McCain Palin 2008

If this doesn't scare the hell out of you there is something terribly wrong. Just watch the interview with Katie Couric and listen to Sarah Palin's answers. I've never seen such a display of ignorance by a vice presidential candidate. She may be trying to appeal to the average American with her folksy attitude, winning smile, and down home humor. I don't buy it for one second. IF they win the election, this woman would take over the office of President of the United States should something happen to McCain. That's a very scary thought for me. God help us all if that happens. Do your own research on Palin. You'll be surprised at what all you will find. A good place to start is here. Of course, there's always the Alaska News, chock full of articles about Sarah Palin. Time is running out. The election is less than a month away. I urge everyone to read all that you can in order to make an informed decision.

San said...: That interview was pathetic. I saw a woman on television who said she was voting for Palin, that she thought she could invite her into her home for "snacks." Since when does that qualify one for next-in-line to the highest office in the land? Shudder.; October 14, 2008 at 4:46 PM
Patty said...: So was the interview with Charles Gibson. The woman clearly can't answer even the simplest of questions.
The thought of her being next-in-line for the office of President....scares me.; October 14, 2008 at 8:36 PM
JanSKay said...: The idea of her being in the VP seat is scarey indeed! The scariest part is that there are those that support her.; October 15, 2008 at 3:13 AM

The island's reputation as a glassmaking center was born when the Venetian Republic, fearful of fires that could destroy the city's mostly wood buildings, ordered glassmakers to move their foundries to Murano in 1291. Although Murano's glassmakers soon became the island's most prominent citizens, they had to adhere to one strict rule. What was it? More... Discuss
