You know,

Sarah didn't run to the McCain camp, and beg them to be the Vice Presidential Candidate.

The McCain political organization searched far and wide for the "perfect running mate" for him. And they must have passed over many far more qualified candidates than her. But for some strange reason they selected Poor Old Sarah Palin.

No, she isn't qualified, No, she is not very intelligent, she is not even savvy to the ways of Washington or the Press.

I'm sure that they encouraged her into accepting this great honor, worthy of it or not.

So I would not be to quick to vilify her, as to question the reasons behind McCain's political organization for selecting her ?

She does however reach the common American woman, an overlooked political demographic. Perhaps why she, with all her failings, was selected ?

And it's a shame, she was a superstar at the convention. If she could've backed it up on the trail she would've been Pres someday.

Did you watch the movie Bill, my guess would be no, otherwise you wouldn't have drawn these conclusions.

Palin's main issue was during her vetting procedure, she lied, a LOT! Ironic considering that she is such a Christian woman.


When being asked about her husband Todd's membership in the Alaskan Independence Party (a secessionist party):

Palin: He just checked the wrong box when he was regestering to vote.

Steve Schmidt: He was a member for 7 years!

LOL!!!

Teleprompter (or is that insult reserved only for Obama?)

I remember her boasting about her husbands membership with the USW during her speech at the convention, and how the crowd briefly went silent when she said it...........Moron didn't even understand the nature of her own party. I think of it as the first "WTF episode" in the Palin saga.

For about 3 months I used a picture (below) of Reagan using a teleprompter and reading from paper during a televised speech on my profile pic on FaceBook. People actually raged on me and tried to get me to change it. Some "unfriended" me. It was hilarious. Dumbasses.

While I in NO WAY endorse her as a Vice Presidential Candidate, nor do I believe she is qualified for it in may ways.

I did hear that Todd joined the Alaskan Independence Party, as I ounce belonged to the Democratic Party. The only way to find out what an organization truly represents, is to join it, and ounce you realize what the organization really represents, you can either stay or leave it.

I have not been a registered member of the Democratic Party for over 35 years, yet I still receive mail and phone calls from them. Could I still be considered a member of that party ?

Ummm, yeah, pretty close comparison, Alaskan Independence Party and being a Dem.

I don't think you have to worry about that democratic party anymore, I'm pretty sure they won't take you back. My understanding is, they do have standards.

Saint Ronnie...........

If he was here to see what a collection of bozos his party has become today...........His comments could be interesting. He might not speak on it in public, but, I'm sure it would be interesting.
