It's not that we're responding to personal bias, freedom. Although this topic and surely this thread is on Sarah Palin, I have not seen many people question the morals and ethics of John McCain. Interestingly enough, if we really wanted to we could do that but he has solidified himself by his long stretch in Congress to be a fairly admirable man and despite his gambling problems (look it up if you don't believe me - and, no, it's not "spin") we could rail around and scream about how immoral and unethical he is but that doesn't really net us anything because I don't think people are really going to question the man after his long tenure of rather admirable Senatorial service - I will give him that much. It seems that it's the ultra-Conservatives most deeply concerned that anything other than literal Bibliocracy translates into true morals.
On the other hand, we have Sarah Palin, who I don't feel should have to answer for her children. If I remember correctly, wasn't Reagan's daughter in Playboy?? But aside from that, what I don't appreciate is everyone gathering around Sarah Palin's "abstinence only" program despite the fact that it obviously didn't work in her family. That's like going SCUBA diving with an empty tank and insisting that it'll assist you in breathing. Other than that, I fail to see how you can just "have a feeling" about this woman based on the fact that she has been more elusive than Bigfoot when she answers questions. Forgive me for sounding terse, but I would think that even the densest of people could see that she has a very difficult time properly answering questions because she's obviously ill qualified for the position and potential positions at hand.
Don't get me wrong, perhaps in four years after she undergoes a wonderful tutelage and instruction at the hands of someone very knowledgeable in world affairs, economies, etc... than she may make a better candidate. But how anyone could honestly look at the woman and say she would make a great President based on evasive answers heavily gravitated towards non-intellectual if not even downright stupid than I have to sit here and wonder just how dense people in this country can be.
I think it will be a matter of months not years, once she is in office and has her bearings we are going to see great things from her.
I have not, nor have most others, suggested that Palin is morally corrupt or of low character. I can think of no data, or at least very little data, that would allow any assessment of those things. But about her intelligence we have considerable data. We have her education record (poor) and we have by now a growing body of recorded responses to questions that reveal an alarming lack of knowledge and a quickness of thought that is something less than cheetah-like. When we say that she is dim bulb or a dunce, we don't mean relative to the national population. Hey, she can read. We mean, relative to aspirants for high office. And on that scale, yes, the data suggest she is somewhere in the dunce range.
Well maybe that's why i like her, she didn't take memorization education seriously.
They gave me a high school diploma but i didn't earn it, they just didn't want me back. So maybe Sarah and i are kindred spirits.
As to intelligence; I've known to many college graduates that can't tie their shoe laces, but can site every useless fact known to man. I wouldn't want to rely on them in a survival situation.
Sarah's lack of fluidity in interviews is more closely related to brain lock, than stupidity. It takes a little time to be comfortable on the world stage and she has had all of about 4 weeks to prepare. I think she's doing pretty good under the circumstances, and the magnification of liberal gotcha games.

And you bring up Bill Clinton again. God Bless him, as you guys like to say. Give me Bill Clinton any day.
Clinton's presidency was great because he had a Conservative House and Senate to create the prosperity we all enjoyed.
See what happens when a majority liberal house and senate takes us....
godspeed,
Shooting animals from the air is not hunting. It is sadistic slaughter.
I thought you were an athiest? Whats with the sadistic speak....
Look, according to the evolutionists, we all evolved according to survival of the fistest, so man invents machines in order to dominate and evolutionists have a problem with it????
Besides making that comment without backround is rediculous, the killing is being done in the framework of culling... just like other animals cull the herd, or their own.
Just like Sarah will cull the liberal politicians from the house and senate as the American people start to understand what McCain and Sarah can do.

Depends on the circumstances. I really don't think the chopper is the issue, there are many other ways to hunt animals, it sounds like the chopper was chosen to be the most efficient to the task, though i am only guessing, because the one that posted the problem with it, didn't say anything else, so i don't have all of the info necessary to make a fair judgement.
Freedom, I have you twitted, but someone else quoted you.
I've been vegetarian for decades.
I don't believe in killing animals, for any reason.
I certainly don't believe in senseless slaughter, of course, you, and caribou-barbie, apparently do.
I see your bad spelling, even with a spell check option, hasn't evolved.
BTW, a great many evolutionists as you use the term to denigrate them, are scientists.
Obviously, since you don't believe in science, you don't go to the doctor or dentist, because they're ungodly or some such nonsense.
Or are your beliefs dependent on how they affect you and what you want to do?
Somewhat hypocritical, don't you think?
Don't worry chielgirl people are entitled to wallow In their own Ignorance, and yes, freedoms spelling Is atrocious " survival of the fistest " but should'nt mock.

godspeed,
freedom
So tell me... What are some of these great things that we are going to see from her? Where does she stand on pretty much anything other than abortion, gay marriage, and religious values? Should she become Vice-President, and I cringe to say it, President, what are her thoughts on how to handle the economic crisis that we are currently undergoing? How is she going to handle the Iraq War? What are her ideals on health care, welfare, social security, illegal immigration, education, international affairs, and just about any other issue that might pop up in her tenure as either Vice President or President?
Now, in all honesty, I think that it doesn't take too long to think about it to realize that the majority of the people who jumped on the John McCain bandwagon after her being named did so simply because she was a pretty face with down home values and went to church. They didn't weigh the issues, they didn't even understand what she stood for. All they knew was that they wanted the wool pulled over their eyes by a bright, shiny, face and that's what they got. If that's what you call responsible "voting" and if you can honestly sit here and tell me that you feel she would make a nominal President or Vice President based on all of the issues she's done more dancing around than Fred Astaire than I have to wonder if you're not one of those people who was gleefully blindfolded when her name was announced and refuses to admit that she is just a pathetic and impotent excuse for a Vice-President and an even more hopeless possible President.
