To me she was just a whiney bitch that couldn't raise to the level of Obama and Biden's shoe laces. A 9th grader could have pulled off the pre scripted one liners she was given. Wait until she has to answer some hard questions.

Palin - Against abortion even in cases of rape and incest. Doesn't want to teach evolution in schools. Didn't we try this approach w/Bush? Let's appoint people to important posts in this country simply because they share the same religious beliefs (in this case McCain was trying to shore up the rel. right and win Hillary voters).

No thanks. We need more rational thought in this country not less. Politically it might be savvy, but it's not what the country needs.

I'll vote for whoever wants to treat the deficit seriously. Ron Paul will be my protest vote.

More things to learn about Sarah Palin

For those of you who think that all of the opposition to Sarah Palin is from "leftwing" nuts; the following is a list of books that she tried to get banned when she was mayor of Wasilla. I am not sure that Mark Twain, William Shakespeare, Maya Angelou and Geoffrey Chaucer would be considered dangerous to children. Judy Blume give me a break. Harry Potter, who is kidding who. I also fail to see how Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary by the Merriam-Webster Editorial Staff should be banned.

This information is taken from the official minutes of the Wasilla Library Board. [emphasis added] When the librarian refused Palin tried to get her fired as she did with the Safety Director of the State who refused to fire a trooper who was
getting a vicious divorce from her sister

She also told her Assembly of God Church in June 2008 that it is "God's Will" that the federal government contribute to the expansion of the Alaska pipeline. (Must have been talking to George Bush). She sounds like one of those lawyers Bush put into the justice department.

This is the list of books Palin tried to have banned. As many of you will notice it is a hit parade for book burners.
