" The economy is in the dumpster, and Sarah Palin stands by as a possible vice president and as such would have a major voice in choosing options for national survival. She has demonstrated no talent for this, and has even need her husband with her to make decisions on where cuts must be made in Alaska. But her lack of fiscal background is no greater than is that of McCain and Obama. Biden looks more and more like the one we really need in a top job. "

" Is a "pit bull" the image of a leader we want to put forth to the rest of the world? Can't we do better than that? More intelligent?
BTW, Palin isn't about "lipstick on a pig." She IS, however, "Dick Cheney with lipstick!" "

" Pete: No matter what, I would NEVER vote republican. I like gay people, and approve of them marrying; I think women have a right to choose; and I think war is terrible. Pretty soon I am sure the conservatives will be outnumbered in this world, and the world will be taken over by what you people call "liberals", which is just fine with me. Look at the world, already you are outnumbered... there are "freaks" and "Gays" and "weirdos" out there, and you know what? Most of those people ARE NOT Republican. I just wish they would vote! The fact is they don't want to get involved because Republicans tend to belittle everyone who isn't a Republican. At least that is the reception I have received whenever stating my reasons for believing what I do. "

" Pete, it doesn't matter if ANYONE comes from an unwed/wed mother, in terms of their value as a human being, their ability to lead, etc. etc. You had mentioned Obama's paternity, and the Republicans have had enough sense NOT to try to make a "negative" of it, but if one of OBAMA's daughters was an older teen and was to get pregnant -- look out!!! The Republican response would be VERY DIFFERENT than the tender solicitude we're seeing for Bristol Palin. After all, we all know how immoral those liberals are ... "

" Stephanie.....

Why doesnt it matter that the annointed ones mother was an unwed teenage mother? Is it because he is the chosen one? "
