Palin Makes Right Decision Not To Run

Sarah Palin’s announcement not to run for President in 2012 was noble.

Consider her qualifications.

Like Obama, she isn’t qualified to be the President of the most powerful nation on this planet. Having served as mayor of a small town and then briefly as Governor of Alaska, she lacks Federal legislative and executive experience in the brutal Washington political environment.

Moreover, she may not fully understand the enormous power struggles that go on in the Federal level and the difficult compromises that must be garnered, especially those that go against her principles.

Actually, Palin is more valuable to this country as a “cheerleader” for the Tea Party. She has a talent for motivating the base.

Finally, as a writer and an advocate at paid public appearances, she’s in a better place financially.

Keep Digging!

The media keeps on diggin’ in an effort to find as much dirt as possible on McCain’s running mate Sarah Palin. Each word from her acceptance speech is scrutinized by the media.

The latest?

Palin’s statement that she placed the state jet used by former Alaskan Governor Murkowski on Ebay is now being vetted by the media. Apparently, the plane didn’t sell on Ebay. Rather, it sold via an aviation broker for less than it’s original purchase price.

Who cares? The fact is that Governor Palin eliminated a unnecessary state expense that she believed was unjustly dropped in the laps of Alaskan taxpayers.

What’s more important– how the plane was sold, or the fact that is was sold?

Do We Want to Know That Much?

Governor Sarah Palin’s unanticipated entry into this manufactured Presidential Election only adds more fuel to a fire that needs to be stomped out.

The attacks on Governor Palin’s daughter confirm the intensity of this obnoxious power struggle between democrats and republicans. As we’ve come to expect, it’s getting nastier everyday and turning American’s off.

Keep in mind, this commercial-free garbage is being televised to the world via television and the internet.

Are the candidates providing us with solutions to serious issues like the multi-trillion dollar debt that strangles our nation; the enormous amount of reckless spending that our legislators continue to approve by stealth; or, how about the erosion of our liberty and privacy?

No, you won’t hear that from this “high school class president-level” of discourse.

Both parties are certainly responsible for the mess that faces our country, and despite their promises, once elected they’ll do nothing to change our situation, unless the next president has the power to persuade congress.

Recent history tells us that congress is now controlled by lobbyists fueled by powerful special interest organizations. It’s so much easier for an elected representative to take their money, and vote as directed in order to perpetuate membership in these political machines and personal power.
