Presidential Election Trends
It seems that every Preidential election in recent years has taught us something about the way the American people think. Maybe not all American people but a large majority of them. We have learned a lot from the process that we go through to elect our Presidents as well as from the Presidents that we elect themselves.
For example…
1) President Clinton being re-elected proved that a great deal many American’s don’t care if a person has repeatedly cheated on their spouse, has no military experience, and smoked dope (so long as you don’t inhale of course).
2) President Bush being re-elected proved that a great deal many American’s don’t care if a person has absolutely zero ability to speak in public, can’t answer questions without looking like a dumb ass, snorted some coke (inhaling of course), and comes off as a religious war-monger.
3) President Obama being elected proved that a great deal many American’s don’t care if a person has absolutely zero experience handling matters associated with the office in which they seek, has no military experience, and the color of their skin.
To me it seems like every President that we elect is quite the opposite from the last and not just in party affiliation. We went from a smooth not-so-religious Preident with loose morals and soft stance towards foreign aggression to an over-religious not-so-smooth President who took a hard stance on foreign agreession. Then we went to a smooth no-so-religious President who has so far caved in and tried to negotiate with damn near every country that has sought to destroy America and the ideal of democracy itself!
Using those trends, who do you think is going to be the next person to run against Obama in the next election? If you don’t already have the answer to that they you REALLY need to start watching the news! My guess… Sarah Palin is going to run on the big ticket for the republicans. She just announced she is stepping down from her position as Alaska’s govener but she hasn’t said why yet. Well, it is kind of obvious isn’t it? Does she stand a chance? Again, based on the trends, I think she does. How far opposite from a black male democrat from Chicago can you get? How about a white female republican from Alaska!
But wait… what about all the ethics controversy surrounding her? Ha! The controversy around Obama was much worse but the media practically buried all of it. They will hammer Palin but in the end I think she will come out with a pretty strong chance of winning. Is it because of her qualifications and stance on the issues? Nope. It will be because she is extremely different than Obama. It was this last election that really taught us that… you don’t have to hold strong qualifications than the other candidate… you just have to be completely opposite of the current President that every one is sick and tired of.

Interesting take on that. It will be entertaining to see who omes up against Obama. The news is already hammering Palin for “being a quitter” and “giving up on her people” in an attempt to disqualify her as a potential presidential candidate. It’s almost as if you are psychic. If the state-run media really though Palin was an idiot/bumpkin with no chance, would they hammer her so hard? Maybe she can mount a threat to the fascist Obama? I hope she sticks to her roots and to her principles though and doesn’t go all John McCain on us.
