Sarah Palin GOP Distraction Bait don't Get Hooked

So it’s false that Palin has banned books from the Library when she was Major. Let`s break out the champagne and hand the Republicans The Grapes of Wrath for being on the side of truth for once. Fact is that she asked the Librarian if she would be agreeable to a ban of books and she said no. Why would Sarah Palin ask this question of the Librarian in the first place? Does she have problems with books? Doesn’t she realize that books are for reading, informing, expanding one’s outlook, stimulating the mind, providing enjoyment, teaching new and expanding on old concepts.

If Sarah Palin doesn’t believe in sex education in schools and she believes in abstinence, she should have looked for books on the subjects of her belief and have Bristol, her now pregnant teen, read them as a way of endorsing and enforcing her value system to her child. Perhaps, this would have helped her to comply because she would be more informed than simply being told to abstain.

Teenagers are finding their own identities and they love to do the opposite to what adults tell them to do. Preaching never works, you have to gain their confidence and be their friend, not their parent as they enter these adolescent years. If you are seen as one of the girls, then you will have their ear and hopefully their respect. It also helps to introduce certain books on their changing bodies, their sexuality and about their self-esteem as additional tools they can use to reinforce your guidance. Banning books is never a good idea – that’s as bad as the Nazis burning them.

It is extremely important for all those independent voters like myself to review everything, watch every video, focus on the issues of health care, taxes, jobs, safe troop withdrawal, equal pay for equal work for women and not be misled by the distraction in the Sarah Palin Reality Show. If you like me are familiar with fishing, this is bait so don't be a fish and get hooked because you could end up gutted on someone's table. For the simple-minded, this is figurative but in real terms you could end up bankrupt - think.

McCain's Pit Bull - Small Town Major Sarah Palin

If Sarah Palin cannot manage her own household that is only 5-kids strong, how will she be able to manage the complicated affairs of the greatest nation in the free world?

McCain was all talk about his experience and the lack of Obama's experience but now he picks Palin who has far less experience. Being the Governor of Alaska is very shallow, it's a State with a small population and where the biggest crisis is the fact that Palin is now under investigation for trying to get her brother-in-law fired from his job as a State Trooper.

What does this say about McCain's judgment? Is he competent to lead? It seems that he acts on a whim and jumps at anyone that opposes him that's why he pulled the interview with CNN because Campbell Brown asked the GOP Senior Adviser to McCain, Tucker to name an instance when Governor Palin exercised her executive experience as controller of the Alaskan National Guard. Tucker was stumped and couldn't answer the question.

It's too bad that Palin's 17-year old is pregnant but it seems that Palin has fallen victim of her own misguided teachings - abstain, no sex ed in schools, no abortion even in cases of incest or rape - what century are we in? Is she not concern about sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV-AIDS? Her rhetoric is as scary as McCain's decision-making is irresponsible.
