  Your chasing your tail Moonsoonman.

• maireadinmelb | Dec 05, 2010, 02:16 AM EST

  Thanks Sean yes I have visited 10 US states. Had a wonderful time and saw first hand the operation of the US government, and some of the state legislature and even some local community meetings. Saw first hand some of the most staggering differences between the haves and the have nots! How much of Australia have Baloney and MMan seen before they cast their dispertions! ANd back to the point, Palin as president would be taken as seriously as Mugabe is, all huff, puff and rascist!!

• seanomelbourne | Dec 04, 2010, 05:28 PM EST

  Keep up the good work Mairead you've got them by the short and curlies. They have no facts only insults and innuendo.

• Monsoonman | Dec 04, 2010, 01:00 AM EST

  OK Lad you are 2 peas in the pod. You should take her here when you come for your golf outing.

• seanomelbourne | Dec 03, 2010, 09:40 PM EST

  My wife passed away some years ago Mman,neither is she my sister as I have stated before. I must admit I like the way she thinks.

• seanomelbourne | Dec 02, 2010, 07:31 PM EST

  Have you been to the States mairead? I have and have some 1st.hand knowledge,Bet Baloney has not been to Rooland has no 1st hand knowledge of the best economy in the world or it's people(Australia).

• seanomelbourne | Dec 02, 2010, 05:45 PM EST

  Be careful Baloney I do have a twin sister. Aussie tea party with a membership two. When did your family desert and spawn a racist like you.

• Monsoonman | Dec 02, 2010, 11:36 AM EST

  Put obamas teleprompter in front of a proficient elementary school pupil and the student will appear expert on all subjects. It reminds me of the trained concert pianist who happened to be a chicken. He would sit in his little glass booth until someone came along and dropped a dime into the slot. Immediately the chicken would get up and punch out a tune on the piano, when he did it correctly, a small cup of grain would drop down and he would get rewarded....Sorrowfully, that same chicken, escaped from his glass booth when it was bumped, ran into the street and was run over by an 18 wheeler. Nobody taught him about trucks. The replacement pianist was killed by some cruel children who brought rolls of dimes and fed the slot until the fowl died from a stiff neck and overeating.

• maireadinmelb | Dec 02, 2010, 04:29 AM EST

  Ok, I am not an athiest, happy!! I send my kids to a Catholic school I agree with social justice and equality of all people regardless of sex race or religion!! Happy!! And again the personal is only because you have no relevant argument!! BTW USA spying on the UN is a bit more important that Obama;s elementary school reports!!! Still I find that you have no come back to the point at hand Palin does not have a firm grasp of american history, geography or the english language let alone knowledge of US allies!!

• maloney | Dec 01, 2010, 08:46 PM EST

  monsoon, the next thing you know seano will be telling us the little he/she soldier traitor that gave the documents to Wikileaks, is an America Heroe & deserves the Congressional Metal of Honor. If seano actually believes this swill he is preaching, I'm surprised he's got the brain juice to breathe. I have always been impressed by people who know more about a place they've never been than the people who were there.

• seanomelbourne | Dec 01, 2010, 07:04 PM EST

  No Mman Mairead is not my wife,sister or offspring. We must remember that Rev.Wright is a patriot an ex marine who put his life on the line. Maybe you should ask your neo-fascist Fox friends Hannity and co. to replay the full article on Wrights "God-dam America" expose instead of reducing it to a 30 second sound bite (as the liar Hannity is adept at) you may be surprised at the result.But it was never about Wright it was just a dishonest attempt to discredit Obama and it failed miserably.

• Monsoonman | Dec 01, 2010, 11:23 AM EST

  So Amerikkka is not an attribution to the "reverend" wright? I was born in the marine corps(corpse per obama), Lad and I will let you in on a little secret, there are a holes in that line of the service too. I'll give you an assignment why don't you give us a rundown on just what black liberation theology is and in what socialist countries it is practiced in, then get back to us. Bill Ayers & Bernadine Dorn are cowardly murderers plain and simple Lad, their bombs were responsible for the slaughter of American citizens. Putting him in charge of curriculum and textbook revisionism in Chicago and filling little inner city mush heads with socialist disinformation does not make him a hero.

