Sarah Palin

[En_fuego]

I don't support his ideas, his policies, pretty much anything he does. The same goes with any other liberal, that's why I never vote liberally and probably never will.

 

 

 

Well it's fantastic to hear you have a very closed-minded perception on the topic. I don't know how you don't support lower taxes, pulling out of a war, giving women more rights, ect, but that's fine.

 

 

 

Pulling out of the war is not a liberal mind set, moderates, like myself, and many conservatives support it also. Liberals lower taxes? Thats news to me. You're doing the whole party line thing which you mentioned earlier. You're also twisting words and opinions. You are allowed to believe in what you want as am I.

 

 

 

But this has gotton too far off topic, seeing as the title Sarah Palin. If Mccain does get elected at least we'll have something good to look at.

 

 

 

Edit:

 

 

 

 

I fail to see how a politician can't be any of those words you just said. You think everyone is a heartless, careless son of a [bleep] who does this only for money? That's pretty ignorant.

 

 

 

EDIT: I took my time to look up the definition of messiah. (this was the only non-religious definition I could find).

 

 

 

(usually lowercase) a zealous leader of some cause or project.

 

 

 

 

 

...You would have to be extremely unintelligent to not vote for someone like that. <_<

 

 

 

Look up sarcasm while you're at it.

 

 

 

And, yes, I do think every politician is neither genuine or caring. The closest one that I believe could actually change America, for the good, would be Ron Paul.

^ What, another Bush in office? That's all McCain is basically saying is that he wants to continue all the crap Bush has started. Bush even endorsed him. <_

Palin wants creationism taught in science classes in school: http://blog.wired.com/wiredscience/2008 ... -want.html

 

 

 

In a 2006 gubernatorial debate, the soon-to-be governor of Alaska said of evolution and creation education, "Teach both. You know, don't be afraid of education. Healthy debate is so important, and it's so valuable in our schools. I am a proponent of teaching both."

 

 

 

Asked by the Anchorage Daily News whether she believed in evolution, Palin declined to answer, but said that "I don't think there should be a prohibition against debate if it comes up in class."

 

 

 

Not that she apparently cares about scientific facts. She says that the Polar Bear population has "risen dramatically over the last 30 years", whereas:

 

 

 

 

"Polar bear populations have not been increasing for the past 30 years, and that's a well-known fact," said Ian Stirling, an emeritus scientist with Canada's Department of the Environment and an adjunct professor at the University of Alberta in an interview. Stirling has studied polar bears for 37 years -- the longest of anyone.

 

 

 

 

Now, if she doesn't care about polar bears, then that's one thing, and if she came out and said it then that's fine. But ignoring science seems backwards to me - very much the same as the last 8 years!

Good thing he won't be getting my vote. I'm throwing mine away.

[Ginger_Warrior]

^^ He was a 'christian' and you might not want to bring up religion in the same sentence as Obama. And I don't think being in the army makes you a bigot.

 

He is now a Southern Baptist. That's still Christianity, and I can't really see where his anti-abortion stance comes from except his religious views.

 

 

 

And what about Obama and religion? He attended a mudrassa when he was younger. I went to a school where over three quarters of the students were Muslims. Am I a Muslim because of it? No. Obama doesn't let his religion control his politics either.

 

 

 

That's the difference between McCain and Obama when it comes to religion, and that's why McCain is a bigot.

 

 

 

And Ginger, I don't think you really understand the who Obama really is. He is the only hope for us. He will completely heal all racial inequality. He is THE ONE.

 

 

 

I totally pray you are kidding.

 

 

 

But what about Hope? And Change?

 

But what about "Iran's gonna launch nukes at us in the future and Russia's giving them the missiles! WAR!!! Oh yeah... all the troops are in Afghanistan and Iraq... no problem, I'll conjure troops *and* money to afford them out of thin air!"?

[Powman3]

En_Fuego, I'm so sorry that I couldn't tell you were being sarcastic over TYPED WORDS. [/sarcasm]

I wasn't talking about McCain. And I didn't mean obama's muslim school. Not even Rush limaugh and hannity talk about that, only really fringe people. I meant his 20 years with Jeremiah Wright as his preacher at trinity church, which teaches black liberation theology. Even if we believe him when he says he was never there when Wright said that white people created aids to kill black people, or call America the "United States of kkka", or said that FDR knew about Pearl Harbor and let it happen, who said "Hillary clinton ain't never been called a n...er", who said "God damn America". The best case scenario is that Obama flat out lied to America and is actually an atheist who joined that church simply for political gain in order to be elected to the Illinois state senate and while he was there he sat in the pews with a portable radio listening to football games. But he says he is a very committed christian and I'm inclined to believe him. He might say that he never was there when wright said the most controversial things but I find it hard to believe that he never talked to other parishioners who said "did you hear the sermon last week?" Especially when wright says these things and the people in the pews are cheering enthusiastically. Even if he didn't know wright said any of that stuff, which wright says he did and was just distancing himself from him for political reasons but I'm not that inclined to believe wright, he still heard black liberation theology preached every Sunday. That is almost worse. That theology is a marxist theology of victimization which basically says that if God is not on the side of black people and wants to destroy white people then black people need to kill God.

