Even as the Republicans are binding their wounds they continue to let Sarah Palin take the forefront of their party. She spent the entire campaign bragging that she was a "Maverick" and had a record of going against the "Good 'ole boys" with a no nonsense approach that refused to accept the back room contributions and earmarks. Great.
So what does she do in the months AFTER losing the GOP VP position? She set up a PAC (Political Action Committee) for funds and insider influence! So I take it that she is now FOR them after she was against the business as usual backroom slush funds? The more things change the more they stay the samewith this Caribou Barbie.
It was always amusing that she claimed that the Ted Stevens supported "bridge to nowhere" was killed by her efforts even though the actual end to it was the result of a Congressional vote.That "I said thanks but no thanks to the bridge to nowhere" catchy slogan always rang hollow to the ears.
Yep, this Texas girl grew up with a politically active Mom and I met my first Senator as a pre-schooler so I know a "Good 'ol boy in lipstick and skirt" when I see one. The only difference is that the babies that she kisses were brought into this world by her instead of being handed to her by strangers.
She claims to be happy being the Governor of Alaska but she certainly seems to spend a lot of time setting up this Virgina based PAC and partying in DC as if her chief duty is that of Presidental Candidate in waiting. We shall see what she does for the state of Alaska in the coming years. Palin-tology will be a study to be observed. Welcome aboard the SS Sarah. We're headed for a bumpy flight.
