Charades



Charades


What a foolish charade: who does McCain think he's fooling?
He's chosen a running mate solely because he thinks he can win over the Hillary votes.
Sarah Palin is an NRA backing, reactive, small-time, right winger.
She does not have a compassionate spirit.
Ask her constituency.

Maybe we've proven we'll vote for what we think we want to see.
We have forgotten to think, speak and act with metaphorical depth.
Instead we are back at one plus one equals two.

One woman is the same as any other women.

Maybe for McCain, this is true.
