No, please. Go ahead. I’d be very willing to hear your non-soundbite positive analysis of Palin’s prowess.

I’ll pass on the Palin comparison, as it will take me a long time to retrieve my jaw. I’m almost not sure whether you are trying to be funny.

In any case, if you don’t like Obama, that’s fine. To dislike him because he doesn’t use soundbites is your right too, though I find it strange to be outraged about it.

That he likes larger government is his ideology. He was elected partly on that premise. To be outraged about that seems somewhat odd as well. Basically you are just saying that anyone who is not a Ron Paul libertarian outrages you. Which stretches “being outraged” a bit thin, if you ask me.

And she’ll say anything, often with a very loose grasp on truth. Every politician spins, but Sarah fabricates on items big and small at a rate that is difficult to keep up with. Her book has has the living s**t fact-checked out of it too.

Her tenure as mayor was marked by a monumental foul-up in the building of a sports arena (building on land the town didn’t own!), and Wasilla is STILL tied up in court and burdened under the debt she left behind. She accomplished nothing much as governor, and her supposed crowing achievement of the pipeline deal has been torn to shreds by people looking at the actual facts.

Her minimal record is actually so bad, she’s less than a nothing. She’s demonstrably a screw up.

True. My outrage is never objective, but neither is it partisan. I’m an independent, socially liberal, fiscally conservative daughter of a a long line of vets and more importantly, I am a mother who cherishes her sons’ freedom above all else. And I realize the bigger the government, the smaller their role will be in their own destiny. Obama’s core belief is that people are stupid and need government to solve their problems, Palin (and those like her) believe people for the most part can handle their own lives and government serves and important but limited role.

I dislike Obama immensely. He can speak for twenty minutes and say nothing. Palin will speak succinctly and get her point across. For example the line about Pakistan and India. Some would call it simplistic. Of course it’s simplistic. Why is that a problem? Obama, attempting to make the same point, would go on and on with his typical, “There are those who would say blah, blah, blah…” (ad naseum), but not before blaming America for her part in the conflict. He’s become a predictable embarrasment.

That’s all I’ve got for now. Gotta go.
