She should have a nice turnout here in Naples.

This was article worthy???

She will be well recieved...but will she be trained enough by the time she comes to answer any tough questions and actually tell the truth doing it?

As usual for these politicians she most likely will not mingle with the public here. She will do like all the rest, fly into town and go to some overpriced fundraiser, grab a bag on money and high tale it back out of town within a few hours.

It would be nice to see some of these politicians actually mingle and meet the public here once and awhile. Hopefully she will. It would be nice for a change.

ScotchBonnet, I don't think anyone has had Hillary for a long long long time.

Ask this question:

DOES SARAH PALIN HAVE THE EXPERIENCE TO BECOME A PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES?

bicoastal-if you ask that question , you must ask does Obama have the experience to be president? Fair is Fair

She has MORE experience than Obama!

So the answer to your question is YES she does!!

#12, I'll answer it by asking if Obama has the experience to be President. Palin is not running for President, at least not yet.

Obama with a 143 days of experience before deciding to run for president and a drug user in his youth, (his words from his book), and a professional clipboard carrier for three years. Bicoastal want's to know if Palin has enough experience. I'll take Palin thanks.

I'm organizing a protest like the one in Alaska - complete with signs like

McPain & Sara Failing
Hockey mom, keep the puck out of Washington
The Alaska disasta
Bush in a Skirt

These were some of the signs by protesters against Gov. Failin in Alaska

Bicoastal - not sure she has the intelligence. She has lots of experience so no worries there. Experience in lying, experience in creating her own 'ol boy' network based upon who she liked in school, experience in college transfers, and plenty of experience in the economy because I'm sure she knows the price of, err, lipstick?

Will she be playing victim when she comes? Or will she play the victim role for Putin, Chavez, or the Iranians? Because I don't think playing the gender card will work there.

Want to hear a joke? ........ Sarah Palin

scotchbonnet - Bush was the Governor of Texas. We don't need another Bush.

Liestopper - Cindy McCain is Paris Hilton fifty years ago.

I knew it! She'll fit right in here.

How smart is it to vote for someone who is praying for the apocalypse?

President Palin.. should we bomb Russia .. "I can see Russia from my house".

Article worthy? Yes.

Vice Presidential candidate comming to town. Yes it's news.

You can put lipstick on a pig. BUT ITS STILL A PIG.

#9 you really think cindy is a hottie? she looks like fireballs are going to shoot out of her eyes any moment... she scares the heck out of me! i think michelle obama is much prettier... (palin's cute too, obviously. too bad she's such a psycho)

and ecoterror i am with you 100%

What a waste of a trip, we already know most of the Demographic of Naples is already voting with the Republican ticket.

She should spend her time trying to get votes where she and her party are not as popular.

Trehugger, let's go protest outside where-ever it is she goes! It will be fun! We can drink some beer and chant anti bush and McCain slogans!

what put me over the top for my decision to vote for obama was when i heard mccain is so completely computer illiterate that he cannot send an e-mail. who cares if he depends on other people to help him? what if something needs to be confidential, what, they'll have to send him a freaking telegram? i mean are you people serious?!? are you really going to vote for someone that is that completely out of touch with reality? are you freaking kidding me?!!? god what's wrong with you people, seriously.

Sarah Palin???
Ask me if I care?

Who is Sarah Palin anyway?
A pon?
A disgrace to women everywhere?
What's so special about her?
Men have picked unqualified woman to be their flunkies for years. All she would need to do is always agree with him and distract the opposition while he robbs them blind.

What a great day for women...not!

She doesn't stand for women or feminism. Since when has feminism been about a bimbo being used by a powerful man to get what he wants?
Palin threw her name in a hat and never in her wildest dreams did she expect to get picked. Nevertheless, here we are.
How pathetic.

