Sarah Palin is the butt of so many jokes, I'm just sick of it. But I'm sick of it because I don't understand it. What's so bad about Palin? I don't like McCain or Obama. But I like Biden's foreign policy a lot, as well as his take or general foreign... stuff. I dunno. And I like Palin too because she's less of a Politician and more of a... whatever someone is when they're less of a politician.

Okay, so I'm not thinking this out much as I type, but I'm still very adamant!

I would totally go for a Palin/Biden or Biden/Palin ticket. (But not as much as I'd go for a BLT right now, or maybe a Ron Paul ticket...)

Why are people suspected as being racist for not supporting Obama, yet I have yet to hear anyone being suspected sexist for being against Palin?

I went to Zazzle (make-your-own-online-T-Shirts) and checked out their Palin T-shirts. They were mean and cocky and punchy and ill-placed. I'm still trying to figure out what's wrong with those shirts. It was like seeing anti-Keebler-Elf bumper stickers and all you can do it wonder what the heck have I not heard about those elves that I'm seeing all this crap against them.

I don't know! Argh! I'm ranting! Screw both parties! I want to vote American!

and I'm not proofreading this!

I voted for Hillary Clinton in the Democratic Party. It's not a matter of being sexist, but Sarah Palin does not display the type of knowledge or understanding of issues that someone should have to be a heartbeat away from the Presidency as shown in her interviews by Charlie Gibson and Katie Couric. Saying that THIS woman is not qualifed to be Vice-President is not sexist if one recognizes that there are other women who are well-qualified for the office.

It is not necessarily sexist to be again Palin, just as you can be against Obama without be a racist.

It is not racist to be certain that the consequences of Obama nearly doubling of capital gains will cause companies to: A) be forced to pass most if not all of the increase to consumers by increasing the prices of their goods and thus not being able to compete with foreign-made products, or B) export more jobs to other countries with lower tax rates in order to compete on the world market with their products, or C) go out of business, all of which result in a loss of jobs.

It is not racist to be concerned about Obama’s lack of experience (having spent a total of 145 days actually attending US senate sessions), nor his 20 year association with anti-American religious people, nor his associations with former bombers, nor his association and connections to groups committing voter registration fraud.

It is not being anti-black to be concerned that he received the second largest political contributions from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and that he both opposed legislation to open up the operations of those two failed organizations and encouraged them to make bad loans, and is now supported by key officers of those organization who became multimillionaires while they ran the companies into the ground.

It is not being against Obama’s skin color to be concerned that he wants to give tax cuts to 95% of Americans when only 70% actually pay taxes, to spend massive amounts of money on various programs, and to follow the likes of Canada and the UK into government run health care that has been recognized in both of those countries as being massively costly and incapable of providing good care.

I believe capital gains taxes are paid primarily by individuals when they sell stock, etc. Why would they significantly affect activity of businesses? I don't claim to be any kind of economics expert, but the centrist policies of the Clinton Administration did a lot better for our economy than the far right-wing, "hands off" the free market approach of the last 8 years.

Barack Obama has strongly condemned the repugnant words of his former pastor Jeremiah Wright, effectively repudiated his relationship with him, and left his church. As far as any allusion to William Ayers, as has been often repeated now, Barack Obama was a young child, 8 years old, at the time of the acts of the Weather Underground criminal group in the 1960's.

As far as being anti-American goes, the membership of Todd Palin in the Alaskan Independence Party and Sarah Palin addressing that radical fringe party JUST THIS YEAR and telling them to "keep up the good work" is far more anti-American than anything that has been attributed to Barack Obama. Seriously, how can Sarah Palin have the nerve to act so patriotic and attack Obama's patriotism when she has been involved with a radical group like this that wants to tear our nation apart?

But hey TexanGuy and everyone, don't take any of this personally! People can disagree on politics and still be friends. Like Senator Obama, I'm going to keep my cool and a smile on my face!

