I have lost a lot of respect for the republicans because of what they became. I loved reagan, he was great. But when the religious right and other psychos like Sarah Palin came in, it is hard to respect them. Am I right or am i just mistaken.
You are mistaken.
The only thing she lacked was a few months of serious study of global issues.
In every other respect she was superior to Joe Biden. And in some ways she had better qualifications than Barack Obama.
Remember that Sarah Palin has:
Managed a billion dollar state economy and budget.
Managed dozens of thousands of state employees.
Dealt with employee and union issues.
Went toe to toe with Big Oil and renegotiated a $40 Billion natural gas pipeline deal.
And in addition to her other gubernatorial duties, Palin also took on the entrenched establishment in her own state party leadership to root out corruption.
Something not even Shwarzenegger has dared to try in California.
On the other hand, neither Biden nor Obama have this level of successful administration or dealt with such issue or managed a budget as large as she has.
In addition, Joe Biden suggested giving Iran $200 Million after 9/11 so they would like us. :shock:
In addition, he is a HUGE supporter of the United Nations.
And he proposed partitioning Iraq into three parts, an idea the Iraqis quickly kicked to the curb. As well they would have. When we hear people talk about how America comes into a country and runs roughshod over their culture and tradition and history, this idea gives us an idea of the mentality of Washington's long time elected officials who think they can do whatever they want.
He is a very nice man but just an awfully mediocre guy when it comes to foreign policy even though he's been exposed to it for 30 years.
Give Sarah Palin 4 years and you watch how much she learns.
What can be learned, she will learn. What can't be learned she already has and Biden never will have.
