Notice Joan does not even attempt to compare McCain's experience to Obama's lack of experience. Instead she compares the presidential candidate to the VP candidate. Wise choice.

One ticket has the lesser experienced candidate on the bottom, the other on the top.

Many of the lower case messiah's minions have been telling us that HIS lack of political experience and HIS being a DC 'outsider' is exactly what we need to bring HIS much anticipated 'change'.

Wonder what happened to that logic?

Palin seems to have struck a raw nerve in the dems "march through Atlanta".

As an independent voter, I find that the sewer infested attacks on Governor Palin to be disgusting. Her outsider credentials do not sit well with the msm.

How vast the difference between her fresh and enthusiastic approach as opposed to the tired old Biden by-lines, as well as Obama's complete lack of leadership.

I may have been persuaded to vote the McCain/Palin ticket over Bob Barr's futile run. Then again, I am still waiting for someone to tell me why I should vote for Obama without using the words hope, change and believe.

God Bless America- and McCain and Palin in their race to the White House.

Moose burgers all around!

"Notice Joan does not even attempt to compare McCain's experience to Obama's lack of experience." Dan, what did McCain do with his years of experience? Helms had thirty years of experience in the senate. What did he do over those thirty years? And I will be willing to bet that in the 2000 presidential election, you voted for G.W. Bush's experience as Texas governor over McCain's years in the senate. But now, McCain's experience is more valuable to you.

"Then again, I am still waiting for someone to tell me why I should vote for Obama without using the words hope, change and believe." On the night of his acceptance speech, Obama outlined what he would do if elected president. If Obama were to be reincarnated as FDR, you still wouldn't vote for him. Enough with the "I am waiting...." bit.

Good points, Conundrum. Anyone who voted for George W Bush has no leg to stand on in the "experience" discussion. Period. Sure, they can clang on like a noisy gong, but if it wasn't important 8 years ago, it shouldn't be the knock-out blow now. In fact, if you voted for GWB, and you favor the McCain-Palin ticket, then clearly experience is not one of the criteria you require in a candidate for Pres or VP. Kindly move on to your next reason.

Since she has pinned the liberal media ears back,
Look for tons of these letters. Lets see Joan, I understand that the owners of Alaska the people got a dividend check back from the state . They will not pay gas taxes for one year. They have cut property taxes. They have a budget surplus. What has the state of NC done? Well we have raised taxes are fees in each non election year for as long as I can remember. We took our good road sate, to, highways and bridges falling down. The sate borrowed buckets of money without taxpayer approval. They have raided the highway trust fund, they ripped off 748 million dollars, that was to go the schools. (you know it all about the children) Got a good idea, lets elect a governor with no experience.

Who do you thing our enemies would prefer?

1. A couple of guys who want to understand their feelings, or

2. A veteran who survived prison camp and a mama who shoots and eats moose.

Also, those who are attacking Sarah as a mother should expect a backlash from mothers--not just Republican mothers. When a mother sees another mama threatened, she will run to her aid--with a casserole, a prayer, a big stick, a ride to the hospital, or whatever else is needed. In times of crisis, we are mothers first.

Palin's own words:

"Before I became governor of the great state of Alaska, I was mayor of my hometown.

And since our opponents in this presidential election seem to look down on that experience, let me explain to them what the job involves.

I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a "community organizer," except that you have actual responsibilities. I might add that in small towns, we don't quite know what to make of a candidate who lavishes praise on working people when they are listening, and then talks about how bitterly they cling to their religion and guns when those people aren't listening.

We tend to prefer candidates who don't talk about us one way in Scranton and another way in San Francisco."

Who is attacking her as a mother? This is another preposterous diversion. No one has attacked her mothering skills.

Not that Sarah needs us to defend her--she's doing fine. It's just that us moms don't like to be insulted. How many of her critics could handle 5 children? That's like having your own community to organize. This nation is full of mothers who care for children, some with special needs, while working at home or office, driving carpools, keeping food in the house, helping kids with math homework, arranging everybody's doctor appointments....

Also, from experience, it doesn't get much harder after the 3rd child or so. The rest of the kids just slide right into the existing family structure. Once you can handle being outnumbered by the kids, 6 is no harder than 4, especially if you have an awesome husband!

Part of the difference, Hugh: Obama was a community organizer over twenty years ago. His first job out of college, before he went to law school. Palin was mayor of the small town when I bought the shoes I'm wearing right now. Not exactly apples to apples, but you go ahead and twist the message any way you want.

Gotta laugh at this pearl:

"Notice Joan does not even attempt to compare McCain's experience to Obama's lack of experience. Instead she compares the presidential candidate to the VP candidate. Wise choice.

Dan, you really must be 'hooked up' to the RNC drip bag. You get the party message down word for word. But it is funny that you don't even have the skills to transform their message into your own words....as you would say, "right out the ___ playbook". Inserting GOP for the blank. LOL!

