I’ve had the same reaction as I assume most people have had to the announcement of Sarah Palin as the Republican Vice-Presidential Candidate – “who?”. After reading as much as I can about her background, her politics and beliefs, I would like to share a letter I stumbled upon recently from a resident of Wasilla, Alaska, hometown of Mrs. Palin. The letter in it’s entirety is hosted at snopes.com. Some excerpts:
… Her experience is as mayor of a city with a population of about 5,000 (at the time), and less than 2 years as governor of a state with about 670,00 residents. …
… McCain is the oldest person to ever run for President; Sarah will be a heartbeat away from being President. …
… While Sarah was Mayor of Wasilla she tried to fire our highly respected City Librarian because the Librarian refused to consider removing from the library some books that Sarah wanted removed. …
I don’t support the Republicans for other reasons than this, but this makes me scared of the very real possibility that Sarah Palin might be President of the United States of America in the next few years.
