I think Palin is ready to be Vice President of the United States.

Ha.. you're not running for anything so don't act like a politician. You dodging the question means "no" until you clarify otherwise.

Griffin might have made it a little clearer that the author didn't mean those things literally, but was paraphrasing the press in general, but then again, it's not all obvious when reading the article either until you get nearer to the end.

You're REALLY stretching here...

I used to think you were the most rational person here... but if you honestly believe what you just wrong, I guess I was somewhat off in my opinion. I'm no fan of Palin, but that quote is taken completely out of context, and the interviewer makes absolutely no attempt to represent it as it was intended to be received. And contrary to what you think, the sarcasm is detectable from the get-go.

Well you might want to consider that I am STILL the most rational person here, and that you just don't measure up, that's why you THINK I'm wrong ;)

Seriously though, I honestly am having trouble with the idea that you both read the article and watched the interview, and STILL think the interviewer was unfairly misrepresenting what the article was trying to say. Just to clarify, instead of just bashing the interview as "out of context", could you summarize the interview and the article...because you are clearly not understanding one of them.

And if I had as much time as you apparently do, I'd make a list of all those in the democrat party who have said Obama was not ready to be president either.

Your list still does not make my OP any less relevant.

Your lack of reading comprehension makes the OP irrelevant.

As Palin might say: "You are part of the (wannabe) Gotcha Media." That is, part of those who see a string of words that looks like a conspiracy, then repeat those words while ignoring all the words before and after those words(taking out of context).

Again, you are wrong. You are obviously the one who needs to brush up on your reading comprehension. I suggest you re-read the OP.

I suggest you read the article.

Give me a break. You claimed I invented an aspect of the article, then decided to turn it into a hair splitting word choice argument when someone else pointed out that I was right about what the article said. Clearly you're so invested in bashing the media that you see what you want to see.

That's not what he asked. The Vice President should be ready to be President of the United States at a moment's notice.

So should the President.

Again, failure to answer the question.

But enough with the diversion...


OP, are you surprised that cnn or other media outlets would do such a thing?
there is a little school called Harvard and a little organization called the Harvard Review. i understand they may be over your head, no ivy league for me either, but i would hope the leader of the free world was intelligent and well educated. do i need to mention where in his class John McCain graduated?

checkmate

Bush went where?

Just because you went somewhere to school doesn't mean you are smart. ;)

guess your checkmate was only check and now I can say - check mate.

Now back to the op/topic

we are talking about the current running mates, not George W Bush. Barack Obama is the most intelligent presidential candidate we have seen in several elections, that is just a fact.

It doesn't have to. Palin does an excellent job of doing that, herself. She'll be the punchline of zillions of jokes for decades. :laugh:

Contrary to Palin's grave misunderstanding of the job, itself, the single most important part of the job of Vice President is to be ready to step in and take over as President should the President become unable to continue in the job. Those conservatives I listed disagree with you, and the polls definitely put you in the minority of public opinion.

I came across a couple of quick specs with no guarantee of accuracy, but the sources appear to be reasonable, and combined, they numbers are serious enough that they should be addressed further by competent medical authorities. I'd like to see more than this but...

From research from the University of Chicago:

Among male non-smokers, 70 percent of the men who turned 60 in 1990 will be alive by age 80, while 73 percent of those who turned 60 in 1996 are expected to live to age 80, according to the same data.

From WrongDiagnosis.com:

Prognosis of Melanoma

Survival rate statistics for Melanoma: The following are statistics from various sources about the survival rate for Melanoma:
.
.
27.7% of people with multiple melanomas survive after 5 years in the US 1983-90"

I'm sure it's more complex, but simple straight line multiplication make the odds around 20% that McCain will survive a term as President, and that's before considering the effects of the stress of the office.

Considering Palin as President is a sick, bad joke. The nation would be in grave danger if it ever happened. :thumbsdown:

We all know Bush didn't get into Yale and Harvard because of his intellectual curiosity.

I think getting on the ticket was a big mistake for her, I guess Bobby Gindal was it comming. I mean the left nut media is sooo keen on kissing a black ass that it has totally destroyed her career. She is a very competent lady after all she was "elected" by the people but the media has painted such a grim picture that as if there is nothing good with her. She was completed some deals like the pipeline in her term but you can find no details of that anywhere.

Biden has said equally stupid things and straight up lied in the debate about going to a restaurant to get in touch with common people which was closed in 1986 but you don?t the left loon media standing on the site of closed restaurant and reporting from there... this is straight up bigotry against white people. Just because the is from an ethnic group which is in majority in this country does not mean that she is not a target of racism.

Her life in the past few months is a perfect example of how much low Americans people and specially the media and go to kiss a black ass, just because its "cool" to do so. They will stop at nothing in soiling the reputation of the white candidates and support a incompetent black guy. No wonder McCain is not able to do positive campaigning as he is being constantly being attacked by the num nut liberal media and as soon as he say something in his defense he get slammed by the same people saying that he is running a negative campaign.

Wake up America before its too late

McCain wants to continue talks with the Pakistan government, talks that failed over two years ago that we are still not adressing while they have made peace with FUCKING AL QUAEDA, i know you don't give a fuck about 9/11 except when it works in your favor, i know you really don't give a shit about terrorism except when it works in your favor because you are personally a reacharound fuckjob and nothing else.

The truth is that it's over with Pakistan and Obama is the one who said that he will give support to what has already happened but he's willing to do it without wasting a shitload of troops and maybe get us more true air support (are you hearing me Common Courtesy, we need some birds in the air) and not choppers that can and will be shot down even before they can target since the terrain is the way it is.

Meanwhile, McCain wants to talk with those who made deals with the Talibans but not with the Government of Spain which has soldiers on our east right this fucking moment.

So in short, FUCK McCain, even if he survives he's going to continue the same exact politics, keep friendly with Pakistan, hostile with Iran and do absolutely nothing about Iraq.

Well, if you think the last 8 years have been swell and have a trust in him for the future, then you shouls probably see someone about that illusionary bullshit.

Obama -09 and while i can't vote, i have shifted my support when i heard what that old retarded POS wants to do with NATO troops and i'll stay regardless of who wins.

Ok Ive looked for Corbett's response to the question posed and i have not seen the answer.

Corbett Seriously ... without the bullshit political answers, the changing of the subject and the answering of questions with another question.

Do you think Sarah Palin is ready to be President of the United States of America considering the fact that there is a possibility of her assuming that role as written by the law of the land?

Can you just give me an answer ? If its yes its yes .. I personally wont condemn you for your opinion ... but i would like to know what your honest opinion is ...

plain and simple...


Good Day ..

Just answer the bloody question please.. The question is a plain as day ... I think the answer should be as well.

I think Palin is just as ready to be president as Obama is, if not, more.