Mama B. We're off topic, but let me probe a bit. We had our third about five months ago, and have not closed the discussion on a fourth. While I'm getting long in the tooth, my child bride (okay, that doesn't sound nearly as endearing as it did ten years ago) -- my "young wife" still thinks it's worth a discussion. She's heard that after 3, it's all about the same. Is that your experience?

"Who is attacking her as a mother?"

The liberated women in the media are questioning her ability to mother her children. Imagine their outrage if their mothering were questioned.

"The liberated women in the media are questioning her ability to mother her children."

Have to say I haven't seen anything like that. Got any examples?

Yes Howie. The key question is not the number of children, but the spacing. Three kids in three years is a killer that usually scares a woman from ever having more! But with children 2 to 3 years apart, by the time number four comes along the oldest can buckle his own seatbelt, tie his shoes, take a bath, fix his snack... Thus I never had more than 2 at a time that were totally dependent upon me. And of course, by the time number six came, the oldest was doing his own trig homework and the oldest three fought over who got to play with the baby!

Meredith Vierra (sp) asked the question, as did another national media woman ( heard it on the radio in the car, didn't catch her name.)

I'm am actually, literally in the floor laughing at this one!

For years Rush Limbaugh has called feminists "femiNazis" and has ridiculed them for thinking they could, as he says "have it all".
Now, the right wing is in the precarious position of HAVING to support one of their own using...........................guess what???
Yep, the words of those dreaded liberal feminists!
Now, Sarah Palin is a "multi tasker"...again, the very thing the right wingers vilified Hilliary Clinton over.

You can't make that stuff up! I love Sarah Palin as she brings to light, just how far back in the dark ages the right wing nutjobs are.

Howie, I had a friend who had lived in Alaska tell me, that there were only three things you could do in Alaska, and they were "Fight, Fish and F___"
Guess the whole Palin family is good at all three! She's trying to get her ex brother in-law fired, so that covers the "fight" part, and she's an avid fisherman. And no one doubts her efforts at procreating....even her daughter's efforts!!

This is like a cheesy novel from the dollar tree!

Radical Feminism is OK with feminists so long as the woman wears the pants and the man is subservient.

It's not OK when the woman is a knockout and wears clothing to accent that, can shoot and skin a moose, doesn't validate radical feminism and the husband is Brawny man of men instead of mr. mouse driving a Prius.

Just my chauvinist opinion.

“Not only is [Sarah Palin] young, they’re saying she’s the prettiest candidate for vice president since John Edwards.” —Jimmy Kimmel

I wouldn't call it chauvinism Hugh, as not all women are radical feminists. Palin is certainly a force to be reckoned with, as per her speech at the RNC.

It would seem that LC can't distinguish between Hillary Clinton's feminista extremism, and Sarah Palin's "ifeminism." There's a huge difference between the two.

See, Hillary Clinton is more like Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who said: "We as a sex are infinitely superior to men..." Or former Congressional Representative Barbara Jordan: "I believe that women have a capacity for understanding and compassion which man structurally does not have, does not have it because he cannot have it. He's just incapable of it."

Sarah Palin is much more like Susan B. Anthony, an American Women's Activist (note: I did not say feminst). Anthony did not believe in killing babies, subjugating men, or kicking men out of the family. She merely believed in the equal rights of men and women.

Modern feminism claims that it believes in "equality of the sexes." However, the sexes will never be "equal." The only thing we can realistically strive for is equal rights. That's a heck of a lot different than this equality of outcome b.s. that radical feministas like Clintion try to impose.

"Who do you thing our enemies would prefer?

1. A couple of guys who want to understand their feelings, or

2. A veteran who survived prison camp and a mama who shoots and eats moose."

Depends on if our enemy happens to be a moose.

Look our sitting vice president shot a fellow hunter (as far as I know he didn't eat him) & that didn't seem to deter the Russians in Georgia. This is a silly argument.

Howie, check out Sally Quinn's comments, as one example, about Plain being a bad mother because she is letting her career aspirations come ahead of her family of five. Whatever happened to women believing that woman have it all? I guess that only applies to liberal women.

It is refreshing to see a successful woman candidate for national office that isn't a member of the Sisterhood of Traveling Pantsuits.

Libcon, just give it a rest. You are starting to sound rattled and panicked.

"Who do you thing our enemies would prefer?

Because that sooo sums up each Presidential campaign's foreign policy strategies....?

If you want to be fair 2 should read something like...

2. A couple of people who want to shoot first and cover it up later.

News Flash: Dick Cheney isn't running for President.

"News Flash: Dick Cheney isn't running for President."

That's be cause he already is. (;-})

Sarah Palin believes it was God's plan that we sent troops to Iraq and publicly prays with her pastor that her home state of Alaska be God's sanctuary for true believers when Armegeddon strikes.

Considering she could soon be in a position to influence if and when Armageddon does happen, does that concern you?

"Who do you thing our enemies would prefer?"

A prissy affirmative action metrosexual and his hair plugged toady of course.

Neo,

Be fair.

McCain may be prissy but I don't think he can be called a metrosexual.

As far as I know Palin hasn't had her hair plugged.
