Palin's Astounding Lack of Knowledge and Competence

October 2, 2008 RSS Feed Print

All anybody has to do is watch this CBS News video of Sen. Joe Biden and Gov. Sarah Palin on the landmark Supreme Court decision Roe. v. Wade.

One of the speakers offers keen legal insight into the meaning of the ruling and the background behind it. One of the speakers stumbles around and reveals a horrifying lack of knowledge and information.

One of the speakers is then asked about Supreme Court rulings that were wrong and immediately posits the court's overturning of a law that person wrote. The other cannot think of any other Supreme Court decision but Roe.

Many noted conservatives have already called Governor Palin's lack of political experience and her hole-ridden knowledge base an embarrassment to the GOP. If this video doesn't prove that point, I don't know what would.

Even though Republican commentators pronounced the debate a victory for her, the McCain campaign says she will do more interviews between now and the election. That goes to show you what his campaign thinks of her.

I think Palin really lack of all the knowledge in the world. one good point is shown through the part she disagree to end war in Iraq.Just how much more many does the government wants to throw into the war?A great example in the history is the failure of RU in Iraq about 20 to 30 years ago.There is no quick way to end to the war or destroy all terrorist in the world.Comparing the crisis now and the war,if you are the government,where do you think you will put the money into?