• seanomelbourne | Nov 30, 2010, 10:50 PM EST

  Mairead is not my sister or wife. when you speak of the Rev. Wright please add that he is an ex marine an American patriot. He has been misquoted by liars like Hannity and Co. Wright's "Goddamn America" sentence was lifted from a sermon to discredit Obama through Wright.Ask your Neofascist mates at uberfox to air the full sermon. Monsoonman give us a an honest appraisal of Bill Ayers over the last 20yrs. and his work in the Illinois education system.

• Monsoonman | Nov 30, 2010, 06:37 PM EST

  It makes sense Maloney, have you noticed they're never seen together at the same time and same place? The biblical reference was for illustrative purposes only, I wonder if "Mairead" is an atheist also?

• maloney | Nov 30, 2010, 01:22 PM EST

  I think mairead is seano's female alter ego, two for the price of one. Remember monsoon, seano doesn't do biblical.

• Monsoonman | Nov 30, 2010, 11:12 AM EST

  I think the non answer is the answer. I have no problem with mine: Male hetero, likes walks on the beach and golfs frequently.

• maireadinmelb | Nov 30, 2010, 04:07 AM EST

  Why do I need to give my personal details,what are yours??? The point of the discussion is Ms Palin not understanding american history let alone politics or international geography.

• Monsoonman | Nov 29, 2010, 10:53 PM EST

  Mairead. didn't intend it to be an insult to think you were kin/wedded to the Lad, Sean....But you still haven't answered the question, are you and the lad mates? (in the biblical way)

• maloney | Nov 29, 2010, 07:11 PM EST

  Kudos to Palin for having the courage to call obama out on hijacking the Democrat Party & telling the country what a slimeball obama really is. Exposing the marxist, socialist, muslim loving Potus & the pretend Democrats for what they are. The only backers of obama are the ones with swelling bank accounts, voters who will not admit they were wrong, Soros & his fellow socialists who want to see America fail. Palin is a true American heroe.

• maireadinmelb | Nov 29, 2010, 04:30 PM EST

  Monsoonman, your getting ridiculous, surely you are aware that Mairead is an Irish name!! and I reside in Melbourne!! Again get over yourselves and concentrate on the argument at hand, oh but you have no argument, so you need to resort to insults!! THe discussion is about the unfounded allegations of one Ms Palin, funnily enough I note that Maloney just wants to charge him, with what Maloney, being a member of the democratic party??

• Monsoonman | Nov 29, 2010, 11:35 AM EST

  Mariedinmelb: I am assuming that is short for married in melbourne?...I see you and your brother and/or husband sean, seem to hold the exact views on things. Do you have another close fambly member who can give us a different point of view? Perhaps one of your kin, somehow made it through the gene pool maze and became a Tea Party member. If so let them come use your computer and talk to us. Thanks in advance.

• maloney | Nov 29, 2010, 09:16 AM EST

  What obama has done as an adult should get him the death penalty plain & simple. I think charges will come down the not to distant road. If he gets a chance to run, 3 guesses where he will go. You think you hate Palin now, you ain't seen nothin yet. Does anything actually ever happen in rooland? You will find that the majority of America thinks just like monsoon & myself. About 20 percent are idiots like you know who.

• maireadinmelb | Nov 29, 2010, 05:07 AM EST

  Being that Maloney and Monsoonman have similar views, maybe your lovers?? Or just brothers?? What does it matter stick to the dicussion, Palin is the perfect illustration of the lack of integrity and intelligence in the modern world. The dumbing down of news and the urge to sell a story not fact. What Obama did as a child is irrelevant, it is what he has done as a adult that is important. IT is the choices he has made, and I dont think he lied as a basis to wage war and invade a foreign country!!

• maloney | Nov 28, 2010, 01:32 PM EST

  The Bush haters would have voted for anyone, no matter the reasons not to. The love affair is over. Buyers remorse. His approval rating drops weekly. Palin could care less where Rooland is, seano's twin sister. Socialists are to stupid to accept the truth. If rooland is so great, why do you now have a Tea Party? England has a Tea Party now. They are smart enough to listen to the real Americans, unlike the poor Irish. The same Irish who desert their country every time the wind blows.

• Monsoonman | Nov 28, 2010, 01:29 PM EST

  Maireadinmelb: You missed every point I gently laid out for you, is it willfull blindness, or? How about all of little soteros school records from kindergarten through his graduation from the university? Not so much for what his grades were, but for far more interesting information. Since he is not your president I suppose you can turn a blind eye. I want to know WHY his school records are sealed, what is he hiding with the help of his teams of lawyers? If it was Bush with this much hidden away, you and your ilk would be screaming like banshees, but all we hear from you are purrs of ignorant contentment.

