We as a country do not want Palin as our President Sarah if you can't take the heat from David late night stay out the kitchen. Obama will have second term then it will be Hillary Clinton. She knows what to say and how to act. Hillary is able to take the heat.

Let the real hockey moms of the world decide:
1. How many of Palin's kids play hockey?
2. How many years have each of them played hockey?
3. At what level do each of them play?

The comment was about the McCain doctrine being the same as the Bush doctrin. Anything can be taken out of context and twisted.
Perhaps Palin was calling her self a bitch when she compared her self to a dog. Do you suppose? Have you read about her scandle in Alaska? Maybe the shoe fits.
Lets take everything out of context and make it what we want, then it works for everyone.

What I don't understand is why hockey moms as well as women in general not up in arms about Sarah Palin calling hockey moms Dogs In Lipstick!
Whereas I have no particular cause to vote against a hockey mom on the strength that her kids play hockey, I do draw the line at voting for a dog, whether in lipstick or not.
Personally, I find Sarah Palin's comment likening women to dogs totally offensive. The McCain/Palin camp's accusation of Obama's remark regarding McCain's policies being likened to putting lipstick a pig but the pig being a pig lipstick or not is a smokescreen.....unless it's the GOP projecting because THEY believe Sarah Palin is a pig instead of the pit bull SHE SAID SHE IS.
Whatever the case, Palin, McCain AND Obama gives a strong reason to not share makeup. Everyone knows dogs lick their own butts and pigs root around in their own crap.

This is a ridiculous distraction. It's not worth the virtual ink wasted on the debate.

Sherry of CO - It is not a question of what religion Obama is. For 20 years, he sat in the pews of a radical pastor who spewed racism, and hatred toward our country. OB claims he was unaware of his pastors views. Even if that was true, what does it say about his judgement or perception of people? I don't want someone like that being the leader of this great nation. Does the fact that he befriended a man who bombed the U.S. Embassy (who I might add stated he was not sorry for what he did but wished he had done more), mean nothing? Check out some of his other associations. The biased media didn't even report on any of this until a year after it had been exposed. It only took them one day to jump all over Governor Sarah Palin when her nomination was announced. Do you ask yourself, "Why is this guy given a free pass? Why wasn't he better scrutinized? I'll tell you why. It's because the Media wanted him "in" and they did everything in their power to promote him and not expose him. I suggest you start doing your homework and ask yourself why our enemies would be very happy if OB gets voted in. Stop listening to the biased media, half-wit movie stars and MTV hosts. Oh, and by the way, things started going downhill in this country when the Dems. became a majority in Congress in 2006 when Dems wanted "Change." They made sure they voted down every bit of legislation set before them by the Reps who were trying to build our economy. We may have had a Republican President and VP, but it's the Congress who decides what legislation goes into effect. Get informed and be a responsible voter.
