No person who runs for office will be perfect. The last perfect guy who was here they nailed to a cross…

Have fun and if you find things, let me know. I am interested in learning.

Although, I was one of the ones calling for Palin long before anyone knew about her. I heard her name mentioned on a show and looked her up. I like her and I think she will be great (not because she is a woman but because she is smart). She has flaws like the rest of us but they are tolerable…

And, you were not wrong, just misinformed…

I laughed hysterically at the Wal-Mart comment, then realized that (again) you have a good point, aside from the greeters, which would bring the number down to 99, I guess you can have the 100th seat.

I dunno about the not harming you part though, my exes have said that I have pretty sharp claws. Mostly harmless and mostly good though.

I will take your advice, and do more thinking before posting on thins, I appreciate the criticism.

McCain is awesome, yes that’s true, kinda grouchy, hehe…but I would be too if I were him.

I’m hoping I was completley wrong about Sarah Palin, I’m off to do more reading, so we’ll see.

Thank you again for showing me I was wrong, then giving me the right information. I really do appreciate it.

I agree that both parties are bad. I just think one is worse. We should replace the Senate with the first 100 people who walk into Wal Mart.

Think before you write. Palin DID NOT try to ban books. Go to snopes.com and look it up. Just to clue you in, some of the books on the list had not been written yet…

Obama is running against McCain. McCain is a good and honorable man. You like him then why not trust his judgment?

You guys?? I wasn’t even freaking born when Carter was President, nor old enough to vote for Hillbilly, so don’t put that on me!!

Marriage is between a man and a woman according to you fundamentalist christian beliefs. How does it effect you to have two guys or two women you don’t even know, nor will ever come in contact with get married. Why does this bother who?? WHO CARES???

Hey, I talk trash about Obama too, he’s probably the flim flammiest used car salesman ever, and I never ever said once that I was voting for him. Ever.

I vote no confidence. I’m just pointing out that Palin isn’t the golden girl everyone says she is, and he positions on numerous things scare the hell out of me.

I’m picking on both major parties, because they both suck, so don’t automatically label me as democrat, because I am not! There are more than two political schools of thought you know.

I’m not attacking you! Don’t get all defensive.

I do not like her, she tried to ban books for goodness sake, then tried to fire a librarian who didn’t comply, this startles me as an advocate of free speech, and also an avid reader, I love all literature, and I think that removing it from the general population is a bad bad idea. If you don’t like to read or hear or be exposed to certain things, don’t, it’s that simple, but don’t keep it from the rest of us.

And the abstinence only education thing obviously doesn’t work, we’re not even getting into the proof there, because I feel horrible about what Bristol is being drug through due to crazy liberals having nothing else to talk about. Talk about the pot and kettle hypocrisy.

I don’t want Obama in either, but I want Palin even less, which is why I can’t in good conscience vote. I however, love McCain, I strongly disagree with him picking Palin, but I do love him, for his sacrifices for me, even before I was a me to begin with. But if he gets elected and something bad happens to him, then it’s Palin as President, and her policies really do scare me. Which is why, like I said, I cannot vote at all.

I wish I could vote for whom I want, I really do.

What will I do if she is elected? Suck it up I suppose, there really isn’t anything else I can do.

1. Her political experience demonstrates more executive experience than Obama. Even if she only served one day as Governor or Mayor, it is more than he has served. He has never led anything. Community organizer is not a leader and certainly not more of one than a Mayor or Governor. Look at the mess Obama left behind.

2. This is not true though I have seen no Constitutional requirement for it. She visited Afghanistan before Obama did. Carter and Clinton (Bill) had no National level experience and you guys elected them so it did not matter then but does now?

3. She negotiated a gas line deal with Canada and has been involved in the deployment of her National Guard. That gives her more Commander in CHief experience than Obama.

4. Perhaps she wanted to keep her thoughts to herself with regard to state politics. I am sure she has given it a lot of thought. I bet she is giving the impression that she knows little so she can clean up on people who take her for granted.

5. This is false. She believes that children should be allowed to discuss both theories in school. There is no proof that evolution is true but it is taught. Only 13% of the country believes in evolution and about 80% believe that they are here because of God. What is wrong with discussion> Besides, she said it should not be part of the curriculum. http://www.newsweek.com/id/157986

6. I don’t believe in man made global warming and neither do a lot of people. This is a theory that has no proof. The Earth has been warming and cooling for thousands of years. As many scientists do not believe it as do and many believe that it is related to sunspot activity. That activity has been slowing down lately, notice that it has been cooler?

7. Marriage is the union between a man and a woman. Same sex couples already have most of the benefits that normal couples have. Yes, they can visit in a hospital (anyone can if you let them).

8. The reality is that she had nothing to do with it but the guy needed to be fired. He tazered his 10 or 11 year old kid.

9. She is messed up in YOUR view of wildlife protection. Who says you are right. We hunt plenty of animals that are overpopulated. Polar Bears are not endangered, there are more now than before. The libs put them on the list to prevent oil exploration and pipelines to be installed.

10. This is an insane argument. The left made this up out of thin air and now she will pay for something that is untrue? I guess then, the fact that Obama was a Muslim as a child will hurt him. Even if it wasn’t true he would suffer?

11. Wikipedia is not a reliable source. ANYONE can edit an entry. I can go in and write anything I want (and I have). It was cleaned up to get the stuff people that are NOT Sarah Palin wrote in there. People like you write Wikipedia. It is not a worthy resource.

