I can't even understand how anyone would like Sarah Palin as a neighbor. She is so annoying. The lame jokes, the promises, the holier than thou attitude even though her situation is less than desirable. But as a politician? In a high power position no less? Why, America? Why? True, she is fashionable. True, she has a great set of legs. So put her in a beauty pageant... oh yeah. Been there, done that. Normally, fashion in very important to me. I think it says a lot, and is very needed in most situations, especially when it comes to gaining respect like politicians have to do. But just being fashionable does not give you the credentials to help run the country. Vogue, absolutely. But even the editor at fashion magazines need the education to run a corporation, which includes being in charge of the welfare of other people.
I didn't like her when she was running for vise president, but I like her even less as the spokesperson for the Tea Party, the most ridiculous political group ever invented, in my opinion. At least when she was campaigning in 2008, Tina Fey was able to do truly excellent impressions of her, which made her even more of a joke than she was. However, with the attention brought to her from the Tea Party, and her new reality show she might actually be able to damage. She is again talking about running for president in 2012, and please, America... Have the common sense not to even consider it. I know she looks like-able on her show. I know some TV and movie stars have been good for politics, our own governor, the Terminator, being a good example. Ronald Reagon, not so much. But thats another rant. But Sarah Palin? No. Snooki is hugely popular and on TV. Are we going to to consider her the perfect politician too?
Lets be real here. People like her because she is "the common American." What? The common American shoots moose, are governors and spends thousands of dollars on matching suits? And why is she so proud of being a hockey mom? Shouldn't she be more proud of being governor of Alaska? Not bringing attention to the fact that shes willing to step out of the most stressful job the country has to offer to watch her kids skate? I have also noticed that when most parents speak out against pre-marital sex their pregnant teenage daughter isn't standing next to them. But, she also doesn't believe in abortion, so I guess one sin and wrecking a couple kid's lives is better than two sins, right?
I understand that people want a president that comes from them, that understands their situations. Who knows what living in America really is, and what the best plan of action is, based on experience. But honestly? I don't want a leader who is on the same level as the idiots of America. I want someone better. Who is smarter, who has had to work harder. Better education, more knowledge of whats really going on behind closed doors in this government. I don't care if they don't speak the working class language as long as they know how to help the working class. So America, really. Don't look for yourself in the politicians. If you want that, run yourself. Look for someone who can help you better than you can help yourself. It seems so obvious.
