Palin wants creationism taught in schools. I think this quote says it best… “I would defend the liberty of consenting adult creationists to practice whatever intellectual perversions they like in the privacy of their own homes; but it is also necessary to protect the young and innocent.”
Arthur C. Clarke

Thank God for Sarah Palin and the bloggers! Gov Palin has not been in the Senate since 1973 like Biden. There is good news!

Whow, call a spade a spade; our country is getting played with the venom illustrated in our society with money, power, and greed which “clearly” motivated McSame’ VP appointment;

And the GOP is doing whatever it takes to stay in power and is not in the best interest of the America voters;

Why is it that McCain’s spouse transferring 48% of the American beer market oversea in now in the news? When the on spin Obama associations with others opposed to for example of McCain losing sight of how many homes they own as husband and wife? Money, Power and Greed!

The GOP strategy is clear- keep the negative venom (for as race and the femine movement in this election process) and the American people will not focus 90% of what is real and what is not, in their choice for the best candidate for the job.

McSame really needs a check up for the neck up!

Why is it that, the news media is sheltering the fact that the Russian leader, Putin, advised the Americans to look at their presidential candidates or powers to be involuted the current conditions in Georgia for political gain.

McSame was the first one to put focus on this current condition in Georgia!

McSame, not the American people, not this time! Hell no to the GOP strategy and the disillusion that says that you are the most qualified to be commander-in-chief. This is including your “beauty queen” VP pick.

Wake up America or live with being a joke of the world as “superpower!” and the country settling for four more years of the same strategy being delivered by McSame and the GOP- that have had our country in turmoil for the past eight years.

America, it not about the GOP or the DEM -It is about you! Call a spade a spade and live with four more years of McSame-

I hear alot about Sarah Palin not having enough experience to govern because she is from a small state and cant be commader-in cheif. I have witnessed the Alaska State National Guard Striker battalion, that she is commander in cheif of, here in Iraq quell the extreme voilence in norther Iraq, Mosul in 2006. Before they came to Mosul the base experienced 5-10 morter attacks a week minimum. Shortly after they arrived attacks plunged to only 12 in 6 month while I was there. Then the ALASKA Guard Strickers were sent to Baghdad as Violence was spiraling out of control in early 2007. Their tour extended to 15 months, Allowed General Petraeus’s surge forces to gain the upper hand on the extemist killers that were slaughtering Iraqis by the thousand. The Alaska National Guard Striker Battalion, as a battle harden and proven Defender of Freedom, believes that she is ready to be commader in cheif if called upon!!
Also since Alaska is also the Largest State of our Union with the greatest Natural resource of any State in the union. She has fought to protect from the corruption of excesses. That is why she ran for governor!! And she suceeded. She has a Degree in Jornalism! She has Exectutive Experience. ( OBAMA OR BIDEN HAS NONE) Alaska Has a balanced Budget that Sarah Palin has presided over. (OBAMAS AND BIDEN VOTING RECORD IN THE SENETE HAS ONLY INCREASED THE NATIONAL DEBT OF OUR COUNTRY). Sarah Palin has Military Commader in Chief Experience (OBAMA AND BIDEN DO NOT) What am I missing here? As Far as Forgein Policy. She will have compassion, and empathy for our allies abroad. But make no mistake Russia,Iran and any enemy that would attack the U.S. or our allies. As the news cast have shown Sarah Palin with the M16. She will and knows how to pull the trigger!!

