This is a no brainer. To appreciate Sara Palin you would first have to enjoy conservative values. Small government, personal responsibility, a love for our country and a strong sense of moral values. If this is where you stand you love Sara Palin. If you desire a large socialist government, Government to take control of your life, a dislike for our country and a life with no moral boundaries then Joe Biden is the VP for you. How simple can it get.

In much the way that better-knowing-people compromised any intergrity they once had to ‘toe the party line’ in electing the very un-electable George Bush to office TWICE, many of those same apologists are providing the very same sort of support to another mental midget, Simple Sarah.
Hopefully, enough of them rue their decisions of old to do the right thing this time around.
Obama/Biden ‘08!

Palin comes across as not just brassy and immature but also incoherent and uninformed. Bit sad that McCain couldn’t find a more appropriate running mate.

I love how the right wingers are quick to point fingers at a ‘leftist media’…this isn’t a biased portrayal? The slip up AT BEST reveals her inability to communicate and at worst reveals her understanding of geography…frankly, I wouldn’t be surprised at the latter given her very recent acquisition of a PASSPORT.

you can complain all you want, media this and media that, then go back to watching your fair and balanced FOX (lol). Palin is not qualified, of course we should be emphasizing her goofs, so people can understand her scant knowledge on important issues….like the cause of global warming, political events in the middle east, etc. etc.

The Republicans are promoting Palin similar to how they promoted Bush in ‘00 and ‘04. The home town, BBQ/beer guzzling average “Joe”. We have all seen how well that panned out.

If her finger ever ends up on the “nookular” button, let’s hope her grasp of geography is better than this gaffe suggests. Otherwise, I’d be very worried if I were Canadian.

Anyway, here’s another Palin joke for your entertainment:

A couple of Palin supporters are out hunting in the woods when one of them falls to the ground. He doesn’t seem to be breathing and his eyes have rolled back in his head.

The other guy whips out his mobile phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps to the operator: “My friend is dead! What can I do?”

The operator, in a soothing voice, says: “Just take it easy. I can help. First, let’s make sure he’s dead.”

There is a silence, then a shot is heard. The guy’s voice comes back on the line. He says: “OK, now what?”

I don’t want my leaders to be like me; I demand them to be better than me. With the salaries/benefits we pay them, I want my money’s worth!

And if Sarah Palin is the new voice of the right, I’m going to invest in an earplug company.

Case in point:
“I’m not saying that he’s dishonest,” Palin said on the flight from Pensacola, Fla., to Greenville, “but in terms of judgment and in terms of being able to answer questions forthrightly, it has two different parts to this, that judgment and that truthfulness and just being able to answer very candidly a simple question about when did you know him, how did you know him, has been there been an association continued since ‘02 or ‘05. We’ve heard a couple of different stories. I think it’s relevant.”

Not sure what McCain was thinking. When this election is over and Obama has won, it would be for the following reasons:

1. Economy, which is not his fault but he belongs to the party in power.

2. Iraq War, i.e., decision to go to the war in the first place and his continued insistence that he will stay there.

3. Sarah Palin. He would have done so much better picking someone like Bobby Jindal. I would have voted for him but now my decision to vote for Obama is a no brainer.
