yeah i've heard that many times that on a clear day, you can see russia
Did I say anything about Mccain becoming president? No. All I said was that according to Rowen's definition, Mccain is an honorable man. so stfu and gtfo
Wow. You really think that I'd base my political opinions and who I choose to support based on their sex?
I never said that I liked Palin. I never said that I liked Mccain. I never said that I liked Obama, or Biden either.
I think it's important that if there are going to be threads like this, that the majority of what is posted be accurate. Believe it or not, there are people on this site whose only source for political information is NS. So yeah, if someone posts something, and I know it to be a rumor that's been twisted, I'm going to try to clear things up.
If you don't like Palin, fine. If you like Palin, fine. But at least get your facts straight.
Palin is in the spotlight because she came out of nowhere...people are intrigued. Many people had never heard of her before a couple of weeks ago and want to know as much about her as possible, whether it be legit, or just rumors, people want to hear about her. Everyone knows Joe Biden, and so far there's nothing that the media can use regarding Joe that will bring more ratings than Palin.
and now I'll attempt to answer some of your questions:
1.) is this lady really fit for office?
- What do you mean by fit? She's the governor of a state, that has been enough for quite a few people to get into office. I guess it is a matter of personal opinion, although I think people should check their hypocrisy if they say she's not experienced enough while simultaneously wearing their Barack Obama shirt.
2.) who the hell is she?
- She's the former mayor of a town in alaska, and the current governor of alaska (2 years).
3.) why her?
- Mccain needed something that would take the spotlight off of Obama, that would get him back in the race. Something that would make him look like he was a candidate for change as well. Someone who would bring life back to his campaign. At the same time, he needed a woman, so that the women who were voting for Hillary, who felt scorned, and still wanted to vote for a woman, had a new candidate to go for. He chose the most qualified woman he could find, and took into consideration the issue of energy/oil...and Palin happens to be a female governor in the state that holds the majority of our country's oil/natural resources.
4.) What has she done?
*see question 2
5.) Why wont she let herself be interviewed?
- because the mccain advisors do not think that she's ready. They don't want her to mess up or say something that they'll get flamed for. Also, this controversy is kind of over, because she is allowing herself to be interviewed.
6.) Why isn't she talking about any of the important issues?
- she is. If you don't think that our economy, energy resources, and foreign policy are important issues than I can't help you out with this question.
* the above answers are primarily based on my own opinions. If you feel that Mccain chose Palin for reasons other than those stated above. Don't flame me.
if MCcain were to be elected and then die while he was still president.... she would be presdient.....
i cant see that happening
