If you dont vote for Republican the terrorist will hide under your bed .

why did americans fall for this in the past 2 elections . For a nation that claim to be tough we sure fall easy for FEAR.

What''s the matter with you McCain people? Get your heads out of the sand and face reality. Palin has been a questionable governor for 2 years and before that - the mayor of a town of 9,000 souls. A heart-beat away from the presidency? Nay, I say! She would be a manipulating Rove or Cheney dream-come-true.

Besides abuse of power charges, as well as traitorous AIP secession ideals, Palin has church and pastor problems too.

Who care????Palin may be very conservative , but she is only the VP , Mc Cain will be the main guy

I can''t believe how many people (conservatives and party faithful) I have heard say this. Did you know that over 20% of 43 presidents we have had were unable to complete their terms? John McCain at 72 would be the oldest of all time, and he has had cancer. Heis first thought when picking a running mate should have been, "who would be great president", not "how can I get back into this race". This choice puts our country at can further risk when we can''t afford it. Did you know Gov Palin''s education is a BA in Journalism from the U of Idaho? Is this really who you believe is best for our country? Conservatives values are great, but they alone do not not make a leader. Great leaders don''t do much actual work, they motivate other to do great things. Great leaders give give hope and make those around them believe they are great. Who is the best leader, with wisdom, and common sense to use that wisdom when making decisions?

So Palin is glad her daughter "made the decision to have her baby?"

But Palin would force any other woman to bear a child of any pregnancy.

Rape victim--make her bear the child.

Incest victim--make her bear the child.

Teenage girl raped by her father--make her bear the child.

And then Palin has the unmitigated gall to call herself a libertarian.

It looks like she believes in choice for her family, and complete government tyranny for everyone else''s family.

alohaone1 said: "Palin... is only the VP , Mc Cain will be the main guy" The primary VP role is the right of succession, we MUST therefore evaluate her on her ability to lead the nation, not just take up the space behind the President.

And in her ability to lead the nation, she''s an atrocious choice. I really respected McCain before this. Now, I just think he must be out to lunch. It smacks of pandering to a group of people that most Americans actually hold considerable animosity towards: the evangelicals.

McCain the independent may have been tolerable to many of us. McCain the evangelical panderer is most definitely not.

[alohaone1]

Rest assured America, Palin is the VP , she will only help John to clean up Washington as she has done over the years in Alaska . The VP is only the supportive role and the one with the final say is the President. See how it was with Clinton/Gore or Reagan/Bush or any other Presidency since history ,it was the President who has the final say . Even with Bush/cheney now when Cheney is the most Influential VP , Bush still made his own decision and that was obvious when he sacked Rumsfeld and went with the Surge. So, if the Dems want us to believe that Palin will run the show ( with her being Mc Cain junior in both age and experience ) while Mc Cain is around , they are either So Stupid that they do not know enough fact OR they Are SUPER STUPID to think that we will believe them . Mc Cain 08 all the way!

[alohaone1]

Who care????Palin may be very conservative , but she is only the VP , Mc Cain will be the main guy and everyone in this country knows that John Mc Cain knows how to handle the social conservatives , that was why they were mad at him all this time . John Mc Cain will not be controlled by the conservatives the way Bush and Cheney were . John Mc Cain may sometimes do things to please conservatives , because like Democrats and independents , conservatives are his constituents as well , but John Mc cain did and WILL say NO to them when they are over the Limit. John Mc CAin is his own man and all in this country know this very well despite the Dems'' effort to paint him as otherwise . When John was crossing the line to work with them , John is alright , When He runs against their nominee , John is SUDDENLY Bush # 3 , come on , we are not blind . The Dems will lose this Nov. for sure , With Palin who has over the years taken on corruptions as Mc Cain running mate and with SEn. Lieberman''s endorsement(the EX-DEMS VP NOMIMEE), Mc Cain''s maverick qualities are on display once again on the grandest scale!

It''s not Palin''s party.

It''s Cheney''s and Halliburton''s party!

Expect Cheney to guide the McCain Admin to invade Iran in 09.

Crazy you say?

That''s what I thought about the Iraq war too.

, I have always been tired of the GOP using Religion and God to sway voters%u2026.it should simply be about the critical issues and the best leaders to build concensus and implement necessary change to help ALL Americans, not just the faithful. I thought it was hypocritical that Gov. Palin had her poor 17year old daughter holding the 4-month baby with a blanket covering her belly%u2026if she was sooo proud, why were they hiding this? This is so obviously a tactic and it insults educated women like me who can see right thru this risky move. I wonder how the GOP and the media would react if it was a political family that happeed to be Hispanic or black? Would we see it as simply a %u201Ccommon mistake%u201D?! or, would we call it another example of the lack of American values and a baby out of wedlock?!?

Clearly there is a double standard and hypocrisy%u2026Again, it should be about the best candidates and focus on issues.

Hey, and don''''t forget that when McCain drops dead in office, Palin will be the first female President of the United States! I wonder if Hillary Clinton will die of a heart attack?

One can only hope... Thanks for the sunny thought.

[noloyalisti]

McSame-Failin'' means no more womens rights, war on science and enless Christian Crusades. We will keep on giving our money to the rich, use more oil than ever and global climate change will rapture us. Sounds like a good country for my kids.

At least Palin is consistent in her beliefs, right or wrong, unlike the hypocrites in both parties.

That said, there is a case for abortion in some circumstances - rubella, incest and rape, for example. However, I am not in favor of abortion for social convenience. I remember meeting at a party a few years ago a woman with whom I gone to university several years previously. I was told reliably that she had had eight abortions.

"although she admits to some toking in her younger years"

Omigodomigod!! She''s brain-damaged just like Obama!!

[jmurrieta1]

The people of Minnesota, a key Midwest swing state, are not happy that Governor Tim Pawlenty was passed over by John McCain to nominate this nobody from Hicksville.

More people live in the Twin Cities than in the entire state of Alaska. And Minnesota people work for a living, not suck off hush money payments from Big Oil.

Watch for Minnesota to go solid Blue.

Bad Judgment John strikes again. He just flew yet another airplane into the ground.
