socio-politics

In 2006, Sarah Palin stated in regards to Iraq, “I’ve been so focused on state government, I haven’t really focused much on the war in Iraq. I heard on the news about the new deployments, and while I support our president, Condoleezza Rice and the administration, I want to know that we have an exit plan in place”.

And she has a son that has been deployed to Iraq……..

She also has repeatedly deemed the Iraq war to be a war for oil and that it is ridiculous to do this when there is so much domestic oil to be taken advantage of. This oil would be coming from Alaska, and Alaska’s economy is already overwhelmingly based on oil, and should ANWR be drilled into, Alaska would benefit far more than any other state. Her experience is based solely in Alaska, and it is an understatement to call this a limited view.

I know I’m a hypocrite for criticizing the media for being so hyped about Palin in the last post because I am obviously no better.  I  really can not understand the support she is receiving - I’d be far less dumbfounded if people were pushing for a Jeb Bush presidency.  I just want to see how people that support her can respond to the criticisms that I’ve brought up so that I can at least make some sense of it.
