According to Palin Logic, I have more qualifications to be the VP than Palin! Sadly and unfortunately, I was in close proximity, live in NYC, and witnessed The World Trade Center Disaster. Everyday I am watching for suspicious activity and sometimes am dealing with post traumatic stress from 9/11! Save the world and vote OBAMA/BIDEN! Also, this bail out plan is a FARCE and SHOULD NOT PASS! It will NOT help the American people and it is a disgrace. Give the money directly to the people! I just read part of the document - it is almost 120 pages - and it is a SHAM! Read it yourself here: http://i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2008/images/09/28/ayo08c04_xml.pdf I just realized something.

Because that's what a moose is, a cow. No courage or skill involved in shooting a moose or a cow. btw – a person who shoots a moose has the courage of a person who shoots a cow.

Governor Palin can't be expected to answer the difficult questions. She's a special candidate. Won't talk to unfriendly media outlets. Can't take reporters unscripted queries. No off-the-cuff or on the spot. No So Sarah! We can't assume that as a future world leader she should know foreign policy facts or world economy figures. No So likely! When her prepared statements are proven to be fiction, she is excused from the truth. Special! And the lemurs keep on cheering,insisting she is a viable candidate and that can hold her own with terrorists and potentates. But yesterday, when the McCain camp insisted on revamping the rules of the Vice Presidential debate to make reasonable accommodations for his running mate's inexperience in debating, we reached the pinnacle of preposterousness. Not even the simple community activist asked for divine debate intervention to shelter him from the 30 year politician and war hero! Sarah Palin has become the all bark no bite pit bull, that will never be let of her leash in public. How much longer will Americans fall for this shell game? Reasonable debate accommodations? Palin is not a differently-abeled candidate requiring a wheelchair ramp or a companion dog to get to the podium. This is not a political leader, recovering from a serious health malady, needing time to heal before returning to the full demands of office. This is not a child, needing protection from media predators or the probing paparazzi. Hell No! These unreasonable accommodations are being demanded and abused by the woman that could be President in a mere four months. I don't care about the bridge, or the plane, or the raise. I don't want to hear another word about mavericks and reformers. Screw the good old boys ntework! Shoot the NRA. I want to hear about the USA! No more gobbledygook about energy production and commanding the Alaskan National Guard from Ms. Palin! I want her to explain the tribal differences in Iraq. I want her to define our responsibility to the global community. I want her to discuss Kazakhstan. Health care. Immigration. AIDS. Torture. Unemployment. Terry Schiavo. Speak on women's rights without mentioning that she played point guard in high school. I want her to release her college transcripts. Her tax filings. Her health records. John McCain can continue to hide her intellectual inadequacies behind a teleprompter until election day, but screaming debate foul, because she cannot stand up to the scrutiny that every other candidate has, is cowardly and condescending to the voters. When did we decide that inexperience and ignorance is a protected disability? Sarah, put up or shut up! If you can hunt and kill and dress a wild moose, then have the guts to stand in front of a loaded camera and take it like a man!

Having been up to Anchorage many times from back here in PA, I know exactly where the rally was held, so I was there in spirit with you yesterday! Go, Alaska!

Palin? Besides the investigation, it appears to me that this Gov. has encouraged her staff to break the law by directly or indirectly through the attorney general to by refusing to testify. We recently lost the Gov. of NY for having sex with a prostitute. She has lied to and obstructed an investigation that clearly needs to be done before she can run for VP. Why are WE THE PEOPLE allowing this? WHy isn’t impeachment on the table for Gov. Palin?
