OK - I'll go a bit further.
I think that Sarah Palin is a great choice - mostly because she does not tolerate business-as-usual politics. She has gone nose-to-nose with powerful politicians in her own party over conduct unworthy of a public servant... and won. I see no history of "bandstanding" - just a solid record of doing the job she was hired to do. She's an uncommon yet common person, much like Harry Truman. I think that if more people like her were in public office, politics would be much less the joke it is right now.

It will be interesting to see what this duo has to say in the coming months. I think we've already heard and seen everything that the opposition has in its arsenal.

No, I am neither Republican nor Democrat - I don't like "groups" of any kind - but I especially dislike people who try to fool me.


well said, I would have to agree with that statement after doing some additional research last night, she seems to be a straight shooter. Not to seem sexist, but she not bad looking for 45. :devil:

The Republican VP pick was a Govenor less than two years and before that she was mayor of Wasilla.
Obviously she was picked for image, not substance.. not sure what she brings to the table, other than she is a conservative and a woman.

I listened to Colin Powell make an interesting point on a Doc. he was in.. he mentioned when he was in the military, how people would tell him he only got a promotion
or an assignment because he was black. He said fine , because for 200 years my people got nothing..I'll accept this and I'm ok with it.

Does experience really matter? Can you learn on the fly? I think so- if you are a reasonable, solid person to start off with.

The Republican ticket is a conservative ticket though... they will reverse Roe v. Wade (abortion rights)... why is the Gov. still involved in this?
She believes in teaching creationism in public schools... for those two reasons alone I cannot consider this republican team.
