After the outright movement by the media to destroy Sarah Palin following her nomination for VP, I stopped watching "Election Coverage"... It was a total smear campaign from the start by our Left Wing media.....
But even if you don't watch politics you can't miss what is going on... She is being crucified every where you turn.. I would have never imagined that our media was even capable of what has gone on..The media is controlling our country whether you like it or not.
Are the people of our country that gullible or will common sense prevail ?????
We can only pray that she does good in the debate this week or we are done !!

Maybe you can't blame the media. Maybe she was just a lousy choice, out of a whole country full of possible candidates. I mean, seriously: she's an expert on foreign policy because she can see Russia from Alaska? Hell...that makes me a golf pro, because I can see a golf course from my house.
She was mayor of Wasilla, and that qualifies her to be the leader of the free world? Give me a break. I grew up in a town bigger than that, and our mayor was an unpaid part-timer, selected by the City Council from among themselves.
I'm seriously P.O'd at McCain for choosing her. Now if I'm going to vote for him, I have to face the fact that he's 72 years old with a history of cancer, and if something happens to him before she gets up to speed she'll be president anyway.
I hope to God she does do well in the debate, because I really need for her to reassure me a little.
^ YGBSM, sir. Sarah was a great choice, and the media has initiated the most agressive attempt I've ever seen (EVER) to personally attack her. They've tried their best to come up with something bad and they've come up with squat all save their chanting. Yes, they have their first amendment rights (which we can't interfere with, despite barack hussein's attempts), but that doesn't mean I have to either like, endorse, or respect what they're doing (or not take the opportunity at every turn to speak out against an extremely biased media--I have my first amendment rights too). Despite all the pro hussein infomercials, the manstream media has done nothing but discredit itself (and make most of us see it for what it's worth). She's still a great choice, and will be our first woman president.
Actually, when you can see Russia from your house, that gives you what we call empathy, ownership, and connection with your electorate--you aren't some removed washington lawyer who could give a hoot about anyone but himself. You've a stake in the deal. Your family is involved. You're flying the airplane with your wife and kids in the back. You stand to lose or gain too. Putin could be having breakfast in your living room. So you actually CARE about someone--what a concept for a politician ! You actually have convictions to a cause greater than yourself--what a novel concept. I don't think barack hussein gives a hoot about anything except barack hussein and HIMSELF. Sarah does, and therein lay the difference.
She's far more credentials than barack hussein, and has actually done something with her life. She's actually run something, and, unlike barack hussein, isn't someone who's simply given pretty speeches and acted out of political expediency to further his own career (I personally don't think barack hussein has EVER had the courage to take a stand that might hurt barack hussein--nor will he ever). She also is a person of principle and character who's willing to take a stand--not blow with the wind to garner votes. She actually has integrety.
If this is the media you're getting lately, your TV and Radio must have a feed from a completely different planet than mine for sure !

I happen to love the fact that she's not part of the D.C. "good ole boy club". I personally like the fact that she's "real" and has a lot of the same values as myself, my family, and my friends. We've all seen how well the "experienced" Washington pols. have handled our country . If she does end up in the big chair, how could she do any worse than our previous leaders? At least we know that she respects our rights...
Se's a staunch member of a political party, ie. Republicans, and is part of the "Good Ol' Boy Club". Same goes with the Democrats. When you get that far up in politics, you're a member. Everything that comes your way has paybacks attached. That's the nature of the game. They just become prostitutes for their political parties, saying and doing whatever the party tells them to, up to and including doling out favors to other members of the "Good Ol' Boy Club".
The Liberal controlled MSM can't seem to get past her having been a pageant contestant - TWENTY years ago. Worst they can come up with is a pic of her in a swimsuit......
I'd hate to see Hillary or that cow Pelosi dressed similarly.
There are a lot of candidates who had little prior experience - Ronald Reagan for instance. Next to no 'Foreign Policy' experience before assuming the Office - then he went on to destroy the Soviet Union (the 'Evil Empire').
What, constructively speaking, has Barry or Biden actually DONE?
Besides making irritating arses of themselves......
Point is..... The media has condemed her to the whole country..... Who really knows about her ?? I don't, and I will not except the lies that the media has concocted ....
She and McCain are getting my vote no matter what...
I love the fact she is not a lawyer or a part of the "Washington Elite".
Give me someone with common sense who will work for the people, not to take the position of President to pad their resume and lust for power.
Very well said, Larry.
These "experts" in warshington have screwed the old poocheroni about as much as they could. Now they're using our money to bail out their and their friends' personal fortunes--under the guise of "they know what's best for us" (aka "let's cover our tracks"). They're even hedging that "it may not be enough or may not work" because they know damn well they've sold the country down the river and can't fix it now--they're just trying not to lose THEIR cash.
Anyway, I'll welcome anyone (like Sarah) who hasn't been a part of that to clean it up. I strongly believe barack hussein has been a career politician, doing absolutely nothing of value in life and only trying to foster his own personal career--at the expense of humanity. He epitomises the cause of our problems, not the solution. Sarah on the other hand is the real deal--a person of conviction, character, and integrety who wants to make things better, not feather her own nest with our cash.
It ain't over until it's over, and there are alot of good, wholesome people in America. People who won't vote for the likes of barack hussein.
McC/Palin all the way !

