Sarah Palin Really Unfit for Public Office - An Editorial

The more I read about Sarah Palin the more disgusted I become with her in running for public office.

First she too quickly abandons her job as Alaska's governor due to all the so-called pressure she seems to constantly endure. That is not a good sign for a politician seeking a new public office. It clearly shows it is too easy for her to break under pressure. How would she react in a national emergency while being President? Would she suddenly quit and run away without standing up and giving a good fight in defending her principles? Such an attitude clearly shows she does not have enough character to stand pressure and effectively deal with it.

Secondly, the Constitution as drafted by our Founding Fathers who clearly did not women running for public office only wanted men to serve which can be found to be quite evident when they used the words "he" and "his" alone in describing the qualifications for President, Vice-President, Senator or Representative in this noble document. They felt so strongly and felt others did also that they just used the words "his" and "he" rather than specifying the words "male" or "female" Therefore, she is not qualified under the Constitution to run for President or Vice-President., Now I don't agree with them in this decision as I feel there are many qualified women to serve in those position and certainly advocate an amendment added clarifying women can run for Federal public office even though I wouldn't vote for Mrs. "you betcha".

And thirdly her method of speaking before she thinks shows her extreme immaturity in appearing in public as she did in Canada telling how her family would go to Canada to get health care. We cannot have good leaders that constantly put their foot in their mouth every time they speak and then have to issue statements clarifying their position.

For a naive person such as Sarah Palin her real place is serving in the home and not seeking public office. Mrs. Palin has enough personal problems to handle and she needs to address them before dealing with national and worldwide ones. Let's see if she can handle them and if not SHE CERTAINLY IS NOT QUALIFIED TO SERVE US IN ANY FORM OF PUBLIC OFFICE.

I'm not disgusted, but I completely agree with you. She does not have very good instincts for what not to say at public presentations. She is a bit naive for me and lacks real maturity of the state person variety.

First she too quickly abandons her job as Alaska's governor due to all the so-called pressure she seems to constantly endure. That is not a good sign for a politician seeking a new public office. It clearly shows it is too easy for her to break under pressure. How would she react in a national emergency while being President? Would she suddenly quit and run away without standing up and giving a good fight in defending her principles?

Maybe she was forced to abandon the position. We probably would never know. But yes, that was not a good move either.

Secondly, the Constitution as drafted by our Founding Fathers who clearly did not women running for public office only wanted men to serve which can be found to be quite evident when they used the words "he" and "his" alone in describing the qualifications for President, Vice-President, Senator or Representative in this noble document. They felt so strongly and felt others did also that they just used the words "his" and "he" rather than specifying the words "male" or "female" Therefore, she is not qualified under the Constitution to run for President or Vice-President., Now I don't agree with them in this decision as I feel there are many qualified women to serve in those position and certainly advocate an amendment added clarifying women can run for Federal public office even though I wouldn't vote for Mrs. "you betcha".
Perhaps discrimination against gender has moved along quite a while since then. At the time of the Founding Fathers, women were not able to vote. Women are in general much more educated than they were then. In fact always have to be miles better in what they are doing, to effectively compete for Government positions. Some are very good at it. I believe the United States is ready for a President who is female, if that person is the better candidate for the position. Palin in my view is far from it, and may be setting things back for women in general, as I can't see how anyone can seriously regard her for the position.

And thirdly her method of speaking before she thinks shows her extreme immaturity in appearing in public as she did in Canada telling how her family would go to Canada to get health care. We cannot have good leaders that constantly put their foot in their mouth every time they speak and then have to issue statements clarifying their position.

Agreed she is a bit naive.
Let's see if she can handle them and if not SHE CERTAINLY IS NOT QUALIFIED TO SERVE US IN ANY FORM OF PUBLIC OFFICE.
Also agreed but for different reasons. I think she is more suited for a leadership position in non-government organisations, as she does have a charismatic impact. She can make a difference. But Government is not the right place for her.
