Palin- The Iceberg That Sunk The Republican Titanic

If you watched last night's VP debate, you may start wondering why did McCain go beserk and choose Palin as his running mate. It surely should have been some of deep depression or pills or some kind of dope that might have caused John to take this reckless decision.

I am not talking about Palin's knowledge or even her experience. I am really concerned about her ability to understand what is required for the job, her perpective and her IQ. She got an F in these fundamental areas.

Let me prove why.

1. Palin mentioned about her being a outsider to washington as an advantage.
What was she thinking when she said that? If hockey moms could run the country then there would be no university offering courses in "Political Science". Who said we do not want politician to run the country. They are gonna run the most properous nation in the world. They have allies who smart, enemies who are smarter and dangerous around the world. To deal with such diverse cultures and complex political minds like Putin (Russia), Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (Iran), Kim Jong-Il (North Korea), we need a president/VP capable of a political startegy to sustain the allies, deal with our enemies effectively.
Do not mistake me, we need washington to understand main street issues but that does not mean we ignore larger, more influential issues like foreign policy

2. Palin was asked what promises she would not be able to keep because of this recent financial turmoil
She says she's been 5 weeks into this campaign and does not know what has been promised.
Ridiculous!! how can one agree to sign up as a VP ccandidate if they did not know what their principal stood for and what promises he has been making to the people of the country. Is this not the moral and basic responsibility of the VP candidate to understand and be aware of what he/she is rallying for, what promises he/she would have to fulfill when they occupy the white house or if he/she is called upon to act on behalf of the President.

Is the Palin ticket different from the McCain ticket? I believe so at least from this answer.

This is absolutely nonsencisal. Palin thinks that the people of the lower 48 states are as foolish and stupid as her state. That is not the case though, at least I believe so.

3. Palin was asked to defend how is McCain's policy different from Bush's policy
She had practically no answers to it. She did not even think of defending it. She as actually speechless for a moment, before she started her nonsensical rote of coached statements.


4. She had the obnoxious courage to not answer the moderator her questions
It is amazing that inspite of all these gaffes, we are so stupid to applaud her of standing her own. What does that mean "standing her own"? I just don't get it.


5. She also mentioned that she would not talk to the media.
How can a VP candidate get away with this? I understand that the media may be biased. But she owes the citizens of the America where she stands on critical issues that affects them. How are the americans going to know that? She's closed all doors. I need to know what's in that head that may decide our future for the next 4 years!

But guess the biggest point here is, there were no follow up questions. Imagine if there were follow up questions. She would have blatantly proved that she is iceberg that sunk that the republican titanic.

My question is do we still believe we have 2 tickets to choose from? I guess not. The republican chapter is closed as of yesterday.

We have only one choice!
