This proves that you have lost your reliance on yourselves. You expect the President - and the government - to solve your problems. This is a big change from the past!
Why couldn't Sarah be President? She's not smart enough? Educated enough? She talks funny? It's the way juviniles make fun of their teachers.
The whole point of the position of President is that it be held by an ordinary citizen. Someone in tune with the real problems of ordinary Americans. Many Presidents grow into the job as they do it. In fact, they all do. There is no shame in that.
But the most interesting thing about the Palin haters is the complete silence of the feminists. It proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that feminism is not gender based, as it claims, but based on ideology instead.
She is just a human being - flesh and blood. She stuck her neck out to run for political office. You might not agree with her policies but you should respect her guts.
I do.
Apparently, I'm not jaded enough.
Thank you Anderson. I don't normally like you at all. But this was a &*^()$)* devastating interview -- if not for the operatives -- absolutely for McCain. He should bid us all farewell and go riding into the sunset. He is not qualified to represent anyone.
ok. before i say anything, i want to mention that, as a person, as a woman, i ACTUALLY like Sarah PALIN... (in spite of the lying & the desingenuousness) as a fellow human being & as a christian, i find her engaging, warm, friendly, down-to-earth, etc. (much like Maureen Dowd felt about a certain George W. Bush when he was a candidate for the investiture of his party). i tell you: until the day i die, until i draw my last breath, i will remember that long pause and silence before Mr Cooper came out of his stunned state, emerged & came back with the (unbelieving) question "he [searched] on Google?!". i will remember that is how THE PERSON SET TO LEAD THE FREE WORLD (should an elected Mr MCCAIN be suddenly unfit anymore to serve as P.O.T.U.S.) AT A TIME OF UNPRECEDENTED CRISIS LIKE FEW OTHERS IN HISTORY, would had been chosen. you just can't make that stuff up. a novelist couldn't have invented it....
and thus also a man, whom i'd always greatly admired during most of his political career (whose very personal life-story is so compelling that you'd think it came out of a book), by approving the suggestion of his closest advisers & endorsing [then] Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate, proved to the face of the whole world that he in fact was unfit to govern as President of the greatest, most powerful nation ever to grace the face of the earth. i mean, if he couldn't get the choice of his running-mate right, what could he have got right?
