    Hopefully we’ll be seeing more of both of them. ;)

    Tina Fey is liberal and Palin is a right winger, but they do look alike. Palin looks more like a dumb soccer mom than a VP choice, my prediction is this gives Obama a huge 10% lead over Mccain. Dumb choice with Palin. Very dumb!

    Palin’s a dumb ass with no experience!

  4. VA Patriot, on August 30th, 2008 at 7:33 am Said:

    Palin has 2 years of executive experience. Obama and Biden combined don’t even have that.

  5. Riley, on August 30th, 2008 at 7:38 am Said:

    “Grant” and “david” have the same IP address and posted 1 minute apart. Obvious liberal Dem troll who doesn’t even recognize that his party’s PRESIDENTIAL nominee is less qualified than Palin and she is only running for VP. Banned.

  6. Hirons, on August 30th, 2008 at 9:33 am Said:

    Correct that VA Patriot – she has 12 years of executive political experience. She was elected mayor in 1996.

    Even back then she had to dodge the experience issue:
    “During her first run for mayor, critics complained that Palin, at 32, was too young and inexperienced.”

  7. brightstarr, on August 30th, 2008 at 3:15 pm Said:

    She has less than 2 years of experience as governor. End of story. She isn’t nearly as qualified as Hillary Clinton and it’s an insult to women everywhere to suggest that they are ignorant to fall for this political ploy.

    Her mayoral experience is irrelevant when it comes to governing the United States of America – I doubt the state of Alaska compares to dealing with national security, a weakened economy, and international affairs. Maybe her journalism degree with that major in politics may come in handy. I’m sure Obama’s law degree, experience at both local, state, and national levels are irrelevant to you when compared to this Tina Fey look-a-like Mccain had to go all the way to Alaska to find. VA Patriot is insane. Clearly. Believe what you wish, it’s clear you disregard facts. Let’s hope at least 50.5% of Americans are able see how weak the Republican ticket is looking this November.

    She has less than 2 years of experience as governor of ALASKA with a very weak record. End of story. Male or Female she isn’t nearly as qualified as Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, OR Barack Obama. It’s an insult to women everywhere to suggest that they are blatantly ignorant to fall for this ridiculous political ploy.

    Her mayoral experience is irrelevant when it comes to governing the United States of America – I doubt the state of Alaska compares to dealing with national security, a weakened economy, and strengthening our international affairs.

    Maybe her journalism degree with that MINOR in politics may come in handy. I’m sure Obama’s u.s. law degree, experience at both local, state, and national levels are irrelevant to you when compared to this Tina Fey look-a-like Mccain had to go all the way to Alaska to find. The woman doesn’t even understand the duties of a Vice President. I mean what do the Republicans define as credentials for office? I mean REALLY? This election is too important to disregard the facts. Let’s get real.

    She was mayor of Wasilla, I understand. Have you been to Wasilla? – Thought so.

    It’s amazing how gaga men get over goodlooking women. Wonder whether you’ll vote with your brain or something else. Just wondering.

    Anyway, should she make it as VP she’ll be a smash hit at funerals, that’s for sure.

    Tina Fey & Short Arms don’t stand a chance!

    I am so surprised to see all the Palin bashing by those who have clung to the mantra of change. Obama wanted change and chose a 30 year career politician, definitely a defensive move. A ticket with Hillary would have sealed the deal but it seems pride got in the way.
    McCain on the other hand has chosen a true outsider (who does not have DC experience or ties) and demonstrated he is willing to work for true bipartisan change and that the republicans are not as sexist as some think. It is time for a democratic party gut check. You brought the wrong guy to the table.
    Prediction: Palin will come to define a new approach to feminism in our country that has not been seen and feminists will find friends in the republican party.

  12. VA Patriot, on September 4th, 2008 at 5:44 pm Said:

    Who was the last Senator to be elected President?
    JFK

    Who were the last Governors to be elected President?
    Bush, Clinton, Reagan, Carter

    Thus, the notion that Governor Sarah Palin is somehow not qualified for VICE President is pure bunk.

