Ground Game

Hi There!

There are actually a few facebook pages that were created to oppose Sarah Palin's candidacy. One, which is called " Sarah Palin, No Way!" has 464 members: http://www.new.facebook.com/pages/Sarah-Palin-No-Way/35452974200?ref=s&refurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.new.facebook.com%2Fs.php%3Fq%3Dsarah%2Bpalin%26n%3D-1%26k%3D400000000010%26sf%3Dr%26init%3Dq Other Sarah Palin pages seem to imply that their members would vote for Palin based on her looks.

Not only is Sarah Palin less experiened and less qualified than Barack, she seems to lack the intellectual curiosity, or unwillingness, and depth to probe and understand the important and complexing problems/issues knocking at our door today. For example, "What is it exactly that the vice president does all day?" Palin offhandedly asked CNBC anchor Larry Kudlow in July. And, if she does not know what a VP does will she know what a President does. And when asked about her stance on Iraq by Alaskan Daily Palin answers "I've been so focused on state government, I haven't really focused much on the war in Iraq. I heard on the news about the new deployments"! Well what about Iran, and Georigia? Does this show someone who is ready for Prime Time! And, was she truly vetted? Sarah/McCain get ready for she is about to come under the "media" microscope!

McCain’s VP pick also shows a disdain for this country because if something were to unfortunately happen to McCain, Sarah Palin would be our next President of the United States. Can you imagine in her that role? This proves two things in my mind, McCain’s lack of love for this country and that he does not have the judgment to lead this country at this most profound time.

"John McCain for all his white hair who represents the risky choice, while it is Barack Obama who offers cautious, steady, predictable governance.
Here’s I fear the worst harm that may be done by this selection. The McCain campaign’s slogan is "country first." It’s a good slogan, and it aptly describes John McCain, one of the most self-sacrificing, gallant, and honorable men ever to seek the presidency. But question: If it were your decision, and you were putting your country first, would you put an untested small-town mayor a heartbeat away from the presidency? David Frum

Lastly, McCain's pick of Sarah Palin, a woman with very little executive experience, a woman who has approved a 26 billion dollar gas-pipeline to a Canadian business instead of a business here in the United States, a woman who the Alaskan legislature approved a $100,000 investigation into her motivations in firing Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan (troopergate) has proven to the world how really pathetic the Republican party has become that they will try any trick in the book to keep the power in the hands of big oil and special interest and out of the hands of the people where it belongs.
