Palin's view of vice presidency critiqued

Damn these liberal third graders and their "gotcha!" questions!

Go Sarah!

This woman has more experience than the Dem top of the ticket.
Picking on Palin- the left-wing liberal national pastime- has awakened The Silent Majority- and we will speak VOLUMES November 4th.

We want this straight-talking REFORMER!

The All Barack Channel- and the National Barack Channel- and the rest of the left-wing media have done everything in their power to "dismiss" anything negative from their "teflon Candidate"- The Messiah.

The Polls are wrong and YOUR VOTE WILL COUNT.
By their own admission, the pollsters have stated that they have been asking heavily Democrat voters.
This is still America- last time I checked. And the American people will speak November 4th.
Do not stay home- that's what they are counting on.
Meanwhile Obama's group ACORN is busily stuffing the ballot boxes with fraudulant voter registration AND outright voter FRAUD.
If you live in a state with early voting- take advantage of it- so that you won't wait in long lines on Election Day.
Vote with like-minded friends- CARPOOL.
We have to insure that the very fabric of our country is not-railroaded by these insidious people.
And please- as much as it may break your heart not to vote for "your" candidate- be it Hillary, Huckabee, Paul, Romney, Barr or Baldwin- DON'T throw your vote away by voting your heart.
This is a two party system and it's going to be either McCain or Obama.
We cannot have an inexperienced candidate with a questionable background who will surely (by his running mate's own admission) invite a disater like a terror attack on the U.S. or a nuclear strike by Iran on Israel- to "test his mettle." That's because these foreign despots dictators and MADMEN know he is weak and will deliver the United States on a platter to them.
Socialism- code word "spread the wealth around"- is just the beginning, people.
Have you not seen the children chanting "The One's" name and those black Obama training camps for young thugs?
Spend some time on YouTube or Google today and get enlightened. It is coming.
If we let it.
This cannot happen.
God Help Us!
McCain-Palin 2008 !

I really,really support Governor Sarah Palin because of her greater understanding of our economy and readiness to be President in the future.This woman is a genius and speak with conviction and true love for America and American Families.Is this one of Gods talented daughter reveals infront of our very own eyes? I have no doubt she's prepared by God for the important job for this freedom nation.Answering the third grader Brandon Garcia is all mothers answer for that lovely little boy and one of many American children with question they want to ask Governor Sarah Palin.

If BS were money, Sarah Palin could bail out Wall Street all by herself.

Her lack of knowledge and respect in relation to the Constitution is not surprising to me. Look at the leaders of the current republican administration ---- they regularly blow their noses with copies of the Constitution. Constitution! We don't need no stinkin Constitution. You Betcha, Praise the Lord.

To # 1, that was funny
#2--exactly what "experience" does Palin have over Obama---Foreign Affairs? Domestic affairs? Ethics Reform? Considering she can't even mention facts in her stump speeches, or take questions from anyone besides 3rd graders (and get's those answers wrong as well) I don't think she is that great.

"We have to insure that the very fabric of our country is not-railroaded by these insidious people."---HOW DARE OVER 50% OF THE VOTING PUBLIC DECIDE WHAT THE OUTCOME IS!!! Funny how the very people who have been tearing this country apart are not "these insidious people"

#3, I hope you are joking! She hasn't shown ANY understanding, much less GREATER understanding of any issues. As pointed out before, she couldn't even correctly answer the 3rd grader's question regarding the role of the VP. All she says are catch phrases and one liners, written for her. She doesn't dive into policy matters. She says things like "John McCain knows how to fix it" and then doesn't go on to explain anything about how McCain would fix it.

#4---how correct you are

#5--sad, but that seems to be the Republicain motto these days.

Seriously, skmj? What understanding does she have of the economy? In Alaska, she took the federal tax dollars that WE in the lower 48 contributed to the federal treasury ($1.86 back for every $1 put in by Alaskans) to fund the state, while eliminating their state income, sales, and gas taxes AND cutting them checks.

Ready to be President of the United States? She doesn't even know what the VP does! She's a laughing stock to the rest of the world. If we want any chance of restoring our national pride, we need her back in Alaska -- far, far away from DC.

A genius? Please. I could take her on any day, any time, any issue. But I went to one of those "liberal elite" schools - Ivy League, not five different community colleges - so obviously I'm an un-American idiot. At least I can name Supreme Court decisions and name a newspaper.

This isn't funny anymore. Sarah Palin's "safe harbor" is a THIRD GARDE CLASS, and she "mis-speaks" even there?
Jeeze, no wonder why she isn't allowed off the block.

Send the fool back to Alaska in November.

i am so happy that McRage picked Palin. guaranteeing that he would lose in November. good work John. ahahaha!

