Are Consevatives confused and deeply concerned at the Palin VP pick?

Question

This woman didn't know the job description for Vice President just two months ago when questioned about the possibility of this assignment.

Answer 1

ROFLMAO!

Yet you Obama sicophants follow your messiah as if he had ANY relative experience to be President??

See the irony??

At least the lack of experience is at the BOTTOM of the Rep ticket!

Answer 2

They should be...but most conservatives think she's a good pick. Its the rest of us who are deeply concerned!

Answer 3

no, but bet the liberals are!

Answer 4

No. She is amazing.... Better than Obama, Biden AND McCain combined.

Answer 5

I'm not worried.  I think she is exactly what the ticket needed!

Answer 6

About as concerned as the Obama for President campaign,  

Answer 7

obama said we had 57 states.and you are taking what she said way out of context and you know it.and you suppose obamas non executive 143 day total qualifies him?

Answer 8

I've been watching the Democratic pundits since the McCain VP pick was announced.  They all seem to be very upset with this pick they all look like they just bit a skunk in the rear.

Answer 9

No.

But Liberals are.

Answer 10

No, but the Dems sure are.

Answer 11

I think most are shocked, confused and literally scared half to death even though most don't want to show it.....

Answer 12

I think conservatives deep down are saying to themselves "WTF" but they won't admit it.

They know they had much more qualified candidates, which were overlooked to pander to women.

I mean she is popular in Alaska, but it is not like Alaska was a swing state, she knocks down the "Putting country first" argument because this is clearly a political move. What if something happened to McCain while he was president? would people really think she was  the most qualified to succeed him?

Throws away the experience argument

It was a stupid pick, republicans just won't admit it

Answer 13

McCain’s choice of vice president is termed “bold” but it is not at all bold, if we understand boldness to be the equivalent of courageous and appropriate to the times. To the contrary, the choice suggests that McCain caved to the religious right within the Republican Party, using his pick as a political ploy to

stir their enthusiasm while perhaps attracting a few women who are attracted to a female on a ticket regardless of her views.

Yet his choice is risky – not just for McCain’s campaign but for America’s future. McCain is 72; he has a history of skin cancer; if elected, he would be the oldest American ever to serve. Hence, his choice of vice president is critically important because the odds are much higher than normal that such a person would have to assume the office of the presidency.

Sarah Palin has been a governor of state inhabited by more moose than people for twenty months, and before that mayor of a town with a population smaller than two blocks of downtown Manhattan. Although she has barely exercised power, she is already under federal investigation for abuse of it. And while Ms. Palin is perfectly entitled to believe that evolution is a myth, that women should be barred from choosing to have abortions, and that global warming has yet to be proven, these views all run counter to the views of mainstream America.

Palin’s defenders say that she is no less experienced than Obama, but that is false. Barack Obama has served as a United States Senator and an Illinois state legislator; he has also been a community organizer in Chicago. He knows how Washington works and does not work; he knows the ways our cities and metropolitan regions function and do not; his breadth and depth of experience around the world – both personally and officially – is impressive. Obama can lead the nation at a time of crisis; Sarah Palin cannot. Until very recently she did not even know what a vice president does. On Larry Kudlow’s CNBC program  Palin asked “what is it exactly that the V.P. does every day?”

In choosing Sarah Palin, John McCain has subjected the nation to an unnecessary risk, at the very time when America can least afford to take unnecessary risks. His choice of vice president should not be mistaken for boldness. It is irresponsible.

Answer 14

We did not vet her properly. Troopergate is real, unlike the muslim, black radical smears. She has no experience, she has been callous and cruel to a cancer survivor and is very petty and holds deep grudges for a long time as evidenced by Troopergate.

I will vote for BOB BARR. I will not vote for John McCain to destroy the GOP.

Answer 15

I'm not confused, she's very conservative, so it makes sense to me

She governs an energy-producing state, and that's an important issue right now...We need to lessen our dependence on foreign oil and lower gas prices, the pipeline that she fought for and got approved will help with those things

I'm not concerned because she is just what we needed to pull McCain a little closer to the right and balance our ticket

About the VP job description...Listen to her speak and try to keep it all in context.

She was talking about how VPs don't really do ANYTHING and she's used to always being on the go, staying busy, getting something done, and WORKING

Basically it was more like when you ask "What am I supposed to do all day?"

As a VP she'll have more free time than she has ever had before.

Answer 16

Yes. I am very confused and deeply concerned. The republicans have by their own admission not done a very good job the last 8 years. They really needed to present a good candidate to represent them this election. I do not feel McCain is that person. By choosing Palin as his running mate I fear the party is doomed for any chances of winning this election. I am an Independant but a conservative Independant and do not want the socialistic government that the democrats will bring but I now think Obama will diffinitly win and will probably get my vote.
