Boring.

a video has surfaced

She will make a very good VP

Why? Because she can see Canada and Russia from her house and she can shoot caribou? LOL. Americans like you are the reasons your country is failing and the world laughs at your idiocy.

If Americans want to get their country back on track and stop being the joke of the world, you guys should vote for Obama. The rest of the world pretty much loves him already because he’s not an idiot.

OBAMA 08.

heaven help our country if McCain/Palin are elected…

She is DISGUSTING!

she is discusting

well, jared, this really has nothing to do with the election and frankly it’s a bit sexist.

why not show a video of mccain or obama in a swimsuit?

i never thought i’d say this but i’m tired of all the people who objectify sarah palin. let her speak her mind and then let the american public decide if she’s ready to be vice president or not. what she looked like in 1984 wearing a red swimsuit is inconsequential.

i personally don’t think she’s all that good looking, anymore. :(

she reminds me of an actress playing in a stupid hollywood politic movie. her image is silly. McCAIN LOOKS LIKE A MUMMY. omg. She would press A RED BUTTON just to check how it works. Pure and poor parody on presidents of all times. OBAMA! GOGOGOGO!

Okay dude, you’re suddenly starting to annoy the hell outta me with this chick. No one else cares about her being some beauty pageant whatever anymore. Paleez post more celebs and leave this dope out of it. Ew

She is disgusting. People that actually support her are disgusting.

Bravo em g (#13)! Great post!

#17, Halli,
It isn’t Palin’s fault that she just now start campaigning. Would you hurl the same criticism toward Biden?

It is Palin who is treated worst by the media. Hilary was not treated terribly by the media and many people. All three–McCain, Obama and HIlary–have their worshipers and bashers. If you wanted to blame someone for Hilary’s failure to secure nomination, first blame her own party for not favoring her then blame who ever with load of money and enormous media power to back a novice politician whose resume and bio are incredibly sketchy going by the name Obama. But if you really wanted to blame someone for Hilary’s failure, blame her first. Clearly she did not have what it take to win the Democrat’s nomination. Personally I think she isn’t fit to lead. She cried when the going got tough to gain sympathetic support and she isn’t liked by majority of her peers who will become her mandarins if she’s elected.

And if you were going to argue on experience, frankly, no one except the running-for-second-term presidential candidate can claim to have experience in the job. So Palin has as fair an odd at succeeding in her VP job then possibly presidential job as the three you named, and for this reason, she should be given the same chance. As for her not answering questions, she might be one of those shrewd politicians who don’t divulge her thoughts until the time is right. Blabbers don’t make a shrew politician.

Palin has been governing Alaska. She is therefore technically the King, albeit of a small kingdom. No matter how more intelligent and experienced a mandarin is comparing to the King, he/she is still a mandarin. McCain, Hilary, Obama are mandarins to King Bush, no more no less at the moment.

yea the U.S. is so bad a nation when so many people all over the world love to be in America. With America in a temporary crisis have you read how the rest of the world are in worst situations?
England is even worried about their Olympics status.

The price tag of oil from other nations made me stop whining of what we pay here. Americans whine too much because they have not been to other nations esp 3rd world countries.

Also some need lessons in Economics 101 because what goes UP goes DOWN. There is no such thing as stable straight economy.

China may be close in superpower that of the U.S. but some need to remember what happened to U.S.S.R. aka communism.

who the hell cares about this republican trash! i cant even stand to listen to her–her accent is god awful.

Basing on the debate no wonder no Law Firm hired Obama because even my cousin a lawyer is smarter than him and can debate better than him. He looks rattled,irritated,stutters too much,has no eye contact because it means he is not genuine and classic signs of lying.

typicl loud lefties even Hollywooders including the media will brainwash everyone that Obama tops this election when the silent patriots will still go for McCain and Palin.

Dont underestimate the power of many Christians in America.

The media has been preaching Kerry and Gore will crush the Republicans when they were wrong.
Same with the media preaching how Bustamante will crush the Republican Terminator Governor when again they were so WRONG.

oh god this woman is so freakin ridiculous.

em g,

Hilary was not a sore loser but in complaining (and crying) she showed that she can’t be president.

I agree Obama has enjoyed kid glove treatment from the media.

she has too be the most ridiculous person in politics. how the hell anyone supports this woman is beyond me!

dumb azz ho. her special baby will love being abandoned.

man I would never vote for mccain/palin and I am a australian

dear angela- both harvard and yale are
`private schools and thus to go there you must pay a lot , or be brilliant enough to receive a `private
scholarship- like obama did- so stop it with “my tax dollars” please!

