Comments for Palins Words Raise Red Flags »

Posted By ameliog 1 year, 2 months ago in Political News

The country is understandably focused on the financial crisis. But there is another serious issue in front of us that is not getting nearly enough attention, and that' s whether Sarah Palin is qualified to be vice president - or, if the situation were to arise, president of the United States.

    Sarah Palin is hardly qualified to be mayor of Wasilla. If she did such a good job leading a town with fewer than 6,000 people, why did she need a town manager to do all the daily operations? How is it that the debt of Wasilla is well over 1.5 million dollars? She ordered that an ice rink be built but never bothered to do the legal work to purchase the property on which the rink sits. Furthermore, she fired the town solicitor because he would not issue a permit to the builder of the rink. She is incompetent and must be stopped at the polls on November 4.

      It's becoming horrifyingly apparent that John McCain had no business picking Palin as his running mate.

      This is his first decision as the Republican nominee ... think about that ... his first decision is Sarah Palin ... to me ... right there ... that disqualifies him as a serious candidate.

      FTA:
      The McCain campaign has done its bizarre best to shield Ms. Palin from any sustained media examination of her readiness for the highest offices in the land, and no wonder. She has been an embarrassment in interviews.

      But the idea that the voters of the United States might install someone in the vice president’s office who is too unprepared or too intellectually insecure to appear on, say, “Meet the Press” or “Face the Nation” is mind-boggling.

      The article also hit on the fact that Palin keeps saying that she can see Russia from her house, like that gives her some kind of foreign relations experience, infantile is the way he described it, and aptly so.

        In fairness to Palin, it takes time to memorize talking points. And she obviously needed every minute for this debate. No time to be giving interviews.

        She can see the moon from her house too, but it doesn't mean she's qualified to run NASA.

            bob herbert did his best to be diplomatic in his choice of words, but we know that mccain's handlers agree with him by their absurd shielding of palin from any open questioning. they just don't know what to do about it now.

              Let's see if Sarah Palin has her hair down during the debate. (to cover the ear piece they are going to give her)

                  This country has suffer enough. Mrs.Plain Jane is not strong to be the VP of this country. This is a joke to the people of this country and the foundation it was built.Republicans need to set back and let serious minded Democrat put the Americans back in the saddle. Its been a rough ride with the Repud. This is not a JOKE. People lives are at risk.

                    IF YOU ARE JEWISH OR CATHOLIC I DONT SEE HOW YOU CAN POSSIBLY VOTE FOR OBAMA. HIS BLOOD FATHER WAS AND ATHIST MUSLIM, THATS A FACT. THE JEWS WONT BE SAFE. IM NOT A JEW BUT I BELIEVE WE HAVE TO PROTECT THEM FOR THE SECURITY OF THE WORLD. PLEASE READ THE AUDASITY OF LIFE BY OBAMA, ITS SCARY. THERE IS A LINE IN IT THAT SAYS, WHEN THE WORLD TURNS UGLY I WILL SUPPORT THE MUSLIMS.

                    Are you questioning judgment of John McCain?

                      You had to love her debate for the Joe Sixpack;s of the world---Instead of having phone s.e.x. she was having TV s.e.x. as she winked and licked and did the little low half-hand wave, and smiled her way into the seduced hearts of the lonely hearts club slurping their beers at local bars across America---what a treat to watch. BUT IT'S THE ECONOMY STUPID--I'M VOTING FOR OBAMA and BIDEN in '08!!! You should too when you sober up.

                          She scares me when she goes into a library and tries to have books removed. That happened in Germany many years ago. I don't want to return to those days.

                            The alarm bells should be clanging and warning lights flashing. You wouldn’t put an unqualified pilot in the cockpit of a jetliner. The potential for catastrophe is far, far greater with an unqualified president.>>>>>

                            There is no excusing the ignorance that supports the mccain palin ticket.

                                  What is the big deal about Palin. A gorilla named Michelle just escaped from the zoo. That should be more newsworthy.How about the economically ,culturally and militarily incompetent Obama who is also a pathological liar,anti-America,anti-military,anti-white,islamic sympathizer who just quadrupled the Bush debt in his first 100 days than the 8 -years it took Bush to accumulate the debt. Obama is also dismantling the safeguards that Bush/Cheney placed that protected us since 9/11. Obama is weakening the US Military and leaving our people and homeland vulnerable and defenseless from attacks from within our soil or from abroad. All our enemies are mocking Obama because of his ignorance of national security,foreign policy and the importance of a strong military . The whole world is laughing at us. North Korea is ridiculing Obama by ignoring his warnings and Obama can't do anything just like Jimmy Carter.Al-Qaeda called Obama a house negro,Venezuela called Obama a poor ignoramus,Russia and Europe are ignoring Obama,Iran is giving Obama preconditions before negotiations and even the small time Talibans are threatening Obama and the White House. It is very shameful for America to have a coward,incompetent economically,culturally and militarily,pathological liar President Obama.