Gator4life, the only reason she is coming here solo is that the demographic is considered republican friendly. The republicans do not trust her in a place where she may actually encounter somthing other than a fancy meet and greet with secret service keeping everyone out for a two mile radius.

point is - you think she'd make a good President because she' spent 18 months as a Governor. Personally, I want a team with brains, and a President that is MORE intelligent than me, I do not want to see my nextdoor neighbor run my life, and I will not vote for somebody I drink beer with. It's not likely that I'll ever meet any President to see if I can 'relate' to them - so my best option is to vote for the person that CAN HANDLE the job. McCain is incompetent, not all there, and has his head in the clouds, Palin is, well, somebody I might employ as maybe an office manager - but then probably have to fire because of high employee turnover rates. Biden knows what he's doing and is very competent and intelligent, and he is very down-to-earth. Obama is the man - he can use his intelligence, unlike Bush and Cheney. Look at Bush & Cheney, aka dumb and dumber, and McCain & Palin, along with the rest of the same old GOP, come on, get real. Like anything will change except for the dress code. It's laughable, and I can't believe anybody is falling for this! Look at the international polls - they are all wondering why American's were stupid enough to elect Bush twice - elect the GOP again via McCain and all credibility is gone!

scotchbonnet - Obama DID NOT INCLUDE HIS RACE ON HIS HARVARD APPLICATION. Don't you think a minority has the BRAINS to go to Harvard? Are you saying black people aren't smart enough? Where did YOU go? He got there on his OWN merits... and guess what... Daddy din't buy Obama's way in.

Pig with lipstick...

The difference is... Palin is a 72yo heart-stop away from the presidency.

#47 = and her qualifications is.....????

Being a beauty pageant contestant?

Imelda Marcos was one of those too.

Sarah is coming to SWFl so she can learn from us everything that we know about Cuba since are state is right next to Cuba.

Liestarter if she got her degree than whats the point. She wasn't given the silver spoon treatment like Obama did for being half black. Imagine riding that minority roller coaster when you want to reach your goals.

To all you McCain/Palin haters...

Take a look at an artical written today by Lee Cary at American Thinker. The title of the story is: Obama's Friends and Chicago's New Slums. (I know you won't, but at least I can hope)

Then come back and tell me what a 'ray of sunshine' your boy is. He really knows who to hang with! What has he ever done to help out the Southside of Chicago? Which by the way, is where he started his career, to clean up the Southside. Even now, while he has the power of being a Senator what has he done? Can we say "ZERO". Yeah, he's the one who we want as leader of Amercia. One who makes promises and never delivers! But dang, he sure knows who has the money to get him where he needs to go! Democats sure picked a winner with this one!

caliban i'll hold the war on drugs sign!!

I agree with you fairisfailure.

Scotch is insinuating that Obama wasn't smart enough to get into Harvard, and he was there only because he was Black. As if they would accept anyone just to make a color quota.

Furthermore, last I checked - graduating last in law school is still quite the accomplishment. At least he made it to and through.

Roscoe-

link please?

Obama is going to do the same thing with the United States as he did with the south side of Chicago, nothing. With his lack of experience he'll be just like Carter.

Tax and Take Obama. Punish the working class.

I know some folks from Alaska who have met her a few times. They thought she was genuine and quite bright.
I must admit since my friends who used to live in Alaska are respected, thoughtful and level headed people and they couldn't say enough good things about her, that I am more open about her as a VEEP.

The real question is: “WOULD A WHITE MALE WITH NO EXECUTIVE EXPERIENCE AND ONLY 36 MONTHS EXPERIENCE IN THE SENATE BE QUALIFIED FOR THE PRESIDENCY?”
Scotchbonnet asked.
Well you elected G W Bush What a tool he is...
Somebody has either been heavy into the scotch, or rapped on the head with the shillelagh to ask such a dumb question.
Why would you want someone who owes favors to his friends, and knows his way around all the loop holes?
Sarah Palin wouldn't have ever came to Naples without being told to by the Bush Bunch...What else are they counseling these two running mates on?

Sarah Palin.. not to bright but nice leggs. We can tell what's on McCain's mind. LOL

Sarah Palin...

For now she's a celebrity. Get to know her though.

She's a former beauty queen contestant and John McCain, who is known to have committed adultery on his first wife, likes her. He’s met her all of two times before selecting her to run as his vice president.

With this selection McCain certainly stole the spotlight from Barack Obama's great speech on Wednesday night, but in the worst way possible, with an extremely bad decision.

