What century are we in?
Now that we are down to only 50 some + days before voting for the next pres, I'm tuning in as much as possible. Is it really that hard to say no to a nominee because his running mate has allegations of Book Banning in her past? No? Well, how about trying to fire a librarian who stood up to Palin, trying to preserve the little town library? Who is this person? Someone who abuses the per diem fund at the cost of tax payers? Someone who uses her baby with down syndrome as a sympathy vote? Hmmm... Somone who tries to take books away from the public. What is this about? Christianity? Really? This doesn't sound very friendly, very Christian-like to me.
In the past few years I've had the fairy-tale dream of living in another country, how neat it would be. The last few weeks I have realized how real that will become if this person steps in the white house. It is so close to a possibility, everyone should be scared. Get away from all the things I mentioned, and just realize this woman has no experience. Period. Sure, Mayor of a few thousand people, now gov of AK, but she has as much expeience in politics to make her qualified for the top spot as my mom. Right. Maybe not that extreme- but my mom grew up in Alaska, her paents homesteaded on flattop, I grew up there, but just because I would be a novelty, or she would, or you would, does not make us qualified, or even responsible individuals if we accepted such a position.
Maybe I'll stop for now.
