John "Out of Touch" McCain, in an act of desperation, has selected Sarah "PP"(Perpetually Pregnant - ya' gotta do something on those long, boring dark nights and days in Alaska) Palin as his choice for Vice President.
At McCain's age, Palin is only half a heartbeat away from the Presidency. When McCain kicks the bucket after being exhausted by the first month of presidential duties, Palin is not ready to step into the Presidency.
McCain's dogged attempts to blast Obama's inexperience and not being ready for the Presi
dency are now a reality in his selection of Sarah Palin.
Palin doesn't really seem to know what the V.P. position entails. In an interview last summer with CNBC when asked if she was qualified to be McCain's running mate, Palin responded,
"I'll tell you, I still can't answer that question until someone answers for me what it is exactly that the V.P. does everyday? We want to make sure that the V.P. slot would be a fruitful position especially for Alaskans and the things we're trying to accomplish up here for the rest of the U.S.".Palin has no experience of any state, regional, national or international scope that would qualify her for the Vice
-Presidency let alone the Presidency. She has under two years of basically part-time experience as governor in a state with a mere 670,000 people who reside at an astounding density of 1.1 people per square mile. According to the 2006 U.S. Census, there are 55 American cities with greater populations. As mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, Palin governed a village of about 8,400!
Alaska's major contributions to society? Big government and its spending come in at #2 just behind mining. For a party that prides itself on small government, Alaska and Palin are abysmal failures. Alaska ranks #1 in the U.S. in chlamydia, a sexually transmitted disease! Other major Alaska contributions to society include tourism, snow, alcoholism and depression. Retail provides the largest percentage of jobs...those high-paying ones.
In 2007, Palin signed into law, Alaska's largest budget ever at $6.6 billion dollars but at the same time drastically cut spending for infrastructure improvements such as road construction . A few months ago in response to Alas
kans facing higher gas prices, Palin proposed that every Alaskan receive a direct grant of $1,200 and has rescinded the state's gas tax.
Sarah Palin placed second in the Miss Alaska beauty pageant but received a scholarhip that helped put her through college where she majored in journalsim and minored in politics. She worked part-time as a sports reporter in a small town before becoming mayor of the booming 8,700 person metropolis of Wasilla, Alaska. Her husband works as a fisherman weather permitting and then switches to working for British Petroleum on the North Slope. Is he ever home to really parent his kids?
Palin is currently under investigation by the Alaska state legislature for abuse of power. She fired a State commissioner who refused to fire an Alaska State Trooper who is locked in custody battle with Palin's sister.
Palin says she has tried marijuana but didn't like it.Some have questioned how long she used before deciding she didn't like it. Though it was legal in Alaska, federal law prohibited its use. In California, the feds have raided and closed numerous clinics where marijuana is distributed by medical prescription.
McCain defines anyone earning under $5,000,000 a year as middle class. As governor, Palin's $83,000+ salary could theoretically put her squarely in McCain's non-existent poverty class though with her husband's wages from big oil and fishing, they might still be in McCain's middle class.
Palin and her husband have five children, Track, Trig (ger?), Piper, Bristol and Willow.
