The Palin Illogic

You know, the more everybody (around here in NYC vicinity) likes to come down hard on Sarah Palin as:

1) not a woman
2) a backwoods rube
3) a panderer
4) an idiot
5) unfit/inexperienced to be president
6) a Barbie Doll
7) a bad mother for running at all
8) etc.

the more I like her. She may be any one of those things, but frankly, so are 99.9% of the people in government, including most particularly, our new president-elect (although he's Ken, not Barbie). She is the type of person who runs for office.

Why her experience was ever an issue when we just elected a complete novice is another hypocritical argument from democrats. Obama has been a senator for four years, two of which were spent campaigning. Palin has run a state, albeit small, for two years. What's the difference? And why her quality as a mother was ever an issue is beyond me -- so Obama isn't a bad father for exposing his children to the campaign trail and now the presidency? To hear this rubbish from woman is crazy.

Just goes to show, once again, how democrats think. When I do it, it's OK. When you do it, it's wrong. When I elect a black president, I'm right, when you have black cabinet members, they're just "house slaves" as I heard Powell and Rice referred to once.

Once again, with feeling: I want to believe. I really do. But it's hard.
