Palin Is Ready? Please.

The Right Wing commentators are finally coming out and stating the obvious - the empress Palin has no clothes.
Pick one:
a) McCain did not vet Palin - in which case he is a fool.
b) McCain did vet Palin - in which case he's a bigger fool.

Palin is a post turtle (look it up) and needs pushed off.

She needs more time with her kids and it's nearly moose season

These two video clips clearly showed that all these well-qualified & in the league democrat senators or congressmen/congresswomen were so SMART to say that there were no foreseen problems with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in 2004 and again in 2006? Senator Dodd now again adds the ACORN share as a condition of the bail-out plan, truly SMART & IN THE LEAGUE of the???
Okay, so why exactly is Sarah Palin not qualified?
Let???s see now???city councilwoman for 2 years; mayor for 6 years and president of Alaska Conference of Mayors; Chair of Alaska Conservation Commission; appointed Ethics Commissioner of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission from which she soon resigned in order to expose corruption among members of her own party; 1.8 years of governor of Alaska during which time she has replaced the entire Board of Agriculture and Conservation because of conflict of interest, passed a landmark ethics reform bill, used her veto power to cut budgetary spending - vetoed about a third or more of the capital budget; C-in-C of the Alaskan National Guard; negotiated a pipeline contract with a foreign power; even vetoed a bill prohibiting official gay unions because the judiciary had ruled that banning it was unconstitutional. Her economic philosophy ??? Fiscally speaking, the private sector can do a better job than government can do.??? ???I also just trust individuals to make wise decisions for themselves and families. I have a lot of trust in individuals. I don't trust government nearly as much." A true disciple of Adam Smith!
Gosh???how can this ever stack up against the impressive resume Obama has acquired over the years?
Let???s see now???Saul Alinsky-inspired ???community organizer??? who worked closely with the demonstrably corrupt ACORN group; questionable ties to the corrupt Daley political machine and unrepentant domestic terrorist Bill Ayers; 20 year-long membership in the church of an America-hating racist; shady real estate transaction with a convicted felon; got elected state senator in 1996 by using technicalities to clear the ballot of opponents; served in the part-time state senator job for 7 years, voting ???present??? over 140 times; U.S. senator since 2004 after his opponent dropped out of the race; since 2006 has been actively campaigning for the presidency of the U.S. Impressive indeed! By the way recent news alert:
???The Barack Obama campaign is asking Missouri law enforcement to target anyone who lies or runs a misleading TV ad during the presidential campaign.???
???Obama campaign has issued a decree banning all signs at a rally today at the University of Mary Washington in Virginia.???
Sound like a Marxist tactic, is Obama & Co. starting a culture revolution in the US?

Sarah Palin is the blank slate running mate, she was hand picked for a reason. The McCain Camp is being driven fast and furious by Neocon Extremists. We should all be worried about our freedoms with these guys in charge. Read this article by Naomi Wolf, it'll shed some necessary light on this subject. Then email it to everyone you know, esp. the low information voters who are taken with her folksy charms. Check it out:

I am a registered republican who usually votes party lines. McCain's poor judgement irks me no end. To think Palin would be a heartbeat from being Commander in Chief will not allow me to vote republican.

Like so many others, I have been having fun mocking Palin's responses to Gibson and Couric. I've been rubbing my hands with glee at the prospect of this week's VP debate, which I've expected to be a nonstop laugh fest when Palin speaks, especially when contrasted with Biden. But after seeing a video online of her 2006 debate for Alaska's governorship, I was forced to admit that her interviews did not fairly represent her potential as a debater. In the 2006 debates, she consistenly spoke grammatically correct sentences, gave focused and concise answers, and stayed on message, without getting tangled up in idiotic syntactical deadends. Given her recent gaffes, it's not likely that she'll erase the hole she's dug for herself, but I have to concede--despite my wish to see her flub the opportunity--that the possibility for a real debate is there. The Alaska debate had no cross-talk among the candidates, and the absence of such cross-talk in the VP debate is likely to come back and haunt the Dems, who allowed this concession to the GOP.

Good article. You are absolutely right. I didn't understand what she was talking about in the 700B bailout section. Also, the Putin rears his head thing is ridiculous. Hopefully America is seeing Barack and Biden as the leaders we need.

jeepmanjr. Fareed has his own talk show. Were you being facicious?

McCain is a just get byer is whole life. Not the sharpest crayon in the box. Graduating 5th from the bottom at the academy was not accident, it was earned, crashing 4 planes not counting being shot down tells just how bad a pilot he was. He should be ashamed that as a POW he broke and did numerous statements against the USA. He would have been convicted on the Keating 5 mess, except every investment and perk was in his wifes name, and that hasn't changed even today. He is erratic in behavior and has a very bad temper. Had he been President with the Georgia situation we would be on the brink of war with Russia. And then he dumps this religious zealot whose life is rather trailer trashy without the mask of her religion as a VP. She is unqualified to be every an intern in the house.

Seriously, Mr. 'therefore she must be destroyed" did you read the transcript of her response to Katie Couric? I mean liberal, conservative it doesn't matter - that response was utterly devoid of intelligent thought or consideration - it was, to be blunt, word vomit. You can't honestly look at that response and say "I want that lady to lead my country!" get real.

Listen Fareed...Do us a great favor and hold your stinkin' opinions until you get your own talk show. I get enough of this crap from Letterman! Just be an ordinary talking head and report the facts. Thank you!

How about Obama's shoice for VP? Not only does he spout out gibberish but he doesn't seem to know which side he is on.

Palin is not fit to be Vice President because she is simply not smart enough for the task. I concede that Obama does not have enough experience. His inexperience, however, does not mitigate her total lack of capability. The media has not asked Palin any questions that an average political science student could not answer. These questions have not been unanticipated and the Mccain camp has done its best to prepare her for weeks. The fact that she cannot even demonstrate a basic level of competence is astounding. People use the word "stupid" often to refer to someone who they disagree with or to someone who consistently shows bad judgment. Bush is often referred to as stupid under this definition. But despite his poor public speaking and erroneous worldview his level of discourse in addressing issues as a candidate far surpassed any level of competence Palin can ever hope to achieve. Obama isn't experienced enough and would probably have been better off running in 8 years. Biden is experienced but prone speaking without a filter. Mccain is a poor public speaker who often fudges facts and forgets names mid-sentece. All these candidates suffer from shortcomings that can be addressed. Sarah Palin however, is simply IQ deficient. She will never be ready. Not in 40 days, not in 10 years.
