Dobson Commends Palins For 'Living Out Pro-Life Values'

James, James, James…We in the pro-choice world, tell our children to wait, but if they ever have sex, they must use a condom. You see James, we prefer the quiet, boring life of avoided pregnancy and std. We don't want the excitement and roller coaster ride of the “Abstinence Only” lifestyle.
In the words of Bill Clinton, notorious sex fiend…..”Thanks, but no thanks”

Confirmed by ABC News that Palin was a member of secessionist group.

Tell that to the people who elected her; obviously they thought she was qualified.
Some people-as I said earlier-would've hated any conservative woman being put on the ticket, as their belief system (whatever it may be) wouldn't have made them feel all warm and fuzzy inside. The discussion would still be the same as the one we're having now: liberals would be all up in arms about who had whose baby and who's pregnant now.
Now, I'll admit that I'm not following the McCain campaign as closely as I once was (for multiple reasons), but I haven't seen/heard/read anything to suggest that he was bullied into picking Palin by anyone. It seems like he made the decision on his own; that he feels that she's qualified. People will agree or disagree based on the issues as presented to them. And if they don't feel she is, then they won't vote for McCain.
If all the case against Sarah Palin consists of is her lack of experience, so be it (though I'm not sure that's the best argument to make, all things considered). But from where I sit, the hatred (call it what it is) seems to be more often than not based in ideology that on quality/qualifications.

I feel you guys have reached a turning point in your elections. Even Republican bloggers are finally admitting that Obama is not an “empty suit”. I've seen a couple people admit that he's earned his place through hard work. So, I guess the Palin pick has it's upside.
Barack is out of the news, it gives his team some breathing room, 'cause even though he sometimes gets more coverage, it's typically negative.

James Carville is on Larry King using Props!!!!
OMG, he's showing a picture of the building in Wasilla that Sara worked out of(not sure, didn't catch that part) He said it looked like a bakery or something like that. Then the Repub spokeswoman said she thought that was offensive to women. Carville says he doesn't know how to tell her this, but he supported a woman for President.
Sigh, now they're taking up Hillary's stance.

Biden: Difference Between Me And Palin — “She's Good-Looking”
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/08/31…
“There’s a gigantic difference between John McCain and Barack Obama and between me and I suspect my vice presidential opponent,” Biden said at an outdoor rally Sunday, getting ready to hit the GOP ticket for their economic policies.
“She’s good-looking,” he quipped.
“You are gorgeous!” a female supporter in the audience shouted out. Biden asked her to repeat it into the microphone so his wife at home would hear.

USAToday/Gallup poll
By UrbanAsh – September 1, 2008, 10:16PM
In the head-to-head race between the candidates, Obama now leads McCain by 50% to 43%. Last week, the Gallup poll had them tied at 44% to 43%.
On personal characteristics, Obama eliminated McCain’s advantage as “strong and decisive leader”, with a slight majority who now say this characteristic applies more to Obama: 46% to 44%. Before the convention, McCain held an 8-point advantage.
Obama now has a 13-point advantage with voters who see him as “someone who shares your values” over McCain. Before the convention, only a 6-point advantage.
Obama is also viewed as the more trustworthy of the two, with an 8-point advantage over McCain. Before the convention, the two were tied.
He has also eliminated McCain’s advantage on “handling Iraq”, with 47% now preferring Obama, and 46% McCain. Before the convention, McCain had a 9-point advantage.

Hey Rikyrah – can you embed the YouTube link that shows Morning Joe's response on Friday morning when Sarah Palin name was tossed up as the potential VP pick?
All the Repubs now have their new talking points and he is now equating Palin as having more experience than Obama when he clearly said the opposite. Hoping more blogs will post this YouTube momemt on their sites. I think this is the BEST ad for Democrats to use.
