What is it with partisan America? When one side wants to award Sarah Palin a halo and the other side is busy grafting on two horns a tail. Even as a partisan democrat I have to find many things to admire about the Palin family, ordinary Americans, the daughters of two school teachers, some real reformist credibility, and somehow elevated from a small state Governor to a Vice Presidential pick overnight.
Maybe as a partisan democrat I should be dancing in the streets at the various scandals that have been uncovered regarding her pro life stance and the disconnect with her daughter. But as hard as I may try, I cannot summon up even an iota of hate against the Palin family. To hate them would be to hate America, and rightly or wrongly, John McCain could not have done a better job in picking his VP because she embodies some core GOP principles.
And in terms of a sort of a Charles Dickens, it was the best of times, it was the worse of times, I would hope the Sarah Palin story and debate can be healthy for America.
And God willing, as the year turns from 2008 to 2009, Bristol nee Palin will give birth to a new American citizen this country can all embrace.
Yeah, that's why I registered as an independent.
It's only rooting for sports teams for most people, and the fact is they are as dumb as most sports fans as well. Besides, I'd rather get the salad bar than order off the menu.
Maybe someday one of the parties will act reasonable. The Democrats are in better shape than the Republicans if they can keep to their principles. So far, not doing a good job of that.
