Sarah Palin is voting for the democrats

After so much of Obama baiting in her campaigns, Sarah Palin, the Republican vice-presidential candidate has finally given up on her party. She has now openly expressed her support for the Democratic ticket represented by Barrack Obama. Here’s how she expressed her support:

Apparently Palin does not know that the donkey is the symbol of the Democratic party. By wearing this neck scarf she has thus publicly pledged her support for Obama.

The Obama campaign must be thanking their stars. Not often do you get the rival vice-presidential candidate to endorse you publicly, do you?

Sarah Palin is an incapable and stupid hypocrite

Who is Sarah Palin? This was the question on the minds of a majority of Americans when John McCain announced her as the Republican vice-presidential candidate for the upcoming US presidential elections. The McCain campaign machinery went into overdrive to establish Palin as the face of the campaign. 

Introduction of Palin in the McCain campaign injected a freshness that initially held the whole nation in sway. As time went on the charm wore off. Even though initially very impressive in her speeches, Palin committed gaffe, after gaffe, after gaffe in the subsequent days. Now it seems that she is all about winks and smiles and “darn”-s and “gosh”-s. 

Palin is a person who cannot answer a question. To her, every question appears to be a tricky one. Even ones as simple and straight forward as what magazines she reads got cryptic and twisted answers. To the questions about her choice of magazines she went on a ramble about Alaska not being a third-world state. What the….!!!

She has displayed a very disappointing command over foreign policy and her ignorance reached its peak when somehow she tried to convince that being able to see Russia from parts of Alaska was tantamount to having foreign policy experience. She has very little idea about the truth about Iraq and all she does is toe the party line on it.

Her being pro-life is really another laughable aspect. The entire concept of being pro-life or anti-abortion is somewhat related to curtailing the freedom of choice of people. In fact, during the VP debate, she appeared to be very much uncomfortable about and against the idea of same-sex marriage. Wake up Mrs Palin!!! This is the 21st century. 

During the debate she mentioned something about sitting around the kitchen table and discussing the future of her family. From the facts she is doing a pretty lousy job of looking after her family. She has a 16 year old daughter who is pregnant with the child of a 17 year old high-school hockey player and wants to get married to the boy. Is this what Mrs Palin sees as the future of her family? Or is sending off her eldest son to Iraq just after high-school qualify as future planning? Beats me.

She keeps on saying that she is a hockey mom. Ok we accept it. But why would we want a hockey mom as the VP of USA? We need is a person who has the credentials for the job and clearly Sarah Palin is not qualified. All she has to say is about her tenure as a mayor and a governor. As a mayor she commissioned a sports complex which is mired in controversy and lawsuits. As a mayor of a town of 6000 people she left the town with a budget deficit. As a governor she commissioned the failed bridge to nowhere but succeeded in building the road to nowhere. And  all this with taxpayers money. When she can’t properly manage a state with a population of 700,000 people (most of the cities in the US have more population) how can she manage the country as a VP?

Lastly, Sarah Palin talks of being a Washington outsider and she prides herself for that. But by contesting the elections isn’t she trying to be an insider? So why this fake show of pride Mrs Palin? Who are you trying to impress? 

All these facts show that Sarah Palin is nothing but a shallow, unqualified, stupid and incapable hypocrite.
