I woke up today and for some reason immediately thought of Palin and the selection and the entire process, or lack there of. And it just kinda popped into my head.
This has all been a dream.
Right?
I mean... I just don't get it. She is completely unqualified, has more scandals (real scandals) than ANY of his other possible VP choices, and yet there she stands...
2 months, a stolen election, and 1 heartbeat from the presidency.
Is this for real? Is this the USA? Somebody slap me or pinch me or dowse me in water.
I. Don't. Get. It.
I mean, forget about "baby-gate", forget about being mayor of 5,000 people, forget about the gross abuse of powers, forget about only having 18 months as Alaska's Govenor and forget about the AIP.
OH wait... that's all there is! And that is the freaking point!
Obama's campaign has a grueling vetting process. The looked up everything on every one of the potential VP picks, numerous interviews of each, financial records, etc.
And McCain meets Palin for the first time one or two days before "he" selects her.
NO. Don't buy it. Didn't happen. Not a chance.
In the movie Runaway Jury, Gene Hackman delivered a line that will always stick with me. "Lawsuits are too important to be left up to jurors."
I hear that and I envision KKKarl Rove saying "Elections are too important to be left up to voters."
And now, I hear who ever the fuck is in charge of McCranky's campaign saying "VP selections are too important to be left up to the presidential candidate."
Can somebody please explain to me how they could possible think this could work? I mean... they aren't stupid people, at least not politically; they did steal the last two elections.
So how the hell do think this was a good pick? I just don't get it, and the more I think about it the more it baffles me.
