Oral Exam, Part II

DEMOCRATIC WOMEN ARE TOO SMART TO VOTE FOR THE REPUBLICAN TICKET JUST BECAUSE PALIN IS A RUNNING MATE. HILLARY SUPPORTERS WERE SUPPORTING HILLARY BECAUSE SHE WAS A FULLY QUALIFIED PERSON TO BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT. WE WILL NOT BE DRAWN INTO THE EMPTY RHETORIC AND ANGER COMING FROM THE REPUBLICANS. THE ATTACK LINES COMING FROM PALIN WERE REALLY CUTE, BUT WHAT ARE HER SOLUTIONS TO FIX THE MANY PROBLEMS FACING THIS COUNTRY?

I GUESS THAT SINCE I AM NOT A MEMBER OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, I AM NOT VIEWED BY GOVENOR PALIN AS BEING WORTHY OF LIFE. HER SPEECH WAS ONE OF THE MOST DEVISIVE I HAVE EVER HEARD. HER FAMILY IS CERTAINLY LOVELY, BUT DON'T FORGET HOW BADLY THE REPUBLICAN POLICIES HURT THE MIDDLE CLASS FAMILIES OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS; AND SHE MADE IT PERFECTLY CLEAR THAT SHE INTENDS TO CONTINUE AND ENHANCE THOSE DEVASTATING POLICIES. SHE CERTAINLY GAVE THE RIGHT WING BASE THE STUFF THAT THEY HAVE BEEN CRAVING BUT GOD HELP US ALL IF McCAIN/PALIN WIN THIS ELECTION.
CRAVING BUT GOD HELP US ALL IF McCAIN/PALIN WIN THIS ELECTION.

McCain turned 72 this month! God forbids if something happens to him, this ex-mayor and beauty paegent (under federal investigation whose husband is VP of British Petrolium and he is anti-abortion and wants to
reverse Row V Wade) from Wassila is going to have the key to the nukes. NO WAY, NO HOW, NO McCAIN!!!

She struck me as an arrogant, cocky and self-righteous Christian Fundamentalist, something the kooks and crooks crowd that rules the Republican party for the last 8 years frequently has put on display. I look forward to the time when she will have to defend her positions on the accumulating debt and death of the last 8 years, being anti-choice, anti-contraception (something that apparently might have helped her 17 yr. old daughter rather than preaching "abstinence") and anti-equal pay for equal work between men and women. I relish the prospect of voters getting to know her position in these important areas rather than her being the PTA president of Wasilla City.

If God is on her side, I'll have to reconsider my notions about Satan...

Palin was selected to be an attack dog that they could accuse the Democrates of 'picking on a woman' if they respond in kind. Come on reporter's, you all know she didn't write any of that speech so all it proved was she can read.

I will give you this, the speech played very well at the RNC, and it may even pick up swing voters. But as a moderate democrat I was offended. I try to give conservatives credit where credit is due but they simply mocked people who believe in liberal ideology. The sarcasm was so strong and as a citizen with some liberal ideology I took the blows personally. You may not agree with Obama but don't stand there and lie on him like that. I felt like the Republicans were saying if you aren't a Republican you don't deserve to sit at the American table. It is becoming clearer every day that this is a divided America. I want government to work in bipartisanship because neither Democrats or Republicans are 100 percent right. The Republicans have made it very clear that they believe that in order to have a better America you have to get rid of all the Democrats. Who is Sarah Palin to question my patriotism?

Did I read that one of these columnists thought her speech was "sophisticated"? That's weird. I thought it was silly. I don't respond well to jabs, sarcasms, and winks when our country is facing serious issues. She claims to be different, but it was politics as usual. And I don't appreciate hearing anyone scoff at Obama's time as a community organizer. Since when is trying to help people considered amusing? I don't like the tone of the Republicans this week at all.

