I sai ,you sai we all scream for Masai !

NEWS FLASH!for FaceBook Nation -Your Messiah has'nt told you yet -you'll be Drafted to carry out "peace keeping" in Kenya, Darfur , Zimbabwe, Sudan ..."So put down your books n' pickup a gun -your gonna have a whole lotta fun"...

Corella McPalin....

Hundreds of Thousands of us have more executive experience than Obama

The neophyte senator from Illinois and his supporters really should aviod the experince argument at ALL costs - it just makes them look foolish.

Sarah has More Foreign Policy Experience

How close is Alaska to Russia boarder. By the way she received INTEL briefs twice a week.

Political Featherweight

And how many times did Obama vote a gutless "present" as he plotted his campaign strategy of pleasant sounding platitudes? Well over one hundred times, right? To be a political heavyweight, must you deliver or merely talk about it when the camera's on. I'll go with the Hockey Mom.

Your Closed Minded

I don't understand this thought. How does OBAMA have the experience? Because he sits on a committee? He obviously was ready to end the war in Iraq ASAP. Does that give you confidence in obama? As far as ANWR, you would rather protect the environment and pay world leaders millions who could care less about the environment/people or US interests. If you care about the environment why don't you make it mandatory that all families in America can only drive one vehicle. Or why don't you make it madatory that everyone ride a bike to work. 25% of the world's oil is consumed by americans. I wish every american would take an in depth pre 1965 US History and see how easy we have it. It's like it is cool to be liberal, something that started during the Vietnam War. That was the beginning of the downfall of the US. Wipe your nose, get to work and lets start solving problems not have petty discussions as who has more experience. It is a coin toss! Hell, most women I know are way more productive than men anyway!

They also have more than Obama does..

So whats your point?

erm...

The title of your article is an insult to the 10,000 facebookers...I think any 10 of them would have more foreign policy experience than Palin.

Name that Opportunity

NAME THAT OPPORTUNITY

NEWSWIRE--Republican women are complaining that media coverage of Governor Sarah Palin is sexist.

The equal rights quandary hangs over her star;

Young mom and political newbie:

Worse not to be chosen for what you are,

Or to be?

Environment

I'm a bit worried about the McCain/Palin energy policy. (Especially drilling in ANWR) I think that one of the best things we can do is support 'green' business. For example, http://www.simplestop.net stops your postal junk mail and benefits the environment.
