Democrats look for flaws in Sarah Palin
Philippines News.Net Tuesday 2nd September, 2008
Democratic researchers are frantically trying to find evidence to expose Alaska Governor Sarah Palin's inexperience in American politics.
According to The Times, the Democrats will seek to portray Palin as too inexperienced a candidate to be just a "heart beat away" from the presidency.
They are trying to ascertain if Palin's foreign travel was limited to just one trip to Germany and Kuwait last year.
Tom Daschle, the former Democratic Senate leader and a senior aide to Obama, said: "With absolutely no experience, are we ready, if necessary, to place our future in her hands as commander in chief and our premier negotiator with other world leaders?"
Daschle has also questioned Palin's skepticism about global warming.
Then there is also the fact that she might have abused her office when she fired the Alaskan public safety commissioner, Walter Monegan over his refusal to sack Palin's brother-in-law, a state trooper previously involved in an ugly divorce with Palin's sister.
Those allegations are now the subject of an Alaskan ethics investigation, the results of which will be published on October 31st; five days before the general election.
Palin also recently told an interviewer that she did not fully understand the role of a vice-president.
Meanwhile, Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama has reportedly told his staff and some members of his party to refrain from targeting 17-year-old Bristol Palin, the daughter of Republican vice-presidential contender Sarah Palin, on her reported pregnancy.
He has been telling reporters' families, and especially children, that the subject is off limits in this presidential campaign.
Obama also noted that his own mother was 18 when she gave birth to him.
"People's families are off limits. People's children are especially off limits. This shouldn't be part of our politics. It has no relevance to Goveror Palin's performance as a governor or her potential performance as a vice president. I would strongly urge people to back off these kinds of stories. That shouldn't be a topic in our politics," the Washington Times quoted Obama, as saying.
"We don't go after people's families. Our people are not involved in any way," he said.

who you callin uneducated????????
Bashing Palin, kinda sad. First of all, underhanded, and a liar.... Where do you get your news. She’s done more as a govenor in 19 months than oboma’s done in his entire life. So the republican VP running mate is more expirienced than the democrat President front runner. She stick to her issues and isn’t affraid of sticking it to Polititions who are Wrong and corrupt. Kudo’s to her. Clicky.... your the naive one, and kinda sad. calling he a sl**t, very grown up. Calling her kids sl**ts, nice, you sound like a very sick, and un educated individual. Thats a very sound argument against Palin.... not. I think people will wake up and see that Mcain will not only bring what we americans need, but people will wake up and see that Obamas scripted speaches, and Hillary clintons fake support, and his lack of expirience will only lead to disaster.
with your spelling, You should really consider NOT calling anyone else “uneducated” in a public forum....

ignorance abroad
Palin is nothing more than a rookie being used as a poster child.......Obama has held an elected office for 12+ years .... more than Reagan, Clinton, and the entire Bush crime syndicate when they were elected. You conservative boneheads better hope the republicans don’t get it again 'cause we will be in BIG trouble if they do. Educate yourselves....

you're blind if you don't think Palin is a liar
Please...the jet wasn’t sold on E-Bay, it was sold at a loss, privately. She supported the bridge to nowhere until congress said Alaska would have to pony up more money than she expected. She attended 6 universities in 6 years to get her B.S in journalism. I can keep going if you’d like. Furthermore, I don’t think going to war is Gods will, as Palin stated at a commencement earlier this year. She doesn’t believe in Global Warming, and has a TERRIBLE environmental policy in general!! Lets see what happens next week, I smell an “Eagleton” situation brewing!!!! ALSO, to the MORON who still thinks Obama is an elitist, remember McCain couldn’t remember how many houses he owned!! LOL

Palin is 10 times the leader Clinton is and 100 times more experienced that pretty boy Obama.....What really grinds the liberals is that she is not an elitist.

Your an idiot you would hand this country of to a half dead idiot (McCain) and a whore prom queen (Palin) this country no longer deserves the respect it once enjoyed because it produces idiots like you, Reagan would not approve of Palin hands down.

Based on what information?

I see a concerted smear campaign against what is the nail in the DNC coffin.
Obama is a kook, and the book Obamanation is causing him to spend precious capitol refuting what little he can refute.
He has flipped on his stance about Iran and he has rattled the Sabre at Pakistan.
Biden is a mess, the DNC has the lowest approval rating in history of any majority Congress ever and the Skeletons are coming out of the closet for Obama very soon.
Even with a hugely unpopular President in Bush only McCain can lose this election all he needs to do is show he is different then Bush and his nomination of what appears to be a real Conservative might just be the trick.
In fact I wish he was the VP and she the front runner on the ticket.
Smart attractive, Stands by her convictions, blue collar, anti-Corruption, not a good ol Boy everything Obama wishes he really was!
Nice try political hack you failed.

Dirty politics
Yes, dirty politics is on the menu of the day, it seems that when someone is selected for an important job, there will always be critics that will have to tear that person down.
These professional critics, study the person, and the habitat where he or she lives, their family life, their cultural heritage, their associates, and these critics will always look for a needle in the haystack, at times spending millions for this type of research to come up with some negative evidence to destroy the credibility of such a person.
I say: Who is perfect?
I believe this is very ridiculous, because it is very impossible to find a perfect person that has all the immaginary qualities that these idiotic critics are always looking for.
But I do suggest that before they start to judge others for their perfection, that they go and look into their back yard, and see what is growing.
To be realistic, no one is perfect, and we are all humans, and each of us have our positive and negative points, but it is of the most importance, that we are truthful with each other, and respect other people’s rights as we would have others respect ours, then come to think about it, no one is really qualified to be president, but a person that is elected and chosen to become president, will face his challenges as they arise, but it is important that he or she uses wisdom in decision making, and I believe this is the only experience that is needed to become president, and all of the other is plain bullshit.
