[QUOTE]Originally posted by bdgee: [QB] Lets try to be honest and rational about this person. She has absolutely NO experience that would qualify her to be president. Moreover, looking at her history, her administrative efforts are dominated by the crudest sort of cronyism, senseless vendettas, and abuse of trust. Everywhere you might choose to look, almost everything she says is packed with lies and deceit, from the absurdity of her claim to be able to "see Russia from my porch", to claiming to be the force that stopped the republican boondoggle of the "Bridge to Nowhere" or firing a state official who failed to fire an enemy in her private life after being urged to so by her. Wasilla Alaska lies approximately 600 miles from the nearest point of Russia, which is, due to the curvature of the earth, about ten times the the absolute maximum possible distance one could see anything. (Still, no doubt, the average republican's backward narrow mind can't put together that impossibility.) The "Bridge to Nowhere" began as an earmark by indited republican Senator Ted Stevens (I don't know who first requested that he do so) and was thereafter championed repeatedly by Congressional republicans and by Palin, who spoke to that effect often and loudly. Even after the "Bridge to Nowhere" program was stopped in a democratic congress, Governor Palin refused to return the money for it to the Federal Government, spending it instead on a not essential and near private road from Anchorage to her home. (I wish I could get the feds to finance a new driveway for my house!) Palin quite rightly never claimed to have participated in the prevention of or to have stopped the "Bridge to Nowhere" prior to being named by McCain, because no effort on her part was directed at that program other than to champion it, which she did enthusiastically and repeatedly. Why does she now believe she can get away with the lie wherein she claims "I told Congress no on that "Bridge to Nowhere"". SHE DID NO SUCH THING! During my sister's divorce, there were all manner of claims and counter claims describing the other one as cruel and dangerous and subhuman and so on and on and on and on . . . as is the case in almost any divorce. Eventually, the divorce was granted and all those demeaning and ego protecting accusations that serve to make the individuals believe they have excuses to overcome the stain of failing at marriage were soon left to wither in time. (Yes, from time to time my sister, when someone asserts that divorce is a sin or is a mark of failure, she resorts to recalling one or two of the once needed ego protections, but it is soon left again to rot and life goes on.) It was time for Palin to cease the attitude of protecting a sister in a divorce to end a rotten marriage as soon as the divorce was granted. When she refused and made her vendetta become an activity of chief executive of first the City, then the State, with all the force of that position, she went way over the line of what is acceptable in an official of the Government. Overall and constantly, Palin has displayed a personal character that is totally unsuitable for any person holding any position with any level of governmental authority in this land. She has violated the most fundamental rules of such a governmental position: (1) authority and responsibility cannot be separated, neither may be allowed exists without the other and (2) the people must be provided with the truth.
