Political Punch

I am not writing to judge her as a good or bad mother- but, I could not help but notice when she finished the speech in Dayton how her little girl was left to walk alone straggling behind her mom. How could she let her adorable little girl, with her smile be totally ignored and left to stand there alone or follow her mom around the crowded podium? Also from body language of the whole family, I was concerned as I saw no warmth between siblings, this little girl could have her mom hold her hand, her dad, or at least Mom Palin could have kept an eye on where the little girl was on the stage- instead of leaving her to follow around at the knee height of all the adults. McCain did not seem to notice her either. At the least in a warm family I would have expected the older siblings to watch over their little sister or hold her hand.( I know in my family the older kids automatically look out for the little ones) Watch the clip again to see what I mean.

Basking in the limelight with no concern or even any attention to even her young daughter or... her other kids for that matter. I hope she learns to hold her little daughters' hand and not ignore the child's needs when on the stage like that ever again... or at the least hire a nanny who will tend to the child's needs. Children have many needs and especially when they subjected to being in a new environment or the political spotlight. This made me really question all the hubbub of her being a great mom.

Also most of my pro-life adopt children who need home if they want kids after 40 and they practice responsible family planning -rather than have more kids at that age which is unfair risk for the child having genetic problems for their whole lives. It is the child who lives with these issues. Most parents don't have money to help their kids with all the related physical and medical problems that come with downs syndrome. The Governor has great health insurance- but what about insurance in Alaska for families for kids with disabilities who need medical care that their families can't afford!

Also, the few friends who did get pregnant after 40 did not even get any genetic testing- why as pro-life did Palin even get genetic testing?

Does anyone here actually support a candidate based on a specific policy or set of policies? It looks to me like everybody is basing their opinions on demographic make-up or who they consider to be more charismatic. Age and likeability do not get the job done.

McCain's lame and so is his VP choice. Nuff said..

Obama/Biden '08

Obama promises endless entitlements and endless love throughout the world. He proposes to tax the top earners to pay for all the joy. The top 1% already pay about40% of all taxes in the US. The average earner in the top 1% makes 30 times the national average and pays about 500 times the national average in all taxes. Do they get more Army? More Social Security? More Medicare, Welsfare, Food Stamps?? The top pays more than its fair share. We need government to SPEND LESS.
I'm going out to dinner tonight, 'cause I guess Obama's gonna pick up the check. Palin cuts spending, fat and corruption-- so does McCain. Obama and Biden are more of the same -- more taxes, more spending, more dumping on America as mired in some sad past and failing. Right. Check out the lines to get into Russia and China and Cuba. Elitist, smug socialists have taken over the Democratic party. Kidos.

McCain has put the country at risk -- all ads aare needed to point thiks out ,,,

McCain VP and his rash behavior -- Country at Risk
More rash dangerous decisions.

McCain only talked with his VP choice last week. He just does not know her. McCain is willing to make a decision that could impact the country on one conversation!!!

And we all know that McCain still has cancer. He looked death in the eye 2 times. One was just after the 2000 presidential race where he tried to be selected by the GOP presidential candidate. Shortly after he had to have an operation of 5 hours. He gets checked once a month. But there is nothing that can be done if the cancer starts to spread quickly. That means that there is a chance that he will die or be very sick when he is President. This puts his VP choice as the new President. She a smart and clever person, but is is not brilliant and grossly ignorant of the world. There are high school students that know more than she does.

Biden knows that Iraq does not border Pakistan. He knows that Putin is not president of Russia. Those are only two examples of John McCain's ineptness. Lieberman was able to correct him, but now he has been cast aside. Better candidates like Paul, Romney, Pawlenty and Huckabee were overlooked. Wow, the fact that you would try to defend the indefensible.

Ron Paul 2008

Think about it, John McCain is 72 years old and has had multiple bouts of cancer, now in remission. So are we really JUST considering Palin for VP? It probably doesn't matter though because Republicans can't be too happy about the pick.

