Use any metifore you want about a puppet. Imagine studying for a let say a geography test on the Capitals of the U.S. and you had all 50 memorized, your mom helped you study, you were ready. And the queston is what is the captial of Guam and your answer is, but the captial of Maryland is Annapolis does that count. Now Biden did come off to me a little like an "old boy" at times which is somethng we don't need and have faith/trust in any longer. He should have attacked her harder on issues she continually side stepped. She sounded like someone running for a small town mayor rather than a world power. Now her nose didn't grow, but the strings were very visible. Her home values are great, but become a senator or congresswomen and go fight for it in Wash. DC, bulid a better track record of reform. I certainly wouldn't have trust in a branch manager of a huge global company to all of a sudden be the CEO, just because their labor dollars are in line. Vice President is more than just part of the legislative branch, be a tie breaking vote, they have to be able to run the country and I don't see her being able to do that. Maybe it's just a lack of information about her abilities, but if she can't handle reporters questions how she going to do around world leaders that demand tough answers. She thinks countries hate us because of womens rights and our freedoms. They hate us becuase we are arrogant and foreign policies. She says a country like Iran and N. Korea should not have nukes becuase their leadership is not stable. McCain wants to continue wars, invade Pakistan and Iran, "don't say it out loud", and we're going to put him in charge of Nukes. Palin says McCain knows how to win a war and we should not point fingers at the past. if he indeed knows how to win a war, you have to go back to the past, which she doesn't want to know how we failed, just know we failed and look to the future. Her solution seems to be trial and error, not find the root cause of past failures and not repeat them, but oops that didn't work let's try this. Or is it don't judge us on what we did and voted for in the past, just listen to what we say we will do, but we are now saying what it is you want to hear. Which poitician doesn't do that however. I knew G. Bush Sr, as a person I liked him, but when he chose Quayle I lost faith for the same reason, I doubted Quayle could run the country if needed. In closing, I don't like either candidate and since independant are shut out of all these debates and don't rely on corporate dollars to run, we are essentially stuck with three choices.Two candidates (choosing the lesser of two evils) or not voting and accepting blame in who wins. I'm not saying I dislike Palin, I personally feel she isn't ready yet.

Dammit exusaf... I had to be the grammar police but:

A) Please use paragraphs, otherwise it is difficult to read large solid blocks of text

B) The word is metaphor

I'm just lookin' out for you baby B-D

Thanks for at least looking at it and the advice. I haven't been this discussed with our leader in some time, and wrote with a little more passion than fore sight.

Perhaps you mean disgusted :)

And I agree with the points you make.
