Sarah Palin for President?

[elder999]

You don't honestly think that the skeletons in her closet are disproportionately more than any other politician...do you?

No, not at all-though they may prove to be excessive for someone whose entire political career amounts to two terms as mayor for a town of less than 10,000, and two years as governor of a state that has a total population that is less than quite a few small cities.

....as opposed to a presidential candidate who has no executive experience and who's claim to fame is being a community organizer? ... Oh and turning on the women of "The View." LOL

That's not a dig towards Obama...just a friendly suggestion to keep things in perspective.

Obamoa has plenty of skeletons of his own.


If you're gonna get upset about something in this election, it should be the fact that you're told who you can vote for, and that those candidates you're told you can vote for are far from the best our country has to offer.

I think she'd be just as good as George Bush.
I mean, they both order their subordinates to not comply with legal orders.

Palin staff won't comply with subpoenas
Bush told ex-staff to ignore subpoena

If I did that, my *** would be behind bars.

sorry, i would have gotten back to this thread earlier, but i am still suffering post Ike internet issues.

Good luck!

The fact remains that this woman has been attacked far out of proportion to any previous vice presidential candidate.

Well, Dan Quayle might disagree...or Thomas Eagleton.

did anyone accuse Quayle of faking the birth of a child to cover up the fact it was actually thier grand-child??

Did the National Oraganization of Men come out and say Eagleton wasnt actually a man?

Yes, twins actually.

Yup, there was a lot of evidence supporting it, he was actually a mermaid.

“Next up, snippets of Governor Palin's interview for ABC.......(" I have foreign policy experience; I can see Russia from Alaska's islands!" )”

Thanks. I was surfing around the web yesterday on a borrowed computer while waiting for a job completion/delivery and found a site that had the actual transcripts of the ABC interview. It was interesting not only to read the Governors opinions and views but this site also bolded the parts of the interview that was edited out and not aired. It was interesting how the editing seemed to change some of the context and answers enough that I think that everyone on this thread with an open mind should read the actual transcript and again watch the interview differing themselves from the like of so many others (the word sheep has been used on MT before) that believe the sound bites and mass e-mailings from other sheep. Doing some research or trusting emails and ABC…one is work and might require you to challenge your belief and investments in your truths the other will allow you to feel good about yourself and superior to those that have opinions and views different from your own while reinforcing your truths even though it means that you will remain shallow and cheap.
Will reading the entire unedited transcript change your mind, I don’t know, depends how far up your politics your head is, but reading it will help with honest debate from both ends of the political spectrum.

Good luck

I think that Matt Damon brings up some very good points. Gov. Palin could very well be our next (next) President of the United States. Do you think she's up for the job?

Or does it even matter?

She's not qualified (REMOTELY) for the one she's has now, let alone the one she's applying for.

niether is the Obamasiah, but that aint stopping him......

 

[crushing]

I don't support McCain/Palin, but I do kind of see it the way this cartoonist draws it.

And correct me if Im wrong, but isnt he running for PRESIDENT?

 

[celtic_crippler]

What kind of reaction do you think this cartoon would have with Obama and Biden in it instead?

I say we all write "None of the Above" on all the ballots. That would be truely historic if it was possible.

I think things were better back when papers and radio were the primary medias. The way the "flicker box" appeals to our short attention span and instant gratification leanings has resulted in what we have here. IMO.

 

[Twin Fist]

no, i disagree

the problem is that all the journalists today were taught by radical hippy leftover professors

these people went to college during the 60's they see the press not as a tool of information, but as one for shaping society

so today, the vast majority of reporters are leftist, and less concerned with truth than they are a social agenda

Beware of the fabled goode olde days...... I believe that those with power were misusing during the yellow journalism era, too. There have been many questions, for example, as to who and what got us into war with Spain in 1898. Remember, too, that in the pre-Internet days, the Rather election scam with the bogus military papers would've worked.

Yes, citation please.

If true this would be all over the major news sites, yet I don't see it. Even Fox News's most recent story (today) claims to not know who it was. (http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/0...icked-yahoo-to-gain-password-to-palin-e-mail/)

What it does say is this:

Also circulating the Internet is an online confession signed with an e-mail address belonging to David Kernell, 20, from Memphis, Tenn. Kernell, a student at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville and described on various Web sites as a fan of chess and online gaming, is the son of Democratic state representative Mike Kernell.
Mike Kernell told FOX News that he wasn’t aware of any investigation of his son.

and even Fox isn't willing to pin any level of truth on a circulated email.

Now, let me make this clear. People that go to that much trouble to hide their identitiy, especially when doing something that is that high profile and illegal, and going to get a lot of resources blasted into investigating it, are not stupid enough to then confess of their own email address.

Spoofing a email address is ridiculously easy, this thing is a fake.

Good Point.
