		<description>it would be dangerous for the GOP to reschedule another VP debate... the more unscripted air time Palin gets, the more time people will have to realize that she couldn&#039;t answer a question about any of the major issues if her life depended on it</description>

		<description>Here is a response to Bill Anglea&#039;s drivel. Next time you can spare the disparaging remarks, as they are just as useful and thoughtful when turned around....

Despite Barack Hussein Obama&#039;s apparent abilities as a community organizer in Chicago he has clearly and consistently demonstrated that he is out of his league as a candidate for President, and is in no way, shape or form prepared to actually fulfill the role of President. He is intellectually challenged on the issues of critical urgency to this country and has shown that although he can deliver a teleprompted, canned, rehearsed speech in a controlled environment, He apparently is not capable of conversing without a teleprompter, with an average journalist or voter to engage in a coherent discussion of the current domestic, economic and foreign relation problems facing this country.

Moreover, it is almost incomprehensible that the country would put him in a position where he would be the one heart beat of the Presidency, with lying Joe Biden as his potential replacement.

Barack Hussein Obama a mildly enthusiastic, athletic, and progressive person who would be an excellent member of society or a volunteer at the YMCA. However, he is embarrassingly ill prepared to take the highest office in this country, given that he has already violated the Logan Act before he even has the office. 

It was totally and completely irresponsible for Barack Hussen Obama to have this country into this high risk gamble, based on a hope and change that he would be able to &quot;beat the odds&quot; and survive 4 years in office as President with just a teleprompter to prop up his inadequacy.

By the way, the statistical probability that Barack Hussen Obama would be to adequately fulfill the duties of even a first term are low. 

In My Humble Opinion, this is not acceptable. No how, no way..

Deja Spew all over again. (I did choose to ignore the age discrimination remarks against McCain, as the only correllary for Obama would be racial discrimination, and I&#039;m not gonna go there.)</description>

		<description>Some derogatory statements about Barack Obama &quot;might&quot; be true. However, it doesn&#039;t erase the fact that Senator McCain demonstrated a huge failure in judgment and a complete failure of the process surrounding his decision to raise Sarah Palin as his VP running mate.  From the day he pronounced that decision, John McCain he has continued to demonstrate one failure in judgment after another.

Despite Sarah Palin&#039;s apparent abilities as a political operative in Alaska (which has almost zero correlation to the lower 48 states in anything political, economical or otherwise) and her apparent abilities as an administrator of a small Alaskan town, then as governor of the State of Alaska, she has clearly and consistently demonstrated that she is out of her league as a candidate for Vice President, and is in no way, shape or form prepared to actually fulfill the role of Vice President.  She is intellectually challenged on the issues of critical urgency to this country and has shown that although she can deliver a canned, rehearsed speech in a controlled environment, she apparently is not capable of conversing with an average journalist or voter to engage in a coherent discussion of the current domestic, economic and foreign relation problems facing this country.

Moreover, it is almost incomprehensible that John McCain would put her in a position where she would be one heart beat away from assuming the Presidency from a 72 year man who has a significant probability of being unable to fulfill even one 4 year term in office due to his current age, his current maladies and having had one initial case of the most deadly form of melanoma cancer, and three additional occurrences of lesser forms of melanoma (based on published actuarial tables and testimony from some of the foremost and prominent oncologists that have reviewed the limited medical information that John McCain has been made public).

Sarah Palin is a wonderful, enthusiastic, energetic and positive person who would be an excellent cabinet member or as an operative in a staff position.  However, she is embarrassingly ill prepared to take the 2nd highest office in this country, let alone the very high probability that she would be required to assume the office of the President within a first 4 year term.

It was totally and completely irresponsible for John McCain to have put her and this country into this high risk gamble, based on a hope and a prayer that he would be able to &quot;beat the odds&quot; and survive 4 years in office as President.

By the way, the statistical probability that John McCain would be unable to fulfill a second 4 year term if he were able to beat the odds and survive a first 4 year term, rises significantly.  In other words, even if he were to beats the odds of making it through the first 4 years, he would have an even smaller chance of being able to fulfill a second term.  That means there is an extremely high probability that SARAH PALIN WILL BECOME THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES SOMETIME IN THE NEXT 8 YEARS IF THEY GET ELECTED AND TAKE OFFICE IN JANUARY 2009.

In My Humble Opinion, this is not acceptable. No how, no way.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Anjin, the difference between you and a brick are infinitesimal,&lt;/blockquote&gt;
I&#039;m just appalled at that statement Zelsdorf. You are entirely on the wrong track. A brick is far more useful.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I see no proof of the statement. Just anicdotals and options. Got fact?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

She accepted the VP nomination, yet she cannon handle softball questions from lightweight journalists.  Has she held even a single press conference?</description>

		<description>Anjin, the difference between you and a brick are infinitesimal, yet you continue to post here.  My question for detractors is what is it you have accomplished that outshines Sarah Palin.  Anjin,????Anderson, Sam?????  Any of you a Mayor???  Ever run for office or just run you mouth?  A wise person would likely wait until the debate is over before deciding who the winner is.  One must decide which is more important.  Debating style or character.  Palin has character, Biden is a character.</description>

		<description>The problem is not the press.

Rather the problem is the stupid comments the Republican party comes up with to support her.

They say she has foreign policy experience because Alaska is next to Russia. 

There is a joke going around that she has financial experience because she lives net to a bank. 

One is a serious argument by professional republican operatives.  One is a joke.

Can you tell the difference?

Again, the problem is not the press or her, the problem is the republican party.</description>

		<description>@ Charles:

&lt;blockquote&gt;It is undoubtedly true that we don&#039;t know a lot about Governor Palin, but has Big Media really been interested in eliciting responses to intelligent questions or have they been more interested in seeking to humiliate her?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Charles, really. You&#039;ve seen those interviews. Do you really think that the questioners were trying to trip her up? The questions were innocuous, I&#039;d say, directed to someone with aspirations for the vice-presidency.

&lt;blockquote&gt;The emphasis on push polls to declare her unqualified are just the most obvious example today.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I haven&#039;t heard about any &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Push_poll&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;push polls&lt;/a&gt; directed at Palin. Can you give me a pointer?</description>

		<description>Adler is able to write an extended critique of Biden&#039;s position -- and I happen to largely agree with Adler here -- precisely be there is a position to be critiqued.  

Look, I give up.  You think Palin is as knowledgeable about policy and legal issues as Biden?  Or even in the same ballpark.  Fine. Whatever.  Good luck with that.</description>

		<description>If Palin&#039;s presence insults &lt;i&gt;you,&lt;/i&gt; Bernard, just say so. If you with to insult her or attack her, as you just did again. 
&lt;blockquote&gt;You missed my point completely Rodney... sort of like Palin might.&lt;/blockquote&gt;Go ahead, but expect like treatment for Obumble.

...but the ploy of trying to say that something insults or embarrasses a group of individuals is just a tact used by some (usually not from said group) to push their own agenda.</description>
