Within the past week two Conservatives have spoken out against Palin

I still can't get over her foreign policy experience, it makes me laugh every time. If McCain would have shown good judgement he would have picked someone that also did well in the primaries, but he has proved time and time again that quick decisions are the best and just deal with it being a bad decision.

I agree with you. The choice of Palin may be the single biggest mistake in judgement that McCain has made. I read that he has a tendecy to shoot from the hip. One comment was the issue of "gambler" versus "rebel." We don't need a gambler ... it looks like he gambled on going to Washington and the bailout and he gambled on Palin. My belief is he lost on both.

It is all amazing isn't it? lol I threw in the approval rating just because I stumbled upon it and had enough for the "she's the most popular governor" comments. Like that's a great thing, please, she handed over $3,300 to every man, woman, and child I would like her too if she handed my family $16,000 for doing nothing. I think Parker did a great job summing it up and it's awesome because she's a woman and a conservative!

I was a Hillary fan as well. I didn't want to support Obama but I read up on him and decided he was better. I haven't read The Handmaid's Tale but I seen you mention it before and I have it on my list of books to read and hope to get it within the next few weeks. I think McCain picked her because she is a far right woman and he was losing the far right.

I feel sorry for her to a point but, she either has a thrist for power or she is too stupid to figure out that politics on a national level is not for her. I prefer to think of it as the thrist because I don't like to think of women as stupid. I could be wrong and even on both parts, I mean it could be a ploy that she is weak in the IQ department. I am very happy that she is a conservative lol.

"I hate to be the messenger Taskr but, the liberals here have all agreed, mostly of course I can't speak for every liberal but the ones I talk with here, that it is sad as to what is being done to her: in the press, her interviews, the way she is not permitted to speak ect ect." You spend too much time on mylot for me to believe you think that. Therefore, it's a lie. The liberals here on mylot have attacked her repeatedly. The haven't said it's "sad" what's being done to her. They are saying that she can't handle an interview and rather than watch entire interviews most of the liberals here just look at the clips on youtube that show her only when she stumbles. I'll believe that some liberals have been sympathetic, but most are downright hateful towards her. "Parker made the comment about Palin dropping out to help with her family and, I can tell you right now, not one liberal would talk crap about that." That's not true. Liberals would jump all over it to say she couldn't handle the stress of the campaign. Many more would say McCain was a fool for choosing her without properly vetting her. They would continue to attack her until the election was over and people gradually forgot about her. "I couldn't tell you about conservatives because I mostly feel that conservatives appear to sort of heartless for lack of a better term, sorry, no offense." I haven't seen conservatives being heartless towards her the way liberals have. "Quite frankly I only included her Alaskan approval rating because I was so sick of hearing/seeing conservatives rave about her approval rating but fail to add the $3,300 per person she hands over as a royality check every year. Think about it if I gave you $3,300 a year for doing nothing, wouldn't you think favorably of me as well?" Can you provide me with a valid source making this claim? I've seen it made twice and nobody provided proof. In addition to proving this money given, can you also prove that it is Palin directly making this happen? If it's been going on since before she was governor than it is something people expect and not something she would get credit for in relation to her approval ratings.

I couldn't tell you about conservatives because I mostly feel that conservatives appear to sort of heartless for lack of a better term, sorry, no offense. As for your statement about "I really expect Sarah Palin to surprise people at the debates (...)" I already commented above that it could be a ploy. I don't know I sure hope for the conservative side that it is a ploy. Quite frankly I only included her Alaskan approval rating because I was so sick of hearing/seeing conservatives rave about her approval rating but fail to add the $3,300 per person she hands over as a royality check every year. Think about it if I gave you $3,300 a year for doing nothing, wouldn't you think favorably of me as well?

Against my better judgement I will respond to you. First off I'm very glad you know what kind of person I am. I'm really glad that you know what's in my thinking, since you're so much wiser than everyone else and apparently have Bush's ability of seeing peoples souls than maybe you should use your powers for good and give McCain some insight on what is in the President of Irans brain, and add Pakistan's President as well since those could be helpful for him to win the coming election. I have watched almost every interview of Palin and when I have rewatched them I went to the site of the interviewers. ABC's and CBS's. I refused to watch the Hannity interview because well my personal opinion of Hannity is he would do humanity much more justice if he was a nuclear waste handler. Your arrogance is amazing. I don't know what you consider a valid link but how about adn.com? Alaska has gotten royality checks for a very long time but, Palin increased windfall profits, which is something that Obama proposed and the conservatives cried like babies, yet another conservative does it and it makes her god. Simply amazing! I was against it when Obama proposed it and I'm against the fact that Palin did it. So anyway, with the extra $1,200 Palin gave to the citizens of Alaska on top of their royality check, each Alaskan from birth to deaths door received a check for $3,300. So considering my family of 5 would get $16,500 you can bet your butt that even though I'm against everything Palin stands for, I would have a favorable view of her as well. http://www.adn.com/front/story/474869.html

Allowing a person whom is clearly out of her "comfort zone" campaigning for a position that they should not be in. Palin is trying to deal with press questions that aren't even hard and will if elected have a lot harder questions that will come from more powerful people than the press. Insanity made be a harsh word but, I will say this about using that term, where would she in her right mind thinking that being close to Russia makes her a perfect person for foreign policy?

Give her a chance to improve. Biden has made mistakes Indeed this is some talk that he might be replaced

The only ones that seem to be talking about it is conservatives and those are the exact same people that said Hillary would go to the DNC and "cause trouble".

I just wish he wouldn't have choosen one so arrogent. I know that there were some better female candidates that he could have picked.

I am considering voting for a 3rd party as a statement that I am not happy with the candidates presented. Maybe in time it would make a difference. But no one can say that she isn't like a canned email answer from a website.

It was at that point that I had lost interest in what she had to say during the debate (I didn't know that most of what she was saying was wrong until after). She lost me there and I had your same reaction. You could always vote third party. I don't know much about them so please don't ask me lol.
