Palin Is Ready? Please.

This is to all the foolish C student journalist like yourself.......name a young politician that would do better having been thrown into the den of vipers all looking to get ya with little notice of national politics....Obama has had 2 years of answering softball questions to a friendly media .. Palin has done amazing well considering her conditions.....she has made the correct decisions for her state...she is likely to do the same for our ailing country.....give her 6 months of answering questions from your pathetic ilk...and she will have the art of dealing with fools..... your kind do our country a disservice.........2 years of softball vetting of a pathological lier like Obama............we don't need socialist leadership like Obama......we need an honest change in leadership....stop watching TV news and start reading.....we may have only one shot at this.

I am a 30+ yr old independent voter and I honestly have not much use for Dems or Repubs, but it has come to a point in my life where I truely have given up on the intelligence of people. Yes... we all have are biases and preferences due to whatever reasons be it from upbringing, lack of knowlede/education, but to defend McCain's pick of Gov. Palin as ready to lead when they will not allow her to even do interviews with media or townhalls with their own supporters is just blatantly absurd. I can understand someone wanting their party to win but when does a person who truly claims to love this country stop lying to themselves and others and just admit the obvious? Palin is not ready as the journalist rightly stated and the more peole try to deny it without offering any points as to why she is ready based on their limited knowledge and access to her viewpoints then it is time to stop the ignorance and be honest with yourself if you really do put our "country first".

How ignorant do you have to be to think that Palin and Obama are even in the same league?

Maybe a mouse would think Madonna and Shaq are about the same size.

Of course the mouse could be forgiven if Madonna can make free throws occasionally.

A year ago Obama didn't have have as much knowlegde as Palin does now. Too bad the liberal press is so prejudiced. In a few months she can be just as efficient at answering questions and hopefully she won't have to us a teleprompter.

As a woman, I believe in equal opportunity and woman's rights. I have been waiting for Palin to say something that indicates she is aware of the economy and foreign policy that are both in the United States and the rest of the world. So far, I have been disappointed. In fact, it has gotten to the point I can't hardly stomach her discussions on any issues. I feel embarrased for her. I feel like she has a pull string on her back that works great sometimes and other times the batteries are all hay wire. I really tried to give you a chance Palin, but sorry, your circuits are on stimulation overload and you aren't able to handle that. I hope any well being you have survives this as well as your family. It is is easy to want something so bad you will sell your soul and everything around you for it. It is another thing to actually be able to handle it when you get it. I am a traditionally married mother of 3 who believes in the right to life and the rights of the living. Let us hope we can make the life of the living who are making the choice, nice enough that they choose life for the ones they may be bringing into this country.

All you dumb rich, Republicans go find your own country, you've come to this one and ruined by taking advantage of your own dumb people you've held back for so long and don't have since enough to see it.

LET"S VOTE FOR DUMBNESS, that's makes real good sense. 46 percent of America is dumb as is well known by the world. THey said that when you dummies put bush in the office the second time. Look at where we are. Stop listening to these dumb WHITE people. I will call it as it is. You should be embarassed that you left this country vulunerable to the terrorists. You stupid people.

I couldn't have said it better myself. Regardless of ones political affiliation, you must in times of national crisis do what's best for the NATION. We as Americans have become so easliy distracted by "smoke and mirrors" fighting over completely meaningless things that we have failed to hold our government officials ot the same standard of conduct that we expect of any responsible citizen. As a military member I swore an oath to defend the US Constituton against ALL enemies both foreign and DOMESTIC. I fear my friend we have found the enemy and it is US. I think the far right of the GOP has doen to Sen. McCain what the Viet Cong couldn't, they have stripped him of his sense of honor and duty, and letf him a broken shell of his former self. The is NO WAY that the McCain of 200 would have ever choosen someone so clearly inept to occupy an office as important as Vice President. Would CAPT McCain USN, choose a person like Gov Palin as his Nav Officer or chief engineer? Heck No!! I am praying for all of them because we need whoever gets elected to govern with wisdom and compassion

This is not just a case of electing a president. McCain would be the oldest man ever elected to the job so his v.p. choice becomes more important. This woman is a disaster and definitely shows his lack of judgement. What it does show is that he is deperate to win at any cost.
