John McCain pulled a coup with the choice of Sarah Palin as his VP. So, now the conservatives are jumping with glee at the prospect of a win in Novermber. Don’t count your chickens before the eggs are hatched. The following is why I do think the McClain/Palin ticket will be a failure.
1. John McCain is making promises we have all heard before and have not been kept. He’s going to shake up Washington and get rid of pork. Yeah, right. I remember that promise from the candidates over the past 30 years and it has not been kept.
2. His defense policies are the same-old, same-old. The American public has grown weary of the past 20 years of war. We are tired of sending our sons and daughters off to foreign lands to die so some politician can inlate his resume.
3. Many conservatives do not like McCain and do not see him as a “true conservative” because of his views on certain issues.
4. Palin goes against many fundamentalist, evangelical religious views on the role of women in society. She is a mother working outside of the home who may have been so engrossed in her career that she failed to pay attention to the needs of her family. Thus, a young daughter having sex and getting pregnant. Maybe if Palin was around this might not have happened. Palin has no more qualifications to be vice president,
or president, than anyone else.
You conservatives should enjoy the moment to the utmost. On November 5, 2008 you will be very unhappy.
