Hey, Palin. Time to play with America-sized problems. Let’s hear it.It’s time to commence mental preparation: For the next four years, McCain and Palin will pave the bridge connecting to the Bush-Cheney Highway to Hell.
Pessimistic? No. This is reality. This is America. And I, unfortunately, give a shit.
I heard on NPR.org about the Mom Wars that have erupted since Palin was nominated for VP. The callers on the segment seem to know their stuff and opinions run all which ways, some colliding with my own, some not.
But one thing I found myself nodding in agreement with, I don’t know anything on where Palin stands with the issues.
Sure what does it matter anyway, yer votn’ Donkey? I’m bored. This election has gone so far to Shitsville, I’m losing sleep. The time is ticking. And I’ve been inundated with enough liquid tabloid crap its been hard to stomach anything these days. Where’s the solid matter? I want meat, Palin.
Governor Palin’s family matters are her load to bare. What matters is the lack of content from Palin. What I know of her activities in Alaska places Palin very low on ethics for me. Fine. Every politician has a chiropractor.
Still. I’m afraid. Um um. No info. Not good. Not good for making this an interesting race. Not good at all when the chances are very high Palin becomes president because McCain expires in office.
So I found this letter from momsrising.org asking Governor Palin to clarify her position on key issues. I’m asking that too. Where’s the beef, Palin? I want the Caribou special. Here’s your moment to lock and load, put those fancy spectacles to use and get us on target.
I fit a wide spectrum: from a friend or relative of family with babies or teens, to someone who at any moment could pack my German manfriend, move back to the States and potentially bring a wicked (-ly awesome) child into this world. You know I’m at the ripe age and hormonal.
The quote below has major significance to me. I want to know, from her explicitly, if Governor Palin is to be an “advocate and friend” in the White House and she feels comfortable bashing community organisers, where does Palin
“stand on the issues which are critical to [everyone] like healthcare, fair pay, paid family and medical leave, after-school programs, childcare/early learning, paid sick days, and flexible work options.” -momsrising.org
Yes, Palin could start there. But there’s a whole lot more she needs to dig real deep and shed light on. We don’t want to resort to coming up with our own, hating conclusions.
Resentment, while it may work for Palin’s party, doesn’t work for us. We’re just plain, just-as-redneck, just-as-minority, falsely ‘e’ labelled, and have a desire to make things better kind of folk. That’s it.
Governor Palin, please give us your ideas/remedies to issues that matter to all Americans. McCain is old, perhaps he can’t hold down all the specifics of his Maverick plans. It really is unbecoming for Palin to hide behind the vague Daddy McCain.
I also sincerely hope Hillary Clinton is ready too. She has a new role in this election. We need Hillary to get these answers from Palin.
Well said, Heza. It’s time for her to answer some questions and not just some softballs from Charlie Gibson. Let’s hope she starts.
I’m a bit depressed about the whole thing, to be honest. Wrote kind of an angry post yesterday, myself. But I worry that this cynical politics by the G.O.P. is going to work. Again.
Wake up, America. Life doesn’t work like Forrest Gump.
