Sarah Palin for Vice President? - I Think I Need a Reality Check

As a Democrat, my initial reaction to
John McCain's choice of running mate was one of disbelief quickly
followed by wicked glee. A "hockey-mom" from Alaska, mayor of a town
of all of 9000, an inexperienced Governor who is still trying to get a
handle on things? (Snort) How awful and yet, for the Democrats, how
wonderful! McCain just blew a hole in his own sinking ship!.
Woohoooooo!!

That was my initial reaction. Then I thought a little more about why he chose Sarah Palin. And that thought process led to a dark and scary place.

I'm not for Sarah Palin, but

I'm not for Sarah Palin, but I take offense with the words "wicked glee" and the snark that this post is written with (Snort? Blew a hole in the sinking ship?)

Please don't engage in the snark and hate that the pundits drive within political discussion.

Snarky Comments

Sorry if my tone offended you...I guess that I feel strongly about the issues and listening to all of the political snarking has rubbed off on me a wee bit. I like to write the way I think and to be honest about where I am coming from. Sorry if you found this offensive - it wasn't meant to be.

I can't apologize though for feeling gleeful whenever I sense that the Republicans (whom I do not support) appear, at least at first glance, to be making a mistake that will help the Democrats (whom I do support). It's only natural to feel joyful in such circumstances, but I'll try not to be too snarky about it.:)

Snark-on

Hey JC,

I wouldn't worry about it...not everyone is going to like everything you have to say or the way you choose to say it. Besides, the more I get to know Sarah Palin, the more I would tend to agree with your assessment. She is one scary woman - arrogant, ill-informed and a bald-faced liar. That's a dangerous combination in my book.
