    Oh please, and you think the fifth grader, arrogant, elitist, no-position, no-value obama is ready. The only reason is still running is for the shield you guys keep on him. This is the lowest I have seen the press in this country go to protect the most inexperience and communist contender EVER.

    • Posted By: jarcher1 @ 09/28/2008 1:58:20 AM

      LOL. I've read Marx, Engels, and Lenin and Obama is a liar if he says he's a communist. Then again so is anybody else that says he is.

      Obama a "5th grader?" The man was Harvard Law Review Editor!
      Arrogant? Did you not see last night's interview? Who was polite, and who was arrogant?
      Elitist? Do you mean educated and knowledgeable?
      no position? I think that he has a position. You just do not like it.
      no value? Who sound more ethical and moral than Obama? An exceptional lawyer who could be a partner in any major law firm and gave it all up to help people in south Chicago?
      I know you guys like to call people names, but do you have an argument?

      Kathleen Parker, an early supporter of Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin, said Friday recent interviews have shown the Alaska governor is "out of her league" and should leave the GOP presidential ticket for the good of the party leave the GOP presidential ticket for the good of the party. Parker's comments follow those by prominent conservatives David Brooks, George Will, and David Frum who have all publicly questioned Palin's readiness to be vice president.

      And the above list of conservative commentators are some of the most prominent on the right side of the spectrum. Considering the facts and the commentary of these well respected journalists posting what they did, can you still look someone in eye, knowing that Palin could become POTUS, and say without hesitation, or trepidation that she is ready right now to lead our country after seeing Couric's interview with Palin?

      And don't give the BS that Couric was hard on her. If you saw the debates last night, Couric's questions were easier than the ones that both McCain and Obama were given. So if you think Couric was hard, what is she going to do when she has her face-off with Biden? Case closed.

    The prospect of Palin becoming VICE PRESIDENT, let alone President, of the United States of America should give all Americans great pause. We should all stop to LISTEN to her interviews, READ the transcripts, tune into the debate. There are 2 major questions to consider in this issue. One is being brought up the most - 'Is Palin ready?' But more importantly, given what we've seen/heard when Palin is allowed out of lockdown, we should really ask ourselves "If McCain has chosen this person, believes THIS PERSON is the appropriate choice for VP (to be 'one heartbeat away'), then who will he chose to be his top adviosrs when President? Who will he surround himself with in his cabinet? Who will he look to for consult, advice?" There is a lot of talk about preparedness to lead and presidential judgement in this election - is this an example of the kind of good leadership and sound judgement we want from our next President?

      Oh yeah! You sound real "undeided" alright. It's no wonder that qualities such as honesty and integrity don't register with you.

      You say that things have become "so complex" - so that let's say 100 years ago an I.Q. of 110 would have sufficed for a President, but now it requires and IQ of 140. Well, things aren't going to get any less complex, are they, if they continue as they have been. So what are we going to do when the requisite I.Q. exceeds the maximum level attainable by a human being?

      No, what we need to start working on is SIMPLIFICATION. Which means entanglement reduction internationally, and vastly reducing the size and scope of government domestically. Someone like Sarah Palin might be just what we need to cut through the Gordian knot of over-complexity.

      • Posted By: marksgershenson @ 09/28/2008 1:58:19 AM

        Thesaurus: integrity

        noun
        Moral or ethical strength: character, fiber, honesty, principle.

        The quality of being honest: honesty, honor, honorableness, incorruptibility, upstandingness. See honest/dishonest.

        The condition of being free from defects or flaws: durability, firmness, solidity, soundness, stability, strength, wholeness.

        The state of being entirely whole: completeness, entirety, oneness, totality, wholeness

        Based on this definition of integrity does anybody in politics pass this criteria? You might as well throw every politician out the door in my opinion. Because the standard of integrity based on the literal meaning, nobody would survive in politics.

    I have just viewed the interview of Sarah palin by Katie Couric - as a new Zealand ciizen living abroad in the Middle East, I suddenly feel very scared about the potential opportunity for Sarah Palin to be in a position to influence American's foreign policy decisions. Sarah seems to be a nice person, a devoted mother and wife, possibly even a sound administrator and governor of Alaska - but nowhere in this interview did I see the depth and the intellectual rigour required by a potential Vice-President should McCain ever become incapacitated. America - you should be scared, very scared...

