Palin Is Ready? Please.

Let me make this brief. There would not be any controversy if Sarah Palin were qualified.

Let me make this brief. There would not be so much controversy about Sarah Palin if she had substance.

Still you conservative morons parrot the empty accusations against Barack Obama because of his "alleged associations" with radicals turned terrorists.Sean Hannity, Rush limbuagh and the rest of the radical right, who essentially are "race-hustlers" and as the old honest John McCain was described them,"agent of intolerance"!!!.
In a civilised democracy, there's no place for "guilt by association". Simply put for you right-wing morons, if your father commits murder, you the son or brother can not be held responsible because of your "association with that murder who lso happened to be your father or associate!!!.Therefore Barack Obama can not be held responsible for the actions and deeds of his pastor(Wright & Pleffager) nor for his associates as a memeber of a board of a legally registered non-profit organisation!!!.
Secondly, the fact that Ayers was a terrorist when Barack was just 4 years old, never joined any nor been a memeber of any radical organisation;the fact that BO was a memeber of a church which believed in "liberation theology" which is protected under the USA constitution under freedom of religion and political expression; leaves us to conclude one and only one thing: the charge and attempt to paint BO as some black radical with terrorist associations is nothing new.Its the face of pure racism and intolerance propagated by the unwashed and unrepentant agents of intolernce like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity..That's why no honorable and decent folks listen to haters.
Rush limbaugh called Mexicans stupid. John McCain pastors(John Hagee, Rod Parsley) called for Jews to cleansed, the most disgusting anti-semtic pastor in American history;Parsley called for persecution of homosexuals,adulterers, waging war against muslims because of their faith and called planned parenthood as "Nazis"!!!.IF GUILT BY ASSOCIATION IS THE ACCUSATIONS AGAINST BARACK OBAMA; THEN JOHN MCCAIN GUILT BY ASSOCIATION IS EVEN WORST!!!.SARAH PALIN IS EVEN FAR WORST BECAUSE SHE BELIEVES IN WITCHCRAFT AND HAS PASTORS PRAYER OVER HER TO PROTECT HER WITCHCRAFT.HOW SICK CAN THIS BECOME:JOHN MCCAIN AND SARAH PALIN WITH HER PASTOR WHO BELIEVE IN WITCHCRAFT????

Why must we vote for Obama to send a message to black children? Why can't children in general see what the right thing to do is and strive for excellence... Why must it be a black/white issue? I teach at a school that is 99% black and I see myself as a role model for those children! They DO NOT see me as a color of skin but as a person making a difference and that is what they want to do. Maybe the world needs more people trying to make a difference for or people rather than just people who share their skin color!

Obama is a truly great role model for education, achievement, marriage, and parenting. He is especially great for the problems of the black family that the right continually emphasizes. So they now want to reject achievement and education as elitist. Their convention lionizes a prospective son-in-law who is a high school dropout. What message do we send to black children--and other children--if we reject Obama with his drive for education and achievement in favor of a person at the bottom of his class at Annapolis who chooses a vice president who attended some six colleges in five years, presumably because she was failling to do the work at them and had to move on. It is unbelievable. I would think that the right would fear that the Asians with their drive for achievement would simply take over America.but they can't even be consistent in their paraonias.

It is sick to see how mush the media has brain washed you all.... Try to find out what is best for our country no matter what party they are running under!

Palin is horrible, but the judgement that made her a VP candidate is even worse.

Sarah Palin is severely inadequate for government. I believe she won as Alaskan Governor on a popularity contest. Just my thoughts, anyway John McCain should be disqualified for his choice of Palin. Most Die hard Republican will defend this pick even though they know that Gov Palin is like a real life Legally Blonde Movie when she speaks on any issue of consequence, I'm sorry was that sexist? Look this woman doesnt compare to Sen Obama on any level so quit trying to compare her experience to his, she doesnt measure up and thats the truth. Sen Obama has a degree in Constitutional Law. Gov Palin a degree in Journalism just education alone he has a better resume than McCain. McCain's impetuous actions in not vetting his VP choice proves he shouldnt be hand the reigns of this country to let him shoot first ask questions later style ruin this nation.
Please put Country First and either fire Sarah Palin or just bow out the race altogether.. Country First

Why is the press afraid to report on Palin? Why did she go to six colleges in five years? Was the community college required because she failed? She conveyed nothing to her children about the importance of educattion, and the prospective son-in-law whom the Republican convention lionized is a high school dropout Why can no one say that Obama is a truly great role model for achievement, education, marriage, and parenting--and particularly important to solve the problem of the black family? . Why will no one say that getting a Harvard education is not elitist, but the drive to be educated that we are supposed to urge on our children? Why will no one ask what message we send to black children if we reject Obama for the bottom of his class at Annapolis and God know what at her six colleges? It is just unbelievable.

If one cannot argue a point like an intelligent human being, they should not post. Stop wasting the space moniqueo. Go dig a grave and then bury yourself in it.

Great article, it is too bad that most of the Republicans that comment here will probably be less informed than she is, sad.

Your commentary is great, keep up the good work.

Let's face the facts, McCain only selected Palin ask his VP running mate to one up Obama. McCain made this chess move as a result of Obama not selecting Hilary Clinton to be his running mate. It is clear that McCain made a huge mistake in judgment. Afterall he had only met Palin a few times and new little about her. Palin's interview with Katie Couric was so ludicrous it was embarrassing. This country will be in even more trouble than it is in now if McCain wins the election. He is 72 years old. Can you imagine what a disaster things will be in if Palin becomes the President. She is inexperienced, unknowlegdeable on key issues that are pertinent to our country's economy and interests around the world. She couldv'e travelled to Russia as a tourist for crying out loud. Afterall, she is the one that keeps reminding us how close Alaska is to Russia. She's travelled nowhere and knows next to nothing about running an entire country. Heck, she cannot even run her own household. Where was she when her teenaged daughter was making an out of wedlock baby? She needs to keep her day job and take care of her family. Leave the job of running this massive country to those who can handle it. McCain you really are suspect and should be held accountable for your lack in judgement. I thought you always put your country first?
