I don’t think many of you will fare better under McCain’s plan…  No thanks, John.

This site is going away...

not because I’ve changed my mind.  she’s not ready.  not vetted fully, not right for this country, the list goes on…

i’m really taking this down because I don’t want to attack palin.  you can make up your own mind about her.

however, do take into mind the kind of decision-making that went in to her selection.  she wasn’t selected because of her skills (there are many more qualified folks than her out there), she wasn’t selected because of her knowledge of energy-related issues (ever heard of dick cheneyhalliburton? good picks…), and she wasn’t picked because of her experience (i don’t need to explain this, do i?).

she was selected because john mccain doesn’t trust you, the american people. john mccain thinks that Palin (her gender, her NRA status, her whatever) will play to a demographic that will help him win this election.

it’s not country first, it’s win first.

now, john mccain is doing the same sort of political maneuvering to which we’re accustomed.  blame the media, blame the angry left, blame anyone but the folks who made a bad decision.  sound familiar?

if you want four more years of the decision making that has you earning less money while the richest folks get even more wealthy, then vote for john mccain.

if you want four more years of the decision making that has you paying $4/gallon for gasoline to fill up your 8 mpg SUV, vote for john mccain.

if you want four more years of the last eight years, vote for john mccain.

eight is enough.

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin employed a lobbying firm to secure almost $27 million in federal earmarks for a town of 6,700 residents while she was its mayor, according to an analysis by an independent government watchdog group. MSNBC

She’s not very tolerant of divergent opinions or open to outside ideas or compromise. As Mayor, she fought ideas that weren’t generated by her or her staff. Ideas weren’t evaluated on their merits, but on the basis of who proposed them. comment from The Washington Independent

Aides to Mr. McCain said they had a team on the ground in Alaska now to look more thoroughly into Ms. Palin’s background. A Republican with ties to the campaign said the team assigned to vet Ms. Palin in Alaska had not arrived there until Thursday, a day before Mr. McCain stunned the political world with his vice-presidential choice. The campaign was still calling Republican operatives as late as Sunday night asking them to go to Alaska to deal with the unexpected candidacy of Ms. Palin. New York Times
