Does it bother anyone that our politicians are now celebrities worthy of gracing the covers of Ok! and US Weekly?
So many women jumped on the Palin bandwagon and are supporting her (despite that fact that I think she's absolutely lacks the credential to be VP) because her 17-year-old daughter is pregnant. Their slogan is "Her story is my story" They like her because they can relate to her. I understand you want someone who shares your views. But really, to support someone because you can relate to them? The last time that happened, Bush was elected (a large percentage of people said they voted for Bush because he was the one they thought they could share a beer with). What happened to voting based on their stances? What are the pitfalls of people voting based on who they can relate to? What are the advantages? I'm just grabbing for a debate. |

I swear i will CRY if Palin/McCain wins.
If old man McCain ends up with a health problem or maybe dies, Plain can NOT lead our country out of the crisis it is in. but staying on topic politians are sort of like low key celebrites. It is a popularity contest. Running for president cant be "Citizens of America, you are I are nothing alike. Vote for me." Sure there are other factors but likeablitiy is very important. |
