So Palin continues to deride those areas and individuals who don’t vote Republican in the election, that they’re really anti-American. They’re traitors to their country, and they don’t really love god, the flag, or apple pie.

I was reading over a post by a blogger who was extolling how Palin will ride to the rescue in 2012. Why this soccer mom – the idea of a muggle deciding to get involved in politics is a nice idea, even up to the state legislature level – getting any real consideration. All she can do is evade answers to any real questions. She’s uneducated, uninformed, and dangerously so backwater that I wonder how she allows herself out of the house (her mentality is shades of women supposed to be barefoot and pregnant).

I suppose what pisses me off most about this election more than most is that the Republican’s only option is to come from a platform of fear. If you don’t vote for us, you’re a trator. If you don’t vote for us, you’re killing our children by encouraging terrorists to bomb the US. The lists goes on.

Big city people have an infinitely better sense of the bigger picture than yokels from backwater hamlets. But it’s just those small town, small minded people who are still clinging on to the idea that those WMDs are still out there in Iraq. All they know is their own backyard and care about the next PTA meeting. There’s nothing wrong with living in a small town, but really, don’t pretend to know about (or care about) things that go on in the world that happen beyond the county lines. Palin’s a great one to push for the new bake sale, but she has no business being on a national (let alone international) stage.