Yeah. I wish you were right, suggesting we've had 8 years of an actual hands-off approach. That would be nice, but neither party is interested.

Who ever wins the election, we can have a day of cheering or booing or what have you, but then we'll need to settle down and get to work. If we don't like it, we can't change it, and we support those in office and we do our duty to God and our Country. We really should each be able to say "I'm going to keep my cool and a smile on my face!"

It's going to be interesting, whoever wins. I mean, each side paints the other side as terrible as they can. Do you really think Obama is out to change the nature of America to some communism? Do you really think that if (or when) President McCain falls over dead from age that Palin will subvert power to anti-american ideas? Or just be crazy-insane lady time? (Yet that's what people paint them as.)

Seriously. Obama, Biden, Palin, McCain... none of them will be THAT bad. None of them wield THAT much power. We should focus more on the proper role of government, rather than individuals, sharp-witted soundbites, and beaming faces.

What do you guys think about the rumours that Obama will be assassinated?

Assassinated by whom? I'm sure there are nut jobs who would like to assassinate either one!

I agree that the President, whoever it will be, won't be able to fulfill all of their campaign "promises"--who ever has? The Executive branch is only 1/3 of the U.S. government, and neither one is in that role yet or has been in that role, and I'm sure they will find out pretty quick just how difficult it is. Their job right now is simply to be elected, and unfortunately, the way the system currently works w/marketing, that tends to bring out the worst in candidates.

I am always perplexed by the "rich liberals" of the East Coast and Hollywood who support a Liberal like Obama (and Obama isn't "centrist" like Clinton, or McCain for that matter) who promises tax hikes for the "rich," who are pouring money into a candidate who will simply take more from them later to fulfill his "wish list" of things that sound nice but which we, as a state, can't afford right now considering our tremendous international and internal debt. But this is only a reflection of our economy as a whole, fueled by consumerism (which Bush didn't help any with, which is one reason why Bush wasn't a "true" Conservative), which says, "You want it? Go ahead and buy it--on your credit card. And buy and buy and buy..." We keep giving money to despotic places like Iran yet can't pay our own bills. We mourn the loss of American jobs and yet trust the "free market" to somehow act in the best interest of the American worker, or raise corporate taxes so high (like Texanguy said) that they will be "forced" to outsource even more jobs overseas, making the divide between rich and poor even greater in the U.S. But maybe that's the conspiracy--increase the divide (partly through unchecked immigration) in order to create unrest amongst the poor, and like Tamanny Hall, the few rich liberals can act all paternalistic to them, keeping everyone in their place while looking like benefactors. (The Democrat's wealthy leadership establishment) Or, perhaps a more Radical vision, seeking to move toward Marx's "bloody revolution." Either way, Obama and the Democrats are just as hypocritical as the Repubs, they just try to look "cooler." At least you know what you get w/the Repubs, and I feel--currently--McCain & Palin are looking out for and in touch with the "common man" more than a league of loosely-joined special "liberal" interests.

Believe me, I'm all for community development, aiding and educating the poor, improving our natural environment, justice, peace, etc, etc. But there is a fundamental question of how much of this is the role of the Federal government (and it keeps getting bigger and bigger and more "statist" w/each new administration--red or blue) and how much is the role of you and me and grass roots organizations and businesses and families and churches and sports teams and non-profits, etc., etc. Many people, it seems, would rather avoid actually getting to know their neighbor and perhaps sharing some pain, so they'd rather just give a check to the government, their Big Daddy, who "knows best" to do it for them, so they can feel like they've done their good deed for the day. But we know how efficiently and personally the government tends to handle things... "Next--#272749495..."

Never discuss politics and religion, but . . frankly I think the piling on of Sara Palin is overdone.
Im not sure I like here or not, but come on, the press are acting like a bunch of kindergartners here.
I have a lot of problems too with so called liberals who act just as bad as the right wingers they are so quick to jump all over. I just graduated from college no thanks to the some of the loony bin fringe "liberal" profs I had to put up with to get a passing grade.
