John Carlson is right. As he stated in Saturday\u2019s column, Sarah Palin is \u201c\u2026a successful, attractive woman with working-class roots, a career and a family. She\u2019s also pro-life, up front about her faith, and calls herself a conservative\u2026\u201d And with all those things going for her, Ms. Palin is still not qualified to be the vice president of the United States.<\/p>\n

Contrary to what John Carlson would have us believe, it is not only \u201cliberals (most of them women)\u201d who disapprove of Sarah Palin. This past week alone, George Will, David Brooks and Jack Cafferty spoke out against her readiness to be vice president of the U.S.<\/p>\n

On Friday, Kathleen Parker, writing on \u201cNational Review Online\u201d even called for Palin to step down for the good of the Republican Party and the country.<\/p>\n

Judging from the conservative outcry, it looks like a whole lot more folks than the \u201cbrazen hypocritical liberals (most of them woman),\u201d Carlson references in his column are assessing Sarah Palin not qualified to be the vice president of the United States.<\/p>\n

Particularly, not now when the economy is on the verge of collapse, the U.S. is fighting two wars, plus an ever-present war on terror, jobs are disappearing by the thousands and a recession looms.<\/p>\n

John Carlson\u2019s seal of approval for Sarah Palin surprises me. I never saw him as a sucker for a pretty face.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
