How many of the students in those colleges are Bostonians?

Hmm, well no nonsense, am I running for political office?


Obama, may I remind you, is running for President. Sarah Palin is running for VP.
Right, and your point?

Here we go again with the same old Democrat lie about the war. Get over it!

Sorry to burst your bubble here, but this has been entirely caused by the Democrats in charge of Freddy and Fanny. There are no Republicans involved in this scandal. Zip, Zero, Nada. Chris Dodd is at the top of the list, as are Barney Frank and Chuck Schumer. Many other Democrats also involved. They reaped millions in sweetheart deals, etc.

We can lay this directly at the feet of the Democrat Party. This is their scandal.

Again, you can't lay this one on Bush, though you people try. This has been blamed on the local politicians (mayor) and governor of the state. They are the major cause in the bad handling of the Katrina disaster. This is OLD NEWS. Get over it!

Please both Biden (and even McCain), kick Sarah Palins butt when it comes to goverment experience. The two have a combined total of Senate experience longer then Palin has been alive.
Too bad McCain's experience has turned into the wrong kind of experience lately.
What the heck difference does "combined experience" make? "Combined experience" means nothing!

Let's be real here: Palins experience is far more meaningful than Obama's. What has he done? Virtually nothing! He is a Junior Senator who hardly ever shows up to vote on anything.

He was a "community organizer" for one of the most corrupt organizations (ACORN) that has been involved in voter fraud in virtually every state.

And Palin is running for VP. Obama wants to be President!!! Give me a break!

There is no argument here. Palin wins hands down.

Actually, your point there, hmm.....lets ask Republican Tom Ridge who Obama is running against.

Okay, so we now know where you are coming from: You are a socialist. Thanks for letting us in on that little secret.

Surely, you are joking. Cult like? You just offended a few million Christians, and you don't even really know what her beliefs are. She is a Christian. Period! Is that what bothers you?

Oh, give me a break!!!! Ya know, they said things like that about John F. Kennedy (Catholic) when he was running for President.

You have not a clue what you are talking about. You are believing some story that was written about a prayer she led in church that was misquoted and totally taken out of context, and you don't care what the truth is, you are going to continue to spread the lie because it serves your agenda, which is to destroy Palin.

A happy ending depends on the conversion of the Jews (to Christianity). And that, to cut a long story very short, can only happen if the Jews are in possession of all the lands given to them by God."

The Guardian article went on to say: "In other words, these Christians are supporting Jews in order to abolish them."

Many Christian fundamentalists feel that concern for the future of our planet is irrelevant, because it has no future. They believe we are living in the End Time, when the son of God will return, the righteous will enter heaven, and sinners will be condemned to eternal hellfire. They may also believe, along with millions of other Christian fundamentalists, that environmental destruction is not only to be disregarded but actually welcomed - even hastened - as a sign of the coming Apocalypse.
Her religious beliefs also dicate that she be subserviant to her Church and her husband and will not make a decision or take a stance wihtout their approval. I do not want bumpkin Todd running the government either!

As for the barbaric aerial hunting of wolves...she is condoning and participating in this horrific ritual to eliminate the competition for moose meat. From what I hear, the price for the license to hunt moose is high enough for her to want to entice more people to apply for them. Get rid of the wolves and more licenses applied for...get it?

As for her qualifications, are you referring to the fact that she can see Russia from her porch? Oh yeah, I can see a hospital from my window, does this qualify me to perform heart surgery?

She's the perfect puppet for this administration and that's all!
Amazing.
