That's right, I'm saying it here out loud now so when you are asked to go back to the Alaskan wilderness I can bring this diary back up and say I said it here first!
You were punked, that is to say, you were used like a rag doll in a Washington DC political power play by Karl Rove and his friends. Let me say this, I really don't like you one bit or your politics, but the truth is you ain't as bright as people think you are, neither is your husband Todd and neither is the rest of your family, and when I mean that, I mean it as it comes to raw politics in the lower 48 states, and the fact that the republicans will do anything to stay in power, even destroy a couple of Alaskan families in the process.
And guess what Sarah, they have been planning this for some time, you, your family and Levis family are nothing more than political pawns in a much larger game of chess. You really think you can take on Ted Stevens and the republican establishment without getting totally and absolutely destroyed?
Listen Sarah, you're a hick from a small town in Alaska, your husband is a hick, your daughter is a hick also and her boyfriend is a hick as he pretty much self describes himself. You, your family and Levi's family all grew up in the wilds of Alaska and you know what, there ain't no shame in being a hick from the wilds of Alaska, you hunt, you snowmobile, you eat Moose burgers, shoot guns and generally whoop it up in the last real American frontier. Quite frankly that sounds like a blast to me, I would probably enjoy being in the wilds of Alaska and being a hick right alongside of you! That's not meant to denigrate you in any way, however you should know that is exactly what John and Cindy "8 houses" McCain and the republican power brokers think of you, your family and Alaskans in general, that's the plain spoken hard truth of the matter
Truth is, you have been used as a political stunt. The republicans have no interest in you at all other than driving up interest in the Evangelical Christian base they have been using in this exact same manner for years now. You did your job so far Sarah, you got them all fired up exactly how Rove and company wanted to do, you were the perfect dupe, a wild Alaskan girl with 5 kids, a infant with downs syndrome, an out-of-wedlock teenage pregnant daughter. Perfect political theater in a year when all hope was lost and the Evangelicals were going to stay at home in droves!
But guess what Sarah, your job ain't done yet! You see, they don't want an outsider, they want one of their own, someone who plays by the same old republican rules, do you really think that Rove and company actually want an untested unknown girl from the backwoods of Alaska sitting in the Vice presidents office when they can put someone in there that can insure we keep the war profiteering going? Do you really think the good old boys in the Military Industrial Complex have any interest in a backwoods girl from Alaska sitting in the office of the Vice President so soon after they have established the office as the puppet master to the presidents office?
No Sarah, sorry to break it to you but it simply ain't gonna happen. Why do you think they have already begun to fabricate the narrative of your family being attacked by the Democrats and the press when no such thing has happened? Why do you think they are keeping you away from the press and refuse to allow you to meet with them? It's all a setup Sarah for the next act in this drama.
So what happens next in this little drama? Well you will be asked ever so quietly to withdraw and they will use your withdrawal to once again fire up the Evangelical base by saying that the Democrats and the press attacked your family and forced you to withdrawal while they silently place someone who is a political power player in Washington politics on the ticket as VP. Thus they get all the benefits of the Evangelicals turning out in droves because the Democrats and the press were so mean to you, a person inside the power broker Military Industrial Complex added to the ticket and a serious news cycle to boot!
And what will happen to you Sarah? You'll return to Alaska after having your family literally destroyed, Levi's family destroyed and those corrupt Alaska politicians you fought with will impeach you, in short, you will be ruined, your life in tatters and left to die on the north slope and they will be laughing their asses off.
Guess what Sarah, the Republicans have been using people like you and the Evangelical Christians like this for years, they think you are all stupid, they don't care one bit about you or any of your issues, do you really think they are going to overturn Roe v Wade after decades of precedence being set pretty much ingraining it in the culture across the land? Don't you realize that the large majority of Americans support it and would kill off any attempt at overturning it by outright revolt? These are power brokers in the most profitable business on earth, the US Military Industrial Complex and all they care about is feeding the beast and they will use any means necessary to do so.
Sorry Sarah, I feel for you, but you only have to look to the off camera words of Peggy Noonan to realize you have been punked, used as political theater and you will eventually be thrown out like a rag doll. Did you really think a backwoods girl from Alaska is going to sit down at the dinner table with someone who wears $300,000 outfits? Did you really think your backwoods husband Todd with his lack of college education is going to sit at the table with diplomats and corporate power brokers? Do you really think your backwoods daughter and her redneck boyfriend are going to go to school with the kids of the Washington DC power elite?
No, No and Hell no Sarah, ain't gonna happen darling, it just ain't!
