The secretive Sarah

One of the cornerstones of good government is transparency. That is what separates governing from politics.

The Bush cabal went farther than any recent administration at keeping public business a secret. Secret meetings, secret emails, destroyed emails, lies spread about opponents.

Sarah Palin would be worse.

Secrecy and vendettas, and jobs for her friends, the firing of those who disagree with her has characterized her political life from the beginning. Baby sitters and classmates put on government payrolls. Enemies black listed. Directions to staff to conduct state business with personal email that hides what is being done and how it is done from voters and taxpayers.

Good government does not work in the dark. That is why we have the first amendment. Voters and taxpayers have the right to know what government is doing, how they are spending our money.

It is almost like Sarah Palin learned how to govern from Karl Rove. She could be very dangerous to this country. She is not qualified to be vice president. She does not know the difference between right and wrong, public and personal.

John McCain asked Palin to be his vice president for political reasons. He made a terrible mistake.
