All I have to say right now about Palin is that she better sharpen up her ability to articulate answers and actually display some knowledge of the issues or she is going to get slaughtered in the VP debates and is going to align herself with the failed administration now in power.

Also, she better start to answer some of the questions that are being asked of her by the press. Whatever your view of FOX and MSNBC are, it doesn't cancel out the vast majority of real Journalists working for thousands of outlets whose job it is to get answers from politicians to provide to the public. I absolutley don't buy the argument from her camp that "the press is being unfair". Can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen.

When asked in a town hall appearance with McCain what specific skills she could bring to the table she replied "I am prepared."
"I have that confidence. I have that readiness," Palin said. "And if you want specifics with specific policies or countries, you can go ahead and ask me. You can play 'stump the candidate' if you want to. But we are ready to serve."

Thanks for the specifics Sarah, now I feel much better about you after you completely cleared that up. Whether you like her or not you have to wonder about her debate with Biden. They can cram her with all the info in the world but a camera and an opponent standing 5 feet away will show what you are made of. Just remember what Clinton did to G.H.W. Bush in the debates. It may not win the election, but you have to think Biden has to be caged when he even thinks about the debate, while Palin is being held back until she is taught the right answers to every possible question. What you will hear from Palin in every interview and in the debate will be very formatted by people behind the scenes.

Just curious Over the Hill...did you vote for Kerry because of his Vietnam experience or did you vote for Jr.?

LDD: I did vote for Bush and not Kerry in the last election because of the war on terrorism. Like I said many times before, in previous elections I voted for the lesser of two evils so to speak. We haven't had an attack on American soil sice 9/11. Is it because of Bush taking a hard line against them? It would be nice to think so but, who really knows? The US. is waging a battle against a very VERY patient enemy. Look at many years they planned the 9/11 attacks. Peace is great, but we are dealing with an enemy that values death for their cause more than life.

His comment about "maybe 100 years" was taken out of context. He didn't mean occupation forces, but possibly a base. We've been in Okinawa for 63 years. Germany for the same amount of time. The Phillippines for over 100 years. With the possible exception of S. Korea, I don't hear too many people suggesting we close these bases.

When was the last time Okinawa, Germany, the Phillippines, or possibly SK had problems with suicide bombings? If the violence in Iraq was reduced to the point that we had a death rate comparable to what Okinawa currently has, I might be willing to compare the two and entertain the thoughts of a long term base. But as we all know, the longest strecth of peace in the mideast...ever...has been only as long as it takes to reload. That's why the 100 year base, no matter the context, should be, IMO, out of the question.

"Obama using tele-promters now for all his speeches? It's an election... Both sides will try to avoid tough questions when they can."

The point is nobody actually knows where she stands other than..."she's for drilling" yeahhhh!! "She's pro-life"...which isn't even a political stance since Roe V. Wade will never be overturned, most conservatives even admit that. I mean WTF?? At the very least I expect my politicians to be able to articulate what they believe about EVERY major political issue. From what I've seen so far she hasn't even shown that she comprehends what the major political issues are. She better hurry up before she looks like a total puppet.

Yesterday she answered one question from a reporter about the current financial crisis. She said that it is the fault of de-regulation and then she said we need to get government out of the free market and let it correct itself. What? Huh?

Show me something Sarah. It doesn't even matter who I vote for. If she wins, she could be our president and I want to know that she knows her a$$ from drilling rig. So far she hasn't impressed me at all.

Good point however that kind of apathy won't do anyone any good. Personally, I'd never get elected.... I unlike many want someone in office who is smarter than me, not someone who seems like he'd sit down and have a beer with me. As far as disagreement goes, it is a privelage. In many countries you have no choice, you cannot disagree, and you have no vote. The disagreement and political debating is a great thing no matter what. Also the greatest thing about U.S. politics is even if you disagree with the candidate or someone who votes for them we still can be civil and not let it go too far into our lives.

The only thing worse than voting for who I am against is someone who doesn't vote at all and thinks that we have no power and that an average citizen's opinion does not matter.

I heard a commentator yesterday blame Bush for this financial crisis. He said Bush pressured the banks to make these bad loans to people who were at risk.

Palin is a breath of fresh air into the Washington political arena. I think she has guts, and is not corrupted yet (or too bad) by Washington politics. Is she getting coached? HE(( yea! Who isn't? I really find it amusing how people are getting so upset because she is on the GOP VP ticket. Watching the news is really good entertainment. The democratic stratigists really screwed up by not picking Hillary. Mac pulled one out of his hat with her. Great strategy.

When/if she becomes VP and has to break a tie vote in the senate... I wonder if SHE'LL vote "present", or is that something you only learn in an ivy league school.... lol....

Oh and a big THANK YOU to Obama for calling me stupid if I vote for her. I think he better stick to his telepromters or get out of the kitchen with those remarks. His foundation is cracking....

"Palin is a breath of fresh air into the Washington political arena."

