Sarah Palin

When is someone going to give this idiot a geography lesson. I just want to reach through the T.V. screen and choke the ever loving life out of that ignorant fool. It's bad enough we, the people of this country, are going through the worst economic times since the great depression, that the republican party has decided to torture us even more. Sarah Palin, shut the F up.

Time for a New Republican Vice Presidential Candidate

Support Peter for Vice President. He knows about real neighboring countries, like Canada. http://peter-for-vice-president.blogspot.com/2008/09/my-candidacy-for-vice-presidency.html

I believe John McCain picked Sarah Palin as VP candidate to capture the Jerry Springer and reality TV crowds which are not traditionally Republican constituents.

We need a President (and VP) who can think, analyze, and make reasoned decisions. Not a President that runs back and forth to Washington posturing and is totally ineffective and will cause more damage. Sarah Palin said it herself...she didn't even "blink an eye" when accepting to be McCain's running mate. Well, maybe most of the rest of us would have put serious though into what such a position entails. Please, vote for Barack Obama or I fear the worst!

Years ago, when I was coaching freshman basketball in high school, we used to have a self-deprecating saying: "We may be small, but we're slow." Well, Sarah Palin may be nasty, but she's dense. I still cannot believe that any reasonably intelligent person could even consider voting for her. What does her choice as VP candidate say about our entire political process, much less the cynicism of the entire McCain campaign???

Couldn't John McCain have found a woman of substance to put on the ticket with him? What does his selection of Palin say about his judgment?

I guess it is neighboring if you figure it is on the other side of Russia, which you can see from her front door in alaska...lol...oh yeah, the sun never sets on Russia, do ya think that means it is really big? So maybe not quite neighbors after all, huh...
