NastyMcT : Alaskan Blogger

Here goes.

I knew a blood bath would ensue as soon as she was picked. While I have little faith in the political system, in fact anyone that knows me, knows I’ve basically checked out. I don’t sit around all day keeping track of who is saying what, dancing with who, praying with whomever etc.

That being said. I live in Wasilla Alaska. I’ve lived here for almost three years, and in the state of Alaska off and on since 1997. While I haven’t followed her career to a T, I’m planning on researching it much more in the coming days and weeks, and giving you a true Wasilla Alaskan perspective.

What I can tell you is this. I don’t agree with every decision she’s made. I truly believe it would be difficult to have a leader of any kind that you would follow blindly, and worship on every decision. What I can tell you, and I mean this in the most feminine sense, is that Sarah Palin has F’ING BALLS. In a good way. I believe she genuinely takes a situation, and tries to do the best for the MAJORITY, NOT THE MINORITY and special interest groups.

I can tell you that I’m working in a place, where we have sniveling sneaky shitheads trying to call and pretend they’re people they’re not, to get private information about the Palin’s, due to the international attention, and it makes me sick. We actually had a meeting and were given a script for christ sakes, on the protocol to follow if we’re approached by any type of media, phone, news, or on the street.

I understand being nominated for VP is a big deal. I understand our state is probably completely wire tapped, and crawling with secret service now, and I have no doubt that personal records if they haven’t already, will be locked away.

My point is, as I sit here very tired, and droning on, is that while I do not buy into the whole right left paradigm, and I’m not a bru ha Sarah fan. I think she’s a brilliant and strong woman, and if she stays on the right track, and doesn’t BECOME one of the good ole boys she’s fought against in the past, she’s got great potential. I’ll say it right now, SHE COULD EASILY HANDLE THE PRESIDENCY.

I have no faith in the political system as it stands. I think it’s corrupt. I think it’s bought and paid for. I’m just hoping Sarah’s not. And she can restore a grain of hope in my political compass.

In the prelim’s I jumped the fence, and voted for Ron Paul. I’m still undecided. But I will do my best to bring you insider info on Palin.

I think the fix is in on the election, and I think no matter who we all vote for, McCain will probably get it.

Sarah did a lot of good things for Wasilla. I will say one thing of sick of hearing, is how UNDERqualified she is. Please, give me a break. Maybe that’s exactly what we need. Not that the VP has any power. But what great experience it will give her. I just pray she’s not corrupted. And by the way, Alaska will sorely miss her when she’s gone.