• maireadinmelb | Nov 28, 2010, 04:36 AM EST

  Surely you can think of better insult there Maloney??

• maireadinmelb | Nov 28, 2010, 04:34 AM EST

  PS does Palin know where Australia is??? Being that she can't see it from her porch, I doubt it??

• maireadinmelb | Nov 28, 2010, 04:33 AM EST

  We have all survived your diatribes here Monsoonman, and I can tell you it has not effected me!!! LOL You listed his perceived faults, what more do you need to know!! He graduated law from Harvard and was editor of the law journal what do you think his high school records will show?? And if all that was true he would not have been elected in the first place it is gossip Not everything said in the BILL OREILLY show or on fox is true...... Wasn't Bush convicted of drunk driving and he got to be president?

• Monsoonman | Nov 27, 2010, 07:42 PM EST

  Anerica should question how anyone could sit in an America hating church for 20 years and NOT be affected by it. Listen to the rants obamas pastor of 20 years spewed to his congregation. Then get back to me.

• maloney | Nov 27, 2010, 07:18 PM EST

  You Aussies would be comical if you weren't so pathetic.

• Monsoonman | Nov 27, 2010, 04:13 PM EST

  Maireadinmelb? Are you Seano's wife-sister by any chance?...So you say obama was "scrutinized" by the press? Pray tell, where was woodward and bernstein sniffing into obamas sealed school records? His exact duties during his employment & association with the voter fraud organization ACORN? His close association with convicted felon tony Rezko? The in depth probing of his 20 year membership in the black liberation church, pastored by obamas racist/american hating mentor jeremiah wright? His close association with the terrorist bomber bill ayers?...Didn't think so and you have absolutely NO rebuttal for these and many other issues that should have been thoroughly investigated and should have disqualified this person from even getting close to the office of president.

• maryosullivan | Nov 27, 2010, 12:27 AM EST

  Remember Palin left Univ.of Hawaii because there were too many Hawaiian attending. Perhaps ,thats her problem with Obama she does not like Hawaiians PS; Does anyone think for one minute that dimwitted woman actually wrote a book?

• maireadinmelb | Nov 26, 2010, 11:59 PM EST

  Are you serious? running in a presidential campaign Obama was scrutinised by the media, they found that he was educated, intelligent, and had an awareness of international affairs!! Whilst Sarah has already tried to use her authority as governor to get revenge on her ex brother in law, shown her stupidity and her lack of international knowledge with more power to Sarah the world is in big trouble!!

• Monsoonman | Nov 26, 2010, 06:22 PM EST

  Yes it also happened when Ross Perot ran and gave us hill-billy clinton. I am sure that if obama received the same scrutiny from the press that Sarah Palin received, he never would have even gotten the nomination from the democrat party. Sarah Palin is a known entity to the American people, there are no manchurian candidate roots in her past, no muslim roots, jeremiah wrights, funding by shadowy sources, associations with criminals and murderers(bill ayers & bernadine dorn)

• seanomelbourne | Nov 26, 2010, 05:48 PM EST

  Palin should spend more time reading international affairs unfortunately she hasn't moved on from "white fang" or Robert Service's "Dangerous Dan McGrew" maybe she should recite his "Angel and the Lady" and Palin is not the angel or the lady.She wants to return the country "old fashion values".I find it strange that the far right in many countries use this mantra (including Hitler).

• DennisQ | Nov 26, 2010, 03:08 PM EST

  You've reached a new level of self-indulgence if you think Romney's going to win the presidency in '12. That's not going to happen.
  
  Now here's a fun scenario, Monsoonman. Miffed at being denied the nomination, Sarah Palin decides to run anyhow. This will be a repeat of the 1912 election which saw Teddy Roosevelt break away from the Republicans to run as a third party candidate. He and Taft split the Republican vote that year, and Woodrow Wilson was elected.

• Monsoonman | Nov 26, 2010, 12:18 PM EST

  Oh Dennis? " The problem is the same - the light's on but there's nobody home."...Would that be the same as someone unplugging obamas teleprompter?

