I'm done. I can't do it anymore. I have heard enough. Palin might be a nice person, a great mom and wife, but there is no way in hell she belongs in the White House as the Vice President and potentially the President of the US. I have an open mind to all the information available, and that information has lead me to my conclusion.
She has no concept of what is happening in this country. Economy, Foreign affairs, the state of the union... she has no clue! That is barely even acceptable for a Governor of one of our states. Before you tell me, "calm down" or "chill out, dude," please watch the first real comprehensive interview with Palin and abc's Charles Gibson on youtube. Here's Part one:
Part 1
My thoughts on Part 1
Question: What are her National security credentials? McCain says "commanding" the national guard and Alaska's proximity to Russia. She answers with explaining how she did energy reform, NOT her national security credentials.
________
She says past VPs might not have met any foreign nationals. Here's the last 6:
Dick Cheney had "international experience from his service as President Bush's defense secretary during the gulf war and President Ford's chief of staff." (Florida Times)
"Al Gore's experience with world affairs is one of his main selling points as a presidential hopeful" (CNN)
Dan Quayle was pretty much worthless and may not have met a foreign national.
George Herbert Walker Bush, before serving under Reagan... no question there "Mondale’s national and international experience provides him with unique insights to share..." (U of MN Conference)
Nelson Rockefeller, before serving under Ford, "fulfilled the functions of Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs (CIAA, 1940-44), Chairman of the Inter-American Development Commission and Corporation (1940-47) and Assistant Secretary of State for Latin American Affairs (1944-45" (Wikipedia)
If you feel like researching more past VPs, feel free, but I think you get the idea.

Russia's invasion was unprovoked? Here is an article from the Guardian about the Georgia-Russia incident. Georgia attacked first! It would be kind of like Danny DeVito going up to a sleeping Arnold Schwartzneger and punching him in the balls. Georgia "awakened the sleeping giant." When you invade place where most of the citizens carry russian passports, Russia is going to kick your ass. Russia is very proud of the power they hold on this planet and, as we have seen throughout history, will readily use their military, especially on their OWN borders. Yes, they overreacted, but everyone knew they would. Georgia's move was outright stupid, but because they are a democratic ally, the majority of our media says it was Russia's fault. AND PALIN IS OK WITH GOING TO WAR WITH THEM! Aaaah!

I think if you are going to be dealing with nations on nuclear power/weapons issues, you should not pronounce nuclear as "nucular." I don't expect everyone to know the difference because it is a common error in the english language. But if you are potentially going to be the VP of the largest nuclear power in the world and are going to attempt to prevent others from having nuclear technology and producing WMDs, you should know how to pronounce it and probably even spell it.

If Israel wants to go to was with Iran, that's cool.
__________
Part 2
OK, she just said our leaders are sending our military over to Iraq "on a task that is FROM GOD. Can anyone say, "Crusades." (Crusades (cru·sade) n. 1. often Crusade, Any of the military expeditions undertaken by European Christians in the 11th, 12th, and 13th centuries to recover the Holy Land from the Muslims. -Dictionary.com).
She said she would "never presume to speak Gods words." She said the task is one from God. That is speaking God's words!! Damn she is good at turning things around and not answering questions, I'll give her that!
Part 3
She talks about "the cyclical nature of our planet" and that she does see climate change in Alaska with the "ice packs melting." This is basic science. The warming and cooling of the earth. The earth has gone through large swings in temperature and climate change in the past. That past going back millions of years, and yet she does NOT believe in evolution. ???
Part 4
He asks for SPECIFICS about her and McCain's economic plans and all she does is generalize and deflect like she is so good at
Part 5
Wait, so is she for earmarks or against them? I can't tell. Can you?
Part 6
She's for adult stem cell research. Um, research. Um, science. Um, same as that evolution stuff? Maybe it's just me.
OK, she's not going to judge whether people think homosexuality is a choice or genetic. So she doesn't understand it at all but at least she's gotten this far. IF it's genetic, I wonder how that trait could have evolved?
"You start banning guns, and you start taking away guns from people who will use them responsibly." I actually agree with her stance on guns. I say let Americans have their choice to own guns, and let them also have their choice to have an abortion.
The book banning thing is basically false.
The trooper that almost got fired was an ass hole and should have been fired although he wasn't.

In summary, she is a very crafty speaker but she has no idea what she has gotten into. She ain't the devil, but the last place she belongs is anywhere in the White House.
