Will Sarah Palin Be The Next President

First thing, you notice about Sarah Palin when she is asked a question regarding the world outside of Alaska is the confusion on her face. The woman would be out of her depth in a bathtub. However, she is a politician, and ignorance of the subject is no barrier to participation. After all, there is no law requiring one to be intelligent in order to run for office.

The electorate is looking for the girl or guy from next door to run things, as long as they talk the talk. No need to walk the walk. The people want change, that is what the press keeps telling us, but there is no real change, just a new face in the top job. For real change to happen you would have to change the system from capitalism to socialism (which they are doing right now) or communism or some other ism. Or just stop messing with the existing system and let it run it's natural course.

Capitalism in its rawest form is like nature, the strong survive and the weak die. People who make dumb decisions go bankrupt; this clears away the mess and makes room for new growth. But the government won’t let this happen without a fight, they will destroy the dollar protecting the big bankers. The same bankers who thought that lending money to people who could not pay it back was a good idea. As the fat caveman said "you hunt, you gather and I'll run the economy".

Sarah Palin is rough at the edges and that adds to her attraction, I know many people who are tired of the well-dressed fast talking type of politician they turn out these days. However, in four years time they will have moulded her into their way of thinking. The first sign will be when the glasses are replaced by contact lenses.

Yes, she will get a second chance at the presidency; the woman wants to run again. We all know that she will be as good or bad as anybody else will. If you advertised the job, it would say.

President wanted no experience necessary.

High standards in high places is a noble statement, and most people expect high standards. Their tax dollars are paying for everything these professional politicians enjoy, but people become drunk with power. In addition, begin to think "what is the point in having power if you don't abuse it to your advantage", after all I am the president. Come to think of it, "what’s the point of having a standing army, let’s make use of it and start a war".

Problem with wars is they cost lives and money, lots of lives and lot and lots of money. However, you usually hear politicians complaining about the economic cost of war, not the human cost. Numbers, just numbers. These people do not have to fight the wars they start; to them it is just like a game. Like moving pieces across a chessboard, there is no need to worry about their sons or daughters dying in battle.
Make no mistake about it, the power over life and death really does boost their ego. Power is such a strange thing, at this moment in time the country does have the most powerful army on the planet. If the politicians had any sense they would be scared of this powerful army.

But then again, they way they are managing the economy there may be no money for bullets.

Ah, Sarah is not that bad after all, and everybody deserves a second chance.
