Anti Sarah Palin Society

It's not really an either or choice, seeing that Palin isn't running for president, while Obama is.

Because it attacks her for her physical characteristics. Men don't get attacked for being ugly, now do they? Just like men don't get attacked for not abandoning their career to take care of their children, while Palin was.

Oh come come, it is not a completely far fetched notion to envisage that in a few months time McCain will have walked towards the light. One must always plan for the worst

^This, on the other hand, is a more serious crime IMHO. I can't detect whether you're being a mite facetious or not (apologies if you are) but I think ageism is equally as bad as racism/sexist/homophobia etc. I guess everyone laughs at McCain's age a little, but I don't think it should honestly count against him.

Sure it is. I'm not saying it's impossible, but it's not probable either. No more probable than Obama getting lung cancer anyway, seeing that he's smoked for 25 years and only stopped year ago.

Really? I don't recall someone calling Obama or McCain ugly.

:wtf?: Sport, I'm so not laughing at him. The fact is that if he is elected at 72 years old he will be the oldest POTUS ever. And let's face it, 72 year olds drop dead every day why should he be any different, considering a history of cardiac problems, factoring in the fact that he has one of the most stressful jobs in the world.

Following on from the Anti Obama Society, does anyone here share my dislike of Sarah Palin?

Her views aside, why is she any less qualified than Obama?

whereas Palin doesn't even believe that global warming is man made!

Well perhaps not, but the likelihood of a 72 year old man with a history of health problems dying in the next five years and a 47 year old man getting lung cancer and dying are very different.

I mean look at Ariel Sharon, he goes into a coma leaving Olmert in charge. I'd rather that doesn't happen with McCain and Palin, Olmert was bad enough.

Or maybe most people have a brain and engaged it to realise she's a complete retard.

I'm not saying she's clever, I'm just saying that most people haven't even tried to get an own impression of her, and just jumps the bandwagon. Same as with Obama

Don't be so snide, great one who has gone through the effort to know every little detail about the candidates. What a **** attitude to have. Many people have been paying attention to what she has been saying. The fact is - they don't like what they hear. Look at the amount of hits on videos of her being interviewed etc - that's as close as you can get to an impression of her given all the political rallies etc are heavily stage-managed - it's not surprising people don't like her! She's a real case of "only in America...." - she wouldn't move beyond her local council in Europe.

I thought this was a serious response society to another serious society. But peeweedan? come on, the guy could be Bushs' son in law. No need for this society...it should be taken as a given the majority of european students are anti-this-very-crazy-weird-woman. I have to agree with an earlier poster who asked where this notion of being average qualified you to run for high office. It's a terrible world we live in.

Again, please tell me why Obama is more qualified to become PRESIDENT then Palin is to become VICE President

Foreign policy experience for both.

P.S. Only person qualified to be president is the current president, ditto for vice.

I would also argue that a law professor who was president of the harvard law review has a lot more going for him then a "hockey mum" who took 6 years to complete a 4 year communications degree. Hmm!

Ronald Reagan's second term started when he was 74. If we assume McCain is a one term candidate?

Why do you make that assumption?

Because, peopele says she's unqualified.. No she's not, she has the equivalent of Obama and Bill Clinton at the time he took office. She has a problem with being good looking. Becasuse of that, people have trouble taking her seriously.
