It seems that so many of you know what qualifications and experience is needed to be president. So why aren''t any of you running? The problem is, everyone needs to consider their own personal needs and weigh their options on reality. How has the last 8 years truly benefitted you? I know it''s been terrible for me. I work for US Department of Homeland Security, we used to be under the Justice Department, it was much much better. Bush created DHS, they took away our union and the morale is very very low. Our pay increases are lower than ever. The policies and procedures quoted to the public are on record, but are not allowed in lots of cases to be enforced. It''s a joke.

It''s funny listening to you Republicans. It makes one wonder if any of you is educated or have common sense. Our country is at an all-time low on credibility and respect because of you. Your logic is incredibly embarassing. Maybe some of you are educated, but you haven''t hit the white house yet. You guys that claim to be are educated fools with no sense of reality. It''s amazing that we even have a Republican party considering the chaotic and reckless leadership.

Sarah Palin and her husband were members of the Alaska Independence Party for many years.

________________________________

From Wikipedia, "The Alaskan Independence Party is a political party in the U.S. state of Alaska. Its best-known policy is its call for a United Nations vote, which they claim should have been offered as an option in the plebiscite on statehood under international law. Ideologically a constitutional foundation, the party also calls for increased Alaskan control of Alaskan land, gun rights, privatization, home schooling, and reduction of governmental intrusion in the private lives of its citizens with adherence to the founding documents of the United States."

Also from Wikipedia, "As of June 2006 the Alaskan Independence Party has 13,542 registered members in their party, making it the state''s third largest party.[5]

Lynnette Clark, the chair of the AIP, told ABC News that current Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, the presumptive 2008 Republican Party nominee for Vice President of the United States, had been a member of the party in the 1990s, and had attended the state party''s 1994 convention, a year after party founder and would-be secessionist Joe Vogler died.[6][7] Palin recorded a message welcoming party members to its 2008 convention."

So what we have here is a person who doesn''t want to be a part of the good ''ol USA now wanting to be your GOP candidate and wants you to elect her as VP?

Sarah Palin and her husband were members of the Alaska Independence Party for many years. What is the Alaska Independence Party? It is an anti-American, pro-secession, radical group that calls the United States of America a despicable country populated by worthless citizens.

I saw the interview with Obama/Biden with such pride! What a pair; 2 men who have proven to care about those that have been left behind. They personify the bible''s own words that it is ''our responsibility to care for one another, especially the orphans, widows and aliens''. I''m sorry but historically you have not had Republicans that embody this tenet, even though their party is supported by all the conservatives/right wing of the party (Moral Majority). Why would a party that professes to OWN God & family values, etc., not subscribe to Jesus'' own words about caring for the least of us? I loved the interview & it was refreshing to see 2 very intelligent men speak to the issues. They have great chemistry & I think they are more than qualified and prepared to march this county to better times, a better economy, withdrawing our troops from Iraq, improving foreign relations & diplomacy throughout the world and restore the respect that America has earned and deserves! And yes, they will not forget those that have fallen on hard times or open the door for the many who have the aspirations/grades but no one to ''let them in''. In this election, these people are representative of all those in the auto industry & other industries in the Midwest that lost their jobs because of closings or their jobs being shipped overseas. I pray that God leads us all to make the right decision as to who will lead our country! As for me, I believe it is Obama/Biden ''08

The talk of women being insulted by McCain''''s pick is ludicrous.

All the women I know are thankful to McCain. Obama is the one who insulted them.

I don''t know where you''re from, but every woman I have spoken to so far feels that we have been insulted because it seems to be such obviously political pandering.

We don''t vote based on a person''s plumbing and she is not the most qualified Republican for VP, male OR female.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows Barack Obama attracting 48% of the vote while John McCain earns 43%. When ''leaners'' are included, it''s Obama 51%, McCain 45%.
