From the interviews Iâ€™ve observed Governor Palin seems to be the perfect “White House Stanford-Wife”. Governor Palin has the perfect way of agreeing with the majority of what Mc Cain says without interjecting any original thought or her own.
With that said:
The American people seem to forget, the office of President is ideally run by the People. â€œWe, the Peopleâ€ will need to become more involved in Local, State and Federal Government to make a substantial change in any Executive decision made by one person the People place in office.

Woahhhhhhhhh….I was going off what you said only and it clearly gives the illusion as if those were your own words. He never titles me as a conservative moron, so that statement wasn’t something I could reference back to him saying. Keep in mind, I don’t know you, don’t know your extent of sarcasm or what tone was being implied when you wrote. Thanks for clearing it all up in such an understanding way, though. You seem like a total sweetheart.

Kristin – Can you read? Really? Where exactly were YOU referred to as a conservitive? My point was simply that no matter what anyone thinks about anything, if Skunky Lunch does not agree, you are automatically a “conservative moron”. Sorry you missed the point Einstein, must have been over your head.

Snowdevil….

I’m in no way considering myself conservative on every issue, so please obtain some maturity and quit the name calling. Simply put, I don’t think Obama has NEAR enough experience or credibility to be president.

Obama appeals to many Americans, because of his ability to speak well to large audiences, and hype America up with ideas of, “hope,” “change” & “progress.” If all it takes is an individual with excellent communication skills and a teleprompter, I’m going to consider running next term.

Kristin – I was thinking the same thing about Honkey Crunch. If you pay attention to all of his (?) posts, you will become aware that he has been everywhere, seen everything, knows everyone and has some uncanny ability to have had all human experiences possible, and for God’s sake….Don’t you dare question his intelligence! One more thing: never forget that no matter what you may disagree with him on, YOU are the “conservative moron”.

Hey Look what I found…. someone who tried and had a helluva time diagramming her sentences. This article is just hilarious!

seriously, can anyone diagram this sentence:

And there are — those issues, again, like Roe v Wade where I believe are best held on a state level and addressed there.

p.s. to those of you who go on and on about how intelligent, great, wonderful (insert any other positive adjective you’d like here) sarah palin is, you’re just showing what your own limitations are. This is a serious matter. This presidential race has widespread consequences – far, far beyond our borders. Her downhome perspective may be cute and heartwarming to some of you, but to those of us who are well-informed, critical and discerning, it is just plain xenophobic, narrow-minded and downright stupid.

Hey, Donkey. Here’s where she was asked about the morning after pill. It’s like three entries back on Beet’s blog.

Couric: And so you donâ€™t believe in the morning-after pill?

Palin: â€¦ I would like to see fewer and fewer abortions in this world. And again, I havenâ€™t spoken with anyone who disagrees with my position on that.

Couric: Iâ€™m sorry, I just want to ask you again. Do you not support or do you condone or condemn the morning-after pill.

Palin: Personally, and this isnâ€™t McCain-Palin policy â€¦

Couric: No, thatâ€™s OK, Iâ€™m just asking you.

Palin: But personally, I would not choose to participate in that kind of contraception.

.anne.-
You are right. People are harsher on Republicans because of Bush. He is a Republican. He ran on the Republican ticket and was lauded by Republicans everywhere! This trickle down Reagan economics pushed by Republicans is what we are seeing now doesn’t work. If you mess up for 8 years, most people in the country aren’t going to reward you with another 4. And that’s pretty much the way things are looking. If it weren’t for some subtle racism, Obama would be way ahead (or more ahead than he is now- those polls are looking gooood). And before everyone jumps on me for saying that, I am not referring to Republicans. I am referring to a lot of blue collar dems and indies who are not comfortable voting for a black man.

And Kristin- there are CBS aides who have desribed parts of the interview which have been cut out. Apparently she’s asked to name one major decision by the Supreme Court other than Roe v. Wade and she just sits silent. That has been cut out, I presume to make her look better.

The fact is, John McCain did not vet Sarah Palin, so the media is doing it for him. It’s politics. It’s not sexism or lefty elitist favoritism (do you think the media has been unfair to John McCain? I think they have been quite favorable to him). The country deserves to know who Sarah Palin is and what she stands for. If she is ignorant of government, we should know. If she can’t name a major news publication, we should know. If her views on Pakistan differ with John McCain, we should know. If she thinks living next to Russia is the same as having a foreign policy, we should know. If she wants to force rape victims to have babies, we should know. It’s our right as American citizens.

Also, I don’t believe she’s being criticized for her faith in God. Obama himself is a Christian and Joe Biden is a practicing Catholic. It’s when you mix your religion with politics that you start getting into tricky territory. Sarah Palin can love God as much as she wants, more power to her! But the minute she uses HER interpretation of the Bible to make laws about my uterus or what my kids should learn in a science class, or who my gay friends should love and marry (or enter into a civil union), I stop being so rah rah about it.

.anne.:

Along with being governor of New Mexico, Bill Richardson:

Spent 14 years as a member of the US House of Representatives
Was the US Ambassador to the UN
Was the US Secretary of Energy
Negotiated one-on-one with Sadam Hussein the release of American hostages in Iraq

So, I can see what you mean about him having “about as much experience” as Sarah Palin.

Hyatt Riot–

Interesting. “People want to do interviews with her because she’s a woman.” That logic must only mean that, Obama is getting interviews left and right with Couric, simply based on the fact that he is black. I’ve seen the interview with Obama and Couric, and Katie can do nothing except smile, ask him about his favorite movies, NOT cut him off when he rambles off five of his favorite flicks, when she only asked for one. All Palin gets is stern looks and being cut off. And you really think the media, or CBS in particular is un-biased. Wake up, please.
