My wife despises Obama, but seems to despise Palin more, thinking she is a “cheer-leader”. My son thinks she reflects poorly on McCain's judgement, and plans to vote for Obama on this one factor alone; although, he has since added “the economy”
My sister-in-law and my ex-sister-in-law talk the economy and say they can't believe he thought women would vote for her just because she's a woman. They consider it an insult. My mother-in-law, who was so excited about Palin, now worries that she's not smart enough to be President someday.
On the other hand, I love the woman, but I was going to hold my nose and vote for McCain anyway. But sometimes I worry.
I have faith in the American people, except sometimes I remember what idiots so many of them are that have the right to vote.
Well, I still expect them to come around, and i will certainly vote. That's all we can do, come November 4
Let us pray.
I'll add to my earlier post, unlike Biden, I bet Sarah knows j-o-b-s is a four-letter word. Does your m-i-l pay any attention to CSPAN, has she seen/heard some of the *genius* of the elected ones who roam the halls of Congress?
My son thinks she reflects poorly on McCain's judgement, and plans to vote for Obama on this one factor alone;
This thinking has me scratching my head all the time -- 0bama scores points because he chose a running mate who supposedly is ready to step into the shoes, should it become necessary, none of these folks can/will tell me just what 0bama himself has done to demonstrate that he is ready to actually WEAR those shoes immediately.
All this "heartbeat away" stuff and nonsense -- are those Americans who are truly using this as their measure when they decide doing so with their votes for House/Senate? Each one of those holders of office are in fact one terrorist bombing away from the presidency, each is in the line of succession, theoretically, regardless the long odds, yet I've never heard their intelligence, their readiness questioned. Sauce for the goose, after all.
