Pataki Explains Palin's Readiness
Here’s former Governor George Pataki, fielding questions from reporters after speaking to the New York delegation at the Republican National Convention this week. He defended Sarah Palin’s preparedness to be vice president, citing the fact that as governor, she was in charge of her state’s national guard.
Later, I asked Pataki to name some decisions she’s made with respect to the national guard that demonstrates her preparedness (a question that's been posed to more than one person, so far without a clear answer). Pataki did not give me a specific example.
[Sarah Palin] reminds me of 1988 when an aide to Dan Quayle gushed, "You can tell by the way he plays golf he's a natural leader."
Sarah Palin is a tax-and-borrow-and-spend Republican. As mayor, she increased the size of Wasilla's budget by 40% after adjusting for inflation, raised taxes to pay for a sports center that isn't paying off, and left with a $19 million long-term debt that didn't exist when she took office.
Amazing, Pataki heard this woman speak one time now he has jumped on her ban wagon. I guess people are saying anyone is better in the white house than a black man.
Take it or Leave it...Palin is going to be our next VP - the woman has integrity - a hell of alot more than your Liberal ticket and the Clintons.
Dan Jacoby is a liberal idiot who is going to eat crow November 5th. The NYS Senate will remain Republican and McCain/Palin will be elected. And you, Jacoby, are going to look for a real job and not be a clown for the rest of your vacant life.
