In a demand for honesty and truth, I would like to see this be a key question for McCain to address in the debate. Palin demonstrates a narcissistic personality disorder. Evidence at the debate...she didn't believe that SHE had to answer questions that she didn't want to answer. Evidence now, she didn't do anything ILLEGAL. Therefore, she didn't do anything wrong. She is an actor, she thrives on being the center of attention, she projects her shortcomings on others, she makes excuses, such as how those mean, "gotcha" journalists were picking on her, when in fact, she simply did not KNOW, and she exhibits grandiose thinking. She clearly does NOT possess the level of knowledge and competencies for the position she seeks, yet she thinks she does. We expect fifth graders to know more than she does about the US government. She also minimizes the seriousness of this.
Once again, the emperor has no clothes, and the lemmings fail to notice.
It is time to have leaders who have abilities to listen, and think critically, and to have the knowledge and skills desired to lead this country. We have had 8 years with the dimmest bulb in the box. Palin's academic record remains an unknown. My guess is she was the party girl, spending too much time with "Joe Six Pack."
Palin has shown many instances of LYING. Doesn't she get it?

Pathological people don't believe they lie, ever.

Megalomaniacal people have never made any mistakes, ever.

Combine the two

It is all her opponents, the democrats, Obama, and people that just hate her for no reason spreading these ideas that she somehow abused her power - she can't bring herself to face the truth - it is just too painful.

Susi, I agree, if in fact she truly believes what she is saying rather than taking the politically expedient way out. I am amazed at her going from mayor to governor and now VP candidate and thinking that her credentials actually mean anything as far as qualifications for this office. If she actually believes that she is a partner and will be allowed any kind of responsibility or authority a la Cheney, her level of delusion is awe inspiring. Unfortunately (for her - fortunately for us), she will wake up the morning after the election to discover Obama has won, and that McCain no longer is accepting her calls. When she discovers that no one else in the Republican party will take her calls either, she'll have to go home to Alaska and deal with everyone she's been stepping on with those stilleto heals and learn that sometimes, you do have to answer the question whether you want to or not.

Just because her statements are contradicted by the actual report doesn't mean that she hasn't read it; she's just counting on the majority of her listeners *not* reading it.

So...I guess she doesn't read everything in front of her, huh?
