Does the idea of Sarah Pallin for president scare the c**p out of you?

Question

She has no foreign policy experiance, supports banning abortion for ANY reason, and believes teaching the fairy tale of creationism in schools.

Answer 1

The thought does, but the reality is that McCain will NEVER win now, and I'd wager the intense national scrutiny Palin will endure will reveal issues that effectively end her political aspirations, forever.

Answer 2

Yes, her and her family circus.  

Answer 3

Yes it does.  

She is so obviously not prepared - so who will be the puppet master behind her - if she is needed to take office?

Answer 4

Or you can vote Obama ..no foreign policy experience, supports abortion, and believes in taking God out of the country.  

Answer 5

Nope.

I fear more of having Barack as our president.

Answer 6

Very much. Reckless and horrible choice. That this could open the eyes of Americans as to how far the Republicans are still committed to the same policies that brought Americans misery and destruction, is an upside.

But the negatives far out way that positive. McCain's campaign is probably indeed over now and that's good news but that one of the mayor US parties is still strictly in the grip of the far semi fascist right is less reassuring and confirms the need for far reaching reforms of the American political system.

The Palin selection demonstrates once again the dirty secret of American politics: that semi-fascistic forces exercise near-veto power over the Republican Party. The New York Times reported Sunday, based on interviews with several top McCain aides, that McCain had all but decided to select Senator Joseph Lieberman, who was the Democratic vice-presidential candidate in 2000, to run with him on a cross-party ticket based on all-out support for the war in Iraq.

Top aides told him—reportedly relaying warnings from several influential state party chairmen—that there would be protests on the floor of the convention if he selected a running mate who supports abortion rights, like Lieberman or former Pennsylvania Governor Tom Ridge (a Republican).

McCain made the decision after his Democratic opponent, Barack Obama, chose Senator Joseph Biden of Delaware as his running mate August 23, passing over Hillary Clinton. The next day, McCain called Palin and invited her to meet at his Arizona estate on Thursday, where he offered her the second spot on the Republican ticket.

There is a strong element of recklessness and irresponsibility in McCain’s selection. He selected not only someone without any significant national or international experience, but someone whom he does not himself know and who is virtually unknown to the American public.

McCain had precisely one discussion with Palin this year, for 15 minutes at a conference in Washington last February, before calling her last week. His encounter with her Thursday, when he offered her the second highest position in the American government, amounted to two hours. Press accounts noted that their initial campaign bus trip—a six-hour swing from Dayton through Columbus to the outskirts of Pittsburgh—more than doubled the total time they had spent together.

With barely a year and a half in office as the governor of the country’s least populous state, Palin had been generally ruled out as a potential nominee. She herself told the Washington Post earlier this year that her selection was an “impossibility.”

The prospect of Palin, who has no experience and no known views on any foreign policy issues—or, for that matter, on most domestic ones—taking the helm as president may give pause to significant layers within the ruling establishment itself.

Answer 7

nope

Answer 8

NO Obama does, because Putin will make military moves against

Eastern Europe,

But I do agree with many of Obama;s even the tire one,

Answer 9

Not as much as Obama for president....

Answer 10

I think you'd find a very weak President with an administration rife with corruption. Hardly a disaster, but not something Mccain should had brought to be voted on.

Answer 11

not any more than a terrorist sympathizer.

Answer 12

No - but Obama bin Biden leading does!

Palin has been America's most beloved governor of its biggest state - leading 800,000 Alaskans (which is 800,000 more people than Biden and Obama have EVER led - together!).....and Obama's stint as a community agitator/fomenter passing out brochures hardly counts as leadership expertise and gives me ZERO comfort in his presidential skills
