Sorry Nintrogen, but your post lacks the Oxygen necessary to sustain life.
To be merciful, I will put it out of its misery:
Conservative bigwigs like George Will, Charles Krauthammer. Lincoln Chafee, David Frum, and Kathleen Parker are amongst other conservatives that agree. I want to say even Chuck Hagel agrees, but I'm not sure.
Will is the only "conservative bigwig" in your list. I am not surprised the
Eternal Tory is not impressed with the savage from the hinterlands. Her message is poison to East Coast weenies.
Kraut comes close, but being a gun-grabber & big spender, will always be asterisk-ed.
Parker is famous for swallowing the anti-Palin hype, going wobbly, calling for her to be replaced, and being quoted and praised by the MSM for her "growth." The same MSM pretty much ignored her book, "Save the Males," as it did not tear into a fellow conservative. Check out here wikipedia entry. As of 2008-10-09 1515CDT, EVERY SINGLE REFERENCE cited has to do with her slamming of Palin.
[What do Will, Kraut, & Parker all have in common? All are East Coast
Washington Post opinion writers and syndicated by the WaPo.]
Frum might be a bigwig
in his own mind, and maybe he is,
in Canada. Where he was born and is a citizen.
Chaffee has never been any sort of conservative, let alone a bigwig. The Chaffee family has, over generations, put the "INO" in "RINO." They have never claimed to be conservative.
Ah, Chuck Hagel. The favorite Republican of the press, now that McCain is running against their Golden Boy. He's always good for a anti-Republican or anti-conservative quote. Senator, yes. Conservative bigwig, not so much.
She doesn't even understand what the job of the Vice President is, as made obvious by her answer in the VP debate. That alone scares me.
You scare easily, especially since she got the answer right: POTUS replacement, Pres of Senate, with any and all privileges allowed by POTUS or Senate.
Your boy Biden flubbed the content of it and placed the executive powers in Article I. And he's the one with the spiffy law degree, isn't he?
There are far more people I'd rather have (both that I disagree and agree with, but can at least respect) in the office of vice president. Biden, for instance, as said, is on the wrong side of many issues, and I'd rather have a wrong, intelligent man like Biden than a correct idiot in charge should something happen.
Now there's a recipe for disaster and an interesting window on to your thought process. "Staaaay with the flock," even as it is lead over the cliff by a known black sheep...
I would much rather have someone with the correct world view and instincts than a glib liar like Biden who has spent his entire career seeking higher office and being wrong on
every great issue of the day. Or don't you recall the way he fought the Reagan re-build of the armed forces, fought Reagan when he got tough with the Soviets, and lied his way through the Bork nomination?
