No doubt about it. Google and look at what she writes. Does anyone care she went to HIGH SCHOOL with Palin THIRTY YEARS AGO?!? Some insight, hah!

Are all Political Science professors left wing? Any reason to think that a person who actually spent some time around Sarah might know her better than watching her prepared sound bites? Aren't you a little concerned that she cannot answer a question unless she knows it ahead of time? With McCain's age this is way too important to the put to the side. Good grief she could be president some day!

Sam,
Come on now. How can you pass up a dare that is SO doable? It is substantive too! You must be smart ... that is why you are quick to judge a person (Dr. Kuersten) without even investigating. Are you a tabloid writer or an investigative journalist?
Kuersten vs. ?
You have the option. Make it happen. It might just give YOU an additional 15 minutes of fame.

In response to AUDREY of California******Sarah Palin talks about the sanctity of life but loves to kill moose, wolves, troops, and women with health problems, those with a fetus with brain outside the skull or organs outside the body, or women who have been raped or victims of invest. She is too bound up in religious ideas that are not acceptable to many to serve our whole country well. I am a Republican woman and think she is too narrow minded to serve us well, especially since McCain has had four melanomas which doctors say lead to subsequent tumors.******
AUDREY, What women has Palin killed? What source can you produce that suggests that she has killed a fetus? a rape victim? As far as killing Bullwinkle and the other critters; Do you not eat hamburgers, steaks, chicken, bacon? You can't attack someone for the same thing that you take part in. Maybe you didn't kill the cow, chicken or pig, but you are taking part in the aftermoth.If you don't eat meat, then I apologize. Do you not want someone in the White House who has strong Christian values? Do you not wish for a public servant to have a strong moral standing? And please, please, for the Love of God, explain to me the importance of Sen. McCain's melanomas to Gov. Palin's ability to servce our country.

One fact remains--even if she were pro-choice, she'd still be unqualified to be president, and I don't know anyone who would think to vote Republican if she were pro-choice. Alaska is a welfare state, sending a check to ALL 600,000 of its citizens. As mayor of Wasilla her duties of a real and practical nature are performed by the present mayor in a couple of hours a week. If she was such a "reformer" what about Sen. Ted Stevens?
She didn't go after him--maybe it was all the pork he brought home to Alaska. . .. And speaking at the convention of that Alaska secessionist party--that makes her a traitor in my book!

Why won't Sarah Palin release her medical records. Is she trying to hide something? What is the big deal about this?

James of NC is a fool. Don't waste your time dealing with him.

Therefore, Cheney's extensive involvement in executive branch functions is unconstitutional?

Errr as opposed to Joe Biden who didn't know the VP was part of the legislative branch, and erroneously claimed Article I of the Constitution outlined the VP powers of the VP as belonging only in the executive branch, and claimed the VP had no authority in the Senate.
Sarah Palin had a few weeks to prepare for the debate - Joe Biden has been preparing for YEARS. (which is a four-letter word according to Biden's math) Palin is a quick study smart and articulate. Biden just makes crap up like that a drunk killed his wife and child. The man is such a scumbag he slimes the truck driver (who was not drunk) and uses the tragic accident that killed his wife and child for political pity.
I'll be Palin knew Russia sits on the UN Security Council and gets a veto - King Barack didn't.

Seven weeks ago Dealey asserted that Palin had core principles that transcended experience, and would be a solid foundation for a future leader. A majority of Americans have seen nothing to give them such confidence, and senior advisors to McCain are now describing Palin in stronger terms than her detractors were. These "core principles" appear to be rather bogus.
Are you still in, Dealey? Go for it! She's your new front runner for '12.
BTW, Millie is absolutely right that a VP can not legislate with senators, as anyone who can read the Constitution knows.
