Okay News Media - Palin's church in Alaska - give it equal time as Obama's church in Chicago. Or will she get a pass? Or will the media be acccused of being sexist for even asking? Someine alert Hannity. He needs to talk about this NON-STOP.

Brickner also described terrorist attacks on Israelis as God's "judgment of unbelief" of Jews who haven't embraced Christianity.

"Judgment is very real and we see it played out on the pages of the newspapers and on the television. It's very real. When [Brickner's son] was in Jerusalem he was there to witness some of that judgment, some of that conflict, when a Palestinian from East Jerusalem took a bulldozer and went plowing through a score of cars, killing numbers of people. Judgment — you can't miss it."

Palin was in church that day, Kroon said, though he cautioned against attributing Brickner’s views to her.

and this is all before the new info on her business being shut down by her own state and her video of the "sermon" she gives about our soldiers "fighting for God"

the worst choice for Vice president in our nation's history...

America's done with the right wing ...their war on science and democracy...

get this woman out of the debate...

"Here comes the pushback: Team McCain plays the gender card and the media-bias card with a full-on offensive -- press conferences, surrogate TV and radio appearances (designed to demand fair treatment for Palin and her family)."

Wasn't it McCain that once joked about Chelsea Clinton being ugly because Janet Reno was her father?

Can you say hypocrisy?

Anyway, none of this matters because the bottom line is Palin will give a good speech tonight, but will still have to drop from the ticket 1) if the ethics investigation says she abused her authority or 2) if she had recent involvement with a secessionist political party.

And there's still a lot we don't know about Palin. When the media encounters this much weird stuff this quickly, they start looking deeper.

Palin is Alaskan for "right wing drama"

How would it be treated if it were Michelle Obama with a 17 year old pregnant daughter. Or a teenage Chelsea Clinton in the white house?

Image - Schmimage! Look at the issues and the choice is clear as night and day [dare I say... it's as clear as black and white?]

The reason Sarah Palin is attacked so visciously by liberals is because she has more experience than the top of the Democratic ticket. When the Democrats whine about her lack of foreign affairs experience, all the Republicans have to do is point to Obama's similar lack of foreign affairs experience. The Democrats forced Joe Biden on Barack Obama to shore up his lack of experience. It's now clear to the entire country that the wrong man is at the top of the ticket. Dems are embarrassed, and Repubs are laughing.

I was student body president for 2 years in my high school and 2 years residential student body president at my college...over twice as many people as the number in Palin's home town

do I have enough "executive experience" even if I, like Palin, can't spell "mujahadin" never mind explain what it is?

again THE worst choice for VP and self-serving judgment by a Presidential candidate in our nation's history.

If the Republicans are trying to play the gender card, it certainly is working on me. I've been a Democrat all my life. I was sickened by the way Democrats treated Hillary, and I am sickened by the way they are attacking Sarah Palin. Why do I owe loyalty to a party that clearly shows little respect for women? I realize the Republicans are trying to exploit the anger of Democratic women. At the same time, I applaud the fact that Republicans don't seem to have a problem with a woman in the White House. Conservatives have treated Palin with far more respect than many Democrats treated Clinton. I was going to stay home in November. With the nomination of Sarah Palin, I will cast my vote for the Republicans.

I can see why McCain picked her... she's under investigation for corruption and abuse of power to retaliate against her enemies. That's all the vetters needed to know.

Disappointed- please just tell us WHAT foreign policy experience she has - just name one thing and it can not involve the National Guard.

I don't care what they say about Sarah Palin. I'm voting for McCain-Palin, or McCain-Whoever. Democrats should realize that not all Democrats are LEFT-WING NUTS. Some of us are moderate Democrats, and we DO consider Obama's membership in a racist, anti-Semitic, un-American church relevant. The Dems lost me for this year, although I will vote Democratic in my state. Obama was a bad mistake. He has no more foreign affairs experience than Sarah Palin, and she's at the BOTTOM of the Republican ticket.

Let the vetting begin.
Her equal is Joe Biden but she is new like Obama was so she needs equal scrutiny to what Obama & family had.

DRIP,DRIP,DRIP

Y'all do realize if she supports secession she doesn't even want to be an American, right?

I think this is one of the truly bizarre storylines I've seen in American politics.

