And she's been governor of Alaska since the war started, is that what you're trying to say? Or are you saying she was running for VP when she visited the troops?

Funny you should bring up photo ops. Obama was scheduled to visit wounded troops during his presidential campaign), but when told he couldn't bring his film crew, he made his first executive decision and decided that visiting troops wasn't worth the bother if he couldn't use the footage in a campaign commerical.

That, my friend, is a true Democrat value, especially one of your generation.

I have a friend who makes a couple of trips to Afghanistan a year, and was present when Obama visited. Mr. "Cares about America" walked right past the troops and into the VIP tent. No wave, no "good day", no "Hi, I'm Barack Obama and I'm running for president". Nothing.

Not only does Palin talk to the troops, but she talks to them as real people. She doesn't talk down to them and her voice isn't dripping with condescension or pity. She sees them as heroes and not as victims. Obama just doesn't have that value.

Heh, give it a rest whitehawk and remove the partisan blinkers. Republicans are the kings of slime, despite the dems using similar tactics.

You need to expand your channel search, instead of hitting fox try MSNBC try this link. It seems that Obama did have breakfast with soldiers and sailors on his visit to Afghanistan.

So far, she hasn't told us which Democrats are doing this, or what lies they are saying. Who are the "Obama-Biden Democrats"? She doesn't say. The National Enquirer is fairly equal opportunity with its lies, so that really doesn't count. Certainly people have questions about her qualifications...that's a normal part of politics, and anybody running who can't take the heat should stay out of the kitchen. If she is expecting people not to scrutinize her life and policies because she is such a nice person, that seems really foolish.

"So far, she hasn't told us which Democrats are doing this, or what lies they are saying."

That doesn't matter to the faithful. She says they're lying and those loyal to the sect nod their heads and mummer agreement.

Farmboy Palin is turn out to be a great pick so far. Politics haven't been this interesting since...Barrack Obama. I agree with you though, her life and policies should be scrutinizes. Her kids should not.

Palin has the Left in a tizzy. She doesn't fit the stereotype that they have dreamed up for a conservative woman. The Left and the main stream media (which are one and the same) ignored John Edwards' story for nearly a year because they support him. They jumped all over Palin with scurrilous tabloid stories from the moment she was selected by McCain as his running mate. They see her as a threat to their view of what a proper professional woman should be.

The Leftist media and opinion writers went after Palin's daughter first because the conservative idea of abstinance isn't 100% effective - as if the Left's idea of family planning and aborting inconveniect children is. Palin's underage daughter is fair game when Chelsea Clinton is still being protected. Liberals quickly fell for the tabloid accusation that Palin's daughter was the real mother of her youngest child! All of the sudden, Liberals are concerned about Palin's children when for decades they have advocated aborting children that are a threat to a woman's career goals.

For those that are in denial that the Left and the main stream media are going after Palin because of her gender, have you not read the opinion pieces from the New York Times? Blatently misogynist.

Palin, what a joke. I haven't followed the Rep convention but is she the one saying Obama shouldn't be voted because he lack experience ? And who's saying that ? An about two years worth (yeah right) experience gov from Alaska ? Wow if that's qualifying for VP the standars really went down the roof for the reps. Beside, she used to teach (or still does, can't remember now) creationism... that alone scream MENTAL CASE to me heh
ColAmerica at 09:13 AM JST - 7th September

ByakkoDono- McCain would not pick a unexperienced mental case as VP.

Already she is being talked about worldwide, and has a growing band of admirers.

Palin is correct, persons such as yourself are spreading misinformation and lies about her good person heh.

Wolfpack,

I don't think that the media is "going after" Palin because of her gender. I think they are going after her because she has played on her gender and because her resume sounds like a cross between a beauty pageant bio and a reprise of W-O-M-A-N.

She needs to make it clear that she is who she says she is. At the current time the glossy resume seems to me to be papering over some unanswered questions, questions which are a little jarring to say the least.

It didn't matter who McCain picked. The die-hard Republicans would have supported anyone. Too many people treat politics as sport. They have some strange need to support their political party even though they can't put forth a decent candidate. You're not Cubs fans people. Wake up.

Both sides badmouth the other side. And both claim foul play. I seem to remember someone talking about a "right wing conspiracy". Elections are like a game. Unfortunately, its a bit like soccer where people fall down and cry foul too often.

Tina Fey is available and the pay is excellent.

I'm sure they're no shortage of male applicants for these "positions".
