The fact that Palin is “of faith” does not bother me, obviously, because Obama is also “of faith”. While I do not know whether or not i would ever consider the option of having an abortion(but I can say with certainty that I would if I were raped), I do not think that it is any other person’s right to take away my right to choose.

Having said that, even if I were a conservative republican, I would not be comfortable with the idea of a Palin presidency, she simply has not shown a good enough grasp of the issues that face our country for me to feel comfortable with the idea of her in charge. There are plenty of other strong, smart republican women who are vastly more qualified than Sarah Palin.

The only reason people are bashing on Palin is because they are just scared of seeing such a strong and powerful woman of faith. How horrible for a person to have faith. To believe in something. What the heck is the world coming to?!!? It must be ending if the people in our country have there panties in a twist of a woman who believes in God. It’s typical of the media though to bash on any type of conservative view. Same as those in Hollywood. The Democratic party as very little morals. Hence why they think it’s okay to kill unborn babies.

It’s funny how people talk about how stupid Palin is or how stupid they think she is when in fact. Obama picked a vice president that doesn’t even think Obama is qualified to be president. Also, who in fact supported Mccain and I don’t care how many times he tries to deny ever saying such things or says he simply changed his mind. He’s only in it for the sake of trying to help fix the screw ups Obama will cause if elected president. Because there will be a lot of those if he is. And if someday Biden does have to step up and take over as President he will not follow any type of Obama politics. Anybody that doesn’t see that is blind.

Ok Dino…

Nothing you contend conflicts with my interpretations. Now, I’m sure you missed this but neither I nor Sarah Palin has ever contended that the Vice President holds any power over Senate veto’s or votes (unless there is a tie). And sure “President in waiting” (that term doesn’t appear in the constitution anywhere by the way…) is one of the main purposes of the Vice President but it is most certainly not the only purpose.

And there is most certainly no constitutional provision preventing the vice president from dealing with and influencing senators. In fact the very fact that vice president is also the president of the senate seems to imply that the founders would have expected the VP to be intimately involved with the senate.

So get over yourself.

Congrats on your epic fail… Your IQ is on par with Palin’s. Looks like you need to take some classes in reading comprehension based on your statement of… “luckily for me the constitution is written in English so I can pretty well understand it.”

The constitution is quite clear, on what the VP does. The primary duty is that of being the “President in Waiting”. To that end they must remain current on all issue of “State” in the event that they are required to step into the role of “Acting President”. To paraphrase… The VP is “President” of the Senate but they have “no” power over the decisions of the Senate veto or vote, unless there is a tied vote. (That’s pretty clear). Overstating something is the pretty much the same as being wrong, it show’s that you either 1. lack understanding or 2. are embellishing the facts to meet some end (i.e. lying)

She is wrong and so are you.
