The dumbing down of the GOP

Why aren't more conservatives disgusted that their party nominated a person devoid of qualifications for the vice presidency (again)?

    Put Barack to the same litmus test....

    "a person devoid of qualifications"? Funny I was thinking the same thing about the Democratic Party. They have nominated a person for the PRESIDENCY who is also devoid of qualifications. Two years as a senator (let's face it, he hasn't been to work in the past two years) does not a president make. He is all rhetoric with zero substance and/or real experience. I am one of the few democrats I know who isn't drinking the Kool-Aid. This is the best my party can do? First international crisis we face and Barack will be a deer in the headlights, clueless. As for Palin, she is also devoid of experience but she isn't running for president.
