Calls rise among Republicans for Sarah Palin to step down from GOP ticket

i am no republican ,but i am worried about this election what if they win and she becomes VPor god forbid has to take over presidency .we are going to have a mess wich ever side wins,but we will really be up a creek if she gets it

I see a lot of comments about how Palin LOOKS. Too bad that doesn't take care of all those pesky words and policy decisions...

http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/politics/2008/09/26/palin.israel.comments.cnn

She is crazy! The things she said about Israel are a little nerve wracking.

palin is not fit to be Governor of Alaska in my opinion i think she would be a perfect mayor but anything else is pushing it

and biden is a senile old man who has no idea of who what when where or why

Can anyone please tell me why they would vote for someone who has hardly no experience? Or how about why you would vote for someone just because of the way they look? (I'm talking about Obama & Palin). Why would you base an immensely important decision off of libido? You're not going to get to sleep with them just because you vote for them so why not actually make a proper decision and at lease come up with better reasons than "s/he looks hot". Honestly, they're both pretty disturbing to look at. I mean, Palin looks like she eats little boys for dinner. Just creepy.

Anyways, just please, use your rain and not your crotch when choosing the fate of the US and the rest of the world. You might think she's worth the vote just because of her face, but if you vote like that you could seriously find yourself enlisted and in the middle east.

Speaking as someone who isn't American, I have to tell you guys, no one else in the entire rest of the world can even believe she's on the ticket. What are you people, insane? She's not anywhere near ready to even be VP and there's a really good chance she will be leader of the most powerful nation on earth! Do you know how terrifying this is for the rest of the world? You guys have the nukes, tensions are mounting between you guys and Russia again (they also have nukes), and you've made the middle east an even bigger mess already, and now someone with this little experience might be in charge of dealing with all that. And you're all talking about voting for her because she's hot!

Please do us a favour America. Please give up your democracy. It's too big of a risk to the rest of the planet. You're not ready for it.

Fred4Justice? really---4 Justice--I would like to think you are joking and are really just being sarcastic.
I wish that was the case--however--doing much research on both candidates and polling people in my own community-here in the D.C.-Baltimore area I am VERY sad to say--you may be telling the honest truth of what you believe.
I had someone tell me yesterday that they were voting for Palin-McCain--because Palin shot a moose.
They were being dead serious.

Another said they would not vote for Obama for fear of what it would do in the black community.
They feared a over reaction-feeling of entitlement to do as they please. As if law would not pertain to them anymore then whites or others since a black man would be president?! really??
They were also serious.
This ignorance is far reaching and extremly disturbing.
I fear for us all yet hope for the best.
Please everyone spread the word of the truth.
tell everyone you meet the facts.

I dont think she should drop out.....seems she is helping mccain go down

As someone who will be voting Democrat, the last thing we want is Palin to step off the ticket. Her view of the world is extremely skewed in the wrong direction. All we need is McCain to hold onto Palin for another month, long enough for the rest of the country to realize what sort of out of touch team the Republican party has put forward. I have a feeling it won't be the Democrats crying over lost votes this time around.

For all those people that like her for her simple ways, you can follow her back to Alaska while the rest of us move forward into the 21st century.

...or go hang out with Bush on his ranch. There's another politician people voted for because of his "simple, hometown values." Look where that got us.

Ah,shucks ,lol
I'm very disappointed that the video
.Sarah Palin: 1984 Beauty Pageant Swimsuit Competition Video! didn't play,
Does Biden have a video or is his 1993 Super Bowl Hoax just in text only ,where they claim All men on Super Bowl Sunday act like line backers and attack and beat their spouses,which produced unconstitutional VAWA and false restraining orders on many who never commited any domestic violence,just hearsay was ok for the order to be given and a spouse removed from the home and their posterity.
. The youtube video is very enlightening.

