Governor Palin is starting to scare me even more -Palin is like a 7 year old that is being brainwashed into following a misgiuded stance and wanting to expand the power of the Vice President....Palin please listen CLEARLY The duties of the Vice President are: to Preside over the senate AND being prepared to be President if something were to happen to McCain......I ROCK WiTH OBAMA '08

If she got it we might have been in World War 3 already.

Vice-president Cheney reinvented himself and we know what happened. Gov. Palin wanted to force her agenda without study. Gov. Palin is not dumb nor stupid. She did not want to read and follow Constitutional guidelines. She said no one ever told her what a V.P. does. She will be running in 2012.

Question authority and vote!

I don't think they'll make it, but if they do, watch out for Palin.

[leesagrrl]

She's Bible Spice.

She's the down home Joe Six Pack lovin' and adulteratin', plain talkin' lyin' sack of your Neo Republican shite... and she's dangerous! And she sure loves to drop her "g's" to sound all folksy.

It's a shame being an arrogant ignorant American is now, not only accepted in society... but it's a role Models for other idiots.

[leesagrrl]

Oh I fully believe she has the drive... and it's frightening!

Google "Sarah Palin's Almost Creepy Ambition Should Worry McCain"

See if that scares ya.

[Mandarin71]

Palin doesn't have the intelligence or drive needed to do Cheney shit. She's a Quayle with delusions of grandeur.

[10aces]

Turley makes a great point.

Why should you be trusted with an office in the branch of government that enforces law, while ignoring the law (subpoena) in your own state?

[LaserBears]

The Obama camp is trying not to out-dirty play the McCain camp. But that doesn't mean common Joe Six Packs like us can't do something about it. Write to MSM about all the crap that McCain and Palin has been a part of, but MSM has not been touching it for fearing of being "biased": Troopergate, Keating 5, Rick Davis + Fannie/Freddy, just to name a few.

FUCK MCFALIN!!!!!!!!

I had feeling Rachel might hit on this topic. I was stunned when I heard Palin say that she wanted to expand VP powers. I was also stunned when she repeatedly used the non-words "nucular" and "ya" (instead of "you"), repeated talking points even AFTER Biden completely shot them down and refused to answer 70% (or more) of the questions AT ALL.
