Mrs. Palin with her winks and quirky gol darn sayings couldn't have won a beauty pagent with that performance and some are giving her credit.

I don't want some down home, goofy, gol darn gal in the white house.

She did a nice job memorizing some lines and managed to avoid answering many specific questions because she simply doesn't know enough to anser them.

I was an Obama supporter before but know I am actually frightened of the other ticket.

Gosh darn good oh God help us if Palin makes it from Alaska to D.C. wink wink

I think toellthetruth is doing anything but. Neither my self or any of my neighbors have been approached by anyone doing this. Instead of taking pictures, call the police. Our attorney general has gone on the record of trying to keep people from voting. How many us run to the dmv everytime they move?? Not many. How about those republicans telling people they will not be allowed to vote, if they show up wearing Obama clothing, pins etc.. that has made the t.v. news. There has been nothing about what you are talking about. Maybe you can address this issue with President Obama after the election .

Curtain call quoted "It is a republican who is trying to prevent people from voting who may not have changed their address on their license , not a democrat." I am sorry, but you are wrong. The democratic party of rock county is currently out telling voters they cannot vote if they have confirmed their republican vote.. I will be taking pictures and we will be asking the gazette to post them along with the audio clips of them telling voters they cannot vote in the election if they come back to me or my family or friends.

I don't agree with our minister sometimes. There are things about our church I do not like. But I go to church.I am not held accountable for what my minister says or believes, no one is , not Barack Obama either. If Palin had winked one more time, I would have needed a bucket to heave in. Being cute or pretty seldom gets POLITICIANS anywhere. They have to show they can speak with some intelligence.She did do better than I expected, but she was coached for 3 days before that. But she danced around the questions and did not have clear answers. I have always planned on voting for Obama, and after watching both debates I know I am making the correct choice.

totellthetruth, what truth are you talking about? Lets look at mccain, how he sent out those phony ballots, that were misleading. I have had no one coming to my door. It is a republican who is trying to prevent people from voting who may not have changed their address on their license , not a democrat. Last night Biden won that debate hands down, and even people who had supported palin are saying how she was scripted, refused to answer questions, had the wrong name of the commander, did not know mccains voting record, thought winking was some how cute, and the thing to do. I would expect a teeny bopper to get up there and wink at the camersa, ' like am I not just to cute.'
She could not explain how mccains policys were going to be different than bushs. She failed to mention how mccain did not vote for troop funding , just wanted to talk how Obama did not either. But we can all be relieved to know she can see Russia from Alaska.. This woman is a trip. Oh well another month and we won't have to hear her name again. As it will be Obama and Biden in the white house, and she can go back to being a 'hockey mom' and to her joe six pack.

Spanky I love you, you are a hoot!

curtaincall what debate did you watch.. I am totally disgusted with all the Democrats in this election. I just heared about the latest tatics THAT ARE HAPPENING IN JANESVILLE PEOPLE. The election house to housers are writing down who is voting for McCain, and then sending someone back to ask for the other person who lives at the house. If a person answers who has previously told the street walkers that they will vote for McCain, they are being told that they are not registered to vote and they are inelible to vote until they re-establish residency in Janesville. I hope that someone gets a name or a picture and turns these loosers in. I am conerned that this election has turned totally illegit at the local level too...

Palin can not think on her feet. Any time that she has been asked a question by reporters either on the street, or even in sit down interviews she has flopped. She had 3 days of nothing but preparing for this debate, and she still could not answer questions, in fact some she refused to answer or talked around them.. I don't know how she managed to become Gov. of Alaska. Winking and throwing in 'gosh darns' is not funny or cute its sickening.

Is this the "friend" and "known terrorist" to which you refer? http://www.suntimes.com/news/elections/d...
I suppose you can make anything mean anything if it's important enough to you.

How are you suppose to go after terrorists when your friends with a known terrorist?

spark says..."My point is, you're picking out things about their personal lives. Does anyone remember Clinton? Go's both ways doesn't it."
.
Yes it does.
.
That was yesterday.
.
This is the future.

Lets' hope we are not slow learners.

who's yer favorite lil rascal?? is it buckwheat...or is it spanky...:) yo spank you should drop the church thing since mrs palins minister is also a witch doctor...

Well Spanky, I, for example, belong to a church where a former member/employee stole money, where a former pastor was later accused of committing a sex crime, and I once knew someone who, years after I last saw him, killed someone. I in no way take ownership of their acts, nor do I expect to be judged by the fact that I have actually met and even had unrelated dealings with these people. Unrelated is the key word here. Many people are capable of many things. Is there one person in Obama's life who did something exemplary? Why, then, do you not judge Obama's ability to lead the nation on the character of that one person instead? Or more fairly-on himself? (same with all candidates).
lakenedy is correct in her assesment of both candidates-they all have flaws, because they both (actually, all 4) are human and this is real life.
May the best human win-and we can't actually be 100% certain of who that will for sure yet, can we?

