But she is a nice girl...

They say she is a nice girl... or more to the point.. a nice woman..
but nice finish last as the old saying goes..

The political scene has gotten interesting to say the least.
And once again we have a woman put up in the offer of a
Presidential election office. First Geraldine Ferrero,
then Hillary Clinton and now Sarah Palin.

Why, oh, why, do these men keep putting up the wrong
ones. Because you know it is men who make these choices.
There are women out there, who are strong and
Responsible, without husband who drag on them. Ferrero,
if you recall, there was some investigations going on with
him and his business. Clinton, had bad boy Bill, as an
albatross around her neck. And Palin, we are just getting
started and we see all kinds of flags going on.

We have the Red flag. That one of her jobs, before she
was Mayor, was on a commission board for the Gas &Oil
Commission. Of which her husband's family business
has something to do with oil.
She wants to open up the sea for oil drilling. Not for the
good of United States but for the good of Alaska and their
people. Not there is a lot wrong with that… when you are
a Governor. But we have had our fair share of oil business,
Presidents and Vice Presidents. So this seems to be more
of the same old stuff, of the last 8 years.

Then we have the Pink flags. Abuse of power of the office,
that she is being investigated for now. As she allegedly,
(that is what is called now instead of accused) helped
the head of the State Police to decide that he wanted to
work else where, after she had requested heavily that he
fire her brother in law, and he refused to fire the young
man. Who happen to be going thru a custody case with
her sister. She even allegedly sent out an investigator of her
own, to see what the Investigation committee would find.
Like how her husband allegedly, had a meeting with this
Chief of the State Patrol in her office when she was not there.
This is not good for election year.

The other Pink flag is... The Bridge To Nowhere...
while running for office of Governor, she told the town of
Ketchikan that it was a wonderful idea to have this bridge
and how it would help them. But after being elected in to
the office of Governor, she turn around and pulled the
plug on the thought, because the media was riding high
on the very thought of it, and then of course the Karina
situation came along and the money when south. In more
ways than one. But ah, I am sure there will be those who
will say, a lady has a right to change her mind.

And all of this before we even get her out of Alaska. Now
we have her out front and center. She calls Hillary a whiner.
Well, if the McCain's brought her on board to win the Hillary
votes, they went out of the window right there and then. No
one calls Hillary a whiner, and gets votes from the Traveling
Pantsuit Bunch. I don't even like Hillary, but she has way
more going for her than Palin has. Hillary has forgotten more
than Palin knows.

If McCain brought her forward to ward off Biden during
the debates, that is sad.. Biden can not go lightly on her,
because she will have to stand up to tougher than Biden
if she ends up in office. When you play with the big boys,
you play by the big boys rules. And the world is full of
the big boys for rulers and officials.

So being a Mayor of a town that looks like it was out of
Northern Exposure (remember the show on TV), and Governor
of a state that doesn't seem to have much in common with
the lower 48 (by their own admission), should know how to
run the United State, if McCain falters, mental, or physically?
I don’t think so.

Has she dealt with Canada? Has she dealt with Russia? Has
she visited their nations and talked to their officials? After all,
these are her neighbors. Does she have a clue how to get
things in order for a Karina situation? Last one I knew of up
in Alaska was a earthquake about 30 years ago. What about
another 9-11? So what does she know about running a country?
I see nothing in her Alaskan experience that will ready her.
And frankly, I don’t see McCain training her in the meantime.

Saying because she was Governor of a State for 20 months,
that she can run a country.... is kind of like saying you can
drive a semi truck, when you know how to drive a pick up.
Not a pretty picture.

I surmise they are getting all the so called dirt out before the election which is nearly two months away from now.

Then after all the mud dragging is all over or if it never dies, McCain will pull something out of his hat that will put a real cloud over Obama. It's all about timing -he is just riding it out. No one saw the Palin surprize coming, I doubt if anyone will see the next one, either.

I like her and there is not a doubt in my mind with the relationship that we have with Russia right now - we/Alaska would not become their next target. Very strategic move on McCain's part and smart. Alaska is also a strategic state in resources and almost it's own little country. I would not want to piss them off. Alaskans would fight to the death to keep their state, while we here in Idaho just give it all away.
