John McCain is delivering a major address on his "economic plan" today, which basically means he's reading some speech written by a hack that blames everything on Obama. But right beside him is Sarah Palin, because if you haven't noticed, McCain cannot speak anywhere without someone standing beside him. If it's not his second wife Cindy-Lou, it's his new political wife, Sarah. If it's not Joe Lieberman, it's Lindsey Graham, or maybe Phil Gramm. And have you noticed how often McCain is saying really stupid things, like that he's not sure he would meet with the prime minister of Spain, and Palin is a foreign policy expert because Alaska is next to Russia, and Czechoslovakia is still a country, and the fundamentals of our economy are sound?
John McCain is apparently incapable of handling a speech or a campaign stop by himself. Reports have come out that in their joint campaign appearances, Sarah speaks first and introduces John, and when he starts speaking the crowds start to leave. And yesterday she asked everyone to elect Palin - McCain.
The right wing nut job evangelicals have put their Manchurian candidate into the veep slot because they know McCain won't last for four years, and she does too. She already is putting herself at the top of the ticket. McCain's physical health is often talked about, but it is his mental health that is the bigger problem. John McCain acts suspiciously like he is in the early stages of dementia and that makes him totally unqualified to run the country. Likewise, Sarah Palin is unqualified to run the country, and she could never be elected president. She could probably not win in a primary (though we are talking about Republicans here and they are a lot more gullible than Democrats) and if by some miracle she did, she would crash and burn in a general election if she was at the top of the ticket, because the press scrutiny would expose her for the complete fool that she is. But if McCain can hide her stupidity by keeping her close, and if she can distract from his dementia, by drawing crowds and being the shiny new object, they stand a small chance of victory.
And victory would put the religious wing nuts in charge, which is why they demanded McCain pick her.
A McCain-Palin victory would really be a Palin victory and that could very well spell the end of our nation - starting with ending the first amendment. Good-bye freedom of religion, good-by separation of church and state, good-bye freedom of speech. You criticize her, she goes after you. I don't want to live in a country run by Sarah Palin.
