Sarah Palin is John McCain's Dan Quayle

LOL, yeah right

 

Lol again. Think like a fish, don't take the bait. Mayor. LMAO, Peter, stop reading the Huffington Post !!!

 

When you leave out important parts of her resume such as business owner, Commander-in-Chief of the Alaska National Guard and Chairman of the Energy Commission you are either showing ignorance or bias.

 

Actually tensions between Russia and the US have been very low in the Bering Strait area, know where their lines are and there are no territorial disputes. Russian VVS and USAF aircraft often escort each other near boundaries, but the tension has been remarkably low since the late 1980's. In reality the USA and Canada have more territorial tensions than with Russia. Because of fishing, and somewhat spotty delineation of territorial boundaries at sea, Canada has blocked and or seized US fishing vessels, and once a ferry in the 1980's. The Canadian Coast Guard and USCGS have jockeyed for territory at times up there.

 

To try to attack Palin as unexperienced is laughable, and I think just a " pot stir " from Peter to keep things lively. There are so many positives about this candidate that to list them would be boring and come off like a cut & paste session.

Why are the Democrats so freakin bothered by this woman? It is because they are scared to death of her, and with good cause. She represents a return to conservatism, AND has a track record to back it up.

I'm still not taking your bait Peter, either are you, you pot stirrer.

 

As much criticism as Dandy Quayle got, what about Walter Mondale, the original Mr. Dull? At least Dandy Quayle got out and about, even if he put his foot in his mouth a lot. Mr. Dull was completely uninspiring, and he was the best the Democrats could come up with in 1984?

I do wonder that Palin will stumble in interviews, I cannot say I was overly impressed with her grasps of foreign policy, particularly where she expressed a willingness to go to war with Russia.

 

Afraid to say that she did show her lack of experiance in the interview when it came to forign policy, she had problems with the 'Bush Doctrin' as well. Now having said that it realy is something she can learn and as VP would have a ideal oppertunity to do so (Still think she would make a better Pres than McCain )

 

In no way did she express a willingness to go to war with Russia, thats the media spin. What she did was express the willingness to enforce the NATO treaty which says that if attacked or invaded, the other NATO nations must help defend.

The Bush doctrine? Defend America if we have knowledge that we are in danger? She handled that just fine after it was clear what the question was.

Yes, I do like her better than McCain. She has a long proven track record as a conservative, where Mr McCain does not. My beef with McCain all along is not a secret, but I have always stated I would welcome the Republicans back if they returned to the Reagan Conservatism that I believe in.

McCain does not fool me one bit, but his choices as of late, and his solid stance on positions that matter to me have made the vote for him much more palatable.

 

I will concur that we agree that McCain is the better choice, but I disagree on NATO. You can bet your breaches that if say, Lithuania is doffed off by Russia so that they and their Belarussian allies can get access to Russia's Kaliningrad enclave, France and Germany will wither on supporting NATO. The only nations that will support NATO 100% are the new countries in NATO, Great Britain, Canada, and the USA. The rest of them will only go along if it is them being attacked.

Yeah, France enforced it's treaty obligations to Poland in 1939, but flopped very very quickly whilst Britain continued the fight pretty much on it's own until June 1941 when the Nazi's marched into the USSR. Spain and Portugal will offer words of encouragement. Italy, forget about it in La Dolce Vita land.

"Sorry, but I've got to say it. How in the hell can anyone take Sarah Palin seriously as a candidate for VP? Are they friggen kidding? Are we going to wake up tomorrow and the RNC is going to announce "Gotcha!" it was all a joke? Mayor of Wasilla Alaska is mighty impressive, but you've got to be embarassed if you're attacking the opponant for lack of experience and this is what you're adding to your ticket? Doesn't McCain want to win?"

Well one it is very unamerican for you to have a view point different from mine.
But then I believe you are from an area that calls itself New England which means that you rather have a queen then a president and coming from NYC I would not want a Queen over me. Would never be able to sleep at night.

Well two The dems have a person who wants to be president with no experience and the republicans have a vice president with no real experience as well. The difference is one has to lead the first day in office and the other is just waiting for the other one to die to take the office of the president and in the mean time be getting an internship in the job as she waits.

Next point the hurricane has a russian name and is attacking Texas from Cuba doesn't anybody else see whats going on!!!!

 

It's worth noting that the only person among McCain, Obama, Biden, and Palin with experience in being a chief executive of a government is Palin. This is usually a prerequisite of sorts for the White House. To prove my point, just look at the facts. Since 1900, how many of the Presidents have been without experience in executive government?

 

Was not Kennedy the last Senator elected Pres? All the rest have been governors.

Yes indeed, the rest were governors or ex vice presidents.

 

Well everyone I'm not going to say much on this topic now.

Just remember that politics is dirty business. Before you go saying SHE'S not running for President yada yada people are digging into her past and lack of experience.

Yes, people are digging into Michelle Obama (who's also not running for President).
Ole Sarah's husband Todd is getting a lot of scrutiny as well (and he's running for neither Vice President nor President).

Just may turn out that she was not the best choice whether or not it's for legit reasons. Politics folks and this is turning out to be one HELL of a dirty election.

 

Candidates spouses being uunder the microscope is nothing new, back in the 1896 election McKinley's wife was said to be disfigured etc. by the opposition because she never appeared at functions. As it turned out she was chronically ill, which was not uncommon at the time.

Had the public known more about Mary Lincoln, I suspect he would NOT have been elected and we would have been deprived of the right president at the right time. Mary Lincoln was definitely loco en la cabeza, so much so that she ended her life in an institution. But she had NO bearing on Lincoln's administration and his performance as President.
