Todd stated he held a gun on his son during their recent altercation but then decided he couldn't shoot his own son.
Good thinking.
They are an embarrassment as a high profile example of rural dwellers. They have money and power and still cannot get it together. It puts an image in people's minds, and I'm sure a lot of good Alaskans cringe at their behavior.
Fuuny, when Biden's son died from being a drug addict it was a huge no-no to bring anything along the lines of loser and trash up. But Palin's are fair game.
Some consider the ability to make sound decisions a requirement for the Presidency. Others just look for the "R" after their name.
Which is exactly what I said except I put it into context and made it about what is important. So it's not the policy on economics or foreign wars that's important. It's who gets picked for the meaningless VP position that's the decider as far as making a sound decisiuon? Hope that clears it up.

Wtf are you even talking about? His son died from brain cancer. Don't post when you clearly have no idea what you're talking about.
Vice Presidents are neither powerless nor meaningless.
Pretty much powerless. They don't influence policy all they do is back the president.

And that comes up how often and is such a hard decision to make? Why is a tie breaker decision hard to make? You just follow the policy of the president.

You've based it on a rare event and didn't mention policy.

lol Stop with the drama. The government didn't fall apart and you have no proof.

Again stop with the drama. Nothing falls apart and things don't change. So all of a sudden the economy is going to collapse and the Russians are going to attack? The sky isn't going to fall.

There is no such thing as qualitites needed in a VP except to kiss the presidents butt.
Granted you should know about mentally unstable and incoherent since you backed hillary, the biggest scumbag ever elected by a major party. And that's the rub as it goes to credibility which you are lacking on this issue. You can't call palin out and support the lying, bigoted war monger hillary. Benghazi taught us that.
The reason to not vote for Mccain was he had bad policies. Which is something the progressives avoid talking baout since their policies are known failures. Anything else is tabloid garbage.
When was the last time, if ever, anyone said "Gee thank goodness for the VP or those last 4 years would have been bad".

A lot of Alaskans get a kick out this rowdy bunch.
Track is regularly involved in some drunken nonsense. Last year, he was arrested for waving a gun around and assaulting his girlfriend.
Bristol stumped for abstinence and gave birth to two out-of-wedlock children. Some speculation on how she is actually Trig's mother and the whole Palmer hospital birth business was a way to pass him off as Sarah's son.
If their adventures are of interests, there are several tell-alls out there.
