After watching Palin’s acceptance speech, and having my intelligence insulted, I felt inspired to make a few observations…
Sarah says, the difference between governor and community organizer is responsibility. There is undoubtedly a difference, but here it is: The first includes payment for services rendered, recognition, and personal gain. The latter is predicated on altruism; a community organizer gets no glory-accepts no payment, and while not devoid of ambition, it is certainly not the sole motivation.
Sarah says: We must challenge the status quo, but to do this you would have to:
1. stop the war, not glorify it by focusing your speech on who “fought for the American people” and will continue to do so.
2. Plan for alternative fuel sources instead of initiating the battle cry of her party: DRILL, DRILL DRILL
3. Care about ALL children, not just those with special needs (although this does serve to demonstrate her tunnel vision).
Sarah says: I make appropriate cuts, I sold the jet on E-bay, and I fired the chef! I have vetoed enough propositions to save the state of Alaska half a million (or billion?) dollars. Question: What did she veto in order to save half a million dollars? What an interesting omission! What does that tell us? That fiscal wealth (at any cost) is what she will be helping McCain endorse. AND HOW MUCH DID SHE GET FOR THE JET?
During her self conratulatory speech, Sarah says: she “returned revenue where it belonged-to the people of Alaska-by telling Congress “thanks but no thanks” on a business proposition to build pipelines. How was that revenue returned, and who got it?
Sarah says: she sealed the deal for the gas pipeline. Now we know who to thank for the (inevitable) environmental fallout. But then again, she doesn’t believe that homosapiens have anything to do with the destruction of the Earth. Hey Sarah! Have you ever heard the phrase “GO GREEN”?
Sarah says: We need to stop depending on other countries for our oil and other natural resources. She also claims that “SHE” has plenty (in Alaska). Who knew it was her’s to parcel out? But, Sarah, do you have a plan for when “YOUR” resources run out? Because as the largest consumers of natural resources in the world the (entire) U.S. is gonna be in trouble when YOUR oil/gas runs out!
Sarah says: We need more nuclear plants. Apparently, there are threats lurking behind every corner. Wait-isn’t that how we got into this mess in the first place. And yes, by mess I mean WAR. Now your thinking Sarah! More nuclear plants are just what we need to kill more young people! And the axis of evil is the Middle East?
Sarah says: Obama has written two memoirs, but has not authored a single law! Well, little Sarah, perhaps the reason for that is that instead of surrounding himself with lobbyists and the like, he has more to contribute to the country at large than ABSOLUTE MONARCHY.
Sarah says: Obama never uses the word victory when he talks about the war. Perhaps that is because death and destruction benefit no one. PEACE, however, benfits EVERYONE.
Sarah pokes fun at Obama’s plan for the environment, and claims that she will be working to end our dependence on foriegn oil while Obama is “turning back the waters and healing the planet”. CHEEKY, but tranparent. Then again, I guess her promise to turn water into wine (by way of less taxes) for the Republicans is a better plan. Especially since she’s so into (gunshot) weddings.
Sarah says: Obama wants to tax the rich. YES HE DOES. She got that one right. Good for her! BUT, little Sarah, that raise will only apply to those that can afford it, where as the republican way is to save more money for those who already have plenty. Of course your supporters are angered by this-because it means that the time for hiding their fiscal assest is at an end. Sarah, the American people includes the poor. Maybe you should try to wrap your head around that.
Sarah says: Obama wants to end the war now that we are on the verge of a victory in Iraq. What victory in Iraq? I must have missed the memo-or the cease fire that usually accompanies a VICTORY.
Sarah says: Obama is worried about the Miranda Rights? Yes, he’s worried about obeying the LAW while seeking JUSTICE, not utilizing the power given to the commander and chief to behave in a way that reflects the same kind of terrorism that the current WHITE HOUSE claims to be fighting against.
Sarah says: McCain is not looking for a fight, but is not afraid of one. Yes, we know Sarah. That’s why he’s done all of Bush’s dirty work all of these years. If he were as brave as you claim, he would have maintained his maverick status and stuck to his political agenda.
Sarah says: The journey is not supposed to be about personal discovery. Really? How many times has she discovered, uncovered, and recovered from her public scandals and purposeful misrepresentations concerning her family? Clearly she hasn’t discovered her future son in law’s MySpace page. You know, the one where he states quite clearly that he doesn’t want any children?
Finally, Sarah implies that her experience as a governor makes her more qualified than Obama. How can she compare the governance of her state population (655,435) to anything. There are more people on my beloved island of MANHATTAN (1,537,195) then in the state where she promoted so much (self- proclaimed) change.
But hey Sarah, at least you have snappy comebacks! Oh wait- those comebacks really belong to the CURRENT SPEECH WRITER FOR PRESIDENT BUSH. Damn, you can even write your own stuff? Hey Sarah, your not in Juneau anymore!
