Letter To The Editor, www.nytimes.com, Sept. 9 2008:
Re “A Heartbeat Away” (column, Sept. 8): So now William Kristol, referring to Sarah Palin, is trying to convince us that voters will find the idea of “a Wasilla Wal-Mart Mom a heartbeat away” from the presidency to be “no problem.”
Eight years ago a candidate sold himself as the kind of regular guy you’d like to sit down and have a beer with. George W. Bush went on to become president and brought our nation to a breaking point with two continuing wars and a ballooning national deficit, and ruined the United States’ reputation and standing around the world.
Given the similarity between Mr. Bush’s ideology and Ms. Palin’s (deeply religious, anti-choice, wants to drill in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, cut taxes and so on), I do not think our nation can continue on the same path for an additional four years.
Just the very thought should induce the public to steer as far away as possible from this conservative and toxic Republican ideology.
