We Embarrass Ourselves
The political landscape of our country has allowed us to continually embarrass ourselves both internally and to the rest of the world. Instead of having consummate professionals serving as our political leaders, it is becoming more and more apparent that our leaders are starting to mimic Hollywood and are not looking out for the best interests of those they represent. Worse than that, they are not even representing themselves well.
We have a whole party, one of our two major and electable parties in shambles, and consistently dropping further into the void. The Republican party, which I am a registered member of, nomiating Sarah Palin as the Vice Presidency??? Ok, I do not personally know the woman, nor do I assume that her presentation to the world is a good representation of who she is, but based on her presentation, she does not come across as charismatic, intelligent, or well versed on any issues with the exception of “conservative family values.” Is the media the cause of this?
