Will you help me separate fact from fiction?

Question

Okay. I've heard a lot of things about Governor Palin. I'm wondering what is fact and what is fiction. What are her stances? Do they completely reflect McCain's or do they differ? What would it mean for America if she became VP? What would it mean for America if McCain won the presidency?

Also, who is Joe Biden? What are his stances? What would it mean for America if the democrats were elected into office?

I'm wanting opinions on this to decide who to vote for. I am a Liberal Democrat, but I find it hard to vote for Obama. So, I'm wanting to know all my options from fellow Americans [or from other countries if you'd like to] rather than the media.

Answer 1

From what I understand so far, she is pro-life, supports ownership of guns, and she's not your typical politician.  Why?  The mere fact that she don't have a degree in law or political science is proof of that.

She also kicked out a load of Republicans and democrats as well from the state government for being so corrupted!  She's not doing the oil companies any flavors in AK either.

Answer 2

one needs to do their own research and vote for the one they think is best suited, no one can tell you who to vote for, that's a personal, private choice, kinda like who one should marry, only you can decide

my choice for me is McCain

Answer 3

I would, but it would be a waste of time. Re: Liberal Democrat. Sorry.

McCain/Palin 08!

Answer 4

Be patient my pet.

We will all find out soon.

When she verbally lambastes and belittles bin laden--- biden

Answer 5

First off the opinions of people from other countries should not affect how you vote. They don't live here, and thus have no official say.  We'd be in a heap more trouble then we are, if they did.

Secondly you should listen to the debates that are sure to come up, and read up on each of the candidates political histories. Ask your self

these questions after doing so.

1.who has more experience

2.who has more influence with all outsiders

3.who has a better plan for us

4.who is more sincere

5.who can be a better leader then the one we've had for the last 8 years.

Finally you make a decision, that you can live with.

Answer 6

Palin got into government because she couldn't stand all of the corruption.  She even went against, and ousted, a bunch of Republicans!  She has an 80% approval rating in Alaska, which is way higher than the norm.  As Govenor, she sold the Govenor's jet because she felt it was costing the Alaskian people too much money.  She seems to be a strong woman who is not afraid to tell a man when he's wrong!  

There is a website that was started by a college student who doesn't even live in Alaska.  He started it in 2007 & wanted to get Palin as the VP.  His website is full of info about her.  http://palinforvp.blogspot.com/

Answer 7

This is very easy to answer.  She is Republican, meaning, she has to answer three questions:

1.  Are you anti-abortion

2.  Do you support gun rights

3.  Are you for higher taxes to the middle class and less to the upper class.

That's all you need to know because that's all conservative republicans care about.

The other side is more complex and takes a little more thought.  That's because it has taken more thought in their ideas.  If you want better education, tax cuts for the middle class, and an affordable health care system for all then you are clearly a democrat supporter.  Look up the democrat agenda (blueprints) and compare them to the Republican agenda and decifer yourself.  Unfortunately, people forget to do this and then we are stuck with what we have currently.  

Answer 8

What is known for certain:

She is Pro Life

She is anti Big Oil

She is anti Gun Control, and a member of the NRA

She wants to drill for oil in protected areas of Alaska

She wants to remove the endangered species listing on Polar Bears

She has a bachelor's degree in journalism

Answer 9

She is a conservative.  We need her.  She is also young, and very likable.  She puts new life into the GOP.  God bless her!!

Answer 10

That is the effects of the liberal media's Jedi Mind Trick. They know they can confuse the issue by attacking her and they will make it up if they can't find it.

Answer 11

Why do you find it hard to vote for Obama?

Palin is far more conservative than Bush and McCain. She wants science classes to teach Bible stories and she is staunchly anti-abortion...even in cases where the mother's life is in jeopardy, rape, and incest.

She is also being investigated for using her office for a personal vendetta. As for her high approval ratings mentioned above, they have now dropped significantly since she admitted that her office had played a part in her personal vendetta. She also lied about her part in the 'bridge to nowhere' scheme. http://thinkprogress.org/2008/08/29/pali...

Kitty Star: What could he have done to prove to you that he didn't remotely believe or agree in any way with what the man said? I mean, he completely denounced him, gave numerous talks about how he felt about what the man had said. Honestly....I sat in my own church--as the Youth Director--for 7 years. I loved my pastor and thought he was a great guy. I invited a g*y friend of ours to church one day, and told my pastor he was coming. The pastor seemed fine with it, but went home and wrote a passionate sermon liking g*y people to Hitler and terrorists....I am not kidding. Thankfully, our friend had a flat tire that day. I had absolutely NO idea that the pastor felt that way....I knew he was more conservative than me and I knew there were things I didn't agree with him on, but I had no idea that he had that sort of ideology until that day. I think if you look at everyone you know, you will find numerous people who--when pushed--would say something that you utterly disagree with. I don't think that should be the basis of judging YOUR character, but theirs. Further, McCain has his own set of spiritual advisors....one who calls ALL Muslims akin to satan and the other who calls the Catholic church the great satan. Do you judge McCain with those same standards?

Answer 12

how she stands on the issues.
