Palin- Media Repulsinvess, Take Two

It's appalling. In less than 8 hours, every media outlet and Obama supporter trashed Palin for everything ranging including experience, integrity and absolute trash talk. Yet, for over 18 months, these same people have patently ignored Obama's glaring lack experience or legislative accomplishments and his 20+ years of relationships with racists, terrorists and felons. Each of the stones they throw demonstrates a criteria that their candidate has not met.

Let's assume (though it is patently false) that Gov. Palin is not qualified to be Vice President due to lack of experience. Were that the case, would it the same argument be even more true about Sen. Obama? Put more simply: if both candidates are inexperienced, which would have the least potential for causing irreparable harm- A President or Vice President?

Conveniently, this in not the case. Obama speaks endlessly about Change, but in 11 years of legislative experience has yet to accomplish anything other than running for subsequent offices, voting 'present' 130 times and falling infalliby in line with his parties positions. Palin, in comparison, has accomplished more in her time as Governor than Obama has accomplished in his lifetime.

It is clear that Obama cannot hold a candle to Palin's accomplishments, experience or integrity and is emminently more qualified to be President than him. But she is running for Vice President alongside the one politician in Washington who does not only speak about change, but has a 28 year track record of accomplishing it. Comparing Palin to Biden is similarly a joke. After 30 years in the Senate, you would think that he could get more primary votes than Stephen Colbert. Sadly, he could not. Biden, like the inferior man at the top of his ticket, unfailingly votes with his party and has a similar, unfailing record of publicly insulting people based on race, religion, national origin, intelligence and sex. Even at his VP introduction, he introduced his by saying, "Ladies and gentlemen, my wife Jill, who you'll meet soon, is drop dead gorgeous.She also has her doctorate degree, which is a problem."

So, not only does the Democratic ticket denounce women for their intelligence, but it also bans voting for women at it's conventions.

It is truly sad that on the anniversary of Dr. King's illustrious "I Have a Dream" speech, the Democrats nominated candidates in spite of the content of their character, not because of it.

It is even more sad that less than 24 hours later, their campaign's mysogenistic first response to Gov. Palin's selection. Obama later stated that his revised statement is what he really meant and everyone shout disgard the "hair trigger" of his campaign. Odd that it's his campaign's "hair trigger" that needed to be corrected, considering how often he and his surrogates condemn McCain's "hair trigger", which has yet failed to present itself in this campaign. 

But, this lastest inconsistency and after the fact revision is nothing new. Obama has done it with nearly every one of his policies and even in his statements about the Russia/ Georgia conflict. 3 statements and two days later, he comes around to making the same type of comments that McCain initially (and correctly) made and the Obama campaign condemned.

The President does not get multiple tries to get things right when his decisions are of national and global consequence. The President cannot vote 'present' no matter how politically expedient it may be. Thank goodness we have John McCain, who seems to not only get things right the first time, he generally hit things out of the park. His performance at Saddleback was the first significant evidence during the campaign of this glaring disparity between him and Obama. I suppose that the lack of further evidence is due to the debates that Sen. Obama vehemently calls for but has singularly failed to show up to. Sen. McCain had the invitation and chair waiting for months, but Obama was too busy on his marketing junkets to actually address issues. It is the candidate of Change that has insisted on only the standard debate template and conspicously avoids questions about policies, in favor of lofty and undefined rhetoric.

God forbid Gov. Palin should ever be called upon to fulfill the most dreaded responsibility of a Vice President, I for one fell confident that she has a consistent track record or Change that Can Be Documented instead of Change that we're trying to get  you to Believe but have no evidence of and no plan to achieve.

Perhaps a more fair comparison would be to the closest peer to the day to day job of the Vice President- to preside over the Senate. Sarah Palin has lead, from an executive role, the State of Alaska to implementing a comprehensive conservation and energy reform and developed new means to help meet our country's energy needs from the State that has produced the most domestic energy for decades. She has been to ANWAR and been a part of environmentally responsible programs. In contrast, Speaker Pelosi gives speeches about saving the earth while banning voting or debate on energy production and reform. Palin sold her State's executive jet and put the money back into the budget while Pelosi was demanding a larger and less fuel efficient plane so she wouldn't have to stop for fuel while commuting on taxpayer dollars. Palin seeks to drill oil while Speaker Pelosi seeks to "drill your brains".

I hope that all the ignorant have fun with your post partisan smear campaigns. Gov. Palin has work to do.
