I think republicans like you are getting confused about the "hostility towards Palin." The reason people are hostile towards her is because she is an inexperienced right wing nutjob who won't even do a legitimate interview. People think its quite obvious she should not be president. Its easy to talk about how fucked up she is. Just like we used to say about Bush, when people said this "Washington Outsider" was going to shake things up. He did, by fucking up the entire country with his ignorance, ridiculous ideology, and stubbornness. So recently, when the left has said that somebody is a nutcase and needs to be kept out of the white house, we have been totally right.
Also, I don't know what thread I put it in, but I predicted the right would do this. They picked a totally underqualified woman, waited for people to point out the fact that she in no way has any business being VP at this point, and then screamed sexism in a pathetic attempt to win over Hillary supporters. I predicted it somewhere on here I know, and BOOM! The whole right, including Newton, did exactly what I said.
I'll admit that the "she should be at home with her downs syndrome baby" argument is lame, and wouldn't be used against a man. BUt the fact that she is an amateur, selected, not elected, to be on the presidential ticket and has, as recently as two months ago, joked about the fact that she didn't even know what the Vice President does- essentially making her less qualified than a high school student who got an "A" in civics.
This sunday 3 out of the 4 candidates on the presidential tickets will hit the traditional "sunday morning talk shows." Harding hitting interview news shows like "Meet the Press," where they will make their cases to tough interviewers. Who isn't going? Palin. They won't allow her to do tough interviews. What does that say about her knowledge? There obviously is no depth- she just parrots McCain and tells stories of shooting Moose and being a hockey mom. It also tells me that she can't think on her feet. Its pathetic, he is claiming she is ready to be a heartbeat from president when she can't even deal with Tom Brokaw? Fuck that.
And Reagan was younger than McCain when elected, and his health was an issue too. He lived through 2 more presidents- though he had such extreme allzheimers that he stopped making public appearances during the Clinton Era. To claim John McCain's health is a non-issue because Reagan was able to survive is not a legitimate argument. Could McCain survive the term? Of course. Is it possible he will die during his term? 8 years from now he would be 80, and have spent the last decade in a job that ages people at like 5 times the rate of anybody else, so to say he could be dead is not too outrageous of a claim.
