My Take On Palin

I normally don't talk politics, but i figured i'd take an opprotunity to dabble in it a bit. One of the main reasons i don't talk politics is that i feel all politicians are the same deep down; they just work on different platforms. I watched Sarah Palins Speech at the RNC in St. Paul Minnesota, just to get an intial feel for her.

I am all about women's rights and i would love to see a woman in the White House, but I'm not impressed with Palin. For a few reasons. She used her personal life and family for gain. such as pointing out that her son and nephew serve our country. Congratulations Mrs.Palin, you are now have something in commone with the thousands of mothers or military service men and women. When i hear a speech from someone who may possibly be second in command in the entire country, i want to hear about your views, what you plan to do and why.. Not your family history.

Sarah Palins only credential is that she has been in local government. She has done great things of course for Alaska, but does this means shes fit to take over the entire country if john McCain falls ill or dies? No, because there is a huge difference between goverening a state and leading an entire nation.

Now we come to my favorite part of the entire speech where she is talking about Senator Obama. And she mentions that the victory is almost insight for iraq, something or other and he just wants to give it all up. Here's a question for Palin regarding that: what exactly have we accomplished in Iraq other than catching and sentencing their leader to death. All we have is a pile of dead bodies and a country still in poor condition. Billions of dollars tied up in a war that has no point to it. And you want to tell us that victory is insight? I have no further comment on that horse pucky.

I think she has potential to one day be a great leader, but at this moment in time..No i would not feel confident with Sarah Palin in our White House.


Here is the speech Via YouTube, Feel Free to check it out :)
