Is this the kind of judgment we want ..
…. in the oval office, one more cancer bout away from the presidency? Not me!
1) I want someone who takes care of his or her health and his or her children with a bit more care than this:
2) I want someone who avoids racial slurs.
Alaskans Speak (In A Frightened Whisper): Palin Is “Racist, Sexist, Vindictive, And Mean”
September 5, 2008
by Charley James –
“So Sambo beat the bitch!”
This is how Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin described Barack Obama’s win over Hillary Clinton to political colleagues in a restaurant a few days after Obama locked up the Democratic Party presidential nomination.
According to Lucille, the waitress serving her table at the time and who asked that her last name not be used, Gov. Palin was eating lunch with five or six people when the subject of the Democrat’s primary battle came up. The governor, seemingly not caring that people at nearby tables would likely hear her, uttered the slur and then laughed loudly as her meal mates joined in appreciatively.
“It was kind of disgusting,” Lucille, who is part Aboriginal, said in a phone interview after admitting that she is frightened of being discovered telling folks in the “lower 48” about life near the North Pole.
Then, almost with a sigh, she added, “But that’s just Alaska.”
Racial and ethnic slurs may be “just Alaska” and, clearly, they are common, everyday chatter for Palin.
Besides insulting Obama with a Step-N’-Fetch-It, “darkie musical” swipe, people who know her say she refers regularly to Alaska’s Aboriginal people as “Arctic Arabs” – how efficient, lumping two apparently undesirable groups into one ugly description – as well as the more colourful “mukluks” along with the totally unimaginative “f**king Eskimo’s,” according to a number of Alaskans and Wasillians interviewed for this article.
But being openly racist is only the tip of the Palin iceberg. According to Alaskans interviewed for this article, she is also vindictive and mean. We’re talking Rove mean and Nixon vindictive.
No wonder the vast sea of white, cheering faces at the Republican Convention went wild for Sarah: They adore the type, it’s in their genetic code. So much for McCain’s pledge of a “high road” campaign; Palin is incapable of being part of one.
So what else should I be looking for in a VP? Experience? Knowledge? Intelligence? Belief in science and actual education? Respect for the decision-making ability of women? Pregnant women? Pregnant women who may die if they give birth?
That flowchart is so beatutiful, I want to hang it on my wall. Nooo shit.
1) When all that most women want is an epidural, this Bullwinkler chooses a road trip. Unbelievable! No, really.
2) Palin is racist, sexist, vindictive, and mean; or, to put it more succinctly, Palin is Today’s Republican.
watch her carefully avoid the press – and watch (hopefuly) the press start to turn on her
one can hope can they
