Palin Is Ready? Please.

FINALLY!! Someone is speaking the truth! This is a no brainer folks!! Palin is NOT ready to lead. Every time she opens her mouth she proves as much. I thought McCain was about country first? That???s obviously not true???..his VP pick shows that. If McCain/Palin ticket wins in November???.Lord help us all!

So , you people are all OK with a guy that has a Radical anti American past and that his Harvard Law School Education days were paid for by Khalid Al-Mansour, a Black Muslim and Black Nationalist who was a ???mentor??? to the founders of the Black Panther party at the time the party was founded in the early 1960s.
"Al-Mansour has worked closely with a Saudi billionaire anxious to ???exert influence in the United States,??? Prince Alwaleed bin Talal. It will be recalled that the latter was the Wahhabi whose largesse then-New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani famously spurned after 9/11 upon learning the Saudi royal had blamed American policies for that day's horrific attack. Obama reportedly benefited from [his] help in securing a position at Harvard Law School.???

"New questions have been raised about Obama???s student loans and Obama???s ties to a radical Muslim activist who reportedly was raising money for Obama???s Harvard studies during the years 1988 to 1991."

You are OK with Radical Muslims having a huge influence on a POTUS?

You are OK that Obama???s former pastor Jeremiah Wright ??? who called on God to ???damn America??? ??? convicted terrorist William Ayers, and Frank Marshall Davis, a ???Stalinist black communist??? whom Obama described as a formative influence during his early years in Hawaii."

But Palin "scares you"

Go read the Washington Times on this!
and that
A leading national security expert has cited this exclusive report by Newsmax correspondent Kenneth R. Timmerman in an article about Barack Obama???s ties to controversial figures.

Gov. Palin isn't bookish or wonkish, she is a strong, authentic person who seems sincere about taking on both political parties when she thinks she's right. But she should know by now that she's not right for the job.
She should gracefully step aside, and if she does so without rancor, blaming no one, Americans will have great sympathy and respect for her decision.

The American people need to stop watching so much television and take a few minutes each day and inform themselves about the real issues facing the world. The war is a complete waste of resourses that can be used to build up our energy dependency, finace healthcare and fight the war on poverty in our country, Parts of America lool just like the third world. We are lucky to be having it so well, but we could still be a lot better. Sweden, Switzerland, Germany, and England have overall better healthcare for everyone. It's sad that we have some people with kids who believe we could drill our way out of this energy mess. Don't you realize it's a world oil market and it will just be averaged with the total world market? It'll take at least five years to get the pumps working, and how about global warming and the fact that many, many great high tech jobs will be lost to Europe and Japan with solar wind, etc. Nuclear is definetly and option also. No one listens. I've been writing my politicians and been hearing nothing except generic respones. No wonder why so many people don't vote. I will vote anyway.

Why? Because she wants to attack your beloved Pakistan?

Let's have Biden drop out first. He didn't know that FDR was not the President when the stock market crashed. Bush didn't know who the President of Pakistan was yet we didn't hear calls for him to bow out. When Tim Russert asked Obama and Hillary Clinton who the new President of Russia was after Putin, Obama didn't have a clue. The President of Russia, he didn't know anything about!!

The truth is that this sounds to women just like Hillary's campaign, when pig headed sexist men called for her to drop out so that King Obama could assume his throne. Not so fast, I say. Sarah Palin shouldn't drop out until all you dumb ass men drop out first. She's more experienced than Obama. He says he's run a campaign of 79 people so that qualifies him to be President. She's run a government of 29,000 people. Women are tired of unqualified men taking their slot.

I've been to Pakistan and India. It's not pretty. You still burn women alive. We women in the US want a female President just like African Americans want a black President. Women are 54% of the electorate. We should be represented, even if you men don't like it.

Mr. Zakaria, you are in fact the only journalist in America who had the guts to plainly ask Sarah Palin to call quits and spare the country!

I am surprised and dissappointed at how badly Palin did in that interview. She is smart, atriculate, and thinks and speaks well on her feet. She is capable of much better than that and I don't understand what happened.

Regarding qualifications to be president, I would be curious if historians can name any president who performed badly in the job due to lack of qualifications or experience. I can name some who did badly due to problems with temperment or lack of character. I think history has shown again and again that character is far more important than experience or qualifications that particular job. Whether Palin has the character and temperment and whether she has been sufficiently tested is a valid question. Policy knowledge may be the least important qualification for president.

McCain-Giuliani Ticket....

The Political Tradewinds are Blowing and it may happen sooner than you Think !!


Paired with Sarah Palin's absence from Friday night's Presidential debate, this photo-op of the McCain's boarding their campaign plane that afternoon for Mississippi is phenomenally awkward.

Given that the "visual vernacular" in a photo like this tends to reference the presidential and vice-presidential couple combined with the fact John, Cindy, Sarah and First Dude have been stuck together lately like super glue, this shot of Giuliani and Judy Nathan is particularly attention grabbing.

Typically, I would caution anyone from assuming, based on a photo like this, that McCain was even thinking of throwing Palin overboard. Considering how McCain not only trotted out Giuliani this way, but also lined him up against Biden as McCain's main post-debate spinmaster, though, it almost destines the photo to raise such speculation.

But then again, punitive acting out -- in this case, temporarily "elevating" Giuliani in order to publicly humiliate Palin for embarrassing McCain with her dismal interview with Katie Couric -- is also consistent with how McCain flies.
