What I have seen in the last eight years is exactly what I would expect from a bunch of southern republican monkeys and it is exactly what we will see for the next four if we elect Mcain and Palin into office. How can someone go to vote on November 4th for the Republican ticket knowing that this highly unqualified individual is a ‘heartbeat away’ from leading our country. After having four heart attacks, which I might argue is three too many, McCain's pick should have been institutionally stronger. He had only met with her twice before offering her the position to the vice presidency. The total of her political experience is one and half years as governor of Alaska, and six years as a part-time mayor of a small town of about six people and ten caribou. It falls far short as preparation to be the president of the United States, but then again what is enough?
Not only is Palin unqualified, she is also far to the right of most Americans. Palin is anti-choice, opposing abortion even in the case of rape or incest. The former beauty queen supported ‘the anti-Semitic, anti-immigration Pat Buchanan’ for president in 2000. Sarah Palin is an evangelical Christian who believes that creationism should be taught in public schools. Unlike most Americans, Palin doesn't believe that humans are responsible for global warming.
Apart from all, I think that this governor from Alaska is selfish. So selfish, that because of her stance on abortion, she chose to have a child that would be doomed to a life of suffering and sickness. Early screening meant that she was warned about her son’s condition but she’s pro-life and refused to abort this kid on principle. This ‘gift from god’ will never be physically or mentally equal with any other child the same age without downs syndrome.
