I know there are many Republicans, Independents and, of course, Democrats who are baffled by Senator McCain's choice of Governor Palin as his running mate.
In the past, the Senator (whom I know personally and like) has admitted to making decisions without thinking them through sufficiently. He just lives with the consequences, he said.
Now, of course, if he's elected, we live with the consequences.
I hope for everyone's sake he spends more time thinking. In other words, to paraphrase Sarah Palin, I'm not worried about how much our leaders blink, I'm worried about how much they think. Unless people on all sides blink, it seems to be the case, we get wars.
All of this talk of God's plan from Governor Palin makes me and millions of others, I'm sure, very uneasy.
Was it God's plan that we had 9/11 or the holocaust?
To tell us there's an island in Alaska where you can see Russia, suggesting, I guess, that that's some kind of qualification for high office is frightening. When I'm in New York, I can see New York and New Jersey. But in my wildest dreams, I don't see me running for office in either state, I promise you.
It doesn't get more serious than running for Vice President and taking on the responsibility for countless millions of lives – and yet in my lifetime, I've never heard sillier or more frightening talk.
Again I think of General Eisenhower, who believed in waiting as long as possible before he made a decision as general and president. He took ridicule for it too, often being referred to as President “Eisenhowever.” I liked his opponent, Adlai Stevenson, and I liked Ike.
When you're talking about our presidency or vice presidency, you better have serious, thoughtful people, and too often that just isn't the case.
I think he means the Democrats should have thought much more than a bit harder before they chose Obama. LOL.
Wow, I'm so proud of Charles, he made a rhyme! Is he trying to be like Jesse Jackson?
susie
Who??? I just love it when liberals are telling us in how to choose our candidates.
Grodin... Grodin... Grodin...
Oh yeah. Didn’t he have a radio show once?
Every 4 years, Grodin tries to pump up his erzatz acting career. Like clockwork.
Hey Chuck, please explain Joe Biden.
When I’m in New York, I can see New York and New Jersey.
yeah every day we New Yorkers think about what would happen if New jersey decided to lob a few nukes at us
Wow a third rate actor who had a failed talk show. Gee...I guess I should listen to his opinion!
Well, look at the dismal effect she’s had on the campaign! I’m sure he’s really depressed that he picked her now....
I'd like to know what Mr. Grodin's credentials are in respect to: Being a member of a city council, mayor, and Governor.
At least those are positions that Mrs. Palin actually held.
And we are supposed to care, why? Mr Grodin.
If Charles Grodin - the man who decided to "star" in Beethoven's 2nd and Ishtar - questions your ability to make a decision, you're on the right path.
Amazing..and the libs say McCain is out of touch..just unreal..
The problem is that “these people” do not understand “common Americans”...we will prevail!
Ahem, “she.”
Charles Grodin?? The faggy has-been actor? Who the hell cares?
The best reason to elect McCaine is that it will piss all these people off....
Charles Grodin is still alive? Honestly, I thought he was gone.
