I can´t fathom how any thinkng woman could support her.
I don´t think you fathom very much, alameda. Not everyone agrees with your views and that doesn´t make us stupid.

in spite of a few shortcomings.
A few? I´ve heard quite many here in the Netherlands.
Troopergate - a family problem, enormous debts in the city she left after being mayor there, she wanted to ban books from the library, she wanted religious statements on public schools (which is not allowed!), she has been a sympathiser/member even from the anti-American AIP, she thinks homoseksuality can be ´cured´ by praying a lot, the scandal about her pregnant unmarried daughter (I thought her motto was abstinence?), using federal money for useless prpjects etcetera.
No, I´m not a republican, not a democrate as well. I´m happy we have here more choices without the election hassle the US have. I´m afraid that my views in the eyes of many Americans are going too far, in the fifties I would have been chased by McCarthy.....

Is there a re-incarnation of communist hunter McCarthy (btw I´m not a communist!) here on TLC?

Why am I not amazed at this? I for one think she is dangerous.
totally agree!
Time to drill Teas?? C´mon serioulsy, I am not all into the hippy save the bears attitude and am all for the people and different issues pertaining to the people of my country. We are not voting Palin as President it is McCain! He is twinnie of Bush, do not scream change when there is no difference!
Drilling is your answere? That small amount of additional oil would take years to develop and have an insignificant impact on prices. Oil and gas companies already have leases and permits for federal lands containing most of the reserves, which aren’t being fully utilized.
During the time we would wait for a bit more oil, we can bring permanent solutions online, such as cars with much higher mileage, and renewable energy and energy efficiency that will reduce fossil fuel prices by reducing demand. McCain will be dead by then.
None of these candidates would have been my first choice, but still I am floored to know that people are satisfied with the way this country is going.
SCARY SCARY TOPIC, best to look away before this gets to heated.
Teaschip are you looking for a fight, why would you possibly bring up anything political on here. NO ONE can ever fully agree when it comes to politics and religion so why start it?
Obviously, you have not read any previous comments from members prior to me. I guess they were picking a fight? I haven´t insulted or attacked anyone here on the contrary my dear...why are you taking such offense..it appears you have also contributed. You really need to educate yourself on change....it is Obama who is screaming change. Bye the way who said they are satisfied with the way the country is going? Now tell me who is picking a fight?

Might be. But for me as an outstander the complete election ´circus´ in the US is about scandalising eachother... I´m not used to that.

Educate yourself! Yes it was OBAMA´S theme "Change" now stolen by your precious queen Palin and McCain. By fighting, I did mean posting about politics in the first place. If you plan on voting for this party you surely are saying your satisfied with the way its going. When you tell people half the world away to EDUCATE themselves that would be fine, but do not tell someone a State away, because I take it personal. Stop pretending you are more educated then everyone else on here, it gets so old.

I agree with you Trudy that they can take on a circus atmosphere. Even as an American, it is hard to see the truth beneath all the media hype. Honestly, I think all politicians are corrupted in some way, shape or form. I don´t completely agree with any candidate. I vote for the candidates who have the most in common with my personal views.
