Sarah Palin: The Worst Possible Republican Choice

1) Bringing up flip flopping is playing with fire, not to mention it has nothing to do with the Palin Choice. In fact this seems like an attempt to score points on an issue that obviously the con does not have much ground on. However, since it was brought up by my opponent I feel neccesary to defend Obama's actions as well as lay it bare so that the truth is seen clearly. Although I for one do not believe all flip flops are bad as they show a gradual increase in understanding of an issue, it is no way fair to accuse Barack Obama of flip flopping when McCain has not only his own share but, more. Yes, Obama has flip flopped most notably on FISA but, they are far less than McCain or we maybe should call him McChange for the number of times hes done an about face. I present this link and using google for a full, complete and irrefutable list of McCain flip flopping: http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com... However, I'm sure there are more. McCain also has done some pretty pitiful full out flip flopping to pander the Confederate flag supporters and being against the MLK holiday before it was for it. And just to make sure we keep in the topic with Sarah Palin, she was for the bridge to nowhere before she was for it. http://ap.google.com... "She boasts of rejecting plans to build the notorious "Bridge to Nowhere," a $389 million bridge to an island with 50 residents. But only after she said yes did she say no, rejecting the locally-popular project after it was ridiculed and Congress cut some of the funds. She hung onto $27 million to build the approach road to the bridge." Still I would appreciate if attacks were not leveled at Obama to score points on an issue that was not raised. Especially because flip flopping does not mean you have no knowledge of the issue. In fact you have to understand both sides before you can even change sides and neither candidate is quite frankly, stupid. They know each issue they debate except when they admit that they don't i.e. McCain and the economy. 2. No one, not one being is ever fully prepared for the Presidency. Look at JFK and Herbert hoover for example for both sides of the coin of the experience issue. That being said Obama would gain tremendous advice from Biden and his cabinet as numerous presidents have done in the past. That's why they are there, to advise the President. Now one must have a basic understanding of the issues, great judgment and the political capital to act for the good of the country. Obama and Biden have that, McCain and Palin do not. Biden is widely respected in the senate, Obama is beloved by his supporters which means they will be able to shape the public agenda. While McCain was once popular in the senate and the streets during the campaign he has lost much of that. Palin has had no experience in the senate or on the national stage at all. Therefore Obama who has been involved in the community and politics for twenty some odd years have far more experience in the continental United States than Palin who has been mayor and Governor of the small town esque state. There is no way Alaska could prepare a person for the national stage just be geography. Also Biden's experience doesn't not matter because he is a VP. Obama even stated he wanted a VP who knows the issues and will tell him when he's wrong, a governing partner. Biden's experience counts as much as LBJ, Gore's and Cheney's. Now how can Palin be an effective VP when she's never dealt with foreign policy or domestic issues in the continental US? Honestly, she can't. 3. It's extremely upsetting that you agree with me that McCain picked Palin so that she could "appease the "Hillary Clinton independents" who are now searching for a candidate, but want a candidate who will keep with this year's theme of "historical elections"." It won't work except for those who voted for Hilary based off gender not issues and those weren't going to vote in the election either way. Lastly experience voters that the Media talks about on the democratic side will now stay with the party because of Biden not cross over to support a man who thinks that there is a Pakistani-Iraq border, doesn't know there's a difference between a Shi'ite Muslim and a Sunni and continues to think that the country Czechoslovakia still exists all the while admitting he knows nothing about the economy. 4. If you could please explain further and cite it would be most appreciated. 5. Actually Pawletty would have been a better choice. He has real experience, youth and had the ability to put Minnesota in play. If only we could say that Palin had more than one of those...
