John McCain picking Sarah Palin was a bad move!

"Now, just on experience plain and simple, I hate to be one of those people that always say it but Obama only been in for 143 days before running for president. All Obama was, a Community Organizer. Did he do anything great? NO. Do you honestly think that Obama has gained any experience during his campaign? Obama does not have any "INTERNATIONAL" experience, which is what they call "Foreign Policy" . Governor Palin has even visited our troops in Iraq in July 2007, we all know Obama hasn't, and that should say something to you right there." --Here you are mistaken. Obama has been to foreign embassies, he's lived in Indonesia for 4 years, he traveled to Pakistan in college, and he was also a member of the Senate FOREIGN RELATIONS Committee. (http://www.talkleft.com...) So on this note you need to get your facts straight. Yes, Palin has visited our troops overseas, but besides that, the only other foreign experience she has is that she lives in Alaska, the closest US state to Russia. And she has admitted to "not really following the War in Iraq." And tell me what NATIONAL experience she has?! Okay, she was Governor and major of both a small town and Alaska. And yes, both these positions are part of the executive branch, but again. Besides visiting the troops, what FOREIGN RELATIONS experience does she have?! What qualifies her and assures the American people that she has experience with dealing with groups such as Al-Queda, or simply meeting with another country, etc. should the need arise!? "I don't know where you got "The chances of him dying are high". The President has the best medical treatment, so that was far fetched of you to say that. Anyways, if he did "die" Palin would be ready to assume the leadership. You cant just assume things like McCain dying, but you can be prepared, which is why he picked Palin, which is better in foreign policy than Obama." --again, like a stated before, Obama has much more foreign experience than Palin. So do some research before debating. Also, I understand that the President has the best medical treatment, but IF he assumes office he will be the oldest President in History. If he completes BOTH terms of office, he'll be 81. Let's face it, the older you get, your health goes down, no matter the treatment. What I meant in this paragraph was that we're not worrying about him getting shot, we're concerned about his OLD AGE and the fact that Palin becoming President is a bigger possibility than before. Considering the man will be 72 IF inaugurated. "The truth is, that a lot of women will vote for McCain and Palin anyways, and it is true that a large,important,chunk of Hilary supporters will vote for McCain." -- An ABC News poll released Friday found the selection of Palin makes people likelier to vote for McCain by just 6 percentage points — half the 12-point margin by which Sen. Joe Biden makes them more likely to support Obama...There really couldn't be more of a distance between Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton on the issues and the agenda that Clinton fought so passionately for. The more (Clinton supporters) are learning about Palin, the more they are coming to the Obama-Biden ticket. Also Hilary supporters, for the most part, were voting for her position on the issues. And Palin could not be farther away from Clinton in that aspect. "HARDLY ANY YOUTH no much about politics other than what they see on TV, and they think its "cool" to go along with the crowd and just vote for Obama, when the reality is they don't know a DAMNED THING when it comes to politics. Of course the Youth has Obama's vote, MY generation is just so young and naive and will listen to anything with out really gaining further queries." -- only 23% of youth ARE NOT registered to vote, and I know that at MY high school, many of the youth were campaigning. And I don't just mean "VOTE FOR OBAMA" either. I mean, presenting his policies, etc. While many youth don't care or just "go with the flow", the majority of us who go out to vote ACTUALLY care. We want change for this country and we feel Obama is the best way for it. McCain sincerely wants to help, unfortunately he just doesn't get it. "Oh so now all of a sudden McCain has suddenly vanished and Palin is running for President?" --As VP you have to be prepared to assume the role of President. Plain and Simple. Should something happen to McCain, then she assumes the position. And she's simply not ready. Maybe she will be in a few years, but now right now. This country is in too deep a ditch to put it's future POTENTIALLY in the hands of someone with NO experience other than state, and who no one really had heard of before this. She came out of nowhere. "Her pregnant daughter is 17.........now if she was 15 I could see it being more difficult but not 17/5." --what difference does it make how old she is? She's still a pregnant teen, and whether she's 15 or 17, it's still going to be difficult, and she's going to need her mom there for support and help. So saying that she's 17 and that makes it better is irrelevant. Because it's not a matter of her age, it's the fact that she's pregnant out of wedlock that gets everyone in a frenzy. "She has been a life long member of NRA, and she is hot." --What do her looks have to do with anything?! Okay, it MIGHT attract some of the youth who don't care, but again, most of them aren't registered to vote. And someone with such political knowledge as yourself should know that looks shouldn't be the basis for office. "So while choosing Palin which will certainly increase McCain's numbers in votes, she is the best pick." --Right now, McCain is DOWN in the Polls, he rose about .3 over the last two weeks. So Obama is still ahead. Okay, you're right it will increase his votes. By .3, that's a big number wouldn't you say!?
