Should Palin step down? Conservatives think so, and so do I

Many conservatives have voiced their opinions that Sarah Palin should remove herself from the ballot, including George Will and Kathleen Parker.

David Brooks, a conservative writer on the New York Times said "Do I think she’s ready to be president or vice president? No, she’s not even close to that."

And, then again, theres always that question of whether or not Sarah Palin actually wants to be an American. She has been present many times at Alaskan Independence Party meetings, and even spoke this year at the AIP opening convention. Her husband was a mamber for a decade.

The Alaskan Independence Party is a group that advocates the secession of Alaska from the United States. And, if they really want to get themselves out of the United States, then Haveing Sarah Palin be the one Alaskan in the publics eye is a great way to do it...hell, if all Alaskans are like that lets just kick them out of the US (apologies to all Alaskans reading this).

But, here's the bottom line: Palin has no experience, and yeah, she gets a lot of bashing from a lot of liberals, but the fact that a lot of strong conservatives are actually speaking out against her placement as VP candidate, well that should say something pretty important about her.

Sarah Palin is not ready to be in this position: conservatives who traditionally side solely with the GOP are comming out against her, then something must be done now to make sure that Sarah Palin is never in a position of extreme power.

That is ridiculous. She may be incompetent in almost every sense of the word but why would anyone take themselves off the ballot. If she did that she would truly be the single stupidest person in political history and don't tell me she already is. Because even if she is anyone with a fraction of a brain that can reason will not do such a thing as take themselves off the ballot. Maybe republicans disagree with her, maybe they want to clear their names from being associated with hers for their personal gain. If she wins they will swarm around her and yearn for her approval. But I don't know any Republican or Democratic politician who could ask a vice presidential candidate like Sarah Palin who hasn't done anything wrong to simply step down.
