Who wants to take off the gloves and bring it on against Vice President Sarah Palin?

Question

Ok----we now have a strong woman candidate Sarah Palin---who has shown she has proven excellence in executive leadership that will cross party lines when need be to stand for what she believes in ----and refuses to pander to special-interest groups. I have seen some ugly attacks against this beautiful lady and mother for no apparent good reason.

----so bring it on----what do you have to say?

Answer 1

I think we all know Superfries picked her to try and yank the stubborn hillary supporters away from Obama. His funeral either way. Think about it, there's a good chance he can croak due to natural causes while in office, and if he does.....she's gonna be leading America....think long and hard about that<<<

He lost ....I think Obama wins this election not clearly...not by a landslide, but by a larger margin then most would have thought.Just wait and see. Republicans....you knwo full well your party fcked up America....you know this.....so just go hide in that dark hole you all crawled out of and let the Dems take the country back into prosperity. You had your chance and you blew it....big time.

Answer 2

This was a p**s poor choice. Palin is not going to steal the women vote from Obama with these sob stories about her retarded baby and prom queen smile. Biden is a tough man. Try losing your wife and newborn! McCain is a natural born idoit who is going to ride Bushes coat tail on policies. Hes made this very clear. Think things are bad now. Let that old redneck into office and watch! Obama is going to unite this country, he is going to pave the road to smooth relations with the international community and put an end to the capitalistic mind set! We are the answer and Obama sees this. McCain sees his legacy and thats it. Palin is a joke!

Answer 3

Ok, so she's a strong family woman with a high approval rating, and I'm thrilled that there will be a woman on as a VP candidate, but maybe the wrong woman.  I personally believe she's pushing human/woman rights back a few decades... let a woman decide to do to her body what she wants.  Also, who's to say that homosexuals should not have the same rights as everyone else?  She's just way too conservative for my palate.

Answer 4

Oh my goodness are you serious?

Absolutely not!

She has no experience in world politics. She is a right winged evangelical nut.

She is a member of Dominions church. The Dominionist's have a tendency among some conservative politically-active Christians, especially in the US, to seek influence or control over secular civil government through political action — aiming either at a nation governed by Christians, or a nation governed by a conservative Christian understanding of biblical law. The use and application of this terminology is a matter of controversy.

She is so pro life that she wants to criminalize abortion, and even opposes most methods of birth control.

She is a woman that believes the government has the right to tell us what to do with our bodies. I'm very scared that there is a chance that if McCain were elected and something happened to him she would be the President. It is literally keeping me up at night.

She is also under investigation for Abuse of Power in Alaska. She had a member of her cabinet fired bc of wanting to out her ex brother in law from the State Troopers. Sooo trashy.

She was quoted on MSNBC saying, "What does a VP do?"

She's just not right for America.

Please before you vote be sure that you are informed.

Answer 5

Isn't it interesting to see just how fast the dems will pass over or try to destroy any woman and then make the claim that they are the party for women and minorities....lol...she is the PERFECT pick for McCain, and you can see it with all the hate filled rants from the left...Satan is really agitated right now.....lol..

Answer 6

I think she's great. To all the people who says she has no executive experience need to research what she did for Alaska and there economy in such a short time period. She's a strong woman and isn't going to take any c**p from anyone who insults her or what she stands for. McCain/Palin 2008!

Answer 7

Someone stupid who has nothing better to talk about.

Obama, Michelle, Biden, the Kennedys, the Clintons, Oprah

and all in the Democratic campaign will look ridiculous and

mean to pick on her.

Sarah Palin blows the bias issues out of the water.

Answer 8

Sarah Palin is brilliant and articulate and, in Alaska politics, is a breath of fresh air as an alternative to their corruption epitomized by Ted Stevens "Bridge to Nowhere", She Veto'd the "Bridge" Earmark.  Now Obama, who has spent two years preventing a woman from being president, Now McCain has vividly demonstrated the difference.  Sarah Palin is no d**k Cheney!

She wants to clean up Pork Barrel spending.  That alone qualifies her by my standards.  $Millions in farm subsidies are right now going to New York Penthouse executives that aren't even farmers, they own a vacant piece of land and claim they farm.  Outrageous Pork Govt. giveaways!  That's the Democratic corruption she will attack.

Answer 9

I think the only reason he chose her was because he though he could get Clinton supporters and other women.

And for those of you who think it's funny to "misspell" Obama's name? Yeah, it's a name, not a personality. If you want another decade of war than vote for McCain. If you want someone to lead then vote Obama.

Answer 10

This thread demonstrates the genius of the Palin pick. Every liberal argument against her applies doubly to Obama! Plus the misogyny from the left is astounding for the "party of women". This is hilarious.

