Thinking creationism should be taught in Public schools says a lot about a persons character. Someone who is lazy and ignores known facts is despicable to me. I bet her response to every question she doesn't know is "Because God made it that way."

Republicans wake up and take your party back. Aren't you tired of the religious right having an agenda to force their religion on you. Don't you hate how much influence Pat Robertson and all the other "Men of God" have on your party. What ever happened to fiscal conservatism? Smaller government? What ever happened to the republican party of Regan and even Bush Sr?

Yea they are shoving Religion down our throat  ....the other day I had a cop tell me to get to church or he was going
to arrest me. What are you talking about with the "God" thing?...you guys are doing a great job taking god out of everything.
I won't be to long, that it won't be on our dollar. You Liberals beat all.

His equal. Flip it: if Obama is experienced enough to be our next Prez, so is Palin.

It may be true, but it flies in the face of what McCain has been saying about Obama for weeks now.  You can claim that both are inexperienced, or that that both are equally experienced.  Either way, it doesn't help the Republicans at all.  In that sense, I think it buys McCain nothing.

Why not teach the theory of the flying spaghetti monster too? I mean if we are going to teach creationist theories along side evolution we might as well include all religions.

For what its worth: Being Governor of the state of Alaska for two years would seem to me to be a lot more demanding than being a senator from Illinois for two years.  

Plus the experience gained as governor would be much more in line with the knowledge one would need to perform the job as President.  

Final analysis: McCain's VP is still more experienced in government than Obama, even though she is three years younger than he.  The argument of Obamas inexperience is as relevant today as it was yesterday, and will be tomorrow.

My wife, a rabid Hillaryite, was more pissed off than happy about McCain's pick. She felt is was an obvious pander to her constituency, as if they will vote for ANY woman. I think McCain will get little or nothing from the Hillary voters.

Only thing that I said with out facts is the oil thing. Sorry it came from a new clip as a quote of hers. If they were misquoting her then that's not my fault.

The fact remains she has admitted to the firing deal coming from her office and she is hardcore on the religious and wanted to push the intelligent design crap in schools.

"Gov. Sarah Palin on Wednesday revealed an audio recording that shows an aide pressuring the Public Safety Department to fire a state trooper embroiled in a custody battle with her sister.

Palin, who has previously said her administration didn’t exert pressure to get rid of trooper Mike Wooten, also disclosed that members of her staff had made about two dozen contacts with public safety officials about the trooper.
"

Two dozen is 24 calls, in case some haven't passed math yet. That's not a opps my staff called by mistake., silly me.. That is straight up involvement by her office trying to get a State Trooper fired because he was divorcing her sister and in a custody battle.
Then on top of that she fires the guy who refused to fire the State Trooper.


From what I can dig up, looks like the Trooper threatened the life of Palins father, tasered her nephew and abused her sister.

The guy is still working. And 2 Commissioners later, he's still working.

If anybody did that to somebody in my family....  well, suffice to say I'd be less than charmed.

I'd say Palin has shown great restraint. She's also the one that revealed the existence of the tape and provided it to the state legislature and she suspended the guy who made the call to the commissioner.

Further, the commissioner's audit on his department came up lacking, she decided he was not operating the department to the standards she required, and offered him a transfer to another position. He refused it.

You may now resume your hysterical wailing.
The price of Freedom is the willingness to do sudden battle, anywhere, any time and with utter recklessness...

crazed loony god hating liberals....you know, they think the constitution guarantees them freedom FROM religion. 

Liberals, ignore what they say, but keep your eyes on them.

Obama was also a two-term state senator from Illinois.  However, the notion that being a governor is somehow "more demanding" than being a United States Senator... well, that's baffling.  I'd say they both had a great deal of responsibility and probably not a lot of free time.

There is no job that best prepares one for being president.  There is no job like it in the world.  Remember, Carter was a governor.  So was Reagan.  One of these things is not like the other.

So all those years in the state legislature don't count for him then?  Hm.

Her very social conservative views will probably prevent Clinton supporters from switching party lines.


ack-ack

Myself I don't mind conservative views in regard to govt.. In other words like the Republican party used to be before Regan. The problem is they still try to preach like they are conservative when they aren't anything close to it. Hence the reason I always bash the current crop of Republicans because they pretty much suck and the only conservatism they have is towards Religion and their so called morals. That's exactly what is screwing up this country, the entire Republican party has been hi-jacked by the religious right and big business.

If Republicans actually stood for less govt less taxes like they used to, then I'd support them like I used to. The problem is they are worse than the Democrats because the current crop of Republican have no control on spending. It's just freaking crazy how much these guys have been spending and how fast they have put this country in serious long term trouble. No way can that party be trusted at this point.

I will never support a Republican until they get their act together and that don't look like it will be anytime soon.

If she does and is successful, she won't get another shot in 2012. So... don't hold your breath.

Agreed; he has lost his "inexperienced" avenue of attack. He'll have to switch to a just as qualified defensive approach now.
