Reasons why Palin is a bad choice:
1) She has virtually no experience. She has only a bachelors degree in journalism from the University of Idaho, and was a pageant queen, a sports reporter, and a fisherman before becoming mayor of a town of 9700. Prior to her recent election as governor, that's it. And yet she's a heartbeat away from the Presidency, a valid concern with the elderly cancer survivor, McCain.
so? she has more experiance than either Washington Lincoln and about the same as Teddy Roosevelt.....this is VP and not president.......besides i say governor trumps senator on experiance levels in the head office
2) She's staunchly anti-abortion.
once again she is VP not president, i can live with this for now
3) She's favors teaching creationism in science class (yikes).
minor issue, depends on how much she pushes it on everyone....once again its the VP position she is getting
4) She's an oil person. For Anwar drilling and off-shore drilling. Her husband works for BP. We need a break from these oil people.
her husband is also a commercial fisherman....he is a working stiff not an an executive....not to mention he is tribal.....im all for ANWR and off shore drilling aswell....dont see an issue
5) She's opposes equal rights for gay people.
minor issue, McCain says let the states decide and i can live with that
That's a start, and I think this really undermines McCain's argument that Obama lacks the necessary experience for President. A VP must be ready to assume the Presidency just like the candidate themselves. How can they argue about Obama's youth and inexperience now without undermining themselves? To me, this reads like an insulting and cynical attempt to garner Hillary Clinton voters just because he picked a woman.
actually she is about the best conservative he could choose.....am EXTREAMLY happy he chose her over Leiberman....had he chose Leiberman i would likely be voting for Barr in November