• DennisQ | Nov 26, 2010, 05:39 AM EST

  Sarah Palin is already running out of material - a critical problem for a political figure who doesn't hold office. As the new Congress deliberates on real issues, entertainer Palin becomes increasingly irrelevant.
  
  Tough times are ahead, especially for people who contribute nothing to our understanding of our problems nor develops useful ways to address them.
  
  Ronald Reagan exploited the notion that all we needed was some old-fashioned American sincerity. This idea resulted in predictably bad outcomes because it's rooted in fantasy, not in reality. If the new Congress turns to Sarah Palin for ideas, she'll paint useless word pictures of Mama Grizzlies, the American spirit, and The Way Things Used To Be. She won't give them anything that they can actually use.
  
  Sarah Palin's going nowhere. Romney has a better chance of getting the presidential nomination; but he has practically no chance either. The problem is the same - the light's on but there's nobody home.

• seagreen | Nov 25, 2010, 07:51 PM EST

  You seem to censor most of what I write, but as far as North Korea and the reactionaries go, just a point of interest that there are 400,000 white Russians that live within the same distance to North Korea as Hartford, Conn. is to New York City. Do you think that the Russians might be the ones that ought to be concerned every time these guys shoot off a fire cracker. If North Korea messes with the Russians, there will be no sanctions, or reprimands. The Russians will be sure that North Korea disappears overnight

• seanomelbourne | Nov 25, 2010, 05:54 PM EST

  Palin goofed on an interview with anti Semite Beck. "our North Korean allies" she said,well she cannot see the DPRK from her porch. Barbara Bush is correct she should stay in Alaska.Please do not ask the termagant Palin what DPRK means she's embarrassed enough already

• Pittsburghkid | Nov 25, 2010, 11:59 AM EST

  Sorry but she's right. The "New Black Panther Party" a militian black men organization put black men in front of polling places during the 2008 election. These black men tried to intimidate white voters. The Justice Department went to court and the "New Black Panther Party" members were found guilty. Obama's Justice Department failed to follow up on the charges, and dropped the case. Holder state that Voter intimadation against whites is not under the voter's right act. The voter's right act only protects blacks. God Bless Sarah.

• fishdocjerry | Nov 25, 2010, 11:17 AM EST

  Palin needs to be more occupied with the Russians seeing as she can see them from her backyard--what an expert she is on foreign policy. You need to wear boots when listening to her bull---t.

• maireadinmelb | Nov 25, 2010, 03:59 AM EST

  Sarah Palin and her North Korean Allies running america next......

• njirish | Nov 24, 2010, 10:23 PM EST

• seanomelbourne | Nov 24, 2010, 05:45 PM EST

  The queen of the Vulgarian tea party has made ignorance popular and common sense embarrassing.

• seanomelbourne | Nov 24, 2010, 05:08 PM EST

  Sarah Vulgaria leader of the vulgarian tea party has without doubt made ignorance and mean spiritness popular.But then she's in good company Limbaugh,Hannity,Ingraham and the rest of the Fox Vulgarians.

• rcrdskpr@aol.com | Nov 24, 2010, 12:56 PM EST

  the only thing obama seems proud of is his muslim education and "inspirational" reverend wright.

• chesapeake | Nov 24, 2010, 11:07 AM EST

  Where have you people been? Obama has started to revert to a (somewhat) patriotic Amercian since the election; but be has, indeed, displayed his disdain for America and the Citizens. His hatred for this Country has been chronicled by several authors,and his actions while visiting other countries are proof positive of his attitude. Why else would he be hell bent for election (whoops!) to lead ua down the path of socialisem? New York liberals are so blind to The Democrat party failures that they really think that they have chosen the right (left?) path for America.

• seamusmoore | Nov 24, 2010, 09:12 AM EST

  Dennis Q You must live in Ireland and are a Dub(in all liklihood D4), judging from your line of thinking that coastal people matter more because they have greater impact since the media is there. That's why Murdoch has made so much $$$$, giving a voice to the rest of the country; perhaps you should read Bernard Goldberg's book Arrogance: Rescuing America from the Media Elite. One of his suggestions is that the network news divisions move their bureaus to places like Laughlin, Nevada to gain some diversity of thought. He tells the story of the NY Times drama critic Pauline Kael attending a party shortly after the 1972 election and remarking she can't understand how Nixon won (he got 60% of the vote) as she didn't know anyone who voted for him. You keep your country (although it looks like increasing numbers are exiting with great haste) and we will keep ours.

