3. Yes, but SHE'S NOT THE NOMINEE...
She needs to have her celebrity punctured, but we can go after Palin all we want, and even manage to knock her down...and still lose to McCain if we let ourselves get so obsessed with Half-Baked Alaska that we forget McCainiac is the one we have to convince the voters is a gamble they can't afford to take.

9. A punk not worthy of the attention. What is your purpose?
We were doing good until you started bashing Palin.

WTF is with you people?

5. The Obama campaign has been waiting for the media to their job
They haven't and they won't. Now that Sarah Palin is good for their ratings, they definitely won't.

Face it, the campaign's initial reaction was a miscalculation. Obama/Biden haven't said a single word about her extreme views on abortion, science, censorship, climate change, and religion, and what they say about the Republican Party, which is going ga-ga over her, and the direction that McLoon would take the country. They have stuck with the economy, which is a rational response if you're in a thinking person's environment, but we're not.

I'd like to know what their plan is; sit and wait for Charlie Gibson to save them? That's not going to work.

10. agreed
there are ten million scandals in this woman's closet. She is UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR ABUSE OF POWER, and the media barely bats an eye. There is NO excuse for this woman being on the ticket, much less being elected VP.

If we go easy on her for fear of "sexism" then women will have no rights left as they are one Scalia clone away from ending Roe v. Wade. And I won't even GO into the other 5-4 decisions that would be overturned. Let's just say our country would be unrecognizable.

Define her NOW!

11. absurd
More so than Bush and Cheney in the last election?

The public tuned out anything we had to say about Bush - if Palin has ten million scandals in her closet, then the number we had on Bush must be astronomical - for two reasons: our leaders are weak and will not fight, and what we had to say sounded like irrational hatred toward the man rather than a political program.

Now you ask us to repeat those same mistakes - demand that we do.

Our hatred for Palin will never be a compelling or persuasive reason for the average person to vote Democratic. Besides, we can't possibly surpass the hate fest we had going against Bush and Cheney last time. We hate, they win (or steal, what's the difference, our leaders don't care.)

The solution is to have our leaders, our representatives, fight for us. That is the only reason we support them, isn't it? Or do we just like them? We need to demand that of them - we have a duty to demand that of them. But we won't do that, and we get angry at anyone who suggests we do that and call them "disloyal."
