It doesn't trouble me that anyone is scripted. They all are scripted to a point. What's troubling to me about Palin ( and no I'm not as focused on her as McCain) is that if she were needed to step into the Presidential role, her values and policies are a threat to what so many people have fought for..mainly women's rights. Now I understand that she'd have an awful difficult time of getting anything passed and I seriously doubt anyone in congress would even have the balls to pass or champion a bill revoking choice rights, but it's still there on the table.
What bothers me also is that she really hasn't done an interview. She was on ABC with Charlie Gibson and Fox with Sean Hannity.. seriously. those two are a joke when it comes to being real and asking the hard questions.. and if Palin is so damn scripted.. it's amusing how she can't even answer a question about foreign policy and has to hope McCain steps in about how her son served in the Alaskan Guard (which is wrong he was in the Army)
But this isn't a thread about vetting anyone.. this is a thread about namecalling.. it's a common practice of playing politics and quite frankly, both candidates are pretty shitty at it this go round.