With expectations this low, her speech can only become a success. But there are too many questions surrounding her candidacy for her to answer in one speech, and when all the convention excitement settles down, she will have to answer for them one by one.

The more the liberals attack Sarah Palin, the more I like her. I am sickened by my own party. They trashed Hillary, and now they're trashing another woman. And they expect my vote. LOL

andrea

you prove that their are some "right wing nuts" then in the Dem party also.

moderates think Palen is the worst vp candidate in history as much as left wing as you say "nut jobs" do

she is ill equipped with the knowledge andfamiliarity with ANY of the issues we face outside ...energy awareness and policy built on oil and gas exclusively ...that's a good energy policy with what we are facing...not.

the worst VP candidate in our nation's history...all to play a gender card.

sad...

And a male governor picked to run as a vice presidential candidate while he was being investigated for abuse of power... we'd never hear a word about that.

Damned sexist media!

These questions are all just media hype. This is the first election in very long time when no one from the greater South has been on either ticket and during the past 40 years the ticket with a southerner has always prevailed.

Everyone seems to think that so many States are in play for the "other" party this year, but I seriously doubt it. It will once again, be about the working class and their perception of who best represents them and their lives (whether it's an accurate comparison or not). My guess is that all those non-represented Southern and lower mid-west States will go with McCain/Palin because of the "whose life looks more like mine" issue. I think most of those blue collar voters from swing states will also be pulling the lever with the same idea in mind.

The country is in a mess, but it has been for a long time. Every four years we hope for something positive, but we get the closest approximation to what middle American sees when they look in the mirror.

mhhunt: "These questions are all just media hype."

No they're not. She is under investigation. That's not media hype. Now, granted, investigation doesn't equal guilt, but we do know she's already been caught in a lie about the potential abuse of power.

And while we don't know whether she was involved with this secessionist party or not, we have heard from three members including a former AIP chairman who say on the record she was involved, and recently, too.

Not media hype at all.

I just find it funny how people keep referring her as a "soccer mom"...

Isn't is strange that she could only find 3 days to stay away from her Gov. Desk after giving birth to a premature child with DS? But now she has found 7 days to stay away from her Gov. Desk so she can campaign?

This woman is corrupt, unfit and very unqualified... but she will give her cheerleader rah rah speech tonight and still repeat all her lies, and the media will go wild and say she was the hit of the party and SHE is the republican party..... mark my words.

The media will be sucking up to her now that the sexism card has been played....

her first acceptance speech was awful, and the media thought it was outta this world.... so its only fitting they will think tonights will be a grand slam.

Palin:
A wanna be, who never will be

And just to clarify the lie comment, Palin once said she didn't have any direct communication with the guy she fired about him not firing her brother in law... only to now learn investigators have voicemails and e-mails to the contrary.

Palins image is fine and she will do as well as anyone else. It is the press, the inner circles of the inside the beltway people who act as if they have just taken a Tabasco enema.

McCain's Judgement & McCain's Ulterior Motives are going to be EXPLOITED on this one in the WORSE OF WAYS !!!

McCain did Not Vet This Woman at all !!!

Alaska Party Official Says Palin Was Not a Member

By The New York Times

The chairwoman of an Alaskan political party that advocates a vote on the state’s succession from the union said Tuesday that she had been mistaken when she said Gov. Sarah Palin was a member of the group.

A front-page story in The New York Times on Tuesday and articles in other news media reported that Ms. Palin was a member of the Alaska Independence Party for two years in the 1990’s.

Big Note: The information in the Times article was based on a statement issued Monday night by Lynette Clark, the party’s chairwoman, who said that Ms. Palin joined the party in 1994 and in 1996 changed her registration to Republican.

COVER UP, COVER UP: On Tuesday Night, Ms. Clark said that her initial statement was incorrect and had been based on erroneous information provided by another member of the party whom she declined to identify.

The McCain campaign also disputed the Times report, saying that Ms. Palin had been registered consistently as a Republican.

So David, this investigation is nothing to you?

Or her reported involvement with a secessionist political party? Nothing?

Or that McCain says she was thoroughly vetted and we since learn that, well, maybe 'thoroughly' isn't exactly the right word?

I watch the media and my democratic party rip apart Hillary and display sexism that would have fit in perfectly circa the early 1900s. I absolutely will not stand by and see it happen to yet another strong, very capable woman. The more they try to beat her up the stronger resolve I get. I'm spreading the word and promoting her to everyone I meet.

