I am really discussed with the media reporting. I don't feel that I am getting accurate reporting and it is unfair reporting, Are they picking on Palin because she is a women? Why is she not qualified to be president when Clinton and Bush seemed to be with their experience as governors? I have never been more concerned about our country. I am 74 years old and cannot seem to get my questions answered. Was Obama born in the U.S. or not and was he ever a citizen of another country when living with his stepfather?

We are very proud to have Sarah Palin as a Vice President canidate. She is truly a woman to be admired. We are sick of the attacks on her and her family by the media. Why do we hear nothing about all the radical comments by Michelle Obama and the stupid remarks by Joe Biden. Then you have a Democratic canidate with no experience and a shaky past. People need to think long and hard before they open that can of worms. What happened to fair and balanced elections? Why do the Democrats think they have to cheat with Acorn to get elected. Shame on them.

Her beauty pageant resume and bachelor's degree that took her six years to earn bouncing around between five different schools have prepared her perfectly well for what the Republicans want her to do: deliver their divisive and sarcastic propaganda (written by middle-aged white men) with a warm, "real" woman smile. What in the world has happened in this country? We choose pure, unapologetic surface over any measurable substance whatsoever. And that strategy actually has a chance to succeed. I pray the American people are as intelligent as I think they are and will judge candidates on the issues, not on their ability to deliver snipe-y commentary with a grin. "God help us" is the line the Republicans should have delivered after every RNC speech, not "God bless you."

I am a firm believer in a strong start on cleaning political corruption in D.C. has and will start Nov. 4th.

Until recentley I considered myself a libertarian. Which meant for me that I would vote for the most intelligent person to lead our country no matter what the party. I listened to Palin speak and she sounds like a cocky, snotty, know it all that doesn't even have the brains to know how short she falls of knowing anything at all. I supported Hillary, so it has nothing to do with her gender, it has to do with her graciousness, intelligence, and attitude. Of which she has none of the above. Can you imagine if something happened to McCain and she was our president trying to reason with the many countries who think of women as dirt? She will get on her high horse and they will be a nuclear war! Think about it. She sounds like a narcissistic hot head to me. If I had been her and cared anything about the republican party, she should have thanked him and declined with all of the skeletons in her closet not to mention a newborn baby with special needs that she should be focusing on.

It would be fun to watch she and Hillary in a debate. Hill would wipe that smirk right off of her uneducated face.

Seems that Sarah should start putting "family first" instead of country first. Who cares for her young down's son? Where was she when her 17 year old daughter could have used the "birth control" chat?

Sarah...

I hope you don't get to make choices for MY family.

To all "left-wing-liberals" - Obama aupporters:

Wake up America - do not vote for Obama bin Biden!!!!!!

If Obama bin Biden gets that "3:00 am call" he will pass it on to the ...United Nations!

Yeapppppp! Is that what you want America???!!!

A breath of fresh air indeed! I am a woman and will vote for her not just because she is a woman but because I believe that she has the guts and the smarts to shake up some Washington "empty suits". And, there are plenty of them!

Go Saraaaaaah! And do not worry about the rhetoric that you are not ready to be "Commander in Chief".... Obama is running for that position and does not have any executive experience or your guts to cross partylines. He accuses Senator McCain for having voted 95% of the time with the Republicans but what Obama is not telling us is that he has voted 97% of the time with his buddies the Democrats.

Obama speaks of all these "miracles" that he will perform once elected but he has failed - for a year now - to tell us how he is going to pay for it! I do not know how on earth he will reduce taxes for 95% of Americans as he promises and pay for the rest of his "miracle change" whithout blowing up the national deficit to quadrillions!!! All his speeches (rhetoric) sure sound impressive however he is not telling us something that we have never heard before by every politician who rans for President! Have you not heard any candidate in the past not promising good schools, good roads, more money in your pocket, less crime on the streets? Hey, we have heard it before!

Do not be afraid of the Washington status quo Sarah Palin! They will attack you plenty but that is because they are worried that you will shake things up! Trust me, they are not really worried about what will happen to the country if you have to become Commander in Chief should something tragic happen... 90% of Washingtom politicians do not even know what the Truman Doctrine was - let alone being experts for example in Eastern European geopolitical issues! Is anybody trying to tell us that all previous Presidents had a degree in Political Science or Foreign Relations? Yeah sure...I am going to laugh!

We need a hands on "outsider" to shake up Washington. The National Security and safety of our country first requires a real "patriot" in office with great judgement, who will surround herself with an excellent team. Sarah Palin is a true patriot, she has demonstrated excellent judgement during her career, and she has the guts to bring real change!!!!!!

Wake up America - do not vote for Obama Bin Biden!

If Obama bin Biden answers that "3:00 AM call to the White House" he would forward it to...the United Nations!!!!

Is this what you want America?

Do not vote left-eing-liberal Obama bin Biden to be our next Commander in Chief. It took 3 statements by him to kind of condemn (he still did not even come close to it) Russia for invading a democratic and sovereign country....

And, this while Senator McCain, Senator Clinton, our government, and ALL our allies - blasted Russia's invasion of Georgia! Even China turned its back to Russia on the Georgia issue despite the fact that the Russian leaders - Medvedev (Putin's hand picked puppet) and Putin himself were courting China's support on the Georgia conflict!! Ha-ha!

Go McCain-Palin '08 :-)
