Palin was disrespectful

Editor:

One of the reasons for watching the Vice-Presidential debates is to discover the character of the person who will be the second-in-command and possible leader of the Nation. Palin revealed how disrespectful she is of others and of the Constitution.

She ignored the moderator, Gwen Ifill's, questions, changing the subject to a completely different topic in complete disregard of protocol, displaying her lack of respect for the American public's need to know her position on these topics. She disrespectfully insinuated that Senator Biden couldn't understand the challenges of parenting because he is a man - in cruel disregard of his ordeal of raising two sons alone after the loss of his wife and daughter (and almost his two sons) in a fatal traffic accident.

And, lastly, her answers about broadening the Vice-President's power over the Legislative branch in violation of Article I of the Constitution revealed almost contempt for the Constitution.

She displayed all the disrespect of a dictator and a character that's not appropriate to lead a democratic country like America.