The media is trying to get this girl to commit suicide, by putting extreme pressure on her and then they can ask the VP nominee.. how do you feel now?

What worries me most about McCain/Palin ticket is their environmental policy (especially regarding drilling in the ANWR). I think it is evermore important for us, as consumers to support ‘green businesses’ that benefit the environment. For example, http://www.simplestop.net stops your postal junk mail and benefits the environment.

Hmmm, we see the AIP plot thickening.

The fact that her husband was a member actually may help her. Going to meetings as a spouse doesn't necessarily indicate support for the party's goals.

But I was a little suspicious when the McCain campaign produced Republican registration cards going back to when she first registered to vote. Who keeps those cards? That sounded like cover-up, but who knows.

I do know this. Being registered in one party doesn't mean you can't be involved in another party. However, again, the husband's membership may well give her the cover she needs.

SARAH PALIN & MAJ. GENERAL CRAIG CAMPBELL, DO NOT CONTROL THE ALSKAN NATIONAL GAURD, THE PRESIDENT & THE PENTAGON ITSELF, "CONTROLS THE NATIONAL GAURD.
------------

NOTE: Maj. Gen. Craig Campbell, adjutant general of the Alaska National Guard, considers Palin "extremely responsive and smart" and says she is in charge when it comes to in-state services, such as emergencies and natural disasters where the National Guard is the first responder.
-------------

NOTE: But, in an interview with The Associated Press on Sunday, Maj. Gen. Craig Campbell said He and Palin play NO ROLE IN NATIONAL DEFENSE ACTIVITIES, even when they involve the ALSKA NATIONAL GAURD

The entire operation is under federal control, and the governor is not briefed on situations.

Stephen C. Donehoo, managing director of Kissinger McLarty Associates in Washington, and former military intelligence officer specializing in Latin America:

"No doubt the campaign staff have her hooked up to a fire hose on foreign policy issues," said Stephen C. Donehoo, managing director of Kissinger McLarty Associates in Washington and a former military intelligence officer.

"No doubt they fear a debate with Joe Biden that touches foreign affairs," Donehoo said. "My guess is Graham and (Joe) Lieberman are doing a lot of tutoring."

Republican Sen. Norm Coleman of Minnesota appears to have no such worries, given what he considers to be Obama's lack of experience.

"The PRESIDENT sets the TONE," Coleman said. "The EXPERIENCE issue is on the other side. The No. 1 guy there is the guy without the experience."

___

Contributing to this report were AP writers Tom Raum, Jim Kuhnhenn, Glen Johnson and Nestor Ikeda in St. Paul and Anne Sutton in Juneau, Alaska.

The Republicans have Palin in seclusion busily stuffing her right wing head with facts, facts, and more facts to make her look good. She will address the convention with the best speech that money can buy. We will be watching a tricked out individual who looks and sounds like Mrs. America who has turned to politics to save us all.

Humble American: "The more they try to beat her up the stronger resolve I get."

Please. She's a governor under investigation. If the media didn't pursue that, they'd be derelict.

And even the thing about the daughter. Some blogs awkwardly repeated rumors that some Alaskans had started about the DS baby being a grandchild rather than a child. To counter those blogs, the McCain campaign released information about the daughter being now pregnant.

The media relayed that release.

If anything, the media is getting played for chumps by the McCain campaign.

"Oh look at that. They reported our release. Those sexist pigs!"

Well, of course, bash the media for asking the questions that the public is entitled to have asked.
That is the only strategy left when you have no answers. Attack the questioner.
I notice that the journalists that McCain attacked are WOMEN.
So he is racist, mediaist and sexist.
She's not qualified to be VP and may be guilty of treason (secession from the Union--remember the Civil War).

o. - the president controls "federalized" National Guardsmen, but when not in that status they are under their respective governor's control.

Sarah Palin’s image? Well she doesn’t believe evolution or sex education should be taught in public schools. Guess that’s why her daughter was stupid enough to have unprotected sex. Makes you wonder how many STDs the girl has considering an 18 year old boy is usually been around a few. Oh well, from her perspective that is just God’s will! I really do not understand where God said go forth and be ignorant. However, the conservative right wants to do just that, bury their heads in the sand and if you have the courage to look around and ask questions you’re a labeled a liberal that should be banned from society.

