Witness America’s Long Slide into Oblivion

Barbara Bush says she hopes Sarah Palin stays in Alaska. You and me both sister. But merely hoping for it is not going to make it so.

The Republican Party has already let this unwashed mouthpiece out of the box and they have no intention of giving up on a project that they have spent so much time and effort grooming.

It’s no accident that Sarah Palin was chosen for this project. She very closely resembles what the majority of Americans are becoming. She is a product of an educational system that has failed America. She represents the erosion of culture in this country, thereby making her easy to be handled. Her ego allows her to believe that ‘she’ is the person the public wants, when in fact she is merely a tool used by the GOP to keep their party in power no matter the cost.

She was chosen because she exemplifies the misplaced optimistic view that the American public is in control of its own destiny.

Education is what we so desperately need right now. Education…not just what to think but how to think…to give us the ability to see beyond what is being placed in front of us and deduce the true meaning of why it is being placed in front of us. The lack of this ability is why it is so easy for us to be manipulated.

And make no mistake, the American public is being manipulated. The media is being used by practitioners of what Karl Rove so expertly used to put an under-qualified George W Bush into office. Their goal is to win at all costs and the loser will once again be the American public.

The media has been speculating about Sarah Palin laying out the ground work for a run at the Presidency. No, she is not, the GOP is. Her ‘handlers’ are keeping her in the lime light for just this purpose. Mind you she doesn't need to be pushed too hard because she has enough ambition, drive and ego to push herself, but she needs the expert talent that her backers provide to know where and when and at what pace to keep her name in the public's face.

The main problem I have with the circus that the presidential campaign has become, is that the democratic process of choosing our candidates has been denigrated into a “win at all costs” mentality backed by unlimited funds. What’s best-for-America no longer has anything to do with choosing the best candidate.

When someone from her own party hopes she stays in Alaska and out of the presidential race, you just know we are in trouble.



Here’s a must read along the same line as this post:
Best of the Blogs Appaling Ignorance. The Know-Nothings of 2010 Have a Leader

The present bunch of morons who scream about “FREEDOM!!!” and “PATRIOTISM!!!” wouldn’t know what this country is all about if Thomas Jefferson hit them in the head with a rolled-up Constitution.

Don’t get me wrong-I know that Caribou Barbie is an idiot. That’s been clear from the day John McCain decided to screw this country good and hard by elevating her to national prominence. But, even given that we all understand she’s an idiot, some of the things that this stupid bimbo says STILL surprise me.
