A look at Palin

Palin is what she is, an evangelical mom with an urge for attention; hence, the PTA and now the election for Vice President.

Like everyone, she has her strong and weak points. Her strong points are found in medieval cosmology. Palin's got strong points in her skill and ability to stand before crowds and project strength and vigor, plus she's very well spoken on her own turf. As for complete honesty and a "Christian" respect for truth, she bends to the wishes of her peer group.

I expect to see her develop the skills and relationships that she has forged in her campaign for vp. These relationships are and will be made with other evangelicals as well as professional involved in republican politics. The latter need work and whether she can win or not, they need the work.

I cannot wish her future as a politician well because she endorses war and nukes, neither of which have anything to do with Christianity or the future of species populations in the wild.

McCain has lost it -- As if it matters.

It looks like John McCain's blowing it in chunks.

He's lost my respect. He says that "Obama will say anything" while Palin does say anything!

This guy's 72 years old and he looks and moves like he's 82.
The presidency requires someone with a certain amount of vigor, and I don't recall any film clips of McCain exercising for pro-longed periods of time. How's he going to stay awake and alert for prolonged periods of time? I'm 61; so I know for certain what he must be dealing with. There are perky, strong and agile 72-year-old men, McCain is not one of them.

He's not over-weight, judging by the pictures. But he's beatup terribly.
McCain must be taking a handful of pills to keep going. How could it be otherwise judging by his history and age. I don't see it. Where's his medical records?

Just by placing the US at risk because of his age and condition, just by selecting this Palin character, just by running the campaign he's running, he's lost my respect.
This is the guy that I thought should have had the Republican helm years ago. Now look at him.

Obama looks like he's got a chance.

It looks like Obama may actually have a chance at the presidency. Just why he would want to be president is beyond me.
There is not much that he can actually do at this point, considering the mess that he's going to inherit. I suppose that he can get some green technology subsidized at the expense of oil subsidies. I suppose that he can get the ball rolling for a decent, affordable health care system. After all, remove the pork, remove the wars, remove the corporate socialism and something could happen for people.
If he is savvy, he'll throw-in with those Europeans talking about finance capital serving people and business rather than people and business serving finance capital.
I can barely imagine the cost savings when 140 US military bases around the World are closed.

Now all of this is conjecture of course because the Republicans and Dibold are nearly one in the same. And those Dibold machines would have served Stalin, as they have served the Republicans. The point is not who votes and how, but "who counts the votes," Dibold in this case.

Fighting crime when and where I can.

Iraq & Afghanistan

Iraq and Afghanistan will not bend to US needs. Iraq remains to explode like a volcano and Afghanistan remains to sink into a midieval mud hole.
Iraq's educational gains will vanish while Afghanistan's educational backwardness will grow in depth and breadth.

US troops will continue to die in vain just as Soviet troops died in vain fighting Reagan's Taliban soldiers. It could have been otherwise.
I would look to the last Bush for setting up this inevitable failure in diplomacy.
Look to Pakistan to go down a similar path.

Palin abused power in firing

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Sarah Palin unlawfully abused her power as governor by trying to have her former brother-in-law fired as a state trooper, the chief investigator of an Alaska legislative panel concluded Friday. The politically charged inquiry imperiled her reputation as a reformer on John McCain's Republican ticket.

Interesting little film here of our would-be vice-president. See the Time story.

Different Characters, Same Crap

<<Palin refuses to cooperate with that inquiry, which she says has become too political, citing comments made by the Democratic senator overseeing the case. She is only cooperating with the personnel board inquiry, which is much more secretive, is run by people she can fire, and could take years to resolve.>

Palin's going to fit into the Washington Beltway nice and neatly. She's got all that she needs to know to be a great success!
"Too political" for whom!
