What You Should Know About Sarah Palin

I gotta say this....when I first looked at the woman standing next to McCain. I couldnt help but envision her swinging on pole pulling the bobbypins out of her hair and swinging her brown locks around. My brother agreed....she reminded him of a high class stripper.
Go Obama...this woman frightens me.

When did I call any one stupid? When did I even imply anyone was stupid? I have never given your posts much thought before,but if If you say your brain washed OK.
There is no question in my mind that to many liberals Obama is the politically correct candidate. I agree with republicans that he has very little real experience. But he isn't stupid.
Palin,on the other hand, may not have attended Ivy league schools, but she proved last night that she isn't stupid either. But the fact is neither one of them has the political experience to control congress.
There will only be one winner in this election and that's Nancy Palosi.

I love how its mean and unfair to talk about Palin daughter, but its OK for Palin to bring up her son that is going to Iraq!
I guess you can only bring up your children if they can be used to further your political career.

Hey Chris- That question does not have to be asked when a man was the president because his WIFE was taking care of this kids. LOOK I hear your point but let's get real- mothers are the primary care giver. She has a 4 month old with a severe disability and 2 kids under the age of 11- the most percious and impressable years of their lives and she will be on a bus with Mccain for the next 60 days campaining non stop or representing America (if she wins) across the world. This is not a 9 to 5 job. All I am saying is that these children need their MOMMY - great dad is there however there is NO replacing mom and no replacing those precious years. Priorties need to be made hear and where her's lie is very interesting don't you think?

Please get you facts straight- Mr. Palin is NOT a stay at home dad he works for BP one of the biggest oil companies in the country. He took of a year when she became GOV. of Alaska but went back to work.

Want to know what's even more immature? The right-wingers sexual attaction to Palin that blinds their own judgement. This isn't prom night and we aren't selecting a queen, this is the VP were talking about. If McCain picked Pamela Anderson for VP, they would still vote for him.

That's a pretty sexist view - and a pretty immature thought process as far as selecting a President/VP ticket!

Do you even know if I am male or female?

<quoted text>You're a male because I haven't met a female that likes Palin yet.

That's funny...my husband said she reminds him too much of Dustin Hoffman in "Tootsie," which for him is a turn-off. Also, he thinks she's always got her hair piled up on her head to hide the horns.

Who said anything about a sexual attraction? Do you even know if I am male or female? Her sex isn't blinding my judgement at all. I could care less if a candidate is male or female, black, white, red, yellow, whatever! It has no bearing in my eyes. Just as none of those things sways me toward a candidate, none pit me against them either. I've mainly heard right-wingers praising her abilities and accomplishments, oh and defending the sexist attacks against her, I've not heard any say they like her because she's pretty. However I have seen leftist bashers add to their comments "...but she is hot!" or "...but I'd do her!" So who are the immature ones here?

May I ask:
Do people think Sara Palin is the "best" choice to be the Vice President of the United States?
Do you think she is the "most" qualified person to be Commander in Chief if McCain was gone?
Supporters opinions are welcome.

True Patriot wrote:

1) She is presently under investigation in Alaska for abuse of power.
2) She strongly supports big oil (her husband works for oil company BP).
3) She believes creationism should be taught in public schools.
4) She believes global warming is a farce and is opposed to listing the polar bear as an endangered species.
5) She supports drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and anywhere else big oil wants.
6) She supports Pebble Mine which will destroy the richest salmon run in the world.
7) She supports aerial shooting of bears and wolves in Alaska.
8) She is pro-war.
Gov Sarah Palin is just another corrupt politician who would be worse for the environment than even Bush and McCain.

Someone told me about this forum so I decided to read the comments.
Let me start by saying I am born and raised in Buffalo. I joined the Army at the age of 18. I spent 7 years living in Fort Wainwright Alaska. Some of those years were under Gov. Palin.
Did you know that she is for banning books in libraries? Censoring what our kids read? Who is she to say what my kid can read? Is that not my choice?
She is extremely Pro Life, wanted to make even medically necessary abortions illegal? Is that not a decision husband/wife or man/woman should make together? Who is she to say that a womans life is not important only a childs is?
She feels that god is her guide? He will stear her in all her decisions? And that all children should be forced to pray at school everymorning? I am jewish..why would I pray to a christian god?
She actaully accumulated more debt in Alaska than it had in a really long time.
My friends that still reside in Alaska think it is a joke that she was picked for VP. They dont think she is going to help this country at all.
I know I am going to get in trouble for this post but I really dont care. Until you have seen Palin in action, seen how she decides things, and been under her rule people really cant comment.
I witnessed all this and it was not pretty. Yes I do vote, but I vote for the best person not by party. And I dont think she is the best choice at all.