What the left is in such an absolute panic about is that Palin is authentic. A person of actual accomplishment. She makes Obama and Biden look starkly as what they are, creatures of politics who never held a real job in their lives. LOL, Biden has been a US senator since he was 29! Obama has been a do nothing politician since college.

I just hope she is strong enough to take the hate and bile the liberals will heap on her.

Answer 11

I think she is awesome!! She may not have as much time in office, but she was a mayor and a governor - that runs a lot more than a senator!! Besides, she clearly has more talent than Obama or Biden. I'm really excited about it. I think she can appeal to both sides if people actually look at what she's done and what she can do. Not that libs will try - they'll probably just listen to the baseless attacks. Shame.  

Answer 12

First of all, it's vice presidential CANDIDATE Sarah Pulin.

I think that McCain chose Sarah Palin solely to get the votes of those undecided Hillary voters.  You say she has proven excellence in executive leadership.  I say she has next-to-zero experience in a town of 9,000 people, doesn't even know what the vice president does, and would not have the strength and resolve to stand up in foreign policies.

Just think about it; in the case of a Presidential death or assassination, the country would be in turmoil, perhaps on the brink of war.  Would you rather have Joe Biden on the ticket, a politician who's ready to go and has experience, or have Sarah Pulin, an unproven newbie who would have to make some of the toughest decisions in her career.  This isn't Alaska anymore.  This is the United States of America.

True, Palin could turn out to be a natural leader.  But taking on two politicians in her home state isn't enough to qualify as experience.  Putting aside her gender, I do not believe that Palin has the backbone to become the Commander-in-Chief in the case of an emergency.

Answer 13

I agree!  The media especially did not waste any time going after her.  They love to refer to this supposed investigation of her by the Alaskan legislature (which I believe is politically motivated) as well as her pro-life stance (even "walking the walk" when she gave birth to her child even knowing it was diagnosed with Downs syndrome while in the womb).  

Sarah is what I like to call the "anti-Hillary."

Answer 14

"Experienced" in what-childbirth? Come on people the woman has no business being vice president, not at this early stage of her political career. I sure hope McCain asked her when's the last time she visted with troops in Iraq (thats NEVER). This is a poor choice atleast give the Dems someone to worry about (ie. Mitt Romney, Joe Liberman) but this Palin woman who most of the country never knew existed until today; GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!!

OBAMA/BIDEN 08  

Answer 15

i could see why he picked a female vp....but c'mon.....this is SO hypocritical of republicans saying that obama is inexperienced .... to pick a vp that has pretty much NO experience in a state of alaska??? i know this pick will blow up in the republicans faces because its a desperate move and most voters will see that.... anybody who supports this woman for being the next in line president but doesnt support obama for his "lack of experience" is the biggest hypocrite in the world

i as a democrat welcome this choice because it will help us ...especially when biden tears her up in the debates...

i guess this pick isnt too surprising ......look who the past republicans picked for vp the last few elections....cheney, quayle, bush....that's a laughable bunch

i know i will be getting a million thumbs down for this answer but sometimes people are scared to hear the truth

Answer 16

they will take "off the gloves" so to speak on Sarah Palin- that is the way politics, especially at this level, are done.  I hope they do- this will only solidify her as a strong candidate who wont take any c**p or bend because the wind of opinion has suddenly changed.  A good hard challenge to her character and experience is necessary to demonstrate she is a great candidate who just happens to also be a woman.  

I think she will meet this challenge and I look forward to cheering her on!  McCain has shown that the Republican party can be progressive and change.  I am so proud to be Republican today!!  

Answer 17

I haven't seen a single attack against her policies yet. Just a bunch of idiots telling her to get back in the kitchen.  

She has executive experience.  She has high approval ratings.  She has the right positions on energy and reform.

Answer 18

she's way too conservative

and she always has WAYY less experience than obama

this is just to get all those hilary voters

and people that only vote for her cause sh'es s "strong woman" need to look at hte actually issues

p.s

all those people saying osama oops obama

way not to be racist and look at the issues

we shouldn't be focusing on who they are as much as what they want to do

Answer 19

I think it was an excellent choice. Articulate and Moral woman who isn't afraid to stand up to corporations.

I noticed one line from Obama's speech that almost made me choke. Referring to McCain-- When someone doesn't have a record to stand on they attack the other person.  When did Obama geta  record to stand on. he has been running for President ever since he took the office of Senator. When he was state senator most of his votes were neither yes or no but "present" this man stands for nothing except tryiong to feed his own ego and thinks himself the next John Kennedy.... Senator Obama,,, You are no John Kennedy!

Answer 20

I am a Republican, a Christian, and a mother.  I am extremely disappointed in Senator McCain and Sarah Palin.  Mothers need to put the raising of their children first.  This is especially true when you have a 4-month year old baby with down syndrome who really needs the attention and love only a mother can give.  I am a mother, and I would never put my career ahead of my children -- no matter what job any person offered me.  

