Speaking of Hollywood, check out Ted Nugent on “Rockbama.”

Like Obama, Palin lacks foreign policy and national security background. But, so did John Edwards, Bill Clinton, Michael DuKakis, Geraldine Ferraro, and Jimmy Carter. (Carter and Clinton became President and, apparently, ignored the advice of their “qualified” foreign policy and national security background qualified vice presidents. They certainly had failed foreign policy and national security administrations.)

So, we have Obama who has linked himself to Joe Biden to gain the “gravitas” in foreign policy and national security. And we have Palin who can be a quick study in a McCain presidency where foreign policy and national security are great strengths. Is there any reliable evidence that Palin is not a “quick study” or that McCain will croak before she can get her homework done?

Obama and Palin may well have been “chosen primarily as a political stunt to drive wedges and manufacture excitement.” (A quote I read elsewhere.) Certainly, Obama would not be anywhere on the national scene had he been born white. Palin would likely be a mere “curiosity” if the governor was Todd Palin who has a wife and five kids. Would Governor Todd Palin have been nominated and accepted as a quick study on foreign policy and national security? Doubtful.

Politics is a not too distant relative of Hollywood. Sound bites, snap shots, posturing, tenacity, even role playing. Obama is playing the Messiah. Biden acts the wise Senate advisor. McCain is the maverick with fierce determination to fight through all comers to get his programs in place. Palin is the female American Gladiator, the triathlon mom, the Mrs. Smith goes to Washington. In my opinion, Obama is a political stunt and the Democrats fear Palin as being the real thing. Big difference.

So, we must get in touch with ourselves. What, in fact, is an “irresponsible choice” when we go into the voting booth? After all, it has all been mainly a spectator sport up to this point. Now, the cards have been dealt and the hand is in play.

John McCain has given us the task of examining our souls about “who” is qualified to be President.

Obama/Biden or McCain/Palin? I would vote for the McCain/Palin or Palin/McCain ticket over Obama/Biden or Biden/Obama. In the democrat ticket, I know all too well what I am in for: change I would never hope for.

As for Sarah Palin…she strikes me as an extraordinary woman on many fronts. I do think the following article by Heather McDonald is worth considering, though. Meanwhile, I am not sure that McDonald’s contention is right that no guy with her lack of experience would have been considered. I am thinking of Bobby Jindal, who is also rather remarkable, but light on experience.

Roye,

That was a good one! LOL

I have a 4 year old niece, who is the absolute apple of my eye. And if these assholes did that to my sister, I would be tracking them down and doing horrible things to them.

If this is not a reason to get active and to defeat them, I do not know what is.

“Scholars”, eh? One can smell the fear coming from the al Qaeda wing of the Democrat Party……

I didn’t think Hillary’s supporters would switch, but from the comments I’ve seen, apparently I was wrong. They are so outraged over the Dem’s misogyny they’re even celebrating the candidacy of a conservative woman.

Hell truly hath no fury like a woman scorned.

Gotta luv the New Politics of Hopenchange! Otherwise this election would get nasty…..

And as for the misogyny of Obama supporters – if I had a dollar for every comment that I read on lefty blogs suggesting that Hillary was running for President because she is a sexually repressed prude I could retire.