I agree with Nookie, it is just more of the same. I felt insulted as a woman when McCain chose Palin only because in my heart I knew he chose her because he was behind in the polls & was hoping he could grab some of the Hillary votes while I'm sure his staff told him he would once again look like a maverick in the people's eye because we're too dumb to know what he is upto & the other more disturbing disappointment is she is a true conservative republican, I thought John McCain disagreed with a vast majority of the conservative right, so once again because he was behind in the polls & needed the conservative vote he went out & chose a running mate who resembles Pat Buchanon and all the rest of the right wingers. If he wanted to get the conservative vote he should have chose Romney. For all I disagree with most of what Romney stands for, at least he balanced the budget in MA so has a proven track record in economics. All I know is that we need to get Obama in the White House!!!

It is very clear to me that as a whole the Republicans do not represent many of the afro american citizens. Never have and never will. This is one of the reasons why it is important to vote for a Democrat this year. Not because Obama is a black male but because Historically democrats have always had the american peoples interest at heart. Republicans time and time again have proved to be removed from ordinary americans many plights and this election is proof positive. When Palin stated she is a speaking for all those hockey moms....There are no black professional hockey players that I know of (could be wrong) and with
that therer certainly black hockey moms. So she is not speaking to blacks neither is McCain. And nor did Bush. The only time regular folks (black and white) see any progress from our elected presidential officials is when a democrat is in office. It seems that when republicans get into to office the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Historically speaking. Palin being a woman has nothing to do with nothing. This entire polical stategy is an insult to americans first and womem secondly. This just seems like more of the same. As to experience....A lack of experience by your commander and cheif has never been an issue in the corporate world. How many times has a fresh new young coporate head taken office and performed better than that of someone who has been in that position most their lives. Experience has never meant much in the corporate world anyway. And when you put it all in perspective these candidates are vying for the most important job in the world and we the american people are here to chose the best candidate for the job. And the McCain Palin ticket aint it.

continuation of last post. I am sorry, I can't afford Obama's form of change. I wish I could but I just can't. I am sorry. It is because of of what happened back in the 1990's that I vote a little redder now days. I lost my hospital job because of Clinton back then because my hospital was privately owned and when Clinton became President and promised universal healthcare-the private owners said they weren't going to make any money in that enviroment and sold the hospital to a corporation giant. When they took over, they said don't worry, we are not going to lay off anybody, everything will be the same. After six months they looked at their books and after looking at their profit margin they called in all of the senior employees and said, we are sorry but you make too much money for the positions you are employed so you will have to go. They then hired people off the street for minimum wage. The result, quality went down and coplaints went sky high by patients and the whole place eventually was sold and closed down. I am saying this because this is what Obama is going to offer. This is the result of bad change. That is what Clinton ran on and I can't afford to go through that again. I am sorry, I want change but not that kind of change.

The snarky Ms Palin wants the media to report on her undereducated teen son going to Iraq, but would prefer that they leave her HS drop out whiskey-swillin' daughter and her HS drop out drunk boyfriend out of it. She also doesn't want the media to get too close to the fact that the Lady Bristol is having a baby after being impregnated at 16. That's bad of the media - they should leave it. She does wants the media to report her opposition to the Bridge to Nowhere - after she supported it with deed and money. But, she does not want the media to report she left her little small town broke while mayor, but please do talk about the 80% lovefest-rate as a 1 1/2 year Gov. The media should steer clear of oil talk, oil-job hubbies, oil conflict of interests, murdered dogs and Library books.

The media should stay far away from her being under investigation by a bipartisan state legislative body. And Ms. Palin really promised to cooperate with a legislative inquiry, but this week she hired a lawyer to fight to move the case to the jurisdiction of the state "personnel board" - which Palin anoints and appointed. In her cloud of rhetoric musings and snaps, Palin said speeches are just a "cloud of rhetoric." Which the media should ignore altogether. And for God's sake - for the religious right - don't talk about the lobbyist hired and ear marks received, squandered and hidden. Instead talk about how she was vetted two week ago in three hours.

But she's apparently a good hockey mom, who should be forgiven. A bit nasally though like Fran Drescher. I bet those glasses cost more than a haircut too. Stylish. She'll look good giving her sister's ex the boot.
