Sarah Palin

[pam]

Sarah Palin seems no better or worse to me than any other politician, but..........McCain is 72 years old, a cancer survivor, like it or not he could kick any time. Is she really ready to be PRESIDENT? If Obama kicks Biden at least knows what he's doin...........if Obama gets elected he's gonna do some things I'm not gonna like....................If McCain gets elected he's goin to do some things I won't agree with. Hell, George still has time for a catastrophe so he use his presidential directive and cancel the election because of national emergency, take over and make this all a moot question!

As far as I'm concerned we haven't had a decent foreign policy since Reagan, so I don't see where experience has done much good. She surely couldn't be any worse then our last 3 presidents. I haven't heard or read much about Sarah Palin but so far this 'cutest little trick in shoeleather' seems to have her "big girl panties" on.

Well when faced with a communist/obama party taking control, or with the possiblity of a soccer mom taking over,
i'll take my chances with the soccer mom.

You should always wear your big girl panties.   From where she lives they are probably red long handles with footies.   I don't think we need to worry about experience with the second half of the ticket since we have that covered primarily.

I am sorry so many of you feel that you are not capable of being President of the United States. I for one am not happy with the last 30 years of career politicians. From what I know of myself and the people on this forum (and elsewhere) we are capable of leading the country. If we had the information that politicians do and didn't  have to sell our soul to get elected, I know many people that could set this country straight. Off my soapbox.