Are either party any different,,,

I read one time some comments about politicians so here goes,

“Politicians are like diapers. They both need changing regularly and for the same reason.” -
Anonymous

“Everything is changing. People are taking their comedians seriously and the politicians as a joke.” - Will Rogers

“I have come to the conclusions that politics are too serious a matter to be left to the politicians.”-Charles de Gaulle quotes

“Politics: “Poli” a Latin word meaning “many”; and "tics" meaning “bloodsucking creatures”.”-
Robin Williams quotes

I don't see that happening. As a Democrat I've been calling for Obama to step down for months.

You think Sarah Palin is a super mom who has a knocked up 17 year old daughter, while Palin's views on pro-life are SO extreme it makes me want to crawl out of my skin...

Senator Clinton raises Chelsea after having her marriage tested over and over again with the whole world watching, Chelsea is a successful young woman with a bright future in front of her and an amazing education...

And Palin is more of a mother than Hilary WHY?

That's not even the main issue. It's just a fraction of it.

Leave her alone. Everyone must be so jealous of her instant fame. Now everyone is trying to dig up stupid stuff about her. Obama is the real corupt one.

I was sorry Palin's understanding of important global scientific issues such as overpopulation, global warming, peak oil, were not showcased in the interview. It would have been interesting to find out where saw that picture of dinosaur and human footprints side by side. Why she believes the earth is only 5,000 years old and if we are in the "last days" then who cares. After watching her interview I have a much deeper understanding of .... "jaw dropping".

When will this Lady get it through her head that MCCAIN has used her to help him humiliate and denegrate every woman voter in America? How? He needed a woman to try to get the votes Our Beloved former First Lady would have gotten! It was just rotten that she was his choice. Guess what MR. MCCAIN! IT DIDN'T WORK!

ok, it must be desperate times for the republicans. McCain, who is 72 years old, doesn't know what the internet is and is known for screaming at people when someone disagrees with him is being considered a good presidential option? Ok, all respect for the veteran status, but there are millions of veterans in this country. That DOES not make you a good president and is the best he has to offer or he wouldn't say that every 5 minutes. And Palin, the VP they are holding on to (since McCain might not make it full term) is an uneducated woman who doesn't even know where Russia is and whose main experience is leading a town of 9000 people. I've organized groups larger than that!!!! Half of my neighborhood is larger than that !!!
Like having one ignorant, irresponsible idiot in the White House was not enough.
It must be desperate times for the Republicans... It would be nice if they really cared for this country and voted with their heads for a change.

Hey, my butt itches....... I think I will vote for _________. Well I put cream on it and now it is better; what am I to do?

She is well liked as a governor because she taxes the oil companies to death and gives it to her constituents. God forbid anyone else do it. She is a genius!

9. She shoots..........intellectual blanks!

Dude, if that is supermom, my mom just walked on water and told Christ where he was wrong.

As far as looking at a VP on TV........she couldn't even run the camera, and I certainly don't want to see her there.

I approve of her glasses although she can't seem to see anything......like the forest for the trees. And she hunts.....what a disgrace.

Fred, I see why you like her for her intellect, her looks, her motherly nurturing abilities, her accent and the fact that we all know she was picked for her credentials and not to sway women or folks who were pro Hillary. Wait a minute......I think I just crapped Bull in my pants.

Pale-in is a great example of McCane's judgement, and boy what a poor judgement it is!

It's been more than fun while it lasted-it's been the most entertaining part of this election so far. But the time has come for you to do the right thing for all of us & fall on your icicle. Plus, you live in one of the most beautiful states in the country-why would you want to leave?

Nobody wants a hockey mom with lipstick. Obviously. Coming from an unbiased mind, the Republicans couldn't of made a worse choice for the vice presidency. People would've been more confident with Jesse Ventura or Stepen Colbert.

Is comedy central covering Thursdays debate?

So I guess you guys are hoping Britney Spears will run next election...?

As nice as it'd be for her to step down, I doubt it will ever happen.

It's amazing to hear fellow american's put their sexual attraction in front of the important standards we should have for our leaders. To overlook one's ignorance on the global (and local) stage, incompetence in her current job, and overall confused/fudged interviews is appalling. This woman could end up being our commander in chief. This isn't a "Miss Alaska" pageant. This our future. The bar should be a little higher than "sexy for VP".