  13. Wolfy, on September 5th, 2008 at 6:02 am Said:

    It’s so sad when liberals are holding the Republican VP nominee to a higher standard than their own party’s Presidential nominee.

    Brightlady, Barracks few years in Congress is the truly “irrelevant” experience between these four candidates.

  14. Morbitau Q. Mosselldorph, on September 7th, 2008 at 1:19 pm Said:

    Holdingmynose2vote, I believe Obama’s VP choice was to reassure voters that his lack of experience wasn’t going to be an issue. Take a look at both sides of McCain’s face, he isn’t going to be around for much longer. He is 4 years away from the average life expectancy and 1/3 of his face is tumors. The problem with McCain is that if he gets elected, he will in all probability die in office. That would leave us with Palin a woman who can’t even properly run a family, in charge of arguably the most powerful nation on the planet.

  15. Our Ticket is in the Right Order, on September 7th, 2008 at 1:44 pm Said:

    “The problem with McCain is that if he gets elected, he will in all probability die in office.” Are you McCain’s doctor or are you just talking out of your ass?

    Are you sick in the head boy? I haven’t said a word to you in my life! In fact, the closest I’ve ever come to communicating with you is through type! And typing is done with the fingers, not the arse as you so immaturely suggested.

  17. JD, on September 8th, 2008 at 12:06 pm Said:

    Give me a break. If Clinton was Obama’s VP pick….Oh man O man that would be the ultimate race. John who??? Barack who??? It would be all about the Experience the women have. Yes I would have to concede that Hillary was way more qualified yet I can’t see her as President. Palin on the other hand would be perfect. Hasn’t really had all that much of a chance to be corrupted By (Washington’s) lobbyist and such. Wouldn’t matter to me really because I see John McCain as his own man with the values & the fortitude that has brought him to us now. Now is not the time to elect a man with a tiny experience in foreign affairs & a man with a running mate that has even a worse record. I think we need another crazy cowboy type like Reagan. Then the North Koreans would sh*t their pants & Iran would be worried about his ability. Remember it wasn’t but a week or two after Reagan got elected that Iran buckled let our hostages go. Iran saw a cowboy coming into office and they were scared that he would retaliate. John brings the same strength to the country now at a time we need to be strong and not show weakness as a country.

    remember this……..

    WHOMEVER WE ELECT WE ALL MUST STAND BEHIND OUR PRESIDENT

    That’s just wrong. Tina Fey is smart, funny, and very attractive. Palin looks like some old woman who’s trying to look younger, and isn’t doing a good job. Palin is disgusting. So are the males that vote for those idiots, especially when it’s because they think Palin is hot.

    You people need to rot.

  24. cindy smith, on September 15th, 2008 at 7:00 am Said:

    Sometimes politics has the uncanny effect of mirroring the national psyche even

    when nobody intended to do that. This is perfectly illustrated by the rousing

    effect that Gov. Sarah Palin had on the Republican convention in Minneapolis

    this week. On the surface, she outdoes former Vice President Dan Quayle as an

    unlikely choice, given her negligent parochial expertise in the complex affairs

    of governing. Her state of Alaska has less than 700,000 residents, which reduces

    the job of governor to the scale of running one-tenth of New York City. By

    comparison, Rudy Giuliani is a towering international figure. Palin’s pluck has

    been admired, and her forthrightness, but her real appeal goes deeper.

    She is the reverse of Barack Obama, in essence his shadow, deriding his idealism

    and turning negativity into a cause for pride. In psychological terms the shadow

    is that part of the psyche that hides out of sight, countering our aspirations,

    virtue, and vision with qualities we are ashamed to face: anger, fear, revenge,

    violence, selfishness, and suspicion of “the other.” For millions of Americans,

    Obama triggers those feelings, but they don’t want to express them. He is

    calling for us to reach for our higher selves, and frankly, that stirs up hidden

    reactions of an unsavory kind. (Just to be perfectly clear, I am not making a

    verbal play out of the fact that Sen. Obama is black. The shadow is a metaphor

    widely in use before his arrival on the scene.) I recognize that psychological

    analysis of politics is usually not welcome by the public, but I believe such a

    perspective can be helpful here to understand Palin’s message. In her acceptance

    speech

    Gov. Palin sent a rousing call to those who want to celebrate their resistance

    to change and a higher vision

    Look at what she stands for:

    * Small town values — a nostaligic return to simpler times disguises a

    denial of America’s global role, a return to petty, small-minded parochialism.

