More than my heart can take just to imagine Palin & Todd running this nation, it would probably give me a heart attack if it actual happens.

What's your take? What the worst things you think would happen as a result of Palin & Todd (the power abusers) being in charge of this nation?
I think the image of the nation across the globe would continue to diminish. The US would seriously lag behind on environmental issues, relationships with other countries, technological advancements, gay rights, abortion rights, and expect her to fumble a few interviews here and there. What's worse is not her, but the thought of her semi-redneck hubby sitting in the oval office "running things." THAT scares the h*ll outta me.

Boy, I have my doubts. Guess I'd have to move to Canada. Imagine having someone president who is absolutely clueless!!

Hmmm who is worse?

Clinton is highly intelligent - Palin is a dummy, no matter what her so-called "accomplishments" are - you and I could also be President if SHE can be president!

Don't you feel smarter than Sarah Palin? I like having a President who's smarter than ME - don't you?

Three easy steps:

1. She calls Colin Powell on the phone.
2. Offers him a job as "Special Advisor to the President".

3. Listens to what he says.

That's why we have CIA and other secretive agencies. They step up to the plate when it becomes obvious that a president might be putting the entire nation at risk

I believe if Palin were to stumble into the Presidency....it would be very quickly lead to her impeachment and the ascension of the Speaker of the House. President Pelosi.

In her short time as governor of Alaska she was found guilty of violationg the laws and ethics about using the power of office for personal agendas. Any doubt that she and the first dude would run amuck of the law withing months of hitting Washington.

That would be a fine example of the neo-cons being "hoist by their own petar". Such a moment in history!

Yes, I think she definitely would be impeached, fortunately. Go, President Pelosi!!

Impeachment proceedings to start immediately if that happened...and if that didn't happen I really would want to leave the country (omg, never thought I'd say that)