The McCain camp is right in one way though, his administration would be nothing like GW’s it would be much worse.

This is what happens, media aside, when a candidate is not vetted fully and the presidential candidate lacks solid judgement. Now, this selection of "Sarah WHO" is being turned into a sexist-ridden incident rather than lack of experience and illegal dismissals of government employees are coming to the forefront. So much for John McCain being his "own man"! Howard Gallas, Reno, NV.

"Another working class mom" is NOT what this country needs as the VP pick. The country needs someone with serious national and international credentials on Foreign Policy, Economy, Environment, Health Care, etc. A Governor from a state with the population of a small American city will simply not do.

Be afraid, be very afraid.

Palin is part of a heretical Christian movement that promotes end-times "theology" and believes that the ends justify the means.

I knew someone from Alaska who believed this same stuff and evidently it is not that uncommon there. They believe that Alaska is the place of safety for people to hide out during the Tribulation. They also believe in prophecies from these pastors who tell them to get ready for Armageddon. I've read some stuff her pastor has said and it made the hair rise on the back of my neck. It is the same stuff this person I knew use to spout off.

Also, I believe this will BACKFIRE big time on McCain. I'm a Christian and I believe that the mainstream Christians of this country cannot go along with the heresy that her pastor preaches....and that she has been videotaped agreeing with. I think there will be a crack in his base when word gets out about what she actually believes, and knowing what I know about this movement, there is no way she will disavow her pastor as Obama did after he came to his senses about him. She WON'T come to her senses because she is brainwashed into believing that some sort of Christian Jihad is called for.

Kool-aid anyone?

YOU PEOPLE ARE SCARED OF THE TRUTH...ESPECIALLY WHEN IN I POST THE DAMN TRUTH...

ABC YOU ARE AS WORSE AS SARAH PALIN HERSELF...

She has no image... she is an EMPTY SUITE just like McCain. I watched the convention last night. What a bunch of blow up crap and no substance. To actually think we would fall for the words "CHANGE" coming from a Republicans mouth is actually laughable. They have nothing... they have said nothing... they have no policies except for the same 8 years we got screwed in. No thanks!

ABC: why not get videos on this... I would like to see what this is all about... After all.. You are our source of honest coverage.

Palin is part of a heretical Christian movement that promotes end-times "theology" and believes that the ends justify the means.

It is the same stuff this person I knew use to spout off.

I just love the constant attacks on Palin's character, personal choices, and motherhood by liberals who CLAIM to support feminism. She is a classic feminist in every sense. PLEASE, PLEASE, keep it up. Women voters across the company are getting angrier by the day. This will backfire spectacularly.

Note to the uninformed women of America, the ability to birth, sustain and nuture a child is what set us women apart from men, we are certainly equals but different. This cynical ticket designed to gain Hillary voters should not sway us, nothing about Palin is about women's issues. This is a man's way of shutting us up by danggling infront of us, what he thinks we want, a woman she is, just not the right woman. In 90% of this world a four month old is still breastfed, the female leaders you see today have delayed having or taken time off to have children, there can be no two ways about it, as is proven by the results of her daughter's decision. If Palin doesn't get this then she cannot be a true representative for any female, let alone champion our causes.

I think this is all about good judgement, with neither McCain nor Palin seem to have. A mother which puts her carrier before the immense pressure and damage that this will do to her pregnant young child and which she would have been fully aware of, is not thinking straight.
I would have loved to have a woman as president or vice, however to have an unqualified, unprepared woman is patronizing and will set women's lib back decades. I am terrified to have 2 trigger happy mavericks as potential leaders of the free world. We need some intelligent, calm persons with good enough judgement to weigh different aspects and listen to sound advisors. Shoot off the hip and mouth politics we had enough in the last 8 years and it landed us in a deep pile of s.. We are already now the laughing stock of the world, let's stop this soap opera and vote before this "American Idol" selection completely gets out of hand.

