Palin's PAC, and Palin's "Vision"

This from McClatchy and the Anchorage Daily News:

Palin has a PAC (Political Action Committee).

Palin "is planning at least two trips out of state paid for by her political action committee."

She will be "traveling the country to support those who share her vision."

And who would those supporters be? Oh, yes, the same ones that think Joe (Sam) the plumber and John McCain are fonts of wisdom.


Heh. Heh. Then we must ask, what vision? Shooting wolves from helicopters? Drilling for oil on every sacred piece of land in Alaska? Drowning the polar bears? Conning the federal government to keep pouring tax dollars into the state?

Well, yes. All that and more. Palin's "vision" also involves "government reform, (low) taxes, and personal freedom."

All of which means what? If she's so worried about government reform she should start in Alaska which has been a hotbed of corruption for years on local, state and federal levels. She could revisit her years as mayor of that huge metropolis of Wasilla. She could reconsider her cronyism and personal visitations of hell on her opponents in Alaska. She could try to convince her own party in Alaska to follow her "vision" for that state, which of late they seem singularly unwilling to do.

Low taxes? For whom? The rich, of course. Personal freedom? Let's see, now; over the past eight years, under Republican rule, the personal freedoms guaranteed by our Constitution have been abrogated on several fronts, including the right to privacy and the right of habeas corpus. And Palin has been a strong supporter of Repugnican rule!

So, what is Palin the prevaricator talking about?

Like most Republicans, she's talking about nothing. Doesn't matter, though. Unfortunately, too many of the hoi polloi in this country think a hockey mom with a dysfunctional family, a proven liar, and a failing record as a politician has all the qualities necessary to be president.
