So I nearly threw my TV out the window because all these biased morons have been relentlessly attacking Palin.
Seriously people, she's just a woman.
But maybe that's what the Dems are so afraid of.
I mean they're the ones who are supposed to be 'all inclusive' and 'all for womens rights' and so forth and all that noise. Maybe it's embarassing that a woman from THEIR ticket doesn't have a chance in this election to run. Sure they have Obama, a minority-mooching black man, but the only thing Obama has that Palin doesn't is a job in the Senate[in which the majority of votes he cast were PRESENT because he can't make a decision to save his life]. But even then, her track record is longer.
She's not a DC Suit which is what the Democrats were planning for.
They were ready for Romney as VP nominee, but were taken offgaurd by Palin.
I think all this diving into her personal life is just because they don't have anything truely bad to go off of. Haha. Pathetic, media, truely pathetic.

She seems like a cool person. I'd love to play basketball with her anyday, though she could probably own me at it.
I don't think Barry Obama did anything like that in Highschool. Haha.

(UPDATE SEPT 22) It has been pointed out on the comments section of this blog that this list is the list of books banned at one point or another in the U.S. (very distrubing in it’s own right). Sarah Palin did not ask that all these books be banned - but, if you listen to interviews with the librarian from Wisilla you would get the impression that she was no PRO library either….

Below is a list of the books Sarah Palin tried to have banned from the Wasilla, Alaska Library. When I was in Anchorage two years ago, residents of Wasilla I met described the place as a growing, more-and-more suburban community north of Anchorage. In her speech, Palin called the area “the valley.” Mayor Palin would seem to be a strong force in the suburbanization of the village of Wasilla. When the Wasilla librarian refused to trash these books, Mayor Palin tried to have her fired. This caused a stir in Wasilla which then turned into a drive to protect the librarian. Some of my favorite examples of American literature are on this list. This is the act of a patriotic American? No, this is the act of a religious fundamentalist trying to squeeze herself into the role of a mythic frontier American. The attempt to ban American literary masterpieces like Catcher In The Rye, Grapes Of Wrath, To Kill A Mockingbird, Death Of A Salesman, Leaves Of Grass, As I Lay Dying, Huckleberry Finn, Catch 22 and Tarzan indicates, flags and Bible citations aside, her ascendance to national power would be downright un-American. In the realm of Rovian political marketing and the unfolding effort to win the Presidency not with ideas but with a cult of personality, McCain is the humiliated warrior ready to “go to the gates of hell” to preserve American exceptionalism and Sarah Palin is his fascist “bride,” a mythic frontier mom able to shoot, gut and cook a moose while nurturing her family who has said publicly our war in Iraq is supported by God and people should pray to God to get the Alaska gas pipeline approved.

This is a pivotal moment in American history, and we all need to expose this cult of personality for what it is, a cynical sham. Please pass this on far and wide.

This my friends is why I dislike Palin/McCain, one is pro-choice, the other is for restricting our First Amendment and most of these books have their readers think about issues with America... what kind of person bans our culture? If McCain dies, or a tie is placed in congress I do not want a control freak in office!!!

This has been proven false. Sarah Palin did not try to have these books banned. All those news outlets saying this is true are just trying to smear Palin. It's called the drive by media for a reason. They drive by, excited to smear Palin, not realizing they are spreading a lie.

Here's some proof:

That clears a lot of it up x.X
I still don't like McCain though the reason being is just something about him, along with Palin, although Palin has great charisma!

They were only until they decided Obama was the one they were going to root for.

Many Hillary supporters are voting for Palin because they feel Hillary was mistreated by the media.

I'm against Palin. I think she'd make a horrible vice president. She was a good choice as a campaign running mate simply because she was able to rally conservative support to McCain's side, but in office she'll be a disaster. As a Fascist, I oppose her whole mindset.

- P.S I apologize for not being so active lately, I'm back for now.

I completely agree, Palin is a true American that is very good for this country. Not only were the Democrates scared of her, but the Media was terrified of her. Thats why they brought her pregnant daughter into it. How low! Not only did she know what she was talking about, but she connected with the people. The best part in the election was when she totally owned Biden in the vice president debates. I was laughing so hard!  
PostPosted: Wed Jun 03, 2009 9:03 pm
Yeah, but observing Biden's performance as Vice President, that's like beating a one-legged sprinter.

Sara Palin would not only be great for our country, she is a very strong conservative. We need this back in our party. Sara had more experience than Obama and the only reason she did not have a chance is because of the liberal media. The media is still going after her family. As for McCain he was just the best between him and Obama.

It's funny how people are so quickly dismissive of McCain and in love with Sarah Palin, yet they seem to overlook the fact that if it weren't for McCain, she would have just been some backwater governor.

Actually I'm proud of him for taking the chance with Sara and bringing her forward in her career. I have always been supportive of McCain on most issues but, like I was saying he is a little towards the left side on certain issues. I was wearing a McCain button everyday.
