McBush Convention Day Two The Palin Pastoral Problem, Earmarks, and Troopergate...Oh My
By Anthony Wade (about the author) Page 2 of 2 page(s)
But that is what we will see tonight; day two of the McBush Convention. You will hear more distortion and distraction as the big three will slam Obama as much as possible and try their best to not talk about the last eight years. They will wave the flag and talk up abortion; something they only seriously discuss during presidential elections. Then Hurricane Sarah will roll in to town. She will talk about reform, something she knows very little about. But she has to pretend because that is the talking point the GOP has come up with. They will try and turn her stint of being a Mayor of a town of 6,700 people into some vast “executive” experience. They will try and turn her brief run as Governor, despite the ongoing ethics investigation, as somehow trumping the resume of Barack Obama. They will sell you Palin as someone who took on the ole boys club in Alaska, even if it is not really true. They will portray her as supermom, despite her pregnant 17 year old daughter. They will avoid the problems with a Pastor who apparently uses the word of God for political reasons. They will avoid Troopergate and earmarks. In the end, the endless GOP minions will be positively GUSHING over the job she did and what a “fresh breath of air” Sarah Palin was tonight. They have to of course because they rolled the dice on her without properly vetting her. Now she is being properly vetted by the media and all they can do is cry crocodile tears and try to add “victim” to the bogus resume of Sarah Palin. It won’t matter however, as in the end all that will be left is Team McBush and their platform of four more years of the same. Palin is not a reformer as much as McCain is not a maverick. You can dress them up anyway you like but at the end of the day; the flash and talking points will be devoid of substance. It will be devoid of issues. Yesterday, McCain Campaign Manager Rick Davis said: "This election is not about issues," said Davis. "This election is about a composite view of what people take away from these candidates." No Rick, it’s not. This election is all about the issues. Davis and Team McBush need it to be about the “composite view” of the candidates because they know full well at the end of the day they lose if it is about the issues. They lose if it is about the economy, torture, or the war. They lose, so tonight they try to enhance that composite view of Sarah Palin and hope that people simply believe what they say instead of what they are starting find out about the empty suit vice presidential candidate that they should have vetted more thoroughly. As McCain’s hero George Bush once quipped… don’t be fooled again.
