Easy answer.....

I know Gov. Sarah Palin has rough/raw edges, can seem at times like a simpleton, and is not always smooth in her speech. Yet, as you personally have experienced, it is unwise for her opponents to underestimate her. I suspect this is because her confidence (and thus the populist favor she receives) comes from outside herself, as expressed in Psalm 27 of the Bible: "The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the defense of my life; Whom shall I dread? When evildoers came upon me to devour my flesh, My adversaries and my enemies, they stumbled and fell. Though a host encamp against me, In spite of this I shall be confident..." Perhaps God has brought Sarah Palin to the forefront to be a sore reminder to America that pride goes before stumbling, and humbling before exaltation. The more you and the liberal media try to humiliate/humble someone who has personally humbled himself/herself before Him, the more He will exalt him/her and give him/her favor with the people - "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth..."

Sara Palin will have access to Nuclear lauch codes. How scary is that? If a situation arises, she is the ONE. Mortality tables tell us that Senator McCain has a 1 in 3 chance of not completing his term in office, god forbid. But if that should happen you would have a Hockey Mom making a decision whose only foreign trips where to Mexico (Vacation) and Canada (Hockey.)Ms. Palin has basically run a Mayberry RFD town for most of her political career. She is sooooo out of her league, you have to question those that put this "likeable" beauty queen" with folksy lines 2nd in line for the most powerful and important job in the entire world.

Just be patient everyone. In a few months, Mrs. Palin will be back into obscurity as quickly as she emerged from the coldness of Alaska's oil-crazed frontier. She is a nothing who became a little something. She will soon go back to being a nothing. And that is something we can all be thankful for.

I'm sorry, folks, but you just have to admit it. Sarah is a dummy. She's pretty and has a pretty girl's expectation that no one is really listening so say what you want, but she's just a dummy. She's not the least bit curious about the nation or its affairs and never has been. Question: 'Do you read books?' ans: 'Not really' Q:'Can you name a newspaper you read?' A:'Sure, lots' (meaning no, I don't read newspapers) She's unaware of things because she's uninterested in things. Any damn fool can listen to the evening news and the Daily Show and know more about current affairs than she does. She just doesn't care. Because people like you let her get ahead anyway. It's an insult to the American people to have a woman of this little interest offered as vice president to a man who is 72 years old and has had four different cancers so far. Just a damn insult.

I think Palin has got great qualifications to be a bartender. Or maybe a pole dancer. I'm not sure I would want her big mouth one heart beat away from running any state....well maybe Alaska....oh thats right she was actually elected Governor there. No wonder Alaska is viewed as a bunch of out of touch hill billy losers. Her selection shows just how stupid McCain is and how desperate the Republicans are in this election.

Can't you channel all this time and energy with your anti-Palin site towards something more constructive? Run for another political office, do more charity work, spend more time with your family. There must be something you can better do with all this extra time you have on your hands to run this sarcastic site. Just a thought...

On October 8, 2004 George W Bush debated John Kerry. Clearly visible under Bush's jacket was the square outline of something, widely believed to be part of a system to provide Bush with electronic crib notes during the debate, and examination of the video showed Bush always keeping one side of his head (ear) turned away from the camera. I don't recall that the matter was pursued or resolved but there was much feeling that the Roveans will do anything to win and that dopey Bush was wore a wire to his debate. Now this afternoon another board finds posters wondering what might lurk, come Thursday night, under Palin's long hair. My own thought is that no amount of cramming can turn Palin into a policy scholar; she can't form a complete sentence. She is a bunch of talking points looking for a mind. What happens will depend on how willing the moderator is to press Palin for an actual response to the actual question. Is Gwen Ifill known to be amenable to playing Keep-Away?

I am not a naive child. The evolution of the downward financial nosedive is a consequence in direct proportion to the continued lack of response by either party to devote unwavering support to reform policies addressing corporate greed and corruption. Today, after many, many days of the same, Atlanta residents are camping out for hours at gas stations, even overnight, trying to score enough gas to make it home and to work, school, day care....the list goes on and on. I happen to mention this because I live in the Atlanta metropolitan area. Did I fail to mention that regular gas is going for $4.29 a gallon at the closest gas station...well, I just did. On my way to the gas station there an intersection not far from the county line where few police officers patrol....due to the gas shortage county officers are not allowed to drive as much as they need to, and there are two major interstates connecting in the nearby vicinity. At dusk this intersection, and the on ramps are staked out by homeless people who spend most of the day foraging around the neighborhoods for odd jobs, a meal, or anything valuable from the dumpsters behind the strip mall. Mostly they are men but recently women and few couples with children have been spotted. We have no emergency shelters in my city because the residents of the nicer neighborhoods have effectively prevented them from being established so close to where they shop or live. The children are not here by choice. They are the victims of criminals who control the lives of the "little people" like you and I who make up the backbone of America. This is the real legacy of the Bush era. Open your eyes and look in your own neighborhoods for the human fallout being paid in lives wasted, jobs lost, stores closed, services non existent. Then vote. You owe allegiance to your children.....not a political party.

I think Diane Benson would make a great match with you. Even though she is a democrat.

I wouldn't lower yourself to responding to anything a failed 9-time candidate for public office has to say. There's a reason people in his own party don't give him money. ON another note -I came up with a good phrase: Real Alaskan Girls don't wear Lipstick...... I also like: Real Alaskans own Sled Dogs -not pitbulls.

As the old tale goes,flying too close to the sun will result in a thermal reality check.Icarus learned this lesson the hard way, falling back to earth in a heap of waxed feathers and a dose of humility. Sarah,on the other hand, is being shielded from the heat of scrutiny by party hacks and spin doctors. When the party uses Guliani as a switch hitter for her, something is awry. If she wants to ascend to the heavens, let her fly with her own angelic wings. Revisionist history of her public record and thwarting of her non-scripted public appearances is unacceptable. Turn the stage lights on and debate the issues! Hiding behind populist platitudes, parsed rhetoric, and chorus girl make-up doesn't qualify you to possibly be the leader of the free world.

Well put Andrew. She is way out her league! Just review the Katie Couric interview from this past week. Palin had much difficulty at best, in any attempt to answer the questions put to her from Couric. Palin should do the noble and right thing step down from the republican ticket as soon as possible and avoid any further embarrassment to herself and the State of Alaska.

I'll say this about Sarah Palin: she's provided those of us in the Lower 48 an education about Alaskan politics. I was familiar with geography of Alaska, even that "maritime border with Russia," but was ignorant of the political culture . . . until now. "Interesting," "fun," "chaotic," "unpredictable," and "full of colorful polical characters" are words that come to mind. Is this what our country was like in the 19th century before we became policy wonks or right-wing theocrats? Paul Benjamin Madison, WI

This is VERY interesting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQGv7linCVY All of us know how silly this video is - but note how well it is produced. This is a slick, professional job and it would be very interesting to find out who financed this latest smear.

I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE VP DEBATE! Though they've allegedly made it tougher for exchanges between the two, Joe Biden is absolutely still going to tear her to shreds. She can't even answer fluff balls thrown at her by Katie Couric or Charlie Gibson. It will be classic. Maybe he should ask her about dinosaurs. Does McCrusty think we're stupid and we won't see who and what she really is? He has learned a painful lesson but can't take this one back. I'm not even an Obama supporter!

Or maybe you're just a sore loser, still trying to get even after being defeated by her in 2006. Consider retitling your website 'The Halcro Rear View Chronicle.

...I can see Russia from my rear view mirror...so that might make sense. AH
