Worst Vice Presidential Candidate in History Seeks the Top of the TIcket in 2012

Robert J. Ellsberg writes that Sarah Palin is the "worst vice presidential pick in history".  Sarah Palin was the mayor of a small town for six years, and Governor of Alaska for two years before she quit that position. She has absolutely no national public service experience.  Her only legislative experience has been to sit on the council of what most honestly could be called a village.

In 2008, Sarah Palin asked to be placed first in the line to become President of the United States, running with the oldest presidential candidate in American history. Now, Palin is campaigning to become the Republican Party's presidential candidate herself for the 2012 election.

The combination of Sarah Palin's inexperience, her tendency to speak before thinking, and her involvement in abuse-of-power scandals as Governor suggested that indeed, Sarah Palin was the worst vice presidential candidate ever.  Heck, there are even polar bears against Palin.


Is it possible that, in 2012, the GOP will make Sarah Palin its nominee for President of the United States?

You bet he would be

Louis_Dubois says:

He was right to choose her so he can lose this election!
She even met with Bono, King of Ireland. lol

jimcook says:

Well, that depends on whether the American people pay attention to detail or are superficial. If the American people are superficial and just say, "Hey, change!" regardless of Palin's policy preference for using government to shove her religious standards down others' throats, then the strategy may well work. Unfortunately, I think the American people are pretty darned superficial.

No way! Choosing Palin would be insane.

bgamall says:

No all religious people support Sarah Palin. If you go to squidoo.com/palinsucks you will see that historically, the people who supported church/state really do not have any sound understanding of the words of Christ. They have caused all manner of evil, including waging religious wars, killing people for their religious views, etc. Christ said that his kingdom was not of this world, so his servants should not fight the authorities of this world. I don't view the dominionists, who want to "convert" the world by force as being true Christians. I believe they are off the mark. I would not say that there is no truth in the world, but I just don't happen to believe that Palin has it.

mulberry says:

I guess I feel it was the wrong choice for McCain for larger reasons that his campaign success or failure. I respected him as a man (though I wasn't going to vote for him) until I became disenchanted that he would bring her to the forefront of national politics-- to potentially linger in our future for years to come. She represents all that is ugly in us, hawkish, narrow minded, crass, the anti-thesis of learned...she may represent "common", but I pray she doesn't represent us as "typical". I am certain she doesn't inspire us to be better or more.

Margo_Arrowsmith says:

Well, she was mayor in a city that had a supervisor doing the work and still tried to fire the head librarian because she wouldn't get rid of 'offensive' books. That is the good news about her.

McCain choose her for the same reason the Bush I choose Quail, they have no respect for women.

EuroSquid says:

Please watch the Palin interview with Katie Couric where Couric asks Palin about the $700 Billion Bailout and Palin has a complete meltdown. Tell me if that does not frighten you to think that she is one 72 year old man's heartbeat away from the presidency.

irregularworld says:

Sarah Palin is inexperienced, unready for the presidency, and espouses political ideology too far off in the right wing world of Creationism and marriage bigotry. Plus, Palin is in the middle of political scandal about her abuse of power and unethical behavior as Governor. What a dumb pick for McCain!

Who is the real Palin?

In 2008, Sarah Palin was chosen because her inexperience makes her difficult to confront. In 2009, Sarah Palin quit the governorship of Alaska. She doesn't have much of a record to examine. That's why it's especially important that American voters know as much about Palin as possible. Please share what you know here.

Sarah Palin Censored Library Books 

Church lady moral values led Sarah Palin to threaten the librarian

The following insight into the character of Sarah Palin comes from Anne Kilkenny, a resident of Wasilla who has been observing Palin's abuse of power for the last ten years.

"She's not very tolerant of divergent opinions or open to outside ideas or compromise. As Mayor, she fought ideas that weren't generated by her or her staff. Ideas weren't evaluated on their merits, but on the basis of who proposed them.

While Sarah was Mayor of Wasilla she tried to fire our highly respected City Librarian because the Librarian refused to consider removing from the library some books that Sarah wanted removed. City residents rallied to the defense of the City Librarian and against Palin's attempt at out-and-out censorship, so Palin backed down and withdrew her termination letter. People who fought her attempt to oust the Librarian are on her enemies list to this day."

Palinisms 

A Palinism is an expression of the essential character of Sarah Palin: Ideologically extreme and intellectually incoherent.

Sarah Palin is a unique character: She claims to be a pit bull with lipstick, but runs scared from reporters who ask simple questions. She has enough confidence to support extreme ideas, but lacks the mental coherence to explain why she supports those ideas. Mixed metaphors, dangling fragments of arguments mix with archaic superstitions and absolute faith in the knowledge of the fate of the universe all come create the creature that we know as Sarah Palin.

A Palinism is an expression from the lips of Sarah Palin, that reveals this character of incoherent certainty. For example, there was the time that Sarah Palin worried about Putin's head entering American air space. There was the toxic sludge on Wall Street that Sarah Palin promised to cure. There was Sarah Palin's idea for cutting government spending: A new program to give hundreds of billions of government money to Wall Street.

Read these and more as you read through the collection of Palinisms.
