When Atheists Attack

Perhaps the scariest, most sincerely honest account of Sarah Palin yet. McCain's biggest blunder to date...terrifying to think of the ones potentially to come!

Obama has no more experience in world affairs, economics etc., than Palin. Where is all your slapping down about him?

If Palin is as ready to be VP (and possibly President) as McCain says she is, why are they keeping her away from the press and not allowing her to speak at rallies by herself?? I can only think of one reason:

She does not have the knowledge and/or experience to speak without a script. McCain feels her responses would hurt him politically.

Am I the only one who finds this really scary?? Palin isn't bright enough to represent McCain on the campaign trail, not smart enough or experienced enough to answer reporters questions or take questions from citizens, BUT IN THREE MONTHS, SHE COULD POSSIBLY BE THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES????

Because if she were smart enough, McCain would want to show the world that he didn't make a mistake when he picked her. He would want the world to know how experienced she is on domestic and world issues. But he is afraid.

And we should be afraid, too!

Let's not forget the real reason Palin is even on the ticket at all: MCCAIN NEEDS THE FEMALE VOTERS TO GET HIM INTO THE PRESIDENCY. This is the best they could do on short notice. How stupid do they really think we are?

I think that it is perhaps Shanejgaa that has fallen over the edge. It sounds like to me, Shanejgaa, that you have drunk the kool-aid and believe any and every Republican talking point. You truly frighten me.

S-C-A-R-Y

S-C-A-R-Y !!!

I'm not doubting that Palin is perhaps a wonderful mother or as a governor that serves Alaska's needs capably. What I don't like is that she is getting an easy ride to power. If she is a decent and prudent person, she should let the public test her instead of profiting from McCain's "Leave No Candidate Behind" program.

Hillary Rodham Clinton, Ron Paul, Mike Huckabee, Rudy Giuliani, Bill Richardson, Chris Dodd, Duncan Hunter, John Edwards, Dennis Kucinich, Mitt Romney, Fred Thompson, Tom Tancredo, Tommy Thompson. These people DECIDED to run for president, and they've fought hard and face much more challenges that Palin. Why should she get a free ride?

Mary Bono Mack, Lisa Murkowski, Kay Bailey Hutchison, Katherine Harris, Judy Biggert, Deborah Pryce. These Republican women have shown more expertise on issue like security, economy, and foreign policy than Palin. McCain could've picked anyone of them, but instead decided Palin is the best? Best at what? A popularity contest? A desperate pandering maneuver? Why should Palin get a free ride?

Everything about McCain and Palin is wrong, from exploiting American values and fears to gain power, to lack of ethics accountability in their campaigning, to lack of knowledge and empathy for real world issues, to lack of transparency in their operations and communications.

The McCain/Palin ticket readily accepts the endorsement of the Republican administration (a.k.a. the worst presidency in US history) while also claiming a platform of "Change."

Anyone care to explain that contradiction?

I want someone in public office who is different from me in being competent to deal with things of the community of which I am a part, whether local, national, or global, so that I do not have to with much less extensive resources.

Palin is a hick. So was Abraham Lincoln, but he was an educated hick, albeit a self-educated hick, of manifest emotional depth, acquainted with grief and and with the manifest and many ambiguities of guiding a nation in anguish, and self-effacing to the extent of surreptition in whatever religiousity.

Palin is amazing. Her competence is exceeded only by her intelligence, and her intelligence only by her confidence.

With regard to her faith, even after watching her for some weeks under public (even if well stage-managed and leashed) scrutiny, I still have little sense of whether genuineness (which well may be), disingenousness, or a lion???s skin on a small donkey or perhaps more aptly elephant or moose; or of her biblical, ecclesial, or theological knowledge of her faith beyond the local dialects and accents of her local church in Wasilla over the past 30 or so years and a smattering of other places of worship ??? and none at all of the Jesus, risen or crucified, of that faith.

On a clear day she can see Siberia, whether there are any houses there, and those as may be visible Potemkin villages.

I will concede that should Palin rise to the US Presidency it well may be the working of the will of the Holy One of Israel, but also well not as we may think, and not for commendation but for judgment.

Very agreed with colbyward, the anwser to you is Sam is a idiot!!

Comment: Sarah Palin is not an evangelical Christian - but a Pentecostal - so get it right - BUT if you have some old testament concept of God, if you think God thinks like you (WHEW!!!) - then ANY ONE IN THAT POSITION IS NOT QUALIFIED TO BE PRESIDENT OF THIS COUNTRY NOR ANY OTHER NATION!
