The Lyin', the Watch, and the Wardrobe

Dear Sarah is how the one of the latest anti-Gov. Palin videos circling the web starts off. A bunch of teenage girls, including younger girls, all basically stating that what Gov. Palin stands for will somehow ruin their lives. One little girl tells Sarah not to tell her what books she can’t read. One says that Sarah wants God to let the soldiers to die in Iraq, while another thinks that Sarah’s beliefs have to be hers. Another girl states how more women are raped in Alaska, but adds that Gov. Palin did nothing. Bottom line, these girls all “think” that Gov. Sarah Palin will undo all that women fought for. Well if a ten-year-old said it, it must be true. No. Now it is true that rape numbers are higher in Alaska, but it’s a lie that Gov. Palin did nothing.

Of course another “concern” for the McCain-Palin campaign the polls numbers, well, somewhat. Turn on ABC, CBS, NBC, and Obama leads by 7-11 points. But watch carefully now, because usually the network name is followed by a joint partner in polling, like an ABC News-Washington Post poll. How trustworthy can a poll like that be when the Washington Post has endorsed Obama? So watch carefully, and don’t be fooled.

And lastly, what do you think of Gov. Palin’s clothes? To be honest, who cares? Well sadly the media does. For all last week it was the big concern involving the $150,000 spent on Gov. Palin’s clothes by the RNC. Palin doesn’t get to keep the clothes, and SHE DIDN’T BUT THEM. Hey what about John McCain’s $500+ shoes or Barack Obama’s $1,500+ specially made suits? At least Palin's clothes will be auctioned off with the proceeds to go to charity.

It’s no secret that the campaign trail is rough for McCain and Palin. And it’s no secret their under a greater microscope than Sen. Obama. I’m just wondering if people are even focusing to the issues, I mean really focusing and listening. Obama has pointed out how McCain campaign manager Rick Davis said about this election not being about the issues. And at times it seems like that with what the media tends to report. It seems the media is more interested in reporting the lyin’, the watch (poll numbers and other flaws), and the wardrobe.