Answer 21

I think it's an excellent choice..just short of hilary herself (wouldn't that have been a jaw dropper)....the only position I'm kinda iffy on her with is her stance on g**s.  I don't mind that she is against g*y marriage but I'm not so sure it requires and amendment.

I also heard that she is against civil unions and I disagree with that as well.  But as far as everything else, yeh

she rocks.

Answer 22

haha how bout the fact that she tries to portray some badass feminist image by being a member of the National Rifle Association and Feminist for Life...well let me tell you, no feminist I know if for laws over womens' bodies. And how about the fact that she opposed putting polar bears on the endangered species list...sounds like she's a real animal lover...She says she receptive to g*y people and even has "g*y friends" but is a die hard conservative...find it hard to believe that those two mix.

She is simply a ploy on McCains part to sway the disgruntled Hillary supporters to vote Republican....LONG LIVE DEMOCRACY

AND IF ANOTHER NARROW MINDED PERSON SAYS OSAMA I MEAN OBAMA IM GUNNA SCREAM! DIDNT KNOW WE WERE VOTING FOR A NEW PRESIDENT BASED ON THEIR NAME!!!!!!!

Answer 23

The attacks against her from the left are so typically lame and feeble it is laughable.  Hilarious even--------She kills wolves and bears, she shoots a gun,  she used her downs syndrome baby as a political ploy, shes a bad bad mother she should of aborted that baby for its own good,  she works for big oil, she fired a state trooper, her husband kills fish for a living, shes religious, shes governor of a state with 13 people and some caribou, she owns seven igloos !!!   On and on and on and on we go  bring it on ! We are all laughing at you while you scramble around with tongues wagging !  Got any more good jokes for us today ? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm we are waiting !

Answer 24

Well, like everything else, we are all entitled to our opinion.  However, I think it is a smart choice and my vote goes to McCain/Palin.

Also, all  you thumb downers - this is an opinion poll - if you don't like the question or the opinons expressed  - move onto something else.

And I can just see them coming now before I even hit submit.

Hugs.

Southern Gal

Answer 25

It is wrong to attack Palin. This is the first time most people are even hearing about her. Palin is a strong conservative who has a lifetime NRA membership - loves hunting. Doesn't believe in global warming being the fault of pollution or industry or anything like that. She will protect the sanctity of marriage (as being between a man and woman only) and strongly defend the rights of the unborn. Palin is actually far more conservative than McCain, who, let's face it might not even live through his first term. Plus, Palin wasn't shy when it came to letting people know she's proud of being a strong woman when she called Hillary Clinton a whiner.  

Answer 26

Hey sweetie I am with ya all the way, How jealous are the rest of them, or is it that just maybe, the libs may loose to this fresh face of a woman, who has the happiest way ot talking I have ever seen in a woman politician, and oh so eloquently!!, she puts the rest of those lib women to shame, She seems to be very feminine, yet strong on her convictions!! Lets wait and see, Of course the others will try to drag her thru the dirt, but I think she is tough and can take it, she may have a great comeback to any mud slinging!!!!

Answer 27

Is YOUR name sarah palin? lol, "strong woman", seriously?  lol!

I'll give her kudos for assisting the Democrats win the 08 election! The corruption incident that you are all ignoring here will be released in october...eh hem...the state trooper who got b*tch slapped by her when she fired him for ticking off her sister...even w/out that incident, she's a total wrecking ball for McCain's chance, poor McCain, his own party must of not wanted him to win! Thank you sara palin!

Answer 28

Before attacking her, I would read up on her.  She's no wilting violet.  As one Alaska reporter put it, "the streets are littered with the bodies of those who opposed Sarah Palin".  She's a tough cookie.

You can read up on her with the links to local Alaska media coverage of the announcement in the special Sarah Palin section on the front page of http://www.USAMediaGuide.com, including a link to the Anchorage newspaper's biography of her.

Answer 29

She's fantastic.  If they try to attack her one of two things will happen.  A.  She will tear them apart and eat their lunch or

B.  They'll say something stupid and look like morons for attacking such a nice woman.

I'd imagine a little of both/or a lot of both.

Can't wait to see her & Biden go at it!!!!!!

I saw some liberal on the internet complaining that she LET HER CHILD LIVE with down syndrome.  Absolutely disgusting comment by an angry/jealous/scared Lib.

Answer 30

I think she is FANTASTIC and just what John McCain needs to compliment his campaign. What is even funnier is that the Obama worshipers are saying how little experience she brings to the campaign but they fail to notice is that she has MORE experience than Obama., First she was a mayor then she became the governor and served on many .committees   The only committee Obama served on was the one that William Ayers was on. Obama has NEVER run ANYTHING
