Do you think the media have treated Republican Vice Presidential nomiee Sarah Palin fairly?

What has

What has bush done for this country? How many people has he killed in war? How about this economy. Are you so wealthy you don't know what to do? How about the grocery store, are you struggling to put food on the table with the prices? How about gas, how do like the prices? How about making money period, how many small businesses have closed this year? How about construction, what happened to that? Oh, vote for your mccain/palin. NOTHING WILL CHANGE! EXCEPT IN ALASKA!

Buy a clue

In 1976 Jimmy Carter ran on the same "oh the economy is terrible" platform.

Four years later we all realized just how much WORSE it could get when the Democrats attacked every problem with a tax increase.

Bush is militarily incompetent. McCain is a fan of bigger government.

But Obama is truly frightening, a throwback who sincerely believes that Communism could work if we give it more than the seventy-five years the Soviet Union tried.

Do you really want a government that tells you how much you need, and takes away anything over that?

When speaking of the

When speaking of the question of qualifications for the position of Vise President, I do feel Palin is better qualified then Biden. Although Palin has been in politices for a shorter amount of time compared to Biden, look at what she has accomplished and compare her 80% approval rating to Biden's 8% to 14% as a member of congress.

Sarah Palin

I AM VERY INTERESTED IN ALL THE DIFFERENT VIEWS THAT HAVE COME TO LIGHT. BUT THE FACT IS THAT WOMEN ARE STILL LOOKED UPON AS SUBMISSIVE HOUSEWIVES ONLY PUT UPON THE EARTH TO HAVE CHILDREN,KEEP HOUSE AND KEEP YOUR HUSBAND HAPPY. I AM APPALED BY THE THOUGHT THAT WOMEN WHO HAVE A FAMILY CAN NOT BE THE NEXT VP. IT IS A DOUBLE STANDARD AND PAINS ME TO THINK A WOMEN COULD NOT DO A GOOD OR EVEN BETTER JOB. I MEAN WHO DO YOU THINK KICKED PAUL REVERE OUT OF BED, COOKED HIM A HOT BREAKFAST AND MADE HIM RUN AND WARN OF THE BRITISH. YES HIS WIFE. I AM PROUD TO BE A STRONG AMERICAN WOMEN AND WILL BE CASTING MY VOTE FOR SARAH AND JOHN

Turn Around Time...for the Democrats!

It seems the Democrats are beaten by their own kind of political strategy. Now Republicans have a charismatic, young and in touch, candidate on their ticket, who by the way is also a fine representative in any office she has served. This must rankle the Democrats, who tout this kind of candidate as the exclusive property of their party.
But now the best part. All the criticisms of Ms. Palin by the Demos, are just the type of "incorrect" views usually hung on the Republicans. What a complete and unassailable turn-around!!

Palin Rocks

she's experianced, she knows how to use an M4 Carbine, she hunt's and she's hot....ROCK ON McCain/Palin 2008

Palin joke?

Seems she is so good with a gun we should send her to Iraq.

She worked hard to allow indiscriminate hunting of wildlife in Alaska (I am sure there is nothing more important). She has spent millions of Alaska state dollars on aerial hunting of wolves and bears from helicopters and airplanes, dollars that should have been spent, for example, on Alaska's failing school system.

Prior to her one year as governor of Alaska, she was mayor of Wasilla, a small red neck town outside Anchorage. The average maximum education level of parents of junior high school kids in Wasilla is 10th grade.

When you line Palin up with Biden, the comparison would be laughable if it weren't so serious. The choice of Palin is a cheap shot by McCain to try to get Hillary supporters to vote for him. When McCain introduced her Palin had the nerve to compare herself with Hillary and Geraldine Ferraro. Sarah Palin is no Hillary Clinton.

Yes, the comparison is stark

Biden has sacrificed the few ethics he ever had and hitched his wagon to a Socialist who wants to dedicate his administration to the redistribution of wealth.

Palin believes in Capitalism and free enterprise.

The trouble is Biden did too, until he was offered the VP slot. He better be careful - a lot of those corporations that Comrade Obama hates are headquartered in Delaware.

Your right Sarah Pail is no

Your right Sarah Pail is no Hillary Clinton. Mrs. Palin is much better. She is more realistic than any other politicians. Enough said

A vote for Sarah

Move over world! This is just what we need, a female vice-president. I listened to her the other night and I can tell you that she has more class in her little finger than the majority of politicians all put together! So she is a woman and has a family. Big deal. Anyone that has a wife, mother, or grandmother knows that she has more responsibilities and can juggle those responsibilities better than any man in this country! And come on media - you want to know how she will do, go ask Barack Obama how he will handle his responsibilites as a dad! Ask his wife how she will handle the children as the President's wife! Now get off your double standard soapbox and start doing something worthwhile, like reporting the news, without your private opinions and prejudices.