 

 

 

 

 

And just because McCain is a baptist means he's a bigot?

 

 

 

and @ duqsi the polar bear population has at least doubled in the last 50 years.

Nah, Obama is just a bit smarter. He used religion to garner popularity and aligned himself with Reverend Wright. Once Wright outlived his usefulness, he got dropped faster than an unwanted baby.

[magekillr]

For Barack Obama to accuse Gov. Sarah Palin of opposing equal opportunity for women, when she actually opposes the trial lawyers effort to overturn the longstanding statute of limitations in Americas courts -- is not only an absurd accusation, its a disgrace. But if we're reading this statement correctly, this means that Palin backed the Supreme Court's 5-4 majority decision that invalidated Lily Ledbetter's equal-pay lawsuit.

 

 

 

She are smart. =D>

[misterxman]

The main question to answer is, could she run the country as President if something happens to McCain?

[mrpez]

this is a funny cartoon i found about sarah palin.

And that's all I have to say.

[Necromagus]

I think what could truly come back to bite them is the fact that she was an active supporter of pat Buchanan. This could end up costing McCain Florida.

[mrpez]

despite mccain's choice of vp, he will not win the election.

 

 

 

republicans have been in office for several terms. for the next 8 years im sure we will have democratic presidents.

 

 

 

fortunately, that will be good news for me seeing as democrats will increase financial aid for college students.

 

 

 

edit: wow. in this article cindy mccain claims that palin has national security experience because "Alaska is the closest part of our continent to Russia." hmm, good thing palin has been resisting all that russian aggression directed toward the alaskan border recently.

I'll then tell you that we are essentially the United States of America's first line of defence in the case of an incoming missile from any Asian country, including Russia and North Korea. Our system basically detects an incoming missile, determines where and from what station to shoot an intercepting missile, and then launches and hopefully destroys the enemy missile. It's not amazingly new technology, but it is, as I said, America's first line of defence from the West.

[mrpez]

yes, alaska is indeed the first line of defense for the west coast, but there has been no such attack and therefore sarah palin has no national security experience.

[Kaphias]

So you're saying that no work goes into the system unless it's shooting missiles?

[mrpez]

no, but she has only had experience preparing.

 

 

 

experience preparing is better than nothing though.

[Lordjake]

no, but she has only had experience preparing.

 

 

 

experience preparing is better than nothing though.

 

According to the AP, Palin didn't have any hand in national defenses:

 

 

 

Maj. Gen. Craig Campbell, adjutant general of the Alaska National Guard, considers Palin "extremely responsive and smart" and says she is in charge when it comes to in-state services, such as emergencies and natural disasters where the National Guard is the first responder.

 

 

 

But, in an interview with The Associated Press on Sunday, he said he and Palin play no role in national defense activities, even when they involve the Alaska National Guard. The entire operation is under federal control, and the governor is not briefed on situations.

Interesting. Logically, though, I have to doubt that, as it is happening in her state...

[Barihawk]

Bob, if you are going to post a bad photoshop, at least make sure you didn't give her two completely different necks.

"3. Will you support funding for abstinence-until-marriage education instead of for explicit sex-education programs, school-based clinics, and the distribution of contraceptives in schools?

 

 

 

SP: Yes, the explicit sex-ed programs will not find my support."

 

 

 

"10. Do you support the Alaska Supreme Courts ruling that spousal benefits for state employees should be given to same-sex couples? Why or why not?

 

 

 

SP: No, I believe spousal benefits are reserved for married citizens as defined in our Constitution."

 

 

 

" 11. Are you offended by the phrase Under God in the Pledge of Allegiance? Why or why not?

 

 

 

Sarah Palin: Not on your life. If it was good enough for the founding fathers, its good enough for me and Ill fight in defense of our Pledge of Allegiance."

 

 

 

Erm.... :?

 

 

 

Although she was referring to Alaska's constitution with the same-sex thing, she's totally wrong about the pledge, and her views on sexual education are just plain scary.

[1_man_army]

Do individual states have constitutions? I thought they were only subject to US constitution. Seperate state laws/politics is the one area I struggle with in America.

[Thrallster]

well, if mccain wins, hillary's supporters are gonna assassinate mccain to get a women president, so... Jk. My opinion is that he picked her because he didnt want to have any more scandals, and he figured she would be dirt-free. However, if you read the news... :-#
