Sarah may be “weak” compared to the towers of experience that is the DC insider, including McVain. It is precisely that she doesn’t have much of a track record that I hope she proves to be a pleasant & conservative surprise.

Remember Reagan and his lack of experience — Bedtime for Bonzo et al?

How about Abe Lincoln the country-bumpkin lawyer?

Maybe what is needed is not experience, but the right aptitude & attitude.

Granted the wife as the caregiver role is something to consider….

I’ve considered the following:
1) 1 Tim 2 really applies to the body of the church, more so than the public/social life
2) If the husband & wife are willing to “swap” responsibilities, I don’t have a problem with it as long as the children aren’t neglected a nurturing environment.
3) Maybe this is our “Deborah” moment, where men with a pair couldn’t be found to lead, so a woman had to step forward (Judges 4) and thus drive the stake into the temple of Barack.
4) No doubt that McVain, as a “conservative” would be as bad or worse than Dubya, President Palin is bound to be better. Better than even Condi who we once had great hopes for until her pro-choice, pro-AA bent was revealed and her dogged determination to emasculate Israel. (I say President Palin, because we all know it is the VP that pulls the puppet strings a la Cheney )

Barack is a natural born US citizen. His mother was a US citizen. I think if you don’t agree with Obama, disagree with his specific policies or proposals. Don’t continue to repeat racist Internet trash. BTW, I think for this time and complex world that we live in, Gov.Palin is not qualified to be VEEP either. McCain just repeated the mistake that the Dems have done. You don’t nominate somebody based solely on biography, there has to be some substance as well.

If Kathleen Parker makes up her mind based on Katie Couric’s hostile questions, and Charlie Gibsons inquisition…..that’s says more about Kathleen Parker than it does about Palin.

Parker wants more of the same robotic, wonky answers to adversarial questions ?

I thought Palin was fresh and original. Palin kept her cool, and it was a catty tit-for-tat retort to Couric who admitted to “belaboring” the point.

Watch that interview moment again…..Couric winks and admits to “belaboring”…
Couric actually said that word, and all Palin was looking to do was to end Couric’s exhausting “belaboring”.

The Unedited Gibson Interview: http://marklevinshow.com/gibson-interview/

Here is an interesting recent column of hers. A key quote:

I worry that [Palin] won’t intellectualize enough. I worry about her certitude and her slight offness. Whatever her charms, anyone in public office who thinks out loud about banning books might be missing some aces in her deck.

I worry about a worldview that might have been shaped in part by a minister who believes that Alaska someday will be home to Christian renegades arriving for the Rapture.

Ah, yes – playing the Narrow-Minded Gap-Toothed Knuckle-Dragging Stupid Christianist Theocrat-on-the-Rampage card. That’s the sort of bigoted nonsense we get in truckloads from the Far Left 24/7. Parker offers no proof of her allegations. Parker offers no proof of any kind.

And this:

I love Obama for his style, grace, intellect and his way with words. I want the healing power that an Obama presidency could deliver to this country.

Oh, brother! Yes – Parker does go on to rip the Messiah in the same column, but the upshot of her piece is that the Chosen One is too intellectual to be President (too good for the country, perhaps?). She calls for Palin to be replaced for her supposed lack of aptitude and for her religious views (do we now have a religious test for office?). But not He Whose Middle Name Must Not Be Mentioned, whose name will be on all 57 states.

Remind me again how Parker is a conservative?

Ah, nice try so called “BigDoddy”….by “non-tradtional”, I mean Barry Hussein barely qualifies as an American in my book.

I am for having higher standards and stricter rules on candidates for high office. Barry’s father and step-father were non-Americans and Moooslims and socialist/communist.

Barry Hussein attended an Islamic madrassa in Indonesia – those are well known as radical Islamic factories of extremism, hate and jihad.

I would allow only native born, US citizens, who’s parents were also native born citizens to high office. Immigrants (legal and illegal) often, not always but often have divided loyalties which include their old homeland.

I’m interested in US independence and sovereignty. Period.

Not a “trans-national” momma’s boy search for why daddy and step-daddy deserted his whacked out hippie mother and himself.

What makes you think I’m a Democrat or that I even like Susan Collins – OR like her because she sides with the Democrats?

What is this based on?

Susan Collins is a Republican. Did you even read the Wiki?

I can barely stand your condescending attitude. OF COURSE I KNOW SHE”S A REPUBLICAN. And I did not have to read Wiki to find that out. I guess you think everyone but you is an idiot. She has a reputation of quite frequently siding with the Democrats, but of course you know (but don’t mention it) and thats why you like her.
