remember correctly, in 2004, John Kerry was labeled as a flip flop which completely destroyed his campaign (in my opinion). Now, for anyone who has paid attention to the political sphere for more than just the past 8 months, J. McCain used to be a free-thinking, TRUE moderate who did not follow his party. Well, they now own him. In every way, shape, and form of the term, John McCain is simply the puppet, the figurehead, for his party. I´m sorry to all of those true Republicans out there that feel strongly about low spending and cutting costs. But we´re in a huge deficit as a result of that party´s spending, and unfortunately, J. McCain will be forced (whether or not he truly believes in it, or anything anymore, is pretty much lost in translation now) to follow the lead, the words, and the direction of the party that is paying his way into office.

Sorry.

And Sarah Palin. Oh the pretty Tina Fey, librarian, ex pageant girl. I wear very similar glasses, and I am a woman. Maybe I should have hope that one day, oh when will it come, I will have the opportunity to use my good looks to help a man, 72 years old at that, get into office. That it could be possible for the beautiful damsel to reverse the role of those old fairy tales and save the creepy old man in distress. It´s not the foreign policy experience that worries me, because as I can see it from here, that is the Republican answer to B. Obama and his lack thereof. It´s not that she´s  a mother and I doubt her ability to be a VP while trying to raise her children. I have a wonderful mother who taught me that women can do just about anything. What worries me the most, and here it comes, is can no one see the sheer games, the puppeteering, and the rhetoric being continuously spewed from the Republican party? Or is that just me?

Complaints about J. McCain´s age; Palin´s young and fresh.

Complaints about J. McCain´s ties with Washington, when we feel like we need change; no one knows who in the hell S. Palin is.

Complaints that J. McCain has never faced adversity; Palin, as a woman, a pretty one at that, has obviously faced sexism in her past.

These are just three of the immediate flashes of light that struck my thoughts upon first sight. That, and that the Republican convention was sheer hilarity.  Thompson, Romney, Giuliani. You have to wonder which one was most pleased with the MILF pick, but my bet´s on Thompson.
