Democratic Reality Check: They Won't Beat Down Palin, They Won't Defeat the Republicans

If the left-wingers in the U.S. are going to take on vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, they are going to have to do a better job than they are doing because Palin is beating them at their own game in a subtle kind of way. She's good.

I have paid a enough attention to U.S. presidential election campaigns over the years to know that "high school" and "soap opera" tactics we are seeing from democratic side (with the help of the media of course) and what the very immature far left nutcases are saying on websites and radio talk shows about Palin, are not going to help get Barack Obama elected. As far as I'm concerned, the tactics and strategies the Dems and the far left nutcases are employing are ineffective, nonsensical and last but certainly not least immature.

Rational and more mature Democratic Party members know what I'm talking about, but they're afraid to break ranks and speak up because of their fear of upsetting their financial benefactors, including moveon.org.

Those same Democrats know Obama and Senator Joseph Biden don't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning the election, but they will toe the party line because as I said, they're afraid of upsetting party benefactors.

What critics of Palin also fail to recognize is that Sarah Palin isn't in the running for a "Parent of the Year" award (not that she couldn't win one), nor is she on the ticket to make friends with "movers and shakers" in Washington, she is running to become an advocate for the American people, and to take America and government into the future, a new direction.

How dare people on both sides of political spectrum suggest that in order for Palin to be an effective and efficient vice president her family will suffer. In the world I live in a family that loves and supports one another the way the Palin family loves and supports one another won't have such a problem, and for anybody to make that assumption they would have to be out of touch with family values.

Every liberal and conservative family in the United States has it's ups and downs, trials and tribulations, and a plethora of other personal issues, but at the end of the day love and support of a family always prevails, and I challenge anybody to dispute that the Palin family isn't a loving and supportive family, or that they will suffer because Palin is the vice president. It's shallow thinking to think that she cannot be a mother and vice president at the same time.

That said, why isn't the same being said about Obama being unable to fulfill his familial duties?

How is he going to find the time to help run the country and help raise his children at the same time, and why aren't the same people who are questioning Palin's ability to help raise her family while she is vice president asking the same of Obama?

The suggestion that Palin lacks the political experience, acumen if you will, is a crock too.

The left wing is wasting their breathe with that criticism because as most Americans know, she has more executive experience than Biden and Obama combined.

She was mayor of the town she was born and raised in, a glorified community planner if you will, and of course the icing on the cake is the fact that she has been Alaska's governor for the past year-and-a-half. How much "executive" experience do Biden and Obama have again? Nada, zero, zilch.

As for her lack of experience when it comes to foreign policy and U.S. affairs abroad...Spare me already. Her lack of experience in matters of international interests for Americans is compensated by the very capable Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who as I said before will be retained by President John McCain.

I understand that at the end of the day it's about McCain vs. Obama, but what the media and left-wing loons are saying about Palin has nothing to do with McCain vs. Obama, and I think the mudslinging and personal attacks on Palin's personal life and her political abilities is a distraction to things that matter, the parties respective election platforms.

That is what should matter to Americans voters, not that Palin's husband was charged with a DUI offence twenty some odd years ago, or that her 17-year-old is 5 months pregnant, or that she wears $500 shoes.

It shouldn't matter that she hunts, or whether or not she is pro-life, but as far as the latter goes at least she is able to take a stand on the abortion issue, something Obama won't do because that's above his pay scale.

At the end of the day, the Democrats better pull their heads out of their butts if they are going to effectively challenge the Republican ticket, and if they can't, or are not willing to do that, then they should install windows in their navels so they can see where the are headed, defeat.

Right now, the way I see it from the outside looking in, John Kerry has a better chance of winning the Whitehouse for the Democrats than Obama does.