Wait, Foon, you say "Palin's view of vice presidency critiqued" but you don't provide a single example of who is critiquing it. So are we to assume that Foon Rhee of the Boston Globe is critiquing Palin's view of the vice presidency?

Glad to know how you really feel.

I read this blog pretty regularly. I'm sorry to say, you are an awful journalist.

It's not a partisan attack. I'm a democrat.

I am sure someone will say that this is an example of the media jumping on Palin and running her through the mud, but a completely objective look at this shows that when asked what her job would be, if elected VP, she got it dead wrong, and in a very scary way, I might add. This is not an example of any biased media report. These are the facts, and these are the words of Palin, speaking for herself to a third grader .... and the facts are dragging her through the mud. No media needed. Palin is making herself look really inept and a scary choice for office. I hope McCain does not win, but if he does, I sure hope he survives the 4 years, because a Palin Presidency would be scary.

Lets face it... she is naive, poorly educated and ill informed. She is probably a good hockey mom and a great PTA member. It clearly shows lack of judgment on McCain's part to select her as her running mate out of all the competent Republican men and women who would be suitable for the job.

She plans to not raise taxes, but re-prioritize the existing money? Is she doing a Sophie's choice type of thing taking money back by killing off an existing program and then redirecting it to some project she likes? With no new taxes, the money has to come from somewhere.
Or is she going to just pull the money out of her ass? If so, I'd pay $10.00 to watch that, and she could take that $10.00 and use it any way she wants, especially if I could deduct that $10.00 from my tax return.
Thank you Sarah,
Jerry W.

For those of you who are Constitutionally illiterate (aka "liberals"):

"The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate..." Article 1 Section 3, The United States Constitution

Sarah....Michael Jackson called, he wants his coat back.

SJB, I saw a bunch of critique last night.
My two bits....

Hair and makeup for the GOP Vice Presidential Candidate ... $5,000
Clothes for the GOP Vice Presidential Candidate ... $150,000
GOP Vice Presidential Candidate still doesn't know
what a Vice President does 14 days before election ... PRICELESS

That's funny Biden didn't even know under what Article of the Constitution the Vice President get its power. He too screwed up what the VP does in his debate with Palin. The difference is that adults where watching this blunder, not kids. It is quite natural not to get into specifics when speaking with kids; we all know this. Another difference: not one media outlet excpet the all reliable Wall Street Journal highlighted Joe's blunder. Stay intelligent America, look deeper into what uis being fed to you. Of just keep drinking the Kool Aid.

I would be ABSOLUTELY willing to give Palin the benefit of the doubt here, that she was using language that an 8 year old could grapple with...

...except for one thing. This is about the 4th time she's "mis-apprehensified" the Constitutional role of the VP vis a vis the Senate.

If you actually READ the Constitution, you find that the VP is the President of the Senate. Has no vote, except in case of a Tie. And, the senate makes it's own rules up, for itself. So, TECHNICALLY, the senate could establish rules that gave the VP/President of the Senate a more expansive role, but they havent. Throughout our history, the VP has had a ceremonial role, and that wouldn't change under a democraatic congress...

Her answer was factually correct.

But of course, liberals want to teach third graders how to hump, so they probably think Palin should've talked about death and the VP role when the president dies.

Now if a third grader asked Biden what a VP does, Joe would've replied by shouting..."I'm smarter than you. I bet I have a higher IQ than you! When I was in third grade, I was always picked first to clean the chalkboard because I am very intelligent.

I hope that all the people who stated that the VP does not have the responsibility that have been stated by Ms. Palin, go to their nearest computer or library and look up the Constitution of the United States and REALLY read it. Article I gives part of the responsibilities and Article II gives the rest. There were no mis-statement made. Even Barak Obama being a Constitutional lawyer would not argue about what was said.

Agnew, Quail now Palin the GOP can rally pick em, you betcha.

Gov. Palin was addressing her comments to a third grader. And she is telling voters that if elected Vice President, she would be insinuating herself in the Senate. Something akin to abuse of power. She doesn't intend to abuse power, she just does.

Jeremiah,

Thanks a lot for the half quote with the ellipsis. The full quote from Article 2, Section 3 of the Constitution of the United States of America is:

"The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided."

The part that was left out is, in the opinion of many, more important than the part you left in.

re: #20 above.....
I've always heard that "Ignorance" was bliss,
is "Indifferent" your new 'net name?
Your statement seems to substantiate that,
and you must be one happy person.

For # 15... The Constitution does state that the Vice President is President over the Senate, but it also says that they have no vote unless they are equally divided, which is where she gets this answer wrong.