Sarah Palin, a far rightwing Republican, has only served 1/2 a term as Governor of Alaska, a state with such a small population (670,053 - 2006 Census Bureau) that it only has three delegates.

Obama has never been Governor.
Biden has never been Governor.
McCain has never been Governor.

The Republican pundits say as an elected Governor she's more qualified and has more experienced than Obama and Biden, so that makes her more experienced and qualified than McCain too.

According this logic, Sarah Palin is the most qualified and experienced person on either ticket.

This would be hilarious, if not so serious.

McCain is telling the American People that, God forbid, in the event something should happen to him while he's president (if elected), Palin is the best person in America to be President of the United States of America. Shame on John McCain for being willing to leave America in the hands of a novice politician.

Sarah Palin is another status quo candidate. She supports everything Bush/McCain stands for, and worse.

Palin supports making abortion illegal in all circumstances, including that of a rape victim in her first trimester. She favors removing polar bears from the endangered species list so drilling for oil in Alaska's ANWR can become an option, which barring another flip flop, John McCain opposes. Her views on global warming are to the right of George Bush. She's anti-gun laws. She's against gay rights. She supports our schools teaching creationism. It's been reported that she also favored Pat Buchanan for President in 2000.

Sarah Palin's husband worked as a production operator on the North Slope for BP. This could also be another sign of McCain being in the pocket of big oil companies.

Sarah Palin says she hasn't focused much about the war in Iraq. However, like Joe Biden, her son is heading over there soon.

McCain certainly just lost any true moderate Independents that may have considered voting for him, one would think.

To be continued.....

McCain's first major decision on the road to the Whitehouse has been a huge mistake! This is a remarkable sign as to what kind of decisions John McCain makes. This mostly unknown vice presidential selection doesn't even come without controversy and scandal.

Many Republican pundits are saying they expect Palin to win the debates over Joe Biden due to "low expectations." That sounds eerily similar like the same way George Bush won them. Republicans are now trying to win debates with “low expectations.” This is ridiculous and irresponsible!

Some Republican women called in to the political talk shows and shown concern that she's willing to go down the road of a vigorous campaign trail and filling the job of vice president with a three month old down-syndrome baby at home.

Also, Sarah Palin is currently under investigation over the controversial firing of a public safety commissioner.

"State lawmakers approved an investigation late last month into whether the governor retaliated against former commissioner Walt Monegan for not firing a state trooper entangled in a divorce and ongoing custody battle with Palin’s sister. The investigation will also examine whether Palin or any of her family members pressured Monegan to fire state trooper Mike Wooten because of the messy divorce." LINK

The women John McCain overlooked that had much higher credentials and paid their dues for the Republican Party:

Kate Hutchison: US Senator from Texas, 1993 - Present - Texas House of Representatives - Texas State Treasurer

Condoleezza Rice: Secretary of State 2005 - Present, National Security Advisor 2001 - 2005

Elizabeth Dole: US Senator from North Carolina, 2003 - Present - U.S. Secretary of Labor - U.S. Secretary of Transportation - President of The American Red Cross

Susan Collins: US Senator from Maine, 1997- Present, other experience; Maine's Deputy Treasurer

Olympia Snowe: US Senator from Maine, 1995 - Present, other experience; Maine House of Representatives, Maine State Senate, United States House of Representatives

Putting a woman on the ticket could have been real good had it been for more reason that to just have a woman on the ticket. It's going to be a tough sell convincing the American People that Sarah Palin is prepared to be President of the United States should something happen to McCain. I can't believe anybody that claims Obama lacks experience would claim Palin doesn't.

This McCain blunder is great for the Obama campaign.

Are you saying that Mr. Obama is an affirmative action candidate? If so, you should be on sesame street! The man is more intelligent than John McCain and I dare not even attempt to compare him to Palin. Find something else to slander him about but keep race and intellect out of it feminine hygeine product bag!

Unfortunately my lunch break is over and working class citizens such as myself have to go back to work.

How do you vote Mr. Obama, yes or no. Uh, um, uh...present!

I like her. It's about time we have a woman besides Hillary in the white house.
Sarah Palin does a great job Governing Alaska while at the same time raises 5 kids and loves to hunt.

He's just handicapped. Period.

Does Sarah have the wisdom to have the nuclear code?

