Palin gets chance to overcome doubts in VP debate

Sarah Palin is heading into her debate with Joe Biden, easily the most-anticipated vice presidential faceoff ever, weighed down by fresh evidence that voters are developing serious doubts about her readiness for the job.

Go, Sarah!
Read a newspaper, figure there's more than Roe vs Wade out there, and more to international relations than a few trade missions, learn there's more to economics than home ec., meet the press, show Joe Biden how smart you really are.

I suspect that between her chutzpah and the intensive pregame coaching she will do pretty well. It should be interesting in any case. But - remember the saying - if you can't convince 'em with facts - dazzle 'em with bulls-it - she is good at that and people seem to not know the difference. I mean - consider that - to this day -there are seasoned people who have been on the poitical scene for decades who still call Reagan the "great communicator". I tried to follow several of Reagan's speechs and Q & As with the media- he spoke in circles - he was the master of circles - a soothing, calming, grandfatherly delivery - he mesmerized his audiences - but that hardly qualified him as a great communicator and yet - that is the title he bears. Go figure.

Sarah can do it. Someday. Maybe in 8 years, after she studies world affairs and knows issues.

She won't get it done Thursday at the debate. But she has a future if she hasn't burned her Bridges To Nowhere behind her in Alaska.

She will never overcomes the doubts - just intensify them. This person is not qualified to be in any form of government - let alone VP of the US. Send her packing to Alaska and let them dispose of the empty carcass.

No need for Sarah to do that, Biden's happily married.

On the other hand, her son in law to be, Levi, is a world class horn dog who needs to sow his wild oats...

I think she should stick to shooting wolves & elk out of helicopters, it's what she fights to legalize & knows best . Stripping & destroying Alaska's past pristine environment, resources & wildlife doesn't seem to bother the backward right wing nuts who live there. But try to bring a whole country down to the level of Safari Club Members and you will have some unhappy animal & environmental advocates who will make you pay. I'm on the animal's side of Palin's little war against nature, don't fu** with me.

Biden is a pompous ass egomaniac who will be unable to stop his spastic mouth. Biden likes all of the attention, but deep down, he don't want to give up his cushy seat in the Senate.

Biden's mouth and ego will define the debate. Sarah just has to be Sarah and let Biden put his foot in his mouth.

How long is the beast allowed to have authority in Revelations?

Revelations Chapter 13 tells us it is 42 months, and you know what that is.
Almost a four-year term of a Presidency.

All I can say is 'Lord, Have mercy on us!'

According to The Book of Revelations the anti-Christ is: The anti-Christ will
be a man, in his 40's, of MUSLIM descent, who will deceive the nations with
persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal....the prophecy says
that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace,
and when he is in power, will destroy everything..

Do we recognize this description??

I STRONGLY URGE each one of you to post this as many times as
you can! Each opportunity that you have to send it to a friend or media outlet..do it!
I refuse to take a chance on this unknown candidate who came out of nowhere.

Dear Friends,

As I was listening to a news program last night, I watched in horror as Barack Obama made the statement with pride...'we are no longer a Christian nation; we are now a nation of Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists,...' As with so many other statements I've heard him (and his wife) make, I never thought I'd see the day that I'd hear something like that from a presidential candidate in this nation. To think our forefathers fought and died for the right for our nation to be a Christian nation--and to have this man say with pride that we are no longer that. How far this nation has come from what our founding fathers intended it to be.

I hope that each of you will do what I'm doing now--send your concerns, written simply and sincerely, to the Christians on your email list. With God's help, and He is still in control of this nation and all else, we can show this man and the world in November that we are, indeed, still a Christian nation!

To rip someone means to "rip them a new poo hole", capish?

Some of the people on here I just can't believe.
Christians do need to ban together like never before. This could be the end of U.S. as we know it.

I don't believe you are off topic at all. People won't recognize the antichrist and many will be fooled. Hello people? If he is the ONE, and wins these poor suckers will be burning in hell with him in the end. The people he fools do not have eyes to see, nor ears to hear.

That's a pretty amazing prophecy considering Christianity predates Islam by 400 years.

You evidently have never read the bible, you only spew propaganda about it.

Why doesn't SNL make fun of Obama, the guy has sadi so many stupid things I could make a bathroom reader out of all of it.

If people are going to let the dumbass lib worthless actors on SNL make up their minds for them they're idiots. And by the way, SNL sucks,....it used to be good back in the days when John Belushi and the rest were on it but these people today are lame. Not even close to the old days. I'm suprised it's still on the air.