Katherine,

There millions of teenage mothers in this country. Obviously sex education and condoms don’t work.

Palin is entitled to have and hold fast to her values many of which she, like most of us who have erred, learned (or returned to) after erring.

It is you who are hidebound and sadly the very thing you accused Palin of being.

This whole race would be funny if there wasn’t a real possiblity that this former beauty pageant contestant could actually wind up ruling our country. Her biggest claim to fame is that she can see Russia from her house. A few weeks ago, nobody even knew who she was. Now she’s ready to take on the second hardest job in America? Maybe even in the world? Loving the hypocricy here.

Wish the Palin-ites would shut up though. Palin’s being handled with kid gloves from all sides (the Republicans, the “moral” Evangelical Christians, the media, even the Democrats have to watch what they say) yet at the first sign of injustice, everyone yells “sexist”. Women’s rights are all about being treated as men’s equals. Which means Hilary, McCain, Obama AND Palin should all be recieving the same amount of criticism, despite their gender.

A beauty pageant runner-up who cannot complete a sentence and only commands a mediocre grasp of the English language.

Where is the video in church where she’s having witches or something cast out or she’s being exorcised?

McCain is an absolute loose cannon and, yes, in his particular case is too old and inconsistent to briefly lead this nation before falling ill to a more cancer recurrence and having his job land in this woman’s lap.

Wake-up, America, before it’s too late!

not on her SIDE…TEAM OBAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA =]

There millions of teenage mothers in this country. Obviously sex education and condoms don’t work.

What a ridiculous thing to say. Of course they work, they work for millions of women around the world. Those that do get pregnant either have unprotected sex or forget to or do not understand how to properly and responsibly use contraception.

DO you suggest an abstinence only approach than? A lot of good that did Sarah’s daughter.

The VP debates will be hilarious. Sarah’s gonna talk about shooting moose and how visiting Canada and Mexico and just getting her passport as of this year makes her competent to handle world affairs.

# 25 ANGELA @ 09/27/2008 at 1:56 am

So nice to see a normal person who had to figure out a way to get a college education that wasnt sponsored by my tax dollars , much like Obama who went to Harvard and Yale on my tax dollars only to decide not to practice law!!!

Sarah, appears to be intelligent and has proven herself in the great success she has had in Alaska

————

So Angela are you suggesting that because one is black or non white in America, and one has a college education it automatically is to be assumed that it was gotten via “your” tax dollar? Sorry to disappoint your obviously racists mindset, but I’ve never been given two red cents to rub together because of being not only black, female and latina, and guess what? I’m not alone in that.

Obama used loans (which have been paid off in full), part-time employment in the summer while an undergrad, and help from his grandparents just like poor put upon hardworking white americans do surprise surprise.

Anytime you’re ready to seek before you speak, feel free to do a little research so your ass won’t get handed to you. I won’t provide one link to help you to that end because we wouldn’t want you to appear to be taking a handout now would we.

jpf

this woman is disgusting. any woman is who puts her work and ambitions before her own family. she claims trig to be HER baby then shouldn’t she be busy taking care of him? or looking after her pregnant daughter?

and for all of you guys saying she has experience. really? well funny because even her fellow republicans thinks otherwise.

“McCain people are more than concerned about Palin.

The campaign has held a mock debate and a mock press conference; both are being described as “disastrous.” One senior McCain aide was quoted as saying, “What are we going to do?” The McCain people want to move this first debate to some later, undetermined date, possibly never. People on the inside are saying the Alaska Governor is “clueless.”

You guys should watch her interview with Katie Couric. What an embarrassment! Even the conservative commentator Kathleen Parker, who was an early supporter of Sarah Palin, now states she is way out of her league.

It’s refreshing to have a potential VP who is “one of the people” - i firmly believe that Mz Palin has her fingers on the pulse of middle class working families; i also believe she will be empathetic with the costs of raising a family, of managing an economy to encourage employment for the people, of keeping our citizens safe and secure within the Inalienable rights as guaranteed by our Constitution. Nope, she and John McCain are Servants OF The People, For The People, not self serving wanna-be’s who wish to gain power and adoration without earning it. My son used to say, “When i grow up to be president”…well i think Barak Houssin Obama grew up saying, “When i am president of the U.S. i will be in total power to make MY people supreme”…yup, just like Michelle wrote in her college paper, “If i ever come into a position of power in this country, i will use it wholly to advance MY people to supremacy in this nation”….geeze…they just want to lead a bunch of barbie dolls who have empty heads…..God Bless America…..she sure needs His help

Anyone who falls for the Who’s Who vanity book is too stupid to be President. They will put anyone’s name in the book who pays $249 for bragging rights/

Politics is a dirty game. Don’t expect Palin to be treated any differently just because she’s a women; that is sexist. If she want’s to be vice-pres. or even pres. she’ll need to be stronger than she’s shown us.

