Voices: Defining difference


I must applaud the Republican Party on the recent political strategy when it picked Sarah Palin as the vice presidential nominee.

The way I see it, ol’ John just by chance might get the presidency and if something should happen to him, we will have an inexperienced, ultra-radical conservative as president, who wouldn’t have a snowball’s chance in Hades getting elected by the voters otherwise. It doesn’t really matter too much though, because corporate world boardrooms run their party anyhow.

This does show a defining difference in the parties that should be obvious to most voters though, in that Hillary Clinton actually had a chance to become president of the United States by the election process of the people: And she wasn’t anyone’s token.
