Sarah Palin's Stock Portfolio

curious cat.

What state (of mind or otherwise) do you live in? Just want to make sure that I stear clear of your mind (lessness).

Sarah Palin's Stock Portfolio

When I read mindless comments about a woman that ho one really knows, simply because she is John McCain's running mate, I wonder whether I live on the same planet as these posters, much less the same country.

Forget the question of whether Palin or Biden a heartbeat away from the Presidency is a more frightening proposition. A Repubican colleague of mine, a Republican before that word meant neo-conservative, will not be voting for a Republican for the first time in his long life. His words: I can't think of a person (McCain) that I would least like to have the ability to launch nuclear weapons. He scares the livin' begeezus out of me.

This debate isn't about Sarah Palin, her experience, her portfolio or who handles her finances. It's about John McCain and his choices.

John McCain has demonstrated in the last few weeks a glimpse of that fear embdoied in my Republican friend's words. He saw our economy as "fundamentally strong" before he saw the need to suspend his campaign to save same economy, before he saw the need to attend the debate that he earlier had cancelled, before he saw the need to not suspend his campaign when the deal that he had sought to save the country had failed, but now it was OK to go ahead and confer with colleagues by phone when he criticized Obama for doing the same.

That's all politics, but illustrative of McCain's state of mind.

I could care less about Sarah Palin and her experience... fear John McCain.