As for the remarks about the economic crisis in the US, this is not contained to just our country. The Europe, Canada, Austrailia, HongKong… have all had record high realestate bubbles, and have already peaked.
Plus the oil peak will have global affect, especially in 1st world countries.

“Those who criticize Sarah Palin are just plainly scared that their Obama will be defeated by McCain /Palin ticket. Their is no sense of personally attacking Sarah Palin for her experience but I have not heard anything about the inexperience of Obama who is running for the presidencey of a super power nation. Even his running mate Joe Biden commented on how inexperienced Obama is . Hillary Clinton and Joe LIeberman also voiced their opinion that Obama is not ready to be the President of the United States. And by the way to those who are smirking about Palin;s remark about how near Russia to Alaska, have you heard what happened to a neighbor of Russia, Georgia?
Be informed before you comment on something you are ignorant about.”

LOL first you say, “… I have not heard anything about the inexperience of Obama who is running for the presidencey of a super power nation.” then you say “Even his running mate Joe Biden commented on how inexperienced Obama is.”
I doubt you know anything about the attacks on Georgia!
STICK TO GOSSIPING ABOUT THE JONAS BROTHERS/

Jesus Patty, your such a racist idiot. Try learning to spell you welfare bum.

Calacus

You are so ignorant that if somebody brought up something that you have not thought about you attack them personally, There is no comparison between McCain and Obama. Obama is only the creation of Oprah Winfrey. And Oprah Winfrey only supported him because she thinks that he is the only black politician that is better than Jessie Jackson and Sharpton. Think about it, Oprah is supposed tobe thesupporter and champion of women. Why is it that she did not support Hillary but she supported Obama. Hillary is more qualified than Obama. I wonder if Obama becomes the President he and Oprah might give all the money to Africa.

This trash is a disgrace. I’m so embarrassed by her and McCain.

It’s so sad how this election has brought to light the racist people in the USA. they would rather vote for a condescending old man and a dumb as dirt lady knowing she is really not really down with ladies. It’s just sad that we as a nation have not grown since the old good ole boy days.

Palin hate women. She is such a clown. McCain should have pick some one else so he lack good judgment.

Team Lara Croft,

Your first mistake was to take anything written in the NYT at face value. It’s no longer a reputable newspaper of facts. It’s now an advertising arm of the Obama campaign.

And it seems quite evident their mission is also to keep American’s dumb to confirmed facts that can be proven in a court of law.

The truth is here:

But, in reality, none of these charges can be found and Jim Geraghty of NRO has done a little investigative work to prove it.

Geraghty looked to see how often Wasilla and Palin were mentioned in the debates about the rape kit bill. But he finds that there is not one mention of the town of Wasilla in the hearings over the bill. Far from being the mayor that had “complaints about her administration’s policy” (as the Chi Trib says) being the one forcing the state legislature to pass the law, Wasilla is not mentioned at all in the debates about the bill.

The Democratic sponsor of the legislation, Eric Croft, told USA Today recently that “the law was aimed in part at Wasilla, where now-Gov. Sarah Palin was mayor.” Yet in six committee meetings, Wasilla was never mentioned, even when the discussion turned to the specific topic of where victims were being charged.

Geraghty also could not find a single instance of a rape victim ever having been charged for her own rape kit.

To clarify: In preparation to attend a hearing and support the bill, one of the state’s top law-enforcement officials found no case of a rape victim ever being charged. And roughly a month after 30 Democratic lawyers, investigators, and opposition researchers, not to mention reporters from every major news agency in the country, landed in Alaska, we still have no instances to consider.

Additionally, Geraghty found that it was the hospitals in Alaska, not the police agencies, that were passing the bills on to the victims’ insurance companies. And the idea that only Wasilla had such a policy is blasted out of the water by Geraghty who notes that Juneau also had the same policy of charging rape victims for their rape kits.