If you watch the tabloid tv

If you watch the tabloid tv shows, like Extra, The Insider, ET, etc. for the last few days, you would have thought her daughter is the only 17 year old unwed pregnant teen in the history of the world. Five minutes after their "breaking news", and "shocking revelations", they were on there oohhing and aahhing over some movie star whose girlfriend had just had a baby and yet he did not intend to marry her. ET also showed a picture of Palin several times in a stars and stripes bikini holding some sort of rifle, and then very quietly and quickly mentioned it wasn't real but Photoshop. The "great journalist" Perez Hilton had apparently posted it all over the internet. ET was just further compounding the situation. Some of the mainstream media outlets are just as bad. They need to stick to reporting facts and where the candidates stand on the issues instead of turning the campaign into trash tv.

Palin

Shes a bull dog but that doesnt mean she would make a good VP. she teaches absentes but it didnt work with her daughter.So I dont think it will work for any body else.Some bull dogs that dont let go end up with a broken jaw or worse a bullet in the head. DONT LIKE HER WONT VOTE FOR HER

Careful Trudy

Careful Trudy, that kind of talk will earn you a visit from Secrect Service!! Don't you watch the news???

Be Careful Where You Throw Those Stones

If you don't like Republicans, fine, vote for your party. Be careful with those stones. Your buddy Obama is the product of an unwed Mother (they have a name for that); Your buddy Bill Clinton and Johnny (Dollar) Edwards practice out of wedlock sex and lie about it. All non issues to me. I'd much rather look at the real issues.

Comment

The key is how well she can work across party lines and with folks that she disagrees with.We are just coming out of eight years of not working with the folks you disagree with.Where are we at now.Everyone needs to focus on where things stand and where you want to go.The real issues are economy, healthcare, jobs, and the war issue.I want to hear her comments on these.

unwed mother

Obamas parents were married by the time he was born. The couple married in 1961 in Hawaii, after discovering she was pregnant.

More than I can say for a lot of folks.

Geeezz... while we are on the subject:(FACT): McCain cheated on his first wife with his current eye candy RICH wife.

"Out of wedlock sex" ?? WOW that is so 1930's.

You may want to take your own advice about those stones.

NO presidential candidate is ever perfect. In this day and age it is even worse.

Palin is major anti abortion but has NO problem blowing the brains out of innocent animals, go figure. Gun toting woman? NO Thanks.

Reporting

If they stuck to reporting the facts they couldn't push their agendas.

yeah i do not think that how

yeah i do not think that how is she going to be a good mother to them really is any of their business...its Sarah and Tom's business, not the world. they dont ask how is obama going to be a good father to his kids, in fact have they ever done this to anyone? they just dont like the fact that because Palin is now on the ticket that the republican party has a good chance to beat their oh so perfect obama....yuck

VP Palin

The question of whether or not Sara Palin could be an effective mother and carry out the responsibilities of the job is a violation of federal employment questions. As this election is effectively a employment opportunity, why is the media above the law in asking this type of question?

re VP Palin

uhm...it's a violation for the company hiring her to ask those type of questions. She's not applying for a job with any of the TV/News/Tabliod companies.

If she didn't have all this stuff in her closet that she's hiding, she shouldn't worry about what the media is saying about her. But if it's all true, then maybe she's not as perfect as the republican party is telling you.

Pretty empty closet

What kind of "stuff?" The fact that her husband got a DUI TWENTY-TWO years ago?

The fact that her daughter got knocked up? (We KNOW that would never happen to Chelsea Clinton unless she was dating a guy from The Hadley School.)

The fact that she supposedly "pressured" the director of public safety....BEFORE she was even governor?

The simple fact is that as soon as it became apparent that McCain had selected a pit bull that can likely make life mighty unconfortable for Obama and Biden, the media went nuts trying to dig up any dirt they could find - anything at all, regardless of how silly it is.

She's probably a better choice for the oval office than any of the other three bums.

I agree. Their perfect

I agree. Their perfect Obama?Biden ticket now has a chance of losing. Oh no!!! Quick hurry find something that happened over 20 years ago, quick talk about her daughter being unwed and pregnant. Well, at least she is not doing what a lot of teenagers in her position would do, killing the baby. I like her views on abortion, i like her public appearence, i like the fact that she can SPEAK to a croud without saying UH a million times like Obama. He cannot give a interview or speech without saying UH or UM about 50 million times, and yet yall pick on Bush. I think democrats are very hypocritical, and wishy washy, they need to learn their views and stick to them!

Views

Democrats already know their views. It is whatever will get them elected.

and if thats not working

and if thats not working they just up and switch their views!
