Obama, Palin and McCain

Sarah Palin is the Perfect Match for John McCain, however, she is not the perfect match for the Vice Presidency of the United States of America. Like George W. Bush, Palin and McCain are both Mavericks, and this is not the character trait we need in another president or vice president. We have less privacy, more terrorism, environmental degradation, less money, fewer jobs, and a collapsing housing market and falling housing prices, a collapsing banking industry, a severely damage foreign policy, diminished USA international prestige, and a massively destabilized global financial systems as a result of Republican Maverick misguided leadership.

Richard Nixon was also another unsuccessful Republican presidential Maverick, who was impeached based on charges of illegal wiretapping and burglary, obstruction of justice, bribery, using public office for personal profiteering, and abuse of power. The bottom-line is we do not need more of the same, or more of this kind of national and international shame.

Surely, she knows it takes two irresponsible people to produce an unplanned pregnancy.

Gov. Palin also has a bridge to nowhere taxpayer and an abuse of power scandals on her career resume. The abuse of power scandal relates to Gov. Palin and her husband putting pressured on Walt Monegan (the commissioner of public safety) to fire her sister's ex-husband. Here is how this affair went:

"There is ample evidence that Palin used her power as governor to get her ex-brother-in-law fired. When his boss refused to fire him, she fired him. She first denied Monegan's claims of pressure to fire trooper Michael Wooten (who went through a messy divorce with
