Palin Is Ready? Please.

It???s all kind of sad. It seems to me that America does not want smart people with wisdom. Which to me Obama & Biden have. America seems to like idiots running the country. I work in so called corporate America and I see the same kind of mind set displayed every day. Most people don't understand wisdom, which both McCain & Palin both lack. Like notroubleatall1963 comment maybe America has not had enough of President Bush. And seems to be ready for a Bush 3rd term, which you will get from McCain & Palin. I did not vote for him neither time, because wisdom which he does not have was obvious. You have seen where that has got us all in the last 8 years. Maybe that???s the way America likes it to be. This is not the America I once knew and loved. Voting Republican this time around is a big waste of time. I think if it does happen we are doomed. What has happen to ???We The People??? in our roots of our nation?
There is another fundamental problem with our nation. Our nation infrastructure is in shambles. Bridges, Railroad, Water, Electricity, Roads, Education, Airports, etc. These things are very important to an industrialized nation as ours. This is where money needs to be spent to create jobs. Both parties need to focus in these areas. People are not always going to be happy. But you got to start somewhere ???.

It's a sad day in our illustrious history when Saturday Night Live spoofs a candidate and doesn't even need to change the script. Tina Fey took EXACTLY what Palin said in those Couric interviews and repeated it verbatim.

Sarah Palin and John McCain are comedic figures from a sitcom or b-movie about political life. They're satirizing the US elections; they're a total farce!

And voters are STILL going to be hoodwinked into voting for the morons the GOP runs -- after eight year of Bush Jr., they still haven't wise up and had enough!!!

Astounding! We are the laughing stock of the world for this if we elect those two idiots: McCain-Palin.

We deserve to have our country ruined if that's the best we can find to lead us to certain destruction. This would be funny if it wasn't so tragic.

Excellent article, as usual, Fareed, you're right on the money.

Even in the wake of Palin's "debate" with Senator Biden, I agree with your conclusions completely. It was painfully embarrassing to watch Biden, a superb debator and longtime statesman, have to patiently tolerate this bimbo spouting Republican talking points and hich platitudes, while she winked and grinned at the camera and pulled out her stupid-sounding folksy phrases.

If Palin is a prime example of what the GOP and its supporters thinks is an electable female candidate, then we have a complete disconnect here with half the country and the rest of the world. She will impress nobody in the foreign policy arena. She has no economic knowledge whatsoever. She is simply a Barbie Doll dressed up as a politician, parading around licking her lips and flashing those peepers at everyone who wants to see her.

What poor taste, what a poor choice, what a terrible bit of judgement on McCain's part. Did his wife advise him to pick Palin? So she could dominate her? Cindy's another weirdo who looks like the cat dragged her out of bed each morning, what's up with her hair for god's sake?

Other than that, the GOP must have better females in its "troops" of politicos? I cannot believe that Palin is their best shot. Gawd - it's a national security threat. Our enemies will see how weak we are if those two are elected, and they will not hesitate to create mayhem as soon as they're inaugurated.

UGH. Get mediocrity and worse off the center stage of US politics. It deserves to be exterminated.

Day 5 of stealing Ohio's election!:

I saw in Sarah Palin a sincere, well spoken, intelligent person.

And in Barack uh Hussein uh Obama uh uh I uh I uh uh saw uh a uh uh uh u h.....

siriterminator : If you saw in Palin someone who is ready to lead this country or even share that responsibility. I've got a bridge I'd like to sell you.

siriterminator: You have not met Palin in person and you wish to follow her pied piper nonsense. That's shameful. If you saw a person who is ready to help govern the U.S. through these times, I've got a bridge I'll sell you.

EVEN MORE ON THE VOTER FRAUD THAT IS GOING ON IN KEY BATTLEGROUND STATES!:

DON'T SAY THAT I NEVER WARNED OF OBAMA'S NEFARIOUS CAMPAIGN!

And, Tanya, it's a Cheshire cat, which you'd know if you had a Harvard education.

Jeez, Tanya, all the stuff you stated has been in the public eye for over a month. So what? Being a mom doesn't qualify for anything other than being a mom. Give me a Harvard grad who has always worked for the public interest anyday. Did you know that Palin supports denying abortions to victims of incest and rape? Did you know that Palin thinks that dinosaurs and humans inhabited the planet at the same time? Did you know she believes in speaking in tongues? Did you know that it took her over 4 universities to get a stinking bachelors degree? Did you know she believes that witches can influence your life? Did you know that she usually refuses to go to Alaska's state capitol, instead staying at home in Anchorage and then charges the State of Alasks per diem for staying at home? Normal people are NOT what we want in leaders. Leaders are where we want extraordinary humans. And that's not McCain who graduated at the bottom of his Annapolis class and crashed 3 airplanes before th final crash that ended with him in a POW camp. The pair are embarrassing idiots. Give me someone with new, good ideas and fresh ways of looking at things. Someone who will be respected by the rest of the world and not by Joe Six Pack.

I tried to post this comment in relation to another blog on MomsRising and it was odd that it was not posted at all. So I am thinking that it was just an oversight so I am trying this again.

I saw the debate yesterday.

Did you know that Palin's family members are teachers?
Did you know that she is one of 4 kids and had to work her way to college?
Did you know that her and her husband had no health insurance?
Did you know that she is from a middle class family?
Did you know that her son is in the military?

I am glad that I saw the debate and actually had a chance to hear her.
She is a very strong, intelligent woman with experience. A Mayor and now a Governor. She has a strong work ethic as I am sure most moms do.

After watching the debate, I can say "Yeah, she's a working mom who cares about the United States. She can get the job done."

She is a normal person like you and I. She's real.

I decided to vote for the Republican ticket this time. In the past I voted for Clinton and Nader.

REGISTER TO VOTE. IT IS OUR RIGHT. THANK YOU.

That's just a terrible argument star3. Kennedy wasn't in his 70s. What reasons do you have that Palin would be capable to be president, or even vice president? Just because you like her and think she's "one of you" doesn't mean that she can handle worldly issues.