12. Once again, I bet she is playing dumb to lure idiots into the trap. But in all reality, the VP has one major job. Be president of the Senate and cast tie breaking votes. Then to take over if something happens to the president.

13. Only clear to you. It is amazing that you libs are so sexist. If I said that Obama was chosen because he is black you would call me a racist (though that is in part true). She is competent, charismatic, young and energizing. She has a greater than 80% approval rating in Alaska and she knows how to lead. Barack Obama was an unknown until recently. Most people wondered who this guy challenging Hillary was. Now he is the nominee.

You are free to think what you want but get the facts straight. Vote for whom you want.

I find it interesting that people like you who say people like me smear Obama and that it isn’t right are out smearing Palin.

What will you do when she is sworn in?

Yukon Barbie?? I sincerely f*cking hope not.

If this “hockey mom” with very little executive experience “but she was a mayor of a really tiny town!!”. That may be true, but she had a city administrator running things for her! And left the town with serious debt. But wait..she then went on to run the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission…no..that had only 22 people, and half of those were executive assistants, no help there!

As Governor, she gave the Legislature no direction and budget
guidelines, then made a big grandstand display of line-item vetoing
projects, calling them pork. Public outcry and further legislative
action restored most of these projects–which had been vetoed simply
because she was not aware of their importance–but with the unobservant
she had gained a reputation as “anti-pork”.

So, anything she didn’t like got labeled as pork, and was a no go.

She hates polar bears, but no one here cares about them either, just throwing that one in there.

And now for Claim Vs. Fact!

•“Hockey mom”: true for a few years
•“PTA mom”: true years ago when her first-born was in elementary
school, not since
•“NRA supporter”: absolutely true
•social conservative: mixed. Opposes gay marriage, BUT vetoed a bill
that would have denied benefits to employees in same-sex relationships
(said she did this because it was unconsitutional).
•pro-creationism: mixed. Supports it, BUT did nothing as Governor to
promote it.
•“Pro-life”: mixed. Knowingly gave birth to a Down’s syndrome baby
BUT declined to call a special legislative session on some pro-life
legislation
•“Experienced”: Some high schools have more students than Wasilla has
residents. Many cities have more residents than the state of Alaska.
No legislative experience other than City Council. Little hands-on
supervisory or managerial experience; needed help of a city
administrator to run town of about 5,000.
•political maverick: not at all
•gutsy: absolutely!
•open & transparent: ??? Good at keeping secrets. Not good at
explaining actions.
•has a developed philosophy of public policy: no
•”a Greenie”: no. Turned Wasilla into a wasteland of big box stores
and disconnected parking lots. Is pro-drilling off-shore and in ANWR.
•fiscal conservative: not by my definition!
•pro-infrastructure: No. Promoted a sports complex and park in a city
without a sewage treatment plant or storm drainage system. Built
streets to early 20th century standards.
•pro-tax relief: Lowered taxes for businesses, increased tax burden on
residents
•pro-small government: No. Oversaw greatest expansion of city
government in Wasilla’s history.
•pro-labor/pro-union. No. Just because her husband works union
doesn’t make her pro-labor. I have seen nothing to support any claim
that she is pro-labor/pro-union.

Final Thoughts with a few recaps:
1. A poor record: Her only political experience has been a few years as mayor of a small town in Alaska and less than two years as governor of that state. Her record wasn’t so great: the small town she left behind is now in financial ruin.

2. She has no experience with national level politics. At the time of this posting, many of her views on national policy issues are unknown simply because she is so inexperienced that she hasn’t even made public statements about them. Presidential history scholars believe she may be “the most inexperienced person on a major party ticket in modern history.” Even more inexperienced than Senator Obama!!

3. She has no foreign policy experience. None. AT ALL.

4. Iraq War? Our country is in the midst of a war, and Palin’s son is going to fight in that war. However, Salon.com reports that she hasn’t even given much thought to the Iraq War, and has no clear opinions about it. Well that’s JUST what we need, innit?

5. She is a creationist, and she wants “creation science” to be taught in public schools. Oh. s***.

6. She doesn’t believe in man-made global warming. Maybe that’s why she supports drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge?

7. Not only does she think the government should be telling people who they can and cannot marry, she also thinks that same sex couples should be denied benefits given to straight couples.

8. Palin has been accused of abusing her power as Alaska governor to try to get her ex-brother-in-law fired as a state trooper. An investigation is underway.

9. She has messed up views on wildlife protection. Enivornmentalists are appalled by her support of a $150-per-wolf bounty program. She’s also supported the use of government money to educate people about how great it is to shoot bears and wolves, and she doesn’t want the polar bear to make it onto the endangered species list.

10. Even if they aren’t true, rumors about her pretending to be pregnant to cover up her teenage daughter’s accidental pregnancy are not going to help her image.

11. Ninja editing: Her Wikipedia entry needed to be cleaned up before the public announcement that she was McCain’s VP pick.

12. She has no clue about the role of the Vice President. This alone scares the hell out of me. I learned this in Fourth or Fifth Grade. (Is she smarter than a Fifth Grader?? Apparently not!!)

13. It is quite clear she was chosen just because of her gender (most Republicans have never even heard of her), and she’s being used as a trick by the McCain campaign to gain some of Hillary Clinton’s supporters.

It is called reading comprehension twinkie.

The Wise Canine has spoken. It must be true. Please.

PEACE

But tell me, how chummy were the Clintons and the Arafats?
