How do you even know what my opinion is? I never stated an opinon, I stated a situation that is plausible... (still deserved the reps from your other comment though. *smile*)

Look....bottom line is this.....Obama talks a great game sure, but look at his tract record.....not so great. Look at his facts, he hasn't done anything and everything he talks about is just that.....talk....he has no grounds to stand on besides his slick, sleezy promises that I guarantee you we will never see. He is a smooth talker and that's why he's so popular but OMG is everyone so blind to the real him??? Look at his church for example.....I don't care who you are, when you go to church it's because you want to learn and adapt to that lifestyle right???? Well geez louise but I'm sorry I totally think his church is scary and that says a lot about a person.

He's just scary and his running mate is just as scary....and if they get elected America will be scary.
Still waiting on those facts.....................

So 50% of the country believes man and dinosaur walked the earth together, that witchcraft is something to pray for protection from, that seeing russia from your house gives you foreign policy experience, that not being able to name one newspaper you read is a trick question, that you can not be in charge of your own body that the government should be, and that having an education and intelligence makes you elite and that is not a trait sought after in the highest office in the nation?

This is scary stuff, she makes me sick and so does anyone who thinks she is fit to be president let alone vice president.

She lied about the bridge to nowhere and selling that plane on e-bay in her acceptance speech! Not just in some casual conversation, but her acceptance speech. And the repubs thought it was a fabulous speech; "hit one out of the park" is how a co-worker of mine described it the next day. Yeah, and a couple of lies.

Look....bottom line is this.....Obama talks a great game sure, but look at his tract record.....not so great. Look at his facts, he hasn't done anything and everything he talks about is just that.....talk....he has no grounds to stand on besides his slick, sleezy promises that I guarantee you we will never see.

Look at Sarah's church. Speaking in tongues? Protection from witchcraft? If we are going to judge people by their churches, she doesn't rate too highly either.

Oh, no he wasn't less qualified than Sarah. I already posted about this before, am not going to do a search, but anyone else can. I didn't like him, either, but he was way more qualified, hands down. He was a sitting senator at the time.
Vice presidents are irrelevant and always have been. I believe that anyone who has a problem with Palin simply has a problem with her values not her depth or perceived lack there of. The right love her becuse she speaks their values, the left hate her because she stands for all they disagree with. This divide in not negotiable in most people's minds and there in lies the problem. This country is split between two basic moral outlooks and will remain that way for the forseeable future. No one is going to ever convince me or other right thinking people the left is correct on anything nor do I expect I will convince left thinking people to change their way of thinking. The two mind sets are polar opposites and in this case opposites do not attract to one another. We can all just agree to disagree and leave each other to his own philosophy regardless of how disgusting we believe the other's more's are or we will end up in a real civil war over it. No one wants that. We must learn to live together in a world of compromise or this country will cease to exist. No one has the correct answer to all of the country's problems...no one. No matter who wins the election 50% of the population is going to be disappointed. Just ask any Democrat how they have felt for the last two election cycles.
I suspect Obama will win. Not because he is a great statesman or because he's black, or a great orator but because he is not a Republican. After Bush I don't blame anyone for voting with the Dems this time. Do I like the idea ?? No but I will learn to live with it and respect the will of the majority of the people. I would expect no less from the other side should McCain and Palin win.

There you go again! (Just like Sarah, trying to be the incarnation of Ronald Reagan.) Let's not dwell on the past. That's what Sarah said last night, after all.

I believe in a temporary safety net for people out of work to help them until they find work again.
I believe in limited immigration and that people coming here should apply and be accepted based on assimilation (not losing their identity) and knowlege of the history of the USA.
I believe English is the first languiage of the USA and should be taught before any other language.
I do not believe in gay marriage but I do agree Gays have a right to have their relationships recognized legally as a legitimate partnership for property, child guardianship, and probate purposes.
I believe in freedom of religion but disagree with anyone coming to my home to sell their religion to me.
I believe the war in Iraq was necessary up to the point when Saadam Hussein was captured then we should have come home.
I do not believe Washington should use taxpayers money to bail out bad banking decisions.
I do not believe loans should be made to people who do not have the means to repay them.
I believe taxes are high enough and the government should spend time paring down unecessary programs to save money.
I believe both Creationism and Darwinism should be taught as neither one has been proven beyond doubt.
I believe in the Constitution and all of it's ammendments including the second ammendment.
I believe news reporting should not be biased.
I believe we did land on the moon in 1969.

Am I conservative or liberal...or perhaps moderate???
I agree with most of what you said. Not about Hussein though, he was an operative for the US for many years. He was a distraction from the real issue which was the Taliban.
I agree with the right to bare arms, however, I DO think high powered weapons MUST not be leagal and should be off the streets.
Everyone in the media is biased. Sucks, but it seems that way. Some more than others.

Like the savings and loans scandal in the 80's.

Being a champion de-regulator (until two weeks ago).

All great stuff - I get your point.
