Sarah Palin, different opinion now.

[Funkmasta]

That's because there's a more than small chance if McCain is elected, especially if he gets elected to a second term, that he will become incapacitated in office.

Really? Where is your proof?

Also, I can already say that Im sure there is no chance in Hell for McCain to be re-elected. His success to date, is a fluke. The Republican vote will be predominately voting AGAINST Obama, not FOR McCain.

[Old'n'Slow]

Really? Where is your proof?

The fact that you are asking for "proof" of a stated opinion is bad enough, but....

Also, I can already say that Im sure there is no chance in Hell for McCain to be re-elected.

The same damn thing was said after Bush squeaked by in 2000.

McCain is 72. He does not recall how many homes he owns, and seems unclear about whether condoms can help prevent the spread of HIV. He needed to ask his own policy advisor what his policy was because he couldn't remember. Actually, he sounds a lot like my mother did shortly after being diagnosed with Alzheimer's. And I sure as hell wouldn't have wanted her in office.

But I agree: The Reps will not vote against their ticket no matter how bad the ticket is.

Wow? Really? Are you so blinded by the slant of that "article" that you can't see the actual facts?

This isn't news worthy at all. It is a non-issue. It is part of the "All Barack Channel" blitz. The travel was approved routinely, and then when the intent was discover, it was cancelled. Anybody who worked for me who tried to pull off shit like that would get fired too. The facts are in there if you want to read past the wording and spin applied by ABC.

Try to focus on reality and facts not the implications left hanging by the wording use. Wow... it's such a shame that people can't see through this kind of thing.

I think it is funny how the Democrats and the media have focused in on Palin. She isn't running for President. They keep comparing her to Obama... why? Again, she isn't running for President.

My opinion is that they are scared. Here is a woman who holds many traditional ideas yet is intelligent and successful in a "man's world". This goes against everything that the Dem's have been telling us for years. Only less evolved and less intelligent women believe in the family and traditional values because those values are just there to hold women down from the Dem's perspective. She breaks those rules and will most likely be the first woman to be on a winning Presidential ticket. The Dems hate that and are trying everything they can to discredit her. She is destroying years and years of doctrine for the Dems and I think it is very funny.

Catch her in a lie and its because of media bias. yeah, right. She is the worst kind of self-serving corrupt backwoods politician.

[Aptyp]

wow, that's my entire high school reading curriculum

[Aptyp]

I like the way that story spun.

I had a lot of respect for Biden for a long time, but as soon as he accepted being a VP for a man that he himself was a biggest critic of, I changed my mind.

And I am actually shocked. Smear campaign has been a republican slimy way to the office. Democrats are disappointing me.

[deansbimmer]

Does anyone else experience a mindfuck when they see the dems ticket Obama/Biden and think "Osama Bin Laden"?

[Hallen]

Catch her in a lie and its because of media bias. yeah, right. She is the worst kind of self-serving corrupt backwoods politician.

I didn't say that. What I said was they may have correct facts there, but it doesn't point to any wrong doing. What it does is supports Palin's position. If you can't read through the spin to see the facts, then don't blame it on me. Seriously, don't be so weak minded. They put the facts in the story so they don't get sued for libel, but they also put key words and use phrases designed to misdirect you. It is used all the time. Liberal media, Conservative media, bad media, all of them use it from time to time. It is what they want you to think and not necessarily what the facts read.

Your opinion is that she is the "worst kind of self-serving corrupt backwoods politician". Isn't that funny how your preconceptions are supported by the article you thought you read?

I also think it is funny when people recognize how they are being fed an orchestrated smear campaign by their side and then they say that it is usually the other way around. Get a clue! Both sides use smear campaigns. The ones that are successful with it are the ones who have more of the truth on their side. The Dem's are trying to come up with their own "Swift Boat" group here and are failing miserably because there is no substance there and they are also aiming at the Vice Presidential candidate instead of the Presidential candidate. Pretty stupid, really.

You're a fucking moron. I don't know if someone mentioned this yet because I was so pissed that I didn't read on, but why don't you not just blindly believe what your boyfriend at college tells you? Some of these books weren't even published at the time of this supposed banning. This is total bullshit.

last post i made, the Sarah Palin's speech thing, was actually a positive thought from me. my views on her have COMPLETELY changed now. the following was given to me by a friend in college. this was supposedly from a town in Alaska, i have no idea what the connection is between the town and Sarah Palin, but this pissed me off:

after the librarian opposed her, she ordered her to be fired. this is perfect proof of how much of a close minded woman she is, brain washed by the people who raised her. my opinion of her is completely changed. your thoughts?

Dude. The article wasn't about the book banning rumor. It was about "Troopergate". (another pumped up non-issue)

Or are you responding to something so old in this thread that it has been resolved pages ago. If you are going to flame somebody, why don't you read the entire thread and at least check the dates on the posts.

I said in my post that I didn't read past the first post. I did this because it was fresh in my mind and I want to rebuttal it immediately, rather than reading through everything.
