Palin Is Ready? Please.

I don't understand why the conservatives are blindly supporting mccain and palin. Anyone with a brain and common sense can clearly see that palin is not fit to be vice-president much less president. We as American citizens cannot overlook the fact that mccain is in his 70's with a history of health conditions including skin caner and that he may die anytime soon. And the thought of palin becoming the president is scary indeed. We have to clearly analyze this situation and understand that voting for mccain with a high possibility of palin taking over will be detrimental to America and the world. As seen in her interviews, it is evident she is a total airhead and embarrassment and even dumber than George W. Bush. Is she the best vp candidate for the party? oh please! Someone who got a BA degree in journalism and went to several schools to get it is qualified to be president?? I think not! We deserve the BEST of the BEST and not a hockey mom who does not have a clue about America and the rest of the world and still pretends to have expertise in foreign policy with a lying smile. George W. Bush has put America in trillions of dollars in debt, with 2 wars abroad, brought up the unemployment rate to 6.1%, and recently wanted the bailout package of $700 billion passed. Hasn't the Republican Party done enough for America? To all the republicans and conservatives, grow a brain cuz it's obvious you haven't got one!

For someone who is so ambitious, she sure doesn't word her sentences very well. Gibberish!

As far as being intelligent and powerful in her GOP speech delivery, we must remember what was stated in the Holy Bible concerning the Apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 10:7-10:11. Especially verse ten (10) in this same passage. Do not underestimate Sarah Palin! Many in her mayoral city and govenitorial state have done so and many to their demise!

Fareed is perhaps one of the most thoughtful and balanced analyst out there. For him to now rise to the occasion and speak out against Palin is quite telling. It is clear that John McCain does not put country first. His erratic and risky behavior has finally gone too far. Palin needs to go, plain and simple.

Speaking of the debate this is what I would have liked to have heard. Obama with details come on now folks you are asking the "Change" messiah for a bit much. I thought the question McCain should have asked was well senator where do you intend to get the 800+ billion dollars (surely to run twice that amount) to implement your new health care plan? Sorry increasing the taxes on the "so called rich" business owners won't even touch that number as according to you that money will be funnelled back to the low and middle income folks in the form of tax cuts. Senator if I may insist would you please give us details on where this magic money will come from?

One of the most important questions that those who are smitten with Sarah Palin should be asking themselves is; "If anything happened to John McCain before the election, would Sarah Palin be my choice for President of the United States?" When confronted with any question that has not been pre-loaded into her talking points, she looks like a deer caught in the headlights and starts rambling incoherently.

Dare we say it - but McCain's risky move in selecting Palin for crass political reasons is, well, unpatriotic.

We need a president and vice president who are intellectuals! Not beer drinking buddies! Where has that gotten us in the last 8 years! Palin is not qualified for the job and those who claim she is need to stop the spin and "dumbing down" the american people! The majority of americans can see through this and most of those who can't will always vote republican because every time the "fear card" comes flying out they fall for it and vote against their own self interest. Palin should have known that she wasn't up to the job and should never have accepted, so I don't feel sorry for her. McCain;s judgement is flawed, he is an angry man who wants the presidency at any cost. I wonder what they are going to pull out of the hat in October? The world is changing we need to change with it and most of all be the leader. I have come to believe it won't happen with McCain. He failed the first test, when he picked Palin to be his vp. The interview with Kate Couric was a complete disaster! As Americans we should be deeply concerned. another point of interest, how can McCain claim he is a maverick who will reach across party lines to get things done! He never once looked at Obama in the debt last night. He was angry, hateful and attacked constantly, he did not look like a peacemaker to me. As americans we need to vote with our heads, please no more bushes!

whoops that was not millions it is billions folks.

Apparently four years in the US Senate and 8 years in the state senate are no longer sufficient experience. But less than 20 months as governor is. Sure.

And besides, if Sarah Palin is so experienced, intelligent, and capable, why can't she talk with the American people?

Palin isn't going to be any help to a president McCain and God help us if anything every happened to McCain. It's lunacy on McCain's part to consider putting the country in this kind of potential risk. She is inane.
