After eight years of the "shoot first, ask questions later" diplomacy of George W. Bush, I would think the American people might want someone in office with a bit more finesse. Someone with an understanding of complex issues. In other words, someone who isn't Sarah Palin.
Fundamentalist mindsets, as demonstrated by George W. Bush and Sarah Palin, are a disaster when coupled with political management. Especially on the global scale. This is the mentality of "You're either with us or against us" and "Bring 'em on!" Her answer to the Russia question was Sarah Palin's "Bring 'em on!" moment.
Frightening.
Personal beliefs are one thing. As when someone says, "'Yes, I think I will see Jesus come back to earth in my lifetime.'" It's one thing to believe something, but something else entirely when someone would use their position as Vice President to hasten Armageddon, which could kill billions.
Sarah Palin- just as reckless, stubborn, knee-jerk and hair-trigger as George W. Bush. Maybe even worse.