This pretty much sums up the McCain mentality:

McCain's Voice Mail to Palin Leaked to Press (Listen)
http://www.236.com/blog/w/lee_camp/mccains_voice_mail_to_palin_le_8644.php

Thank God for the NRA!!!Now Bristol's mom can have her shotgun wedding. As far as Experience...George Bush had experience as Governor of TX, Obama's experience is the experience of everyday families living from pay check to paycheck, with 8 years of economic mismanagement, lies to go into Iraq, and Lieberman as Judas. Yeah, that says a lot for the GOP. Oh, can we have the KIP, just like the AIP. Yeah, the Alaskan secessionist what an example of patriotism. In the 90's I was in Desert Storm. Ms. Sara was with the AIP, and Obama was trying to help workers in Chicago who had lost their jobs. Teen pregnancy or Colombine massacre... parents too obsessed with their carreers and not enough with their children.

How stupid would a real Hillary voter be if they were swayed to Palin? She is the polar opposite of every position. The only Hillary voter she would steal would be a moron.

She wants a sex education policy of ignorance, and we can see what that brought into her house. Very successful plan ma'am.

She grabbed as much pork as she could as Mayor and Governor, and now claims she was against it. Please. Do 10 seconds research and you can see the flagrant lies.

She's a 'reformer' who directed Ted Stevens' 527 organization! Yeah, reform. That's the Ted mantra.

She wants Creationism taught in school. Absurd enough, but AS SCIENCE?!?!

She's not capable of running the United States and I'm not sure she should have been running Alaska. With the health questions for McCain, this choice cost him my vote. No way I'd put someone so compelled to stupidity by their religion in a position to dictate the next 3 Supreme Court Justices.

I agree with the earlier post - Why is this Levi kid not up on charges for child molestation and rape? He belongs on a sex offenders list. Oh, that's right, that list is only for other people.

As a woman I am sooooo sick of us females using the sex card, for all the talk of equality we whine, and really can't take the heat. If you have dirty laundry you don't want aired, get your feelings easily hurt, don't get in an arena where they will. I don't need a pass from any man, Palin, Hillary and any female who seek to shatter any glass ceiling should not have one either...this is like hearing about the race card sick, sick of it. Give me a woman who can throw and take a punch, then I say we are on the way.

Every day when I think the media can't possibly sink any lower...they prove me wrong.

Kind of hypocritical attacking Palin, when the media in this country couldn't get elected dog catcher.

I haven't watched ABC in a long time, because every time I do they are constantly trying to spoon feed me their spin on the news.

I don't care about what ABC has to say about Palin, I am a big boy and I can decide for myself.

I learned a long time ago the ones making the biggest noise is usually doing so to try and make up for their own shortcomings.

"The Alaska State Defence Force (ASDF) is a military entity authorized by both the State Code of Alaska and Executive Order. The State Defense Force (SDF) is the state's authorized militia and assumes the state mission of the Alaska National Guard in the event the Guard is mobilized. It is separate from the National Guard and reports to the Governor of Alaska as Commander-in-Chief. The SDF is composed of retired active and reserve military personnel and selected professional persons who volunteer their time and talents in further service to their state." - wikipedia

It's interesting how the McCain camp has been given so many passes by the media from gaffe after gaffe. Now, all of a sudden they're pissed because the media is actually doing their job for once. The media vetted Palin before the McCain campaign did!!

It's obvious Palin wasn't vetted. Actually, a new Washington Post article states that she was interviewed the day before McCain chose her as his VP candidate. So that makes a total of two times they have met.

Would you entrust someone to help you run the country that you've only met twice? We're in the middle of two wars, the economy's in the bucket and somehow Palin's the best VP choice McCain could find? Sounds like a bridge to nowhere...

The GOP better watch comparing "executive experience for the TOP guys, If you use their standard, she has more experience (in 20 months?) than John MCCain. Gimme a break, she has been a mayor and just became a governor and they claim "more experience. And what does she do once elected, abuse the power given her, as mayor AND as governor. We dont nneed anymore power hungry cowboys (cowgirls) running our country. We dont need more of the same.

Never seen Democrats so "uneasy" about Sarah Palin.

I LOVE IT!

By the way, as of today, your party is just leading by 3% in the polls, just following your convention... you should be leading by 10-12%.

By the way, keep up the bashing of women - you're upsetting many of them. I know of a few "hard core" liberals who are disgusted by the attacks on Palin's family and are now voting Republican for the first time!!!

Smart man, McCain... It's working!!!

Just so I can understand liberal "logic"; explain to me 1) how Kennedy can murder a young woman and be re-elected 25 times as a Democratic senator, 2) how Robert Byrd can serve as a kleagle in the KKK and be the Democrats longest sitting senator 3) if a teenage kid of a Republican gets caught doing what virtually all teenagers have done - somehow her mother’s character, values, and ability to govern is called into question.

