There are so many reasons why Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin gets to be the first victim on the list of people I'd like to punch in the face. It could be because she has a habit of boldly lying about her stance on things like 'Pork' and the Bridge to Nowhere. It could be because she's decided to use her pregnant teenage daughter as a pawn to show off her ultra conservative anti-choice values (despite wording the girl's decision to have the bastard child of a self described 'Red Neck' as her...choice.). Oh delicious irony.
It could also be the grandstanding, insincerity I feel with her eldest son's deployment to Iraq-so much so that it feels like Mommy Dearest would love the approval boost she'd get if he lost life or limb while over there. It could also be her Fundamental Christian belief that the world is 6,000 years old...and that Creationism...I mean 'Intelligent Design' should be taught in schools. Without the balanced teaching of the Flying Spaghetti Monster no less! Or her support of policies that would leave her fellow women making up to 25% less than their male counter parts for the same exact jobs (will she take less than Cheney if the GOP gets four more years?).
Mostly though I want to punch Sarah Palin in the face for being the distillate of everything that is wrong with politics today. Uninformed. Uneducated. Unprepared. But willing to sell out everyone and everything in order to better her own position. A total political pawn that will continue the Bush legacy of bungling on the world stage. Read the writing on the wall my American friends...and weep. Then find a way to punch her in the face too.
