Sarah Palin

How Should Sarah Really Be?

You always know when Sarah is around

Like boys seems like she wants to sound;

Wants to be man polishing a boat deck;

Her husband is exposed to a hen peck.

Always in house, wants to wear the britches;

Think she's keeping world in stitches;

Last son was born with Down Syndroe;

First joined military to get away from home.

In her family, many examples can see;

Unwed mother mother who has a pregnancy;

Of families, wants to be perfect example,

Of an American family taken in a sample.

Being Vice-President is not like sportscaster;

Maybe one day, might be Lord and Master;

Hockey moms may be good for the block,

But why put rest of us in perfect shock.

As final mission starts to unfold,

Do we need some Sarah who seems so bold,

Or as the voting time slowly nears,

Have to end up with bunch of bum steers.

Debate

Sen Biden should be able to debate Gov. Palin just like any other candidate. If she cant stand the heat, she shoud get out of the kitchen. She is supposed to be tough . Sen Biden would be remiss in his obligations to his supporters if he was unusually easy on her.

The VP debate

I think Biden should mention each time she fails to answer a ? with any kind of intelligence. If he points that out and she can't get away with her silly generlities then that will show America that she is not ready to be our VP!

I totally think she has an outgoing personality. That has and will continue to get her very far. But if Biden just calmly points out her lack of substance that will win him the debate. We all know Biden is ready!
