This is my first diary, but I have been on the site for sometime and are a loyal listener to Keith Olbermann and rachael maddow and huffington post. I can say that This diary, will be about wanting someone to pinch me. This election has gotten rediculous.
Ok, As I sit here honored to be a supporter and have donated to Obama/Biden. I am just as dishonored to listen to the republicans that are running this country and are trying desperatly to take the mantel of change from Obama. How dare they, this economy, this war, this housing crisis and this oil crisis is their doing and they have the audacity to say they are going to change washington! They are a party of cronism, they dont have a individual thought, and it is no more apparent than the descriptions of Sarah "hockey Mom" Palin. They have all apparently gotten the memo on her, as has Pat Buchanon. She has executive experience (more than Mccain, Obama, Biden and every other senator that has never been a govenor before), she is a mother of five, so she must be tough, she is close to russia and is in charge of the alaska national guard (but only really within the borders of alaska), she is a reformer that will go against the grain (unless it means more money in earmarks for her city), she is good on energy (as long as its drill, drill, kill some polar bears, and drill) and she is PRO LIFE! OR I like to call ANTI-CHOICE!
Dont they realize that they sound like they are all reading the same script? They have never, NEVER seen the people sooo excited before? Really? Seriously? for someone that was never vetted at all, and coming out in the washington post where they vetted her less than a week ago, yes less than a week from right now. This is the Maverick that Mccain is, is what they say, between clearing of their throats. But dont we already have one gunslinger president? look where that got us. I cant beleive my ears, I cant beleive my eyes and I just cant understand where are country is going with them at the helm. I mean seriously folks, someone please pinch me !
I agree with policy and opinions of most democrats, but im not in line with all policy, but what I cant understand is how republicans can sit back and ask us to vote for them, virtually by saying "trust me, we know what we are doing...this time at least" I cant stand by without saying something NO NO NO!
I pledge to go the extra yard to make sure that Obama is the president and Mccain/Palin is not.
And will please someone other than harold ford start pushing back on this executive experience and that she has way more experience than Obama, Ill take 12 years in state and US senate over less than 2 years as the gov. of a state with less than a million poeple, love how they call it the biggest state, square miles maybe! OH and thompson, im glad you woke up from you nap, you know the nap you took while in the senate and your presidential campaign that went no where but wasted poeples money, but there are over 10 presidents that had less experience than Obama and reagan was one of them.
Well to those of you that read this, thanks, i hope i did my first diary proud! Now if I could get Keith or Rachael to comment on this, that woudl be so sweet!
Good night and god help us all!
update!
I'm reading an article from October, 1996, in which a reporter named Laura Mitchell Harris asks Palin about her intentions for a shake up. How would she effectively run a city without experienced leaders? "It's not rocket science," Palin said, "It's $6 million and 53 employees."
