Reagan was an honestly serious and thoughtful man all his life, even when he was a "B actor." Palin is a lightweight clearly uncomfortable dealing with serious issues. Sean Hannity's interview of her from several weeks ago was just re-aired on his show. I literally watched her cobble together trivial thoughts in her mind in an attempt to sound like she knows what she's talking about. It's just sad that anyone would compare this woman to Reagan.
Her rise is a complete fluke stemming from McCain's devilish desire to shake up staid presidential politics, sort of like a schoolboy prank that backfired.
We just had a lightweight Republican president who just about destroyed the party and the economy, and then handed the country to the Democrats. The last thing we need is another lightweight, superficial thinker leading the ticket in 2012.
beckett, You sound like a male chauvinist pig.
Who would you suggest, then? We’re running out of options.
I'll compare her to Reagan anyday. She stands on her principles, unlike her running mate of 2008.
Does she speak as well as an actor, use to being in front of cameras for 30 years? No, but I trust every word out of her mouth. Which is far more than I can say of Mr. Hannity or Mr. McCain.
