Politics are Yucky

I generally tend not to proclaim my political views for the most part, but seriously...Sarah Palin? Not only is she totally and utterly unqualified to be #2 in line for the Presidency, but she is a crazy, bible thumping, book banning lunatic who wants to invade everything and sounds like she has absolutely no idea what she's talking about, so she just talks like a verbal diarrhea suffering beauty queen. Let's all hope she's right, that God does have a plan, and that plan does not include making her President. I'm not one of those super-Obama people, but McCain, if elected president, would be the oldest person ever elected to the office. That gives him a pretty darn good chance of dropping dead, thus making Sarah Palin the next president.

If you all missed the Charlie Gibson interview yesterday, here's a clip.


One thing that I noticed that scares me more than anything is that whenever asked a question about foreign policy, her first response is "invade". Don't get me wrong, I'm all about protecting this country. But, you'd think her answer might include SOMEWHERE in there that she'd want to sit down and try to talk things out with said countries. Maybe work out a plan that can solve outside problems and possible threats to the country by having a dialogue with the leaders involved and trying to work out some kind of resolution. Nope. This crazy you-know-what has lost her mind, and McCain has lost his mind for choosing her as a running mate.

While Pete is concerned with these things, the issue that officially turned him completely off to Palin is the fact that she tried to have books banned from the Wassila library system. When the Head Librarian refused to remove the books, Palin tried to fire the librarian. Members of the community rose up, and the librarian ended up keeping her job. But the fact that this woman is banning books is crazy from the start. Welcome to America, sister.

The most clearly put, eloquent, and lay-your-cards-out-on-the-table statement I've heard about Sarah Palin's run for VP was said by none other than Matt Damon. Yes, Matt Damon. I've posted this elsewhere, as has my cousin Ben, but it's so good you should watch it again.
