I think she made the right choice. A lot of people would have stayed on, as a "lame duck" and continued to pursue other things.
I was referring to acts she committed while governor.

To imply that Sarah was "the better person" because she quit is funny, though she probably did do the state of Alaska a big favor. You see that our posters from AK say she has lost a lot of cred. It is not common to resign one's seat in politics, and it is not considered a good thing to do.

I'd really love to hear what Barack and Michelle Obama call whites in private. I can almost guarantee it would make your delicate little ears smoke.

Everyone is so hung up on what they percieve to be a racist word here and there, but are missing the big picture - that the Obamas and their radical cronies hate (white) America and everything it stands for. They are determined to reverse what they deem "unfairness" in the system. The new "fairness" in their eyes would attempt to put wealth and power in the hands of the lowest rungs of society - those that have done nothing to earn it or to better their own lot in life, but who will blindly follow a radical agenda if it means getting something for nothing. The followers of the community organizer & the ultimate racism.

I was not the biggest fan of Palin, but am certain that she would govern with respect for the Constitution and the American people. Under a Palin administration we wouldn't have to worry about losing any freedoms. She certainly wouldn't be cozy with self-proclaimed communists, marxists, socialists & felons like Mark Lloyd and Van Jones, whose only goals are to restrict, defeat and deny those freedoms. She has shown respect and support for our military, unlike Obama, whose desire for a strong, equally funded civilian security force absolutely reeks of the intent to oppress any dissention.

Smaller government, lower taxes, strong military and respect for the Rule of Law. Add to that, the eviction from public office of anyone that doesn't have the best interests of the American people, all the American people, at heart.

Doesn't sound like a bad trade.

The obvious difference is that no one really believes Obama didn't know there are 50 states. (other than rwing nut jobs the same people who believe the President is an illegal alien) Most people understand that Palin really is that ignorant. The McCain campaign thought she was ignorant too. That is why they kept her quiet as long as they could. As soon as Palin opened her mouth in the Katy Couric interview, McCain/Palins approvals started to tank.

Seriously. Obama's mother was white, and Michelle's brother is married to a white woman.

.
I disagree. And while I don't give a rat's ass what the President and his wife talk about in private, I'd make book on it not making my ears smoke.

The Palien has proven herself to be a racist pig in certain statements and suggested policy concerning the Native people of Alaska. The situation last winter up along the Yukon certainly exemplified that.

About not being cozy with commies...come on. Who do you think makes it possible for some of the rural residents in this state to stay warm in the winter? The most oil rich state in the nation also has the highest heating oil costs. Guess who funds a large part of those costs.

Yeah, ok crazy lady.

They were both simply gaffes and I'm sure both know the correct answer. That you are so blindly partisan comes as no surprise.

oh btw, what part of okccowBOY confuses you? "crazy lady" lolol


If they were just "gaffes" as you put it what about the rest of the questions asked of Palin and she did not know the answers for them either? Like who are the members of NAFTA? There's only 3 for god's sake. That is no gaffe that is a lack of intellectual curiosity and ignorance of political issues. This from someone who wanted to be first in line to the Presidency?!

Nonetheless, he was quite right.

How was she right when she tried to completely overlook one and bash the other person for the other one?

They were both gaffes but when you try your hardest (i.e. a whole paragraph) just to make one seem like an accident while the other one not, then you lose credibility (only if you had any to begin with)

Not confused at all. Its obvious you are a very confused individual and I just assumed you were going through PMS or something. Acting as emotional as you are.
