Re: Political Poll - Is Palin ready to be VP?
Guys,
Listen up, when I first log on; my computer defaults to MSN as my home page.
Ever since the nomination, every time I log on ; there is some negative story aboubt Gov. Palin, in the MSN home page.
Does this not strike you as odd?
Is she that scary?
How do I change my home page?
How do I let MSN know that I did it because of thier reprehensible behaviour?

Re: Political Poll - Is Palin ready to be VP?
I sure think she's ready and capable.
Palin has got people so pumped up around here! Plus her aunt lives in the small town 25 miles south of here. That would be pretty cool having the VP visit so close someday!
My thoughts anyway.

Re: Political Poll - Is Palin ready to be VP?
I think she's done wonderful things for this election, and she's my kind of Westerner. But I still have doubts about her fitness for the vice presidency, frankly. If it were a matter of how much I like and admire someone, there would be no issue for me. Unfortunately, there's more to it than that. I hope she proves herself in the unscripted debate with Biden. I want to feel good about this vote on all levels.

The more the socialists attack Sarah Palin, the better I like her. I figure if they hate and fear her that much, she is bound to be my kind of folks.

Re: Political Poll - Is Palin ready to be VP?
If she is not ready, than by the same logic, Obama is certainly not anywhere near ready for the top spot (or even the VP spot). Taking your point to its logical conclusion, the only ticket you should vote for is McCain/Palin, since McCain is the most ready of the four.Bill in Oregon wrote:I think she's done wonderful things for this election, and she's my kind of Westerner.

Re: Political Poll - Is Palin ready to be VP?
I voted no.
Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.
History teaches that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.

I've got my fingers crossed that Sarah will kick Joe B's you-know-what in their debate and erase all doubt.

I'll bet that she at least knows how to say "Ute". Sorry....just can't let it go! She'll do fine, if not much better than the competition.

Re: Political Poll - Is Palin ready to be VP?
Lets see, we have three senators running and one Governor.
Each senator has done nothing but introduce, vote for and get passed one unconstitutional law after another. Raised our taxes right and left, and pushed through gag laws that attempt to stifile our 1st Amendment rights prior to the elections.
Then we have one Governor who has actually held the head administrative office of not only a city, but an entire state that bigger than much of the lower 48 states. She's in charge of a National Guard that bigger than some countries armies.
Gentlemen ... Sarah Palin IS THE ONLY ONE OF THE FOUR that is qualified to be president of the United States.
And that's who I'm voting for. Palin / McCain.

Re: Political Poll - Is Palin ready to be VP?
60 to 34 YES! when I voted
Re: Political Poll - Is Palin ready to be VP?
If "ready" means that she acts like a traditional politician and looks busy but does nothing, then no she's not ready. She's not ready to be just another unnecessary politician. She IS ready to actually make a difference.
In November, I think we will find that the silent majority of Americans is "ready" for Palin!
When I answered yes, we were winning 66 to 32 with the rest undecided.

Re: Political Poll - Is Palin ready to be VP?
Call me naive, but I or any one of us could serve admirably as VP. I mean, come on, think about it.....anybody with an ounce of common sense, a little knowledge of history and who can read the Constitution is up to the task. If Sarah ain't ready, then nobody ever will be. The worst part for her will be having to move to DC.

Re: Political Poll - Is Palin ready to be VP?
I doubt that anyone could ever be ready for either president or vice president before serving. In my opionion , of the four running she is the LEAST UNREADY, then McCain. Then there is a long long way wherethere is nothing at all, and the the children playing in the sand.
The man who invented the plow was not bored. He was hungry.
Re: Political Poll - Is Palin ready to be VP?
There is a big, big step up in value between the lightweight Congressional experience and the Executive experience she's had. Frankly, I like her style and tone. I hope McCain don't drag her in the mud too much as she is prime presidential material after a bit of time in the forge.....

If the idiot masses want someone with "experience" and that means serving in the beltway for awhile, then they will get the idiot-in-charge they deserve!
BTW - O'Creepbama has little "experience" other than the Chitcago political machine - as if that is a plus...

Re: Political Poll - Is Palin ready to be VP?
It is sort of ironic that the question of Gov. Palin's qualifications would even be asked considering the Dems are running a junior Senator with no experience at anything. It is amazing that all these conversations are taking place over the pending VP and not the Presidential candidates. I have a great deal more confidence in a common sense, middle American attitude than I do of any Washington insider, especially the typical liberal eastern or west coast variety.
Many people didn't/don't like VP Dick Cheney, but growing up in Casper Wyoming about 4 blocks from his house and being in high school at the same time, I knew his values were closer to mine than any Washington insider. Mrs. Palin will do just fine as the VP and, IMO, she would serve well if, God forbid, John McCain couldn't finish his time in office.

Re: Political Poll - Is Palin ready to be VP?
The left is making a big deal of Palin being "one heartbeat away from the Presidency". Well, given their own comments - and Obama's lack of ANY MEANINGFUL experience, here is my response:Meeteetse wrote:It is sort of ironic that the question of Gov.

Zero new ideas
Zero heartbeats away.

Re: Political Poll - Is Palin ready to be VP?
You know, how many times have we heard someone say, or read someone saying, "we need someone NEW leading the Country, someone from OUTSIDE of Washington, someone like US"? How many times have WE said something like that? How many of the Ron Paul followers said something like that? Or anyone else from any Party, just that they want someone new?
And now we have a chance to have SOMEONE LIKE THAT. And what do we do? We cry and moan like a bunch of school girls that have just been dumped by their latest boyfriend because that......well........THEY ARE SOMEONE NEW WHO IS FROM OUTSIDE OF WASHINGTON.
People need to get a grip and figure out how many times they've said something like that and then vow to never ask for someone new again. I know I will be looking for any such statements by everyone from now on.....
