Nice way to dodge answering anything posted. I guess that great edumacation you are getting is paying off.

Uh uh....say it ain't so. Aggie ain't gettin' a edumacation! I was thinkin' he just thought that birdie was cute an' all. If that's what they're teachin' at KU, I'm glad my stepson wants to go to the Naval Academy.....

What's not to like about her! Really! What a "normal" person.

1. She is against abortion in rape and incest cases. At least she took a stand. It might not be the answer you like, but its the answer she gave, and she WILL NOT flip flop on it.
2. She supported the secession of Alaska from the USA (America first..RIGHT!) She supported the RIGHT of secession. Isn't freedom great?
3. We are all now well aware of her travesties as a mayor (of a sprawling metropolis...) Like what? What travesties are you referring to?
4. Perpetually inserts God into everything. Which is a problem when she attends a church that openly believes that the Jews are the root of many global problems. I attend a Catholic church every Sunday. I'm not Catholic.

Just those alone make me think :swiming:

She is the real deal, or at least she has me totally convinced. She is what politics should be. Just real, average, ordinary people trying to change things for the better. Yeah she's got issues, so what. Like you don't. I know I do. So don't sit there on your high horse and claim that because she's an uncorrupted government official, she isn't fit to become the VP of the greatest country on the planet. Oh, and she's Christian. Maybe society wouldn't be as messed up as it is now if there was just a little more God involved in things.

If you're going to bash her, attack her stand on something. I think you'll see in the debates what she's made of, and I can't wait.

If anyone missed Palin’s speech or wants to see it again, the RNC posted it on YouTube.

45 minutes long.

Agnostic why even come here and pretend you actually think. You see a (r) by a name and you go into evil nazi leftist hate mode no big deal. You can go on and pimp Biden who lies about the guy who killed his wife and kids for political points, yep sure is nice to kick the dead for sympathy.

Know one thing and one thing only about agnostic Sgt. T, he is a sniveling leftist from Lawrence. In other words he/she has never learned the lessons of the real world, seen the sands of Iraq or paid a mortgage or fed a child, he has depended upon the words of leftist professors like that Moon guy to feed his mind and the federal government or his parents to pay his way through school.

You're right about one thing. The government is paying my education..in the form of some pretty substantial loans. I work nearly full time to supplement what money I do borrow from the government. That's all information that is none of your business, but maybe at that point you can quit the personal attacks. Calling me a sniveling leftist is a joke. The problem with you aft lizard is you're too much of a jackass to use this board for what it should be. This is not a forum to insult others; it's a forum to talk about issues. It's people like YOU who ruin this kind of environment.

How does supporting a state's secession equate to putting the United States America first, the slogan McCain & Co. are shoving down everyone's throats?

I don't think being Christian is in and of itself a bad thing. And I certainly don't oppose to having a Christian President. I don't oppose to having a Muslim President. Religion is something that shouldn't affect public policy. But when a candidate can sit in a church that justifies world suffering by God because a group happens to see God a little differently (and not do anything about it), that's when I get scared. It's all hypocrisy. The vast majority of this board are ripe and ready to bash Obama for his former pastor's remarks, but vehemently defend Palin's extreme clergy/religious beliefs! I just find it shocking, and those views ARE frightening.

I never said I didn't have issues. I'm also not justifying my candidacy for the VP of the USA.

And for her failures as a mayor. She forced the resignation of the current city managers when she took office because she felt in her *heart* they didn't support her. Those requests were 11 days after she took office! Those who refused were terminated. She took a town with no debt to a town with nearly $20,000,000 in debt.

Wonk Room » As Mayor, ‘Hard-Core Fiscal Conservative’ Sarah Palin Left Wasilla $20 Million In Debt

Not to mention as governor she proposed giving a budget surplus back to each individual in small proportions; all the while proposing that the state borrow money to fund highway projects it had. Really fiscally-conservative..

Dang dude....student loans..are sort of like the gov't helping you but not really. It's not a free hand out. You will be paying on that puppy for a LONG time...Student Loans are the DEVIL...lol

Calculators - Student Loan Calculator the army will pay off all of your student loans up to $65,000 AND give you a new pair of boots!

Religion is something that shouldn't affect public policy.

I agree because the candidate represents the public..not his personal religious beliefs...

I'm not too excited about paying them back. ;)
