Is Sara Palin Sexy?
My thoughts exactly. And Charlie Gibson is no partisan fire-breather like FOX News’ Bill O’Reilly. People know nothing about Palin and she’s being shielded from talking directly to the press by the Republicans. Raises a red flag or two. It makes me wonder is Sarah Palin sexy or the next Dan Quayle.
McCain should have chosen Mitt Romney.
IainGFoulds rexx1: If McCain had chosen Romney, he would be forgotten already. It is fair and reasonable to give Ms. Palin sexy time. She is more solidly principled than any of the other three candidates. defm IainGFouds: Being solidly principled is one way of putting it. Dumb as a bucket of bricks is another. I am a conservative with impeccable conservative credentials — in both academics and business. Sometimes you just have to admit your team has lost its way.
Before this election is over, defending Palin is going to cost a lot of conservatives their credibility.
IainGFoulds defm: I don’t know about your “credentials,” but I do know about your argument. It is rare for those who are “dumb as a bucket of bricks” to rise to the position of governor.
defm Just look at the symmetry: Obama picks a McCain look alike, and McCain picks a young, good-looking idealist. While Obama has acquired a father figure he can run to when things get nasty, Mc-Cain has picked a woman who will pick up a good segment of disillusioned Hillary Clinton supporters. Getting elected isn’t just about ideology and credentials; more important is the reality of numbers.
TCTheTiger defm: What does it say about Obama if he loses the spotlight to “a bucket of bricks”?
Nath_BC The issue is not Sarah Palin, but the judgement of John McCain. For months, McCain has been hammering Obama for his lack of experience, even though voters have clearly rejected this strategy (it got Hillary Clinton nowhere). Now he goes and picks the least sexy and most untested person in recent memory as his vice-president.
A vice-president must be someone who has been tested, so that if the president is ever incapacitated or killed the nation will have confidence in his successor. Sarah Palin has not been tested. In choosing her McCain showed poor judgement. He cannot be trusted, and anyways is not fit to be president at such an old age. He appears to be losing his bearings.
defm IainGFouds: Believe it or not, those who are “dumb as a bucket of bricks” routinely rise to the position of governor. It’s not uncommon at all, regardless of party. And anybody who believes the storybook fable explanation of creation certainly qualifies as dumb as a bucket of bricks.
