In one week??? That would be physically impossible.

OK.......why exactly would you dislike Palin immensely .....your words when she has only been on the national stage just a little over 7 days..........

Are you atune to something the rest of arent?
Im not being snarky but asking a legitimate question.

I watch NBC (CNBC, MSNBC) and CNN exclusively. The only objective one on CNN is Lou Dobbs and I haven't seen him in several weeks. That Cafferty guy makes me want to vomit.

That's funny. Everyone at CNN was salivating over her after her speech, so she has certainly received her fair share of praise there since her coming out. But it can't all be praise. CNN isn't Fox News.

They feel like she won't play ball. She came out swinging, but now won't give interviews. They're gonna go after that, regardless of who it is.

I think it is a little ridiculous for them to expect her to be fully briefed in less than a week and truth be told most of them are only interested in tripping her up and catching her making a mistake.

I dislike her religious values and her backward ideas like teaching Creationism at public schools, her fanatic, extreme pro-Life approach, her ideas on sex ed and contraception. Also, the fact that her daughter Bristol is pregnant shows that she is not a good parent at all, in a nutshell, she reminds me of one of those fanatics out of that movie "Jesus Camp", I abhor religious extremism in any form or shape.

Repubocrat - I feel exactly the same way. Religious extremism from other countries is the source of so many world conflicts. Why would it not be the same here, if we all became comfortable with the idea? I think Palin's ambition trumps all and any other considerations in her world, even family. Her lack of natural curiosity about the world, yet the arrogance of thinking she could govern a country in that world with such complex issues as the US's, is a scary scenario.

She is talking trash and making it about herself and her screwed up family.
