Her resume says it all. | 8:46 a.m. Sept. 3, 2008
She's proving the Peter Principle right now -- she's not qualified or able to handle the Vice Presidency. No, thanks, Sarah -- don't want you a heartbeat away from the Presidency.

It was reported that Levi, Palin's future son in law will attend the GOP convention. He's a hockey player. And as you all know, hockey is the national sport of Canada, and very popular in Russia and eastern Europe. With those qualifications, he'd make a fine Secretary of State in the McCain administration.

Here's the big question folk's. Did you see the Utah Republicans and watch on TV "the ABC Evening News" your loyal to Utah Republican icon's that are "for the people" per se, at the parties with their lobbyist's while they were to "take it light" because of a hurricane, in a different "face mode"?. And was to be in morning over it per se. I am ticked folks. Are you?. You should be, you elected them in that "Red State". What did they do for you lately?. Last Friday, our campaign was proud to welcome Governor Sarah Palin to the ticket as John McCain's running mate. Over the past few days, the GOP campaign has received an outpouring of support in the form of record-breaking donations and crowds of supporters who have packed rallies in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Missouri, but what about all the other States?. Tomorrow night, Governor Palin will officially accept (with over zealous hype) the nomination to be the first (radical feminist W-Oman) female Republican Vice Presidential candidate in history.

I'm a Red State Republican 2 | 9:33 a.m. Sept. 3, 2008
(the GOP) is giving you the opportunity (you got that wrong, it's US, your walking ATM's that are giving you the opportunity to sit on your "do nothing ass in a seat for the people because we are not BIG OIL nor big business nor your personal lobbyist) to get to know Governor Palin a little better through an exclusive video you can watch. We know everyone is anticipating John McCain and Governor Palin's speeches at the Republican National Convention later this week. We hope you'll take the time tonight to watch the following speakers during tonight's convention prime-time program (that is if the liberal news media shows it on prime time TV and not just cable tv only). President Bush will deliver remarks (not face to face as he should really do in the first place) buy via satellite. Mrs. Laura Bush, Senators Fred Thompson and Joe Lieberman and many others will also speak. We encourage you (if you have cable tv) to tune in tonight between the hours of 8:30 to 10:00 CST.



I will still Vote for McCain this November. No one else to choose from.

The social conservative bulldog wants to tell us what our families should look like, and how they should function. Ironic, I think.

I'm a little torn about this. On one hand I'm excited for Palin who will stand strong enough to do what she believes even if its against her own party. She has brought energy. However it does worry me with so little experience that she would be just a death away from the presidency. I'm tired of the details of her daughter. That was her daughter's choice not Palin's. Its unimportant to politics and the next presidency. Its time to ignore the energy brought by Palin as well as ignoring Obama's great oration. Focus on the policies of the two possible administrations and how well they could actually enact the policies and deal internationally and domestically. Isn't that whats going to make the true difference to American life during the next presidency? Great speaking, youthful energy, being the first black president, or woman vice president; none of that matters. What are the concerns and what can the next president do about them? Better perspective needs to be taken in this election. Its not a beauty pageant or a showcase its the leadership of this country.

I watched a little bit of the GOP convention the other night, but fell asleep about 2 minutes into it. Tonight I've decided to do something a little more exciting. Clean my toothbrush.

YOUR 100% right. "I'm a little torn about this. On one hand I'm excited for Palin who will stand strong enough to do what she believes even if its against her own party. She has brought energy. However it does worry me with so little experience that she would be just a death away from the presidency. I'm tired of the details of her daughter." I to will watch the Obamacon and his phony sidekick veep as well as the other O'bots a little longer because my doctor told me I needed to laugh more and laughing will lower my blood pressure. As for you Obamacon young O'bots if you really want a change, turn off the computer, go to the telephone, call up your mom to come home, and, change your diaper, than you'll have your true change you are really seeking in life.

What are the concerns and what can the next president do about them?, well that's simple, elect them somewhat blind, and wait for 4 years to pass by from your life, hope a lot, get nothing, and cry about it next election. Than you'll know. Not sooner. Any question's?.

I've heard that the boyfriend who's going to appear with the Palins is a high school dropout.

Some political writers are starting to call them snow billies.

This is not rocket science folks. A 5th grader knows that McFossil made the wrong choice. He picked a PTA Mom with Spears family values.

OBSERVER, you sound just a little bit like a disgruntled, thoroughly biased Democrat which trumps your credibility. Fred Thompson and Joe Liberman were very convincing and ate the Democrat's lunch. Small wonder you thought it was so boring. Hope you got your toothbrush clean.

Watched the corpses being wheeled out to address the convention last night. Thompson and Lieberman look like mummies, and Bush looked downright embalmed. It was fun listening to them running against their own record all night.

People worry that Palin will have to neglect her family to be Veep. not so. Veep is a completely empty job (except for Cheney, who's been filling the power vacuum in Bush's brain). She'll have more time than ever to care for the family. It's perfect.

I was going to vote for McCain, but now I am not. I don't think our country is ready for a female vice-president.

So, why are her qualifications so important? Obama supporters don't seem to care at all that he has no experience leading anything. `

Hey, editors, let's see some coverage about Sarah Palin's attempt as mayor of Wasilla to get certain unnamed books removed from the public library. What books were they? And what about her effort to fire the librarian - which Palin reversed after the Wassila voters protested? We need more information about this.

So hopefully the reformer Palin will explain tonight why she supported the bridge to nowhere and hired a heavy weight lobbying group to get millions in ear marks for her town.

Go Sarah! At least you stand for something! I like how you meet the challenges head on.

Never underestimate the power of an intelligent capable, woman!
