I have Sarah Palin Fatigue Syndrome
After two weeks of hearing nothing on the Republican side but how she’s just a simple hockey mom, as American as apple pie, etc., etc., etc., and nothing from the Democratic side but is she/isn’t she a feminist arguments. I’ve read dozens of blog posts about how we should focus on her as a politician instead of as a person, but none that actually do discuss her as politician – nothing about her policies, nothing about her decisions as governor, nada.
It’s making me tired.
She made me furious when she was first selected, not only because her stances appear to be as opposite to mine as you can possibly get, but also because I firmly believe that 2 years as a governor of the least populous state in the country, preceded only by a tenure as mayor of a town of 9000 do not make her qualified to be vice president of the United States, especially VP behind a candidate in his seventies with a family history of heart disease and cancer. She could be president, and the idea is frankly terrifying.
But I’ve moved on. I’m ready to do everything I can to make sure she and Senator McCain are not elected. I just wish everyone else could move on along with me.
