Oh noes! Here her goes again!
So I'm going to go ahead and risk being beheaded by opening up this wound again, but I want to post this video and encourage you to watch it for a couple of reasons (you'll have to sit through a 15 second commercial, I have no control over that, but it's important enough to endure that inconvenience):
First, this one minute and twenty-eight second video perfectly sums up why the selection of Sarah Palin as a vice presidential candidate scares the holy living shit out of me. To me, this is clearly an example of why they are not letting her talk to the press more because it appears as if she has no idea what she's talking about.
Two, I am genuinely interested in hearing from fans of Palin. I want to know why you think she's qualified, and why you'd vote for a man who would choose to run with someone like this.
No name calling, no hurling of insults. I'd just really like to hear your side.

Listen---if we are comparing notes on things said in front of a camera---let us not forget that Joe Biden was the one quoted as saying, "You cannot go in to a 7-11 or Dunkin Donuts without a slight Indian accent". What is that all about? Is this who you want a few steps away from the presidency? He puts his foot in his mouth all the time. Where are those You Tube clips on your site?

Yeah, well, Bush used to fly over the town I lived in to get to Crawford so that must mean I'm qualified to become President.
Dumbass. I despise Sarah Palin.

I am much more concerned about the people in Obama's life. His former pastor Jeremiah Wright who infamously "G*d damned America after the terrorist attacks of 9/11. The fact is that he attended this church for 20 years and knew it preached racial hatred and Black Liberation Theology.
He has had past relationships with the leader of the radical Weatherman underground Bill Ayers and has ties to some less savory groups such as ACORN currently under investigation in many states for voter fraud.
A good article on the Obama Ayers connection in Chicago by Stanley Kurtz of the Wall Street Journal is worth reading.
"Obama and Ayers Pushed Radicalism On Schools"

I can't believe that everyone has this much time to be so angry. I get tired of everyone on both sides. Everyone seems to have an opinion and be angry about the other side. Stop talking and do some walking. Get your hands dirty instead of mouthing off. Get out there and make a difference instead of just bitching about it.

Well, that was bad! But guess what? It GETS WORSE! Here is another Katie Couric interview clip that is even more embarrassing:

I can't believe anyone would want her in ANY office, let alone the VP slot. Terrible.

I am learning a lot just from the discussions posted here, so thank you for providing the opportunity, Dooce.
I like Palin b/c she is a mother who could bring that perspective to the Oval Office. I am very unimpressed with Biden. I am pro-choice and would have preferred to vote for Hillary for President. IMO, the Democrat ticket would have had way more potential as Hillary/Obama, but I'm not going to vote Republican out of spite or based on emotion. I am currently undecided as to who will get my vote in Nov.

Interesting all the vids of republicans making mistakes and fumbling...but no one puts up Biden's faux pas about "FDR" being president during the start of the great depression and going on "TV" that hadn't even been invented yet!
Let's be fair.
Is Biden getting grilled like this? I think NOT!

To 171. JoAnn, that was a quote from Newsweek!
I hope someone sees the irony in that.

Yeah all us "hard working Americans" sure have a LOT of free time on our hands to waste on the computer don't we? Me included.
Won't be that way for some if Obama gets elected.
Me..I am already drawing my retirement and have great health care.
I hope he gets elected really because I am going to have so much fun sitting back watching the show waiting for the "change" to happen....
Good luck with that!
