The Presidential campaign of 2012 is about to begin, as soon as the midterm congressional elections take place on November 2.
This country faces many tough challenges, and we need candidates for the Presidency who are fully qualified to deal with the multitude of issues that are faced by the occupant in the White House!
Certainly, we cannot expect perfection from our presidential candidates, but we have a right to expect basic competency and knowledge of economics, science, and international relations at the least!
Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has not shown competency in any of these areas, and refuses to face the challenge of interviews with media that she deems as unfriendly! We cannot afford to have a President who is so lacking in skills, knowledge, and insights about national and international affairs as Sarah Palin represents!
The question that must be asked of EVERY Republican Presidential candidate–Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, Newt Gingrich, Mitch Daniels, Haley Barbour, Tim Pawlenty, Rick Santorum, John Thune, Bobby Jindal and any others–do you believe Sarah Palin is qualified to be President of the United States?
If they refuse to answer, they should be rejected, and if they say that she is qualified, they should be rejected! If they say she is not qualified, call any of them who do so a profile in courage, as it would be the absolute truth!
We deserve the best, not just a photogenic quitter who has never given any evidence of any deep thoughts or ideas! We should hope that someday we will have a woman President, but not just any woman! Mediocrity cannot be allowed to govern the greatest nation in the world!
