Have we had enough of the press going after Sarah Palin?

When mayor of some small town she accepted gifts from local businesses. A facial. Flowers. A fish. The media reports on this because they can't come up with anything real to discredit her and they are terrified of her. Didn't Hillary have a little Whitewater problem, that was worth a little more than a freaking fish? If they aren't careful, they're going to make it easy for McCain/Palin to win because every attack just makes the average person more sympathetic to her. Had enough?

I'm surprised at how vehemently people hate Palin. If that much paranoid fear was shown toward Obama it would be used to prove that racism still rules America. In this case, I'm not sure what it proves. Perhaps that too many people are caught in lock-step with the left. Careful that lock-step doesn't evolve into a goose-step!!

Yes. I assume that you are referring to the high school slander that we have come so used to reading about in our local newspapers and news stations. I thought the whispering halls of gossip that we all learned to know so well were supposed to remain in high school when one graduated. Remember those mean girls? Sounds the same.

Talking about the Clinton's. Have you ever read The Clinton Body Count? Try googling it. Also, do you remember that the Clinton's had to return hundreds of stolen items from The White House, which they began shipping out months before they left? They did choose to keep some and negotiated to buy others for over 80,000. Most were returned that the investigaters knew had been stolen. Then, there is Whitewater...and of course, who could forget in Billy's own words,
" i promise you that I never had sexual relationships with that woman."

Kind of sad that these people are out to destroy Palin, our only chance for cleaning up the corruption found in Washington. Perhaps that is why these slanderous high schoolish smear tactics have been engaged by the Democrats. Words and lies certainly destroyed the lives of those high school students. Thank God Palin is bright enough to know what is going on. Yeah, they are scared to death of her, both corrupt Democrats and Republicans alike. She is bi-partisan and will not treat anyone differently. The corruption that she found in her own state was in her own party, The Republicans. Still, she squared off, challenging it and ridding Alaska of those no good, dirty politicians. If McCain/Palin become our leaders these corrupt politicians won't be getting those huge paybacks, like Senator Obama and Senator Dodd. These two corrupt Senators lined their pockets with paybacks from Fannie May and Freddie Mac. Dodd did get 40,000 more than Obama, but the point is that these two lending institutions are part of our financial crisis. Is Obasma really helping the middle class or is he out to take all that he can get? Palin is a fresh face, a reformer and a Maverick. Palin does have a proven rack record, unlike Mr. Present. She has managed a city and a state. The results are amazing and all pro Sarah, making her the most popular Governor in the country. Palin was able to cut her country's spending by 124 million and once gave herself a pay cut. However, a few months later the people reinstated her back to what she should have taken in the first place. Best of all she is not a lawyer (liar) and is not afraid of anyone or anything. While, Mr Present, Obama, a liar lawyer, especially made by the Corrupt Chicago Political Machine,managed to steal over 890,000,000 dollars of tax payer monies for his state.

Michelle made a statement which inferred that Americans do not need much to be happy. Americans must learn to share and that everyone deserves a piece of the pie. Really, and how much of her pie is she ready to share? I won't ask her for any, as I was taught to make my own. No, to Socialism. No to Obama.

Yes, I am a member of that middle class and I know that the two candidates that are out for the middle class are McCain/Palin.

Tired of it??? Are you kidding! Every time she opens her mouth she makes a fool of herself. How about those Republicans that want her OFF the ticket?? Her own party doesn't even think she's capable - and she has proven that each she has agreed to be interviewed.

Did you watch the Katie Couric interview? If not.. you definitely should. She basically just strings together a bunch of basic political buzz words in a random order that makes no sense. Maybe people that don't know exactly what's going on or what those terms mean, won't realize that she didn't actually say a thing. SNL did a skit of the Couric/ Palin interview and it wasn't so much making fun of her as it was just an instant reply of the whole debacle!

Why are people crying that the press is going after her??? If you think she is so capable of leading this country, she should be capable of speaking the press intellegently. You want her to go up against Vladamir Puten but she can't handle Katie Couric??? Seriously people... THINK!!!!!

No. Absolutely not. The press needs to STAY after her and do so continuously. That this woman is as dumb as the lowest common denominator of WASP American women is plainly obvious.

The more this is made known, the better the press serves the interests of the nation and this election.

Don't compare her to Hillary. Palin does not even come close in preparation and intelligence.

The press is far from where they should be. They need to keep going after her. There have been way too many lies in the McCain campaign, especially on Palin's behalf.
I really do not see how any intelligent person could regard her as ready for office. I mean, have you seen her in interviews? She thinks that because she can see Russia from her house that she has foriegn policy experience! "As Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where do they go? It's Alaska." So because the Russian Prime Minister flies over her state she has foriegn policy experience? What is the world come to? Seriously, I cannot see how this woman thinks. I disagree with you 100%. There are so many other things that the press has found out about her, so stop complaining. Read the rolling stone article (below). McCain was going after Obama for not wearing a little American flag pin! What importance does that have at all? None. He just couldn't find anything else wrong with Obama's campain. Sarah Palin is not qualified to be vp, let alone President! McCain is highly likely to die soon. He is very old, there is no denying that. Sarah Palin would not be able to keep the country together. She is very proud that she is a "hockey mom". I think she should just stick to that.
