- trolleyfan, on 09/01/2008, -0/+1Ah!! Another reason not to vote for her...or McCain.
Fundamentalists of all religions should be banned from holding office and voting - for they are demonstrably insane. - trolleyfan, on 09/03/2008, -0/+1Yes, I am serious. If you can look at all the evidence of the world...and see a magic sky guy in it...you are delusional. Period.
- inactive, on 09/01/2008, -0/+1Precisely.
Can you Digg it? - tribulation, on 09/04/2008, -0/+0I don't believe in female leadership. What I mean is, women leading a country or states.Haven't you seen those GOP women
in the picture in defense of Palin, they look tough. Are they feminists? Most feminists are lesbians, I guess.If Palin had only a very short hair, she would look like them. - dgsmithmd, on 09/02/2008, -0/+0Are you serious? Looks like you don't know much about it. How about Martin Luther King Jr., Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, John Adams, Patrick Henry, Christopher Columbus, Isaac Newton, Galileo among many, many others.
- NetWorthBrokers, on 09/05/2008, -0/+0 "What's the difference between Sarah Palin and Barack Obama?"
"One is a well turned-out, good-looking, and let's be honest, pretty sexy piece of eye-candy."
"The other kills her own food." - tribulation, on 09/04/2008, -0/+0The feminists of this country want to rule America.It is wrong.Let men lead.Don't encourage the future generation of girls to lead and to rule over man.It's very wrong.Wake up feminists! Face reality! Let the race of Adam lead not Eve.
- a123non, on 09/02/2008, -0/+0Yeah! Anyone with strong beliefs should have a bullet put in their head...I strongly feel that way...crap, where is my gun...
- HughRuss, on 09/05/2008, -0/+0MXIDreamTeam... wow.
Why Sarah Palin should never have been vetted (and a testament to why McCain/Palin shouldn't be voted into office):

OH! I get it!! MXI is, of course, being sarcastic about being sarcastic... thus you should vote for Obama/Biden.
It took a journalism B.A. not even 2 years to embellish her record, and then dive into the olympic swimming pool of scandal (one even Phelps couldn't swim through). Yes, that's right, while Barack Obama was pushing through Harvard Law School (where he graduate magna cum laude, and president of his class) Sarah Palin was being elected Miss Congeniality, in fact... it took her 6 years to receive a bachelors degree in journalism. I'm 3 years and 1 semester into my college tenur, and at the end of this semester I will obtain my Bachelors. How could it take me half the time it took her to obtain a degree in LAW (a much more difficult degree than Journalism, in which I double majored)?
So to wrap that up, Palin is buried in scandal, she took time and a half what it normally takes to receive a bachelors degree in Journalism (a field not wholly related to politics), she was a sports reporter while Barack Obama was giving back to his community, and while she used political whistle blowing to further her political clout, Barack was a state senator, then became a UNITED STATES senator.
One quote I'll steal from Jon Stewart, who had a great opinion on the matter, a clip of Palin saying:
Palin: "Being a mayor is kind of like being a community organizer, except, being mayor has actual responsibilities!"
Stewart: "Yeah! So, all those giving back to their communities, trying to make them better... ***** YOU!"
THAT's the kind of tenacity we want in the white house... huh? - HughRuss, on 09/05/2008, -0/+0I have set the cause for Wome's Rights and Equality back 100 years? How in the world could I accomplish that? Because I said she governs on the curves of emotion (using political power to settle personal vendettas)? Never once did I say that she isn't qualified because she is a women, nor did I allude to her being unelectable because of her gender.
The fact that rabblerousers for McCain say whomever attacks Palin is sexist is absolutely ridiculous.
It seems anybody who is honestly thinking about voting for Palin --even in light of her *actual* scandalous behavior (not like the no-watered attacks tossed at Obama)--are doing so just because of her gender. If McCain picked Palin just because of her gender (which, as it appears he did), seems like a high-handed slap to the face for all the Hillary supporters out there.
And to imply that *I* alone set women's rights back is completely unfounded. To give the impression that I am sexist because of the *FACTS* I presented about Palin's long-standing record of High-Minded infallibility is ludicrous. - MXIDreamTeam, on 09/05/2008, -0/+0Of course these comments are sacastic intended to point out the strength of Sarah Palin's lerdership.
We all support Palin as the best thing since Ronald Regan to happen for the benefit of the nation and the Republican Party.
Go Sarah!! - MXIDreamTeam, on 09/05/2008, -0/+0HughRoss: You have set the cause for Women's Rights and Equality back at least 100 years.
Nevertheless, there is much to admire about both candidates.
This is a historic race and I have only good will toward both candiates. - HughRuss, on 09/05/2008, -0/+0I should point this out:
Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, John Adams, Galileo, Isaac Newton were all far from fundamentalists. In some cases (in particular, Galileo's), some had to rebel against religion, and would be sanctioned because of this rebelling.
Lest you forget, dgsmithmd, Washington and Adams were drafters of the constitution, and they agreed upon the first amendment where the Government should make no law establishing or abridging any religion (leading to the separation of church from state), and reading Lincoln's debates, it's ostensibly clear that he wasn't exactly the most frequent practitioner of the "Good book."
Now, a fundamentalist on the other hand (especially the most powerful one--according to your assesment at least-- in american history with the military backing) would push to have a Christian nation... indeed the majority of the framers were Christians. HOWEVER, they weren't so crazy as to make a Christian Heritage Week.
Think of the individuals she is leaving out:
Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, Taoists, Sikhs, the list goes on.
What about their heritage? Should we not celebrate theirs because the framers never made commentary about 'em? (The Proclamations made by the founding fathers were taken obtrusively out of context, which says something about the writer of the document...)
I look forward to the day where mankind will break free from the restrictive ligatures of religion. Until then, we are always in a state of abyssmal recessive progress. - MXIDreamTeam, on 09/03/2008, -1/+0Sarah Palin's faith and Life Time NRA member will go along way in attracting conservatives.
I support Sarah Palin as an exciting choice for Vice President.
