How was McCain a disasterous candidate? He spent 5 years in a VC prison camp while most of the older members of my generation were spitting on the vets who actually fought for their country rather than participating in those protest marches.
And you can complain about how the media treated her, and yes they were harsh, but she also gave them plenty of ammunition to do it. It also doesn’t help when someone from Alaska harps about socialism because Alaska has historically had one of the more activist state governments in the country and they actually take oil profits and issue a check to each Alaskan household every year. Now, taking the profits of a company and then redistributing them to the public, what do you call that?
I also question Palin’s ability to lead when she resigns 3 years in office. If she really wants to be President, why quit the job that your whole argument for the experience to be President is based upon? It does not speak well for her that she left a job that she promised the people of Alaska that she would do just because the fire was getting too hot.
I’ll be clear, I believe we need to go with someone like Haley Barbour, Bob Riley or we need to find someone who is an ethnic Catholic and who can resonate with ethnic Catholics
His policies are closer to Democrat than Republican. He's very old, too old to appeal to the youngest group of voters who in fact decided the election. His personality was also the subject of honest concern, he has a long reputation of being a hothead.
He would have been an OK President, but he stood no chance of winning against the charming Mr. 0bama and his teleprompter.
Nobody questions his military experiences. But is that all you have to show that he was not a disastrous candidate? He was a complete disaster who told us that we should not fear an Obama presidency. I voted for him only because Palin was on the ticket. Why do we need an ethnic Catholic? Please explain.
Please excuse my ignorance...but what is an “ethnic Catholic”?
Thanks!
And 'O' had a lot of experience?
McCain was a lackluster RINO who should never have won the first primary. He was near the bottom of the field. Without Palin, he wouldn’t have won a handful of states.
It is my understanding that the profits distributed to each Alaskan comes from ALASKAN lands that oil companies have drilled on. How is that wrong?
I fail to see how Palin gave the media ammunition that warrants the vicious attacks on her. What did I miss?
As for her resigning, how long could your family afford to pay for lawyers to fight frivilous suits? And, I’m sure you are condemning J. Napolitano and K. Sebelius, both governors who resigned to “serve their country.” So did Palin!
However, I do like Haley Barbour....don’t know much about Riley. Neither has a chance, IMO.
