Palin's indecision

People are talking of Palin as an Annie Oakley. I'm thinking more of Anna Nichole Smith, am I ready to handle the money?

No big surprise here!
Obama/Biden 08

Sarah Palin should have said "Thanks but no thanks" to John McCain (not like she did the bridge to nowhere but I digress). Four years from now she could have been a real power in the Republican party. Now she just looks like a fool. I am not voting for the McCain ticket because their ideology is opposite mine. As a woman I am concerned about the "soft bigotry of low expectations". Misogynists out there can say "We tried to give females a chance with Palin and it proves our point - they're not capable". Ugh!

I'd rather have inexperience at the #2 position, vice President, than no real experience at the #1 position, Presidnet.

The only surprising inference to be drawn from the story ("Palin's indecision") and its contents is that anyone is surprised about this woman's political shortcomings. I think that most Americans like giving people a chance. But giving someone a chance to be a heartbeat away from being the most powerful person on Earth isn't like letting someone play on your little league team - 'just to give them a chance' .

She was out moose hunting so she was not aware of it. You cannot blame her for that. After all her family loves moose burger.

Anyone could ask 100 questions to any one running for office and they would get it wrong. Liberals always use drive bys and pot shots and always out of context to make a point. These people are blinded and never see the whole picture. When you point out thier malfunctions, they go to the next idiot snippet to argure. Liberals seem to be S.O.S. (Stuck on Stupid) Kati Couric is so lame.(ratings?)
Would love to ask Kati some questions....................

MaCain/Palin doesn't get it.The question one would ask all Americans is this, Would you really want Sarah Palin to be the Cammanda-in-Chief of this great Country.? She is only a heart beat away.She has no educational base to depend on, she can not even contruct good cammand of english language. She do not even know who she is. Sarah could not name one newspaper she read on daily bases. I am a republican and I have constantly voted for the party but, on this issue of picking Palin, I am through with MaCain. MaCain, you were wrong on the choice you made.You lost my VOTE.

Does this surprise anyone? Sarah Palin was chosen primarily to appeal to Evangelical Christians, for whom the only Supreme Court decision that matters is Roe v. Wade. The rest are irrelevant to these people. Never mind Marbury v. Madison, or Brown v The Board of education, or Gideon v. Wainright; there have been several important 5-4 decisions of the court just in the last few months, including Boumediene v Bush, and others that conservatives have railed against, and yet she seems to have been completely clueless.

I'm Canadian and don't get to vote in American elections. Yet I know more, much more about U.S. Supreme Court jurisprudence than Sarah Palin does. How can this be? I'm not running for national office in the US, she is. How can Americans trust her, or John McCain, who demostrated such reckless and poor judgement in selecting her as his running mate? Ask yourselves this on election day.

McBush's comment at the time was all the more striking coming from a former P.O.W. McSenile blows in the wind, he is erratic and unpredictable ~ as evidenced by his blurted call for a federal spending freeze when pressed at the 1st debate with Senator Obama. Maverick? Yes, indeed. Trustworthy? Absolutely not!!!!! Presidential? The opposite ~ he needs to find a good retirement home.

Oh Gee...NOT Palin... ::SMIRK::

The really shocking thing to me was that anyone with even the smallest exposure to conservative talking points would have uttered "activist judges," "legislating from the bench" or "[strict] contruction[ist]" at least once, and most probably some combination of these. The fact that she did not, seems to suggest that they hadn't got around to the supreme court in their prep sessions yet.

It's like having Barbie for VP!

And what's wrong with that? Isn't this a popularity contest?

And one answer to the question is, "Bush v. Gore, (2000)."

This article starts going good... then it kind of leaves you hanging. ENCORE!

Palin is a total JOKE !! How the Republican Party can come up with such a dim wit is beyond most American's wildest dreams. Can you even IMAGINE what this country would be in for if she was actually thrown into the presidency of the United States. It's down right EMBARASSING ! She even out shines Bush in the stupidity catagory.

at first i thought sarah palin might be just what this country needed, a breath of fresh air. but i have been appalled by the things she says, as well as her manner of saying them: delivered in that gung-ho, take-no-prisoners rural accent, her uniformed truculence is downright frightening. Her degree of smug certainty is so out of proportion to her life experience that she is indeed qualified to be Vice Idiot.

The Republican party picked her so that when McCain croaks of cancer, they'll have another puppet like Bush. She won't know what to do about anything, like Bush now, so she'll do whatever her advisors say, like Bush now. They'll continue their scare politics, like they are now with this bailout sham, and the ignorant half of the American public will run for cover that the sky is falling, and do whatever the beauty queen asks as she bats her lashes.

I'm sick of the lemmings of America believing anything the politicians say based on faith. They are LIARS. We let Congress pass the Patriot Act blindly, and now they're wiretapping anyone they want; we let them take us to war in Iraq which has just blown zillions of dollars (hey where's Bin Laden? [hey, when's OJ gonna find the "real killer"?]) and now they're trying to get us to bail out the banks who've sold us loans they knew we couldn't pay. They packaged them, sold them for profit, and now the banks that got stuck with the hot potato are getting their friends in Washington to slice it up and feed it to us. I am so sick of this political corruption and these elite crooks doing whatever we want with our money, trampling our Constitution, and getting support from the ignorant public by saying "we're on your side because we believe in Jesus too!" Enough already.