Is this the same "logic” that calls GWB a war monger when it seemed perfectly fine that Truman incinerated 300,000 civilians in an instant (Remember that liberal credo "the end does not justify the means") while Kennedy and Johnson killed millions in Vietnam?

Is this the same “logic” that caused Obama to pick Biden who received less than 900 votes and was the first candidate to drop out the Democratic primaries yet walk away from Hillary who had 18,000,000 votes?

Is this the same “logic” that required the networks to run stories and air the photos of the underwear laden prisoners at Abu grab 100 times more than the stories regarding the decapitated civilian prisoners of Al Qaeda?

Is this the same "logic" that says “we must keep people from developing the wilderness so only I can use them when I camp and hike”?

Is this the same "logic" that says we must do everything we can to save some obscure snail that nobody has ever or will ever see but it's perfectly fine to suck the brains out of unborn children in an effort to kill them and call it an a abortion?

Is this the same “logic” that says abstinence only sex education doesn’t work when virtually every girl who becomes pregnant had been taught endlessly about birth control meaning that that isn’t working either but you never seem to mention that in all your rants?

Is this the same “logic” that says liberalism is about individual freedom and the uncensored expression of one’s beliefs in an effort to make the country a better place but conservatives are ridiculed for practicing their own form of religion, expressing their opinions towards public education, the war, welfare, the death penalty, abortion, etc, etc, etc?

Is this the same “logic” that says health care is biased towards men yet men live on average 7 years less than woman?

Is this the same “logic” that espouses redistribution of wealth but never seems to get around to addressing investment of time, commitment of money, risk of losing everything, or endless liability?

Is this the same “logic” that demanded we not quarantine AIDS victims when the virus was first exposed in the early 80”s because it would be a violation of human rights, so instead 10’s of millions of additional people have been killed by the virus?

Mark C-Virginia:

I've been thinking the same thing. I wonder when the media is going to pick up on that?

The sexist liberal media has been doing a massive hit job on Palin.

CNN is the worst of the liberal sexists. But almost all the media outlets have lived under a double standard.

None of these questions were asked of Obama.

Liberal Sexism is setting womens issues back 100 years.

Republican woman, stay away from me. Republican woman, mama let me be. Don’t come hangin’ around my door. I don’t wanna see your face no more. I got more important things to do. Than spend my time growin’ old with you. I don’t need your war machines. I don’t need your beauty queens. Northern lights can hypnotize. Sparkle someone else’s eyes. Goodbye, Republican woman. Goodbye, Republican chick. Goodbye, Republican broad ... (Adapted from The Guess Who's American Woman)

Palin has governed a mere 600,000 people for 18 months in a state that receives so much federal aide (more than any other state) and is so oil rich it returns thousands of dollars to its citizens every year. It is hardly the kind of state that prepares anyone for serving the UNITED --(something Palin opposes by the way (supporting Alaskan succession from the Union)) -- States.

Her experience is more akin to that of an oil rich nation like Venezuela or Saudi Arabia.

Another Sarah = another PUMA straggler who doesn't realize that PUMA has been thoroughly debunked and exposed to all America as the cloaked Republican racist group that it is.

Give it up, you sorry fringe freak, we're laughing at you.

This will backfire on the the far left-wing liberals and the biased media. There's already backlash. Sit back and enjoy the show.

“The McCain campaign will launch a television ad directly comparing Governor Palin’s executive experience as a governor who oversees 24,000 state employees, 14 statewide cabinet agencies and a 10 billion dollar budget to Barack Obama’s experience as a one-term junior Senator from Illinois,” a campaign aide tells The Note.
==========================================

By this same logic, wouldn't that mean that Palin also has more experience than McCain himself? And if that's the case, shouldn't the GOP take McCain off the ticket and replace him? Just sayin' is all.

"Another Sarah = another PUMA straggler who doesn't realize that PUMA has been thoroughly debunked and exposed to all America as the cloaked Republican racist group that it is."

Exposed by who? Dailykrud & Huffpoop? Sorry, but it's real. Get used to it.

hamishdad, very nice. It would make a nice campaign ad!

"Disappointed- please just tell us WHAT foreign policy experience she has - just name one thing and it can not involve the National Guard."

