Reguardless if she’s qualified or not, do not tell me she’s not in the pocket of big oil. If anyone watched her interview on CNBC, she talks constantly about the oil companies being the root of the Alaskan economy and important to “her people”. This pick represents McCain’s flawed energy strategy. Instead of looking to renewables first, they will support just finding more oil to satisfy our insatiable needs. Palin says that getting more oil from ANWAR is our answer, but she admits that it will be FIVE YEARS before the oil from Alaska will have an appreciable effect on our economy… what does she expect the suffering middle class families to do for FIVE YEARS??? Let their homes slip into foreclosure and their children suffer??

Jumped.The.Shark. She is a ridiculous pick.I don’t understand this choice at all. A VP’s singular characteristic is to be ready to step into the office of the Presidency. To consider her to be a heartbeat away from the Presidency of a 72 year old man who has had several bouts with cancer is irrational. She is a cross between harriet Myers and Thomas Eagleton – unqualified and unvetted apparently.

Jumped.The.Shark. She is a ridiculous choice. The singular attribute for a VP is to be ready to step into the office of the Presidency. Placing her a heartbeat away from the Presidency is mccain’s 1st decision and it is ridiculous – there’s just no other word.

Straight up question for/against RoevWade decision American’s are 63% in favour. She is a Domonionist fundie creationist global warming denier with no foreign policy experience whatsoever. She is a cross between harriet myers and Thomas Eagleton – unqualified and unvetted it turns out.

Actually, I have to agree with Nugent. The amount of Republican love from the commentors is scary. Did you listen to her acceptance speech? “We live in a dangerous world”–this is the exact paranoia-type attitude that leads the US to xenophobia and isolationism. And she’s proud that her son will be deployed to Iraq? What kind of messed up parent is glad their kid will be playing with guns? And she wants to overturn Roe vs Wade. If you guys want to let America go backwards in history rather than make new progress, and isolate itself more from the international community, sure vote for McCain/Palin. Why not..

Though this is a blog, it is posted above the regular Discover articles and placed prominently on the website. People come to Discover’s website to read about science, technology, medicine and maybe some insight on human nature.

This bit of hate by Benjamin Nugent is unexpected and disturbing here, and throws into question Discover’s integrity and objectivity. Please reconsider the appropriate placement of his blogs.

lol, this “Benjamin Nugent” is quite silly. A bit biased and didn’t care to do any research, hmm?
