ABOUT SARAH PALIN:

If you really want to know Sarah Palin's history (in detail) this is a "must read". It was written by Anne Kilkenny, a resident of Wasilla, Alaska.

Democratic leadership under Barack Obama wanted to cut and run in Iraq now today and just before our successful surge, just as Democratic leadership wanted to cut and run in Vietnam before our 1200 POWs came home in 1973. John McCain realizes he would not be here today if the Democratic leadership had their way back in 1972. Because he spent early years in Indonesia, Barack Obama may not be the Democratic Presidential candidate today but for our efforts in Vietnam in 1972. Richard Nixon a former Navy officer who served before John McCain years in the Navy understood that North Vietnam never returned any of the captured French POWs after their defeat at Dien Bien Phu in 1954. Only the week long bombings of Hanoi including Christmas day in 1972 with our B52 bombers finally convinced North Vietnam that we wanted our 1200 POWs back now. The bombings also convinced the South Vietnamese that we would support them in the future under the Paris Peace Talks agreement. Although the United States lost in Vietnam are efforts there gave other countries time to develop their fragile democracies. Indonesia today is a democratic country today that is friendly to the United States and has a population of nearly two hundred million people, the fourth largest in the world. Barack Obama spent his early childhood in Indonesia attending school with his mother and step-father during the time of the Vietnam War. It has been reported that the former President of Indonesia stated that our efforts in Vietnam although we lost allowed Indonesia to fight off communism and develop as a democratic country. Our efforts in Vietnam bought Indonesia time. Barack Obama could have been caught up in a communist insurrection in Indonesia during his early childhood if the United States had cut and run and had not tried to slow or stop a rapid North Vietnam takeover of South Vietnam. All of Southeast Asia including Indonesia could have rapidly gone Communist if the United States did not at least make a stand to resist the rapid expansion of communism and stand by our ally South Vietnam. Ironicallly both John McCain and Barack Obama would not be the men they are today and John McCain would not be here if we had followed Democratic leadership to cut and run in Vietnam before our POWs were returned.

Some Democratic leaders including Obama but not Joe Leiberman have asked what have we accomplished in Iraq? John McCain was right in his support for the Iraq surge. Iraq today is in relative peace and is no longer hostile to the United States. Iraq is currently producing two and a half million barrels of oil a day and is capable of producing four and half million barrels a day. At $120 one hundred and twenty dollars a barrel Iraq has current oil revenues of $300 three hundred million dollars a day. Those revenues can grow to $500 million dollars a day with increased production. Thanks to the John McCain support of the war and the surge $300 million dollars a day are not being funneled to enemies of the United States to support terrorism around the world and to buy missiles and nuclear weapons that can be used against the United States. With an income stream of three hundred million dollars a day, Iraq was capable of purchasing hundreds of nuclear weapons. Our current progress with North Korea on nuclear issues is a result of cutting off the money flow and purchase of missiles and nuclear technology from North Korea to Iraq.

Has anyone noticed the difference in composition of those delegates actually attending the RNC and DNC conventions? The RNC version appears to be over 90% white and wealthy-attired. The DNC version seemed to have people from every color and background. The contrast is startling to me. One version seems to show our presnt and future, the other is a throwback to the past.

I dont know much about Palin but I am watching and listening and for the most part thus far her speeches have included the words of Hillary Clinton 18 million votes that shattered the glass and now she is asking for Hillary supporters to shatter that glass, well Palin we dont know if you are the standard of Hillary Clinton you haven't proven yourself and been through the mud and fought like Hillary and just last year you called Hillary a winer so now why is it you smile and look to us women for your support. Who are You? I find it sort of offensive for McCain to pick such a running mate just to entertain the women votes. We do see and think clearly Mr. McCain and you say change when your with Palin but you also stand along Bush with the same policies, we do understand your position Mr. McCAIN it's loud and clear, Thanks but no Thanks

Hey Kid, your sheets are showing.

It's very simple folks we all understand the shape our Country is in today right. We see our challenges and how they have been handled for the last 8 years right. We understand that health care and the working families need change right, So it's simple
If you agree with the last 8 years go vote McCain and what was her name again

OR

Take a stand for change for new leadership both campaigns have issues that could be improved we all agree but I will not take my vote for the same policies and continue to disgrace our Country - just my opioion

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reported today that the number of cases of Clinging to Guns and Bibles Syndrome (CGBS) had dropped for the first time in 6 months. Senator Obama expressed relief at the report. He said: " The spread of this terrible disease was beginning to undermine my chances of becoming Commander in Chief." Mr. Obama once again suggested that Gideon Bibles be removed from hotel rooms and replaced with copies of Mice and Men. "That wonderful story by Steinbeck captures the essence of my campaign"

I have to laugh at the indignant defense of Palin, and especially at the desperate effort to distinguish her (vast and compelling) experience as Governor of the (powerful and populous) State of Alaska from her (purely preparatory) stint as the Mayor of (the obscure township of) Wasilla. That odor you smell is the smoke from McCain's "experience matters" argument going up in flames.

I was watching CNN AC360 after work last night. Obama referred to Palin's home town where she was Mayor as WASILLY and not Wasilla. Another gaffe or purposeful disrespect? Then Obama went on to address his lack of experience compared to Palin's. He compared running his campaign to Palin's being Mayor stating his budget and number of employees to that of the town of Wasilla. Problem with that comparison is that Palin is no longer a mayor SHE IS THE GOVERNOR OF ALASKA! So, Obama do you want to make the REAL comparison? The Obama campaign is underestimating Palin just like the incumbant candidates that Palin beat underestimated her. Fatal career decision for the incumbants.

It's difficult to see how such a scene will inspire the voters.
