I don’t think you know enough about her to make the claims you do. Today will be the first time she speaks. Watch her and see what you think about her.
I bet she wouldn’t lie like Hillary did about being shot at by snipers. I also bet she can prove her citizenship unlike Obama. I also bet she wouldn’t run around with racist slobs like that pastor guy or run around with criminals and bombers.

John, I’m sorry but I have to reiterate my point. You clearly didn’t get it the first time. My dislike for Palin does not make me a democrat. I never said I liked Hillary any better. You are just jumping to false assumptions. Attacking Hillary does not gain any ground in refuting my criticisms of Palin.
As for your criticisms of Obama, I agree that his affiliations with Rev. Wright don’t demonstrate the best judgment. I conceded that neither candidate is perfect. But yes, Palin probably would run around with racists, as many evangelicals are. McCain’s affiliations with Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell and other religious hate spewers are no less embarrassing. So that one doesn’t help your case either. At best it is a push, at worst the right is more extreme so it’s a mark against you.
Tonight won’t be the first time she speaks. You’re claim that I don’t know enough about her is an error. See my list of bullet points above. We do know quite a lot about her, and the words of her speech tonight will not trump her actions of the past.

Underdose, You don’t know anything about McCain “affiliations” with Pat Robertson or anyone and neither are the Rezko types. I doubt if you don’t even know anything about Robertson that you didn’t read in Newsweek or Time or some network news show.
So Palin is your typical evangelical. Racist. Maybe Palin and Obama’s “typical white woman” Grandmother would get along just fine.

All I see here are a bunch of hateful, personal attacks on a fellow Pigg. Look, if you think he is off in his depiction of Palin, call him on it and give evidence to support your position. Here’s one for you…
Yes, she did lie tonight. She claimed to have said NO THANKS to the Bridge to Nowhere.. If this is true…then why did she lobby for it?
“Palin said Alaska’s congressional delegation worked hard to obtain funding for the bridge as part of a package deal and that she ‘would not stand in the way of the progress toward that bridge.”
-Ketchikan Daily News 9/2006
I guess she was for it … before she was against it. OOPS!
She claims to have chased the old, corrupt GOP establishment out of Alaska.. But she was chair of Ted Steven’s 527 group. Any idea what he’s up to these days? I suppose you can look it up on the tubes.
Are you really going to run with the claim that Obama is not a US citizen? Free Republic pursued this one for months and came up empty. The Department of Health clerk in Hawaii confirmed it was valid and their records affirm the facts of the “forged” certificate. Look it up. Again, on the tubes.
Palin did something McCain was unable to do — she rallied the base. But her speech also gave a very important signal to the Dems: The gloves are off. No more victim card. Game on!
