So, Sarah Palin recently belonged to a secessionist party and has no clue what a VP actually does?

Question

and republicans consider her a "good choice"?

Answer 1

I would back off of her if they would just admit that this was a BONE HEADED pick. McCain screwed this up and now his Judgment is in serious question.

Answer 2

I can't wait to see Biden make her look like a fool in the debates!

Answer 3

She's a great choice.

She'll keep the media attention AWAY FROM McCain.

The Republicans are many things, but they're not stupid.

This was done intentionally.

All through the campaign, he's been doing anything and everything to divert the attention away from himself.

What's McCain hiding?

Answer 4

Palin may allow McC to cover for his real pick to be revealed closer to Nov. when it's too late to vet them

Answer 5

She'll back out within the month.

Answer 6

Yea she had to ask the anchor about "what exactly does the vice president do from day to day." I guess they don't teach you that on the basketball team or beauty school.

I wonder what else she doesn't know about the government like you can't fire the police chief because he doesn't want to fire your ex-brother in law.

This girl is a piece of work.

Answer 7

She asked the question about what a VP does back in May.  She said she would need to find out before considering the position.  I'm thinking she had plenty of time to find out.

Besides, how many people do think know what the VP does on a daily basis?  I'd stake my life that the number is very low.  

About your claim that Palin is a secessionist:

Who says so?  The affiliation she has that you believe is secessionist states the following (and their is no hint of secessionist ideals or plans:

Answer 8

I think McCain should put his "maverick" days behind him.  It's not obviously not working for him too well.

Unless Repubs really don't care about traitors, inexperience, and "family values" and vote for him anyway.  Which many of them may very well do I'm afraid.