Scotchbonnet...

"I have one simple question for the Obama groupies:
WOULD A WHITE MALE WITH NO EXECUTIVE EXPERIENCE AND ONLY 36 MONTHS EXPERIENCE IN THE SENATE BE QUALIFIED FOR THE PRESIDENCY?"

Obama had 8 years in the State Senate befor his term in the US Senate, and I have no doubt that Palin's jornalism degree is equal to the being the head of the Harvard Law Review. I have no doubt that Brent Batten of the Naples Daily News is equally as qualified as Palin.

Anyway, Your answers show that you are placing your vote based on racism. I'm sorry but that makes you a social outcast in my book. If he were in fact white, he wuld be polling at 90%.

I dont think Imelda Marcos's protege is anything more than McCain's 'sex sells' desperate attempt at getting votes. After all, he is a dirty old perv.

His biggest accomplishment is a failed amnesty bill. Funny, every time he "takes on his party" he loses the battle and has to back down LOL.

Roscoe - 170 times out of a total of OVER 4,000.

JYD - we've had things YOUR way for almost 8 years now. It's our turn now baby!!

Oh, come on folks! Bush haters will never change and fire-breathing right wingers will not either. Let's look at some facts, not invented truths. Re: Bush is dumb. Well, the NYT reported that course for course his grades were higher than Kerry's at Yale, but of course the latter is a much better speaker, like Obama. Re: Obama is for change. I believe he is sincere and wants to see America do better for the lower classes by spending more money on programs help them. Whether this will have a positive or negative impact on helping us recover from our downturn is my concern. Also, Obama's record of accomplishments except for being one of many sponsoring bills is skimpy. Re: McCain is also for change. I believe his record of reaching across the aisle on election reform, helping clear the backlog of Judges awaiting appoint, etc. shows me a little something. I do believe that like Obama he is sincere. Re: Biden does he have the experience and character to be a heart beat away from President. Here I give him a big plus in experience for dozens upon dozens of years as a public servant as that has been his life. I do question his character a bit as he freely gave a speech on his life that was word-for-word a speech given by the PM of England without attribution. I also know from a reliabe personal source that he failed to pay bills for work he said he was satisfied with apparently using his politician status as a shield from creditors. I know Truman went bankrupt in the clothing business, but Biden is weathy. Re: Is Palin suitable material to be VP a heart beat away from President. Her obvious charm aside, I believe she compares favorably to must VPs and VP candidates from an experience point of view and even when compared to Obama when it comes to leadership experience. I do not really find fault in her schooling as many college kids of her era took longer to graduate. I believe the bottom line is that the election will be a close call, not unlike the first Kennedy election where a young, well spoken politician had the hard core left and easily captured the imagination of younger voters. I was one of those back then, but I recall that if Cook Cty, Illnois did not narrowly deliver for JFK, he would have lost. My view is that weighing all the pluses and minuses between VP candidates it is a toss up. And, between Obama and McCain, I lean towards the guy with a record, McCain. Just on the basis of what I believe he will do on earmarks and reaching across the aisle in the spirit of what is good for the country. If Obama is elected, I have no fear as he, like Clinton, will govern from the middle as once he is there he no longer needs the left-wing part of this party as he did to defeat Hillary. I only wish he had pick her as his VP.

Sarah Palin, like Goerge Bush, can't even say nuclear. She says nucular.

Are the Republicans honestly saying that if John McCain wins the election, Sarah Palin is the next best person in America to be president?

If so, that really isn't saying much for their Party. WOW!

What a frickin' JOKE!

CTL....

Welcome back! :]

#5, Better yet, she can stay in my bed. She is about to be a GILF.

the dem party has blown a 10 point lead and in reality they should be up 30 points. When its all over and McCain is president Obama has only himself to blame.
He should have sucked it up and put Hilary on the ticket but nooooo he figured it was a lock with the polls the way they were and he figured McCain would pick Rommey or lieberman.
Oh slick willy has to smiling like a dog.

Mayor Sarah Palin billed RAPE VICTIMS for rape test kits!

