In case you haven’t heard, John McCain has chosen his vice presidential pick. Is it Mike Huckabee? Nope. Mitt Romney? Nuh-uh.
It was Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin. Yeah, I’ve never heard of her either.
But apparently, McCain thinks she’s going to be a great asset to his team. God knows why.
Here’s a rundown on Governor Palin:
So what the hell was McCain thinking? Was it that he’ll get women’s votes? Because I’m offended that he thinks women are stupid enough to fall for this. And Hillary Clinton’s female supporters sure aren’t going to switch their vote to someone so far right of Clinton. Second, McCain is old.
Really old. And if he dies in office, she will be our president. She, who has no experience in Washington at all, will be our President. *shudder* Third, John McCain is a hyprocrite. How often have we heard the argument that we should vote for McCain because Barak Obama is inexperienced? Fourth, Biden will undoubtedly win the debates.
But on the other hand, John McCain may very well have given the election to the Democrats. In that case, yay! for Sarah Palin.
Update: According to FOX News (I never thought I’d be citing them for actual information), “The state of Alaska will sue to challenge the recent listing of polar bears as a threatened species, Gov. Sarah Palin announced Wednesday.” Screw the polar bears, right? I guess if you acknowledge polar bears are threatened you can’t really deny global warming.
Another Update: It’s impossible to find her views on a lot of issues. Due to people like me trying to find out who Sarah Palin is, her website is unavailable, so I decided to try the site On The Issues. There’s no information about her position on foreign policy, drugs, immigration or jobs. So not only did John McCain choose someone who has zero experience, but he picked someone that, as far as I can see, doesn’t have many opinions either.
