If I wanted to see a further demise of the USA, I'd gladly vote for McPalin, but personally, I am looking forward to a long life here and I'd like my children to have a national history that they can be proud of. All GOP clowns should take this opportunity to exit stage left...

I agree with Cambpell Brown, it is a sexist they way the McCain camp treats her.

Can't she state her own feelings on issues instead of just saying "what ever John McCain says".

Are ready for war with Iran? If you do, McCain/Palin is your ticket.

She answers questions just like the beauty pageant contestent she is, smiling to the camera and that dumb waving of the hand.

Palin is an empty suit with a pageant crown...and repugs are regreting thier choice.

Anyone who is impressed with Palin needs to do some more thinking. Read this sentence out loud.

"I think our presence in Iraq and Afghanistan will lead to further security of our nation, again, because the mission is to take the fight over there. do not let them come over here and attempt again what they accomplished here, and that was some destruction terrible destruction on that day. but since September 11, Americans uniting and rebuilding and committing to never letting that happen again."

She has been thinking about this for weeks now and consulting with the best minds McCain could find, and this is the best she can offer.

How long, O America, will you fall for this crap?

I listen, I try to be positive, I watch, I try to give her the benefit of any doubt that I might have. I am sorry to say this woman is not ready to be VP of the United States & anyone that thinks she is has no idea of what they are talking about...I do not care if she is the Gov. of Alaska & a previous Mayor, & how much executive experience she says she has that does not make her qualified to be VP....and anyone that can see or hear should know better, this woman maybe smart & be a good Gov. but she is not suited or qualified for the VP slot...

community of new york – lol.

do you realize sarah that we are spread so thin because we 'took the battle over there' instead of here, that we more than likely cannot defend ourselves in our own soil if anything God forbid happens?

by the way, iraq had nothing to do with what happened on 911.
it is bush's war, his way alone. unfortunately, we pay for it by the billions a day.

Palin like Bush and McCain still didn't get the message on taking the fight to "them". Iraq isn't the "them" who attacked us as Palin opens her mouth unintelligently and proves she is no quick study on foreign policies and these weren't tough questions. McCain and Palin both are poorly educated and unqualified to run our country, we've got enough problems without them.

Seems to me like we're in hell right now and you can thank YOUR president and his corrupt cronies for that.

I have always cringed, and been afraid to travel overseas, since the first time I heard the Republicans use the term "fight them over there and not here." I'm sure our friends in Spain, France, the UK, and elsewhere, to whom the fight has been taken by the terrorists, scarcely appreciate our cowardly and selfish perspective. Maybe it goes along with all the other reasons the world is crazy angry with us.

I have only a 2 year college degree that by the way took 1 college and 2 years to get raising 3 kids and working a full time job and I can answer questions asked without this kind of problem.

The excitement I've shared with my son and neice, of this historic campaign has turned to shame. There are easily 4 women more qualified than this woman in each party. Shame on you John McCain! "Suspend your canidacy", "Economy is fundamentally strong", V.P. pick, " I walked the streets of Iraq withouth troop support", Fought to deregulate wall street, Supported Iraq war, Keating 5, Furiously faught an MLK holiday, Numerous angry outburst!

if we as a nation, put this woman a heart beat away from the presidency, then only God can save us all, for we will beome the laughing stoke for the rest of the world. watching her speak and reading her transcripts explains why the McCain campaign is creating all this drama so they can postpone the debate. Even my five year old daughter is more coherent with the English language than this woman. she is even worse the Bush.

You know what- I have been to Ground Zero, being a New Yorker I remember it before it was "Ground Zero", I almost lost my brother on 9/11, and we all watched as we lost thousands of innocent men, women and service members.
I have also watched as people have basterdized the memory of 9/11 and its victims as a Political ploy- the video showed at the RNC turned my stomach. We SHOULD remember those victims, and we SHOULD remember the lessons learned in that day... but we shouldn't use it as a ploy for Politics- that is just disgraceful. 9/11 has been used as the excuse for the war in Iraq, has been used to incite fear in the American people...I am glad she went to see Ground Zero but as usual with Republicans she has completely missed the point.
How about -why has no monument been erected yet- oh b/c of corporate BS...how about why are their fire fighters and police men who are not receiving proper care and are suffering with ailments caused my the recovery efforts durring 9/11.
I am so SICK of Republicans using 9/11 as "their cause"- Please just stop!!! You want to go to war, you want more people to die that is your own cause, but do not piggy back it on the tragedy of 9/11... those families have suffered enough!!!

NEWSFLASH to Sarah Palin- Our presence in Iraq has only further threatened the US as well as neighboring countries and caused further expansion of Terrorist regimes... so wrong answer!!!

Continuation of the Bush doctrine. Take the fight to them, wherever that may be, and take the fight to anyone we think may be thinking about whatever it is we think they should not be thinking about.

I suppose this means then that we are getting ready to invade Iran, N Korea, Spain, Russia, and who knows where else.

We are going to have to implement a draft if we are to the the world's policemen and their holy crusaders.

I would have to say to all instead of bailing out Wall Street try bailing out the American people. From my calculations 700 Billion Dollars could relieve 140,000,000 American families of their debts by $5,000.00 per household. Try that figure instead.

But, now they are TERRORISTS because of failed policies of our administration. An unjust war is no war at all.

She can't handle even the simplest of questions without a "Miss America" type answer. Come on folks, we need an intelligent person that knows our political system and is up on current affairs. She doesn't have a clue. And it's not her fault. The Republican Party is responsible for choosing her with her lack of wit and a trail of dirt a mile long.
