Go back through the thread. We have gone over a few times the reasons people don't want someone who believes men walked with dinosaurs 6,000 years ago to be POTUS.

She's only popular because of her looks.  She's got the whole milf thing going on.  You think anyone would give a single shit about what comes out of her mouth if she were the 300lb disgraced governor of the welfare state of alaska?

i'm pretty sure they use her as another "scarecrow" to have obama (or somebody who'd continue his bullshit) re-elected. i see no other reason, really. sure, they'll have all the shitfies voting for her, that's kinda unavoidable, but anybody with a modicum of common sense would vote anyone just to be against that crazy bitch. it's just like it was with mccain, really, only this time they obviously need a better bogeyman.

I read through 7 pages of this shit, brick walls talking to eachother. Great 'debate' guys, rehash the same rubbish and shoot it down in 50 different ways.

And lowing, it's ridiculous how you're comparing Obama to Palin in terms of intelligence. You can't catch Obama on anything except people he associated / talked to and him mis-speaking. You're comparing this to a woman who has -personally- shown to be completely (wilfully) ignorant of history and biology (the latter indicating a huge lack of knowledge and interest on scientific fields). Furthermore, her cultural background is extremely lacking if she's trying to ban books like Brave New World and Lord of the Flies from a library, deeming them to be 'offending'.

Generally, you don't want someone who doesn't understand science, lacks even the most basic knowledge of history, isn't well-read and who likes to come across as a 'hockey mom' being anywhere near a position of actual power, let alone leading a nation. You don't want to set her across people like Hu Jintao, Putin or Sarkozy to discuss international issues, relations and other political endeavours. She doesn't even personally understand them, is quite probably ignorant of the cultural barrier and isn't articulate on any level bar the most basic forms of conversation. She embodies ignorance and idiocy. You'd see all three of the aforementioned politicians either walking out of the room before she's even started/finished talking or taking full advantage of her stupidity.

Last but not least, as Jay mentioned before, she's got her own TV show in which she has access to the editing and even there she only comes across as a blissfully ignorant woman. Only serves to reinforce the belief that Palin is an idiot, with her own consent to make matters worse.

You're comparing this to your current POTUS, a well read articulate debater, politically savvy summa cum laude Harvard graduate who has at the very least shown to be reasonable. If you can't see the enormous difference between the two then either you are blinded by some sort of hatred for Obama or you seriously need to work on what you value in a leading figure. It's not a difference of opinion, if you truly believe Palin isn't any worse, or maybe even better than Obama, there's something seriously wrong in your reasoning.

Seriously though, at the end of the day Palin is (was) nothing more than the representation of traditional family values in the modern era. When it came to actual politics, she was left floundering. Sure, her personality has a certain charm and I'm sure she's a good person, but she has no political nouse and clearly was in over her head during the last election. I saw a debate or two between her and Biden and they were total opposites in many ways. Biden seemed to be this fairly unpersonable, typical politician whilst Palin was a charming, if not kinda ditzy, Governor of a state that is considered a bit of a backwater. She was a novelty.

At least, all that is the impression I got (and can remember at the moment).

Doubt she'll run, I'd vote for her though if I had to choose between Obama and Palin though. I personally wish Paul Ryan would run for president.

All for all, that would not be the deal breaker in the voting booth when there so much more things to worry about. In fact, if that is the only thing you got, she is way ahead of Obama already.
She is entitled to her opinion, and I'm happy for her to express it at Church and at home. Not in the classroom of children who should be taught science, not creationism.

For me, teaching kids that the Flintsones is fact, is a deal breaker.
Evolution is not science, no matter how much you say it is.

Okay War Man, as you have to be very knowledgeable in the field of biology to confidently suggest that evolution is a load of unscientific bollocks, I'd like you to explain to me why it is. You obviously know a thing or two that many of the world's most influential and renowned scientists over the last couple centuries didn't get.

Oh, and they were influential and renowned for their reason, not hocus-pocus and political chit chat.

Whatever, the theory of evolution has come through the scientific process and is currently the premier theory.
To say its not science is like saying speaking isn't language.

But then I wasn't homeschooled so what do I know.
