The Palin effect.

If any of you have read one or two of my blogs, it’s very likely that you know already my point of view about women. However, that doesn’t stop me to interpret some things concerning a particular woman that really disturb me. Sarah Palin, the Palin effect, as the mass media is calling it.

   Let’s start out with the lady’s background. First of all, a little less than two years as governor of Alaska…As far as I remember, McCain blasted Obama because of his allegedly lack of experience; so, what about his female partner? By the way, Alaska’s population is a lot less than Miami-Dade County (for you guys living in the Greater Miami), just to put in perspective her real “government experience”. Then, intellectually handicapped, although she studied journalism. Anyway, that’s how I call a person, unfortunately in this case a woman, that doesn’t know the Bush Doctrine (you know, the right of USA to invade a supposedly terrorist state and all that crap. Google it for more info). I know, a very large percentage of the common population doesn’t know about it, but the candidate for VP of the United States? Please! Charlie Gibson asked her about the Bush Doctrine and she didn’t have a clue. Really an embarrassing moment for her. What about her experience in the death or impossibility of McCain as a president, is she competent to lead this country? Remember that’s one of her responsibilities given the case. Well, her known experience apparently is as a Beauty contest winner or contestant and the fact that she’s fertile as hell (5 kids under her belt with 44 years of age).

   Politically speaking, it’s more than evident that McCain wants to oppose the breakthrough of a black candidate and the history he’s making with that. He wants to counterpart with a woman VP. However, if Obama would’ve taken Hillary as VP partner, would be the same scenario with McCain and Palin? And what about her interest in oil drilling? Very convenient for the republican candidate and their insatiable hunger for oil and the money and power that comes with it.

   The game is so obvious that it makes me laugh and cry at the same time, because I know the level of analysis of women and these politicians are trying to confuse everybody with a beautiful face and somehow a charismatic presence.

   I hope that women, as I know they can, will think, analyze and understand the stupid and in a way naïve move that the republican party did with the nomination of that beautiful lady that is totally useless and that is being used for the best interest of that particular party.

   I really feel offended because they’re trying to confuse all the women from this country, but you know what? I deeply feel they won’t succeed.
