How the Palin Effect Affects Adam J. Gonzales:


I love America.

I love the fact that I have faith in our union, but I am terrified about the thought that we have made it this far with Palin and perhaps might refer to her as president one day. She is completely diametrically opposed to what progressive women really stand for. Her lies are becoming greater and greater. She is too broad in her rhetoric and is incapable of giving a straight answer when pressed with fairly simple questions such as foreign policy experience and what sort of reform she will bring to Washington. What is most alarming is her world view, a future doctrine that would bring us closer towards war with nations that are no longer located in the Middle East, but on the large eastern frontiers of Europe.

I’m just sick and tired of the whole thing. I’m sick and tired that the south is forever a republican stronghold, even when voting against their best interests furthers their escalation towards detriment. I’m sick and tired of people trying to take away reproductive rights from women when a portion of those opposed to abortion can't reproduce themselves. I’m sick and tired that people are once again willing to vote republican after the last eight years of hardship and misery. I’m sick and tired that racism lurks in the depths of men and women who can't vote for a man who is of mixed race, perhaps a person whose judgment can one day measure on par with Abraham Lincoln.

We live in a world were Russia is steadily becoming a cold war foe once again; an American financial crisis that is a once in a century event; a climate that for the first time in human history may cause the North Pole to be iceless this summer. And our answer to these disastrous events is a hockey mom from Alaska who holds no advance degrees, a person who will possibly be a heartbeat away from deciding major domestic and foreign policy issues that will affect the entire globe for several generations to come?

If these two end up becoming in power, we are going to be tied to the politics of a people in this country who believe in creationism, an unregulated market, overturning Roe vs. Wade, heavy talk and light diplomacy, distraction vs. discussing presidential issues, and shooting defenseless animals in helicopters for many years to come I’m afraid. This party of pale must not win. They are incapable of changing; incapable of moving with the times; incapable of separating their religion from politics. However, I do have faith in America and its people. They will eventually see the right path to take once the fog has settled.

Palin will be pressured to participate in more difficult interviews and this will continue to distort her image as a maverick reformer and political supernova. The McCain war machine can only spin her words so much to their advantage. Their limitations are beginning to surface as Obama prepares to take the field. The neutral media will further expose Palin for the incapable national politician she is and her intellectual limitations will cause her to lose footing during the vice presidential debates. Inevitably, her undoing will be herself, as the American people will begin to realize that her ideologies do not coalesce with their own.

We must stand affirm in our commitment to progress. We must stand affirm in our willingness to combat those who attempt to argue against our party with false truths and inaccuracies. We must stand affirm in our promise to ensure that future generations inhabit a world that is better than our own.


A bright new day is on the dawn...
A bright new horizon has yet to set...
