Challenge accepted. I will put together a composite of her interviews and speeches that will well support my contention she is under-educated, speaks in cliches and soundbites and very little original to say, which collectively would disqualify her from consideration as POTUS, at least as far as a reasonably discerning/thinking voter would be concerned. Give me the weekend to put this together, as I am a bit busy building a business (which is how I spend my spare time when not posting on DP).
Im sure the context and cherry picking will a joy to behold.
I am not here to argue her policies. That is not germane to my argument. Policy discussion is for those qualified for the position. In my view, she is not, so how she feels about the issues is irrelevant. Actually the policies are what matters, the rest is just window dressing. If youre seriously going to take a stand that issues dont matter, you arent worth talking to.
As for her being a quitter; well, quitting in the middle of your first term as Governor is a pretty prima-facie case for the proposition. She quit! You can not argue otherwise, so you are left to argue/rationalize why she quit and why should should not be viewed as a quitter. I am afraid the burden of proof on that front is on you. If one throws in her unremarkable college record as a four-time drop out of several lower tier colleges (though granted she ultimately finished), it kind of supports the notion that she is less than a goal oriented, committed individual. Her ability to climb the political ladder would argue the exact opposite, as would raising a family in the midst of it while being part of a family business. That seems goal oriented to me, maybe not your goals but goals that are worthwhile.
The conventional wisdom about Palin is more in-line with my point of view than otherwise. Typically, it would be more incumbent upon you to prove that she was a credible candidate for POTUS (that she had the basic credentials, attributes or abilities) as you would be arguing the minority position. I will do my part in this challenge, but let me challenge you to put up one (preferably more) examples of Sarah actually making some type of profound, well supported, in argument, statement of policy or position.The convetional wisdom is wrong often enough that accepting it makes you seem exactly what you accuse Palin of. For the last part of this pathetic paragraph, you have tons of material to work through about positions on every subject that has come for debate in the last 2 years. For you to make that statement argues that you just arent debating in good faith. You know the policies, you stated above they dont concern you. You are stating from the outset that you dont care about something you are asking me to spend time and effort on. Totally asinine position and effort on your part.
