Should Palin Drop Out?

Ive said this since day one that I have a feeling she will leave the race weeks before voting but now im not the only one saying this and over the weeks, Palin has proving to me that she doesnt appear to know what the heck she is talking about half the time appears to not know nothing at all. When asked questions she avoids them all together and so much so that McCain Camp. is limiting her interviews. Anyway heres an article from the news (aol).

A conservative columnist who welcomed Sarah Palin's entry in national politics says she's proven to be a dud and should step aside as John McCain's running mate.

Kathleen Parker, writing in the National Review Online, says her "cringe reflex is exhausted" after watching the Alaska governor stumble through TV interviews and it's become clear to her that Palin is out of her league.

I know this person isnt the world or the aol poll isnt the world as well, its opinions.

Definitely. She has no place in politics.

As long as shes not in the white house I don't really care.

Should she? Yes. Will she? No.

If McCain wins and dies somehow, she'll be the ruler of the free world and she hasn't even been a senator before.

She shouldn't have been picked in the first place.

If McCain wins and dies somehow, she'll be the ruler of the free world and she hasn't even been a senator before.

She has a lack of experience, particularly with foreign affairs.

:o BUT SHE LIVES BY RUSSIA!

Yes, not only does she seem to not be qualified at all.. But she is EXTREMELY religious, normally I don't care but when I hear such things if she can hold on to rational thought through the religion.. But some of the stuff she has said is bat ****, I just don't feel comfortable specially when McCain has a chance of dieing during his presidency.. She has been even saying that she believes in a end time is near.. When I see this kind of thing, thats a instant no qualification..

Obama is well read up though.. Palin didn't even know the Bush Doctrine.. This alone shows that not only she has lack of experience but she has absolutely no clue.

Dude, lol, i knew you would use that argument of Obama having a lack of experience too: he has been more than a mayor.

We're not just talking about Palin being vice president either. We're talking about her possibly becoming thee President.

Allow me to reiterate that: the president of the united states, not not the vice or whatever.

I don't think he fully knows what he's trying to say.

Senators sit behind desks all day when they aren't standing behind a podium all day talking about how to bankrupt America all day... or reading from a phone book...

Unless they're running for president... all day...

Excuse me? I know clearly what I'm trying to say and I don't have to add cynicism to it.

And since when did being well-read up on foreign policy constitute experience?

Its not just about being read up on foreign policy I think its also about going to these different countries and communicating with the world leaders as well.

I doubt she will. She has gotten this far despite the fact that she is highly unexperienced and is in know way suitable to be our next VP. Were just gonna have to hope that Obama wins to keep her out of office.honkyjoe

Completely agree, I have no idea how she even became the governor of alaska.

And from what I know about her, she does seem to have more experience than Obama. The office of President is an executive position, and she has executive experience from her position as Governor and Mayor of a town. In my opinion, executive experiance trumps legislative experience when running for an executive position.

Now I'm not saying that if she took over in the tragic event of McCain's death, which some people seem to take for granted as going to happen, but I doubt the world will explode either.

I never argued that well read = experience.. My point being is she didn't know something that was key in HER party going on 8 years now.. By this time she should have KNOWN everything there is about it..

Palin knew the Bush doctrine. She just didn't know it was called "the bush doctrine". This is another silly left wing media wannabe gotcha moment. Palin will not drop out. If anyone drops, it's the super gaff machine Biden. Biden actually said Hillary would have been a better VP pick. He also told a man in a wheel chair to stand up. He has also insulted a campaign add of his running mate. Also, I actually think Biden will drop out. Every single day brings multiple Biden gaffs. Imagine Palin or McCain goofing up every day like this. We would never hear the end of i. Biden said during the great depression that Roosevelt went on tv to reassure the people. Well Roosevelt was not the President and there was no TV at that time. Hilarious. This thread is hilarious.Trashface

Wait.. So you defend Palin, then do the exact same tactic on the opposite parties running mate of smear tactics? Bit hypocritical you think?

Anyway, just because she didn't know the official name of the policy does not mean she didn't know it. Again, I admit that it didn't look good, but I think people in general make too much of it...

And when has Obama ever had control of the National Guard as Palin has. This entire thread is incredibly silly. Palin is what made this election close and she still has very strong support.

Well we will know for certain at the debate.. IN all honesty I just think she is too extreme religious for my taste, coupled with the fact that she may become president due to McCain's failing health.. I just think its not worth the risk, regardless of what party she is affiliated with.

Palin has never said that someone else would have made a better pcik, so no its not hypocritical. Also in the past Biden has bragged about his IQ. That makes his Roosevelt gaff even funnier.

I see, so one can not show modesty now? ANd if they do they are seen as incompetent?

she has a knocked up (still hot) daughter with a "thuggish" boyfriend, an autistic child (dont blame nobody for that), a son that joined the military on 9/11 but 5 years too late (think it was like 2006), she can't speak in interviews, and anybody as conservative as her HAS something to hide! if mccain was smart, pick a different mateSports_N_E_1

I'm speechless. Well.....this explains the poll results. Mindlessness.

Modesty. Biden has constantly been arrogant and condescending. Also, intelligence is not saying someone would have made a better pick when youre trying to energize your campaign. I think he will drop out early november.

I highly doubt either canidate will drop out of the election now.

If McCain wants to win, she will have to.

Next weeks debate will be very sad. Joe Biden is even a better debater than Obama.

He is really quick and smart. As for Sarah Palin.... she is very umm yeah lol.

When The National Review, which is as right wing as it can possibly get, calls for Sarah Palin to drop out... She needs to drop out.

Well we will know for certain at the debate.. IN all honesty I just think she is too extreme religious for my taste, coupled with the fact that she may become president due to McCain's failing health.. I just think its not worth the risk, regardless of what party she is affiliated with.

sSubZerOo

she can't drop out.

it just wont happen.

Should she? Probably. I don't think VP is the right position for her at all. Will She? I'd be surprised if she does. That would be a big blow to McCain and the Republican Party.

It really scares me, given McCain's age and health, that Palin could possibly be the President of the U.S. I'm not saying this country would spin into ruin, but I don't think anyone would argue that she is fit to be President.

Yes, not only does she seem to not be qualified at all.. But she is EXTREMELY religious, normally I don't care but when I hear such things if she can hold on to rational thought through the religion..

This is the real issue, I mean she is a total nutjob. I have no problem with people being religious leaders but when you have two sides fighting "God's war" you have a real problem. Knowing that she would know the nuclear codes scares me very much.

You have no idea what youre talking about. Palin is who united the rep party and the reason the race is nhow close. This is fact. Her nomination is when McCain's numbers spiked. Biden was the mistake. If Obama had picked Hillary, it would have been a super ticket.
