Sarah Palin

She said Monday staff meeting, Thursday checks. Nitpick. :) And that mayor said that Wasilla handles no social services at all. I found that to be pretty weird, but maybe that's common in really small towns? I don't know.

I've said this before and gotten spanked for it but here goes - I don't like her and I sure don't think she's ready to be V.P. at all and current national polls back me up. Palin is seen as the biggest drag on the McCain campaign according to the latest NBC/Wall Street Journal poll. Heck, she STILL doesn't even know what the V.P. is supposed to do and thinks she can go run the Senate and change policy! Annie

I think tht a lot of people found their political super star in Sarah from the Frozen North and they are bound and deermined to protect her from every little thing including the hard (and sometimes easy) questions. Someone on a thread on here a while ago stated that that little town she mayored had about 5,000 people. I don't know if that was true or not but if it is it is laughable. Here outside Philadelphia, mayors of little towns like that would not be considered serious candidates for mayor of Philadelphia much less Vice Pres. In fact, some little towns with populations that low have figurehead mayors that are appointed merely to represent the town in parades and such.

Did the Daily Show do like they usually do and set off to embarrass someone? I hope Stewart's kids grow up to be conservatives. Now that would be great some Karma! She grew up poor in a house that only had a wood heater. She's tough and hunts and dresses a moose and catches and cleans fish. She worked her way through school. She and her high school sweetheart eloped so her parents wouldn't have to pay for a fancy wedding.I admire Sarah Palin because she didn't like things that were happening in her town and she did something about it. She put her son in a wagon and pulled him around from door to door campaigning. I like her because she started at the bottom and has worked her way to the top. It reminds me of the American Dream. I admire her stand on abortion even deciding to keep her baby, Trig, when she knew he had Down Syndrome. She proved that she not only talked the talk but walked the walk. I like how she brings her kids with her when she can. I like that she has a lot of energy. I think she's one tough lady. She's obviously got a good sense of humor and proved it by being on SNL. She's a good sport. She's charming. And I might add that she is not that bad to look at either. I like how she shops at Walmart for diapers and takes the time to shake hands and have photos taken with people. I like how she took on the oil companies and the others in her party. I don't think she is stupid and that others are selling her way too short. She has been more than a mayor of Wasilla. She is the governor of Alaska, by gosh! Bill Clinton was the governor of Arkansas when he became president. Bush was the governor of Texas. Even her Democrat mother in law says she's a quick learner. She'll get daily briefings as vice president. She'll learn as she goes. And I'd also like to add that I am mad about the hatefulness that she first encountered by the left and the media and from the kooky celebrities. The more they hate on her the more I like her. One thing that totally surprises me and dismays me is the reaction to her by other females. OK, she isn't Hillary but she is a smart, ambitious woman who has a chance to break through the glass ceiling and get us one step closer to the presidency.

And now she's made it pretty clear that she doesn't understand what the Vice President of the United States actually does either.

I like her drive, and I like her morals, I would like you all to tell me what being a senater (seeing as the other three people in the race are all senaters) prepares them for president or vice president, I would also like you to tell me what a vice president does, I'm serious, she seems that when she has a passion for something she will fight for it, and her morals (in my opinion) will drive her passion in the right place, and her place in government plus her relationship with God would likely keep her from trampling too many rights (considering how many each president tramples, I have a fair ammountof faith in her) Truth is, Intelligence and a drive to succeed is whats going to count, because you can have all the experience in the world and never get anything done because you believe it cant be done, and on the flipside you can have pure intelligence and passion and get it done because you dont know it cant be done. simple as that.

Well she is the governor of Alaska, people voted for her there. And she will learn how to be vice-president like everyone before her. So stop nitpicking. So I should ask why are you so for Biden and consequently for Obama who will take away the right to bear arms, make America into a socialist country, is so far left abortion that is not funny. Oh people like her because she unlike most women in politics is not pro-abortion and has strong moral values.

Well, considering she is the only one on the 2 tickets I would cast a vote for, it's a shame she isn't on the top of one of them. But she isn't, so I'm still voting for Chuck Baldwin -(Constitution party). Why is it that everyone connveniently forgets she is a GOVERNOR. They mention mayor, but not governor, as if it means nothing. Was not Bill clinton a Governor? Was not George Bush a governor? Was not Ronald Reagan a governor? Jimmy Carter? In fact, the last time we elected a senator directly to the office of presidency, was JFK. Why is this? Simple, Governors have more administrative and executive experience than senators. Running a state is equivivilent to running a small country. Many of the same offices exist, many of the same responsabilities. Even being commanders of a small military force in the shape of national guard (though it can be federaly highjacked), state guard and state militias (which can't be). Now granted they don't generaly commit these troups to war but the authority does exist. I like her guts, her commitment to state's rights, she is a person I identify with as "regular people", she's not even married to a politician or lawyer, he works for a living.

I was initially impressed with Ms. Palin however when Charlie Gibson from ABC news asked her about the Bush Doctrine she didn't even know what it was.... need I say more in regards to her ability to act as Vice President.

I feel that she is telling evreyone just what they want to hear. I do not feel that what she speaks is the truth. some politician speak of things to get elected I feel this is what she does. the thing I like about her is sometimes her hairstyle is nice.
