Sarah Palin!

I've got to admit, Sarah Palin knows how to stay in the spotlight and make money! You can bet that resigning as Governor was just part of the ploy to make her new book a best seller.

To bad that their are so many idiots to fall for it! I'll wait until I find it in someones trash to read it.

Then again, it's pretty clever of her to tour all of the small towns that were raving about her during the election. It guarantees that she'll make millions on her book. I'm sure there will be lots of long lines just waiting to give her money for it. To bad people aren't smart enough to boycott it!

Unless I'm mistaken, this book should prove to the world that she is definitely not presidential material. But other than knowing that a book was a sure-fire way of getting rich, she might have had enough help in writing it to fool people into thinking that she knows what she's doing.

To me, it's just another hoax on par with the "balloon boy" hoax. Just a little more subtle.

I don't want to be misunderstood so first let me say that women are just as capable as men and I do believe completely in equal rights for women.

But, there has been a big surge of women that have jumped on the McCain/Palin bandwagon simply because Sarah Palin is a woman! Many women who fought hard for Hillary Clinton have suddenly decided that Sarah Palin will fill the bill.

This pretty much tells you that their votes would go to any woman that might be running and not because they actually believed that she could or would do a good job because no matter how you slice it, Sarah Palin is no Hillary Clinton!

This is not a very good reflection on women as a whole and any intelligent woman should resent it!

Women are not the only ones to "flip-out" over Palin because many men are following the same path. I found it hard to believe that the people at the Republican Convention could be cheering Palin on in the manner that they were. After all, hardly anyone had heard of her two weeks before!

How in heavens name could anyone learn enough about her in that short of a period to believe that she was capable of being vice-president? Don't people realize that if the McCain/Palin ticket won this election and something happened to McCain, Palin would be president?

Look what Bush did to this country while serving as president and he had tons of political experience!

Vote with your head, not your emotions!

The rest of the world is laughing at us! If they aren't, they should be.

This November we'll be voting to elect our new president. For most of our lives this has been considered the most important office in the world. To elect someone to lead the most powerful country in the world is not a small task.

Let's face facts! We botched it in the 2004 elections. We re-elected someone who had already shown us that he was not fit for the job. That was the first strike against the American people. It showed the world that we could be scared into doing something that did not make any sense at all.

Now in 2008, we are surly showing our lack of common sense. We are once again in the middle of picking the right person to lead the most powerful country in the world. But, because we are letting our emotions control instead of using our heads, we have turned this election into an election between president and vice-president.

Instead of deciding who might be the best person to lead this country(McCain or Obama), we are pitting Obama and Palin against each other. McCain and Biden have been pushed into the background and might as well go home. They're just in it for the ride.

Even if people wake up and decide to vote on the real issues, the media seems to be pushing to keep the Obama/Palin battle in the foreground. It would appear that they(the media) are more concerned with ratings than who is elected to run the country.

Their are two big problems with this election!

1. Many women are more concerned with getting a women in the white house then they are about the future of the United States.

2. Their are many who still hold on to racism and are more concerned about Obama's skin color than they are about the future of this country.

This is probably the most important time in American history! A time for all of us to put our prejudices aside and do what needs to be done to put the USA back on the right track. A time to show the world that we are not controlled by petty emotions and can come together in a time of crisis.

The way we are acting right now has got to be very humorous for the rest of the world!

The McCain/Palin camp has been flooding the media with their ads and many of these ads condemn Obama for personal insults.

What they fail to note is that Obama has repeatedly and publicly denounced any personal insults. He has even agreed to debate McCain "if" McCain could refrain from using personal insults as it has been McCains' campaign who has been using these "personal insults" from the beginning.

Yes! There have been many insults aimed at McCain and Palin. But these insults have been started by ignorant people who have no connection with the Obama ticket.

More later!
