Overt sexism in the media has become evident. If B. Hussein Obama had put Hillary Clinton on his ticket, would this sexism still be evident? Arguably not, as Sarah Palin may not have been a consideration for John McCain. The irony of that entire political picture is that the analogy of putting lipstick on a pig wouldn’t have ever been raised although it would have been entirely more appropriate.
What has happened as the result of Obama forgoing the former first lady, who is as eminently unqualified as he, is the awakening of a sleeping giant. The millions of Americans who comprise the silent majority who are generally too busy with careers and families to pay much attention to politics are suddenly galvanizing behind one of their own.
Liberals are fit to be tied that the first lady to reach the White House may now be a female, which of course is for selfish reasons. In the teachings of left wing feminism the one valid theory is that radicalism is the quickest way to change. What they seem to forget is that conservatism tells people that it is acceptable to change.
Hillary Clinton is a prime example of what American’s don’t want; an Ivy league educated, narcissistic, power hungry, shrill socialist. She has negative ratings higher than her positive ratings driven in large part by her twisted ideology and shady past dealings. On the opposite end of the spectrum we have a hockey mom who went to a state university. She began her career in the PTA, then as mayor and finally as governor of the largest state in the nation. She is not shrill and clearly not in politics out of narcissistic necessity. She knows what it is like to balance the family budget because she has done it. She is one of us, a member of the sleeping giant silent majority. Liberals don’t get and it’s beginning to show in the polls.
Until Palin was added to the ticket this election was about more of the same, regardless of who won. John McCain has been a Washington insider for more than twenty years. Certainly Obama likes to claim that he is an outsider, but the reality is he chose a running mate who has been in Washington for longer than McCain. Making matters worse, Obama is a creation of the Chicago political machine which is arguably the only political enterprise in the nation that is more corrupt than Washington, D.C.
It was GOP vs. DNC talking points; do we surrender to Islamic fascists and socialize medicine or do we cut taxes and grow the economy. Now all bets are off because a true outsider has gotten onto the ticket. This outsider balanced the budget in Alaska because that’s precisely what she did at her home in Wasilla. She recognized waste, so she put the state jet on e-bay. She felt the struggles of Alaskans so she increased their energy dividends. The leer jet liberals don’t understand this because they don’t understand real Americans.
Sure, they have their standard constitutents; comprised of the folks in the housing projects waiting for another handout and illegals waiting for amnesty. They have their core supporters of trial lawyers who ply their trade of victimology and elitist academics who rape the minds of our youth in government classrooms. But besides this, what do they have?
The answer is a dwindling popularity as Obama and his flock in the biased liberal media tries to paint Palin as a pig which has caused the silent majority to rise up and lash back. The message to Obama is if you are going to call someone a pig, perhaps you should find someone more fitting (there are plenty who fit the bill in the Democrat Party). But do us all a favor and continue with the name calling and false accusations because with each passing day, the ticket that now represents real Americans is gaining steam. Maybe Joe Biden was right when he said you goofed with your VP selection. Then again, I wouldn’t want to walk backwards through every door for the next four years either.
