A real double-standard with Republicans on Palin! It was okay to go after Hillary (I'm not a fan) but the same folks cried foul when the Democrats go after Palin for many of the same issues. It's politics, it's dirty business to start with and if Palin can't take the heat, she should not have...

I have only voted for one or two Republicans in my life... needless-to-say, I am a Yellow Dog Democrat! Having said that, I do not think picking McCain was a terrible move in this election cycle for the GOP. They can't run on the president's coattails and win anything this year. They must have...

No! You don't understand how fundraiser works. The opposition receives money when the other side makes them angry by saying things they don't like.

Obama raises $10 million after Palin speech - The conventions - MSNBC.com Obama raises millions of dollars in on-line donations after Palin's speech. Democrats are very happy with McCain's pick! She speaks to the conservative base but turns off the other 44 to 45% of Americans! This fight...

I stand corrected... PitBull! That's even worse! lol I grew up in Dallas and will always be a COWBOYS FAN!

If you are a conservative you will love Sarah Palin... if you are not, you will not like her much! It's just that simple. She called herself a "bulldog with lipstick" I think she can handle the media attacks... if she wants to be VP, she will have to develop "Thick skin!"

I believe it comes down to your political philosophy more than anything. If you liked George W. Bush you will love John McCain. Even though he used to be a moderate, he has switched many of his positions to run for president and I believe he will do more of the same things Bush did.... Gov...

I would have no problem with that but the Democratic Party has decided he is their man and I believe it is time to make a change in America. As an "old white guy" I think it is time for a minority candidate to run the country. We have been in charge for a very long time and I believe he...

I can say the same thing about Palin that many Republicans are saying about Obama: 1. She is unknown... needs to be vetted... We don't know enough about her 2. She doesn't have enough experience in Washington or with foreign affairs to be president. 3. She makes a good speech but talk is...

I've got to go back to work... talk to yall later.

I teach history and did my thesis work on the 20th Century. Dow Chemical Company was responsible for creating two types of chemical weapons that were sold to Germany prior to the start of WWI. We created all of the WMD industry and reportedly have the worst "bugs" viral weapons in the world.

As a student of international politics back in the 70's, I understood the Cold War Era... granted, this is something new. However, this administration has turned friends into enemies because we were so arrogant as to believe we were justified in doing whatever we wanted in the name of fighting...

No... that's what sovereignty is all about. We can request the help of those nations but we can't invade or attack any nation we chose. If you're right, why haven't we invaded Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Yemen, or the Arab Emirates?

I blame Bush for going to war based on outright lies or faulty INTEL. We should have pursued Osama and left Iraq alone because they had nothing to do with Al Qaeda. The 911 Commission and later the Bush administration admitted as much... When Bush did go in... he went in with too few troops...

That applied to Communism and the spread of Communism. Vietnam was a huge mistake. We now know that but at the time we were afraid of the big red bear! The War on Terror is real in the sense that we do have criminals who want to do us harm but it does not rise to the level of the Cold War...
