I have taken on the Republican Party establishment,
I have many children,
I have a spot on the national ticket as Vice President with two years in the governor's office.
Have you ever heard of me before now?

I am Teddy Roosevelt.

Interesting.

Interesting?

What is interesting? that you compare Palin to Teddy Roosevelt?

That's about as relevant as you would say that Palin and Hillary are the same because they are women.

and by the way, Palin is no reformer. She, like her Running mate is more of the same.

more earmarks

more of "the decider" personality

more of the religious right

I just find it interesting one of the best Presidents of this nation actually had very little experience when running for the Vice Presidency. That's all. Gov. Palin is not my cup of tea either.

I guess this is a very good retort to those that want to say her executive experience is not good enough.

was a progressive president - unlike the republicans of late. almost total polar opposite in philosophy.

How fascinating.

How fascinating a connection to make. Let's see if Palin lives up to that.

Did you call the library when you were mayor to inquire if they would ban books per your request? Did you support a woman's right to choose? Did you fight against polar bears being an endangered species? Did you hire a lobbyist that worked as a staffer for an indicted politician to obtain all the earmarks you could? Did you campaign for the bridge to nowhere and now lie that you were always against it? Are you running on a ticket for as VP with a 72 year man that has had cancer 5 times and you have absolutely no foreign policy experience? Do you want Creationism replacing science in schools? Do you gas can be 'fixed' by your church?

Palin is no teddy Roosevelt.

Gee, you know before someone posts something like this, "typo..."do you think gays can be 'fixed' by your church?" ", maybe someone should check out Donnie McClurkin and his point of view. After all, he was on the campaign trail in the primary, or have people forgotten those things?

Many of your "facts" are wrong. Go to www.factcheck.com before you smear the Vice Presidental Candidate.

Hi Lincoln
We would all like to have those questions asked to her-----according to factcheck----yes, she did every one of those things----but, since she has continued to lie with every single speech she gives, even after her words have been proven lies, spin, half truths,---I doubt that even if asked directly she would tell the truth---
it is just not the republican way.

What a shame that sites like factcheck and snopes had to be set up for this----but thank gosh we have them.

To HS
I guess you read differently than I because Factcheck disputes Lincolns claims. (Don't worry - we all know that if Lincoln says "jump" you willl ask her "how high" and cheer)

ROFLMAO

if you repugs think Palin's bio matches up with Teddy's, I want what your smokin.

Teddy... Harvard grad, Rough Rider, US Civil Service Commission, Asst Secy of Navy, Guv of NY (when it was the largest state in the union)

Sarah, PTA, City Council, Mayor, Guv of Alaska

ROFLMAO...and she's a trustbuster, progressive too!

Do you want to buy a bridge, mel?

Re: ROFLMAO

By Susan B. Anthony Sep 10th 2008 at 9:56 pm EDT (Updated Sep 10th 2008 at 9:56 pm EDT)

Isn't Alaska the largest state in the now?

Re: ROFLMAO

By Obama/Biden4highserenity Sep 10th 2008 at 9:59 pm EDT (Updated Sep 10th 2008 at 9:59 pm EDT)

Alaska has less people than Los Angeles and many other American CITIES LOL
and Alaska is the WEALTHIEST STATE in the UNION---

Palin has gotten more earmarks$ for her citizens (per capita), than any other state in the Union and she hired a LOBBIEST to help her get those.

THE EARMARK QUEEN LOL

Re: ROFLMAO

By Susan B. Anthony Sep 10th 2008 at 10:14 pm EDT (Updated Sep 10th 2008 at 10:14 pm EDT)

So, the answer is yes, Alaska is the largest state. The fact that it happens to be the wealthiest state in the union is only a good point for her, since she was elected to be their governor.