As a Republican for 35 years,I was deeply disappointed in the selection of Palin as McCain’s VP. I personally look at whether I agree with the overall values a Party represents, the resume/experience/maturity level(Presidential feel) of a candidate for office, and his/her character and integrity over the course of a career as I make a decision of whom to vote for. Unlike others, I do not vote for someone based merely on gender or color–I analyze the above factors. I actually agree with some major ideologic ideas from both Democrats and Republicans, but have been a Republican because as a business owner, overall I desire limited government and taxes with fiscal responsibility. Also, even though a registered Republican,I will vote for another Party’s candidate based on the above factors outlined as I voted for Al Gore in the last election.
McCain’s choice of VP was especially critical to me because of his age so I intended to look at his VP choice more closely–a factor the Democrats are always using against him. He clearly has more experience than Obama and that was his strong factor with me. Yet, now he has selected someone who has a high statistical chance of stepping into his shoes because of his age, who I believe clearly does not have the experience or qualifications to be President of the United States of America at this point in her career. Obama lacked experience and he was smart to pick a VP to counteract his weakness, even though chances are slim he will die in office. McCain should have done the same–two candidates with extraordinary experience, integrity, and qualifications (male or female of any color) were key to winning the election over Obama–especially due to his age and since he is the underdog. McCain picked his VP strictly based on the gender factor and because she is VERY conservative in order to pick up votes. I believe this is a big mistake which will backfire, & McCain will lose voters on the fence or cross-overs like me that do not want too far right or left. I cannot vote for any ticket with her on it because it is unfathomable to me that she could be our President–which is much more likely to happen as McCain’s VP. I also find it odd that he has only met her once or twice. This confirms to me that rather than thinking of the possible consequences of his selection or analzing who is the better candidate for VP, he merely picked someone who he thought would pick up the women voters and evangelicals who don’t like him. Now I question his judgment.
Unfortunately, John McCain just lost my vote, along with 3 other Republican votes in our household.

As a military member residing in Alaska with a child old enough to enter kindergarten in most states and a wife whom has worked in education for the state of Alaska, Sarah Palin is not the candidate you wish to support if education is high on your list of priorities. Schools in her state (specifically the Fairbanks area, interior Alaska) are not in accordance with the “No Child Left Behind” Act of 2001 signed into law by President Bush. They lack Special Education teachers and tutors for special needs students and students behind the learning curve on the suggested curriculum. Alaska does not fund its schools using state taxes. Rather, it uses federal income tax to fund its schools. Alaska schools refuse to become Title I schools. Title I schools are those schools required under the “No Child Left Behind” Act of 2001 to provide supplemental instruction to students that are special needs or falling behind in their curriculum. The state of Alaska, under Governor Palin, has cut the aforementioned programs that the federal money was intended to provide for by labeling these students other than special needs in the areas stated and not classifying as Title I. In doing so the State of Alaska, under Governor Palin, deceptively has accepted federal money for services not rendered, while continuing the permanent dividend fund. She is quite a reformer indeed. This is quite a disturbing revelation considered she has mothered a special needs child.

Palin is anti-choice, a lifetime member of the NRA, does not believe humans are causing global warming, favors drilling for oil in ANWR and teaching creationism in schools. Her political experience is small-town mayor and governor of a thinly populated state. McCain is 72 years old. Do we want this unknown right-wing extremist in the world’s most powerful position?

Thank God we now have two people we can trust to run our Country.John I believe God touched your Heart and mind which guided you to the choice you made.although you had some great Americans to choose from We/You needed someone that will help you beat Obama and I believe Shrah can do it with you.Joe is looking forward to debating Sarah.Well let him run his mouth and when he stops just read from his speech just a few days before he was ask to run with Obama>>>> “Obama is not ready to run our country”.That came from Joe’s mouth..Another thing,I want to thank you for all that you have done for our Country.You suffered so.
Obama’s Camp made remarks about you useing that to win.As tragic as it was.The Auto accident His Wife was in that took their lives was very sad and I am so sorry that He had to go through that however,How many times has that been reported by Obamas Camp….I Pray that God will be with Sarah’s Son and My Grandson that is also leaving in Sept.to go to Iraq.
May God Bless you both…Mary

Obama is not heavy on experience but at least he was educated at a decent school (Columbia) and got a degree in POLITICAL SCIENCE. And then he went on to get a law degree. Since governing is all about the LAW that is an excellent background. He also has some legislative experience in the his state Senate and the US Senate.
He is likely to be able to handle the Presidency.
Palin went to a pathetic school and her degree is in JOURNALISM… she is very qualified to be a weather girl… but President!!!??? Governor of Alaska is a joke job… hell even Jesse Ventura was a Governor of a bigger state (more than 5 times larger population).

Everyone is so touchy here!! Let’s face it, no matter which of these clown teams win, the country will lose! We have a choice between an over the hill, out of touch, flip-flopping, Alzheimer old fart or a man with numerous hidden agendas, an empty suit golden boy!
With these non-choices, we are doomed! Kind of like the choice of death by hanging or death by firing squad. Either way, the results are the same!
