Palin would be an ideal guest for her show. Whether or not you agree with her politics, Palin's story is remarkable. Oprah is always advocating that we should encourage girls and tell them that they can grow up to be anything. Here, we have someone who was just a PTA mom and somehow she worked her way up to being mayor, Governor, and now a VP candidate. Oprah is only interested in promoting Obama.

JOHN MCCAIN WANTS TO RAISE TAXES - NOT TAX RATE, JUST WHAT IS CONSIDERED INCOME. WELL - THAT MATTERS! That's a 25% tax increase for me. The republicans will raise taxes on workers, they just won't tell you about it. Guess employers will just have to raise wages to compensate for the increase in taxes.

In other words: no interviews! There must be a lot more to hide than we already know about. This woman is going to cost McCain whatever small chance he had to be President.

Any qualified candidate would want to be interviewed by a news reporter first, and then maybe by a talk show host. If Gov. Palin is as ready as they say to be VP, then she should welcome an opportunity to speak to any legitimate news person who wants an interview. Instead, Gov. Palin has remained out of sight with her handlers since her announcement nearly a week ago. I suspect she is not nearly as qualified as they say, and she needs to be tutored at great lengths before she faces any tough questioning. If Gov.

I am not a fan of Oprah Winfrey Show but I am a fan of who she is. She has done so much to improve the quality of life for so many minorities and for the have nots that so many politicians seem to have forgotten about. I am a bi-racial woman who can relate to both sides of the campaign including the fact that my own father was in Vietnam and a reciepient of two purple hearts. I also had an uncle who served in Vietnam who was killed on American soil by a civilian the day before he was to come back home after his serivce to our country. I wasn't voting for Hillary or Obama because she was a woman or because he is a black man but because of their beliefs feeling as though they could relate to me. I commend Oprah for standing her ground and stand up for her beliefs. Proverbs 31:10 says... Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies....26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.....30 Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised. This is to the comment that Doubt made quoting scripture. I am not a fan of Oprah Winfrey Show but I am a fan of who she is. She has done so much to improve the quality of life for so many minorities and for the have nots that so many politicians seem to have forgotten about.

I am a bi-racial woman who can relate to both sides of the campaign including the fact that my own father was in Vietnam and a reciepient of two purple hearts. I also had an uncle who served in Vietnam who was killed on American soil by a civilian the day before he was to come back home after his serivce to our country.

Funny how Obama is parading female surrogates to help with the womens' votes. I am a Hillary supporter who did not vote for Hillary because she was a woman. So don't patronize me with feeble attempts to put women on display as if it will palltiate the actions of the DNC to select an inferior candidate. The more Hillary supports an incompetent candidate, the less respect I have for her. This Reagan Democrat isn't buying it. My vote is important to me and I can't vote for this empty suit.

I am a retired war Vet of Dessert Storm. Myself and other veterans cannot go around talking about our service. We have to compete for jobs like everyone else. I have video tapes of "Song Bird McCain who fellow POW mates tell a different story of how he told the Viet Cong everything. Can his stories be verified by Viet Cong Guards? If McCain wants to keep using the Vietnam era for his campaign, I know of another behavior that went on during that time. I cane in the military in 1978 just after the war and any of the Vietnam vets bragged about how the young teenage (12, 13 etc) were fun to have.
