Third blog. Sarah Palin. Sarah Palin is a gimmick, and a poorly chosen one at that. At first all you hear about is will the democrats unite? There exists a conceived split between hillary supporters and Obama supporters. McCain is simply trying to capitalize on Palin being a woman. He wants the supporters and he will sink to this low to get it. Palin also has less experience than Obama. She hasn’t even served a full term as governor. AND she is governor of a state that is not in the least bit representative of the united states as a whole. She is involved in an ongoing investigation regarding a time she may have over stepped her boundaries and tried to us her influence illegally. Her 17 year old daughter is pregnant. This one really gets to me for a multitude of reasons. 1. A 17 year old girl should not be a news story, especially for her pregnancy. BUT whose fault is it the 17 year old girl is in the spotlight and probably undergoing immense stress? Her mother’s. If her mother had not accepted the nomination her family would not be undergoing any unwanted scrutiny and stress. ALSO, if a mother cannot instill her daughter with enough morals to not be having sex at her age she should at least be able to raise her smart enough to use contraceptives if doing so. If a woman can’t keep control over her own family, how can she lead a country? What makes me so mad about it all is McCain did not pick this person for her leadership prowess, he chose her for her and her family’s image. They are the every American, people vote for the every American. The thing is though, do you want neighborhood Bob from the mechanic’s shop leading your country? Everyman Bob discussing national safety with the heads of foreign nations? Or do you want someone ahead of the pack? Tell me this. Would you vote for Sarah Palin if she was running for president and McCain vice? Hell no. Would you vote for Biden if he was running with Obama as vice? Not nearly as eagerly, but yes.
Also I type these quickly and don’t check for typos or errors, so forgive me.