This is stunningly AMAZING!
___________________________________
QUOTE:

WASILLA, Alaska — In 2000, Alaska lawmakers learned that rural police agencies had been billing rape victims or their insurance companies $500 to $1,200 for the costs of the forensic medical examinations used to gather evidence. They quickly passed a law prohibiting the practice.
According to the sponsor, Democrat Eric Croft, the law was aimed in part at Wasilla, where now-Gov. Sarah Palin was mayor. When it was signed, Wasilla's police chief expressed displeasure.

"In the past, we've charged the cost of exams to the victims' insurance company when possible," then-chief Charlie Fannon told the Mat-Su Valley Frontiersman, the local newspaper. "I just don't want to see any more burden put on the taxpayer."

Now that Palin is the Republican nominee for vice president, Democrats such as former Alaska governor Tony Knowles — who signed the rape-kit bill into law and was defeated by Palin in 2006 — are raising the issue to question Palin's commitment to women's issues and crime victims. Palin appointed Fannon after firing his predecessor shortly after she took office in 1996.

"In retrospect, I would have asked the female working-mother mayor of that town why her police chief was against this," said Croft, the former Anchorage state representative.

Palin spokeswoman Maria Comella said in an e-mail that the governor "does not believe, nor has she ever believed, that rape victims should have to pay for an evidence-gathering test."

"Gov. Palin's position could not be more clear," she said. "To suggest otherwise is a deliberate misrepresentation of her commitment to supporting victims and bringing violent criminals to justice."

ohgeorge - I think you meant to say 'Biden is wealthy'. If you did, then you've been misinformed. Biden has a net worth of under $150,000. His mother lives with him because his father never had a pension. He lost his wife and daughter due to a drunk-driver. That tragedy has not once led him to say that he is an expert on highways and infrstructure, unlike McCain who claims to be an expert on foreign policy and war because he was in one once.

post #103
Brilliant answer. The GOP movement is infected with word-twisting, finger-pointers.

Race is the biggest issue in this election.

Palin is just a pon.
A distraction, that the American people won't buy into.

Nice try McCain...but now it's our move.

On November 4th...checkmate.

Some "reformer" Sarah Palin has turned out (NOT) to be!

She's refusing to co-operate with an investigation into "Trooper- Gate"!

QUOTE:

Palin won't meet with 'Troopergate' investigator

ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- Gov. Sarah Palin is unlikely to speak with an independent counsel hired by Alaska lawmakers to review the firing of her public safety commissioner, a spokesman for Republican presidential candidate John McCain said Monday.

Spokesman Ed O'Callaghan said he has not spoken with Palin, but she was "unlikely to cooperate" with the inquiry "as long as it remains tainted."

Democrats charged that the McCain campaign was trying to stall the investigation.

"The partisan presidential campaign of McCain/Palin has interfered and is picking partisan targets to smear in order to make this investigation look like something it isn't," said Patti Higgins, chairwoman of the Alaska Democratic Party. "Rather than cooperating with the investigation, the Republican presidential campaign is doing everything it can to stall and smear."

Sarah Palin's foreign policy expertise...

http://www.politicalplace.com/phpBB3/...

Now you can be a foreign policy expert too! :]

post 121

Palin is Govener of a state that pays people for living there. I guess they wouldn't need food stamps when they get hard cold cash for nothing.

Just when you think we have enough reptiles here in SW Florida the GOP go and send another one. Only good thing is that eventually she will head back North.

Sarah Palin is change to what? What "change" will she bring to Washington DC? Please be specific, toting the c-word around without substance is cheesy at best!

Here's the "change" Sarah Palin wants to bring to Washington DC.....

She has sued the federal government to remove the polar bear from the endangered species list to make drilling for oil in Alaska's ANWR an option. That's a radical far rightwing stance on the issue that even John McCain opposes.

She's the queens of earmarks and the first ever mayor in Alaska to hire a lobbying firm to secure funds for a series of earmarks, like $1 million for research on the rockfish.

She wants to make abortion illegal in ALL cases, including that of a rape victim, something even Cindy McCain opposes.

She was the director of indicted Republican Senator Ted Steven's 527 group.

In her acceptance speech Sarah Pailin said, "I told the Congress 'thanks, but no thanks,' for that bridge to nowhere."

