Let's be serious.... McCain is definitely qualified to be president of the United States and Sarah Palin is not qualified to be Vice President. He chose here to help him get elected and it might work, but it isn't in the best interest of the United States.

I saw most of that in the cut and paste TV interview....she NEVER addressed why Alaska's proximity to Russia gave her foreign relations insight...because she has none.

IF you read the mainstream news it had it all over the place that Palin was receiving a crash course in foreign relations from BUSHCO aides(ya, some CHANGE!)....if she had experience why would they need to do that?


Biden didn't need any "course"....he can GIVE courses!!!!

Deference. Definition: Submission or courteous yielding to the opinion, wishes, or judgment of another.

She repeatedly uses the fact that Russia is close to Alaska to convince people she has foreign policy experience. She didn't even get her first passport until 2007. I had traveled to over a dozen countries before I was 30, and I'm not qualified to be Vice President. (most of those were islands where I drank Pina Coladas.) I'm not trying to sound mean here, really I'm not. But if you live in the United States, especially Alaska, and call driving to Canada "foreign travel" that's a bit of a stretch, isn't it? When she said that, I had to laugh out loud.

During her first interview on Thursday evening, she mentioned that you can even see Russia from some parts of Alaska. It's that close! So why hasn't she ever been there?
She can see Russia from Alaska.
Those commies are so close that Sarah has her good eye on em'.
Why does she have to visit them???
I don't have to put my head in a toilet to know it stinks there!

No they didn't, not unless you were watching an excerpt. I saw every bit of that, word for word.
