I hope you folks saw her on Fox last night. A real breath of fresh air.What amazed me he how the press went after her as soon as her name was mention. ( still doing it) Now I read this morning, she owes it to the press, to answer their question.My opinion she owes them nothing. I doubt that many people would give a doggie treat, to a dog that attacked them, why should Palin be any different?

Plain old stale white bread Joe Biden reminds me of vanilla pudding - boring, boring, boring.
Sarah Barracuda is vibrant, exciting, eager, energetic, stirring, vigorous, and high spirited.

This woman can adapt!! Sure she can take anything coming her way including be President if put in that position. Think she will balance McCain.

Although McCain’s choice of Palin seemed at first to be a refreshing choice, the more we learn about her the more we see that she is just another Republican who will continue to take our country down the road to reduced power and financial ruin. She may be down-to-earth, but before we vote we need to look at what her views are and what she’s done before. Our country is in serious trouble after eight years of Bush, and McCain/Palin would be even worse. McCain’s choice of Palin showed that he has caved to the radical religious right wing of the Republican Party. Palin believes that women who are raped and molested should be forced to have the baby, that the Iraq war is a mission from God and that a gas pipeline is “God’s will”, that the US should be bound to a commitment which could send us to war with Russia, and that creationism should be taught in schools. She opposes stem cell research and has demonstrated the divisive cultural warfare so dear to the Republicans, avoiding discussion of the serious issues that we face in this election.

McCain and Palin claim to be tough conservatives but they whine about phoney sexism to distract us from their failure to answer the hard questions about their positions and their claims. Palin is supposed to be a reformer but when she was mayor of her little town she hired a lobbyist who brought in 27 million federal dollars. Despite that handout she still left the town with 20 million dollars in debt- so maybe she would challenge Bush’s record deficit if she had a hand in the federal budget. In her campaign for governor in 2006 she supported the ‘bridge to nowhere’ and visited the potential site, only flip-flopping when it became clear that Congress would refuse further money. She kept the 223 million federal dollars already received, effectively telling Congress ‘thanks, we’re keeping the money’, yet she has repeatedly spun a tale on the campaign trail about her supposed opposition to the bridge. She’s supposedly experienced enough to be President but can’t even face a press conference. So what are we supposed to think: what the facts say, or what McCain and Palin say?

We can also learn from what they’re not saying: nothing about the record Bush deficit, nothing about alternative energy sources, nothing about healthcare costs and job losses. Instead they’re talking about lipstick, wolves, moose, pigs, and snow-mobiling. They have little to say about healthcare costs, long-term solutions to our oil addiction, or helping the average American struggling with Bush’s crashing economy. Meanwhile Obama’s choice of Biden has added to his ticket a fellow Senator who augments his policy expertise and brings additional insights to Obama’s demonstrated wisdom on foreign policy.
