She might wallop a punch, but her home news paper states that she is not truthful, and that is the same old Bush and Cheney mentality. Before all is said and done, America will hear and know the truth regarding Sarah Palin, and the song whose sorry now will become America's theme song. I can give a roaring speech, but I know that I am not qualified or competent or knowledgeable nor have the expertise in the area of vice presidency, and I hope that Americans will not be that gullible to believe that Ms. Palin has it either. Someone stated in a previous article that she can look at black and call it white and never blink, and they were not lying. When she left Warsilla, she left them in 22 million dollar debt. Plus, it is due to the pitbull, cowboy, arrogant, and incompetence mentality that has placed this country in such ruins. So if America wants more of the same, than its up to them. Besides, I want Ms. Pitbull to meet Mr. Putin and all the other world leaders. John McCain may not die in office, but heaven help us if he becomes incompacitated, and Ms. Pitbulb takes over the reins; this country will be in for the sleigh ride of their lives.

I was delighted to see Failin' Palin confirm our beliefs last night that she has no business in politics. That vindictive, nasty, muck-slinging speech proves why women do not make politicians. Oh,sure, the lying is in place, but to be as uncontrolled and rude as she was? I admire Obama even more that he has taken the high road and is not responding to this circus called the RNC. He has class. What bothers me is that a lot of uneducated America will fall for HER "one of the boys" routines. Can you see Palin dealing with foreign dignitaies in the same makeup? (And I don't mean lipstick.) She should hurry on back to Alaska--if they still want her. After eight years of Cowboy Politics, we need more of a change than McBush and Vice McBush.

When I look at Sarah Palin, all I see is a bigoted, small-minded, mean-mouthed woman who wants to decide whether I'm worthy of living in the same country with her. I lived in a small town for six years while I was a teenager and knew way too many people like her. I never looked back when I left, and the thought of this narrow-spirited woman as the second in line to the presidency sends shivers up my spine.

This woman is the joke. Not one republican ever heard of her until she was put in our face. McCain calls the media sexist and this so called pit bull agrees. Funny, Palin called Hillary a whiner for complaining she felt sexism was in play. I think this is going to blow up in the faces of the hateful right. Her speech was right out of Carl Roves playbook of hate. Lipstick is no excuse for hate. Not one mention of what she and McBUSH can do for us. Nada!

I intend to vote for Obama in November, but quite honestly the letter here contain so many unfair and/or unfounded attacks on Palin, that I half wish she was on the Obama ticket rather than Biden.

For example, she increased the long term debt of Wasilla, but much of that constitutes (what amounts to) a mortgage on a large sports complex that serves the people, especially the youth, of Wasilla.

Correct me if I am wrong, but nearly all major facilities and capital expenditures in the US, such as hospitals, libraries, courthouses etc. are financed in this way over the long term, rather than paid for by cash out the the current year's revenues.

Personal incomes in Alaska are higher than in the lower 48, so this project hardly seems to represent an intolerable burden on the people of Wasilla.

Similarly, there is little evidence that she is gung-ho on abstinence-only sex education in public schools, or that she prevented her daughter from accessing information on, or obtaining birth control.

So she favors more drilling for oil in Alaska? Well do I, because I intend to buy a new car soon and hope it will last the ten years until President Obama has eliminated the use of oil and I can get me a nuclear-powered golf cart to get around in.

So she wants to ban bad books? Not good, but hardly anyone reads anything in the US these days except for Harry Potter books.

Is she fit to be the next-but-one President of the US? Hell, no! But let's stick to real reasons why she would be a hopeless President-in-waiting, like her lack of experience of foreign affairs.

And another thing. I am not so sure Biden will give her a pasting in the debates. Biden is a windbag who thinks he is much smarter than he really is, and often comes across as incredibly condescending. I would not be surprised if he gets egg on his face.

While Ms. Pitbull run-amock is distracting, the Bush administration is busy passing every corrupt executive order that he can. He has stolen all of the powers from the National Guard; Ms.Pitbull did not see that coming. Plus, Cheney is saber rattling with Russia and Iran, and North Korea is firing up their nuclear program, and our troops entered Pakistan, and Pakistan is furious, yet Ms. Pitbull is dawing her lipstick and sputtering out hateful, devisive, and vengeful words while "The Band Played On!"

I noticed how after the speech the press groveled and purred over Palin without bothering to find out how people not the gop base felt.

I read comments on many sites from Indies and listened to call in on Cspan.

It seems she greatly offended the indies. The only ones who liked her speech were the base and the press that the McCain camp spent yesterday bullying around.

It was a disaster for McCain as far as independents went. Instead of Hillaryites and fence sitters falling for it they were upset and said there was zero substance and she did not answer the questions of why she should be vp or anything on the issues.

I think the press and the gop think it's still 2000 or 04. That this stuff is still selling.

People are hurting and demand more then just culture wars. They want substance and the gop is not providing it and Palin was roundly panned.
