Thanks for the post. The Dems were terrified of SP because many normal everyday people related to her. Because people who loved the idea of a woman in the white house (Hilary) might support her. So they blasted her, tried to destroy her. And they did a pretty fair job of it. I have no idea if she'd be able to be an effective president-a vocal gaff here and there says nothing-no different than a guitarist hitting a wrong note now and then-I'm sure none of us have done that. But she's not running for president-Obama is, and attacking SP because of a lack of experience while your candidate is Obama is silly. If he wins, Obama will make parts of the country, and the rest of the world, feel good about themselves, and that's part of what a president should do. The rest of what he wants to do may not make people who actually earn a living feel so good. No matter who wins- Fasten your seat belts-it's going to be a rough landing me thinks. quote:
ORIGINAL: alaskaal Some random thoughts on Alaska/America, please forgive... I remember standing at the pier in Seattle and some woman talking with her partner, pointing out Bainbridge Island and saying, "You see that land over there? That is Alaska." Americans are not afraid to act out on their ignorance. If you put the tip of the Aleutians on the Baja of California, the rest of the State of Alaska would cover most of the rest of the Continental US. I have seen Russia from Alaska. I have lived in Russia. I know Sarah and Todd personally, they are really being ill treated by people whose agenda they do not fit. They are really nice people. Imagine waking up the next day with your picture plastered all over every magazine and tabloid available. You have an interview with Katie Couric at 0700 tomorrow morning, please BE SHARP. What I miss in America is the era when we could disagree without hatred. When we really could work together in a non-partisan way. When I could ask a question of a politician and not have some kind of private investigation set off to ruin me or my credibility. I am really growing afraid of speaking out because of the hatred coming from both sides. Sorry if I have offended anyone. Everyone seems to be offended by almost nothing these days. On topic conversation, How about that Lester DeVoe, can he build a guitar or what? Al
