McCain & Palin

At first Sarah Palin’s accent came across to me as annoying, then when I thought of what’s really going on I became outraged…every day it became worse. First off, I find McCain to be an idiot for picking Sarah Palin as his running mate. McCain met with Palin only once before he elected her to be his vice president, he knew the other republicans that ran for president as very bright people with years of experience, just as him. McCain must have thought he was intelligent by picking a woman, because he’d receive Hillary Clinton’s support and win the race. I think if Clinton was not in the race, that McCain would have even considered Sarah Palin as the future vice president. Sarah Palin is the governor of Alaska, a house mother, supporter of pro-life (even if rape was involved), and pro-gun. She is completely not suited for office; it’s disgraceful to even think some one with so little experience and knowledge in the white house would be appointed to this ranking in office. (She had a very hard time explaining her feelings on war, the economy, and the future of the American people.) I find McCain picking Sarah Palin extremely degrading toward women, and that he only picked her so she could appeal to women across the nation ( though she is pro-life ). If McCain felt strongly about equality, and didn’t let politics corrupt him, he would have picked a running mate (perhaps Ron Paul, or Mike Huckabee) that actually knew what they wanted to do with the country, and knew how to do so. Above it all, for McCain to pick Palin shows he is not concerned about the countries future. He knows he’s old and not in great condition, and this lady, who has far from enough experience, could be a heart beat away (or McCain's heart beat!) from being the leader of the United States of America.
