She's baaacck...

A First Read story from MSNBC that you guys should definitely read. It'll make you laugh in spite of the fortitude of gloomy news that has been clogging up our daily news over the past few days.

Palin creates SarahPAC

How Republicans think Sarah Palin is the answer to their problems is beyond me. I believe they think she is the answer to their problems because she is a) young and b) made herself the answers to the GOP's woes. But hey, I could be wrong. (I'm guessing probably not)

What I hate most about this is not the fact that it's a way for her to get her (unwanted) foot back into the national political door, but because she ripped of Hillary Clinton's format of helping fellow Dems raise money. The Republicans don't need help raising money or awareness. The country, as a whole, is fairly moderate and borderline conservative. We elected a Democratic president just recently because the Dems made a stronger showing this year (and the fact that so many kids came of age this election season helped out); not to mention we were tired of the ol' Republicans. Republicans have ruled the roost at the White House far more often than the Dems have. So, really, the country is not lacking for support of the GOP. Argo, the Republicans do not need to rip off ideas from the Dems in order to save their own behinds.

This may be a biased thing to say and an old stereotype, but Republican voters tend to have a bit more cash lining their pockets than Democratic voters do. It would make sense why the Democrats would need something like HillPAC to raise money for their candidates. It doesn't make sense the Republicans would need one as well. What the GOP really needs to save their party are bright young political stars (that are not dingle-dork Palin) who aren't so down-trodden by the old Republican party image. Party members who can stand up in a crowd, speak, and captivate different audiences. And they need party members who aren't so bitter and cling to their party beliefs. Obama reached out across the aisle to get voters. And he's making an effort to stay party neutral while in the White House. (so far, that is) The Republicans need to reach out in a similar way if they ever want us to take them seriously again.

Sarah Palin, all I have to say to you, is GO HOME. No Sarah Palin. Just, no. We do not want you on the national scene, thank you very much. You've only been governor of Alaska for about two years and all you've done is run for VP, taken the credit of the last governor's biddings, and make it sound like you've 100% set up a huge gas pipeline to go through Canada even though it's being fought by the Canadian Native tribes since day one and the deal hasn't really progressed that much. Those are your claims to Alaska governor fame. (Besides claiming you can see Russia from your house) These things do not make you a political star or a Republican worth looking up to. Shoo! And take SarahPAC with you!
