It is ture that Congress has a very low rating, 9% from your post, however, it might be fear to add that Obama won his seat by winning 70% of the vote cast.

I am still reading about McCain's pick. So as of now I don't know much. Thanks for your post. I feel that the VPs are so important this time around. With McCains age and the chance that a nut might go after Obama. I am not sure if VPs have ever been this important.

Obama’s Fear of a Woman

Now to a real patriot, a woman who will be John McCain's vice-presidential running mate, but who is far more qualified on all levels than Obama to be president. The title begins with the fact that Obama is afraid of a woman. That woman is Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska. Obama launched his first attack on Governor Palin before John McCain had time to make the official announcement.

McCain was set to introduce Palin at noon. Some reporters pieced together flight information on the various "short-list" candidates, and reported that Governor Palin was to be McCain's running mate. Within 15 minutes, without doing any research on the Governor, Obama made a hasty and unfounded attack public.

He said that McCain had chosen "the mayor of a town of 9,000, with zero foreign policy experience." If Obama's handlers knew anything about politics outside of Washington, DC they would have stopped him before he put his foot in his mouth (yet again) by missing the fact that she is the Governor of largest state in the Union. (Although much smaller in terms of population, Alaska is twice the size of Texas, and almost six times the size of California.)

Yes, she was a mayor, and a darned good one if you ask the people she led. And she used that beginning as a stepping stone to greater and greater responsibilities until she defeated a corrupt incumbent governor, and embarked on a successful crusade to crush corruption in Alaska. (Before Palin, Alaska had the same reputation for political corruption as Chicago, where Obama learned his politics.)

As to foreign policy experience, she is the Chief Executive of a state that is uncomfortably close to Russia, and was once owned by Russia. She is also the Commander in Chief of the Alaska National Guard, which would be our first line of defense should Russia try to do to Alaska what it recently did to another former Russian posession, the nation of Georgia. (You may say even Russia is not that crazy, but that's what everyone was saying about Georgia just a few weeks ago.) So I would put her knowledge of foreign policy way ahead of Obama, who served just 143 days as a junior senator before his arrogance persuaded him that he was capable of running a nation. His only foreign policy experience has been the blunders he has made during his campaign for the Oval Office. His mistakes during his pronouncements on international affairs made his inexperience and lack of preparation painfully evident.

As far as the other two people in this race, McCain's foreign policy experience overwhelms that of Joe Biden. And Biden was added to the Obama ticket with the express purpose of propping him up in this critical area where everyone (including his own party members) acknowledged his weakness.

So where Obama picked his running mate to try to make his ticket credible, McCain further strengthened an already strong campaign by bringing aboard someone who had vital experience that Obama, Biden and even McCain lacked: executive experience.

Rudi Giuliani put it best when he spoke Sunday on "Face the Nation." "She's vetoed legislation; she's taken on corruption in her party and won. She took on the oil companies and won. She administered a budget successfully." Obama, meanwhile, has "never run a city, he's never run a state, he's never run a business, he's never administered a payroll, and he's never led people in crisis."

Oh, by the way, Palin has an astounding 80% approval rating form the people she governs. Obama shares in the shameful 9% approval rating of Congress.

Setting aside for a moment the fact that Sarah Palin is far more qualified than is Barack Obama to be president, ask yourself this question. Who would you feel safer with as vice-president, knowing that she or he could become president at any moment: Joe "Politics-as-Usual" Biden, who has run a committee? Or Sarah "The Reformer" Palin, who has very successfully run the largest state in the United States of America?

Question to all. Does anyone know if Palin really said this.

Speaking before the Pentecostal church, Palin painted the current war in Iraq as a messianic affair in which the United States could act out the will of the Lord.

"Pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right. Also, for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending [U.S. soldiers] out on a task that is from God," she exhorted the congregants. "That's what we have to make sure that we're praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God's plan."


If she did, I am done with that ticket. I only vote for people who do what Zeus tells them. Because everyone as well know it is an act of Zeus.

That's not what my Bible says... "a wolf in sheeps clothing?", "masquerading as an angel of light?"... ;)

(Oh, and did I mention that "great nation Babylon?")

It is ture(sic) that Congress has a very low rating, 9% from your post, however, it might be fear to add that Obama won his seat by winning 70% of the vote cast.

Obama beat Alan Keyes, a conservative Republican from Maryland, who
faced an uphill battle. First, Keyes had few ties to Illinois political leaders. Second, during the time when Obama had no opponent, Obama had campaigned throughout the more conservative downstate regions to build up name recognition. Third, Keyes was seen as a carpetbagger, only establishing legal residency in Calumet City, Illinois a few (4) days before running. The Chicago Tribune in an editorial, stated that "Mr. Keyes may have noticed a large body of water as he flew into O'Hare. That is called Lake Michigan."

In all honesty Obama ran against no one.

It is a fact that indeed she Palin did say this. HuffingtonPost.com and cnn.com is where this statement can be found.

Jesus Christ! When I just read last days' posts, I was at first really impressed by the guy who seems to seriously think that some leader of your "one party with two right wings" (Gore Vidal) could start anything like a "Socialist program" in the US of A. You know, when you are living outside the US, aka "the rest of the world", the thought that there are actually people like him in your electorate is quite worrying, because they do indeed elect the "commander in chief of the most powerful army in the world", as said poster wrote. Outside the US, we have learned the lesson well that this army is not only an army for defense purposes. It is being used up to the present day (along with more subtle ways of coercion) in a ruthless fashion by your leaders in the rest of the world, aka "the place where people die when your leaders say it's time for war again". But we don't have a say in who your leaders are.

And then I read that Palin quote. Can you imagine how worried I am now? Oh, and by the way, could anyone explain to me the difference between the Muslim zealots who think they are executing God's will through violence and the Christian zealots who think they are executing God's will through violence - apart from their respective religion, that is?

One is fighting in self defense while the other is fighting in aggression... ;)

Good point. I also think there was a person before Keyes that had to drop out because his sexual life was not up to standards.

Also, why did the GOP not put someone up against him ... if they had a chance at winning?

Jack Ryan the Republican from the state of Illinois who was forced to withdraw from the 2004 United States Senate race due to an alleged sex scandal involving his relationship with his ex-wife, actress Jeri Ryan (7 of 9 from Star Trek Voyager).

7 of 9 makes me happy.

I agree with Bill Maher.
Sarah Palin is a Category 5 "Moron",
