On any other forum this topic would have been closed about 30 posts ago, but the sad thing is that everyone agrees that the best qualified people to lead the country cannot be persuaded to step out of the private sector. There is no incentive, unless you like taking severe pay cuts, the total loss of you and your family's privacy and having to schmooze for your entire career.

My dad called me up and said, "Guess what? You're just like Sarah Palin! Except youdon't have your own float plane. You didn't win a beauty pageant. You don't know how to ski or gut a moose..." Um, Dad, I've never been to Alaska or Idaho either.

well I have watched and I have read and I have listend to all the garbage and crap from both sides, lies and lies you can't belive a word of any of it they don't answer the questions at all they dodge and evade please don't ask me to vote for some one with less guts than a gutter rat besides if you vote for macain your voting for palin because he will be gone before one monthes over. I am republican but I can't vote for a studering bag of look at my record since Alexander the great LoL. And so it's all crap were all pawns nobodys and these misrabale thieves on wall street are not worth the dust they were made of some one that will sell his soul to the all mighty dollar and screw the hard working back bone of this country dosent belong here. The founding fathers didn't want this and would be rolling over in there graves if they could see what self a pointed money grabing people have done to this land of the free and home of the brave. A goverment for the sickly rich by the sickly rich. God help us and save us from the cowards and spineless the blind t leading the blind. And the media they are to blame as well. That's it I was smoking and that's not the half of it were are the washingtons and the jeffersons, lincolns, rosavelts, ECT of today?

All I choose to say, without getting into toe stomping, and roof raising, is I'm WORRIED.

Tina Fey for VP She seems to do a better Palin than Palin.

The only thing I can say is read the book of Ezekiel and see if it doesn't remind, just a bit, of our country's current course and possible future one, too.

Our values and morales have fall completely to the way-side. We are a nation of greedy me,me,me peoples. And we are terrible idolaters, worshiping everything (money, career, sports, Hollywood, etc.) except for the One we should be turning to in faith for guidance and help.

God help and save us all.

She eats what she shoots and that is a heck of a lot more than I can say for the other side. I'm voting for her and McCain.

you know i'm with Bree on this..to me (Palin) is the only REAL person out of the whole bunch running..because she thinks she can really make a differants.(but that will never happen)The peaple on the tube ..and the peaple in our GOV. won't let it happen..thats how they think of all of us dumb, and clueless. and that we will take what ever they what us to hear and what ever they want to give us..and we'll be happy about it..maybe one day when they(both parties) run this country in to the ground(coming soon if not already here) we will all take our heads out of our (you know what) and take our country back. until then good luck to everyone..we are going to need it..this is just my two cents.

good stuff WVTriker!!! God help us...

It's stunning the contempt that the Internet elite show for average working people. When it comes to treating middle America as a voting block, the blue-blood, ivy league educated elite are happy to don hunting vests, swill a couple of whiskeys with the good ole boys and mingle in small town diners. But, if one of the people who actually do America's work dares to assume a position of power, then all stops are pulled out to rip them to shreds and put them back in their place.

It's a tradgedy that hero status is heaped on the inventors of the next 'MySpace' )or some equally mindless pursuit) and the useless drug addicts in Hollywood, while the men and women who are setting their alarms for 5am to keep this country running are denegrated as "white trash", "rednecks" and "morons".

Try living in Massachusetts, you'll pull your hair out to see the arrogant snobbery that's rampant here.

Government is WAY too big and, in it's current state, not what the founding fathers had in mind. I'm still waiting for the candidate that says" I will uphold the Constitution of the United States and govern within the confines of it." There hasn't been a decent presidential candidate since Ronald Reagan,imho. I like Sarah Palin,too bad she's running with McCain. I thank Sen. McCain for his service to our country, he certainly sacrificed more than most can comprehend, but I don't agree with a lot of his positions. I think Palin/Nugent(as in Ted) would be a good ticket in 2012!
