Republican Party

Out of frustration, I would like to badmouth the Republican Party. As I watch CNN on TV, and as I watch all those debates, I get saddened. McCain looks and acts like George Bush. In fact, if we style his haircut just the right way, twins! As a European observer, I tend not to know the exact details and ideologies of each American candidate, but from first impressions I can gather a decent opinion. Thus, what I gathered is that McCain as a symbol is no different than Bush. This of course is my view, and should not be regarded as fact.

Sarah Palin. This nefarious name should make you shudder. When asked “what newspapers do you read?” She answered, “Umm, all of them.” This Alaskan governor slash ultra-conservative slash anti-abortion slash creationist soccer mom can be a potential vice president of one of the world’s most powerful countries. If McCain gets elected and gets kicked out, Palin is there to rule. In the views of Matt Damon, imagine Palin negotiating with Putin. Doesn’t look that great does it?

I guess this was rather a long digression from the financial crisis, but given the outcome, this could lead to a new political crisis. Nostradamus warned us of 3rd World War, and I am sure the name Palin can be associated to some of his quatrains.