In fact, at a Finance Committee hearing, Representative Gail Phillips (R., Homer) “read for the record, a statement from a woman in Juneau who had experienced the charges as indicated.” Compare Juneau (population 30,711 in 2000) to Wasilla (population 5,469).

On top of all of that, there are no stories prior to Sarah Palin being offered the billet as VP by John McCain that makes the claim that Palin was informed of or involved in this policy of charging rape victims for rape kits. And, since there was only one rape reported in the city between 1996 and 2000 when the story first came to the papers, it’s no wonder she wasn’t aware of the policy. When would it ever have come up? Does anyone think that any given mayor of any American town is fully cognizant of every single policy or law in their city, especially if it is a law not in use because of a lack of situations to bring it to light?

For her part, Palin spokeswoman Maria Comella has said that the governor “does not believe, nor has she ever believed, that rape victims should have to pay for an evidence-gathering test.”

In the end, it seems that this story is a wild exaggeration about Palin’s role in this policy.

Palin’s Wasilla To Rape Victims: Bring Your Checkbook

Hat tip to AmericaBlog for this one.

In 2000, then-Governor Tony Knowles signed a bill in Alaska that ensured law enforcement around the state would pay for the processing of “Rape Kits” - forensics evidence collected in rape cases. Seemed common sense enough. Knowles noted, correctly, that we don’t charge robbery victims the cost of dusting for prints, so why would be charge rape victims the cost of gathering evidence to apprehend their assailant?

Except one little town objected, and had previously refused to foot the bill to solve rape cases - Wasilla, under Mayor Sarah Palin.

Reported the local paper, The Frontiersman, at the time:

While the Alaska State Troopers and most municipal police agencies have covered the cost of exams, which cost between $300 to $1,200 apiece, the Wasilla police department does charge the victims of sexual assault for the tests.

Now, look, maybe this was long-standing policy, instituted far before Palin took office in Wasilla. Maybe she had been appointing people who would overturn this policy. Uh, no. After taking office, Palin fired the police chief, Irl Stambaugh (which made her a subject of a recall effort) and replaced him with Charlie Fannon. Fannon’s view of paying to solve rape cases?

Wasilla Police Chief Charlie Fannon does not agree with the new legislation, saying the law will require the city and communities to come up with more funds to cover the costs of the forensic exams.

So, for four years - from 1996, when Palin took office to 2000 when this law was passed - Palin didn’t seem to have a problem with charging rape victims to solve their own crime. And if she did, she certainly didn’t communicate that to her hand-picked Police Chief, who didn’t have a problem with it.

I guess that’s one way to be a “Maverick.”

Of course, I’d be willing to say that Palin was just a part-time Mayor with very little oversight or responsibility, and it’s unfair to say she could do something about it.

But, as Palin has made clear, being Mayor was “kiiiiiind of like being a community organizer, except you have actual responsibility.” And, of course, John McCain and his campaign have made clear that as Mayor, Palin had a ton of responsibility and decision-making pressure, which is why she’s ready to assume the Presidency from Day One.

As much as this seems like a post about Sarah Palin, it’s really not. It’s about John McCain. What I want to know is at what point in the vetting process, after going through Mayoral records, did the McCain campaign learn that Palin condoned the charging of rape victims the cost of processing rape kits? And after they found out, before he selected her, did he discuss the matter in the extensive discussions he had with Palin about her record and her views?

Oh wait, that’s right he didn’t do any of this, because he made his decision after a short phone call. And now he has, on his ticket, someone who didn’t seem to think that charging rape victims for forensics processing in their rape cases was all that big of a problem. Or, at least it wasn’t a big enough problem to use her “responsibility” to change the policy.

One heartbeat away from being President.

Team Lara Croft,

Your posting a Sept 9th story to prove a more current knowledge of the facts is really quite sad.

The fact is no rape kits were ever charged in Wasilla. And the Democrat (who is supporting Obama) that wrote the bill to ban the rape kits now all of sudden claims (eight years later) that Wasilla was a major factor in him writing the bill.

Funny thing is that Wasilla is not mentioned ONCE in the transcripts.

Now Team Lara Croft, you can believe political motivated asseretions all you want but do not kid yourself……they’re not facts.

BTW, I’m a pro-choice woman and I feel very comfortable having a pro-life woman like Sarah Palin as VP. There is no history that I have found of her inserting her religious beliefs into government.

Team Lara Croft is full of it. All she has is talking points and her “facts” have been proven false.

Case closed. Sheryl wins.
