What Palin did last night is a recital of memorized scripts. She doesn’t have the qualifications to be a VP. She should host Fox news. She would do great at reading a teleprompt and pretend that she cares about America Obama/Biden 08

I saw a sign this weekend for "Obama, Franken and Oberstar". I didn't know Minnesota had their own version of the Three Stooges. My apologies to the originals.

Answer this question Sarah Palin has shown everything in Alaska

but the natives of Alaska. Where are they?

Also John McCain talks about the war ALL THE TIME like thats all he knows.He didn't win the war single handed. He was captured and didn't have time to do anything. He begged to come back to the United States not asked. He hasan't said anything about what he is giong to do about the economy. Healthcare, mothers, what he's going to tackle first. He nor Sarah Palin has addressed these issues yet. WHY? And another thing out of all the publicity she has had we still don't know who she is.

whymot....

Anyone who can see Russia from Alabama has some pretty keen eyesight; quite capable of seeing the lay-of-the-land. Clearly worthy of a VP slot...

Dear my fellow Americans.

Please be sure not to make mistake in next election on the

on the conrner. our country is slipping from our hands.

Mr. Obaaaama made already made his choice clear, he chose

defeat in Iraq and Afganistan, rather than victory. defeat

has only meaning: which is victory for Al-Qaida and Iran.

also, it is victory for Ahmed Najad, Osama ben laden and

and Obaaaaaaaaaama.

let us not begin to travel a road to desruction, which the

Ex- Super power Soviet Union, when they self defeated in this

Afganistan by withdrawing without victory, begining of their

destruction. Turning tail in the face of enemy. We are now

complaining the economic difficults we had right now but what

about if lost our Global economic intersets by running away

from battles. there is many countries like China and Russia

are ready to take that oppertunity to fill the positions and

protect and get advantage if we are not able to do.

Actually do get polled, this is a canard left over from '04, how did that work out for them then? Besides, the cell phone kids only vote if they can text it to IDOLS08.
