What do you think about Palin ? ( Archived) (40)

The woman who advocates shooting wolves from a plane, believes that dinosaurs lived 4000 years ago and had her pastor protect her from witches. I find it impossible to entertain the thought that this person could be 2 steps away from being the Commander and Chief of the United States of America.

"God Bless America". If there is a god and He has a vote, then I'm sure that Palin will be back in Alaska being quaint and oblivious to the world around her.

I authored this thread, but please don't expect me to respond to any posts. I do not suffer fools.

Palin shouldn't be in office along with McCain. If they get elected we are just asking for the end of the world to come sooner. I don't like Palin nor do I like how Republicans use fear to get people to vote.

does it really matter? She is the best looking one in the race..... good enough for me.

That's a good of a reason as voting for Obama/Biden, come to think of it.

I am beginning to think I should vote the Geezer/Dingbat ticket. After all, things are going so great, why not four more years?

Well, here's what The Alaskan Daily News thinks;

Obama for president

Palin's rise captivates us but nation needs a steady hand

Alaska enters its 50th-anniversary year in the glow of an improbable and highly memorable event: the nomination of Gov. Sarah Palin as the Republican vice presidential candidate. For the first time ever, an Alaskan is making a serious bid for national office, and in doing so she brings broad attention and recognition not only to herself, but also to the state she leads....

Gov. Palin's nomination clearly alters the landscape for Alaskans as we survey this race for the presidency -- but it does not overwhelm all other judgment. The election, after all is said and done, is not about Sarah Palin, and our sober view is that her running mate, Sen. John McCain, is the wrong choice for president at this critical time for our nation.

Sen. Barack Obama, the Democratic nominee, brings far more promise to the office. In a time of grave economic crisis, he displays thoughtful analysis, enlists wise counsel and operates with a cool, steady hand. The same cannot be said of Sen. McCain.

Since his early acknowledgement that economic policy is not his strong suit, Sen. McCain has stumbled and fumbled badly in dealing with the accelerating crisis as it emerged. He declared that "the fundamentals of our economy are strong" at 9 a.m. one day and by 11 a.m. was describing an economy in crisis. He is both a longtime advocate of less market regulation and a supporter of the huge taxpayer-funded Wall Street bailout. His behavior in this crisis -- erratic is a kind description -- shows him to be ill-equipped to lead the essential effort of reining in a runaway financial system and setting an anxious nation on course to economic recovery...

Hey RW, still staying out of trouble?

The VP needs to be ready to step into the Presidency the day the oath is read. I'd be afraid, very afraid.
