The Palin-drome Horror Show


Last night's RNC introduction of Alaska Go. Sarah Palin was little more than a crude, divisive horror show. Nothing was to be learned about who this woman really is. What was learned was that she is rude, crude and Dick Cheney in a dress. You can't put lipstick on a pig and call it pretty.

The lies were craptaculor and the mockery of community organizers classless. She did support the bridge to nowhere until it became a national laughing stock. She did leave Wasilla millions in debt after her tenure as mayor. And she is under investigation in Alaska for abuse of power.

The trashing of community organizers told me all I needed to know about Sarah Palin - she doesn't have a clue what they actually do nor who they really are. Community organizers are people on the ground that work every day to help the disadvantaged regardless of how they became that way . Her fundamental lack of understanding of this was astounding. While telling the world that she would help Americans she trashed those that are doing that work daily. Let me tell Sarah who some of the community organizers are:

The PTA: they are all about community in getting parents involved in their children's educational process

Local churches: They run food banks, clothing shops and job preparedness centers



Meals on Wheels: They insure people, mostly home bound elderly, receive proper nutrition



Habitat for Humanity: Getting the community and the future homeowner involved in building a safe place to live. Funny how John McCain canceled his photo op with Minnesota's Habitat for Humanity House site after Palin's speech.



The Salvation Army: They raise money and run clothing sites,food sites and shelters for the disadvantaged with the help of volunteers.



The Red Cross: they run blood drives and step in around the world to assist in times of need again with the help of volunteers.



Abused Women's Shelters: they offer a safe place for women and their children and assist them in getting housing, food and legal assistance to escape their abusers.



Those are simply a few. There are many more. For what was a gathering of mainly older white privileged people, laughing and mocking those that help disadvantaged Americans that earlier in the week had to put on their "American Hats" to assist with the hurricane relief, we were shown the true disdain they have for any one different from them. No, the Republicans won't help the real working class make their lives better. Instead they will use them, as they did last night, as a political football. People need to ask themselves a serious question: "What have the Republicans really done to make your life better in the last years since they were in control?" The answer may surprise them.



Sarah Palin, for all her wailing of being Christian, should go back and re-read her bible. Jesus asked his followers to care for and serve the poor and disadvantaged, to take their interests to heart because they were to be the inheritors and to be rich in their faith. The Jesus she says she believes in was the original community organizer and Sarah Palin mocked and trashed him last night. She should be ashamed but sadly humility is not one of her traits.
