So Long Sarah

Sarah Palin doesn't look well. The media scrambles for a reason for her leaving office. Just look at her, the lady looks sick. Maybe it's just the stress from the buddy up with McCain or becoming a national joke but the girl looks skinny, scruffy and a little bruised. Maybe its just because she had to return all the designer wear supplied by the Republican party.

She's not an answer for the republican party, just the husk of a desperation move made by John McCain's always ill informed campaign staff. The GOP needs another Lincoln, not a clueless dolly from the backwoods or another social conservative tooting the old family values horn. Quit digging up Reagan's old bones, put a sock in Cheney and stop trying to put new shine on old failure. There's no need to apologize, just work on a new act and sing a happy tune.

Republicans have to transmogrify into an inclusive cadre. The nation lacks enough dumb folk to sustain a philosophy of exclusivity, corporate greed and lily white values. Too many have been caught with their pants down and being the party of NO goes nowhere. Either go Tory or embrace the world. Liberal democrats have just as big a bucket of lies. Why not parse your conservatism to include happy campers? Fundamentalism has fizzled, our culture of greed has been exposed and no one is again willing or able to follow the path of fear.

Barak Obama's failing is that he expects that government can promote change. Change happens at the ground level, the citizenry always decides. We chose him.

Yes, lady Sarah is either sick or stupid. I wish her well, the best of health and a glimmer of wisdom. She needs to get back to the woods, do some fishing and hunting and spend quality time with the family. Live the simple life she espouses, forget celebrity, quit chasing perks and payola. Do a fade to black or with her maybe a white out.
