Todd Palin, Longtime Former AIP Member

Okay, fair enough, its a little koo koo. How about Obama's membership in the "New Party"... anyone? Anyone?

Who cares about her husband attending some local meeting of some political group? What is that? It says nothing about either of them. Ridiculous!

PS: Ms Palin fits the Republican ticket like a glove. Pro-Life, Anti-Choice, No Sex ED. Straight out of the DARK AGES!
A perfect match for McBush.
If Americans are tired of Bush they should see that all McBush stands for is, 4 more Years of sliding into Oblivion. Following Bush's road map to distruction for both our economy and the Working man of America.
Wake up folks. This is the package he's selling, and it's time we quit Buying.
We're through with abuse of power and ethics investigations in this country.
Ms Palin brings both to the table along with inexperience.

Hey. I never was going to vote for McBush and I was a Hillary Suppoter, and you can say it ain't so till the cows come home, but McBush has said time and again for anyone actually listening that he is going to continue to "Stay The Cource"! Sound Familiar? You can quibble about whether he actually said those words but he dosen't have to, because you see every time he says he is going to continue with the same economic policies that are in place today, and continue the war in Iraq with no concrete plan to get out, then all he is saying is "I'm McBush! If you loved Bush you will love ME! I am not for any change except the destruction of a Womens' Right To Choose." Right to Life actually means the Right of a few short sighted folks to denie every Woman in America the right to decide what is best for herself and her own future. I'm against that because that smacks of Communist China and Government control of Citizens bodies. As long as I have breath in my body I will fight for Womens Rights, and Roe V Wade is part of that. Wake up all you Women that blindly think McBush cares about your rights. Baloney ! He is about as much a Maverick as the real Bush is a Cowboy. NOT ! ! !

Now that was some great information to give us. You see, people like myself have no clue that she's done this much in Alaska, but we have to hear it from you and not the McCain campaign. They just said she was a mom of five and one had downs syndrome and she was a Mayor of 6,000 and a Governor of under 700,000. This is a start.

Now as far as Obama, his intelligence alone kicks Sarah's Idaho college butt! He went to an Ivy League college and excelled. He didn't have a silver spoon in his mouth to accomplish it. He went from nothing to something. That's the American Dream! He could have been a rich lawyer defending criminals, but instead he chose to help people build their communities. The sad part is that Republicans don't realize that helping people is one of the main reasons he's excelling. They keep in belittling those poor people like they are nothing. These are the people who make up the majority of our nation. It's a moot point, Obama is beating McCains ass. He didn't need Biden to beat McCain. He's been beating McCain this whole time. Now, the addition is Biden and Palin. Palin should be compared to Biden and we all know that is a joke. She looses on all fronts. The only way it can work is if people compare Obama to Palin that's it, but they will never debate. So, please it's a hail mary to think Palin is better than Obama. Experience or no experience. She just doesn't match up!

It is not sexist to point out that Ms. Palin is unqualified and as a woman I find that line of argument insulting to women. Furthermore, Ms. Palin is not the most qualified woman in the GOP,but perhaps she is the most gullible. Actually I find it sexist toward men to suggest that a man with her resume would have been chosen as John McCain's running mate when we all know that is not true. I really cannot understand why John McCain did this. He could have chosen Kay Bailey Hutchison or even Condoleeza Rice if he just had to pick a woman and yet he chooses this neophyte. I just think this choice was too cute by a half .

These Palins are a national soap opera. All of this is beneath the dignity of the office of the VP. I seriously question John McCain's judgment for choosing this woman as his running mate. And I hear she was not even really vetted. I mean really how could she have been with all of these scandals breaking every thirty minutes. It is unseemly.

As an Alaskan, I can tell you Sarah is going to be a fantastic Vice-President! She took Randy Ruedich to task for conducting Republican business on state time. She destroyed Frank Murkowski in the Republican primary, and then handily defeated two-time loser Tony Knowles. She took on BP, Conoco, and Exxon as they fiddled and wasted two decades building a gas pipeline that would have helped us TODAY with our energy problems. She introduced AGIA (Alaska oil& Gas Inducement Act). This bill is the path for finally building a gas pipeline with Trans Canada, the major company that stepped forward to get a pipeline going that is in Alaskas' best interest, not BP!! These are just some of the things I can remember her doing in less than two years as Governor. Compare that to Obama going to a RACIST church for 20 years and not realizing it tells me has is not qualified to be President.

