Sara Palin for Veep?

Karl Rove is not stupid, though he's probably dumb like a fox.

One thing seems clear. John McCain turned to Rove trained lieutenants a few weeks back when he realized that he was in trouble as the GOP candidate. That was a turning point, after which swift boat type attacks on Obama became the daily specials on the news menu. That was also about the time Rove became a consultant for Fox News, the US equivalent of Pravda of the former Soviet Union.

Fair and Balanced? Give up on insulting my intelligence. You can appeal to those whose decisions are made mostly based on their levels of testosterone, both males and females have it. You understand the power of instincts, and use it to manipulate the emotions of those who need to be told what to think and do.

I will not waste my time and energy on crying shame, for you have no shame. You who do this are just the current examples of those who have done this since the beginning of recorded history of our species on this earth.

Karl Rove is such a person. He is the master of labelling others as evil in order to deflect that accusation away from himself. He mastered his craft of deceit in the telemarketing business. Need I say more?

Karl Rove is the master of deceit, now "advising" Candidate McCain who used to claim that he was the maverick of the party. Candidate McCain, like Faust, has sold his soul to the current incarnation of the Devil in Right Wing Christian garb, Karl Rove.

John McCain must have come to realize that he needed to bring in the hit men of the current elected Mafia, and let loose the Rovian attacks, like swift boating. Whatever works, do what you have to do, shoot now and ask questions later, etc..

I got it so far, until McCain chose Palin as his running mate.

Yes, she is pro-life; yes she has recently spoken out against pork, and can seem to claim belief in and support of traditional so called Conservative values. The far right base for McCain might be revelling in this news, which he desperately needs.

His attacks against Obama have been mostly based on Obama's inexperience Then he chooses a running mate with even less experience. She has been AK's governor for less than four years. Her previous job was mayor of a small town, small as in 6500 people.

He's 72 years old now and she's 44 I think I heard. Yet he's chosen her as his running mate who would become president should he not be able to serve a full four year term.

Hello?

I come back to Rove whose admitted life goal is to keep Republicans in power, in the same sense that the Third Reich was to last a thousand years.

I don't ask what McCain is thinking, I ask what Rove is thinking. He's the modern day Machiavelli. McCain has reduced himself to being Machiavelli's Prince.

On the surface it seems to be a really dumb move. A few days ago Rove was predicting in his new role as a Fox analyst that Obama would make the mistake of selecting someone for merely political advantage, like Tim Kane of VA, to garner support in a crucial state. Now we find McCain doing just that. Obama chose Biden because he could step in as president with clear experience in the halls of government. Is Palin up to that? Of course not.

Is it as bald faced as choosing a running mate simply as a lure to hook Hillary supporters? Palin is a hard line Pro Life supporter. I wonder how many women will take that bait, willing to put Roe v Wade back on the table in front of a Supreme Court packed even more by Far Right extremists.

I throw this out as a thread of a topic, and solicit your ideas and responses.

I really don't know what to make of this. Enlighten me please.
