Palin Would Make a Great President...

Sarah Palin has not exhibited, to date, the knowledge or the mential adroitness necessary to be president of the United States.

 

Then how come Dan Quayle did so poorly in his VP debate in 1988?

 

1) I may tape it and have it available to watch later if it seems to be worthwhile. My wife's nephew plays on the high school freshmen football team and they have a home game on Thursday night and I would like to watch him play.

I have never paid much attention to the VP debates the last few elections. I didn't even watch the 1996 VP debate with Jack Kemp in it whose presidential campaign I worked in as a county chairman back in 1988(I did listen to it on the radio while I worked).

2) Then it was a poor strategy as Senator Obama won the debate.

 

I have to be honest with you. I have backed off of the Sarah Palin threads and I will tell you why.

This is probably going to rankle some folks from both sides of the issue but it is how I feel and what I believe. Folks keep saying that the biblical principle of women not having authority over men is reserved for the home and the church. But to me this is contradictory. If we wont allow a woman to run a small congregation of Christians in a Baptist Church, then how in the world can we accept a woman to run a whole country full of heathens?

Are any of the women that hold office or are CEO's in this country Baptist? If there are, I dont know of them. They always seem to be from one of the more liberal denominations.

Anyway, I think Sarah is a fine person and works hard to be where she is, and I will vote for McCain, but not because of Sarah. I personally think that positions of authority should be held by men, and I believe the Bible teaches this.

Ok, I am ready....I said it.....let me have it!!!

PS,,,,I think more folks feel this way than are likely to admit it publically because even though I believe it is biblical, it is certainly not politically correct.

 

I disagree with your stance toward women in secular positions of authority(I have a woman in authority over me at work two positions up and I have no problem with it); however, I respect where you are at on this issue.

 

We have hardly scratched the surface about who Sarah Palin is and yet their are those that would vote for her because she gives them a touchy feel good feeling which is the same reason that others would vote for Obama.

 

Sounds like she would make a great Mother Teresa but I can't see a Potus putting so much focus on kids with special needs with all the other kids and things going on in the nation and abroad. I would think you could give instructions and funding to your department of health and human services then check in once in a while.

Do you really make kids with special needs one of the responsibilities of the VEEP?

 

Maybe someday the Lord will show me that I am in error, but for now it seems like a double standard to seperate our spiritual convictions from our secular ones. I was always taught that all of my convictions should be based on spiritual guidance and biblical truth regardless of what is politically correct.

Anyway, I dont want to make a huge issue out of this, I just wanted to express my reservations about the prospect of a female president.

Can't speak for him but Palin don't get under my skin, Palin being VP does.

This is the point, with Obama it was said Potus doesn't have room for OJT. You seem to be advocating Palin is acceptable because she's a quick study. Obama was top of his Harvard law class so I don't think he's a dummy. He also stood toe to toe with McCain on foreign policy which means he is also a quick study.

Sure, she might be fine with McCain in office but what happens if he is unable to function. She becomes president and won't have his leadership to follow.

 

I never thought of this, but I must agree you are biblically sound in principle.

 

Of course, that presumes that there are sufficient real men to do the task (see Deborah!). There was only one real man in Britain in the days of the Thatcher government, and that was Maggie herself.

 

I agree, and the more you learn the more she seems self seeking to me. I'm not trying to be confrontational but it seems she has abused her position in many self seeking ways to include changing zoning laws to sell a house to the part about "thanks but no thanks" to the bridge. I feel as a Christian we should set the example especially in politics. We need to show the unsaved that being obedient and truthful will lead to blessings from above. It is better so say I got here despite my mistakes than to say I got here by lying about my mistakes. It is better to be truthful and not voted in than to lie to win a single vote.

 

LOL....well, if we cant find any real men to run the country then we can always bring Janet Reno or Madeline Albright out of retirement. Hey wouldnt that be a humdinger of a ticket? Reno/Albright......the feminists dream ticket....:laugh: :laugh:

As long as Joe Lieberman is alive McCain has someone he would whether have with him on the ticket. I sure hope I'm wrong, but I have this bad feeling that after Nov 4, McCain will pull back his high priced lawyers and let troopergate do what they will with Palin. I just don't trust that guy and don't like that they aren't pushing to resolve her situation. If they are afraid of democratic bias, why not just have the hearings televised to the nation so we all can judge?

 

I dont know about Palin, I havent given that much thought, although your idea is interesting.

But Obama? No telling what McCain's campaign will release or leak in October.

McCains campaign's sheltering of Palin kind of makes it look like she is not really taken serious politically by McCain, and in fact may just be window dressing.

Time will tell.

What Republican wouldn't make a great president in your opinion?
