The Governor Who Quits

…A Brief Review Of Her Un-qualifications

Sarah Palin is a liar. She is a quitter. She lacks positive moral and ethical standards. She is unqualified to hold any position of trust in any elected public office. Period. Let’s review.

She possesses an erratic, eccentric, rebellious nature that does not serve her well. She attended and quit five colleges (one of them twice) before she finally hounded (or paid off) one enough they actually granted her a degree.

Her disruptive, unconventional and perverse inclinations allowed her to condone her underage, unmarried daughter having sex with an underage male and allowed her to condone her daughter’s pregnancy. She perpetuated the lie that her daughter and the sperm donor where going to be married in order to play the media and the public for fools during the Presidential campaign. This lie was promptly dropped after the campaign because it no longer served Palin’s selfish purpose; hardly a shining, acceptable conservative ‘family values’ example.

Speaking of perverse, she delights in the slaughter of animals in the Alaska wild, hunting them from helicopters. Don’t get me wrong, I have no problem with hunting as long as you need the meat to survive. That’s not what is going on with Palin and her vicious need to kill. Warning: if you are easily offended by pictures of helpless, slaughtered animals don’t click on this site.

As a leader, she’s incompetent and unconcerned with legalities. She’s been accused of and found guilty of numerous ethical and legal violations. She unlawfully abused her power as governor by trying to have her former brother-in-law fired as a state trooper. And she got slammed with a violation of ethics laws relating to the misuse of funds and private donations to pay her legal bills.

Through all these charges of improper and illegal behavior, she displayed an incredible tactlessness and disregard for her constituents. Instead of facing up to the charges, she bolted and ran, resigning her position as governor after serving only half her term. This act of cowardice left the distinct impression she was guilty on all counts, on all charges. With that resignation she revealed both her lack of fortitude and concern for those in Alaska who voted for and supported her. She’s a quitter.

On the world stage, Palin has no competent understanding of basic geography or political history or political science and—to her detriment—she is unsociably fixed in her opinions—opinions that are formed on the slightest of incomplete and false information. Sure a small part of Russia can be seen from a certain part of Alaska but that doesn’t suffice as accepted knowledge of Russian social/geo-political behaviors but it is evidently enough for Palin. She displays even more incompetence, idiocy and ill-informed, irrational thinking in her interviews with Katie Couric.

The untalented Palin’s newly published a book was, of course, written by someone else for her. In fact, it was authored by ghostwriter Lynn Vincent the co-author of a book with white supremacist blogger Robert Stacy McCain. No surprise the work is full of lies, distortions and less than factual content. Palin continued telling more lies to Oprah Winfrey on Oprah’s syndicated talk show.

All of Sara Palin’s life seems to have been and is currently designed to mislead and deceive others into believing that she actually has a positive set of values, morals and ethics. She does not. She perpetuates the illusion that she is a competent, well-informed, compassionate leader. She is nothing of the sort.

She’s uniquely unqualified.

She is, after all, a liar who quit when the going got tough.
