That would still be a passing grade of 66 percent, even if she missed Mexico. NAFTA is particularly bizarre since it impacts Alaska and, given Palin’s claim of executive experience and pro-business savvy, it should have been well known to the governor of a neighboring state. Of course, George Bush told the head of another country recently that he did not know what the G20 was. However, Palin’s problems with basic geography and other subjects could have something to do with the fact that she took six years and six school changes to earn a four-year college degree. [...]

At the time it was not yet Hawaii Pacific University.

If you wish to proclaim that the rape victim has no rights to terminate because the child is of GOD, what GOD are you talking of. And if you presume that the fetus is protected by the concept that “we all are GOD’s Children,” then you accept that the activity of the rape or incest is “in GOD’s Plan.” AND, if it is in GOD’s Plan… Why then do we presume to be superior to GOD’S Plan and Will by punishing the instrument of GOD to create this child of rape or incest! Why not just celebrate the Rapist for doing GOD’s Will!!!

While a Rapist may get 5 years to life, and as little as 18 months early release for good behavior, the Victim gets 19 years to life with no chance of parole untill 19 years are served…and a lifetime of shame thereafter!

“…oops”

“Mam, you’ve got to leave the toolbox”

I suppose.

After all, when you haven’t earned your 4 year degree by your fifth year and 5th college, it must take a lot of perserverance to go for a 6th year AND a 6th college.

And I’ll bet it really took perserverance to acheive a journalism degree when the school newspaper wouldn’t even hire you.

Thats perserverance all right.

Otherwise the word you want is ‘conceived’.

And the decision is the woman’s, under any circumstance, with the distinction being made between an actual and a potential human being.

It is what the 1973 Supreme Court Roe v Wade decision is about and what women fought for for years and it will stand – if intelligent women and men are paying attention.

It’s called ‘freedom’ of choice.

If it’s not your choice, then mind your own business.

does being raped or an incestual relationship make the baby any less of a human being. I often hear right to lifers refer to this issue when discussing rape or incest and it blows my mind. If one is for life, does it matter how the baby was consumed. Shall a life be taken because the circumstances were not consensual? There’s a double standard there. Would not someone want to adopt a child (if we right to lifers hate killing of innocent babies in the womb) though the baby was consumed from rape or incest. I await your reply.

It quotes a McCain aide anonymously regarding what a great photo op this would be.

The GOP is sadly morphing into the WWE: melodramatatized distractions punctuated by angry outbursts., with bloodsport to follow.

As desperate as a televised wedding sounds (I wouldn’t have believed it a week ago) it may be McCain’s only hope as that Couric interview is downright comical, and devastating is distributed.

Even the National Review, which the week before featured a creepy, almost fascistic cover proclaiming her “THE ONE!”, now features Kathleen Parker wisely observing that she isn’t wearing any clothes.

BTW, did you read Krugman proclaim that we’ve become a “banana republic with nukes.” Ouch, the truth hurts.

From being against abortion even in cases of rape and incest and the kicker is that the Republican platform does not even exempt the life of the mother as a reason to allow an abortion. Why do you think Dobson finally backed McCain after Palin was named the VP choice?

She said that instead she had to work.

It seems she had the money to bounce around the Continental U.S. and Hawaii sampling a variety of schools, though.

Whats scary about Palin is what I call the “underdog syndrome”. Putting her against an old seasoned pro like Joe Biden in the upcoming debates actually I’m afraid gives her the advantage. She has the benefit of low expectations on her side, as well as the natural sympathy most people feel for the underdog. People will be quick to her defense if Biden makes the mistake of appearing to bully her.

He has to be at his best. He needs to put on his Mark Twain hat, and be witty when he points to her lack of experience and obvious “inoverherheadyness”, without appearing overly smug or sarcastic. Its going to be a fine tightrope to walk.

I know I couldn’t do it. Right off the bat I’d be asking her how she liked the campus at Bullwinkle U.

Good point about the Hawaiian connection. Do we know why she moved to so many schools in such a short time? Could it be that our beloved Sarah was running from something or somone? Was the “First Dude” in the picture at any of these schools? So many questions, so little time to ask them.

Just a little research would have revealed the reason for this “around the world” approach to academic success. Obviously, Sarah Palin is the Johnny Appleseed of the Right. Depositing her own brand of warm, fuzzy, hockey Mom insight, she was in great demand by scores of institutions whose only requirement was that she be just “one of the gals.” Isn’t that what everyone wants, just an ordinary soul handing their major surgeries, legal affairs, brokerage decisions, etc. And thus why not charge her with being a heartbeat away from control of the nuclear arsenal, or decisions affecting the lives of a billion or so people. She’s fun and cute, and my what a great Mom. I also must criticise my friend’s list above. He left off her stint at Barber College, and I’m relatively sure she can draw that turtle on the back of that match book with the best of them!

And if you think’s she’s got her feces consolidated as we used to sayin the ’70′s, how about the guy that picked her for the job. Now there, my friend, is unparallled judgment.
