| One Reason that McSame should be VERY wary of Sarah Palin(comparison) |
|
This is going to be (hopefully) my last thread about Sarah Palin(comparison). The many here who say that the real target here is John McSame are absolutely right. His carelessness in not vetting his VP choice should be much more an issue than SHE actually is. There should also be an awareness of his cowardice in the face of the far right of his party in not picking the running mate of his choice. It is certainly an indication of how independent of the republican extremists he would NOT be as president.
However, I have noticed a Palin(comparison) pattern that should give Mr. McSame and his handlers pause.
It has become clear that Palin(comparison) has one mantra to her political career.
"It's ALL about Sarah"!
She, quite probably, has the same viewpoint that twit romney would have had as a VP choice. That is, that their future political career is MUCH BETTER served by a McSame defeat than a McSame victory.
She knows that her future as a presidential candidate would be MUCH stronger if she were attacking a President Obama than it would be in defending 12 to 16 years of frightful cheney/bush/McSame policy failures.
Does she speak of her loyalty to McSame? Yes. Is that loyalty genuine on 9/7/08? Almost certainly yes. Will that loyalty remain as it appears more and more that they are headed to defeat by mid to late October? Probably not. Is Sarah out for Sarah and screw everybody else? HELL YES!
This is, after all, the VP nominee who stayed on the convention floor, taking pictures and signing autographs with the faithful after the Presidential nominee left. I've NEVER seen that happen in the many conventions I've watched since my first in 1960 (when I was 5).
McSame beware. Sarah is in this for HERSELF. If you get run over in the process, so be it!
PEACE!

| 1. True... beyond the fact her most extreme fundie supporters |
|
are actively praying for McCain's demise--so that the "beloved" Sarah would be top of the ticket. Not a major stretch of the imagination that some psycho loony might decide God had sent him on the mission... :shrug:
McCain has already taken the worst of ego hits-- he is no longer the "star" of his own ticket. McCain is going to regret this choice, if he hasn't already.

| 4. The fact that they're hiding her from any questioning... |
|
...indicates that they know what a disastrous pick this is.
Still, I can understand their confusion. Scrutiny in the media is not something that this generation of republicans is used to.