Daveh,

You are the most level headed commenter on here. I have been on the attack mode and happen to agree with you fully. Palin is not a good choice, period and I'm kind of offended that she's being pushed down our throats and when we question her like we question all parties in the election process. People act like we're attacking a woman and not just a candidate that is not ready. If she was in office 6 or 8 years and was more known on the national and international stage. I would be more comfortable in her being a legitimate choice for VP.

You have this all backwards. The press has covered every story the Republicans dug up on Obama and each time it lead to a dead end. Do you really think that Republican based Fox News has not checked into Obama. You're clueless. Give it up, there's nothing on Obama as of yet! We still have two months, but so far your complaints are moot. Sorry! Try again.
Now, Sarah Palin on the other hand is not known by anyone. Hell, I talked to an Alaskan who has lived there for 25 years and she doesn't even know one thing this lady has done. When it comes to celebrities, we cover everything they do. From what they wear, to what surgery they've had to what kinds of food they eat. Hell, we have TV shows dedicated to what celebrities do. But somehow, in our society, Palin is off limits. Be realistic! You guys are mad that McCain put you in a defensive position to support a lady you don't know, but have to support cause you're a die hard Republican. How many of you would meet with a babysitter for 15 minutes and let them watch your kids the next day! It just wouldn't happen and if it did you're highly irresponsible and should not be a parent. Point Blank!

Lunatics on the Left, Lunatics on the Right, and blissfully, no, PROUDLY ignorant citizens regurgitating the spin of their favorite lunatics on news blogs. What's a rational centrist to do?
I believe Senators' McCain and Obama are both intelligent, patriotic men of better than average integrity for politicians. If McCain gets elected it won't be 4 more years of Bush - McCain loathes Bush, but must play nice to get elected. If Obama is elected it will not result in the socialist overthrow of America...get a grip people. For the first time since I could vote (1980) I felt OK with the result, no matter who won....until McCain picked Palin. It has nothing to do with Pro-Life/Choice, Environment vs. Energy, 2nd amendment right or any other issue in the so- called "culture wars". Although I disagree with her on most of those, I could live with that if she was ready to step in as President. If she had been Governor for 6 or 8 years (preferably of a state with a population greater than Memphis) - had met even one foreign leader, and shown a more sophisticated perspective on the war in Iraq than "All I know is we haven't been attacked since we took the war to Iraq", then I would feel that McCain had made a responsible choice. The fact is that VP is important this time more so this year than most, because of McCain's age and Obama's race. We refuse to admit it, but therre are still quite a few racist wingnuts running loose in this country and anyone who doesn't think a President Obama will be at higher than average risk is kidding themselves. Oh well, I imagine anyone that I haved complained about stopped reading log ago in order to post more partisan vitriol, so I guess I'll just wrap it up. God save our Republic from ourselves.

With talk about how Todd Palin is receiving confidential state government emails and present during high level meetings, his political affiliation is definitely an issue.

Palin needs to denounce this un-American group NOW!

"It is true. Anyone else noticed that the two of them have basically been hiding from the press for the past three days? She's given one softball interview to People magazine, and hasn't answered question since. How long can they hide?"

So John McCain faces his 1st major political crisis by running and hiding.

It is laughable that Dems even think OBAMA qualified. Palen has more experience. Maybe thats why so many of you have gone mad...or should I say madder.

This is very interesting for a Canadian to observe.. The left with their hair set on fire over a VP appointment,, gutter trawling and using children as young as 4 months to attack teh Republican ticket.. You sould all be so very proud of yourselves .. pathetic losers..

"Is this true? McCain has canceled his interview with CNN's Larry King because Tucker Bounds couldn't name one thing Palin had done as CiC of the Alaskan National Guard?"

It is true. Anyone else noticed that the two of them have basically been hiding from the press for the past three days? She's given one softball interview to People magazine, and hasn't answered question since. How long can they hide?

I must have missed something. Campbell Brown holds McCain's spokesman accountable to the experience claim on CNN yesterday and today McCain cancels a Larry King appearance in direct retalliation. A woman takes on a man, and because he doesn't like the treatment. The McCain camps says, "we won't talk to you" We thought McCain was too old, guess we were wrong, he's just a child.

Some great quotes have just surfaced from one of the party's leaders about how he hates America and the flag.

Why does the husband of the GOP VP Nominee hate America? Why does Sarah Palin spit on the flag and everything it stands for?

Is this true? McCain has canceled his interview with CNN's Larry King because Tucker Bounds couldn't name one thing Palin had done as CiC of the Alaskan National Guard?

Is it CNN's fault that Sarah Palin is a fraud?

But her husband was a long-time member, and at least two AIP officials recall her attending the 1994 convention, though she says she did not attend.
READ THE LAST SEVEN WORDS...she lies-thats NOT sexist!
