Ten Things That The American People Must Know About Sarah "The Cowardly Lion With Lipstick" Palin Before November 4th
1) Who the hell is Sarah Palin? Other than a lot of over-hyped and over-embellished fluff about her personal life, the American people really have no idea who the hell this woman is. One, I am troubled about her educational history, if Barack Obama's ivy league education makes him an elitist, then what does Sarah Palin's "six colleges in five years to earn one degree" education say about her?
Does she still think Senator Hillary Clinton was "whining" during her Presidential campaign bid? Does she really believe that community activists don't have "real responsibilities"? Does she really believe in banning books? Does she really believe that polar bears are not an endangered species and that global warming is not man-made? Does she believe in birth control?
2) What are her views and experience on foreign policy and national security? Other than the fact that Alaska is the closest U.S. state to Russia and her belief that God supports the war in Iraq, I have no idea what her knowledge is on these issues. It would have been nice to know her knowledge and views before the McCain "foreign policy" boot camp she is currently under-going, but something is better than nothing.
3) What are her views on the U.S. economy? Other than lying about selling planes for a profit on eBay and pretending to engage in economic reform while begging for legislative earmarks, I don't have any idea that she understands anything about the current economic crisis the United States is in or how to help fix it.
4) The truth about Troopergate. If Palin abused her power as Governor, particularly for personal gain, then the American people must know. I really find it particularly troubling her efforts to avoid the investigation and the McCain campaign's efforts to delay the investigation.
5) What exactly are Governor Palin's views on civil rights and equality for minorities, women, and gays? What is her legislative record on issues affecting these groups? We already know that she is an anti-abortion extremist, but does she believe in equal pay for women. She apparently has gay friends, but doesn't believe in equal rights for those same friends and she also thinks they can be cured of being gay with prayer. And since she has yet to utter one word about people of color other than to say that her husband is part-Eskimo, I don't know if she even knows any people of color.
6) Does Palin believe in and support the words, ideas, and values articulated by her Pastor Larry Kroon? Considering the heat Barack Obama took over his former pastor, Reverend Wright, I am very curious that Palin explain if she supports the "extremist" and "militant" views of her own pastor.
7) What exactly is her relationship and history with criminally indicted Senator Ted Stevens? Palin claims to be a political reformer, but she has been thick as thieves with Stevens for a very long time.
8) How well does Palin work with others and what are her views on working with people who hold different ideas and views than herself? Considering that she has a history of firing or ignoring people who have different views than hers, how in the hell is going to work with Democrats or leaders from different nations? Is she only going to hire Republicans and yes people to work with her if elected? Is she not going to talk to the press because they might ask her tough questions? Can the American people expect to only hear pre-scripted speeches where she talks at us instead of responding to questions from us?
9) What does Palin know about lives of people who live in major, metropolitan, urban cities? Most of the American people live in large urban cities, with poor economies with high employment, high crime rates, struggling educational systems, and failing housing markets. Palin doesn't see to know any people like this and seems to have very little experience with travelling and visiting these areas in her career.
10) Is she really ready to be President? I'm sorry, but McCain is 72 and not in the best health. This is a dangerous situation. Does she have the character, intelligence, experience, and talent to lead this country? I don't know and that scares me.
