Oh Sarah, (and before I get started, everyone brace yourself because Leah Gibson will be making a comment). People can't get enough of this woman. Maybe it's cause Sarah "Barracuda" Palin enjoys referring to Senator John McCain as the "Maverick" as if they played sports together when they were young. Guess what? This is not a game, it's running the freaking country and it scares the poop out of me that this woman who doesn't even know when she's in Iraq or when she's in Kuwait could quite possibly become the head of our nation. Don't deny it, "the Maverick" is old. If he's elected, he will be the oldest president our country will have had. He could die in office, it's a huge possibility. Think about it.
Now, I have been referred to as liberal and if I have to wear a label one being conservative and the other liberal (click on the words to get the definitions), I will claim liberal. That said, all I want for Christmas is a presidential team (V.P. Included) that actually shows some form of intelligent life. They don't have to know all the answers, but they need to know who to go to for the answers and at least understand the general concepts of these solutions people are coming up with for issues like health care, economy, foreign policy and more. It doesn't seem that tough, but poor little Georgey boy couldn't do it. I'd bet a lot of money that he doesn't even read a newspaper in the morning. Okay, wrong soap box-back to Palin.
The woman is praised for being a great mom with 5 kids, one who is a special needs baby and being just a super Christian. Super, Huh? I'm not saying that anyone is perfect, but will someone please explain to me the irony of such a good God fearing woman who is pro-life that has a 17 year old daughter, who is not married, that has exercised that right already? According to Palin's beliefs, should her daughter even be having sex? I don't think so. Why are we so quick to overlook that?
As nice of a woman as she probably is, that does not qualify her to be Vice President of the United States of America. Yea, I've been quoted as having said, "we need less politicians in government and more people who get involved because they want to see change. But that doesn't mean just any PTA mom who refers to Putin as "rearing his head" from Russia, like the freaking lochness monster or something is equipped to be Vice President. Although, she did win the Miss Congeniality award as well as 3rd place in the Miss Alaska Pageant and was able to graduate with a Bachelor's degree after 5 years and 4 colleges and universities later. I mean seriously people, there are some brilliant individuals who follow domestic and world issues and could make great advances to our government who are your standard engineer or doctor who is also a PTA mom, but Sarah Palin is NOT that person. Now, I'd like to end my ode with some of my favorite little clips of our "Barracuda" that I've compiled from the large collection possibilities. Enjoy.

you will appreciate this sarah: http://strangemaps.wordpress.com/2008/10/04/316-les-extremes-se-touchent-palinworld/
Oh Sarah, I felt like this post was unfair. You are being pretty judgmental, especially with the part about her pregnant daughter. I hope we can all be great parents and teach our kids about the sanctity of marriage and saving sex, but I think a lot of that is up to the grace of God. I also think it is unfair for you to disregard a person because you feel they are not smart enough. How do you know how smart she is, have you personally spoken to her? Have you given her the Sarah Michel IQ test? I think it is possible that some candidates may be more articulate than others and if that is your point, then I agree. She may not have much experience, but Dick Cheney had a hell of experience- I think everyone would agree, he was plenty "qualified"...look where that got us. It seems to me that there are no great or even good options in this election when you consider ALL of the issues, maybe there never are...so let's just do what we have to do- vote and then know that God is sovereign. And let's not get malicious because then you just sound like one of them and you are better than that.
YOU IDIOTS IN THE BACK!
This is an unrelated comment meant to lighten the mood. I have just discovered your blog. Thank you for the distraction from work.
Rock on Sarah! I totally agree, and your post made me laugh, and then the videos made me laugh more.
Sarah Palin's background bothers you: okay.
Barak Obama's background bothers me. I don't think he'll be a terrible president at all, but I probably won't vote for him. I think that's okay. So it's okay for Sarah Palin to bother you, and it's okay for that to affect your vote. We are voting for who we want to represent us to the world and what not.
But be careful how you express it: words are powerful and you don't want to eviscerate anyone.
The elections matter and we should care about who are leaders are. But if your poop is being scared out of you, I think you need to remember Who is really in control of everything (as Rachel said).
I like reading your blog!
I removed my comment because it was mean. Please forgive me. I was a little bit "heated" when I wrote it, and "a little bit" is understating it.
The only thing I do want to say is that your comment about Sarah Palin's daughter did not reflect a Christian point of view- namely that righteousness happens through faith by grace. Unfortunately, I know too many parents who have to deal with that issue, and I don't think their faith should be negated bc of their children- they usually hurt and mourn over that situation.
Okay, one thing. I didn't mean to low blow Palin or her daughter. Everybody calm the hell down. I'm just pointing out the irony of it.
I'd also like to point out the irony of me getting judged on my judging. I'm done. :)
