Sarah Palin: Political Farce

This shouldn’t be worthy of my time, but Sarah Palin had the unmitigated audacity to counter-attack McCain campaign aides’ remarks about her with such hypocrisy and irony that it screams to be addressed.

Claims were made that Palin did not know Africa was a continent instead of a country, or which countries are part of the North American Free Trade Agreement, despite touting her familiarity with neighboring Canada.

"Those were taken out of context and that's cruel," Palin said. "It's mean-spirited. It's immature. It's unprofessional and those guys are jerks if they came away with it, taking things out of context, and then tried to spread something on national news."

She makes this statement after she used the exact same tactics against Barack Obama during the campaign.

This all amounts to nothing more than the pitiful and childish finger-pointing that takes place by a losing team that does not have the class and foresight to learn from their mistakes and build on them in order to come back stronger in the next contest.

Anyone listening to Palin’s unscripted comments could see that she was in over her head. The voters saw through the façade the GOP was painting. You can dress her up in new clothes and prep her for debates but she still lacks any real substance.

The whole Sarah Palin show was window dressing and the GOP should be ashamed for their transparent attempt to pass her off as anything worthy of national attention. It amounted to nothing more than a farce on the level of a National Lampoon movie script about the presidential campaign process.

She says there was no tension among McCain staffers concerning her. Her denial is evident of her view of herself as “flawless” and worthy to be the center of attention, convinced that no one can possibly have any ill will towards her. She reminds me of that stereo-typical spoiled brat whose parents lavish praise on her, boosting her ego beyond her abilities, while everyone around her sees she is nothing special. It is really very pitiful.

This woman lacks the self-awareness needed to realistically view herself through other peoples eyes, which, as a politician, is extremely dangerous when trying to convince people to place their future in her hands.

The fact that she prepared a concession speech, and fully expected to give it before John McCain’s speech, coupled with the fact that vice-presidential nominees traditionally don’t give concession speeches on election night, bowing to the presidential candidate to give the speech, just proves how much more importance she placed in herself over John McCain.

As some McCain aides say, and many others saw, Palin had become more interested in her own future than in McCain's election. And, for future reference, this proves she places herself above this countries needs. She can deny it all she wants but her actions show it and her history bears it out to be true.

Her best option is to back away from the media and go about her role in Alaska for which she was elected. Put this business behind her and stay away from the national spotlight. We Americans have already witnessed her many failed attempts at trying to sound knowledgeable. We see these attempts for what they are, whitewash.

Iranian Guards vow to ‘punch’ U.S.

Way to go George W., now you have pissed off another country to the point they want to kill all Americans. We who have nothing to do with any of your hateful paranoia. We who would rather just live our lives peacefully and let the Iranians live their lives are now targeted because you can’t keep your hateful military muscle in your pants.

You are such a jerk.

You are not a diplomat, you fool. Why can’t you just let the true diplomats handle these matters? You egotistical little runt.

Have you heard of the ‘little man’ complex? It says that short, little people tend to feel the need to over-compensate their small stature by doing grandiose things in order to ‘prove’ their masculinity. It can be a harmful, often destructive affliction in someone who is in a position of power. In your case, some other fool (Karl Rove) callously took the notion (to feed his own over-sized ego) that he could put a do nothing, loser politician in the White House. The fool pulled it off and now the whole country is paying dearly for it.

The only reason you have authorized an entire nation to be registered as a terrorist organization is so the U.S. can gain access to that country's money.

You are so blinded with rage because Iran will not 'bow' to your demands that they stop building nuclear energy plants that you have now further endangered the lives of every American citizen. How can you sleep at night? You sir are the true terrorist in our midst.

They have just as much right as the U.S. to have access to a cleaner form of energy.

Your paranoid little mind is convinced that the only reason they want nuclear energy is to stockpile nuclear bombs, which of course, you are also convinced they want to use on us.

Just because the United States took that evil, hateful and destructive action of actually using a nuclear bomb against our fellow man doesn’t mean everybody else wants to.

Given the violent, aggressive history of the United States of America, one does not need to stretch the limit of imagination to think that other nations would feel the need to protect themselves from what the U.S., under the leadership of a paranoid, egotistical president, might do to them. Especially if they have oil within their borders.

Iran is nothing more than an extension of George W. Bush's paranoiac hunt for weapons of mass destruction that he and a few of his buddies are still convinced that Iraq had. Weapons that were never found, because they were never there.

Why can’t you, George, just swallow your foolish pride, lock up your enormous hateful ego and step down from the Presidency? Allow someone who wants to move this country towards a more peaceful and benevolent society do so, so that we can once again be proud to call ourselves Americans?

Do the right thing George. Go home, don’t look back, and for God’s sake (and ours) take your lying, conniving, criminal cronies with you.