Yeahhh right. That's believable. Someone that would be a breathe of fresh air would be someone who doesn't listen to their stupid freakin advisors or go on partisan rants thought up by pundits. A breathe of fresh air would be someone who speaks what they believe and who looks at the person asking them a question and responds truthfully, even if it isn't what the hordes of true believers want to hear. Palin is a politician, just like the rest of them. Don't try to paint her as some savior, she's not, unless you really dislike McCain's politics enough, in which case she probably is a savior for you. She's a driven woman who has done well for herself. She's not particulary intelligent, charismatic or wise and she's new to the scene. She has worked hard and been rewarded with the spotlight. IMO, she is stumbling in the National spotlight so far. If she could be our next president then she needs to face the fire. She has only turned away from it.

As for Obama, he's got support, there's nothing "Big" that's lurking out there to really disrupt his momentum. I think he has a better than %50 chance of being our next president.

Convinced me... Voting for Obama now... He doesn't have anyone telling him anything... That's why he votes "present" so much and 97% of the time with his party..... LOL!

I heard on the news this morning that he's at 48% and McCain is at 43% with up to 3% variance either way... I'd like to know what happened to the other percent... lol

Don't get me wrong OTH, I generally don't try to persuade people to vote either way. To me, it's only important that you vote, which I'm sure you do.

As far as Obama being different...nah...I don't think so. He's a politician just like the rest. What I do appreciate about him, however, is that he has dealt with criticisms and scandals head on. He doesn't shirk them. He appears to be a man of honor and truth. I get that from him. I believe McCain is that way too. He has conducted himself admirably in his career as a Senator. I appreciate that and I appreciate that both men appear to understand that their job is to support the will of the American people. I think we'll be all right no matter what man wins. I really do. But...

Palin is no savior in my book, she's new, that's it. Thus far, she has not impressed me in any way. If she has impressed you, that's good. Someone's doing something right.

I think both men understand they have to PRETEND like its their job to support the will of the american people, after all thats what big buiness is paying for and that is how they will get elected. It is amazing to me that it seems the government is powerless over these big corperations. If you are a CEO and you allowed your greed to destroy your company,which effects the economy(and our overall well being) then the government should seize all assets of that ceo.Instead the ceo will be walking away with a bonus as the rest of us bail his company out. This is not what america should stand for. My government fail me.

LDD: I can agree with you a lot of your points here. Voting is important. Everyone as the right to their say. With debatng on the forum here, hopefully it has made people more aware of the political process and what the candidates want to achieve... We're educating ourselves so to speak...that's a good thing.

They're all politicians, all making promises. How much will our government really change? I don't know honestly. Is she a savior? For MacCain's candidacy. She has livend up things for sure. I don't think he could have picked a better person to rev up his campaign. Palin's fiesty. She comes across as a go getter. I do like it. Something different.

Will our country survive either one elected, yea it will. Whoever wins has to get the support of the public again. Too many people disgusted with the way things are going. Whoever gets in has to get gas prices to come down ASAP. It is hurting everyone. I honestly don't know one person who has not changed their lifestyle because of high gas prices. I think most people on this forum can vouch for it also. The ripple effect is inflating all prices. The holidays are coming, how bad are the store sales going to be? Heck, a pizza pie around here went up 50% from last year, $8.00 to $12.00.

Jonny, I agree with you on the CEO part. It's disgusting how the CEO's that have a company go down the tubes but they still get their share and walk away for somebody else pick up the pieces and pay for it. You use to tell your kids to grow up and be a doctor, fireman, or a lawyer, and have a career you can do good at. I hear parents now say they want their kids to grow up and be a big CEO. Kind of sad...

Over the Hill you are right about whoever wins must get the people behind them. The problems we have in this country are not impossible to solve. Anyone remember good ole Yankee ingenuity? We just need to get creative and stop saying what we cannot do and start doing the things we can do.

In the area of energy, we throw away huge amounts of energy everyday. It is not that we don't have enough; we just are not using it. Methane gas can be generated from animal and human waste, solar energy can help, wind, geothermal, increases in energy efficiency all are viable solutions. If we are waiting for the market to bring the prices down and all the while still depending on oil, we will never go anywhere until the oil runs out. Why are we not as a people demanding our govt to help? Why not give significant tax breaks for installing solar panels where appropriate (not such a hot idea, yes the pun is intended, in NWPA), to farmers so they can build and maintain methane generators to run their farms, encourage the use of wind power where appropriate and etc...

I know that this can work. Last winter I was in Virginia visiting my mother and she asked me about the compact fluorescent bulbs and if they would be good for her home. I did a little research and said, it would save her a few dollars a month on her electric bill and yes I thought it was a good idea. Her reason for asking was the Virginia Power Company was offering the bulbs at nearly half off through Home Depot. So we decided to go buy some. When we got there, they were nearly sold out. We asked the guy if they were going to get more. His comment was they had sold out completely once, what was left was from the second stocking and yes they were going to get more. The bottom line, with a price break, people will buy high efficiency items. If it works for light bulbs, what about refrigerators, washing machines, solar panels, geothermal heating/cooling systems, etc...

