Sarah Palin - The Circus

If I was Republican, I would be embarrassed at the circus that Sarah Palin has become. They threw Palin into the fray without fully vetting her and now we see the result. The Press is all over her like "white on rice", as they say. And they should be when someone this unqualified is presented as a VP candidate. She is barely qualified to be Governor of Alaska, let alone the Vice President of the US. Is this the best the Republicans can do?

Let's recap:

She knows little about foreign policy, can't name a magazine or newspaper that she regularly reads, pretends to be an expert on Oil issues, can't name a Supreme Court decision, believes in creationism (even though her father is a Science teacher), does not mind forcing someone who is a victim of incest to carry a pregnancy to term, can't hold her own in a simple interview and needs her father (McCain), to accompany her on interviews, and, stretches things wherever and whenever necessary - bridge to nowhere, her own record on earmarks, the vast experience she claims as a mayor of a 7,000 person city, etc.

The Republican Party has produced many intelligent, articulate, well-read leaders in the past....many of them women. Why do they lower themselves to this level to get a few more votes. What does it say about the future of the party when they allow a pick like this? Three words: it's not good.
