Palin embarrasses me because she has a second rate education, not very smart, flaunts her ass instead of her policies, not qualified to be President, does a disservice to women, believes crazy religious things, and makes America look like a redneck, hillbilly, second rate country.

Further, Republicans use to have a point of view, but there are no true conservatives left in the party.  Conservatives like William F. Buckley who truly believed in small government and fiscal responsibility are gone.   Reagan was not a real conservative — he increased the NATIONAL DEBT by over $2 TRILLION — Reagan believed in lower taxes without curtailing spending.

Reagan changed the republicans to social religious wackos and Palin is one of those.  This new type of republican continues to exploit the intellectually challenged religious wackos in the country.   This is now the party of Jerry Falwell and Pat Roberson and James Dobson — people who have said some of the most revolting things of our time — 911 and AIDS are god’s punishment, god is judging America because of abortion, etc.

The closest thing to real conservatives today are Libertarians who believe the republicans have lost their way as well and don’t think much of McCain or Palin.  However, like Nader on the left, Libertarians have little chance in being elected.

No matter who is elected America needs to get back to fiscal conservatism.  Have as many social programs as you want — and America needs lots of them because so many people have been left behind — just pay for them as you go.  The craziness of deficit spending has to stop.

America is doomed.
