  Mental health problem or blind ambition

  I would like to have a psychologist examine Palin’s behavior. Something just doesn’t seem right to me. Does she have a mental health problem, for instance delusions of grandeur, or is she simply so ambitious that she is can’t hide it.

  Some things worth thinking about.

  1. She fired those who she felt did not totally supported her as mayor of Wasilla and asked for loyalty oaths from fellow citizens of a very small town.

  2. When she was Governor she alarmed the state lawmakers The legislature initiated a bipartisan examination into whether she had abused her power before she was picked for McCain’s Vp . She let McCain operatives take over the Alaskan governorship and try to stop the investigation.

  3. As governor she decided that she did not need to go where the government was but stayed in her own home . This led to the legislators wearing buttons saying “Where is Sarah”.

  4. She referred to the Palin-McCain campaign instead of the McCain-Palin ticket, as if she were the head of the ticket, in a campaign speech .

  5. She publicly criticized the McCain strategy of pulling out of Michigan saying that she and Todd should be sent up there to campaign.

  6-13. Hannity of Fox news -On if she’s spoken to McCain about her role in a McCain administration. “Sure have. I’m very excited about the role that I will play as his partner.

  I will focus on energy independence And on reforming overall Washington And on tax cuts for Americans And on reigning in spending. Also I also will focus on helping families with special needs children And on and strengthening the National Institute for Health,

  And on finding cures for presently incurable diseases.”

  Even Hannity asked her “have you talked to McCain about this?”

  14. In the VP Debate with Biden she announced that she would not follow the rules of the debate but would talk about what SHE feels the people want to hear.

  15. She occasionally goes off into an alternative world where her sentences are not coherent making an honest Alaskan she was debating in her run for governor remark “I don’t understand a word you just said.” We saw this tendency in some of the interviews. The campaign is now keeping her from interviews where there will be a follow-up not just a recitation of memorized talking points.
