She asks will her great qualities qualify her? Yeah certainly Sarah. A VP is leader of Senators. Obama did not have any lead experience. Nada.

This is getting so boring at GU of late.

The video clip was from a period when Palin was not considering that she would be a national candidate for office.

Democrat, I got the 3 of Wands, a life altering decision, after much contemplation on the past, one must make very important decisions, on major life issues.

Republican, I got The Fool, hold your nose and jump, go for it, a time to follow one's heart, to take a chance, and have faith.

interesting!

3 of wands - yeah the demoSCATs are shifting the attention from Obama's race (color) (because now sex , Palin is in the equation) to anti Bush policies and insisiting McCain is a repeat of Bush.

McCain follow thine heart, Bush is not to blame alone. The real war is socialism against capitalism. The entire survival of the demoscats clan is based on socialism. FDR created the SSN program and we all know what a disaster that program is. But it ensured the democrats survival forever in this country. God knows what Obama is planning to make this country spiral downwards even further.

Because the right wing has virtually no opinions on anything...they're all about minimizing big govt right?

Clearly we've seen govt minimized in the past 8 years, right?

rich and greedy is your opinion.

I don't believe in punishing rich people for creating wealth. Whereas you and other socialists do.

I ain't no marxist who is jealous of rich people.

>>Are you rich?

No. And I don't make more than 250k a year. I am in the upper middle class you can say. I have come from india so know that the props in America is well created to handle the economy. I inherited a beautiful country and I wish to keep it that way. I also cannot see it ruined by people who love other nations more than America. While here , they talk about outthere. They bring their crap, their past, in to this country rather than melting into the pot. The more diverse a nation is the more Rich it is. Its ok to keep some part of your tradition alive, but to say "that" was better "there" is to live in the past and not be in the present.

Really, this is not the day when the idea that the rich were "all born into their money" is even viable. There is a large amount of highly successful entreprenuers, business persons and innovators who have made their wealth in their 20s/30s/40s through their own work and sacrifice. Alot of the money nowadays is "new" money.

We're not talking about punishing rich people, we're talking about a fiscal budget the works, not one that lands us trillions in the whole.

Who cares if people are self made? Do I really need to hear your re-iteration of the materialization of the American Dream for the umpteenth time? YAWN I don't understand why that is even a point of contention...democrats are certainly in full support of the American dream.

New material please!

Well Eleanore, the republican party is socially conservative and fiscally liberal, so where does that leave us?

With poor science and technology, falling behind in education, lack of stem cell research, and with a failing economy and a government massively in debt.

You think McCain and Failin Palin are gonna fix this with the same failed policies?

Good luck with your vote.

how can a person who was never raped know what it must be like to be reminded of that horrible trauma by being FORCED to keep the pregnancy because abortion has become illegal? Or even raise the child of that rape?

A woman who was raped by her own FATHER?? Is supposed to keep the child and raise it? What kind of ridiculous logic is that?

Republicans talk about the leftists being all about big govt, but what about them imposing their agenda? At least leftists will admit to promoting their agendas, republicans hide behind their lies...pretend to be true conservatives..but when you look at the govt that's been created over the past 8 years it's huge and its FAILING

What sort of society does this woman want us to live in? One where the religious beliefs of one group are imposed on the people?

So basically she wants to turn the US into IRAN??

However, for argument's sake, I can understand the other side's argument that it is not the child's fault how s/he came to be and that they're not the ones who should be punished for their biological father's criminal acts. Likewise, no woman would be forced to keep the child. People put their children up for adoption for much less. I've had the opportunity to meet women who have chosen abortion in this situation and those who have not. And I, personally, can't judge either the women or the children who survived on that decision alone.

Abortion is one of those topics on which I don't think either side has the right plan. However, I don't think anyone wants to step into the quagmire that is morality/ethics/religious beliefs and how they've ended up as our laws over the course of history.

You can think of the total debt as accumulated deficits plus accumulated off-budget surpluses.

See that word accumulated over there?

And I am saying greed is ok, if it does not break rules and regulations. Enron and Worldcom execs were greedy and they deceived the public. The recent collapse of Freddie Mae , etc is not due deception but mismanagement.

I will reply to you over time.

Regarding abortion:

There is little bit of marxism in everyone. So its easy to start thinking in central planning mode. Example, let there be a central rule protecting abortion rights for woman etc. When the fact of the matter is that some state contitutions does override federal laws. I think there are 12 states that does. Therefore instead of ranting about issues that affect others, bring this up with your state. That is if you are not part of these 12 states. The democrats talk of diversity, where are they when some bible belt states wants to protect those who are not born yet? On the flip side, if there is no abortion permitted in a state which is conservative, shouldn't the state adopt the baby and take care of her if the mother is not able to support? Will that not make them socialist?

Where I am going with this is that "Abortion", "Homosexuality" etc,,, are wedge issues and can be ignored while voting a federal candidate. We have spent 100s of years on abortion and sodomy laws And the constitution does keep state and religion separate. I don't hear stories of rape victims screaming they were forced to keep the baby. By whom?

Cheers!!!
