The clean version.

I wonder how many of these Hollyweird goofs that are slamming her had even heard of her two months ago?

I think they are so fearful of her popularity, of which may be equal or higher than Obama's, that they are pulling out anything that they can to try to save their buddy Obama. They know she is a serious threat otherwise they wouldn't be wasting the energy that they are on her.

Just a thought, no musician or celebrity could ever influence my voting decisions.

    No one had heard of her two months ago. She scares the hell out of me. I just can't find common ground with her on anything. Let's not forget the fact McCain will be just about 73 if he wins. There's a chance he'll die in office. Then what? We are stuck with this nutjob..... The Earth is 6,000 years old? Fossils...

    "Fossils were placed here by the Lord to test our faith."

    Yeah, because God or whoever had nothing better to do than go around pranking the planet...

    C'mon. She governs probably the last great wilderness in the western world, and she wants to fuck it over for the last few drops of oil. Unbelievable.

    Then why are you so upset when they express their opinion? Are we goofs for expressing ours on here? Their forum is just bigger, they have a right to express, you have a right to ignore. The "shut up and sing" people just dont know how to deal.

    As far as Palin..PJ Gurl pretty much sums it up.

    Has anyone even mentioned Palin in the past week? It seems like bigger things have taken precedence in the news, so McCain's not going to be able to ride that wave of popularity. Liberal and independent women have not really been flocking to her either. She was a success if she was meant to energize the conservative base, but a failure if she was meant to get a lot of liberals and independents to come her way.

    she's only a serious threat because too many of our USA flag pin wearing redneck idiots identify with her. the same people that got Bush elected will once again come out strong. she's a fucking joke and yes, she scares the shit out of me.

    The Dirty version

    Did any one happen to mention to you that she will be meeting with Bono, singer, musician, songwriter of a rock band and world activist on her so called -foreign policy experience- trip to NY? Bono is there by invitation of various UN delegates, Palin is there for show, more like a star struck fan, as she has nothing to offer these world leaders. I'm sure she has consulted with her witch doctor pastor for advice.

    dude ... she's been barely governor of alaska for 2 years - in that span she's been able to get herself into 2 scandals ... she thinks the iraq war was an act of god and that dinosaurs don't exist ...

    she knows nothing about anything outside of alaska ... GWB was a governor too - and he was nowhere fit to be president of the united states ... she is in the same mold ... ignorant of issues outside their own little world ...

    She has more exec experience (8 years) than Obama (zero years). Fact.

    so, if i manage a hot dog stand for 2 years in the middle of nowhere - and you worked at all kinds of restaurants in big cities at various levels ... i'd be more qualified to run a new restaurant because i've had more managerial experience?

    context ... but i can tell from your response that you don't really want to hear it ...

    That's it, that's all you got, she has 'executive' experience. Well screw America because all those Wall Street financial people have more 'executive' experience than we can calculate. Bush and his Administration have more 'executive' experience at their disposal than the imagination can comprehend - and LOOK at the MESS this COUNTRY is in. Go executive experience.

    If you want to look at it realistically, those restaurants that you've been working at in the big cities are all losing money, make terrible food, and treat their customers poorly...

    Then yes, I want the hot dog stand owner to get a shot and fixing a systemic problem...you can't fix a systemic problem with people that are part of the problem. That goes for McCain and Biden mostly...and Obama has his share as well.

    I bet many republicans are really wishing they had nominated Mitt Romney right now with the Economy being the #1 issue...I know I wish they had.

    Obama has no exec experience. You can demean Alaska all you want (don't be surprised if the majority of Americans don't like that). It doesn't change the fact that she has 8 years of governing experience. Moreover, the economies she has governed have performed relatively well. Clearly, you don't like her or her policies. Fair enough. But, try to be objective; she has more experience than Obama.

    Executive experience is very important...and Palin does have more of it then anyone else in the race from the 2 major parties.

    That being said, leadership is probably even more important...who can lead, who has a vision, who inspires? That's Obama's edge.

    But another portion of leadership is showing decision making ability and getting things accomplished...McCain has the better record here working bi-partisan...Obama talks of working with republicans, but his voting record shows that he has little experience with this and (when he actually does vote) he is always voting with the Dems.

    So, let's take Palin's energy and executive experience....Obama's leadership and style...and McCain's straight talk all rolled up into 1. ;)

    Yeah, and there are "execs" with "experience" who have made bad enough decisions over the past 8 years to put us in a war that costs a trillion dollars a month - from which we gain nothing but dead citizens and soliders, and an unprecedented bailout of private business by out government. So what does "exec experience" have to do with the sucessful governing of our country?

    Why don't you for once take a look at intelligence and decision making abilities? There's a backlash against intellectualism in this country.
    That's what put W in the White House, that and manufactured FEAR.

    People are afraid of what they don't understand. Gore was an intellectual, Kerry was an intellectual, Obama is an intellectual. Why don't you McPalin supporters admit that what you're really afraid of is people with brain power....?

    I'm referring to mayor/governor/president of a geographical area. You should care because it's direct experience to the job being applied for.
