In "Palin is a mockery," Sept. 4, Terry Holland states that the selection of Sarah Palin as a vice-presidential candidate is a mockery. I heartily disagree.
When I look upon the current political landscape, I would have to conclude that the Democratic Party's nomination of Barack Obama is the true mockery. It pains me to say that, since my initial inclination after the Iowa primary was to vote for Obama. As the process has unfolded, I have been made keenly aware of Obama's radical leanings, his lack of accomplishment and his socialist agenda.
In addition, it is clear that Obama is glaringly short on executive experience. Oddly enough, Palin is the only one of the four presidential and vice-presidential candidates with any relevant executive experience. She has run a city, and she has run a state. She makes more decisions in a week than a congressman makes in a year. If I were king for a day, I would elect Palin as president of the United States. She is highly qualified, and she is not afraid to rise up and fight for her constituents. You go, girl!

I bet a lot of people thought Obama was a post partisan politician and not a socialist. His use of vague equivocal language plus his own life story helped foster that image. He is no Harold Ford, jr
In my opinion Sarah isn’t quite ready yet but with a little time as number two she will be. She needs to make a lot of connections in order to fill the endless executive branch positions required by the President. Positions that need to represent her views and not those of the entrenched Washington set. That’s going to take time and a lot of work for an outsider. Reagan for example had developed those key relationships by the time he was elected President and could fill those jobs with people that would reflect his views faithfully.
As we all know that was one of Bush’s biggest mistakes. Not cleaning out the Clinton executive closet when he arrived. The holdovers instead worked to undermine him which they successfully did.
Well we need someone with executive experience. Senatorial experience is terrible to bring to the White House, and Palin is the only one on either ticket who has it. Someone has to actually run things, not just their mouth, and Obama, McCain, and Biden don’t cut it.
I have no use for such idiots. These are the kind of people analysts say determine the election as “independents.” Never mind that such a person will announce next week they are voting for Nader, instead.
I say they are the worst cr@p our electorate has to offer. And this one has a column people read for “intelligent advice.”
Read carefully what you write.
McCain campaign needs to highlight this, especially to those young voters. They perhaps can make an ad with a voice of a young man or woman, with a contemporary music, aimed to the 18-28 y.o. crowds.
Of course, this is not the case for those who share the everyday variations of 'collective mantras': /'my family has always been Democrat'/my folks always voted Democrat/I was raised a Democrat/was born and will die. . .a Democrat. . ./
And when I do hear these, if I have a 'friendly chance', I politely offer that there is NO Democrat running on the 'Democrat' ticket. (. . .there was a 'body' snatching here many Dems seem to have missed. . .Truth is; our Repub ticket is closer to the Democrat ideal than anything the Demrats have offered in the past twenty yearss.)
And certainly today, one can only fool oneself into seeing any Democratic 'ideals' repped by this Party of Radicals/Radical Progressives/or just 'Party of Marxists'/Communists/Maoists et als. . .
thats right.
McCain and Palin are more like JFK and Truman. Old time Democrats.
while Obama is more like...uhhhh...Stalin ? lol
True. Obama has been a Senator for 3 years and 8 months. He has worked all of 144 days.
Governors work considerably more, plus they have a state to run.
Heck, I thought community organizers were the guys in the “Orange Jump Suits” organizing the trash on the road into bags?
Yes, I lost track of my subjects: I meant to say, Palin is the only who has EXECUTIVE experience. Thanks.
“Heck, I thought community organizers were the guys in the “Orange Jump Suits” organizing the trash on the road into bags?”
If only his “work” was that constructive and innocent.
I'm thinking "Nelson Mandela with a crack pipe in his hand".
LBJ was very effective.

He lost it and they see week after changing with the wind.
AS Dick Morris says Those who count on Young VOTERS= LOSERS.
What happened to his 2 Million Zombies after Gustuv? GOP gave 1.2 Million
Nobama would have bragged about his donors. I guess beer money at school cut into it.
Sadly, you are right.