The media might have been a little negative on her, but she does a lot to give herself a negative image. Like her views on abortion and abstinence. A lot of women don't like her because of it. I'm not too thrilled about that either. Men tend to like her because she has bewbs.... And the way she answers questions so poorly is not comforting at all. That's not the media. That's her. Can't always blame stuff on the media.
^ I can call "foul" when our major media sources are effectively giving us a modern day version of the propaganda of Gobel. Can't stop them, but certainly can exercise my first amendment right to raise the flag to what they've been doing.
You're definition of "a little" is quite interesting--might be alot like mine when I've had to tell someone we're "a little" low on fuel, you're "a little" low on altitude, you wound up in "a little" thunderstorm, we've got "a little" problem or you landed "a little" fast there.
If I'm saying it, it's more than "a little." Maybe like "way much." Kind of being "a little" preggers.
Most of the real women I know are cheering Sarah on.

They have people going through her families garbage trying to find something on her. And now they have some clowns talking to the commie that beat McCain for 6 years in the pow camp and guess what he says they were great buddies and no harm came to him in that time unless he fell down? YEA LIKE I BELIEVE THAT FROM SOME MURDERING COMMIE JERK. The damn Dems have no shame any dirty trick they can do. And watch they will cheat their way through this election, its started already. You can register and vote the same day in ohio. Here's what a sample reg. looks like
Name Mickey Mouse
address 123 Disneyland drive
well looks ok to me let him vote. Damn crooks they ought to hang the first voter cheat out side the booths and maybe they would think twice before cheating.

My wife. Women who can do it all. Manage their careers and family, and be women of principle, integrety, and substance. Women who do the right thing when no one's watching. Women who DEAL WITH IT and GET 'R DONE--not whine about how life has given them a tough deal. Strong women--like my great grandma who could manage a farm, 13 kids, a house, campaign for women's suffrage, and ACT as equals to anyone (not whine about how she's being "put down."). In short, a good person of faith and character who is a doer.
Not feminazis who whine and lament how bad their plight in the world is and beehatch about everything in the world. These souls might deserve our pity, but not our ear or vote.

I'm not saying she's not all those things, but that doesn't qualify her to be in that position. I don't think she's ready right now and she's really starting to scare me. Maybe 4 years from now she'll be ready, but not now. She is not confident at all in her interviews. You can tell by her body language that she's uncomfortable. That's scary. I'm looking forward to the VP debate more than the Prez debate. We'll see how she does then.
Well, I believe she's one hell of alot more ready than hussein, and has actually done something other than go along with the party and vote "present" when he was afraid to do even that. She's shown leadership, and I very much disagree with your assessment based on your perception of her body language (and I'm not trying to be mean here--I've had to assess individuals using body language combined with other indicators in very stressful and dynamic situations throughout my career in combat and flight instruction--so I do have some idea). I can actually trust her, not hussein. I'd sure as hell trust her more than hussein as a wingman if we were heading into combat. I personally believe hussein would turn tail and run at the first inkling of personal risk. He strikes me as that kind of guy. I trust Palin not to crack under pressure. When I look at hussein's body language, it's pretty damn staged and condesending--out for good old barry and no one else. Anyway, you're more than welcome to vote any way you see fit. We somewhat older folks who've gotten some experience and sense out of life will be voting McC/Palin.
Neither candidate scares me--it's getting tougher to get scared these days. I do see however some exceedingly bad things happening to both our country and liberty if hussein does get in, and I really don't want to see America go down the tubes both for my and my families (and children's) sake. Yes, I think our family will survive a country that does come apart, but I'd rather not have that happen if it doesn't have to. If hussein gets in, I see it as a definite possibility.
Anyway, Cheers (and I'm not trying to be mean, only accurate ).

When did I say I was voting for Obama? If you check my history you would see otherwise. Anyways, if I did vote for Obama my vote wouldn't count. It's the electoral college that makes the "real" vote. And Texas is historically a Republican state. I don't think that will change in this election. In my field, I also do quite a bit of assessment of body language, tone of voice, and language. Also being a woman, I like to think that I have intuitions above and beyond the average male for being able to assess people in that manner. What I see is apprehension, you don't see that because you're in love.
A little apprehension is good. I do alot of this too, and also realize that I can be fooled so need to look at some other cues (and can STILL be wrong !). I can seem very calm when I'm scared to death, and you probably wouldn't know this unless you were my wife (or knew me very well) or took a gander at my pulse or BP (or hand skin temp). The tape of the engine out landing of the F-16 is worth listening to--you can hear stress in the Flight Lead's voice (that's what a fighter pilot's voice sounds like when under stress if you haven't heard it) as well as being busy with task management in the voice of the pilot who's engine has failed (i.e. the short, terse, "I'm busy" responses). We had to do alot of this when instructing, and read between the lines. It was something I grew to enjoy a great deal (much like asking someone questions to draw them to their own conclusion that you think is obvious, but maybe only to you). One of the most rewarding times of my career--help someone go from almost no flying experience to being able to fly a jet 3 feet from another one through some pretty aggressive maneuvers in a few months. Or help someone develop their perception, demeanor, and skill set to become an awesome instructor.
Anyway, Sarah I think is just fine. A little nervousness in front of threats is a healthy thing, and she doesn't put on a facade typical of many feminazis which are only cover-ups for their incredible insecurity. This is what I've found interesting in the mainstream media--the caustic attacks which are driven by the attacker's fear and insecurity (for me it's been pretty easy to see through this, as well as the fawning obama infomercials). If anything, Palin has a more human and one of us quality for this, and I think it'll serve her well. Being able to see russia from your house might seem comical from the writers of SNL, but has a deeper and more legitimate meaning libs didn't see when they wrote the line--it's not really a joke. If you're a congresswoman whose house is 500 feet from a nuclear power plant, I'll bet you're pretty serious about nuclear safety.
Anyway, the only woman I'm in love with lives right here with me (not that women don't sense my power and seek the life essence ).
