As to Palin\'s experience, well, DC\'s got craploads of experience and it\'s directly responsible for the Fannie Mae/ Freddie Mac Economic Meltdown.

Hear hear!

I\'ve had quite enough of the \"experienced\" jackanapes who learn how to provide pork and need the lobbyists to provide the next campaign treasure chest. Term limits are the answer but very few want to see them for \"their\" politicians.

I\'ve actually been pondering trying to run for some office, just to see if someone can run an honest campaign with honest answers and actually win.

Doubt it.

Nice slam on the whole boob thing Darklord. Way to keep the whole sexism thing out of this and focus on the facts. When I used the terms earlier I was making light of what the liberal press have said about the competent woman. Way to focus on her hooters, heck she could be Obama\'s Secretary of the Interior right, after all I am sure she knows how to run a vacuum and use the washer. Next time you have a thought, let it go...

so you making light of her being a woman because the press did it is different to me saying it? If you think i am one of these that thinks men should fix cars and come home to the wife cooking my tea well i aint. I\'m the one who stays at home and looks after the kids and does the house work and i\'m proud of it. It makes no difference to me wether she\'s a woman or not, its what she or however else gets in will do that matters to people, as the saying goes america sneezes and we catch a cold.
And if i have a thought i am allowed my opinion am i not?

I suppose I should stop holding my breath for the media to heap scorn and ridicule upon Biden for choking up and nearly crying, they way they did to Hillary.

*sigh* The double standards are alive and well, I fear.

Well I\'m no fan of Joe Biden, But I have to admit my heart feels for the guy every time he tells the story of the loss of his wife and child and the injury to his sons in that accident. It will effect him I\'m sure till the day he dies. So I give him a pass on that.

Hillary on the other hand I felt used tears on more than one occasion to gain sympathy and potential votes. She learned the skill well from Bill. But then again I\'m not a fan of the Clinton\'s either so my opinion may be biased.

I can understand why the left hate her though.
She made it where she is on her own, disproving that Republicans are sexists. She\'s tough on corruption. She understands her job is to follow the will of the people rather than deciding what the good of the people is, and with one veto, by following the constitution, by holding to her oath of office, even though it conflicted with her personal beliefs, did more for gay rights than the Clinton administration or the liberal congressmen have done in decades.
That\'s gotta be embarrassing.
Even more so when the opposing ticket has the same personal beliefs but has absolutely no record of sticking to the constitution.
But the again, if you actually research and look through history, Republicans have normally been on the forefront of civil rights.
Don\'t believe me? Look it up. Make sure you read the history of Al Gore Sr. or Senator Byrd.
I\'m far more a Constitutionalist Libertarian than anything and I have to give thumbs up to the R\'s for that.

No, honey, you\'ve lost. We all have. We\'ve lost control over the government that was to be of the people, by the people, for the people and is now of the lobbyists, by the lobbyists, for the lobbyists, no matter which of the two major parties you vote for.
We\'ve been distracted by the media and the \"Blame Bush crowd\" while the real villains are stealing your mortgages.

Who won?
It doesn\'t really matter as being politicians they\'ll change their minds and take the public to the cleaners as soon as they get into office.

I think that the interviewer won. She seemed to be more passionate about the debate than the VP candidates
