Re: Sarah Palin's Bona-Fides
Given the farce that our electorial process was becoming, th ePalin choice is almost a reflection of the times. Who better than a former beauty pagent contestant would understand that American politics is all flash and little substance? To her, this was just another show. I think the miscalculation has been that today's problems are felt in ...

Sarah Palin's Bona-Fides
I enjoy reading XX Factor on Slate.com and thought the article on XX Factor XXTra (The Un-Hilary) especially worthwhile. We are walking down a dangerous path when we attempt to evaluate Sarah Palin by any other way than on her qualifications as a potential President. She is not a symbol or an archetype for women; she is a job applicant. I have ...

The Big Bailout...Ha!
There is no need for a bailout of the bank when we can bail them out through tax payer spending...heres how: America has fought hard to become an independent nation and a leader in innovation, so how can we fix our current economic downtrend efficiently? Some seem to think that throwing money at the corporations who failed us is the answer…we all ...

Worst Candidate ALWAYS Wins U.S. Elections
Looking back on United States Presidential Election History, I have concluded that the WORST Candidate ALWAYS Wins the Election for the U.S. Presidency. I could cite all the examples, such as Wendel Wilkie, Adlai Stevenson, Richard Nixon, Michael Dukakis, Al Gore and George H. Walker Bush (Senior) along with George W. Bush (Junior); but you get ...

who prepped her?
Who prepped her? It was someone's job to make to make her presentable before a national audience. I submit you cannot make Governor Palin presentable before a national audience that is checking out her credentials for the ''heartbeat away'' position and not tell her -- several times -- about the most important foreign policy statement of the last ...

Resnik & Tate Post
I'll ignore your implied criticism of Christian leadership (invoking that oh-so-subtle hot-button phrase ''mixing of church and state'') and of the military (Heaven forbid anyone feel ''joy'' when her son proudly serves his country!). I'll just stick to what I take to be the thrust of your article: ''Palin is a coup because she enables McCain to ...

Hotlink to a Music Video -- John McCain for President!
I enjoyed watching both major American political party conventions during the last two weeks. Both were highly impressive, albeit quite stage managed, television events. the speeches were good, the nutzo fervor of the partisan crowds was exciting, even the props, hats, signs and occasional arrests of journalists on public sidewalks, and protesting ...

Democrats & Media make up your Mind!
Just a few days ago, you were decrying Sarah Palin as being “inexperienced”; “A Hockey Mom”; a wife and mother obviously too stupid to do the job; the mother of an engaged daughter too inept for the position of VP. Now after seeing Sarah Palin’s obvious accomplishments, experience and “lipstick Bull-Dog” gusto; in the light of day; you’re worried ...