    * Ignorance of world affairs — a repudiation of the need to repair America’s

    image abroad.

    * Family values — a code for walling out anybody who makes a claim for

    social justice. Such strangers, being outside the family, don’t need to be

    needed.

    * Rigid stands on guns and abortion — a scornful repudiation that these

    issues can be negotiated with those who disagree.

    * Patriotism — the usual fallback in a failed war.

    * “Reform” — an italicized term, since in addition to cleaning out

    corruption and excessive spending, one also throws out anyone who doesn’t fit

    your ideolo gy.

    Palin reinforces the overall message of the reactionary right, which has been in

    play since 1980, that social justice is liberal-radical, that minorities and

    immigrants, being different from “us” pure American types, can be ignored, that

    progressivism takes too much effort and globalism is a foreign threat. The

    radical right marches under the banners of “I’m all right, Jack,” and “Why

    change? Everything’s OK as it is.” The irony, of course, is that Gov. Palin is a

    woman and a reactionary at the same time. She can add mom to apple pie on her

    resume, while blithely reversing forty years of feminist progress. The irony is

    superficial; there are millions of women who stand on the side of conservatism,

    however obviously they are voting against their own good. The Republicans have

    won multiple national elections by raising shadow issues based on fear,

    rejection, hostility to change, and narrow-mindedness

    Obama’s call for higher ideals in politics can’t be seen in a vacuum. The shadow

    is real; it was bound to respond. Not just conservatives possess a shadow — we

    all do. So what comes next is a contest between the two forces of progress and

    inertia. Will the shadow win again, or has its furtive appeal become exhausted?

    No one can predict. The best thing about Gov. Palin is that she brought this

    conflict to light, which makes the upcoming debate honest. It would be a shame

    to elect another Reagan, whose smiling persona was a stalking horse for the

    reactionary forces that have brought us to the demoralized state we are in. We

    deserve to see what we are getting, without disguise. http://www.chopra.com/wordsfromdeepak

    VA patriot-

    Your comments are terrible and misleading.

    1. Yeah, Palin has more executive experience than Obama and Biden combined. Neither of them has an executive experience. But guess what? NEITHER DOES McCain. Senators are legislators, and thus do not have executive experience.

    2. Very true that few senators have been elected President recently. However, it looks like there is a 100% chance of that happening this time…considering that BOTH OBAMA AND MCCAIN ARE SENATORS.

    Please don’t attempt to mislead people.

    I’m sorry you find the truth misleading. I’ll work on that.

    ROTFLAD = Rolling on the floor laughing at democrats

    Dear Cindy Smith — how could a woman being elected VP (and possibly assending to the P) reverse 40 years of feminism?

    Does feminism require liberal beliefs?

    If so, I think the definition of feminism is due for an update…

    Sarah Palin (whether she succeeds in 2008, or maybe in 2012) may very well reverse 40 years of LIBERAL feminism… but from my point of view, she delivers on the promise of what feminism should have been all along — equal respect for women… equal opportunity for women… dare I say even equal rights for women…

    A true feminist should be overjoyed right now, seeing what’s happening in our country.

    Hillary carried the ball farther than ever. She lost because she had the wrong campaign strategy in caucus states, not because she was a woman.

    That should make you happy… she lost for the right reasons.

    And Sarah Palin proves that even on the Republican side, we “evil” republicans can see a woman as a viable candidate — one we can get behind.

    So here you have the whole country (more or less) saying there are no limits for women — lots of gaps to fill in, sure –but there are no limits any more.

    Whether you are republican or democrat… if you are a feminist, you should be very proud of your country, your struggle for 40+ years, and what you have accomplished.

    Sarah Palin in 2008 would not have been possible without Betty Friedan 1962, and a whole lot of women in between — liberal bent or not.

