Problems with Palin

As I watched Gov. Palin speak at the Republican, I was really turned off. I understood why so many liked her but she was not the person for me. I was having a really hard time putting my finger on what the problem was exactly but I knew that she was not a person I wanted in leadership.

As I started reading more and more things about her, I finally put my finger on it. She if very much like President Bush in her attitude for how to deal with people who do not agree with her. She tends to get rid of them. She has fired (or tried to) many people who have tried to stand up against her.

I also have not liked how they seem to be keeping her a secret. Their campaign has not made her very open to the public. Again, I understand this. They want to ride the wave of her popularity all the way to November. But you should be asking yourself this question; What is it about her that they are trying so hard to hide?

Now, I am all for passion and fighting for what you believe it. But there is an ethical line that should not be crossed. People can disagree and that can be handled in an adult manner. I also think that disagreement and discussion is an important ways of learning and finding the way to work things out. I do not agree with bullying legislation and policy with fear and intimidation.

Please think seriously about who you are going to be voting for in November. I think that it is important to be comfortable with your decision whether your candidate wins or loses. And remember, you can NEVER throw your vote away. However you choose to vote is your way of using your voice and you have the control.