    I think the Dems got their ticket backwards. Biden and Obama should swap place. Then we can compare Obama with Palin, and McCain to Biden. Wasn't Biden accused of plagerizing and was in the pocket of credit card companies? What does Obama see in this guy? He voted for the war resolution - the biggest "mistake" that Obama keeps pointing to. Makes no sense in his judgement

    Thank you. I have been amazed that all objective, informed people have not had this reaction instantly. Choosing Palin is the most irresponsible act I can imagine a candidate making. Nothing this unacceptable has happened in modern times. And I am not sure when times have been more complicated. I do not understand why there was not an outcry from responsible Repubicans. They are the only ones witih any real influence in this situation. As far as I know Senator Hagel is the only one who has had the courage or integrity to speak out.

    I do fear that some Americans will be blinded by this "fresh face" on the scene - be "energized" as if on speed, but remember, one must come down from that high. It's not pretty. Before McCain announced his VP choice, I was leaning towards him for President. And I've voted Democratic the past 2 elections (I'm single, in my 30's, have a mortgage, have family in the military). However, the idea of Palin, after listening to non-sensical responses to questions, now pushes me towards Obama.

      This is far more than a faith based issue. This is a person that may be trusted to the highest position in government. I admire that some women are as strong as Palin. However the type of strength that you list will not make me sleep better at night.

      Compare last night's debate with the types of question that Palin was given by Couric. Couric was playing softball with Palin compared to what McCain and Obama went through. The president that I select has to pass the media test (aka being vetted) for me and countless others to feel safe. And so far I do not feel that way with Governor Palin. Can you honestly feel that you are safe after seeing Couric's interview with Palin?

      If you decided to play the experience card, then, I am wondering why didn't the GOP get down on their knees and beg Cheney or Rumsfeld to be the nominee? They are certainly more experienced than McCain! Being ready is an issue of intelligence, knowledge, background, and judgment. These are things that Obama has in excess and McCain in deficit. As for Palin..., well, you know :-}

      • Posted By: moniqueO @ 09/28/2008 1:00:59 AM

        So, Sarah has more experience then Obama.
        Sarah is running for VP, Barry O is running for PRES. I think I would be a little more worried about the Dems choice and judgment at this point.

    The problem with the Republican base is that their opinions are entirely faith based. Facts don't even register. So this article, which clearly demonstrates Palin's vast ignorance will have no impact on them. But hopefully, intelligently written pieces like this one will reach the independents and centrists and we will avoid the potential disaster of a "Palin-and-McCain" administration.

    I am in complete shock that people are still touting Palin as a viable choice. I'm in disbelief.

    I think something else is at work. Perhaps cell phones are damaging certain peoples frontal lobes? Could anti-depressents be blocking someones ability to see ineptitude? Is there some form of subliminal signal affecting peoples cognitive abilities? Did you see the interview(s)?? I seriously think we need to research this phenomenon

    OPERATION SAVING SARAH
    As the lawmakers of Washington are getting ready to bail out wallstreet I call upon all American women to bail out Sarah from destruction. Sarah Palin, a mother of five is being sacrificed in the name of getting women votes to elect Mccain to the white house, currently needs rescuing. It is up to women of America to rescue her. The poor woman is confused and out of place. God knows how long it is gone to take for her to realize that she was being used and abused. Will it take a nervous break down?
    Her sheltering and hiding by the Mccain's campaign is yet the worst insult to her, her family and American women. As if she has some kind of contagious disease. I am sure she misses her kids and wants at some point to stop embarrassing her family, her Alaska and her Wasilla. Time is running out and it is running fast. Women of America, mothers of the land let us get together and save Sarah from the cynical Mcainic machine. We need to do it and do it quick. For our children, especially our little girls to not undermine the importance of education. For our young girls to not consider living in clueless land, to recognize when they are being used and know when to pull out of a situation and get the education necessary for a given position. American women please let???s have mercy on Sarah. Check my blog: http://mercy4usa.blogspot.com/

    I cannot believe Newsweek's obvious anti-Christian and anti-American bromides against a great American, Sarah Palin. Sarah is one of us, she speaks our language. She's a Godly person who is a servant of God, and she knows there is a plan for America and we must not blink in the face of Muslim aggression. She was in charge of the Alaska National Guard, and she actually is right next to our biggest enemy, Russia, whose leader Putin was actually in the KGB. How dare you imply that she is any less qualified to run these United States--she has run a state, which is more than Barack Hussein Obama has ever done. In conclusion, it is time that ordinary, America-loving patriots got a shot at being in charge. Sarah Palin will put Country First!

Try as you may to sound patriotic and concerned for America --but please get real. Every point you tried to make against Palin is an argument against Obama. And let's not forget the genious selection of the absolute jackass AKA -Joe Biden. Big mouth Joe will do what he does best in the debates--open mouth and insert foot. I can't wait.

