Yes Palin is essentially running for President, however I don't think McCain's age should be as much of a deterrent as Obama's inexperience. Essentially though, Palin has at least run the state of Alaska, as the head executive of the state (as President is for the US). Obama has spent his political time as a city organizer, state congressman, and campaigning for President as a US Senator. McCain trumps Obama in that he is ready to do this job. Obama recently said that Cuba, Venezuela, and Iran were just small countries that don't pose much of a threat.
"Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, these countries are tiny compared to the Soviet Union. They don't pose a serious threat to us the way the Soviet Union posed a threat to us."
Is he fucking kidding me? These are the mindsets that cause complacency, and that is what leads to incidents such as 9/11. I'd say that all of those countries are are larger compared to Al Qaeda or the Taliban. But those guys were just tiny right? He is unqualified for this job.
Another laughable quote from a few weeks ago is when he was asked a question about where life begins. And his answer is "That is above my pay grade." He's running for President of the US, that's essentially the highest pay grade in the world. Man up and take a stance.
Also, Biden is an ass. He said this recently: “When the stock market crashed, Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the television and didn’t just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed. He said, ‘Look, here’s what happened..."
OK dumbass. The stock market crashed in 1929. FDR wasn't elected until 1932. TV wasn't introduced until 1939. Just more liberal lies.
I'm going to go ahead and put this out there as well. The rumor is that Biden will step down from the race around Oct. 5th either due to health issues. Barack is not happy with his choice as evident in the recent quarrel they have had over a TV ad that Biden thought was "terrible" which attacked McCain over his age/inability to use a computer. And then Obama criticized Biden for his current stance on the economy bailout. This will pave the way for Hillary appaently, or maybe someone else.