When it comes to health care, there are simple answers there, but no one wants to listen. Why not have a national health care system where each person was covered and the coverage deals with all the basic items such as check ups, vaccinations, health screening, basic maintenance care for blood pressure, cholesterol, etc... and then each person or family pays into an insurance policy for the rest of the coverage based on the family income. Incentives could be given to companies that help employees with this cost. We could cut down on all the inefficiencies and mounds of paperwork and have a streamlined system that promotes health instead of trying to fix people once they are already sick. As for the tired argument about rationed care, we already have that. Ever try to see a specialist without insurance?

Transportation is another thing. For the life of me I do not understand why we do not have a high speed rail system in our country. Europe has one, Japan has one, heck China has one. With the new systems a person could travel from New York to LA in less than 24 hours. It would be more efficient, cost effective and easier to access than the current air system. I am not saying do away with the airlines, but we could be moving around by train instead of flying or driving so much. It is not that the technology is not available, but rather we don't have the foresight to do it.

I guess what I am trying to say is, WE THE PEOPLE need to hold our leaders accountable. They work for US. We also need to wake up and realize we can change the way we do business in this country. We do not have to just keep up the same old tired ways or live by the creed we never did that before, or it will cost too much. That is a cop out. Letting the thieves run the banking system costs too much. Letting the Oil companies determine how we heat our homes and move around costs too much. Selling out our own citizen's jobs to foreign countries because the companies can make a bigger profit elsewhere costs too much. The old saying, “you pays me now or you pays me later”, applies.

The bottom line is we can do better. I hope and pray that whomever becomes president realizes this and kicks this country square in the a$$ and get us back on track. We have suffered too long with leaders that have been asleep at the wheel.

While I don't disagree that the Arabs and Persians have been killing each other for thousands of years, your point on the death rate is off the mark. We're now at a point in the war where more Americans are dying each month in Detroit from murder than are dying in Iraq from combat...look it up. Think about that...less U.S. deaths in a country of 21 million than in the 11th largest US city. I'm not saying that the deaths of the troops in Iraq is insignificant, I mourn for every one of them, but things have improved significantly.

He told me that if the media showed an interest to reporting all the good things that are happening there, as opposed to focusing on strictly the negatives, he thought the vast majority of the American public would support their efforts. He said Iraq is completely different than it was even just a year ago. Notice the media largely ignored the fact that Iraqi troops have taken over the areas that had been the worst last month (Samarra, Faluja, Ramadi and other hotspots).

They're all politicians, all making promises. How much will our government really change? I don't know honestly. Is she a savior? For MacCain's candidacy. She has livend up things for sure. I don't think he could have picked a better person to rev up his campaign. Palin's fiesty. She comes across as a go getter. I do like it. Something different.

OTH you just want to see her naked, me too.

Bug: Well said. A very common sense approach to a great many troubles. We can do a lot better with these issues. If things are more affordable, people will change. Many good points! From the lightbulbs to high speed trains to healthcare. Trying to get these initiatives in place is tough. We do need to make them priorities to our representatives. Across the board term limits could have a play in it. If you can't do it in a reasonable time...... NEXT!

See Kyler, we can agree on a lot of things! LOL!

Seriously Bug, ever think of running for office? Maybe Bughawk/Palin in 2012?

Just joking! Easy guys..............

OK, this is my final response on who Palin looks like. She looks like trouble for the Republican party and for the entire country if people take her as a serious candidate for vice president. She also looks like a big mistake for McCain and shows how desperate he is for votes, as well as his ability to make decisions that impact the entire country.

OK, so you guys want the internet pictures of Palin without the bikinis...LOL .....OTH

I was quoting Tina Fey from that skit... some of those pictures are just very poorly done, but most of them are amusing.
as far as the naked pics go, just remember that this is an all ages board, there are members that are under 18.

Believe me, when I was 14 I wanted to jump any woman who was slightly attractive and we didn't have internet, just my uncle's stolen Playboy and Hustler's. These kids are probably looking up this site after they have perused the "adult" section of the internet. Gimme a break.

While I don't disagree that the Arabs and Persians have been killing each other for thousands of years, your point on the death rate is off the mark.

I beg to differ. My point on the death rate was in comparison to other bases, in more friendly territory. There is no military base in inner-city Detroit (perhaps there should be, after reading that!). Furthermore, any violence in Detroit is by Americans, against Americans. Its not pretty, but when it comes down to it, if we needed to use the military to clean up Detroit for 100 years, I'd much rather them be stationed in Detroit than Iraq. I dont like to see American boys (and women now), placed in harm's way for non-Americans. Again, I understand what you're saying and I respect it, (and I DO wish we'd get more positive coverage from our media), but I think we're coming from two different angles on that issue.

I dont think either one of us will change anyone's mind regarding the issue, though, but I appreciate your ability to carry on a civilized debate without taking things personally and throwing around insults. That's rare these days.

Fisherchick, If I offended you, I do apologize... It was a statement in jest. I would never post pictures like that, it is a forum that many of all ages read. If a person really wants to see that stuff they're on the wrong site.
