Sister, Sister

to cbr1965 - Oh please. What is sad is when only liberal women can represent all women. When liberal women are the only smart women. It's sad when any republican running is either stupid or unqualified as defined just by the open- minded liberal. I don't know what republican friends you have, but my smart, intelligent, hard-working, successful, well-educated and moral friends think the type of hate your spread is ignorant!

Obama on the defensive. "When I told ACORN to register the dead to vote, I meant the Grateful Dead" said the candidate in downtown Cleveland today.

the republican party is like a company that is selling a bad product to the public and the public find out that the product is bad and stop buying it, so the company repackage and rename the product, and call it the maverick but its the same bad product Bush.
Mccain is nothing more then a republican gimmick- after eight years of bad republicans policies , the republicans just rename their product to sale to the unexpected public the same old fail policies renamed and call MCCAIN the maverick. what a joke.

to fccFH - I could not disagree with you more. You call anyone who disagrees with you names. You show such a lack of respect for others. I have not read an opinion by you that I found to be intelligent and objective. Actually in truly intelligent people those characteristics go hand in hand. I don't like saying unkind things about others but you have such an obnoxious attitude towards anyone who thinks differently.

Why are republicans so hate filled?

Gotta love that half hour Obama ad the Taliban paid for last night. Best part of it was how Michelle Obama's pappy's pics were clipped at the head so we couldn't see the kill whitey black power tee shirts.

Obama on the defensive. "When Mr. Ayers told me years ago that he regretted the extent of his group's terrorist activities, I thought that he was being remorseful. I did not realize that he meant he was sorry they had not killed more people." said the candidate today in Cleveland.

I consider myself to be a very liberal and committed democrat. I was at first shocked by the naming of Palin as the veep for McPain. Then, I realized that by launching her those clever republicans showed us this year's biggest swift boat effort. Lo and behold, Sarah herself is the swift boat.
But be that as it may, I will say a couple of things on her behalf. I would venture to guess she's a fairly decent person, albeit worlds away from my own politics. She's clever, she's probably quite charming if you were to meet her in person, and in a social situation she probably can be fun.
My big criticism of her is that she is about as far away as you can get from being a viable future president. To invest her with that power is not just foolish, it's insanity to a degree never before seen. That's why we do not want McSame in power, it's too dangerous allowing her to be there as well.

Pallin has a thicker resume than NObama for God's sake, and she has more executive experience . . . so what is there about this that is so hard for many angry NObama Bloggers to understand?

GET OVER THE FACT THAT McCAIN PICKED SOMEONE FOR VP WHO IS BETTER QUALFIED THAN THE DEMOCRATIC CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT!

THE DIFFERENCES IN MCCAIN'S VP CHOICE AND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY'S CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT ARE SIGNIFICANT:

#1. EXPERIECE (PALLIN IS BETTER QUALIFIED), #2. THE VP=ABSOLUTE WOMAN, NOBAMA= STUFFED SHIRT. #3. VP=AVERAGE INCOME WITH LITTLE $$$$$ TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE CAMPAIGN, WHEREAS NOBAMA HAS COLLECTED TONS & TONS OF MONEY, FROM STUDENTS AND FIRST TIME VOTERS(?)

ARE YOU GOING TO LET NOBAMA BUY HIS SPACE IN THE PRESIDENT'S OFFICE? THAT IS NOT HOW AN ELECTION IS SUPPOSED TO WORK. . . BUT THEN THERE IS SUCH A CONCEPT AS "DIRTY CHICAGO POLITICS."

I wish we could do away with Repubs and Dems all together. This year should prove beyond any other that these two men running for President have completely difference views on the way America should be run. I personally feel that Sarah Palin will be great in 10 years. It's a shame that she decided to jump on a sinking ship and I hope she and her family do not regret it. This election will come down to where you think the country needs to go. I don't know why the US buys the "trickle down" effect. Bottom lin is if the middle class cannot afford to go shopping the small business's along with the large companies will all suffer as a result. Middle America needs relief and I don't feel like the Republican views align with helping me. If the rich want to make more money and not pay more they need to move out of the counrty and stop complaining. I am a former Repub that voted for Bush 2X but this year... Obama/Biden 08!

More and more, I wonder about Todd Palin's behind - the - scenes role in everything significant that seemed to happen in state govt. in Alaska. Won't he be a stitch as "First Dude"?

I'm glad for the far right getting a woman representative for their views, its only fair and it's what this country is based on.

Regarding her world view, her politics and manipulation of her sex appeal to get ahead. We women can just agree to disagree. I find several things about her world view and how she chooses to get a head morally repugnant. Her narrow views and the possibility of someone with her limited experience possibly being catapulted to President of the United States - that I find horrifying.

Anti-intellectualism is not a winning tactic, mediocrity is not where I want the country to go. Our children our future deserve better and so I am wholeheartedly out there canvassing and doing whatever I can to get Obama elected. It's time for excellence to be America's guidepost again.

And you probably loved Bill Clinton with his $400 haircuts and swaggering personality. He did a lot for the moral reputation of our country in the world view. Now Sarah is criticized because she is attractive..why can't we just be like men? Do you care about Obama's haircut? Personally, I think if he let it grow a little longer, his ears would't look so big!

I think women are far smarter than to just jump on the Sarah Palin bandwagon because she's a woman. I would love to have a woman in a President or Vice President role but I don;t see how putting someone who is short-sighted, who does not reflect many women's viewpoints and has a total lack of intellectual curiosity about what happens in the world into one of those jobs. To compare Hillary and Sarah Palin is incomprehensible - Hillary was qualified, Palin most definitely is not. She has charges hanging over her head in Alaska after being on the job a short time - and has shown her "old school politics" by appointing not the most qualified people into positions of power in Alaska, but long-time friends instead. I think comparing her government experience to Hillary's is like comparing an elementary school student's homework to that of a PhD student at MIT or Stanford. I am embarrassed that the best woman McCain could come up with is Palin - it just shows how little he thinks of women's intelligence and knowledge of worldwide and domestic issues. He thought he he could pick up Hillary voters with her? I think she is a laughingstock, even among my Republican friends - smart, informed and articulate women. Sarah Palin may be intelligent, I personally see her skill set as politically savvy more than intelligent but due to her lack of coherence, the Republicans give her the dirty job of repeating her "attack dog" mantras. It's a sad time for women in this country to be represented by the likes of Palin. She alone determined that I would cross party lines and vote for Obama.

to tiredoflies: If you are so tired of them why do you spread them. I hope young people are not deceived by your drivel.

If these women don't say Palin would be a complete disaster for our country, you didn't get the smartest women.
