Good news, bad news or newsworthy? The Princess of the G.O.P. has hit all three of them. The good news is the citizens of Alaska will now have a competent governor instead of a glorified member of the PTA as their “leader”. Yes, I’m aware that the Princess was duly elected, however it was those who voted against the incumbent,Republican Frank Murkowski in the primary (must be pretty bad when a sitting governor loses to a PTA parent in a primary) and then refused to elect a former two-term Democrat Governor in the General Election. It was just being in the right place at the right time. Evidently, Goofy could have been elected if he could have run.
In all actuality, just what did she bring to the table? She basically run the governor’s office from her home in Wasilla, using an abundance of state funds to do so. Then used her position in a personal vendetta against a retired Marine who was the Chief of Alaska Law Enforcement. She preached family values, however the message evidently get through to her minor daughter, who proceeded to become pregnant! She didn’t know anything about world affairs, not even the difference between Iraq and Iran.
The only reason, and I mean the ONLY reason that Sen. John McCain selected her as a running mate was that she was a woman. When Hillary lost to Obama, McCain was trying to capitalize on all the disappointed women who were loyal to her. Well, as history has noted, that political move ended the GOP threat to Obama. Then, the infamous Katy Couric interview by the Princess Pretender put the final nail in the coffin.
So, what does this woman bring to the table that would qualify her to be President of the United States and Commander-In-Chief of all the armed forces? Tell me just ONE thing. Right now, her popularity as a Governor is sinking faster than King George’s did…AND she had two more years to go to complete the job that Alaskans elected her to do! And She walks away from it, claiming the “attacks” on her family as the main reason. Boo Hoo. Then, using one of her children again, claims that her 14-month-old son who has Down’s Syndrome, “had been mocked and ridiculed by some mean spirited adults”. Yet, when questioned about her statement, she refused to say anything.
That is the way Republicans do things…throw out a red herring and hope people go for it. The Princess Pretender should have paid closer attention to King George and Dick “Darth Vader” Cheney instead of listening to McCain. Those two were masters of the red herring toss!
Bottom line is, the woman was in way over her head in the world of politics and her lack of experience was fast catching up with her in Alaska. Quit while I’m still a little ahead…don’t waste or risk all of my political capitol in the next two years. That was her reason, and nothing else…that is, unless there is some gross mismanagement issues that have not been publicized yet, which wouldn’t surprise me. Could it be yet ANOTHER illicit love affair by yet another BIG Republican?
