What Does Sarah Palin Stand For?

I have been wondering what, exactly, Sarah Palin stands for - what her platforms are in the race for the White House. I have yet to hear anything relevant. So far, she has spent an inordinate amount of time sequestered away by the McCain campaign, away from interviews and paparazzi, away from anyone who might unintentionally get a soundbite of the Governor. After the Katie Couric interviews, the press was relegated to a six-block distance from Palin, keeping her even more isolated and away from public scrutiny.

She has also canceled all her upcoming interviews after the Couric debacle.

Palin says she is against Big Oil, yet her husband works for the largest oil company in the world, BP, and she supports drilling in the ANWR area. So is she for or against Big Oil? There seems to be a conflict of interest here. She cannot possibly be against the company that pays her husband a seven figure income, and allows him to spend alot of time racing snowmobiles and hunting. Yet she keeps saying how much against Big Oil she is. Todd Palin enjoys a hefty paycheck from BP and perks galore, so that cannot be it. It's also known that if the drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Reserve happens, the Palin's stand to receive a substantial reward for allowing BP to be the first - and only - oil company to drill there.

So, is she against Big Oil - or for the sizable sum she will receive from Big Oil?

Palin says she is tolerant of gay rights, yet she has gone on record saying that gays and lesbians "... hide in the shadows that God abhors..." She was caught unawares during the debate and danced around the issue, finally declaring that she supports gay and lesbian couples sharing hospital visitation rights and benefits. That's it. In a Newsweek interview a couple weeks ago, she stated that "... gays, Jews and other demons will burn in an eternal fire upon the earth, while she and her family will be lifted toward the heavens to sing with God..." Disturbing, to say the least, especially since she believes that we are living in the time of the Book of Revelations. A hardcore religious fanatic that believes only those who do as she says will be rewarded in the eternal end, and all others will suffer the punishment of her vengeful and hateful God. Also, I read that she has a gay brother who is kept far, far away from her and her family, but for the first time ever, she referred to him during the debate, saying she loved him. That's it. Nothing more. I understand that her brother has been disowned by the Heath family and is not welcome in the Palin household.

So far, Sarah Palin has gone across this country bashing Barak Obama and saying little else. She has taken it as her task to make him look like a foreigner and to agitate racial prejudice and hatred by referring to him as Muslim (he is NOT), and constantly mentioning his unfortunate middle name of Hussein. In every televised appearance, she continues to berate the other candidates, yet never says where she stands on ANY position, except those mentioned above. What does she think of the economy other than McCain has a way to fix it? What about education? We all know she wants creationism taught in public schools, and that certain books should be banned, but what about the education of those less fortunate than her own children who live in a mansion and have a daddy that provides more than a million dollar income per year? We know how she feels about teen pregnancy - every child who is pregnant with a child must carry that child to term - NO MATTER WHAT! We know she is unethical - look at the unfolding of Troopergate, wherein she and her husband (who has no business running the state since he was not elected) pressured and then fired someone for not bowing to her whims. She claims to be about reform of bad government, yet she embodies that worst traits of that which she publicly claims to want to reform.

And then there's all the hate rhetoric - pointing to Obama as a foreigner and outsider since he is black and lived abroad for a portion of his life. She is intentionally trying to race-bait and incite xenophobia, but that is to be expected since she has little else to say. It is obvious that the McCain campaign is using her to say the disgusting, hate-filled things that McCain doesn't want to sully his own tongue with, making her look like a "regular American," spewing lies while dodging the important issue of what she really stands for.

I have come to the conclusion that she stands for herself. Sarah Palin. To get ahead in government, and show how detestable the Republicans can be. You're not a pitbull, Sarah - you're a lapdog, wagging your tail and doing all the tricks in public to garner favor for your master, the old dude who is near death, and his plastic Barbie wife. You have no agenda of your own until you are told what agenda to have by your white owner. You are a slave to your master. And by keeping sequestered and not being honest with the public, you are doing a great service to the Republican regime. Just like they wanted.

Sarah Palin is a shill - a sellout who thinks she is riding a magic carpet to the White House, along with her husband, First Dude, and her brood of Stepford children. Also, I wonder why she keeps posing for pictures with her family, using them for every photo-op while maintaining a moratorium on the press when talking about her family.

I guess that hefty check from BP will pay for the wedding of Bristol and her hot boyfriend (who has declared that he does NOT want to get married to this obvious whore).

Just one thing, Sarah. The American people, although intrigued by you in the beginning, have seen through you and discovered that you and your family are not like the rest of us. Your trip to the White House is hereby canceled. Your chances of getting in are slimmer by each passing day.

Good luck back in Moose Spit, Alaska.
