I can’t take credit for this. It was sent to me by a friend but I think it says it all. The recent VP pick has changed the game in this election and my friend makes some very good points here. He posted them as a comment to a column I wrote on another blog expressing my unconditional approval of Palin as the VP pick.
Keep an open mind and read with discernment.
“Roger, I have nearly begged you not to set things up for me like this. I don’t understand how this pick could have been seriously made.
Consider the facts
-
Nearly zero quality management experience.
-
No foreign policy knowledge or experience. NONE.
-
From a state known for corruption within the party.
-
Elected to current position ONLY because of significant embarrassing factors about opponent.
-
Support is segregated to only a couple of isolated interest groups.
-
Purported to be an excellent speaker, but displayed serious lack of skill in the Essential National speech.
-
Grand objectives for economic vitality but no substance to back it.
The list of deficiencies goes on and on. Try as I will I simply can’t understand this selection. Huckabee, Romney, Thompson, even Paul are superior in every category.
I know he is stubborn and known for his own gaffs. But this is even below him. I just can’t figure out why Joe Biden would choose this man for a running mate. :)”