I dont' know, Sparky. I think one thing we can all agree on is that there appears to be plenty of flaws in both candidates. As far as your comment regarding Nancy Pelosi...I completely agree. I'm hoping she won't be around too much longer.

Does anyone want a Joe-six-pack as VP? How many times have you been in a bar, looked over and thought, "you know, I bet that dude could be President".

Does character count when one of the candidates has had business dealings with a convicted felon and a know domestic terrorist? Or how about attending church for 20 years where the pastor preaches American hate speech does that count?

Ya know what's REAL scary. That Nancy Pelosi is only 2 heart beats away from being President.

spark-Bill Clinton isn't running for president. It SHOULD matter what their character is, because, character-as well as the job of president of the United States, is operational 24 hours a day! Do you remember those ads stating "It's 3 o'clock in the morning, your children are asleep..."?
The fact that the twin trade towers were destroyed during business hours was not planned for the convenience of the president of the US.

Here's my opinion : That's right and that give her foreign policy experience also......:)

Ross Perot 08!!

Well at least she can see Russia from her house....

This bailout bill is a joke. It has a business tax credit that would give the business a tax credit of $300 if they have the employees ride their bikes to work. And there is just a load of pork in this bill as well. It will be over a trillion dollars by the time they are done. I'm disappointed in the President and the Presidential candidates and all the people who feel this is a do or die bill and must be pasted today (we are going on two weeks since this turned into a crisis). We vote these people into office call and e-mail them and tell them to not vote for this bill.

I say convert to cash....Pay off credit card Bills..Interest rates are going to go higher..FDIC raising insurance to 250 thousand...Question this ..Do they have the money left to really insure your money? Where are they getting the money from? Inflation of prices are going to raise. Food, gas, utilities will rise no matter what Bill is past. Job loss will be significant no matter what bill is past. Protect yourself you are on your own.

My point is, you're picking out things about their personal lives. Does anyone remember Clinton? Go's both ways doesn't it.

Their are still a group of rebels that will not vote for this Bill in the Congress. These are the only members worth voting for this Nov. They are leaking the Corruption behind this fiasco. Do you know the Board over sight people are being choosen by none other then Bush.

Do you know the Bill that the Senate approved last noc included over 1 hundred Billion in earmarks? So now the Bail Out has gone up in price to over 8 hundred billion. McCain voted for 1 hundred Billion in earmarks to satisfy the Republicans so they would vote for this last noc.

Last evening on National TV Orrin Hatch a Republican Senator said that Palin was like the average American six pack Joe. I was to say the least outraged. I emailed the Leaders of their Parties to inform the Senator that we are not paying Orrin Hatch to insult the American people while asking to accept a 700 billion dollar bail out of foreign Banks because they invested in the Markets greed with toxic paper. We will be bailing out the investors of Saudi Arabia and Japan, France, Germany and even Russia.

i dont understand why conquistadora is 'pathetic' to make those comments. right side or left side doesnt matter, i think its a pretty logical post.

Do you consider yourself a six pack Joe? To my mind that conjures up the image of a knowledge less drinker, who may be to drunk to get involved with Politics. I am not a six pack Joe and find that comparison outrageously degrading, to women and hard working Americans. Some of us don't even drink.

And just why shouldn't we at least consider "these issues" when we vote? Do you deny them, and deny they have any relevance at all? It makes me think of a line I seem to recall about a dream to "one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." I guess that dream still isn't important.

Hypothetical....McCain has a stroke can not full fill the functions of President. Palin (six pack Joe) is how she identifies herself now, governs the USA. I think that needs pondering.

Another hopeless lefty.

You are pathetic to even make these comments and use these issues as a reason to vote. Must be nice to live such a perfect life like yourself. Give me a break. Once again, the democrats are so perfect and will fix all the Worlds problems. I wouldn't bet on it.

John McCain racked up more than 300 demerits at the Naval Academy and graduated 5th from the bottom of his 899 member class. Widely known for serial adulteries, McCain married Cindy Hensley one month after he divorced his first family. Cindy’s father, Jim Hensley, a wealthy beer distributor, was convicted of falsifying records to illegally distribute liquor.
Cindy confessed to drug addiction and to stealing drugs.

Sarah Palin paraded her 17 year old, pregnant, unmarried daughter, Bristol, on the stage at the RNC. (In fact, Sarah Palin’s first child, Track, was born when she had been married about seven months). There are abuse of office charges against Palin. She and McCain have lied in their speeches and McCain has flip flopped on many issues. All of this while she professed to be a Christian.

This pair and their families in the White House would provide much fodder for the tabloids . Such terrible examples for our young people.

So why do so many conservative preachers and church goers support these two? This President and this Congress have not conserved our tax money, our international reputation nor the environment. Is it the Faith Based Initiative that gives so much money to churches? On the issues of gay marriage and abortion: The vast majority of Americans oppose gay marriage and there was never a danger that it would be widespread. Both parties would do well to oppose abortion except in the very earliest stages of pregnancy, when there is a speck, not a baby. Bush used these emotional, non-issues to get himself reelected.
