Palin leaves office with relish?

What’s wrong, Blog Guy? I don’t understand!

Huh? You don’t understand what?

I’ve been seeing pictures of former governor Sarah Palin yesterday serving hot dogs as she left the governor’s job.  Isn’t that a natural for you? Why aren’t you all over it?

Oh, that. It’s just too obvious. Too easy. What would I even say?

Come on, straighten up, Mister! You’d say like, Sarah Palin’s wurst job? Or look at the buns on that governor? Or losers and wieners? Or I know, Sarah the Redhot Mama?

Those are awful. I wouldn’t stoop that low, to be frank.

Frank? I get it! I knew I’d see a smile on that face. Now slap a goofy headline on this sucker, and you’re done for the day. It’s like putting lipstick on a pig!

You go, Tom. Obama was born in Kenya and he shouldn’t be in the White house. I’m from Montana, so you can see how I like the way Palin thinks. Montana and Alaska are probably only two of the very few free States we have left.

I suppose I better correct my grammatically incorrect statement or be called a big, bad liberal:

Since when IS one’s ability to articulate proper spelling and grammar a direct correlation to one’s political affiliation.

Whew….Glad I avoided THAT one….

Since when does one’s ability to articulate proper spelling and grammar a direct correlation to one’s political affiliation? Was that an attempt at a humorous statement? If it was you failed miserably.

Sarah Palin has a a hugh learning curve if she aspires to be the next President. She needs to improve her general knowledge for starters. How she would be able to develop intellectual depth is a very serious question indeed. A superficial individual would never succeed at White House. Only a person with razor-sharp intellect and real empathy should ever aspire for the White House. The country is at a critical juncture where the Commander-in-chief has to be a charismatic leader with facts at the finger-tips!

And might I add, this article is supposed to be about Palin. Then some right-wing nut decided to make an irrelevant comment to smoke screen the issue.

Palin lost the popular vote because she was not serving her state OR country with the needs of the MAJORITY of the people in mind. She was serving herself and her little group of friends that want Alaska to secede from the union.

Also, notably, I have never heard of her actually doing anything beneficial for the state…

And remember: MAJORITY is the key word. Not YOU or I or HIM or HER. We assume on basic principle that the MAJORITY is correct with its needs/wants over the minority. Right-wing nuts are definitely a minority, they just scream louder.

I do not personally like Palin, but you should realize that politics = popularity contest. It has nothing to do with what they say, but how much people like the way they say it. Candidates often try to push themselves apart by claiming different things in regards to different matters (i.e. candidate A is pro-life and candidate B is pro-choice) but when it really comes down to it, they will only fulfill their own agenda as they see fit. Some of them lie about this agenda, some don’t.

So, as you can see, nearly all politicians are ‘corrupt’ since they are human and have self-interest. I do not believe Obama is AS corrupt (hopefully he is not at all corrupt, but I’ve given up on such pipe dreams) as others that have come before him. I like when people do their jobs, and Obama is doing his - for better or for worse.

I’m just placing bets on whether or not he’ll be grey-haired by 2012.