Truth be told, when Alaska's Congressional delegation secured the earmark for "bridge to nowhere" she supported it, but of course she was then running for governor. She accepted the funds and used them elsewhere. As mayor of Wasilla, a town with a population of 6,700 people, she hired a lobbying firm to secure more than $26 million in federal earmarks. Evidently she thought the American taxpayer should pay almost a million dollars for the city's sewer repairs and half a million dollars for a youth shelter as well as other programs. Wasilla is located about 45 miles North of Anchorage. She also wanted the American taxpayer to pay for a rail system that would have ran from Wasilla to Ted Steven's resort.

When she became mayor the Wasilla had a surplus. When she left the town had a $22 million deficit.
"That's not change we can believe in."

But, this is the "change" you want in Washington DC?

On earmarks:

Sarah Palin wanted the American taxpayer to pay for a rail that would run from her hometown (pop. 6,900) to indicted Republican Senator Ted Stevens’ resort. This is fricken’ amazing!

The more we're learning about her, the more there is to not like about her.
__________________________

Now, while I commend Palin for making some responsible cuts to the state budget, I can’t commend her for the misleading comments that are so unnecessary.

Example:

Sarah Palin, in her acceptance speech told us that she put a luxury jet, that her Republican predecessor had purchased, on eBay. That was all she had to say about it. Ok, true, that happened. She did put it on eBay.

Now let’s listen to McCain elaborate. John McCain said at a rally yesterday,”She sold that jet on eBay (APPLAUSE)….. (PAUSE)….. And she sold it for a profit.”

Ok, I guess putting it eBay wasn’t good enough, or was selling it good enough, so now he’s going to lie about what actually happened.

Facts:

First, she didn’t sell it on eBay. She put in to eBay three times but it never sold, so she sold it to a broker.

Second, she didn’t make a profit. The state bought the jet for $2.7 million and she sold it for $2.1 million.

You know, one would expect the jet to suffer some depreciation. Why the lies? Yes, like she said, she put it on eBay, but it didn’t sell on eBay. So what was the point of even mentioning the fact that she tried selling it there? Why not just say, ‘I sold that luxury jet my predecessor purchased.’ That’s commendable without the misleading eBay comment added. John McCain simply lied when he elaborated and said it sold for a profit.

It’s these exaggerations and lies that the politicians have to be called out on. It’s lies, exaggerations and misleading comments that led to the invasion of Iraq.

How about some “Straight Talk” for a change!

yeah scotchbonnet, right.
Your credibility just hit minus figures with that last post!!!

I can imagine what you would say if we saw images of Michelle Obama openly displaying weapons with pride, and fighting for gun rights in Chicago. Speaking of Chicago - why don't YOU hit the streets there to help some people and see how long you last in those conditions.

scotchbonnet - what have YOU ever done to help someone? Ever volunteered for anything in your life? or are you as out of touch as your candidates? I bet you won't even help an old lady across the road.

They aren't lying about it either JYD. Are they?

Sarah Palin is!

To # 87 antiquepaper

I meant no disrespect to minority races when stating "your boy" in my comment Wrong choice of words. Now that you pointed it out I can see how one would think that and for that, I do apologize.

I guess I found out just how politician's must feel when their words get taken the wrong way.

Carly Fiorina, a key surrogate to John McCain, admitted on Tuesday, that Sarah Palin does not have the experience needed to run a major company like the one that she, Fiorina, formerly headed.

"Do you think [Sarah Palin] has the experience to run a major company, like Hewlett Packard?" asked the host.

"No, I don't," responded Fiorina.

IRONSIDE FOR PRESIDENT---as the top inmate of an insane asylum. Your thought process is non- existent, but you are king of the copy and paste. Most of your sources are from the liberal media. Give me you something you saw on Fox news not the Clinton News Network. Even better, think on your own.
Confuse a liberal--use facts.

#116 - Biden's wife and daughter did die in a traffic accident, but it was not a drunk driver. She pulled in front of a truck that was unable to stop. Tragic, but not a drunk driver. McCain was a POW that they tried to use as a political tool - he recognized that and refused to be sent home out of turn. He spent years learning some of the worst a soldier can be subjected to - I think that qualifies him as knowledgable about war and foreign policy. I don't understand how your wife and daughter being killed in an accident could possibly be compared to personally spending years directly involved in the results of war and foreign policy. Both tragic, but your comparison makes no sense.

