Palin did well? Really? REALLY?

So I'm not exactly sure how she gets away with this on a national stage, how is it possible in this day and age to completely flop in a debate and be credited with doing well. Flop. Yeah, I said it. Here's the driving force behind that notion: interchange the answers from Biden and Palin. It becomes pretty clear that Biden completely fails.

However, Palin just had to speak in complete sentences to get credited for doing well. Is this how far this country has fallen? It's gotten to the point where we don't bat an eye when there is a woman who is so clearly absent-minded that we grade her on a different curve than everyone else. She totally refused to answer her questions, and if a news organization comes out and says it... Well, they get discredited because they have the so-called liberal bias.

This is sexism at it's finest, and I'm not afraid to say it. She's a pretty white girl, and regardless of the fact that she's totally devoid of anything resembling a rational thought, she can wink at the camera and everything's cool. If a man was doing the same thing, McCain would have already dumped him for somebody else.

That brings me to another thing that annoys the crap out of me. Palin says that regular people like her becasue they seem to believe that she's just a regular person. It's pretty clear she's not a regular person, she has a tanning bed in her mansion after all. That said, so-called regular people shouldn't be elected to president. Big Sal at Max's Bar should never be  anywhere close to the presidency, and he's a regular guy (although perhaps more qualified than Palin, he's a factory manager... He's experienced at running things!). If someone is holding the most powerful position in the free world, wouldn't like to have someone who's got an Ivy League education?

Joe Six-Pack, because all "regular people" are apparently alcoholics, should NEVER be in the White House.

Ugh, Sarah Palin...

Look, I don't really want to get too much into the bullshit story that is Sarah Palin. I think it's funny how she could be getting such a free pass on certain things because no one wants to be called sexist. It's BS, she lied in her first speech as the VP nominee, and not a single media source called her on it. Hell, she says the same damn thing in every interview or speech? And why? Because no one has the balls to go at her on it. That's not the only thing that bothers me either.

SHE DID SUPPORT THE BRIDGE TO NOWHERE. It's on tape. Hell, it's in print. And it wasn't even like it was a long time ago. When she says she sold the plane on eBay, she didn't. She sold the plane, but it was at a loss. She took per diem pay when she stayed at her own home. Not exactly fiscally conservative, is it? Hell, when she was mayor of Wasilla, AK... she left the city 20 million dollars in debt. Let me say that shit again, she is a so-called fiscal conservative who left a town of less than 10,000 in a state with a population less than that of Charlotte, NC TWENTY million dollars in debt. And we expect her to help get rid of a trillion dollar plus debt at a national level?

That doesn't even mention the fact that she's not even that familiar with her job. Just a couple months ago, someone asked her if she would accept the VP spot. Her answer? She said she wasn't even sure what a VP does. Hell, Charlie Rose asked her about the Bush Doctrine, and she didn't even know what that meant. The issues in the U.S. prior to this recession revolved around foreign policy. John McCain couldn't tell you that Czechoslovakia wasn't a country. Sarah Palin probably couldn't spell it.

The experience issue is BS too. The conservative keep going on and on about her so-called executive experience. If executive experience mattered that much, why didn't they elect Rudy Giuliani? Hell, Giuliani was mayor of city that's got a LOT more people than the state of Alaska. Besides, just because someone can be manager of Wal-Mart doesn't mean that same someone can be the CEO of Wal-Mart.

The sexism claims from the right baffle me too. Shoot, the most sexist action by anyone in this election season has been from John McCain. McCain chose Palin because he thought that the Hillary voters would swing to him regardless of the fact that Palin is polar opposite of Palin on almost every issue. I'd like to think women aren't that dumb. I can't see a woman making an informed decision to vote for a woman that she disagreed with on every issue just because the candidate is a woman.

But I digress...
