How does anyone believe that Sarah Palin is qualified for a VP position?

Let's concentrate on the facts

- She has never had a passport until last year

- She claims to have experience in foreign politics because Russia is close to Alaska, and anyone who buys this line must be crazy

- For most of Alaska's important positions, she hired childhood friends with little or no experience relevant to the positions (or goverment). Her Agriculture Secretary was hired because when he was a child, he liked cows. Her Treasury Secretary was hired because he was good at monopoly. THIS IS NOT A JOKE. THIS IS INSANITY

- She is ignorant. She seems to know almost nothing about anything. When asked about the economy, she responds with a blank stare. When asked about foreign policy, she reminds you that she can see Russia from her window.

Are you fucking kidding me? How is this woman qualified to be VP at all? Worse yet, if McCain dies in office, how is she qualified to be president?! That alone should be enough to vote for ANYONE ELSE

I have a better suggestion. Lets concentrate this topic into a single thread. There isnt a day that goes by without a new thread on the subject.

Riiiiight, I'm assuming those are "facts" straight from a reputable source? She also has an approval rating better than any other governor. Whatever she's doing, the people of Alaska like it.

Hmmm... you calling anyone "ignorant"... pot, meet kettle.

Well, lets see. Palin is equally (un)qualified as Obama, so voting for an unqualified VP is better than voting for an unqualified President.

How can anyone claim to have foreign relations experience without having stepped outside of the country? Are you completely incompetent or just pretending for comedic effect?

Try the NY Times. You may cry "liberal media" as much as you want, but the facts are still laid out there.

Or you could try a google search for yourself

Wow, a personal attack. How clever! Considering I never post on this board, how would you even know anything about me? You've made a baseless personal attack and effectively agreed that she is completely ignorant, congratulations. In any case, you can't deny it because it's true!

1) This post has nothing to do with Obama. The fact is that Palin is unqualified for any government office of any sort. Attacking Obama does nothing. All you've done is verified that Palin is completely unqualified.

2) Obama is actually very qualified to be president, if you'd stop accepting the Republican force-fed lies.

I'd rather have a president who was a senator and has actually read the Federalist Papers (Obama) than a VP who is also a working mother who can see Russia from her window.
