Healthcare reform

Nobody's perfect... He did do a lotta good things, though, Nancy and her "spritual advisors" notwithstanding. Plus he had a hot daughter.

I'm not a huge fan of Palin's, just think she's pretty hot for a politician with a buncha kids. But to be fair, I'm pretty certain anybody who was as inexperienced with prepared speeches and reading from a teleprompter as she apparently was would have come off sounding "confused". Not saying she's not a little "touched", not saying she really needed to be THAT high up on the totem pole, just that it can't be easy to be thrust into the global spotlight that quickly.

The whole deal with her was pretty transparent. Republicans looked at how the media was drooling over Obama from Day One, despite him pretty much being an empty suit propped up by said news media with no real accomplishments to speak of that made him, y'know, qualified, and they knew they needed to try something desperate. So they made a big fuss about his racist reverend that hates America so much, and nobody really cared about that. So then they made a bunch of noise about all his friends and supporters that were involved with the Weather Underground back in the day. Y'know, those domestic terrorists that spent the 60s and 70s trying to blow up gov't buildings, kill politicians, hid out for 15-20 years and now all teach college courses while constantly saying they "didn't do enough" to "bring down the man"? And again, nobody really paid attention. So they tried making a stink about his ACORN buddies and all their illegal shenanigans, not the least of which being how they got caught registering dead people to vote in last year's election, and again, nobody really said much.

So the Republicans, being desperate, took a long look at the Democrat opposition, one being a minority and one being a woman, and they figured out (finally) that it's all just a big popularity contest where credentials really don't matter and everyone's personal skeletons are forgiven as long as they pander to their base and wave a big enough flag. So then they said "Well hell, WE should get a token novelty candidate, too!"

And that's where they scrounged palin up from. Can't really blame 'em for it, either, it's just probably good that she didn't get to go all the way. I'd love to hear HER opinions about health care reform: "Well gosh darnit, y'know, where I'm from, if we get sick, we just skin up a few more moose carcasses for furs and guzzle some maple syrup. You betcha!"
