Gone, but what price?

It's true.  Sarah Palin will never again be considered for political office in any realistic way.  She was and is an embarrassment to all women and now she is also finally an embarrassment to the Republican Party and to the narrow-minded Constitution-waving Tea Party lunatic fragment.  No group will ally itself with her and not because they don't believe the garbage that comes from her lips, but because it won't get votes.  But the way this came about is one of the biggest tragedies of our time.  I have a 10 year old granddaughter and I can hardly fathom the heartache that we would go through if she had been shot like that little girl.  I could blame capitalism, I could blame greed, I could blame racism.  I could blame a populace completely surrounded with education and information who still has no idea of what socialism or any other economic system is.  I could blame irresponsible speeches and complete incomprehensible stupidity.  I could blame a party who actually thought we were so stupid to think that 'any woman on a ticket will do' and chooses to continue to allow focus on a hate-filled person who has no idea what she is talking about.  I do blame all of these things.