I wouldn't be worrying about her so much. You may want to focus your attention on the empty-suit at the top of your ticket. Fred Thompson incinerated him in his speech last night.

Got curious about the "PALIN INVESTIGATION" some of the Obama supporters are ranting about without offering any FACTS against Palin..So I thought I'd offer them: Trooper Micheal Wooten (ex-brother-in-law of Palin) Married and divorced 4 times. The record indicates a serious and concentrated pattern of ABUSE OF POWER AND ILLEGAL ACTIVITY..Col Julia Grimes,(2006) Head of Alaska State Troopers gave written instructions to suspend Trooper Micheal Wooten. He has been written up seven times since he joined the force..for such things as:

Child Abuse: Using a taser on his kid
Illegal Hunting
Drinking and Driving on the job
Threats of violence against citizens of Alaska.

Now if I were in a position of authority it stands to reason that this is one rogue cop that should not be in the job . And if he is being protected by Walt Monegan, he should not be on the job either...AND THATS WHAT THIS INVESTIGATION IS ALL ABOUT.

Funny how the Dems keep bringing up inexperience, when Obama has none and is up for the presidency... hmmm.

He's been in the Senate for 3.5 yrs, 2 of which he has been campaigning. He's never run anything in his life, Sarah Palin has. By the way, nobody ever questined Hillary's experience when she ran for Senate of NY. She had NO EXPERIENCE except running around in the White House and a FAILED health care reform plan.... Sarah Palin has accomplished what she has on her own, not because she was a former First Lady.

Amazing how attacks on her daughter have overplayed Obama's attendance of of an anti-white, anti-USA, place of worship and comments made by Michelle Obama on how this is the first time she is proud to be an American...

Is that all you've got folks? Attacks on a 17 yr old? ARE ANY OF YOU AWARE THAT OBAMA'S MOTHER GAVE BIRTH TO HIM AT 18 AND WAS NOT MARRIED???

That's the difference between Reps and Dems... Republicans do not persecute people on their mistakes because everyone makes them. It's living up to your responsibility that's truly admirable.

The majority of Democrats are for "everything goes and no consequences". If a teenage girl becomes pregnant...(the Democrat way) go out and have an abortion or collect a check from the government. This family is doing the right thing and living up to their responsibility.... not killing a human life or expecting the government to support it. And what are they getting in return???? Attack after attack..

The only explanation to this is..... Wow! you Dems are in a panic are you?

Please, please stop taking about your concerns for the environment and how some life form may be inconvenienced as a result of drilling, when you approve of taking a human life when it's not convenient. Please stop bringing up the fact that some type of dessert scorpion may not be able to migrate to find a mate because of drilling, when our dependence on oil is filling the pockets of potential terrorists and lunatics like Chavez.

Maybe even James Dobson didn't vette her enough

Palin belongs to a religious denomination that is not well liked by mainstream protestants. The Assembly of God denomination, a pentecostal sect, has long garnered distrust from Baptists for its faith healings, exorcisms, snake handling during church services, and its worship of the Holy Spirit.

Wow!!! Is this country not pathetic. The liberal media, for the first time ever has an African-American running for president on a major ticket who is so un-interesting that they have to spend the entirety of their time picking on a person who was selected to run as v.p.!!! Pathetic!!!

i have never see so much crap being said before about a person.You know you are all talking about a 17 year old girl..If that was your daughter it would be ok?.You know the world is watching and you all have made us look like a joke.no wonder the rest of the world don't think much of us. we are a bunch of babies.She did this he done that. Everyone even you have done something wrong in your past but of course you don't want anyone to know about it.But its ok for you to beat someone else to the point of no return but don't do it to you( right).Grow up. Party lines have gotten so out of control.In some country's you would be hung for saying the things you are saying. thank god for America where we can say what we want no mater what happens to someone else.Freedom of speech more like freedom to be stupid.

I'm a woman who supported Hillary throughout her primary run. Even to the point of going door to door, handing out info sheets.

Then, the Democratic party anointed Obama as their leader. I saw it for what it was - sexism. I decided then and there I would vote for McCain.

This past week, McCain announced that he had chosen a female VP with nowhere near Hillary's experience or competence. I saw it for what it was - sexism.

So now I have to decide whether Barr or Nader is least sexist.

It is getting *so* hard to be an indignant female voter these days...
