    I also think she showed America just how little she knows about politics and the rest of the world. I give her ten points for the guts to get up in front of the world and try to do a good job.

    Ya’ll are kidding right:)? Nowhere in these comments have I seen one thing or person who actually thinks Barrack Hussein Obama has the skills to be President. Isn’t that the point? McCain has honor, has served. his mother is 96 for goodness sake and in good health. Now granted – babysitting a nation of microwave minute minded media dumbed down and uglied up babies will age anyone. But Obama has SERVED under 200 days served. not led. He HAS NO EXPERIENCE. People slide right by that. Let him go serve in our military for 4 years and then I’ll vote for him.

    Tell that to George W. Bush. He has pushed more initiatives and policies through without any form of legeslative or judicial consent than any president in history.

    He has made executive authority far more powerful than it was ever supposed to be, and completely cast aside checks and balances.

    The president can do A LOT of things without congress. like WAGE WAR ON A SOVEREIGN NATION for example.

    Does it really matter who is president? The president can only do what the house and the senate vote in favor of.

    A few good things?

    She would: outlaw abortions even in the case of rape or incest, put insane christian creationism in public schools, have us drill oil everywhere we can and stunt any alternative energy progress, and of course tax our company health care to give us a credit for…you got it, company health care.

    Palin is Dan Quayle in a skirt. She’s good for nothing but spewing out the same, memorized lines she’s been forcefed by McCain.

    I don’t think Palin’s counting on McCain to kick the bucket. If she’s VP, she’ll do a few good things for us for a couple of years while garnering the full force of the republican party, then beat out McCain for reelection. If he’s even capable of running at that point.

    The media wants Obama to win. It’s completely obvious if you watch any bit of the news. They are always interviewing Democrats who say nothing bad about Obama obviousely. But you have to hand it to Bill Clinton and his interview on "The View." He all but said he didn’t support Obama. He said that he wan’t going to say anything bad about someone in his own party. Also, Obama is paying off Hillary’s campaign debt, so Obama is basically "paying him off."

    Oh yeah, the debate wasn’t too hot on either end.

    Zipperhead, I really think you zipped up your "little head" because you’re a frieken idiot.

    What is wrong with bringing Church and State together?? What are you aetheist?! I can tell you’re a Obama supporter due to your comments on Churh and State. So you’re probably not Christian, you must be Muslum. (Like Osama OOOPS! I mean Obama.)

    It is not who debated the best or the worst. It is who can run the country if something were to happen. Who can handle international diplomacy and such. Think of the big picture not just some square jawed hockey mom saying Maverick over and over.

    It is easy for Biden to look like he knows a lot because he can just talk for hours saying things that are not true and the media will cover for him! I bet all the Israelis were surprised to hear that Biden thinks Hezbollah has been driven out of Lebanon by the French! Wow. Biden’s a laugh a minute for anybody who follows events closely (unlike many Americans, who just get taken in by a professional debater, oops, I mean Senator).

    OK, I watched the debate and could hardly stay awake. Biden did a good job of answering the questions and putting his and Obama’s point across. Palin on the other hand called herself a Maverick twice in one sentence. But besides that I think she showed America just how little she knows about politics and the rest of the world. I give her ten points for the guts to get up in front of the world and try to do a good job. I also commend her as a women for climbing her way up through a male dominated field.

    But, the reality is, she does not know enough to run this country if god forbid something happened to McCain. I also believe she does not hold enough international experience to deal with the hate mongers out there.

    I can see Russia from my house. What an idiot.

    Also in the news:

    I hear if you put a McCain/Palin sign in your yard you lose ten IQ points.

    So I hear Palin has a one in four chance of becoming president if McCain is elected. I hope you all are ready for the bringing together of Church and State and the downfall of society.

    Did you know her son had a choice of either going to IRAQ or going to Jail?
