Palin: the best choice in 2008
Issue date: 10/9/08
It isn't every election year that you get the opportunity to vote for someone truly qualified for public office. Thankfully, our generation has been fortunate enough to be blessed with three consecutive elections offering someone ready to take on the challenge of leading our great nation. Bush proved himself by taking on the latte-drinking liberal left of New England, eliminating federal corruption and constant-campaign politics, leading us into an inevitable war and carrying us out from under an overbearing executive branch. Continuing with this trend of competence and experience, the Republican Party once again offers us a candidate primed for leadership; only this year she fills the VP slot.
Sarah Palin is more than ready to take on the challenges of the position of Vice President of the United States of America.? Contrary to what left-leaning media sources such as CNN and CBS's liberal media puppet Katie Couric would have you believe, she is vastly more experienced than the Democratic candidates in countless political areas.? Take, for example, her interview two weeks ago with Couric. The reporter tried to back her into a corner by mentioning that Palin had never actually spoken with an ambassador or foreign leader.? Palin countered, however, with an obvious fact that Couric had overlooked; Alaska is sandwiched between two foreign countries, one with a recent history of conflict with America, and another that forms the longest border between two nations.? With a geographic location that provides one with experience in both nuclear terrorism and illegal immigration, it's hard to believe Palin lacks critical foreign policy expertise.
Along with her extensive knowledge of worldly issues, the Vice Presidential candidate is well versed in American social and cultural issues.? She has made it plenty clear that she opposes the most controversial Supreme Court case in our nation's history: Roe vs. Wade.? While this may be the only piece of litigation with which she is familiar, it is ultimately the only one necessary to understand the fundamental social issues that have plagued our nation in the latter half of this past century.? Even Palin's family members have chosen their own ways to support the rights of the unborn.

I am sure that this article is some sort of joke. The authors could not possibly believe that Sarah Palin is ready to assume the position of Vice President. (Continued…)

This article actually **is** a joke/farce/whatever you'd like to call it (Facebook essentially proved this to me). I don't know exactly what the angle is with the dead-pan sarcasm, but I feel like my time has been wasted reading it. (Continued…)

I really, REALLY hope you are kidding when you say Roe v. Wade "is ultimately the only one necessary to understand the fundamental social issues that have plagued our nation in the latter half of this past century. (Continued…)

Very well written. The only concerning part is that there are a few too many potential voters wondering if it is a joke or not. Interesting that there isn't one article out there (that I've read) that covers Palin's admirable experiences and positive leadership qualities that would be desirable in our future Vice-President and potential President.

Perhaps the reason Palin's "voting record" escapes you is because Palin hasn't "voted" on anything since 1996. She was a mayor and then a governor.

Sarah Palin obtained her FIRST passport in 2007!! This is the woman you think is ready to serve as the VP?! I do hope this article was a joke.

WOW! I stumbled upon this article thanks to the miracle of Yahoo. My search string was something like "baltimore city code and noise and nuisance". Anyhow, I'm glad I found it for two reasons: 1. (Continued…)
