SARAH PALIN’S SURPRISE

From being governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin jumped onto the world stardom after her nomination for the Vice-Presidency of the Republican Party. She was chosen by John McCain because she represented what the Republicans called themselves “the American moral value.” It was said that in the Republican Party Convention, Palin, in a “historic and electrifying speech,” showed bright intelligence and demonstrated her intellectual capacity and experience for becoming the Vice-President that the United States needs. While journalists were finding out who the unknown Sarah Palin really was, the Republican Party was celebrating her big success, also reflected in surveys that for the first time, during this campaign, showed the Republican over the Democratic.

As a consequence of the journalists’ inquiry, slowly emerged interesting things that put into question Palin’s virtuous life, her intellectual capacity and her experience to lead this country as Vice-President of the United States of America.

If we take into consideration the fact that Palin has a pregnant seventeen year old and a husband who has several drinking under the influence misdemeanors (DUI’s), it can be deduced that she has a dysfunctional family. In addition, all seems to indicate that she is involved in corruption cases. Taking into account what Palin has been saying, her intellectual capacity is poor. She “electrified” the audience at the Republican convention by talking about the family life routine. She has showed to be a naïve and religious fundamentalist woman at the political level: for instance, she said that Iraq’s war is a God’s task. Furthermore, Palin also demonstrated ignorance in politics and readiness to impose or promote irrational wars when she said that Russia invaded Georgia without any provocation and that she would declare the war in similar cases. To complete this negative picture, it was now discovered that she is a untruthful woman because she lied to the American people when she said that she had been in Iraq and Ireland.

The question is how a person with Palin’s characteristics, from one day to the next, became a world figure. The obvious answer is the mass media, which following a plan, previously designed by the Republicans, sublimated her family environment, idolized her moral values, over-valuated her intellectual capacity and converted an ordinary governor in a world’s celebrity.

I agree with you on everything. Sarah Palin might be a good mother and an excellent wife, but does not have the intellectual capacity to be a good Vice-President of the United States.
