24 Books Sarah Palin Should Read to Become President

Political Realities

What is hard for every American, or foriegner for that matter, to comprehend is the policies and plans of Democrats and Republicans don't fit entirely into each prospective voter's profile, unless of course you're a hopeless follower. Understandably, we tend to lean one side or the other but if we're not able to weigh all aspects of each ticket and find redeeming qualities within them then I think we're missing some of the principles this country was founded on. For example, it's not hard to see the economic downfall of this Bush administration and we would really hate to see it continue however, it's hard to muster support of third term abortions.

In any event, it's hard to point figures at people who may or may not have the experience you crave. Realistically, our VP candidate on the Republican ticket and our Democratic presidential hopeful both have appeal to the average blue collar family and yuppies but both still have a lot to learn. Thankfully they're both paired with gentlemen who have many years of experience in Washington with bipartisan support.Let's also remember that the president has a tremendous amount of reinforcements within the White House not many decisions are made on one's own. In GW's case let's all say a prayer for speech writers, shall we?

This is an important election, as they all are so let's really weigh what policies are important to each of us and what moral and economic issues we deem important and make our decision based on facts, not on how our parents voted or what's popular. Let's spend a little more time studying and a little less time bashing. After all, I don't see your names on either ticket.

Books & Sarah Palin

Lot's of luck with the reading program. Sarah Palin is a NUMBSCULL. Not only that but, she is a dangerous one. She has no concept of the words "honesty & integrity". You republicans better wake up and see exactly how she is making you all look like NUMBSCULLS.

One more

Could also add "Collapse" from Jared Diamond, which explains what societies should do to avoid extinction when the environment is threatened. When reading this book, the role of government and leaders looks critical to save the planet !

Why do republicans hate America so much?

Most of these books are definitions of the failed policies that have put us where we are. Republicans want to keep insisting that the trickle down theory works, when they are fully aware that it doesn't. The problem with most of the Republican ideas is that they are based on people doing the right thing given the chance, and people never do the right thing, especially when it comes to money. And the last thing Sarah Palin needs to read is more of the idea that we don't need allies, and the the Iraq war was some kind of great pre-emptive strategy. Not only do these books go against common sense and logic, they've been proven wrong by the Bush Administration as if the end of the Reagan-Bush era wasn't enough. Of course the strategy is find a way to convince Joe Six-Pack that your lookin' out for him in order to get in office, and then take care of the wealthiest 3% at the cost of the lives and the future of Joe Six-Pack and his generations to come for as long as you can get away with it, and when everything crashes try to spin the blame the other way, and if that doesn't work pull the old "Hey lets not play the blame game here, this is just a little pickle and we'll get us out of it." If Sarah Palin has even a remote chance of being involved in any aspect of the 2012 presidential election, I weep for this country.
