One FRAGILE Heartbeat Away From the Presidency |
|
Man, I hope Obama drives this home: the most incredibly underqualified VP candidate, running alongside the oldest non-incumbent ever for President.
There's a potential for disaster here of historic proportions.

2. She's Harriet Myers, only more ideologically palatable to fundamentalist Christians... |
|
...and more visually palatable to philandering septuagenerians.

3. Exactly. McCains biggest criticism of Obama was inexperience, so what does he do? |
|
Pick someone less qualified (on an epic level) for VP and for what reason? Political expediency. John McCain doesn't give a rat's ass about national security or the good of the nation.

12. Imagine How Clueless She Would Be |
|
If she inherited the presidency.
It's utterly incomprehensible.

4. Hmm. With MCain out of the way, fundies would have a complete ideologue |
|
to do their bidding.

9. No way would the corporate masters let the Republicans actually enact the fundie insanity. |
|
No way. They use the fundies mercilessly, and the fundies don't even know it. Let them try to turn back Roe v Wade, they would have the fight of their life. If they really felt that way, they had nearly eight years to propose the legislation and a favorable Supreme Court. They didn't bother.
Their base isn't all stupid though- they've learned to work in the cracks. In Mississippi, there's only one abortion clinic in the entire state. For many women, Roe v Wade is pragmatically speaking, already overturned.

5. "potential for disaster here of historic proportions" |
|
My position has always been that electing McCain would create the potential for a disaster of historic proportions. The guy is losing what marbles he had. Giving him the nuclear football is about as insane as it gets.
But putting Palin a McCain-heartbeat away is like adding redundancy of disaster potential. In-friggin-credible.
:tinfoilhat: Is this all just a test by the shadowy "masters" of our government, to see how many people will actually vote for a ticket this scary?

8. Her experience is over how many people |
|
Palin is a two year governor of a state with such a small population that comparing the 600,000+ in the entire state of Alaska to San Jose California with a population of almost 1 million is laughable. She also was a mayor of a town with a population of 6,000+. How in the world does that give her the experience they are touting today to be President.
They keep saying Obama has no experience. Illinois Senate, U.S. Senate...
This is a Rove tactic they know John McCain could fall ill because of his age and they want someone in the WH who they can mold and tell what to do.
