Thread: Palin's Choice for VP

Forget book smarts or intellectual. At the moment in Australia, I'd settle for "common sense".

James.

Palin's actually more appealing than Mc Cain, that's the scary part.

I agree. She is (so far) more appealing than Sen. McCain himself. Mostly I think because Palin, unlike Sen. McCain or Obama makes it clear where she stands,regardless of whether one agrees with her, doesn't tolerate corruption from *either* party, is unafraid to rock the boat, and finally, is a true conservative. Something we've not had since Reagan. Unfortunately, she's not the one at the TOP of the ticket. McCain has too often (IMHO) "Reached across the aisle" something that is Washington-speak for "betrayed those who elected him, by doing what the guy who they didn't elect would have done"
Just my opinion. Washington is full of people tainted in this way. So far, Mrs. Palin doesn't seem to be, and it is refreshing.

I disagree with the idea that the "smartest" or most articulate person should be our leader however. I think those have little to do with leadership. They are good qualities, but not the ones I would vote based on.
Stalin was quite intelligent, after all.

I also see no reason to fault Gov. Palin for having creationism taught in school. If schools are to teach one theory, why not another.
Otherwise instead of schools they become an indoctrination center.

This thread has been largely civil so far, although it has not been without, completely uncalled for, attempts to stir things up.

Sarah Palin's speech is over, so I suspect there will be a new activity here. Just wanted to remind everybody that the thread shall remain civil or it shall be closed. I don't care if you think you have been treated unfairly - it's your personal responsibility to act responsibly.

Thank you very much!

Did I say something wrong here?


John P.

Well, I gotta say, she did a nice job with her speech. Handled it quite well, and came across as a down to earth person. I'd agree with other members who mentioned liking her more than Mr McCain. It goes on the plus side of the board........heh. See how it adds up later.

John, no, you just happened to post right before me. I think the posts I was referring to should be obvious, but since it serves no purpose I am not going to be singling them out.

Left wingers wetting the floor? This from one who quotes Fidel?

She will do great because she is a fast learner. I think she has the left wing liberal baby killers wetting the floor!

Let's not go there gents. Not this topic anyway. I have some opinions as well on this subject but this is about Palin, not about Evolution/Religion/other theories.

He simply stated that he doesn't think she's fit for VP and that the creationism thing is ONE of the reasons for that. That's his right.

Although that striking a blow for Evolution wasn't needed Jim.

Gents if you want to hash it out on this subject....do so in the open and in a seperate topic. Or simply agree on the fact that you don't have the same opinion and that that's everyone's right.

I split off the budding Creationism debate

No more creationism or religion in this thread please.
