I tried all day not to write about this and now I must.\u00a0 I posted the other day that Obama may not win.\u00a0 I’m starting to wonder how he can’t at this point.\u00a0 What a mess the McCain folks have made of this VP pick, Sarah Palin.<\/p>\n
First, why in the name off all Republican nominations past would McCain not come forward with information that Palin’s 17 year-old daughter was knocked up knowing full well he was presenting her to secure the conservative base of “family values”?\u00a0 Did they think no one would find out?\u00a0 I can’t imagine how they expected the media wouldn’t flock to this information.\u00a0 If nothing else THIS UNTO ITSELF displays poor judgment that is not worthy of two of the most powerful offices in the world.<\/p>\n
The only possible excuse McCain could have is that he did not know.\u00a0 That would imply that the vetting process was lame so he has no out.\u00a0 The conservative base McCain was trying to draw support from may be in his corner on one issue alone, abortion, or lack thereof.\u00a0 And in the process of shoring up this hyper-religious base he’s alienated every other voting demographic.\u00a0 As a one time Democrat who is now a registered Independent I assure you my “family values” are above teenage pregnancy.\u00a0 See what preaching abstinence to your children does for them?\u00a0 It gets them pregnant.\u00a0 Certainly Sarah’s little angel wouldn’t be having sex, no way.\u00a0 Why that’s just not in line with her “family values”.\u00a0 Then reality came crashing in on the Palin’s and it couldn’t have happened at a better time.<\/p>\n
The whole thing comes down to a matter of judgment.\u00a0 It was either poor judgment for McCain to pick Palin or it was poor judgment not to announce her teenage daughter’s pregnancy prior to revealing it to subdue vicious rumors on the Internet.\u00a0 They thought the cat wouldn’t get out of the bag, now their trying to put it back in while the media watches.<\/p>\n
I was on the fence about who I was going to vote for.\u00a0 Now there is no choice. \u00a0 While I still think Obama was made to the top through no more than personal relationships and a gift for oratory, at least he hasn’t already attempted to deceive the American public in such poor fashion.\u00a0 Add to this that Palin’s hired a defense lawyer for Troopergate.\u00a0 Wouldn’t it be great for the tabloids if the over-extended mom with her own child and a grandchild, who are less than a year apart in age, gets arrested while in the White House for having someone fired who refused to axe her former brother-in-law?\u00a0 Is this a chance we can take?<\/p>\n
I don’t just say no.\u00a0 I say hell<\/em> no.\u00a0 Next to Bush getting re-elected for a second term her selection was the biggest political mistake ever.\u00a0 Abortion or not, they’ve already proven they cannot be trusted and that they are capable of deception.\u00a0 McCain stated that his staff conducted an FBI background check on Palin.\u00a0 The FBI denies any such check was conducted.\u00a0 But all of this will not stop the die hard Neocon’s from voting, bibles in hand, so it’s not a sure thing for Obama yet.\u00a0 But Obama’s campaign staff could not have asked for a more generous gift from the right.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I tried all day not to write about this and now I must.\u00a0 I posted the other day that Obama may not win.\u00a0 I’m starting to wonder how he can’t at this point.\u00a0 What a mess the McCain folks have made of this VP pick, Sarah Palin.
