Don't you have to know how the former administration operates if you are to be like it?
Palin didn't know it for two reasons.
1. Because the Bush Doctrine is NOT written by the Bush Administration, it's the product of the press. The Press has defined the Bush Doctrine.... four times over.
2. She didn't know the Bush Doctrine because she doesn't follow it. ...So where do the ads of four more years of Bush even make sense?
Meanwhile I hear, "Let's not play politics as usual" while they are being played. I was on the fence on Obama, I was. Believe me or not, I don't care. I live in Delaware a state worth nothing in electoral votes. And even worse, who cares how I vote? But if this crap keeps up, Obama's use of the democratic attack machine will turn me off to any message he may have worth hearing.
I'm even pissed at Charlie Gibson of ABC News now. I have always looked at him as a neutral figure and voice of impartial reason. He picked sides in an ugly way when he lorded over Sarah Palin in his 'exclusive' interview: http://www.upi.com/news/issueoftheday/2008/09/12/ABCs_Gibson_grilled_Palin_hard_but_it_may_backfire/UPI-81241221234472/
Now when I watch Charlie Gibson, I'll see the same biased person I see in Mrs. Bubblehead herself, Diane Sawyer. I'm a glutton for punishment when I record Good Morning America every morning and I listen to her at the top of the broadcast announcing the days news with her totally phoney voice inflections. "Another Hurricane threatens our coastline, how can the Bush Administration let this happen?" But what my point is that she and so many other media personalities are biased to the point all I get out of any broadcast is they are trying so hard to indoctrinate me into accepting what they see as reality. I don't watch FoxNEWS as I don't want to get labled as a Republican Rah-rah. I'm really very down the center on social issues. I believe in a woman's right to choose. I don't believe in global warming, but I do KNOW we are trashing our planet with the way we litter. Worse yet, China and the rest of the world litter and polute far worse than America, yet we are the ugly American consumers that don't think a bit about the planet. While our country doesn't do enough, the truth is we are far from the worst while being treated as such.
Meanwhile the world wants American's do vote in a President based on their needs. http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/09/09/2360240.htm?section=world What?
America is far too touchy feely anymore. We care what the world thinks about us too much. We are unappreciated and hated while we donate more enough money to the world that could drown a heard of elephants.
Politics has reached a new low in our country. Our media has now openly taken sides but at least we know that all the major media news outlets such as ABC News, CBS News and NBC NEws ... and oh yes, CNN News are openly Democrats.
It appears Republicans and Democrats are going to cut the country in half again. Strange enough by race and gender too. I really wish we didn't even have a two or more party system. I hate the General Election years. Friends bicker, families stress, this is not America. We should do better.
