Palin's small-town snobbery is faulty

come one people... Sarah Palin doesn't frankly know enough to be VP or President. I just wish if there was to finally be a woman in one of those seats it would have been Hilary and not this woman that's trying to limit my right to choose and appears to be a puppet politician.(sounds familiar).

oh choose this already,,,,,,you want a baby have it, if you don't use a rubber like any other normal woman

dont' get into my uterus whaaaaaaaaaa

Independent voter polls on CNN and CBS said that Biden was the clear cut winner in the debate by the wide margins in both polls. Moreover, Biden was smiling because he realized that the airhead on the other side of the other stage was talking out of her behind.

cnn and cbs ? hah

Don't tell me that this stupid b.s. is still going around. Obama produced his birth records (the only presidential candidate that had to in the history of this country). We're still waiting for mccains medical records.

No, he didn't. He put an "alleged" copy on his website.

Again, you can't think of any logical reason why Obama will not spring for the $10 and provide an authentic certified copy of his birth certificate, rather than a picture of one on his website. Don't feel bad, I can't think of a good reason, either, other than he is hiding something. So, again:

All Obama would have to do to dispel all of these rumors about his citizenship is to provide an authentic copy of his birth certificate to the court, to the plaintiff, or even to a credible media outlet. The fact that he will not do so is very suspect.

I’d like to ask you a question. Considering the fact that there is no private information about Barack Obama on his birth certificate that we don’t already know, CAN YOU THINK OF ANY LOGICAL REASON THAT OBAMA WOULD REFUSE TO PROVIDE A CERTIFIED COPY OF HIS BIRTH CERTIFICATE?

I’ll be waiting for your answer.

McCain's medical records have been released and reviewed - all 1000+ pages. Obama submitted 1 page for his medical records - heard this being discussed on a talk show (democratic slant) today.

Palin won? Not according to the polls:

CNN/Opinion Research Biden 51 Palin 36
CBS Biden 46 Palin 21
Fox Biden 61 Palin 39
And on MSNBC: Biden has 71% to Palin's 29%

And with indies:
Survey USA Biden 51% Palin 32%
Undecided 17%

MediaCurves.com tracked independent voters, showing them breaking to Biden 67% to Palin 33%.

So much for Palin. She's an empty suit who can read cue cards, speak well in public and stick to the talking points. That's about it.

And I dont' think I could take 4 years of 'gosh golly geewhiz doggone' accentuated with a wink. Ugh.

Agree! Have you ever seen a photo of Wasilla? Not the Andy Griffith and Opie town she professes it to be. It is a rather unattractive town. She uses reverse elistims with this small town "values" crap. She is trying to resurrect the class wars we've seen in the past. Now very pathetic!

Typos sorry about that. Should read She uses revers elitism and I meant to type How very pathetic!

Don't forget about the high rate of violent crime in Alaska. One of the highest in the country.

Don't forget about the number of MURDERS in the State that Obama is Senator of, Illinois. Obama wants to stop the war in Iraq, yet more Americans die in Obama's home state of Illinois than in the WAR. Maybe he has been at grammar school so long learning how to give speeches he doesn't have time to help solve the problems in his own backyard. Shameful.

And Wasilla, Alaska became the meth capital of the state while Palin was mayor. And Alaska has the highest per capita rate of rape of any state in the nation. Maybe she has been in the tanning bed so long she doesn't have time to help solve the problems in her own back yard. Shameful.

See how stupid that sounds?

Oh, and to show how your statement is even more asinine--during Obama's tenure as a State Senator (1997-2004) the murder rate in Chicago FELL by 40%.

Alaska's murder rate since Palin took office is HIGHER than Illinois; the rate of forcible rape is more than 230% HIGHER than Illinois during Palin's term, and the rate of Aggravated Assault is over 60% HIGHER than Illinois during Palin's term.

And rates in Illinois are going down while rates in Alaska are going up.

And you are late for your meeting of the TFM Club.

Send this women back to Alaska, Canada or wherever she's from. You all know this women is not qualified to VP. Stop trying to make white-women as you all have done so many times before. This Paula mess is rediclious and somebody needs to say so---she's a joke or should I say the ones who is pushing for her is a joke. Stop trying to make a white women!!!!!

Wow! I came to this column late but I'm so thankful to find someone finally articulating what has been driving me crazy. I love my country. I consider myself a good person and a good citizen. Why does the fact that I'm from an urban area make me less of an authentic American?

No, what MSNBC actually said is that Sarah Palin did not act like Kelly Bundy, which is a tremedous improvement for Palin.

As opposed to Chrissie Matthews (of the chills up my legs when I hear Obama speak)? or Keith Oberfurhrer and Rachel Madcow? All of MSNBC a station known throughout America for its fairness and objectivity. LOL

Rural America, birthplace of the Ku Klux Klan and the incubator of Creationism. But, please, by all means, go ahead and tell the rest of us about morality and intellect.

And while your at it, discuss the rampant methamphetamine crisis strangling rural, not urban, America.

I think Sarah needs to get a grip on life elsewhere than a place where the Salmon out-number the people by 100 to 1. She is an idiot and I will not vote for McCain because his first major decision was to pick a VP and he insulted us by picking a "skirt" Sorry but its the truth and it will cost him the office of President for it.

It doesn't bother me that he picked a female to run as VP. I doesn't like the idea he picked an unqualified female.