Ron Paul 2008

Any episode of "Obama-hair-trigger" would have prompted him to call Palin "SWEETIE".

I am sure he was glad it was his staff that had "hair-trigger" not him ...

"Voters chose Obama after 22 debates over countless months. McCain chose Palin after one meeting."

Superdelegates choose Obama. Hillary vote the vote total. Regardless you are comparing a VP with a presidential candidate. On that note Biden fails miserably

Biden has quit before voters could reject him -he quit after the Iowa caucus with %1. He quit in 1988 8becuase of a scandal.

When I become President "I will learn to control my own campaign."

When I become President "I will ensure that my campaign no longer has a hair-trigger."

You have to love this guy, he gives a whole new meaning to the word "dumb."

I'm a little lost. The state trooper could not have done anything wrong, because he would have been arrested? So if the trooper was never arrested for wrong doing, then this is just another case of two people getting a divorce. We all know that in a divorce someones lying! So, with that said why would the troopers boss firer him? I would not think the trooper would be fired unless he broke the law? As governor you must have a lot of free time or I guest she must of made time to have him fired? I just can not see why this would be the governor's job, to fired troopers If she tried their must be something else going on there? Now, in this country we all have rights even people we don't like so, to say she was right is just not American!! To pick her to be V.P. and she did not know what a V.P. did, when asked is a little scary! I can not see someone who has never been to Washington running the government. Maybe someone that has only been in Washington a short time is a bit better? A person in the senate has more government experience than a governor. A Harvard law professor has more government experience than a mayor!! When you pick someone to be on your ticket as V.P. you should meet with them more than twice!! Picking someone because their a woman is the wrong way to go and sets back the movement years!! As a woman you want a job not because your a woman but, because your the best at that position. This is very, very scary, John gets sick and she's President of America ( not V.P.) I'm very ALARMED!!! I think McCain should have had more respect for the republican party and pick someone in the race as Obama has. What an insult to the rest of the republicans this is!! I'm sorry I can not vote for you John, this is not right!!!

Obama has every right to offer up his opinion about a woman who was selected over highly qualified candidates by McCain. Voters chose Obama after 22 debates over countless months. McCain chose Palin after one meeting.

Also remember that it was Phil Gramm, McCain's guy, who dissed suffering Americans in general when he called them "a nation of whiners".
Ron Paul 2008

Way to go Obama, with your first press release, you dis small town people again in reference to Sarah Palin's Mayorship, those same bitter people who cling to guns and religion...way to keep losing those voters!
McCAIN/PALIN!

bho distances himself from everyone.........makes you wonder where they came from to start with? oh yea, he chose them...

What happen to Obama today? Have not seen him except for his nasty remarks about small towns and dissing the Governor of Alaska.
His sing-song speech in the Temple of Dome last night must have really tired the poor guy out. Or was it knowing that McCain picked a VP candidate with more experience and credibility than he has. I certainly do not want any of his snake oil that cures all ills. How can a Harvard man be so dumb and out of touch with main stream American families? I just wished there was ONE item on his agenda that I felt confident he will be able to bring to pass. Most of his ideas just cost more money--like tax and spend.
Looking forward to seeing the best man in the White House and that will not be the socialist.

Palin had more executive experience than Obama

When Palin in charge as VP, she may start fighting over senators who corrupt,......like Obama who got money from Rezko.

"And he attacked him about 5 seconds after his speech.

Making the insincerity of the ad clear for all to see."

BULL!

You could ony say that if you didn't see McCain's original ad until TODAY!

Obama is saying he isn't in control of what his campaign says - well, why wouldn't people buy it; they swallow the other drivel he shovels at them. I'm so tired of the passive-aggressive Obama. Waaaay too much drama!

Obama is a socialist.

Socialism takes from those who do, gives it to those who don't.

Eventually, those who do, quit.

Then there is nobody to take from to give to those who don't, because everybody doesn't.

Then, you turn into Cuba!!!

Great plan that Obama has!!

Sorry, I'll take McCain-Palin, who realize free markets is what has made this country great!!
