If so, does this de-legitimize any answers one uses?
Even though McCain Camp successfully neutered Gwen Ifil by a surprise and underhanded predebate attack on her credibility, we should be outraged by Palin’s ability to be able to bring notes (Flash Cards) which she continued to study and refer to throughout the debate (which seems alot like Cheating). "JULIE MENIN, Founder & President of Wall Street Rising: stated she found it "interesting that Plain used her notes throughout the debate. And when you are a leader, you don’t have time to look at notes. So I found her use of constantly shuffling through her note cards and looking down for the answers very disconcerting and troubling overall." [AC 360] Does not this continued use of flash cards, de-legitimize any and all of Sarah Palin's answers? After all, she is not in high school!
But we also should not be fooled by Palin's acting and sparring abilities to successfully weave and bob and her uncanny ability not to answer questions she does not like in contradiction to her also not being able to intelligently answer complex questions on the spot! May be she feels the American people have no need to be given intelligent and thoughtful answers to the pressing questions of today and that we would rather be winked at and called hockey moms and Joe Six-packs while our economy is in ruins!
What we really need is our candidates to present truth, not lies and talking points of lies which have nothing to do with reality. We have been lied too enough in this country. We need leaders who are of high moral character and who believe their word is their bond.
And because Sarah Palin, who for some is woefully unqualified and who could be a Heartbeat away, some people are "Starting to question McCain’s mental fitness. McCain’s interviews have become increasingly angry, hostile and unhinged. He seems to be on the verge of some kind of mental collapse. A big part of McCain’s erratic behavior is due to Obama having gotten deep, deep, deep inside his head. If McCain’s brain was x-rayed, it would reveal Obama sitting comfortably upon McCain’s cerebral peduncles. But, it is more than that. I believe McCain’s increasing instability is being caused by the stress of the campaign and his 72 year old body not being able to get the rest that it requires to function properly. That isn’t ageism—that is a simple fact of life. I wondered how McCain, being in advanced years, would respond under the grueling pace of a general election. I think we are all beginning to find out and it really isn’t a pretty site. He is on the verge of some kind of mental collapse.