      Clemson: maybe you didn't know this before, but the VP is not only the next-in-line if the pres dies. THe vice presidency is the second most powerful and important position in the country. As VP Palin would have to preside over the senate (although she has no legislative experience), and represent the USA in top-level diplomacy (God preserve us). It's a big, demanding, critical, rigorous, and incredibly high-stakes job, and Palin is quite simply not ready for it.

        Liberals are funny! Their Pres pick doesn't have experience or his shady past reveled, or his judgment of relationships with Terrorist and anti American radical Racist for 20 years looked into.

        But,

        Sarah the VP pick is a horrible choice. Riiiiiiiight!
        The only ones you are going to convince are already lefty lemmings that will only vote for a Dem.

        Most normal people see what is going on here and reject Radical negative people like LipStick Boy! Repeating "Hope and Change" is not going to get very far with the normal people that see thru all of his flowery crap.

        The Gestapo tactics of intimidation of Barry Os "Truth Squad" down in Missouri isn't making any brownie points with the masses. He is being reveled as a Chicago thug with the nickname little Adolf. This is getting good! Little Adolf, I love it almost as much as Lipstick Boy!

      What is frightening to many of us is Palin could be "acting" president, without the death of McCain. For example, according to The 9/11 Commission Report, on the morning on 9/11 at some time after 9:03 AM (when the South Tower of the World Trade Center was struck) Vice President Dick Cheney went down to the Presidential Emergency Operations Center (PEOC) the ???bunker,??? under the east wing of the White House. Once there, Cheney was in charge---he was making ALL national decisions including interfacing with foreign governments, the US military, all national security personnel and both houses of Congress while President Bush stayed under protective cover in an airplane. I can see Joe Biden assuming this role. I can see Cheney assuming this role even though I am not a fan. I cannot see Sarah Palin undertaking this huge responsibility. I base my opinion on her few, uninformed interviews with the media and based on her limited experience as a Mayor. She was elected Mayor of a town with less than 5,000 people with fewer than 700 votes. Couple that with her less than 2 year sexperience as Governor of a state with fewer inhabitants than the city where I live. Please don't tell me her duties with the Alaska National Guard have prepared her for 9/11 type challenges that Cheney assumed. Her National Guard duties have been widely disputed by the right and the left. We all know this is ludicrous. If McCain were ill, unconscious or dead this woman would become the next President of the United States. Palin may be enthusiastic, charming and engaging, but she is not ready for the presidency or the vice presidency. To try to compare Obama and Palin is comical. Simple question: how would Palin have done at last night's debate against McCain? Let's see Governor Palin's performance next Thursday against Joe Biden and make additional evaluations then. I maintain that Republicans are so enthusiastic over Palin because she represents the fading face of an old-time America: an America of beauty contests, large families, old time fundamentalist religion. Palin embodies the passing America that no longer exists and is vanishing each day. In Palin, they feel hope that they can hold on to that image of white, conservative, anti intellectual America that is vanishing before our eyes in a society that is becoming more diverse and problematic. Her supporters care little for her experience, her mediocre education, her lack of political savvy regarding international relations or national economic issues. No, they love the fact that Sarah Palin is the old fashioned girl next door, and they believe that's just what is needed to correct what ails this great country.That is a scary thought; isn't it?

    • Posted By: Cazador1972 @ 09/27/2008 9:41:33 PM


      You do know that the vice president must be as prepared as the president to lead, because he may be called upon at any moment to be president... Who am I kidding, you probably don't know that!

      P.S. Any concrete examples on why Obama shouldn't lead? Or are you just parroting a McCain campaign line that you haven't even thought about?

      Hi clemson -- this is probably the wrong place to ask those questions. But, to be helpful, let me tell you: Obama is the Democratic candidate. Palin is the Neocon VP candidate. (We can't really call her Republican.)

Women of America, mothers of the land let us get together and save Sarah from the cynical Mcainic machine. We need to do it and do it quick. For our children, especially our little girls to not undermine the importance of education. For our young girls to not consider living in clueless land, to recognize when they are being used and know when to pull out of a situation and get the education necessary for a given position. American women please let???s have mercy on Sarah. Check my blog: http://mercy4usa.blogspot.com/

    bond007taz, you've missed the entire point. And bringing up Obama vs Palin is irrelevant. This issue is whether Palin is capable to step up as a VP, and even P ifMcCain happens to cark it. Its a sorry but true fact that Palin - she just doesn't have the knowledge and experience as evident in the (whopping) 3 interviews shes done since her selection. This vs Biden who, on official count has completed over 100, responding in a seasoned fashion.

    I simply can't imagine what was going on in McCain's head when he made this VP choice. He's known for rolling the dice but in this case he came up craps.

    She needs to go or she'll cost McCain the election.
