"More of the same."
I know Democrats were chanting that slogan alongside McCain's name last week, but it seems Palin fits right in as well. This "fiscal conservative" left her former small town of Wasilla with $20 million in debt to fund her hockey-mom pet project: an ice arena. Scarier still is that she used eminent domain to grab the land for the project from a private contractor, and the city later lost their eminent domain case in court.
Vetoing wind farms and clean coal? Tsk tsk.
We all know she's got a major ethics investigation underway because she abused her power to push her safety commissioner out of office. What people didn't know is that she's done it before, firing Wasilla's police chief and library director when she was mayor because they didn't support her re-election.
Even on simple things like "Under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance, Palin proves herself to be an airhead:
Corruption? She was heavily endorsed by Ted Stevens and Don Young, and she did support the bridge to nowhere before it became a political liability. But her corruption extends beyond that, blocking environmental protections for polar bears and salmon because it would endanger drilling and mining operations. We still haven't seen where the ticket stands on drilling in ANWR, since McCain opposes it but Palin supports it.
One nice thing about a delayed/shortened convention is less praise/celebration of Palin's coronation while the press gets more time to vet her.

Unfortunately Sarah, the founding fathers died almost two generations before Francis Bellamy wrote the Pledge in 1892, and "Under God" wasn't introduced until 1954. It's a grade school level response that illustrates her lack of knowledge of basic facts about our own country's history, but I think it just scratches the surface of how ignorant she is.
