Answer 1

the new VP can not run this country. i don't think the right head was used when she was chosen.

Answer 2

That is the best endorsement she could get. The Anchorage Daily News is owned by big oil Republicans that Hate her because she is making them toe the line!

One other thought...Maybe the people complaining simply don't want to lose her.

Answer 3

she is on the Vp ballot  

Answer 4

Chicago papers also wrote Obama was inexperienced and  part of the Chicago Dirty Political Machine.

Answer 5

Who is Sara Palin She was elected Alaska 's governor a little over a year and a half ago. Her previous office was mayor of Wasilla, a small town outside Anchorage. She has no foreign policy experience.1

She supported right-wing extremist Pat Buchanan for president in 2000. 3

Palin thinks creationism should be taught in public schools.4

She's doesn't think humans are the cause of climate change.5

She's solidly in line with John McCain's "Big Oil first" energy policy. She's pushed hard for more oil drilling and says renewables won't be ready for years. She also sued the Bush administration for listing polar bears a

Answer 6

Your right.. she doesnt have the years of Washington insider grooming that a Biden or a Mcain do.. She has a strong will of what is right and wrong and attacked corruption including those of her own party..

That is change Duchess. Its what you guys have been clamoring for..  

Answer 7

Imagine that, the ONE Barack supporter making that statement about her.  But what about some of the comments in that article like this:

Jan Maj said, "It's fabulous. She was a great leader in her own community of Wasilla. And now has been a great leader for Alaska. It's excellent."

Answer 8

The Duchess is pretty desperate now, isn't she? Why do you pay so much attention to Palin if you don't feel threatened by her?  

Answer 9

way to take a quote out of context...   It says she LOOKS inexperienced not that she is inexperienced.

But, he warned, "She could blow it by looking real inexperienced."

Answer 10

The one thing that people overlook is that only 2 of our Senators have ever won the presidency as an incumbent senator, one was Warren Harding and the other was John Kennedy. In total there have been 15 of our 41 Presidents that had served in the Senate at one time or another before being elected.

This does not bold well for either McCain or Obama, on the McCain side we will have an incumbent Senator and a State Governor, on Obama's side there are 2 Senators.

Governors have done pretty well in elections, Clinton, Bush Sr, Bush Jr

Jimmy Carter, Ronald Regan.

Sarah Palin may be not have the experience that most of the conservatives want but she will get a crash course and after the election she will be surrounded by people that do have the experience.

Sarah has 2 years as a Governor, Obama has 176 in session Senate days before he decided that he had enough experience to run. Here is the difference, with Obama you have the man in charge with no experience and the person with the experience as the second man.

With McCain, he has the experience and the inexperienced person

learning and gaining skills.

You can be a VP with on the job training, you can not be the President with on the job training.

Answer 11

If her own newspaper and  its readers are so critical it sound like she's in deep ****

Answer 12

They don't dare attack Palin. They need women to vote for them.

Obama/Biden=toast

Answer 13

Jeez....I read the article in your link and the pros and cons seemed rather evenly divided - how did you draw your conclusion?

Answer 14

Time Out

Why doesn't the political world make sense anymore?

Try this on for size. I'm not saying that this is how it is; I'm just saying that this is how the illogical facts start to make some sense.

McCain is a good guy and an experienced statesman. He has always served his country honorably and competently. So why, when he runs for President, does he suddenly lose his mind?

Perhaps he hasn't. It is no secret that the Neocons have hijacked the Republican Party. It is also no secret that they have done untold damage to the nation. And…it is also no secret that since his candidacy began; McCain has appeared to "be on board" with the Neocons.

Is it possible that since the "Georgia" thing that McCain has realized how deeply the Neocons have already infiltrated his machine…

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?p...

…and are in the process of setting him up as an accomplice in order to force him to do their bidding?

McCain, being McCain may have figured out how to out-smart them.

Exhibit 1) McCain has stated "he would rather lose an election than a war". It makes sense that he would rather lose an election than allow a corrupt cabal to control our government.

Exhibit 2) Sarah Palin…Why her? Out of all of the people, he had to choose from, why did he pick her for a running mate. […she also has not shied from confronting Exxon Mobil, BP and ConocoPhillips.] + [In the state "she's viewed ... as almost anti-oil. She's probably pro-oil from a national perspective, but she's not in the pocket of Big Oil. She's fought them at every step.]

http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5jWu39...

…[McCain introduced his newly minted running mate to the crowd at Consol Energy Park, citing her record of "reform and public integrity."]

http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/el...

Exhibit 3) The risk to Palin as the running mate. It is minimal. Worst-case scenario…she sticks to her guns and they lose the election. She is now a household name, where before, few people outside of Alaska had heard of her.

Exhibit 4) Win or lose the Election, the Republican party wins. Personally I feel that McCain/Palin is the weaker ticket against Obama/Biden (although for the sake of this essay I am making the case for the Republicans out of my duty to country [don't get used to it, these moods don't last long]) they could conceivably win.

If they lose, the "chain of abuse" from the Neocons that now control the White House, therefore the Executive Branch including all intelligence/law enforcement, will be broken and the Republicans can rebuild their party without the interference of  the "dark forces".

If they can win (without succumbing to the Neocons), they will have done the impossible. They will control the Executive Branch and they will be able to clean house as they see fit.

Exhibit 5) The Republican Convention. It hasn't happened yet. But this is where it will become apparent whether McCain has a plan, or has just lost his mind.

What are we looking for? Distancing from (or preferably snubbing) of the Neocons (particularly Bush, Cheney and any of their henchmen).

Protocol requires their presence at the event but there will be things to look for.

Exhibit 5a) The code for "Neocon". The Republican party has an unwritten rule forbidding the utterance of the word. Look for the term such as "there are those in our party" that will be used to denote the Neocons, and then an attempt to distance the ticket from these individuals.

Exhibit 5b) Terms that distance McCain from the bush administration. This is less important because it is already a theme of the ticket. But stressing this point (preferably enough to p**s Cheney off and make Bush cry ) is a good sign.

In summary, I am not stating that I know that this is what is going on, I am merely stating that things haven't made sense lately and this could explain the weirdness.

I also feel that Obama is highly intelligent and I could tell by Bill Clinton's speech the other night that Obama and Biden have earned the TOTAL backing of the entire Washington Democratic brain trust…and they are going to win.

The whole point of me writing this is to acknowledge McCain's dedication to serving his country, and Palin's courage to enter this fight.

That may be the last nice things I say about them for a while so I hope you enjoyed them.

Time-in
