I am “repelled” by her, Believer, because she does not represent my value system nor do I believe she, at present, has what it takes to be 2nd in line to the presidency, much less a President of the US.
Your side (the right) tries to portray a vitriol towards Palin that MANY on the left do not possess. Palin is just not qualified enough to be president. She is Bush in drag, lipstick, a skirt, etc. A person in way over their head without enough curiosity or world-view to be in the position of VP. Not to mention the fact that she lies regularly about things that have been fact-checked.
Dramatize it all you want. I simply see her as a joke and insult to the American people.
Again, the frame of reference is VP. Not a mayor, Lt. Governor or Governor of less than 700,000 people.
And the thing is, conservatives are even jumping off of the Palin ship and quietly suggesting a replacement candidate for McCain.
The press/media does not have to tank Palin. She does that to herself by simply not having what it takes to do the job. Her home-schooling of policies has not shown through in any of her one-on-one interviews.
Of course, now with the right crying FOUL! over moderator Ifill, they already have their story in the bag. If Biden patronizes Palin (as McCain did to Obama), he’s bad. If Biden attacks Palin for her positions on issues, he’s a big ol’ meanie. It’s a win-win situation for Palin. Heck, the McCain campaign actually had the debate format changed to accomodate Palin. What does that say about her supposed performance if the rules have to be changed?!
I mean, it’s like taking the SAT. She’ll get points just for showing up and knowing her name.
Grow up. This isn’t high school or junior high. You need brains, thick skin and a message for Americans.
Palin, I fear, lacks about 2.5 out of those 3 qualifications. Actually, that lack is how the McCain campaign is portraying her.
