Yes, she has some light executive experience over small constituencies and has done some good things for Alaska. But here's what else her past experience, interviews, comments, and debate performance tell me:
1. She has spent zero time dealing with or even thinking about national, foreign policy, Constitutional issues.
2. She has decidedly mediocre intellectual/critical reasoning capabilities.
3. Her basic understanding of many national policy issues is weak to non-existent.
Obama (for all his inexperience) and Biden - and McCain, for that matter - are light years ahead of her in all three respects. That's just my opinion, and it is independent of whether or not I agree with their or her politics.
It's also my opinion, irrespective of whose politics I agree with, that it was just despicable and irresponsible for McCain to have picked her as running mate. We as a society can choose not to vote for Obama if we think he's too inexperienced, but we can't vote her ass out (not right away, at least) if we decide to stick 71 year-old McCain into office. Putting "country first"? my ass...
I agree 100%.
We need to work on our foreign policies in pretty much ALL respects. Bush's negligence to go into a war without UN support killed us. Bush's foreign policies have been just despicable and is another one of the reasons why the USA is shit compared to other countries.
Didn't Bush come directly from Governor to the President? I was not really into politics all that much back then so i dont really remember.
What does Palin's record consist of? Fighting corruption in her own party in Alaska. Puting money back into the pockets of Alaskans. Fighting corrupt oil tycoons in Alaska. Sitting on the board of an ethics committee for years.
hehe the board of ethics while she's being questioned again for her abuse of power. such an ethical woman she is.
she also took money from those hardcore oil tycoons she was fighting to have a party dance dance for her and her rich buddies. i wonder if russia could see the party?
^ you know what's interesting? The punchline is implied; everything we hate about the MTV generation is exactly what we hate about the palin cheerleading. It's literally like cheering on britney spears. we know she doesn't write her own music, but she can sing whatever is given to her pretty decently. She's a little bat-shit crazy but is good at covering it up. and people like her because she's hot, not because she has any substance.
you want good shit, you have to pay for it. These articles are out there to push messages and drum up anger amongst the poor voters, who in a damn heartbeat if they had the money, would be buying many of the same exact things...whether it's "their" money, or other's donated to their campaign.
(think about it, you have half the time a salaried reporter making shit critiquing others who are making far more then they ever will

"Amy Strozzi was paid $22,800 for her work as Palin's makeup artist for the first half of October, according to documents filed Thursday by the McCain campaign with the Federal Election Commission.
Palin's traveling hair stylist Angela Lew, the fourth highest paid individual during that time, was paid $10,000 over two weeks in October for what the campaign called "communications consulting."
The second and third highest paid individuals in the first two weeks of October were Randy Scheunemann, McCain’s chief foreign policy adviser at $12,500, and Nicolle Wallace, McCain's senior communications staffer at $12,000."

i think we should research *good shit* a bit more. there is absolutely no need to spend this much money on good looking ugly politician clothing. for a woman. most female suits are going to cost at least 300 less than a male suit.
i don't believe this is to drum up angry voters, it is to show light of how flippy floppy the republicans campaign is. and again, i do believe me and other liberal types think this is appalling because mcpain and alin concentrate on being doo-gooders of the working class which contradicts spending a huge amount on such frivolish things like clothing and make up.

all republicans love less taxes. they dont care, or do enough reaserch, on who get the tax cuts, they just dont like taxes.
people that would BENEFIT from Obama proposed tax cuts and WOULD NOT get any benefit from McPalins are the SAME PEOPLE who vote for McPalin and not for Obama. again, i see absolutely no reason as to why this is, it just is.
McPalin spend way too much time saying "less taxes" without explaining anything about it and Obiden spends not enough time explaining why his taxes are superior to McPalins.
much ado about nothing. If people really give a shit about how much is spent they'll show it by hitting the republican campaign in the pocketbook. In other words, they'll stop contributing.

If people would look at what she has done, they'd understand why she has an approval rate of 80% in Alaska, the highest approval rating in the country.
Dude, you seriously bring so much humor into my day. Thanks for posting!
