Palin is just plain dangerous for America
My first reaction when I heard McCain had picked Sarah Palin as his VP nomination, was to laugh. Sarah who? But the more I learned, the more I thought about it, the more that came out about his VP pick, the angrier I got.

How could this old fool pick someone so GROSSLY under qualified to run with? It's not a joke to be laughed at. It's a very dangerous situation. How could he, how could anyone, place someone that green in position to be that close to running the most powerful country on the planet? He had only met this woman twice before selecting her as his candidate. She has absolutely no experience working with government on the national level. She's never even gone to another country as a diplomat of this government, and McCain thinks she's ready to lead? McCain thinks she belongs anywhere NEAR that level of responsibility?

When arguing this point with righties, their response is always, "Obama doesn't have any experience either!"

Huh?

Obama worked as a community organizer early in South Chicago.

Palin won the Miss Wasilla beauty pageant and the honored title of Miss Congeniality for her masterful flute-work.

Obama used sheer grit and determination to get to and graduate from Columbia University and Harvard Law.

Palin got her degree in journalism from the University of Idaho.

Obama taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago.

Palin was on the Wasilla (population 5469) city council.

Obama served on the Illinois (population 12,852,548) State Senate for seven years.

Palin Becomes the Governor of Alaska, the 47th least populace state in the Union.

Obama becomes a Senator for Illinois in winning by largest margin of victory in a Senate race in Illinois history

Palin was voting down laws in Alaska that banned hunting bears from helicopters

Obama was sponsoring and championing bills that effect every citizen across country regarding things like health care, the environment, police reform and much more.


Please America, for all of our sakes, do not let this inexperienced Governor anywhere near the White House. It is irresponsible, it is dangerous, it is just plain WRONG.
