McCain's Lost.. His Mind

Governors rarely have foreign policy experience. But that not withstanding, in so many other ways, Sarah Palin is a disaster.

Twenty months ago, she was the ex-mayor of a town of less than 9,000. Her foreign policy is the same as her domestic policy: drill, drill, drill. She has been no friend to the environment. She is entirely Alaska-focused, with her primary stated objective of "oil independence" as a veiled attempt to boost her home state's presence on the national stage. At one point, she belonged to the Alaska Independence Party that promotes secession from the USA. Hardly patriotic.

She has manipulated her own children for political purposes, turning Bristol and Trig into poster-children for her anti-choice agenda.

She has repeatedly lied and backpedaled. She has abused her power. She has used her position for political gain. Even the small town of Wasilla was left after her administration with an economy in tatters and an unfinished arena, higher taxes, and shortage of services.

Even those whose job it is to smile and pretend like the GOP leadership can do no wrong, even with the blinders on and the Kool-Aid stains all around their mouths can see... she's the worst possible pick.

Sarah Palin is nothing more than a one-stop pandering ploy, trying to rein in Hillary supporters (who should just do a 180° despite positions just 'coz the Gov is a woman), right-wing evangelical yahoos (who are crapping their pants that her daughter is knocked up), and dudes that just want a hot chick on the ticket.

I do admit, she's a total fox.