    Go Sarah!

    Reagan was giving his inauguration address when the Iranian hostages were freed, not a couple of weeks later. They wanted no part of that maverick. That’s the kind of leader we need again. Not some punk “community organizer”.

    Cindy Palin is like a breath of fresh air in politics that has been too long like a dank, dirty, smelly, ash trays full room with equally stale smoke filled air. Right on Cindy you took on the oil companies in Alaska and because of your diligence at least three criminals are now under indightment!

    It is so refreshing to have a person running for a high office that speaks openly that they are going there not for a party, no for a vested interest but for the people of this great country.

    If American wants a homework assignment before the election – so be it – watch Oh God for who is actually responsible for how our country and this world turns out. And watch Mr. Smith Goes to Washington for a look inside what’s “really” going on in Washington!

    If the majority of politicans were running businesses the way in which they have run our government – they would all be in jail for a very long time.

    I’t time for a second American “evolution” and the only way we will save our great country and this world is to take our next logical evolutionary step – ethics! Yes, raise the ethical level and we will see a majority of our problems solve themselves from illegal drug use to crime to the problems with our economy!

  31. Bill, on September 28th, 2008 at 11:02 pm Said:

    I am so sick of this lame “lack of experience” Repub talking point. What BS! In 1982, while McPalin was just becoming a Jr. Senator after graduating 4th from the bottom of his class,(attaining his UNDERgrad degree…the only degree he holds), Obama was majoring in Political Science and International Relations at Columbia University. He CHOSE to spend three years as a community organizer because he wanted to help people and make a difference. Then, he (without any help from any connected Navy Admiral fathers or grandfathers) made it into Harvard Law School where he excelled greatly and graduated Magna Cum Laude. He spent the next 12 years as a Professor of United States Consitutional Law at the Chicago Law School. Then, as cream tends to rise to the top, he found himself elected to the Illinois State Legislature and then quickly to the US Senate. Lack of experience? Give me a break!!!

    I don’t care how much experience she has or does not have. She’s shown herself to be a fool with some of the worst moral principles I have ever seen in another human. In my opinion she belongs in a cage.

  34. Riley, on October 2nd, 2008 at 10:59 am Said:

    I agree, Mike. That Tina Fey is simply morally bankrupt…

  35. mike, on October 3rd, 2008 at 12:33 am Said:

    Just like a republican, Riley, to skew the facts. Obviously I was talking about Sarah Palin. If you had taken the time to investigate the website I posted that might have dawned upon you, but clearly you aren’t really interested in the truth. Keep your greedy needs to yourself and keep my name out of yo mouth and we can keep it the same.

  36. VA Patriot, on October 3rd, 2008 at 9:45 am Said:

    Mike, your website shows statements of fact. Most of them are distortions. The first one I clicked was that Sarah wants creationism taught. Fair enough. One problem – the article refutes the “fact” statement:

    “In an interview Thursday, Palin said she meant only to say that discussion of alternative views should be allowed to arise in Alaska classrooms:

    “I don’t think there should be a prohibition against debate if it comes up in class. It doesn’t have to be part of the curriculum.”

    Now if you want to discuss any of these “facts,” fine, but at least try not to promulgate the misrepresentation of her stances on issues of public policy.

  37. mike, on October 6th, 2008 at 11:28 pm Said:

    The bullet points on the main website I posted are just that, they are blunt but they are not without truth. After reading the article you quote from I believe that Sarah Palin believes strongly in creationism and I also believe that most of the things she says are political and distorted in their own right. If Sarah Palin did not have to worry about what most of the world thinks she would openly say that she wishes he beliefs to be taught because she thinks they are right. The fact of the matter is she is a person whom like many politicians, does not speak what she really believes. I hope that Barack can at least start a change in that aspect of American politics. The website I posted makes clear what Sarah Palin really believes, especially the things that she does not wish to speak of. As far as I’m concerned I need only to listen to the women and I know she is not only dishonest but also downright wrong.

    She said she believes creationism should be allowed to be discussed in class along with evolution. Do you disagree?
