Never - ever - have I heard more a vacuous, vapid response to a question from a major candidate for public office:

Please, people.  Please.  You cannot put this bimbo in the White House.

Ya know...I could say the same to you about Obama.


Yes....but everyone would wonder what on earth you were talking about. He hasn't been in Washington like Biden and McCain, but compared to Palin, he's got the experiences of a lifetime.

She has demonstrated she is willing to abuse power, and then admitted during the debate that she would like to expand the powers of the vice president beyond what power hungry Cheney has already done.

How has she demostrated that?


Do you just not read up on candidates much? Or do you consciously choose to ignore that which you find which doesn't fit into your preconceptions? Here's the best example of her tendencies to abuse power (though there certainly are other examples):

others in city hall were astounded when they found out about a lavish expenditure of Palin's own after her 1996 election. According to Carney, the newly elected mayor spent more than $50,000 in city funds to redecorate her office, without the council's authorization.....

Carney confronted Mayor Palin at a City Council hearing, and was shocked by her response.

"I braced her about it," he said. "I told her it was against the law to make such a large expenditure without the council taking a vote. She said, 'I'm the mayor, I can do whatever I want until the courts tell me I can't.'"

"I'll never forget it -- it's one of the few times in my life I've been speechless," Carney added. "It would have been easier for her to finesse it. She had the votes on the council by then, she controlled it. But she just pushed forward. That's Sarah. She just has no respect for rules and regulations."


Dunno about you, but that sort of shameless and selfish misuse of the taxpayers' money for personal whim is not something I’m particularly interested in letting near the Vice Presidency.

Obama has demostrated that he is a socialist, a marxist, and indeed loves class warfare.


Please do us a favor and read up on the actual definitions of socialism - and its common, correct usage, because (to paraphrase Inigo Montoya) "you keep using that word....I do not think it means what you think it means." ;o)

Yet it is Biden and Obama that continually chant change yet can't stop talking about Bush, even though they aren't running against Bush.


That'd be because it's important to know what you want change FROM, if you are truly going to advocate for it, wouldn't you say? There'd be no reason FOR change, if everyone agreed that the policies of George W. Bush had been overall quite good things for the country. Biden and Obama are pointing out the many, MANY ways in which a man - John McCain, who voted 90+% of the time WITH George Bush's policies/wishes - would be merely a continuation of those same, disastrous policies which have led us to the highest unemployment rate in decades, nine straight months of job losses, two disastrous wars which have made this country less wealthy and less safe, etc, etc, etc.... That's why. If McCain actually REPRESENTED significant change from most of those policies, we'd be having a very different election season. But he doesn't.

"if she abused her power ... it was wrong"

Yes of course, and that has yet to be proven....


Not necessarily. It may very well have already been proven, since the investigation has been concluded. We just don't know what it contains - and there is certainly a distinct possibility that it most certainly HAS proven abuse of power, and the only thing that remains is to release those findings to the public:

The independent investigator conducting the probe plans to turn over his conclusions by next Friday to the Legislative Council, the body that authorized it.


Now.....that doesn't prove that Palin abused her power...but it does mean that a full, public investigation into the matter has already been conducted, and its findings need only be made public. Why do you suppose, then, that despite having their lawsuit dismissed, the same six Republican legislators in Alaska who tried to quash this thing with that suit have now filed suit again, to try to delay the release until after the election? This investigation's complete: why WOULDN'T the American public want to know the evidence regarding such allegations about one of the four people vying for the two top spots in the nation BEFORE they're forced to make their choice in November.

Congress doesn't meet on any Christian holidays, so it's a moot point.

Oh so not telling someone the name of the paper she reads makes her a bimbo and has no brain?
