Well, for once Future might be sorta right.

Palin is definitely your typical republican. If by typical republican you mean the type that lectures about spending while begging Washington for more earmarks.

Yup, Palin's talking out of both sides of her mouth again.

In an article released just this year, Palin's own communications director admitted that Alaska received earmarks that were directly requested by Palin herself.

The media already exposed her "Bridge to Nowhere" lies, now they've debunked her other earmark lies as well.

She's the typical republican, lecturing about "runaway federal spending" while anxiously grabbing at Uncle Sam's checkbook.

Yup, just another strong proponent of republican values... like lying about demanding earmarks.

"Sarah Palin was a governor in Alaska, and the last time I looked, she's not running for office. The only thing I see her doing is trying to sell a book."

Except, that's not what she's doing.

Open your eyes, Dave. Her meddling in NY-23, for example. That had nothing to do with her book and everything to do with testing out her political power. Unfortunately for her, her political power is weak... practically negative.

Dave's sorta right, though. Obama was perceived as ill-prepared for the White House before he announced his candidacy. But as time went on, and more people got to know him, that opinion changed, and the majority elected him.

For Sarah Palin, the opposite happened. Less people today think she is ready than before she stepped onto the national stage. The more people have gotten to know Sarah, the less they like her, and after the brief bump in the polls when she was announced, support for the McCain/Palin ticket went into the toilet.

All good Democrats are thankful for Palin, anyway. She's fractured the republican party and began a purge of those who don't meet her rigid, misinformed ideology. She's forcing the republican party even more towards the far right, and further away from the independent voters.

Ah, another person prematurely announcing the bill dead.

LarryVegas declared it was dead months ago, now it's going to be debated on the floor of the Senate after passing the House.

I think SgtNance's defective crystal ball has been shared with the rest of the chorus of haters.

Oh, 29% of Independents think she's qualified, Larry. That's down from when she was announced as the Vice Presidential candidate.

Seems you're having a problem with the truth again.

"As time went on we learned more about him and - be honest now - most of it was not very positive."

You're right, there was a severe smear campaign launched by the republican party against Obama.

Republicans made up complete lies about Obama's background, about his faith, about so many things.

One woman even carved a B into her face and lied and said it was Obama supporters.

The crazed republican party went into overdrive smearing Obama with lies.

"ksand99 seems to have a little problem with Sarah Palin "...making the rounds, going on talk show after talk show, promoting her book...""

You must have a little problem with reading comprehension then, LarryVegas. I have no problem with her newly-acquired socialite status.

So we start talking about her, since she's on a press tour and all, and you republicans start having conniption fits and overexaggerating, saying we're obsessed with her. It seems she's really enjoying the attention, she keeps giving interviews.

If she didn't want people talking about her, she wouldn't be on a press tour. I guess you're not that familiar with how her new socialite status works.

And, actually, if you look at the polls, the Independents aren't anywhere near "supporting" her. They seem to dislike her by a wide margin. The more they get to know her, the less they like. You might want to read up on some polls, it seems you're poorly informed.

Did you see the video from one of her book signings? I guess she thought she could best serve her fans by quitting the book signing early.

Sarah Palin is a gift to the Democratic party. I wish her all the fame and fortune that being a socialite will bring.
