What Would Thomas Jefferson Think of Sarah Palin?

All this hype about Global Warming is... downright funny. How do you explain the end of the ice age, millions of years before Homo Sapien graced the planet? Saber toothed tigers driving SUV's? And what about the 3 ice ages prior to that? It's a cycle. We have charts from core ice samples to back up the data. Al Gore thinks the sky is falling. So tell him to park his jet and stop contributing to the problem he thinks is man made.

Go Sarah! You are sufficiently qualified to represent me. I trust you with my $401k more than those Washington Insiders.

Troopergate, and a whole string of scandals, were agitated by (if not launched by) one of the men who ran against her in the 2006 election. I'm not going to name names, but he might be renting cars in the family business (hint, hint)

I cannot believe, in 2008, the sexism that has shown its ugly face in this election. It's shameful. And as far as Palin's skills for the position, it seems to be somewhat commensurate with Mr. Obama's, doesn't it???

How ignorant do you have to be to spout the stuff you people are saying on here????? Ignorance believes that humans aren't contributing to global warming...that its god's word to have a pipeline built....again and again. The GOP must really think its constenquency are idiots...

You have exposed yourself as a Socialist. You have already convicted Palin. “one step away from being a felon.” YOU are one step away from being a felon, too. That step is called a CONVICTION. It is fine if you want to support Socialistic ideas… it is your right in this great country but don’t pretend you are not. Just admit your dislike of Palin has nothing to do with her (fully qualified) experience; it has to do with YOUR fear that she will expose the liberal mantra as bogus.

Troopergate should be called Tazergate.

And Obama has been called out by Iraqi leaders that while Obama was in Iraq, Obama tried to stall withdrawal of American troops from Iraq while publicly calling for quicker troop withdrawal. One: This is Obama lying to his base as well as the American people. Two: He directly tried to influence American foreign policy without authorization violating Logan Act which the penalty involves up to a three years in prison.

Obama is an unaccomplished junior senator who cannot be trusted witht the security of this country.

Salin Palin has done nothing wrong but her opposition wants to create some type of scandal around her to place doubts to voters.

This woman is 1 step away from being a felon, now she is trying to get Trooper gate thrown out. I wonder If I rob a bank I could get that thrown out. I am not sure what happens in AL when you break the law, but when you break the law here you go to jail. Getting it thrown out is only an admission to your guilt. I still cannot believe someone under investigation was selected for VP. This is a joke. Not to mention your ZERO skills for the position.

It is interesting to see that just because Obama has been on the campaign trail that the media claims that he has been vetted?

Do the American people know that his is friends with an unrepentant terrorist named Bill Ayers. Bill Ayers is a man who has bombed the capital, poice stations, and other federal buildings. Obama kicked off his political career in Ayers home.

Yes, Obama did go to an Ivy League school but his education was financed by a radical Muslim named Khalid Al-Monsour.

Also, on national security issues... we have now found out that when Obama went to Iraq he tried to persuade the Iraqi leaders to delay withdrawal of American troops until the election is over and at the same time he was and is publically calling for immediate withdrawal of troops. One one hand this is a violation of the Logan Act but just as importantly he has been caught lying to his own party as well as his base.

Obama has voted to the left of NARAL and other ardent Pro-Choice defenders when he voted against the bill that was identical to the one passed 98-0 in the United States Senate, where he voted to deny giving medical assistance to a baby born alive after a botched abortion?

The main stream media has not covered anything on Obama over the last two year that he has been running?

Maybe we should wonder what Jefferson would think of a man like Obama.

She has been a Mayor and a governor. I think it is ok for her to aspire to the office of vice president.

I don't see what all the fuss is about.I am sure the founding fathers would be proud of her.

Some time I wonder if you are on the payroll of Barack Obama. Try and be objective in your writing.
