Newton- you are a fucking idiot. You said "She has no link to big oil." I simply pointed out that she did, independent of who or what Joe Biden is connected to.
Palin may have done something illegal with the scandal, but she didn't fire the guy who divorced her sister. She fired the guy who wouldn't fire a state trooper who was married to her sister, was abusive towards her, and used a tazer on her 11 year old son. Can you really criticize her for it? I don't really.
What I can criticize her for is having basically no politcal experience. Most of her experience was as mayor of a town of 6,000. Basically, the mayor of the crappy suburban town I was raised in has FAR more political experience than she does. What do you decide as a mayor of a town of 6,000? What day trash day is? Do they make sure the one stop sign in town is still in tact? Certainly different than being president. Then her only big political experience is 2 years as the governor of the 47th most populous state, with a population of 670,000. Also, it is the largest in geogrphical area, meaning that it is the least densely populated, and again, you don't have to do a damn thing to govern it. Alaskans don't want to deal with government and actually stick by it- Unlike people like Newton who rally against the government all day, but will then take their scholarships because his family can't succeed enough in the free market to just send him to college, because his parents are losers. Forget foreign relations, this woman has no experience with any serious politics at all.
