Palin is a "head-in-the-sand," flag waving nin-cum-poop,that, unfortunately Americans just love to elect to office because they won't tell us what is really happening - they tell us what we want to hear. Palin is, I'm afraid, the weapons of mass destruction that we could not find in Iraq - they are right here at home.

Palin will be going back to Alaska in early November; but, it is most unfortunate that in four years she will be returning and next time she will have four more years experience, learning, skills and abilities that will require Obama to absolutely excell in his first term to defeat her for a second. Considering the barrel of shit that
Bush has left for Obama, it is highly unlikely that he will be reelected as the right-winged braying asses are going to be all over him as they were with Uncle Bill Clinton.

I could complain about the whole "debate," but I won't; instead, please know that, for me, the height of insincerity and the insurance of her having a plasticene heart was when Palin came out and nicely asked, "Can I call you Joe?" That was not a move to be friendly, but rather, a method of phoniness to set it up so she could use the phrase, "Say it ain't so, Joe" later in the debate - what bullshit. If I am correct, she didn't refer to Senator Biden as "Joe" except when she used that phrase - which I don't think she even wrote.

It is really time folks, for this country to drop the "American Idol" approach to electing government officials - we need to be electing statesmen who are put in office for the substance of their policies, not their phoney words and plastic smiles. I am sick and tired of the Reagans and Bushs and Palins and I know we can do better than this nonsense. How about a Lincoln, or an Adams or a Jefferson, or a Franklin? No, not Franklin, he's too good as an outside agitator keeping the officials in line and actually doing something; besides, he had a "Clintonesque" reputation, and heck, that just wouldn't work in todays politics, by golly - you betcha!
