This whole Palin thing is just one great distraction after another. Her kids, her pregnant daughter, her ex's husband getting fired, her blessing the troops, her femaleness, blah blah. Who the hell cares? She is simply a distraction, and she's not running for president. McCain is. She is a tactic, not a VP.
If there was ever any chance at having a national dialogue about substantive issues, it went completely out the window with the hockeymom pageant honey being nominated out of nowhere. This is all we'll be talking about now. Personal shit.
I'd like to vote for no one, but I'm not comfortable with the Bush doctrine, and even less comfortable voting for a nobody who doesn't even know what it is!
You're correct, she was picked for tactical reasons. Most, if not all VP candidates, are chosen for tactical reasons. Biden was selected to give foreign policy credibility to Obama and to shore up white, working class voters in swing states(who Obama did poorly with in the primary). It is the Obama campaign's and the media's fault that were talking about the personal stuff. They don't have much policy dirt to dig up so they use personal stuff or nothingness like the "God's task" comment or her membership with the AIP(proven false of course). Which Bush Doctrine was Gibson refering to in his question? There's more than one.
There is only one Bush Doctrine. And Biden is actually qualified to be President.
Sarah Palin is a vindictive fucking idiot with extremist positions who is totally unqualified to serve as President. Can you imagine that fool with her finger on the nukular button?
Me neither.
