Political Punch

What's really going on is that people are freaking out about Palin. 1 in 3 VPs have gone on to become President. She has a 1 in 3 chance of becoming President and people in her own party have never met her. Didn't even know how to pronounce her name!

So the media is vetting her, literally. People are scrambling to find out who she is so they can feel safe with her being a heartbeat away from the Presidency.

anon,
the Iraquis did NOT agree with Barack's original plan. And we didnt implement it. Wake up and think for yourself.

It is truly sad how we have all descended into a battle of red vs blue, left vs right, republican vs democrat. People, the game is rigged, the fix is in, and it doesn't matter who gets elected, the American people get hosed. While we argue over who is correct, and call each other names, the government of the wealthy, by the special interests and for big corporations is laughing all the way to the bank. Think I'm wrong? Write a letter to your senator and see what happens. Maybe a form letter response if you're lucky. More likely no response, unless you included a large "campaign" donation with your letter. Go ahead. prove me wrong, if you can.

Obama has no foreign policy experience or executive experience.

Palin has run a business, a city and a state. Obama has run his mouth.

Notice during the Dem convention that not one person could get up on stage and talk about what Obama accomplished as a community agitator.

"Did you attend school with Obama?"

That's not fair.

Not everyone can get their BA in journalism from the venerated Univ of Idaho.

Or finish in the literal bottom five of their graduating class.

Oh wait. That's the Republicans.

"Real men like McCain aren't intimidated by strong women"

How would McCain even know? He met her once before picking her as VP.

We aren't there her because it is evident her policies are not there for us. Feminists are intelligent women that care about the direction of our country, are concerned with the legacy we are leaving our children, and embrace motherhood and career knowing that there is a delicate balance between the two for neither area to suffer. Maybe the Feminists have this one figured out already...despite her gender, she is bad for our nation and our future!

look, if all the supposed controversies that obama had to go through were condensed to five days it would look a lot like this--but probably even worse. how long was the media stuck on reverend wright? "proud of america?" i hope journalists understand that the reason scrutiny is so high is because no one knows anything about her, so everything is coming out fast.

The media and blogger attacks on Palin will backfire if they continue.

I think Palin is great, even if I don't share every single belief she has. We agree on the big picture.

I do look forward to 2012, and an exciting presidential race between Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin.

Wouldn't THAT be historic?

Real men like McCain aren't intimidated by strong women.

Pretty much sums up why Obama didn't choose Hillary.

Oh Brady. The writer is a well-known Palin critic, who took sides in the Palin vs Librarian issue. Not exactly an innocent bystander.

anon:

Don't you mean "Lower 48?"

Did you attend school with Obama?

Naveen:

Good thought. And, I agree. The social conservatives see Sarah Palin as the future of the party. They're enthused because McCain chose someone who's a radical pro-lifer like they are.

Corsi is not ok. But just because he repeated pre-existing information doesn't discredit the factual basis of that information.

If Corsi says the sky is blue, does that mean the sky isn't blue?

If Palin has closed the "enthusiasm gap", doesn't that mean that conservatives aren't voting for McCain, but for Palin? SHE is essentially the head of the ticket now. What does that say about John McCain?

Samantha Brown

is the Travel Channel Queen, a perky blonde with a whacked sense of humor.

Campbell Brown

is the CNN anchor who went into the tank early for Obama and has yet to crack a single joke that is funny.

The real question isn't where are the feminists, where's the decency? "Babies Lies & Scandals" says Lies ... what lie has been told? Jan Wenner & crew's liberal bent is showing through - they could have just said "Babies & Scandals" and left it that. Instead, they're at the forefront of a liberal stampede that's implying the woest, spreading allegations as fact, actually calling for paternity testing on Sara Palin's baby, release of confidential medical information, poring over photos to size baby bumps at different times. For anyone who thinks they are for human decency, privacy rights, and compassion - why aren't you more outraged that this is the state of your mainstream media?

The Obama bias was always in the air because it made for a great story (and that sells), but frankly, its beginning to stink up the room.

Why does Sarah Palin's husband hate America?

I can't wait for Obama to be president so I can quit my job and get free things! Free health insurance finally!

So posting racist and anti semitic comments and appearing on white nationalist radio is ok?