Maybe you guys were just joking, I hope...

This is a serious matter, not a swimsuit contest.

I don't think McCain will let take her off the ticket. It's too close to the election and he'll look like he made a bad choice.

Let's enjoy the debate.

Come on let her at least have a go at the debate. After the crash, we need a little comic relief. Popcorn, YES.

There is not one woman I know that is dumb enough to vote for Palin just because she has inside plumbing. We know there are many important deals made around the urinal. Hopefully that would leave Sarah out of negotiations?

I'm looking forward to the debate Thursday. I can't imagine that turning out in any positive way for Palin.

well im glad that some republicans are finally coming to their senses.

How can you spin this
That's the game
Reality is a relative illusion of mutually agreed upon lies

Palin is sexy
But so are prostitutes
She's an idiot
A mental midget if you will

I was worried at first
She's garbage

If the Republicans really wanted to win, they would dumb Palin, and draft Ron Paul. That is about it, unless the right wing steals the election again.

She is the worst thing to happen to America. Even worse than Bush.

She wants to make ALL birth control, ALL abortions (including when a woman's life is at risk) illegal, and she turned down funding to teenage parents (we all know they're rich like her kid), and a bill that would've helped find dead-beat fathers who hide out in Alaska. Pro-family? Yeah, right. Pro-agenda.

And a month before accepting the vice-president nomination, she didn't even know what it is that the vice-president does. She even made rape victims PAY for their rape kits.

Remember, everyone, global warming is God hugging us closer.

I received my passport before Palin got hers.

Does this mean I have enough experience to be a Vice Presidential candidate?

Laughing my ass off in horror! "She is smart in a simple sort of way." ?!

I want somebody who is a hell of a lot smarter than I am in public office. I want them to be very intelligent and elite and a hopefully a goddamned genius. I don't want a regular guy; I don't want somebody who you can drink a beer with; and I certainly don't want a frigging hockey mom who interprets the bible literally and shoots animals from a helicopter. You have to be pretty frigging stupid to want somebody who isn't any more intelligent than yourself running for vice president. Do you like working for your boss if he is an idiot? Burn your bible and get some f@#$ing common sense!!!!!

PWNED! Palin is the worst politician ever.

I honestly hope she stays so America can see what a fool Biden will make out of her during the VP debate.

I kind of like Palin's approach in regards to her foreign diplomacy experience. I think Im going to drop out of school right now and start applying for jobs as a brain surgeon. On my resume under "experience", Im going to write, "I can see the county hospital from my house!" and "I own a butcher's block of kitchen knives!". I think this will go over well. Thanks Sarah Palin!

Aw come on let her have her debate, we will see the real average Sarah.

It is Alaska, how hard do you have to work to have a high approval rating in a state with an extremely low population. Aside from Fred's reasons for liking Palin being two steps short of ignorant, I can find no reason to cast a vote for McCain/Palin and I am a card carrying Republican... even if I no longer live in the US [dual citizenship].

I watched the interview she did with Katie C. on the evening news and was simply shocked and how she carried herself post the brilliant speech she delivered during the RNC. I am convinced that McCain chose here only to sure up the female vote.

Fred - You are going to vote for her because she is hot, she shoots, you want to bang her, and her 17 year old pregnant kid is a sign of a good mother. Oh, and she is well liked in a state which is made up of mostly men who think with their little head, just like you...

You are exactly what is wrong with this country... voting for someone because they are clever and folksy. You sound as stupid as our current president, who was perceived as clever and folksy and got us into this mess, um... because ALL he is is clever and folksy.

Frickin idiots vote. That is the REAL porblem with America! We allow frickin idiots like this to vote!

Tell me sparky, how is this hot bulldog with lipstick going to help any single one of the crisis currently confounding our best experts? Is she gonna slam a beer and give them pesky national and international crisis a good folksy talkin to?

Frickin idiot!
