Conservatives Embarrassed About Palin (No. 3 in a Series)

I don't understand how people can possibly think that Palin is a viable candidate for VP. It boggles the mind. Everyday common sense doesn't only suggest but screams that she is vastly under-qualified, which nullifies any thoughts I entertained of voting for McCain / Palin. I find it frustrating to see so many people bragging about their intelligence and then miss-spelling, using improper grammar and, ironically, supporting Palin. She may very well be an intelligent woman but she is not qualified for this job and is certainly unqualified for the Presidency, should the need arise. Supporting someone because of party is understandable although, in this case, foolish. The ticket is simply not who I would "hire" to run the country I love so much.

I am a married, working Mom, an artist and I was an Independent until I watched the Republican National Convention.

Conservatives who are uncomfortable with the McCain/Palin ticket, and can't stomach voting for Obama - You may want to check out

He's got some good protectionist tendencies, and I don't see him calling for socializing Wall Streets losses- We need more than two choices that's for sure.

She would be funny if she weren't so sad.

I thought I was going to need reconstructive surgery on my turso after bursting my side laughing at Sarah Palin's interview with K.C. Then to top it off, SNL just nailed her!! I'm definitely going to need a better healthcare plan to make it to Nov. 4th. I'm deliriously impaired. Whoo hoo..ha ha ... whoo hoo.!!!

Extremely well said Mara!

bombem: Sarah Palin has been treated like a wilting camelia by the press. She has given almost no press conferences. She has given very few interviews. Katie Couric was unbelievably kind after her completely inane and embarassing answers to simple questions an 18-year old should be able to answer. No one has asked if her husband loves this country - the way they did with Obama - and if you look at the AIM website, believe me, you'll have a question or two about that. No one in the mainstream press has asked her if she believes in witchcraft or sorcery - after she was annointed by an abosolute nutcase. She is under investigation - but no one is allowed to ask questions about that. She makes up policy credentials - and the McCain campaign cries wolf when she either lies or says "I'll get back to ya on that." She is virtually the last politician I would like my 17 year old to model herself after - a woman without integrity, without experience, without honor, who expects to get by on being cute and, when it serves her, lying or being vicious. John McCain had his choice of wonderful women. He chose the weakest one he could find - to make himself look good. The problem isn't the press. the problem is Palin.

Sarah, step down. Your family needs you. Your party does not. Fantasy time is over.

Brenda: I don't know who you think "we" includes, but Sarah Palin's approval ratings are way, way below everyone else's. They are at 10%. This means only 10% of Americans approve of Sarah Palin.

Um Conservativeness, Sarah Palin is actually under investigation for being a crook, along with her husband. And I come from regular people (farmer, housewife), but if you asked them to name a few supreme court decisions, they could certainly come up with more than one. I bet you could too. Sarah Plain could not. I know this is politically incorrect, but I also do not know a single mother who would run for office while she had a special needs baby and a vulnerable teenager in trouble. Not one mother - from any background, color, religion.... there's only one word to describe a decision like that - ruthless. And don't tell me its personal. If you're running for political offfice, it's about character and the Republican candidate for VP has none.

Thank GOD Palin is no Hillary. Palin is a real American, not a big time crook politician. At least not yet. Billary will not let Obama win the white house. They know McCain is one and done and they want to get back to the business of ruling the world.

Obama is an underqualified hack spoon fed from teleprompters.

"I am just reading the National Revue of September 29, 2008 and I don't see any such article or comment by either of the names credited with it here today"

Probably because it was originally published Sept 27th.

That's what that hyperlink goes to.

I am just reading the National Revue of September 29, 2008 and I don't see any such article or comment by either of the names credited with it here today (above) ". . . that conservatives are embarrassed by Palin. . . " Please correct that notice unless you can substantiate it

This election will end McCain and Palin's political careers. McCain because he's turned into a raving lunatic and is nothing like he once was. Palin because she's shown that she is a horrible speaker and her skeletons will come back to haunt her. I don't even think Alaska will elect her to another term in office, if she loses the presidential election. You heard it from Rick first, McCain and Palin's political carers end on 11/4/2008.

Why weren't the jobs so important when your party had wonderful things to say about Palin? Was everyone in your party slacking on their jobs when they were ferociously blogging about how glorious Palin was?

Saturday Night Live has never been funnier!! Ms. Fay characterizes Sara Palin to a "T".

Brenda:
"...We are behind her more than ever."

Who is we? I'm a life-long republican and I'm NOT behind Sara Palin. I am infuriated with Sen. McCain for his choice of Sarah Palin as his running mate. I used to honor Sen. McCain as a hero and was in favor of him winning the presidency. Now I'm not so sure. I'm actually thinking of bowing out of the voting process come November. I cannot see myself voting Palin into office when she's that close to the presidency, yet I certainly cannot vote the democratic ticket either. I'm at a complete loss on how to proceed. I'm utterly disappointed.

"Vote for the party the media hates."

Don't know why we defend Sarah Palin, we all know how she is smeared. She is so human....most people on the street can't put two words together for a sentence, and they question her intelegence.

IF McCain were smart he would make history and change his VP choice.

And there it went again, a removal of a post. Wow, they're just busy little beavers at ABC News, aren't they?

I find it odd that a mediator for this board is removing posts, in particular, ones that seem to make good points in favor of Republicans... Hmmmm, there one minute, gone the next. God Bless America and the Constitution, unless you work for ABC News.
