If you were about to have major surgery, would you not inform yourself regarding what was about to happen to your body. Ask questions, read reports, listen to wise experts: doctors, surgeons, hospitals, insurance.
The election is upon us. Inform yourself America.
This Sarah Palin woman, gorgeous, lipstick besmirched, thingy; whatever, suffers grossly from an over productive ambition gland, an organ every politician needs to even step to the stage, but in her case the organ is diseased.
Palin, a candidate in obvious denial of her own shortcomings, suffers not only the aforementioned glandular dysfunction, but a hugely distended right-wing malformation already in-place. She, it seems, vulgar, and vapid internally, has become the ready patient of malicious, non-elected, campaign 'doctors' ...'strategists'. She, as a vice-presidential possibility managed by these shadowy operators, is clearly not worthy of the operation. I understand it is possible to swap some pig parts with humans, ears, maybe even a heart. But not this one, a bigoted heart can not be changed. And we, as humans, cannot fly on ambition alone.
The governor-patient, however, took to the planned restoration like a 'pig in a mud pie'--apparently there's a lot of mud in Alaska--she never blinked, (what kind of organic disconnect is that?).
Nor, in her case, can the damaged tissue be exchanged for a new healthy organ with improved potential, no matter the extent of hormonal treatment to stymie rejection.
She has installed herself, her heart, in a confined smelly place and her expressed mindset, George Wallace-like intentions, only add to the foul odor of racism, class hatred, and cultural divisiveness, and rots the tissue more.
No matter how she covers herself with cosmetics, no transplanted organ will ever give her wings, for now, she is stuck, (Dems take note).
Palin--and by way of the selection of her as his VP running mate, McCain--has chosen to be mired in the filth of hatred. With hate as her primary mantra she should never be allowed to represent our country. Never.
By transplanting Sarah Palin into the campaign the RNC thought they would give lift to a stalled flight. Wrong. The 'flight-organ' in this patient is decaying before their eyes.
Sarah Palin is forcing more die-hard Republicans to vote for Barack Obama than any tactic the DNC could have possibly conceived!
The recipient, in this metaphorical case, is also the organ. Palin, who supposedly represents the values of the McCain campaign, also represents a large segment of our population. Really? The McCain team's selection process tied to RNC power players, providing the rationale for this dangerous operation, selecting this candidate as a 'attractive' Vice Presidential insertion has become a travesty...no, it began as a travesty.
There are two kinds of the ambition hormone need to achieve success in politics: the good kind, like in, 'country first, me last', and the second, evil kind: self-embodiment, self-serving, egomaniacal, 'me always right, you always wrong', kind. Too much secretion of the latter here. It's obvious now, the organ chosen for transplant, is rotten, and the recipient is dying.
Good choice, John McCain and party buddies. Sarah P., not exactly the legacy you had in mind? Or, worse, much worse, maybe she is.
Our country has tripped and fallen on its face thanks to the mindless Bush/Cheney implementation of a faulty neocon master plan and the failure of a fear-ridden, weak-kneed, 'go-along-get-along', congress.
My fear here, however, is that the events we are experiencing now are the direct result of this secretive and conspiratorial-plagued administration, and is exactly what Cheney wanted. This awful comedy of horrors happened in slow motion chunks, took eight years to fall, the ending was foreshadowed, and here it is, a full blown, catastrophe. And it appears McCain/Palin aims to continue this patently wrong-headed approach.
Senator McCain, it appears, even in light of Bush's error upon error administration, that you are aiming America 'right' into the ugliest 'face-palm, tragic-comedy, clichéd, follow-up conceivable: Sarah Palin, is a twisted joke. And you and your cronies are looking more like slapstick clowns falling into a pool of mud and slinging it around? She's not even gorgeous anymore, instead here, a silk purse is shown to be a sow's ear. Thank you very much.
"Trust me, my friends. I know how to find terrorists, I know how to win wars," you assured. Trust you John McCain? After you constructed and dumped an ethical and moral train-wreck on us in Palin? You are hauling mud to a mudslide. Sarah Palin is a naive VP candidate that is a lightweight by any standard. As if the disaster of the past administration is not funny-sad enough for you, now you bring in an overload of misjudgment and hate-filled verbiage.
Trust you? Yeah, right. The operation to transform the patient into some kind of flying wonder, failed.

Where is Dick Cheney? Seriously, there hasn't been a peep from him since the economy tanked.*
What the hell happened the last eight years? Where WAS Cheney? Wasn't he suppose to be doing SOMETHING? Sshh, maybe he was...he just didn't want, YOU know, the citizenry, the 'little people', to find the details.
Did he care about anything other than perpetuating his own and his puppet's power position? No.
Ask him yourself. "Where are you, Dick? Hello, aren't you worried about us, the economy, the United States?
Dear Veep, aren't you worried that we might not think kindly of you and your cronies? Your legacy will probably be crap?
I'm sure his succint and informative answer would be something like: "So?"
'Transparency' in government? Sigh.
