I'm done with her

Well, I am not defending Sarah Palin anymore.  I have tried to be neutral.  I have suggested that if she did a good job the next 4 years in Alaska, that she might be a great Republican candidate.  But after her attacks this week, I am done.  When I hear interviews with people leaving her rallies saying they are "afraid" of Barack Obama, saying they were on the fence before, but now they are "terrified" if Obama elected.  More and more people are calling him a terrorist.  We've seen these changes on this board this week.

She's either an idiot, or she is content to lead with fear and further fracture our country.  If she believes that for a second that Obama has a terrorist agenda, she's a dummy.  I don't think she believes it, however.  I think she is just throwing out the insinuations, letting people connect the dots, and come to the most vicious of conclusions.   I've heard her lastest battle cry referred to as "red meat" speeches, where she is throwing raw meat to the savage dogs to work them into a frenzy, throwing chum in the water to stir up the sharks. 

I can take this kinda crap from Hannity or Rush or Savage or any of the others.  But she is trying to be the VP - NOTHING about her this week has been either Presidential or remotely classy.   Will she use this same language about world leaders?  Will she say the same about our Secretary of State when they meet with "unfriendly" leaders?  Did Colin Powell or Condy Rice "pal around with terrorists"?  They have certainly met with some of the most controversial leaders in the world. 

I won't defend her any more.  I will not, as a Republican woman myself, support her if chooses to run on '12.  I will leave her to the dogs and let them attack.  I am ready for REAL change, and this type of race baiting, this type of insulting, unpatriotic dialogue about a STANDING US SENATOR, is beyond insulting.  I'm disappointed in her, in myself for supporting her, and this morning, as I listened to part of her speech, I actually threw up in my mouth a little.  Her words, her tone, and the response she created was disgusting.  I am done with her.

Ironic is the nice of saying it. I call it hypocricy. To shout that Obama is like Hitler.....and he has no such record of inciting violence....and yet when Sara incites violence and stands by when her supporters call for the death of a senator....is simple hypocricy. I have been to quite a few Obama rallies (sadly I missed today's...stupid brakes)...as for once my state of Indiana is in play....lol. Never once have I heard such hate speech...never once have I heard anyone calling for McCain or Palin to die..never once has anyone shouted out they are terrorists. And I would bet that if such a thing occured...Obama would call whoever on it. When a canidate for office stands by and does NOTHING when a member of their rally shouts for the death of a running mate...that is beyond dirty politics. That is simply inciting violence...and silently condoning it. I have never seen such a thing..except perhaps at a David Duke rally.


For those who asked about it.....the Washington Post has a partial transript....but it is an editorial peice. YouTube has the videos of each such events

As I have said before.. the idea of her becoming President in the event of McCain's imminent death (you can see him get weaker every time he's in public) scares me more than either Presidential candidate. She is not this sweet girlish figure she likes to pretend to be. She's mean, condescending, and will stoop to any level to get to where she wants to be as evidenced by her lack of reaction to those calling for Obama's assassination and the racist shouts at an african american cameraman. She kept smiling that sick sneering smile.

I'm very sorry for the loss of your friend. My condolances. I dont think you are alone in your feelings about the country falling apart though. People deal with stress differently...some look for hope..a way out...answers..and some become angry...hateful and wish to harm others to make their fears less prominent.

I haven't seen much news this week thanks to some high stress stuff at work - but I am hearing tidbits of how they (mccain&palin) are attacking Obama like that - and I am totally turned off too.
