Yes, even though I don't believe we should live in a churchstate, I do have faith that my politically undecided brothers and sisters aren't superficial, shallow, narrow-minded, simple-minded, fanatics who would vote for John McCain just because he selected Sarah Palin as his VP. Obviously, John McCain believes the American people are a bunch of disempowered barefoot and pregnant pro-life soccer moms who will build the McCain station wagon and drive him straight into the White House.
Here are the facts:
-Palin has served just two years as Governor of Alaska, a state that's politically and socially inconsequential unless we're having a conversation about drilling for oil and eskimos. Sorry Alaskans, but I live in L.A, so I think the world starts in New York and ends here (and that's only because they're 3 hours ahead).
-Alaska is only .2% of the population of the United States. Somehow, I'm not quite sure governing Alaska and holding office of the Vice President are quite the same (numbers wise, of course)
-Blacks only make up about 3.7% and Latinos only make up about 5.4% of Alaska. I can't really say too much about this because I know that black and brown folks aren't too much into water and cold like that sooo..moving on. (Though, if the UC system was in Alaska, we'd be all to the good ...numbers wise, of course)
- Sarah Palin is a woman. Palin is a woman with very little politcal experience. Paris Hilton is a woman. Paris Hilton was featured in a political commercial for the Republicans and in response made a PSA announcement that concluded with, "See you at the White House." Paris Hilton is clearly more ready for this job than Sarah Palin.
- Even Heidi Montag thinks she's ready for the job at this point.
Bottom line: If John McCain thinks angry and embittered Hillary supporters are going to vote for his sexist ass simply because he selected some former beauty queen pageant contestant with a son going to Iraq and a toddler with down-syndrom, then he must think Hillary supporters are just as simple and ignorant as he is. If John McCain's sexist ass (I know I've said it before, but that's what this is) thinks that Michelle Obama's presence on the Obama campaign trail wasn't enough to convey that women can be strong politically, then he's utterly trippin' (for lack of a better word). If John McCain isn't viewed as a senial old sexist fart who just handed the Dems the Presidential nomination at the end of the Republican convention, then perhaps he was right about the American public. Perhaps I'm goin' to the motherland with Crown Royale on Ice.

"Paris Hilton is clearly more ready for this job than Sarah Palin."--LMAO! So true!
Do the republicans think women are so stupid and ignorant that we would just vote for him and his female running mate because she's a woman? Really? Are we so stupid that we would ignore the important issues of the election so that there would be a woman in the white house? An inexperienced woman at that? This is sooo frustrating to me! Shouldn't a potential VP be chosen based on their ability to do the job well instead of their ability to gain some pathetic votes?
By the way, what are all the republicans that said "I'll never vote for a woman" going to do now? McCain is quite old, and if he is somehow elected president and dies in office, this Palin nobody would be the president...I wonder if the republicans thought about that?
As someone pointed out to me, John McCain looks like Skeletor from He-Man. LMAO. His choice for VP seems to work from a Republican standpoint as it seems his hope is to capture the voters that Barack Obama is attempting to capture. I speak of course of the female vote in which many do not choose to vote for Obama mainly because they are salty (bitter) because she didn't win the nomination. IMO anyway....SMH @ John (Skeletor) McCain.
