POLITICS IS HER LIFE AND RELIGION. SHE IS ONE SIDED AND WILL NOT GIVE IN OR LISTEN TO ANYTHING BAD YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT DEMOCRATS OR OBAMA. <BR/>IF YOU DO SAY SOMETHING BAD YOU ARE CONSIDERED RACIST!<BR/><BR/>Everything is a prevarication.<BR/><BR/>First point. Obama held office in Illinois for eleven years as a State Senator representing eight million people<BR/> Palin is the governor of six hundred thousand. There is no comparison. In fact anything she headed<BR/> is small time, small town.<BR/><BR/>Second. a. The governor of any state is no longer C in C of his national guard since they’ve been called out by<BR/> the President. b. Being near a border conveys no kind of authority or knowledge. It has been proven<BR/> that while visiting Kuwait, she got close to the Iraq border but did not cross. c. Obama’s record—read<BR/> it and weep. He has done incredible things in a couple hundred days.<BR/><BR/> http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/2/21/164117/783/290/461422<BR/><BR/><BR/>Third, <BR/>Fourth. Good for her.<BR/><BR/>Fifth. a. She is now abandoning all ethical behavior in the matter of the investigation for the wrongful firing of<BR/> Alaska’s State Police Chief. Her husband has refused to testify after being subpoenaed. b. The chef remains<BR/> employed under another department and continues to serve as chef to both the new dept and the <BR/> Alaska Governor’s House. c. The jet never sold on E-Bay. It was sold for a loss to a private individual. Alaska<BR/> is geographically so vast, that business can’t be done without the use of airplanes. As governor, what has<BR/> she been flying? d. She backed down on building the bridge when public opinion went against it, but has<BR/> kept all the federal money, using it on other infrastructure projects. e. Great politics to be against big spending.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>SHE IS A JOURNALISM MAJOR WHO COULD NOT NAME ONE NEWSPAPER SHE READS WHEN ASKED TO NAME THEM BY COURIC.<BR/><BR/><BR/>She is really the most intellectually incurious candidate we’ve seen besides Bush. I don’t want a president I can have a beer<BR/>with. I want a highly educated, gracious, intellectually curious, cool-under-pressure person like Obama. Of the four nominees,<BR/>he is by far the classiest, and the most intellectually rigorous candidate we have seen since FDR.<BR/><BR/>Jarred, stop shilling for Bill.<BR/><BR/>YaraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-19260022749597559292008-08-31T15:05:00.000-05:002008-08-31T15:05:00.000-05:00Obviously, Jon Easter is also drinking the lefty '...Obviously, Jon Easter is also drinking the lefty 'need to steal power' kool-aid, as well.<BR/><BR/>Saying Obama made a great choice while McCain didn't is totally <I>'the blind wishing they could lead the blind'</I>.<BR/><BR/>Governor Palin has more credentials in running the entire State of Alaska than all three other Candidates put together do in their tenures as Senators. Being a Senator is nowhere near being the CEO of a major Corporation or like being a Governor.<BR/><BR/>There's a reason that no Senators have made it to the Oval Office since JFK. All grassroots voters get it that Senators just use taxpayer money for a free ride while they keep looking for their next Toga. (Yes, that goes for McCain, too. Although, in a bar brawl I'd never want Obama watchin my back - no way)<BR/><BR/>Mr. Easter certainly needs to read the independent websites instead and avoid the myopic approach of re-peating MSM talking points. Go here: www.realclearpolitics.com<BR/><BR/>Blogger AdvanceIndiana has certainly provided plenty of historical credentials for Gov. Palin without forcing anyone to do their own homework. Try and leave the homework avoidance campaign off Your List of What You're Not Gonna Do.... okay?<BR/><BR/>The fact that Palin is the Commander for the National Guard in Alaska (alone) makes her well qualified to take measures for Civil AND National Defense - must I repeat Alaska borders two foreign Countries (Russia & Canada).??<BR/><BR/>With Chicago-style Al Capone-like political tactics being used by the Obama Campaign, one wonders if anyone would seriously feel safe in the company of such people, even Mr. Easter.

Palin was in city government of a town of 7,000 people. Hardly apples to apples here."<BR/><BR/>Don't argue with a guy who worked for the Illinois legislature for 6 years. The collective wisdom of the people in the Illinois legislature could be held in a brown paper bag. The Chicago Democratic hacks were the worst. Obama spent the first 7 years in the legislature looking pretty, wining and dining with lobbyists and just trying to be seen. He didn't even get serious about legislating until his last year when he figured out he didn't have anything to run on in his U.S. Seante bid and he went to Senate President Emil Jones, his corrupt mentor, and said help me, Emil. Jones took away good bills from other more deserving legislators and let Barry put his name on them so he could look like he did something. If you don't believe that, just ask Emil. He'll tell you.Gary R.

That's what passes for journalism at today's Star.<BR/><BR/>His history of awful reporting is evidence the Star only keeps him on board to write columns because they've got to fill the page somehow. Lord knows their ad revenue is declining. Sadly Matt is becoming obsolete and doesn't even know it.<BR/><BR/>And where was the media scrutinizing Gov. Kaine, also in his first term and a former mayor himself?Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12806967747529139507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-57910281808419319422008-08-30T17:15:00.000-05:002008-08-30T17:15:00.000-05:00Come on...you are comparing her time as a city cou...Come on...you are comparing her time as a city councillor/mayor to Obama's time as a state legislator? Obama was in the Illinois state legislature. Palin was in city government of a town of 7,000 people. Hardly apples to apples here.<BR/><BR/>McCain made a bad choice. Obama made a good one. McCain again has shown that his judgment is impaired, and he should not be given the opportunity to lead our country. Presidential scholars are laughing at Palin's choice.<BR/><BR/>I suppose the Mayor of Beech Grove, Joe Wright will be his Secretary of State? Let's make the President of the Butte Montana City Council his Chief of Staff. <BR/><BR/>Bill Hudnut was more qualified to be a Vice Presidential nominee than Sarah Palin.Jon E.

If she does lose though, do you think she'd be available to come to Indianapolis to clean up the city's problems with conflcts of interest and people lining their pockets at taxpayer expense? It sounds like she dealt with problems in Alaska that are similiar to problems Mayor Ballard is ignoring in his own adminstration.mackenzie197https://www.blogger.com/profile/01040468150823277091noreply@blogger.com
