Sarah Palin Was as Bad as We Thought

Bonnie, your bigotry is only matched by your misguided belief that you actually have an opinion that matters. I could provide the usual hate twitters that you gleefully evoke from the right-wing kooks, however, as you know it's a waste of time to think that a biased liberal, such as yourself, holds any compassion, let alone any possibility of serious contemplation to any conservative doctrine. You and the rest of your PBS ilk (and supporters of serfdom) are truly the current hate-filled promoters of the soft-tyranny that's overtaking the USA. Someday soon, when the governmenet has control of most every aspect of the freedoms we once enjoyed (plus control of all your money...Oops, I mean "the people's" money) you just may have regret for unwavering support of such tryanny as found in the current party of the Democrats.

I agree, we should stop the character assassination of Palin and McCain and start concentrating on how we're going to get out of this mess. Do you realize that the U.S. government owes $2.67 trillion dollars? That represents 20% of our GDP. We owe China, $541 billion— up from $61.5 billion in 2001 — a 9-fold increase. We owe Russia $74.4 billion — up from $10 billion in 2001— a 7-fold increase. We owe Japan, $585.9 billion; United Kingdom, $307.4 billion; OPEC nations, $179.8 billion; Caribbean banking centers, $147.7 billion.

It seems we need to go to a pay-as-you-go system which is a lot better than borrowing up to our eyeballs. Look what the Republican administration and the greedy Wall Streeters have saddled the next generation with. I think we need to be prepared to pay some taxes now and if we had payed some as we went along we wouldn't have this huge debt. Paying for what you get as you go like most Americans, would keep the budget balanced. I never have understood the wisdom or lack of it of borrowing instead of paying for it as you go. How about sending a bill to Iraq for them to pitch in and spend the $80 billion they have stashed. That would take care of about 8 months that we are spending $10 billion a month.

The debt ceiling has been moved upward three times during the Bush administration and it is now at $10 trillion.

Fine all those who got big CEO balloon deals and get the money back from them. Get the oil companies to invest some of their tremendous profits in alternative energy Wind Farms and Nuclear Plants and refineries. If everybody that ripped off the American tax payer was made to forfeit their big profits, we could start crawling out of the whole they have dumped us in.

The Bush administration has lied to the American people time and time again. When are you people going to understand that. Cheney has led us down the wrong path. I am so tired of hearing that he is a born again Christian — that would turn me off right there if that is the example. Quit drinking the kool-aid and think for yourself. I voted against every incumbent that was running. How about you? Throw all the bums out during the next election and in two more cycles, we could get rid of a bunch of the professional govt. people.

This political choice...was just that...a political choice. Gov. Palin should have gave the offer to run more critical thought. She allowed herself to be used...due to her own blind ambition. She did not have the breadth of knowledge nor the experience needed to become VP of this United States. I agree it is cowardly of the McCain staffers to do what they are doing...but I reiterate what others have said. She did this to herself and NEVER deserved to be seriously considered. Thank you Bonnie for calling it as you see it...Couric questions trickery...I AM CRACKING UP AT THAT ONE!!!

I think that it's obvious who Palin is (and was) and that, unfortunately, now we get to hear the truth, ad nauseum. And women, really, don't kill the messenger who simply speaks the truth. Bonnie is not showing any great revelatory powers here--she merely speaks the obvious.

I would just like for Palin to go silently into the night. To think that we would have to deal with her in the future is, well, nauseating. I would be greatly surprised if she were somehow able to grow beyond her seemingly acceptance of her ignorance. And to those who want to see her to anything for the republican party in the future other than being quiet, I really question your grasp of reality. She was a disaster, not just to your party, but to women in general. For all who have fought for our place at the table, she was a sad misrepresentation of the "successful" woman and a setback to our ascent into the political arena.
