No. How about someone who is more like George Patton.
“No. How about someone who is more like George Patton”
You’re durned right, my friend.
Isn’t it amazing - in this time when I daresay that the majority of conservatives would rate national security - and, along with it, the ongoing war - the most important issue facing the nation today, that so many of them are willing to accept a young woman with absolutely NO foreign policy experience (or much experience, PERIOD) to be one heartbeat away from a heart that is 70+ years old and on the shaky side?
Just because “she’s a woman”, and is “against abortion”?
Just because it would look fashionable to have a female on the ticket?
Pray tell, how does that qualify her to be a wartime vice president who stands a very good chance of having to assume the role of the presidency?
Do you have faith in Ms. Palin to do the right thing if Iran secures nuclear weapons and lobs one or two into Israel?
Frankly, I don’t.
There have been precious few women throughout all history capable of leading a nation during wartime, and Ms. Palin IS NOT one of them - she has done NOTHING to show that she has the stuff to lead the nation against the Islamic threat.
Being pregnant, finding out that the child she’s carrying might have Down’s Syndrome, then going through with the pregnancy has no relevance at all to whatever qualifications she might have to lead the nation. NONE AT ALL.
Ms. Palin may yet prove herself as governor, after a term or two. But she isn’t ready for the second spot yet.
And just to be fair, neither is Bobby Jindal (sp?), a greenhorn governor who has less experience than B. Hussein Obama.
Yet fools are pushing his name, as well.
Yes, we need a conservative in the second spot. Whoever it is, must be someone with a proven track record - those Carolina governors come to mind. But no smiley-faced greenhorns! And no women, not in a time of conflict.