This is the kind of character Sarah Palin is made of.

Palin finds humor with insults hurled at cancer suvivor.....

Compassionate Conservative Sarah Palin LAUGHS like a sick teeny-bopper as shock jocs make disgusting jokes on a cancer survivor that happens to be a Republican rival of Palin.

Pain insinuate she sold it on eBay at the convention, or why even bother mentioning eBay? It was put three times and never sold. She ended up having a broker sell it for her.

What was the point of even mentioning eBay? To show she computer literate, unlike McCain?

Cars lose a good chunk of their value as soon as they leave the showroom - wouldn't that work the same for a plane? If the 2006 value of that jet was around the 2.1 mil it sold for, and the state saved the storage and maintenance costs, then I'd consider it a profit. Even if not, I think it's great that she sold it. Not typical of a politician - they usually keep all the perks they can get and add as many as they can.

I fail to see any significance in saying it was put on eBay when it never sold there. What was the point it? Had it sold there, she'd have had bragging rights, but it didn't, so she failed on eBay... THREE TIMES. Big whoopee!

I want my local officials, Mayor, County Commissioners, etc. to get all the State and Federal monies they can. That's a great part of their job. Palin did her job.

I do not want my Rep or Senator to get that money through blind, hidden earmarks. Vote for it in a legitimate bill.

That's the difference to me. The problem is the granting process not the request.

No LadyDrafter, that doesn't translate into profit.

But, I think it great she sold it too. Why exaggerate it though. That's what I don't like about the story.

Regarding post #157

Hmm...I thought those were the actions of gay men, whether they be Republican or Democrat or Liberal.

Was that really a good reply for post #147?

So many Americans are glutton for more of the same. AMAZING. As if they haven't learned anything from the past eight years.

What is the significant difference between Bush's and McCain's economic policies?

JYD, I have given her credit for selling it. I can't give her credit for embellishing the story though. She was wrong to do that.

I think selling a plane and getting capital back is great, below is an article from the Chicago SunTimes, great read.
In 2006, Sen. Obama requested an earmark $300,000 to replace and update the projector system at the Adler Planetarium. In 2008, he requested $3,000,000 for replacement of the projector system and other equipment in the Sky Theater. For reference, this is three times the amount he earmarked for the HIV/AIDS Policy and Research Institute at Chicago State University.

While the Adler Planetarium earmarks look normal on the surface, there is a catch. The Chairman and two of the Vice Chairman of the Adler Planetarium Board of Trustees raised a total of almost $250,000 for Sen. Obama’s 2008 Presidential campaign. The Adler Planetarium was probably pleasantly surprised when they found that their earmark increased by $2.7 million dollars, in other words, by a factor of ten.

I am looking forward to this visit by Palin.

Whether you like Obama or McCain, this lady has made this election season a lot more interesting.

I'm just wondering when either party is truely going to deal with the issues. And I dont mean the ones running for office.

How about congress trying to sneak their energy bill through last night. One that keeps the states from getting any reward for letting the states share in the oil revenues generated by drilling off their coasts.

Yeppers , its a good thing we have a Democratic Congress trying to screw all of us living in a state that would recieve oil revenue sharing.

Vote McCain/Palin in 2008

#162 - Thanks for a kind response. I was afraid I might get blasted. I agree it was wrong and unnecessary to exaggerate it, but if I'm reading right, that was McCain, not Palin. I understand that they're both on the same ticket, but I'm disturbed by the frenzy and ferocity of attacks on Palin and some of the bloggers who can't seem to help themselves from the same sexist attitudes they say will hurt her in foreign dealings. I wonder about that myself, especially if people in this country can't get past the fact that she's a woman, but my father-in-law was quick to point to Margaret Thatcher and the respect she's received despite dealing with countries that don't value women's opinions or qualifications.

Can I get a lap dance?

Perhaps a good question for her would be 'How long ago did dinosaurs exist?' if her answer is as recent as the last 4000 thousand years then we know we have a problem!!!
