Sarah Palin

The 2008 Republican Vice-Presidential Nominee. In her home state of Alaska, she enjoys shooting wolves and moose from helicopters and attends church congregations that support "pray away the gay". This supposed reformer who "fought corruption" has been found guilty under ethics codes and abuse of power while in a political office. She is pro-life to the point that rape and incest are irrelevant and believes that polar bears should be taken off the endangered species list so that drilling can take place in ANWR. In an interview or debate, she utterly fails to answer questions and admits to it, while what she does have to say is well-scripted, lacking substance, and part of an obvious neo-conservative agenda that she is a pawn in. Her "folksy appeal" is one thing that landed us in trouble with Bush. Do you really want someone in public office whom you can sit down and have a beer (or shoot things) with? Or would you rather it be someone with whom you can hold an informative and intelligent conversation with? Presidents (and Vice-Presidents) are NOT meant to be merely anyone, or your average "Joe Sixpack". We carefully select Presidents because they should be unique, intelligent, knowledgeable, and have the capacity to think through our problems. Sarah Palin represents none of these. She is a political ploy.
