    John Bolton has her back?
    That, by itself, is one scary notion.
    2 more months to see beyond the blurred images, get to the truth and make sure that this woman and her new boss never get to further ruin our lives by regurgitating GWB's policies and practices.

    ...she should apologize to all pitbulls. She is not nearly as beautiful and charming as that wonderful animal.

    I agree!!

    I own beautiful pitbulls that are wonderful beings.
    They are amazing pets and wonderful companions.
    Their heart is true and their intentions are pure.

    To me, they are the perfect dogs, and they are trained
    to perfection.

    Everyone who meets my dogs absolutly loves them.
    When I talk to old friends, they always ask about my dogs.

    My pitbulls are wonderful creatures.

    Sarah Palin is a corrupted, lying, evil human.
    I would never, ever allow that woman in my home.

    She is a disgrace to our country and our populous.
    The exact opposite of the beautiful pitbulls next to me.

    So Sarah Palin:

    You are no pitbull bitch, you are simply a disgrace.
    And your speach actually made me noscious.
    Horrid.

    Just let her run off at the mouth She belongs to a bunch of god talking freaks. It seems that these GOPers all talk or hallucinate talking to GOD. They must have some king of DT's. There is just one warning. They can be violent and dangerous.

    After about 5 minutes of her speech I had to turn off the tv, I thought my head was going to explode. So I went to read to my 9 year old daughter. From Lemony Snicket A slippery Slope the first paragraph " An associate of mine once wrote a novel called Corridors of Power which told the story of various people discussing how the world has become a corrupt and dangerous place and whether or not there were enough people with the integrity and decency necessary to keep the entire planet from descending into despair" My 9 year old said wow mommy sounds just like what you were saying after listening to that woman on t.v. :)

    Great pod, Vierotchka!

    Side comment...what is it with all these voters simply accessing the headline page and acting as political hacks without commenting and just voting something down?

    This woman is insane. Does she have some sort of god complex? I cant believe that she actually believes what she is saying. In refrence to the troops in Iraq she said "we are sending them out on a task for god." Is she searous? So now she thinks she has the power to speak and act on gods behalf ?
    And I thought her shooting polar bears and banning books was bad.

    I have to say that I was actually insulted by McCain's choice of Palin. I know there are much more experienced candidates out there that in todays crisis' would definately be of great use. I was completely open minded about the two candidates until this.

    I feel she was his choice because she has the most issues to grab the most votes. She is a PTA hockey mom with a son in the armed forces and one with disablities. Her husband is an Alaskan "All American" Mr. Mom. Now all moms can relate to her because she too struggles to control her teen children and that is quite obvious by her preg. daughter. But this one really is true love and they were planning on marrying anyway so that changes everything and makes it ok. The only thing missing is she isn't of ethnic background....oh thats right, thats Barack.

    I too am a real mom that runs my son to football practice and struggle with the teen issues. Hes not old enough to enlist but wants to be a fighter pilot and I know a lot of people who know people in Iraq. I used to be in the PTA when I had time but I do have to home to the "queens castle" and for some reason I have no one cleaning for me, answering my business line nor is dinner cooking unless I started it before I left. Oh and my husband, he working as well like all the rest of us "real life" folks trying to keep our heads above water. My son has a problem with his hip that I have to pay $1200 a month to go to a physical therapist since I am self employed and have to pay for my own health insurance which stinks since the insurance that would pay for all this is way out of my budget. (I will meet my deductible after 2 and a half months at least) Oh and I lived in California with lots of Mexicans and lived close to Canada at some point in my life does this count as experiences with foreign policy? I AM of ethnic background. I guess its the fact I don't hunt or else I could be governor or VP!

    Or maybe its because if I were running for VP I would go in knowing I would be attacked and talked about and thats just a fact of life! McCain/Palin, don't tell me all about how wonderful Palin is and then say "Don't talk about her family or her negatives or her law suits going on in Alaska." You can't use them for her votes and tell people not to use them against her. And if being VP didn't affect my ability of being a mom.....theres a problem!!!

    So please...talk about how the self employed typically do not have health insurance due to the costs, how I have to spend a fortune to take my son to the Dr because of this. How the self employed creates jobs here in America. How my children are our future. How both parents have to work to survive todays economy. How much time I have dedicated to my kids running them here and there like all other Americans. But just like Barack...I do agree do not judge her family. After all, theres so much more to talk about then her kids that did not ask to be put in American's faces or possibly have to move from Alaska to Washington DC. They are the innocent ones.....well except the preg 17 yr old but hey at least shes being honest and keeping the baby.
