Sarah Palin going away

Well the fourth of July had all sorts of fire works. Now we will loose Governor Palin in about two weeks, let all of us heave a collective: who cares!!! That's right who cares. Not that she should or should not resign, or that she has other ambitions; but we should not care about the resignation of a quasi Conservative, intellectual pygmy and a pawn in a larger more cynical campaign for President.

I say quasi Conservative because she does not know the meaning of the phrase. Conservatives hold on to values, mores and money (my opinion) all of which Sarah Pailin has naught. Her values are ultra religious which is dangerous as to the main stream of religious thought. The mores she shares are more tolerant (Bristol"s child and the abandonment of the father who after wanting to marry her decided or was not allowed to ) than those of the conservative movement. Finally she is well poor like the rest of us neither to the manor born, earned , or a person that used hypergamy (marrying up the social ladder) . No Sarah is quite plain and that is the crux of the matter! It is her plainness that should have been the guarantee of success in the political arena. Her average Joe attitudes would have been useful to the cause of the Republican party's key to victory. This is why she was chosen in the first place: however like Mondale's choice of Geraldine Ferraro it turned out just the obverse. Not only was she a bust outside the Party she was shown to be unprepared, foolish and unqualified, a disaster for anyone with ambitions for that level . Sadly, the handlers knew this but thought they could pull this deception off blunting the historic and trail blazing Barack Obama.

The choice of Pailin was cynical and racist. It was a throwback to the days when some whites believed a yellow dog (hence the name yellow dog south) would win elections. Those who handled McCain's campaign believed that it did not matter who was number two; all that mattered was that a man of color could not be elected over the status quo. Sarah was along for the ride and it was not a good one. McCain's loss was and has been blamed on her unpreparedness, her incompetence, her spending her lifestyle, all the attributes thought to be the answer to the country's problems did not help a flawed run for the presidency of this nation.

So now Sarah Palin resigns saying that the main stream media does not get it. That she has taking a beating from people out to "get her". That has enemies that will find all kinds of fault and will continue to disrupt her administration. All of the above might be true except the reason for her failure is a Michael Jackson would say is the woman in the mirror.

I feel for her in a small way. Not everyone gets a chance to serve their country at the highest of levels. Those that do have a great responsibility to do their best and greatest work. To strive to improve, increase and lead people into a better life and provide an example of the best America has to offer. Sarah Palin did not come close to this challenge and unfortunately she cannot. Not because of conservatism, value differences or educational background. No Sarah's sin is worse than this: she did not have it, never did and never will. She is the ordinary person much like all of us only she tried to fool the public and got caught. Wearing the emperors clothes can reveal too much...Later.
