They can't even look at each other!
Shock & awe! Shocked that McCain would pick such a lame duck and in awe that he has so masterfully sealed the fate of his parties election hopes.
This is a man who berates Sen. Obama for his inexperience and then goes and picks the uber-rookie as his veep. I don’t know about you, but I feel a feeling of warmth come over me – almost like I am surrounded in a warm blanket when I realize, that, should McCain win this election (he won’t), and if, he kicks the bucket (likely) or falls ill (likely), that his veep, Sarah Palin would be able to steer this great nation because she once won a beauty pageant.
As an Alaskan however, she is ideally suited for carving up the oil resources in that state and we all know how much McCain and his party lurve oil.
Alaskans are also ideally placed to define America’s foreign policy. Alaska (although beautiful) is in the middle of nowhere, populated by only 600,000 people, and nobody wants to go there save for wildlife trips. This means it is fairly isolated. Ideal qualities to produce America’s ideology for foreign policy.
In addition, Ms. Palin, is pro-life but loves guns. I mean I am fairly intelligent but feel a little confused about this? She wants to preserve life at all costs but will blow your fucking head off if she had the chance or at least believes it is her right to. Ummm – yeah, right.
Oh but wait, she is a woman! So McCain hopes this will work out in his favor. Maybe – but not when the woman is about as experienced as a Mormon virgin on prom night. In addition, the only Palin I know who is qualified at anything is Michael and the last I heard, Monty Python don’t do politics.
Seriously though, Obama picked Biden as he acknowledged that he needed a wise owl on his team. Someone who would complement his skills and persona and help bridge the gap between him and the working and middle classes. Biden does that and above all he is an excellent politician and a true patriot – noting that true patriots do criticize and question (it’s how they make their countries better). Whereas, McCain it seems just picked his VP for the sake of it. He wanted to make a statement and break from the norm of other GOP’ers. I believe this was a huge error. People will a) see through this and b) realize the aging McCain who looks even older next to Palin, is simple handing the reigns (in the event of his death or illness) to a pro-life, gun-toting, in-experienced person who is not equipped to lead this country into an Arby’s let alone the future.
America – do you really want to elect a man who would pick his VP as a matter of one-up-manship? What does that say about McCain as a person – think about it. And, if you think all the Hillary supporters will now support McCain because he picked a female VP – think again. That won’t happen. Fundamentally, a woman has a right to choose whether we like it or not. If Palin was pro-choice this would have been a huge blow to Obama. But pro-life and pro-gun – NOT GOOD!
So it seems the Republicans are shit out of luck and this was an ill informed choice by a man who is so out of touch he needs a nerve transplant – stat! Move over grandpa and use your time to babysit your new veep (and pray she doesn’t mistakenly shoot you)….
