‘Jane, Palin didn’t spend the money..her campaign did. Palin, in an interview yesterday with Hannity, said she typically got her clothes from a consignment shop..and named the shop’

You’re correct about Governor Palin.

Speaking of places of business, at the VP debate earlier this month, Senator Joe Biden talked about how he spends time at Kate’s Restaurant in Scranton, Pennsylvania where he gets to know how ‘regular folks’ live….(Kate’s restaurant closed in 1986).

I’m sure Eric Mink and the Post-Dispatch will get around and inform us of that discrepancy, don’t you think?….they’re just very busy right now…

Just caught my own error since Barrack was born before that date. Need to research the standard for those born before that date but I can’t imagine they differ that much.

What is interesting is that Palin is apparently the Republican presidential candidate here - no one has mentioned McCain. Is Palin running against Obama or is McCain?

A bi-partisan commission in Alaska (8 republicans, 4 democrats) found Palin had abused her power. That’s why she’s being deposed. If they hadn’t made those findings, there wouldn’t be any deposition. They aren’t doing it for fun.

Other things that would have been discovered had the McCain campaign even bothered to turn over a little bit of topsoil in vetting Palin are discussed in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03fcGelz8Hw

Palin is not the only reason McCain is losing, but she is the gigantic reason that lifelong Republican politicians like Colin Powell and former Massachusetts mayor William Weld are giving for publicly endorsing Obama.

I agree that it would not make sense to have such a major ommission and come this far…but what doesnt add up is the lack of evidence to support that he is eligible. If this was a non-issue, the allegation’s dismissal would be front page news all over the country and to date there is no proof otherwise. Apparently the law suit is on going as we speak.
It is just strange…but I guess time will tell.

Nice price to pay for a wardrobe Sarah ($150,000). I need a hockey-moms salary. Anywayz, how can one advocate freedom of choice education for disabled kids (not that they’re not deserving) like Palin did today, while kids now and days, as well as when I was in school, cant or couldn’t choose what schools we wanted to go to????? I’ll tell you why. Education systems (from elementary to college) are designed and priced to keep certain classes of people OUT!!!!! For instance if I want to be close to downtown St. Louis attractions but don’t like the inner city school system, why cant I send my kid to a district in West County????? They did however temporarily allow this with the deseg program. However I don’t think the program is still in effect today and kids like me who stayed close to the city but still in the “suburbs” (Jennings) had to suffer with lack luster financing and teaching from teachers 5 years or less away from retirement. You think they gave a damn about my future. NOPE!!! And neither does this hee-haw Palin or rich b**ch McCain. Obama/Biden 08′

Well the entire issue hinges on the accuracy of the “Kenyan birth” but then John McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone which could be stretched to be not on American soil as his “actual” birth was not on a military post but at a non-base hospital. The argument is moot I think. We spend far too much time in this country arguing over the letter of the law instead of it’s spirit. Thanks for the discussion and opportunity to research something interesting.

Hit the nail on the head…what is wrong with the news people? I quit buying the Post about 7 years ago, and moved to Boston last spring, where I proudly have not paid a dime to any newspaper because I dont believe anything I read in them.

I saw a bumper sticker that summed it up…”Dont confuse the News with the Truth.”
“Polls” and “scientific studies” are the same way….they make them say what they want YOU to believe, whether it is true or not.

What is it about elections that bring out the worst in us Americans? The international community doesn’t need a show like SNL to make themselves laugh. All they need to do is watch American TV news and read our papers. Let us be civil. The only thing that is going to get us through this financial mess and the two wars, working on two more with Iran and Pakistan, is unity. We need to embrace our differences in order to be a strong moral force in the world. It is our differences, not our “sameness”, that made this country the envy of the world. Lets prove to the world that when we say, “God Bless America” we really mean it. Let us prove to the world that “God Bless America” are not just words politicians use to get elected. We are losing sight that we are all God’s children whether we are Christian, Jew, Muslim, atheist, agnostic…. God loves us all the same. Obviously or He would not have sent His only Son to die for our sins.

Again, agreed on the litigation overload in this country…in this case though, just tell me both candidates are legally eligible to be president in the event that one of them gets elected!
It is like the kids who play in the little league game and are way too old, they spoil it for the ones who play by the rules.
I too enjoyed the thought provoking conversation.
Go Blues! I miss them out here in Boston, but get to go cheer the Rams on Sunday at Foxboro!

Omg, Right wingers are the most violent bunch of people I have ever seen. They scare you, they threaten you, they lie, they cheat they steal. They even pal around with many of the unthinkables (we can’t say here)… but that is OKAY.

Umm.. NOT in my book.

Palin and her family tried to make Alaska their own country, how can you say she is PRO America… when they didn’t want to be in the first place? Repbulicans are the biggist hypocrites I have ever met.

I almost voted McCain, until his latest stunt with Moose Burger. One heart beat away or one puck away… NO way no how palin is palling to be my jane six pack… when I don’t DRINK!!

This woman has put us REAL AMERICAN WORKING MOTHERS to SHAME>>> SHAME!!! She is a disgrace to every woman I know.

And sorry not everyone is a gun toting lipstick wearing DOG. She called herself that duh…

Oh, Since I am also married to a REAL Plumber with a REAL lic, that pays his taxes… he won’t vote repbulican either.. because his business is hurting because the MIDDLE CLASS PEOPLE CAN”T PAY HIM!! DUH!!! DUHH .. I know it is a very hard concept for Repbulicans to understand.

Repbulicans = Socilism and welfare for BIG BUSINESS!!!
