yeah, but how is giving hand out money to millions of people who don't want to work for it, while taking it from the people who provide the jobs for those who will work for it help the economy? And while we're at it. The last I heard we are winning the "war we cannot win" and the people who made that possible with the surge are now talking about getting ready to leave there in a manner which allows our soldiers to hold their heads high and doesnt undermine America's place in the world and endangering her citicens by portraying military weakness.

OK. I'm a nurse so I know a few things. When a woman ruptures her membranes a month before her due date, it's considered an obstectrical emergency. Any pregnant woman who is not retarded and ruptures her membranes a month early, knows the baby is in trouble. When you're pregnant with a Down Syndrome child, you have also been told about the high risk for the baby to be born with severe, life-threatening cardiac problems and the need for the baby to be born in a hospital with a Lever 3 nursery to maximize the chance of saving the baby's life.

So, knowing all of this, please tell me why Gov. Palin, a staunch Right-to-Life supporter (1) had a genetic amnio at 13 weeks when the risk of miscarriage was 3 times greater then if she had waited until the normal time of 18 weeks when she wasn't going to do anything despite the outcome? (2) Decided she had to fly from Alaska to Texas, a total of 24 hours flying time, when she was 8 months pregnant with her 5th child, and a special needs one at that? (3) When she ruptured her membranes in Houston, why didn't she go to one of the 6 or so hospitals there with a Level 3 nursery to get the medications she needed to save her baby's life? (4) Why did she get on 2 airplanes and fly back to Alaska and risk the real possibility of delivering the baby in the air? (5) What would she have done if the baby had been born on the plane and had bad heart problems? (6) When she landed in Alaska, why didn't she go to the medical university there in Fairbanks? (7) Why did she drive home in the snow an hour away to have the baby in her small town hospital?

Gov. Palin may be Pro-Life but every choice she made in her pregnancy with Trig showed reckless disregard for his life and only concern for what was best and convenient for hers.

Please explain why none of these issues can up in Charles Gibson interview with her. Are they afraid they might make her cry or that she will bite them?

Its not about abortion folks.....the economy is down for the count and there is a war on we cannot win that take 3 million dollars a day to fund.

Hey Everyone - we could argue all day long about the tabloid stories and who's being picked on in the media and who's not - but utimately - this election is going to come down to the economy and asking yourselves if you are better off now than you were 8 years ago. And now that Sarah Palin has made it clear she intends to behave like a pit-bull with rabies combined with a mad-as-hell bucking bull (with listick), she's basically promising to play her part in 4 more years of partisan gridlock and fully supports Bush's policies 100% as does McCain. It's a real siimple choice and James Carville (who I don't always agree with) definately summed it up nicely:

"By every economic measure known to man, Democratic Presidents have out-performed Republican Presidents. And by the way if you believe the economy was better under George W Bush than Bill Clinton you???ve got a real clear choice here.

"If you think what America needs is a tax cut for people making over half-a-million dollars a year then vote for McCain. If you think middle-class people are struggling ??? that their incomes are going down and they need help ??? vote for Obama. It???s a very simple choice".

I believe that Palin is not as radical as she has been made out to be. I am only scared by the fact that she has allowed some tired men who are anti-women (when it comes to policy) to shape her.

Palin is a throw back to feminist, she cuts programs that benifits for helping women. Her state high school graduation rate is the lowest in the nation, so what child isn't left behind? Dosen't belive in science in a time that this nation needs to catch up with the world. Will keep this nation from moving forard from the hydo-carbon economy until we run completly out and have to depend on other counties to sell us the newest technologies. Her polices and beliefs on the environment will hinder and hurt any advancement on a pressing issues that our future will depend on. On Sahra Palin I can just say no.

The only difference between Palin and Bush is LIPSTICK. The democrats need to identify that John McCain did NOT pick a MAVERICK---he picked George Bush in a skirt!
