How to Speak Like an Expert (Attn: Sarah Palin)

All I know is that I am not voting for a corrupt Chicago-bred, smooth talking politician for president of my country. With the associations of Mr Obama and his liberal voting record, (when he voted at all), you don't get any more corrupt than he.

I would much rather hear a genuine, from the heart, speaker than someone who looks pretty, sounds pretty and who has corrupt, anti-American associations, who has the corrupt Chicago political machine as his teacher. Palin, with more experience than Obama, is the freshist, most wholesome individual that has hit this country's political scene in a long time. Those against her, for the most part, are afraid of a strong woman who hates those who hate this country and they hate her for it. I resent the fact that most African Americans (90%) are voting for Obama for one reason and one reason alone. The fact that he is African American. That's a terrific reason, right? Yeah, right! I would much rather vote for Condi Rice, Michael Steele, Thomas Sowell and a cast of other, more intelligent individuals.

Here's a good resource that has a lot of information on Palin. There's a video on there that has her questioning what the job duties of the vice president are just 2 months ago.

In reality all of the candidates are "spoliling the race for one another.
MAtt Gonzalez should be beside Mccain and Palin! Just like Mr Nader should have and should again in the coming debates! And then the people can decide who they want o choose for a president/vice president. Instead of complaining about the 2 available choices speak up for more voices and choices so that we can have political election equality like many other countries.

not more than the substance of the candidates. So far Paulin can't speak. Maybe we'll see better when her nerves calm a bit. Voting for a spoiler is not helpful, you might as well not vote than to mess with anybody elses decision. And we all have apparently lost 700 billion which won't come back. So will this little debate matter at all? Probably not.

"Hello Lefties"?
You didn't make it clear as to what exactly you find offensive in or about this blog. I will therefore assume that the subject of the blog, the suggestion that Sarah Palin needs some help in speaking, is what you bothers you. Is it your position that she is well-spoken? Do you find her to be clear and concise in her statements? Are her comments thought provoking - in a good way? Does she strike you as having a great deal of insight into the problems that our nation faces or may face in the near future? Do you think she has a good grasp of foreign policy and domestic issues?
Many people, including some renowned "Righties", have recently suggested that Governor Palin is in above her head. I don't know if you agree with this or not or if you simply think that the "liberal" media has gone too far in their reporting of the governor's verbal / intellectual slips? Do you think that any reporting on this should be off-limits? Should the interviews she gave have been confiscated by the McCain campaign immediately after they were recorded and prior to ever airing?
Finally, since US News & World Report and Don Imus are leftist will you now be getting your unbiased news from the National Review, FOX News and Rush Limbaugh? It isn't fun seeing anyone struggle with something, but isn't it better to find out about someone’s limitations before they get the job rather than after?

Well Joe Biden most certainly spoke like an expert with Katie Curic. He spoke like an expert con artist trying to weasle his way into the White House on the shirt tails of a promissing presidential hopeful. Obama could have done a lot better!

There are other choices besides Obama/ Biden and Mccain/ Palin. The reality is is that millions of people are gong to vote third party so instead of using the undemocratic slogan of "spoiler" if you believe in one of the viable third partys candidacies then vote for them. Then there will be a fighting change for them all!

I can't believe I'm saying this, but Sarah Palin makes Bush look really smart. At least he has a great educational background.
From wikipedia: Palin attended several colleges and universities. In 1982, she enrolled at Hawaii Pacific College but left after her first semester. She transferred to North Idaho community college, where she spent two semesters as a general studies major. From there, she transferred to the University of Idaho for two semesters.[11][12] During this time Palin won the Miss Wasilla Pageant beauty contest,[13][14] then finished third (second runner-up) in the Miss Alaska pageant,[15][16] at which she won a college scholarship and the "Miss Congeniality" award.[17] She then left the University of Idaho and attended Matanuska-Susitna community college in Alaska for one term. The next year she returned to the University of Idaho where she spent three semesters completing her Bachelor of Science degree in communications-journalism, graduating in 1987.[11][12]
