Power Hungry Palin??

Well today is the aftermath of last nights much anticipated Vice Presidential debate. Listening to all the pundits this morning come out and praising Sarah Palin for yet another " knock out of the park" performance, as a person who intensely followed it, I didn't see how that was a home run so to speak. Most of the questions that the moderator asked were in essence deflected, dodging at the hip, and getting back to her "strong points" energy. A constant stare directly into the camera made Gov. Palin appear to be more of a "contestant" than a candidate. Most of her answers appeared to be "pre-determined" as is if she was over coached while being sequestered in Arizona leading up to this debate. Yes, there were significant blunders, but for some odd reason these are not making it in the lime light of media coverage. For starters, on the issue of Afghanistan, Gov. Palin got the commander for The Afghan conflict wrong. Palin twice called him McClellan, when in fact his name is General McKiernan. Maybe she should have been sequestered just alittle longer, because the fact that Gen. McKiernan said the ideals for a surge, like the in Iraq, would not succeed in Afghanistan. I Quote: "There is no magic number of soldiers that are needed on the ground to win this campaign, What we need is security of the people. We need governance. We need reconstruction and development". End Quote.
For such an important issue, you'd think the VP candidate would not get these facts dead wrong.

For those looking for "news-worthy" events that transpired in this debate I believe the most crucial, and most outrageous claim came from Sarah Palin herself. She laid a bombshell that she did not oppose the Vice President receiving more power when overseeing the Senate. This is the claim that should be receiving much more coverage than currently is! This claim is in direct contrast to what the Republican Party is all about! The ideas of the Republican party is to make the government "smaller" and have less of an impact on every day life for all Americans. The evidence is more than obvious as to who Sarah Palin was being coached by, reps from Dick Cheney. Its a fact that Dick Cheney is the most powerful and influential VP in recent history, this can be seen with the torture of prisoners, government only getting bigger and more influential in Americans lives, and over elaborate executive cover-ups with the leaking of secret CIA agents identities. And now Sarah Palin wants more power? I do hope I'm not the only one who will question this, yet another "stunt" on behalf of a quickly weakening Republican party that is loosing its appeal in the eyes of majority of Americans. Not to mention that fact of putting even more power in the hands of a woman who was all but unknown in the eyes of America before McCain picked her after one meeting with his aides. This is a virtual "red flag" that should be raised in minds of every American, this is exactly what is wrong the government ideals ever darkening the future of this country.

When John McCain says on his stumps that the "greed and corruption that runs Washington" is what is bringing the economy and this country down, he should really take a look at his own party and even worse, his own Vice Presidential pick. No wonder why McCain cannot wait to introduce Palin to Washington, because then the continuing take over and ever increasing power can continue. So, can Americans now truly say McCain and Palin are far different than George Bush and Dick Cheney, the awnser is an astounding NO. Both pairs are power hungry bureaucrats, under taxing the wealthy, and catering to big oil companies so thier own pockets can grow even more.

Well with this claim that seemed to fly over the heads of almost eveyone that watched last night debate, this can only mean one very important thing. The Republicans want more, a limited experienced supposed energy guru wants to change the US Constitution of the United States. What is wrong with this picture, I can only hope that the American people are not that "brain washed" due to pathetic leadership we've had to endure the last eight years. Keep this one last statement in mind people, More power is grounds for more problems.
