Sarah Palin claims to be a Washington outsider who will bring change to politics as we know it. She makes outlandish claims that she gains foreign policy experience as Governor of Alaska, economic expertise as a small town mayor, and understands the needs of the people as a hockey mom.
We all knew she was full of crap when she agreed to run as VP (and if elected, most likely President), but for a moment, we could have believed that she was . . . different.
I don’t care if her jacket costs $1 or $100. I don’t care if her daughters, or for that matter, any relative attends events with her. I don’t care if her mullet costs $4 or $400. What I care about is her deceptive manners and cronyism that has represented the GOP politicians since Carter.
I am sick of hearing about Joe the Plumber’s six-pack, caring for the average auto-mechanic Jane and how the failed ‘trickle down’ theory of Regan and Bush will actually work if American’s are dumb enough to give the Republicans another shot.
It is idiotic for someone to argue at 2pm that pork-barrel spending is out of control while spending $75,000 in one shopping spree. What is offensive about it, however, is that her version of pork-barrel spending is taken from the funds of McCain’s failing campaign. With the $150,000 he has spent dressing a lipstick-wearing pig to look like a politician, he could have been writing and producing more made-up Obama policies to run against.
What is wrong, however, is that she is publicly stealing from taxpayers. She claims to reform and cut, but the reality is that she raises taxes, overspends and steals. It is unacceptable for her young children to be traveling at the state’s expese. I have a difficult time believing that a 9 year-old is representing the state to anyone. I’m suprized that she didn’t also charge the state for their clothing and food. Afterall, if they have nothing to wear and eat, how can they represent Alaska to her husband at a snow mobile race?
She has lied, lied and lied. As she is caught, she replaces reality with her own ficition and pretends that it is all okay. She breached ethics rules in her fireings, used private e-mails to get around the inconvinient law, has stolen from the people of Alaska and stolen from the GOP, and robbed her towns piggy bank for self-interested projects.
When this election is over and the GOP bans her from the continential US, I think that the Alaskan legislature should bring impeachment charges, the IRS should bring tax charges, and the attorney general should file charges for theft.
I don’t care who you are or where you are from, when you use any position of power to take unauthorized funds to pay for you and your kids’ lifestyle, that is stealing.
Apparently the GOP still hasn’t taught their politicians right from wrong.
