Palin Is Ready? Please.

I like the way Palin considers herself a "Maverick", but is not "Maverick" enough to break the rule, and speak with reporters. I think it's really stupid o fher not to. Even if she isn't an expert in all the issues, who cares, if being an expert counted for something we would never have voted any president into office. Election day is ultimately about how many stupid people will vote for you. If republicans really and trully believed in John McCain, they would have voted for John Kerry in 2004, a Vietnam War Hero, that stood up for what he believed in, and helped to end a war. This guy Mylo Spams absolute non sense about Obama not being able to speak without a teleprompter. Are you kidding me! Teleprompters aren't some magic answer giving machine, they simply help you stay on point, and you might want to tune into the next debate, there were no teleprompters there, and it looked like your candidate was the one not looking so good. McCain is man that has tried to run for president the last 16 years, he wasn't good enough then why would he be any better now. He claims to disagree with this administration, yet he did not try to run for president in 2004. I am a very concerned American Citizen, and i don't believe that a man that saw first hand the brutallity of war, and yet is so eager to send troops into harms way to make oil tycoons richer is the right man to run my country. This November i will put my country first, and i will cast my vote for Mr. Obama. I really hope that America can do the right thing, and help get us out of this mess.

Failure of the Republican Party...

AP reported, "First lady Laura Bush said Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin lacks sufficient foreign policy experience..."

Obviously, for this comment to have been made, behind the scenes, those Foreign Leaders who met Governor Palin have informed the Bush Administration that they "...must be joking!"

John McCain has single handedly destroyed the Republican Party by trying to appeal to a single segment of the Party by selecting Governor Palin as his VP choice.

There have been efforts to politely ask Governor Palin to step aside, but to no avail.

So, Conservative columnist Kathleen Parker openly states that she wants Governor Palin to dropout.

The McCain campaign is an illustration of the adage, "You can put rocks in the oven, but it doesn't make them cookies!"

Educator1: For the record, John McCain and Sarah Palin are running for President/Vice President of the United States; Barack Obama appears to be running for "First Citizen of the World." I hope I speak for the majority of American citizens when I say I could give a rat's ass about how the rest of the world "perceives" us. (And oh yes, I have a JD from a top ten law school in the US.)

As I watch the Republicans swoon over McCains improbable choice of Palin over many more qualified women and men I have to ask, are Republicans living in a fantasy? I agree, McCain in my mind has totally betrayed the Country with this chioce. it is the most cynical act in my memory. McCain obviously thinks women are emotionally driven and tht they can't think for themselves. Had McCain considered the gravity of his choice he would have picked someone who could lead due to his incapacity or demise. Instead he chose to add comedy to the campaign. I also wonder why Journalists are treating this person with deference. She's obviously not capable of this job. When asked to accept the position i understand her first response we, "What exactly does the Veep do"? I further wonder if journalists are simply not responding just to cover their futures. I think is harkens back to the Pre-Hitler era in Germany. Had the journalists sttod up then WWII might not have been a two-front war. In my estimation there is real danger that we may end up with a woman in office that fits McCains steroe-typical model. If so America is over.

I also am a registered Republican from Texas, however this issue goes way beyond party politics, foreign experience and leadership abilities. Americans have every right to demand and should expect their leaders to display and hopefully have a level of educational attainment such that they are able to speak clearly and effectively, compose proper sentences and form reasonable opinions from analysis of issues and situations. Palin has yet to even moderately exhibit any of this characteristics or abilities! And we don't even to begin to know whether she can read or write. My mother frequently reminded me that actions speak louder than words - and I believe she was absolutely right! It is no wonder the McCain campaign is shrouding her from the media. The GOP better wake up and demand John McCain jettison her soon or the fallout in the party after this is all over is not going to be a pretty sight.

From the Couric interview.

COURIC: Why isn't it better, Governor Palin, to spend $700 billion helping middle-class families struggling with health care, housing, gas and groceries? Allow them to spend more and put more money into the economy? Instead of helping these big financial institutions that played a role in creating this mess?

PALIN: That's why I say, I like ever American I'm speaking with were ill about this position that we have been put in where it is the tax payers looking to bailout. But ultimately, what the bailout does is help those who are concerned about the health care reform that is needed to help shore up the economy. Helping the ... Oh, it's got to be about job creation too. Shoring up our economy and putting it back on the right track. So health care reform and reducing taxes and reining in spending has got to accompany tax reductions and tax relief for Americas. And trade we've got to see trade as opportunity, not as a competitive scary thing. But 1 in 5 jobs being created in the trade sector today. We've got to look at that as more opportunity. All those things under the umbrella of job creation. This bailout is a part of that.

Somewhere Senator McCain is beating his head against a wall......

Mylo..............you're dumber than hell. I can't believe that you actually don't know by now that Obama's father was born in KENYA, AFRICA. If you could get you're head out of Limbaugh's and Hannity's ass long enough you might learn the truth about Obama. If Palin is so great LET HER SPEAK. Tell me how she stands on any of the issues. You can't because she has never answered any questions with an answer that anyone can understand.

Does Sarah Palin reflect John McCain's perception of the American electorate? If so, he must think we are all imbeciles.

Calling all conservatives. I will ask again that one of you please translate the following passage of Gov. Palin.
