A Republican thinks that if you bought a ranch two years before you ran for President, that you are a rancher. And that at that ranch, you cut your own brush, even though you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth and never really was good at anything useful.
A Republican thinks that if they say that they are a Christian, regardless of how immoral they are, they are STILL more moral than anyone else. Do they really think that other people are more evil than they, despite the bottomless depth of their malevolence? It is better to look christian than be moral, eh?
A Republican thinks that if a woman has blonde hair and regular features, she is to be believed. Viz. Nancy Pfotenhauer, that Dana Perino woman, Elizabeth Hasselbeck. Also to be believed are women with fake personalities, like Sarah Palin. The occasional redhead and brunette are allowed into the "to be believed" club, viz. Katherine Harris, Michele Bachmann. But they are disposable.
Cindy McCain.
Cindy McCain. Who wears her hair like a prom queen everywhere she goes, who never makes a policy statement, who does not share loving looks with her husband...their idea of a first lady?
A Katherine Harris parody video sent me today by essjay reminded me of the unselfconscious venality of these people.

Which of course immediately reminded me of Sarah Palin, whose vapid exterior covers a rapacious interior. As she climbed the political ladder, she bit the hand of most who supported her on the way up. She filled appointed positions with lackeys who were beholden to her. Anyone who disagreed with her was labeled a "hater" and dispatched expeditiously. Wasilla appointed a city manager after Palin became mayor, because she had precipitously fired so many people that the City was open to expensive legal action.
In short, for Palin, public office is a convenient platform by which to harm enemies and nurture personal projects. She borrowed lots of money on the public dime, gave her friends the inside path to lucrative contracts, and bought off the voters with rebates in a state with an educational system in crisis, in order to acquire political power.
'Tis indeed better to look Christian than be moral for Sarah Palin. The McCain campaign has abandoned the Rev. Wright smears this time around. They know just how vile the minister and the theology of the Wasilla Assembly of God is and if the Democrats told the public the truth about Pastor Ed Kalnins it would likely erode Republican eroded ranks yet further.
