Embarrassing

I have always considered myself a Republican, but as I grow older and wiser(I'm 26) I find myself leaning more and more moderate. I found this article doing research for a paper in college about the fall of the GOP. Just the few comments I read were pretty embarrassing. If you're going to defend Sarah Palin, could you please take the time to learn how to spell her name? It just seems that more and more all I'm seeing is uneducated rednecks supporting Republicans and it is embarrassing.

sarah palen, smart enough

I think Sarah Palen is an Anmerican that cares about our country and the American people. She is probably as smart as any of the other Presidents have been, although some of them have not been too bright, as we can see by what is happening now, and has happened in the past to our country under their care. She may need help as all other Presidents have, and also I think she would listen to the voice of the people, which most of them have not been doing, and thats' one reason why the American people are very angry, and they should be. When we have been getting "Taxation" without "Representation" from our "Government"; for many years, it's time for real change, and time for the people to open their eyes and take a good look at whats been going on. Our Constitution and Sovereignty are at stake, and we must stand up, and let our voices be heard.

Sarah Palin

All of you GD repulicans are just angry because there is an AFRICAN AMERICAN IN THE WHITE HOUSE

Palen stands out as an American........first!

Sarah Palen has scared the Democratic Party and the far left to

death. They, and the left Bush hating news media, fully realize that she alone has the best chance of uniting the country against the Marxist Obama and the socialist thinking

Polisi and Reid that hve somehow risen to power in Congress.

They better stay on her case if they don't want her coming after them in a like-wise manner....but for more realistic reasons...like treason. To date, Glen Beck is the only news-

man telling it like it really is...Obama is a GD communist, and

faster then anyone realizes, is purposely and intentially

leading the country to ruin and Hell. Give the power to the poor and there won't be any power...or anything else that resembles the America that my father and I fought for. I was

raised a Democrat, as were most Georgians, but unlike those

that supposedly represent us today in Washington, the country

comes first and foremost...not special interest. Sarah Palen

is the closest thing to a real American patriot since Newt

screwed his way out of politics. And while I'm at it, to

quote Winston Churchill, and several other realistic think-

ing humans....there is substitute for victory. Obviously,

there are those....far too many.... that would rather live

under tyranny and communism than fight it. Palen may be the

best....only chance we have...and the left knows it.

sarah palen

Still no transcript on sarah. She is a smart woman why not show her grades. Most smart people want to see their grades.

Agnes of Ak.

Dear Agnes, Please, Havn't you learned yet Obama IS NOT A MUSLIM! You being so pious and holy and all knowing seems you might know this, he is a Christian as I am also. What my bible says is God loves all people, he loves you doesn't he?

Sara Palin for president.

So far I seem to be out numbered on the opinions because I do not think Sara Palin is presidential material. I guess shes a good ole girl and the red necks sure do love her, what with all the huntin, and fishin, and snowmobilin, and shootin wolfs from airplanes etc. but her record of running things isn't all that great. With Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity having such a huge crush on her you'd think she was the best thing ever happened to this country. Sorry I'll pass. If those are what she has for friends, good grief count me out! What if they became her running mate, What a nightmare!

Sarah Palin could run this country better...

I believe in Sarah Palin with the job as president would clean up what others have down trodden our principles.

Anyone that hates America should move out regardless of race. We are a nation of many races, we must take care of each other in all walks of life. If not We will devour one another, then America will not exist any longer.

Therefore we need Sara Palin as our next president. Stop running her down, people bend your head down and pray good things for her and for your self keep America great as our for-fathers gave to us.

God Bless Sarah

Sarah was put on God's great Earth to save us from the devil, who goes by the name Obama. Obama is a muslim. We will fight and defeat all the unholy gays, minorities, and non-believers who want to take out country away from us.

Palin's Governing is Sound

I survived a gang rape 20 years ago...I volunteer at our local pregnancy center...I am involved with woman's health and pregnancy. I am pro-choice, (meaning I AM NOT PRO-ABORTION). Those who claim to be pro-choice are really pro-abortion since they do not clearly offer non-abortive options with the same gusto! So you know I have children, however I am also "post-abortive" from 20 years ago. The symptoms of the abortion, emotional, physical & spiritual I would NOT wish on any one. You think we are hormonal when we have our cycle or are pregnant? You haven't seen anything in the way of pain & turmoil till you have encountered a post-abortive person. Perhaps so many symptoms that require Rx and therapy could be eliminated if only we had the courage to look deeper at the root cause. Do not blame rape as an excuse to abort babies...the numbers do not support this.

Fetus in the greek means "little one"...they deserve & need to be protected by adults.

I admire Sarah Palin and would vote for her...if only she would run for office!
