Quote from gnome:
Can you imagine how Palin MIGHT be a satisfactory or even good POTUS?
Admittedly, she has little experience. Well, look at what America has endured under EXPERIENCED politicians.
Let's say Palin did become POTUS. She doesn't have to know everything... she doesn't have to know hardly ANYTHING...
She'd have all the advisors anyone could ever use to "explain things"... then in her capacity as POTUS, she'd have to make a decision.
If that decision were in the best interest of the country and our people, that's all she would need to do... and wouldn't THAT be a refreshing change...
gnome,
I really like your thread and agree with you on many points. On this one I guess we disagree and in my mind its a sad state of affairs.
I have a hard time coming up with another professional job where lives and other peoples financial well being is at stake where having little or no experience is a good thing.
This super media monkey f#$K where neither party says anything of meaning above trying to act like santa to as many as possible is about as good of an endorsement for the electoral college (as originally intended) as I can imagine.
Way too many people who are unqualified to vote are not only allowed to vote but encouraged to do so. All because so many are taught in school that everyone should vote. Sorry that its not a nice thing to say but NOT everyone should be voting that is at the polling place.