• DennisQ | Nov 24, 2010, 05:55 AM EST

  Sarah Palin is an entertainer, not a political leader. She's supposed to say provocative things, and nobody expects her to do serious reflection on important issues. She's not going to be president any more than her daughter's going to win Dancing With The Stars.
  
  Because Republicans are not taking her seriously, Palin has become more strident in recent months. She's trying to keep her name in the news even though she's not much more than an act. However, I'll be surprised if a year from now, she's still on anybody's list of top-ranked presidential contenders.
  
  People in flyover country like to think they are the real Americans, but in reality they're no more American than anyone else. New Yorkers are Americans, and glitzy Angelenos are Americans as well. People on the coasts have greater impact because that's where the national media are located. We don't hear reports from Omaha or Lubbock because there aren't any reporters there.

• JohnKilgore | Nov 24, 2010, 01:17 AM EST

  As someone whose thinking if not person is foreign to the United States, you seem not to appreciate how "unamerican" he seems to many Americans who do not live on the coasts/in academic enclaves in the interior. We find it incredible that he could join and continue as a member in a black Church whose minister's views are so bitter against the United States. Furthermore such views seem very congenial to his wife, who unlike Obama was reared in a black community.

• brianc2221 | Nov 23, 2010, 11:32 PM EST

  Patrick - You mean the Barack Obama who got involved in a local situation by accusing a white cop of "acting stupidly" for arresting a black man (when he knew no details regarding the case)? Or the Barack Obama who refused to let his Justice Department prosecute members of the New Black Panther Party for voter intimidation in an open ande shut case? That Barack Obama? He's no racist? At first people around the world were impressed with Obhama because fricking idiots like you told them how wonderful he was. They have come to discover he is a weak,bumbling,incompetent "leader." Go back to the pub moron and wait for your next DNC talking points memo.

• hjfarmer | Nov 23, 2010, 11:20 PM EST

  Like seamusmoore said - America is not beloved once again. Look at all of the countries thumbing their nose at the US these days.. the only reason the US is beloved is because it is no longer respected.

• seamusmoore | Nov 23, 2010, 09:45 PM EST

  Mr Roberts, Obama's world view mirrors that expressed by his Columbia professor Edward Said, Anglo-Egyptian "nancy boy" and author of Orientalism, the bible of postcolonial theory. Your boss, Niall O' Dowd, sits on the Advisory Council of the Irish Studies program at Notre Dame. The prevailing theme of the literature and, sadly, history is postcolonialism. Perhaps Niall and yourself would like to travel to South Armagh and asks the folks there how "postcolonial" do they feel? Then again, better not, Captain Robert Nairac doesn't need company.

• seamusmoore | Nov 23, 2010, 09:35 PM EST

  I love to listen to the Euro-trash sentiment that Patrick Roberts parrots: "America is beloved again! Maybe in the EU, but Europe is not the world. Asia, where my best friend regularly travels to sell US govt bonds to their central banks (funding that "stimulus" we so desparately needed) is certainly not in love with his economic policies. China for one is increasingly spending its trade dollars on hard assets like mineral companies and not on US govt bonds because of the weak dollar and soaring level of debt. Bush and the republican Congress (2001-6) may have been bad economically with their spending, but Obama has been horrific. Maybe if Ireland had a Palin, it wouldn't be the economic black hole it is today. The INDO reckoned almost $1B in wasteful spending occurred since 2001. Anyone care to remember the $140mm euro for a computerized voting system that was NEVER used once.

• warrenpoint00 | Nov 23, 2010, 08:58 PM EST

  Oh Sarah..If she ever gets to go abroad and see the real world I guess it will be to Germany and see the home land of her Furher Adolf, he of ethnic cleansing and anti immigrant fame and of course idol of the conservative right.Sarah just needs to grow a little black moustache.

• McNamara31 | Nov 23, 2010, 08:39 PM EST

  @waltergmccarthy "We can't wait to take our Country Back"....From who?...The duly elected president. Where would you like to take it to? A country run by an empty headed opportunist? But of course that's what your "real" America looks like. Red "White" and Blue

• waltergmccarthy | Nov 23, 2010, 08:28 PM EST

  This is typical left-wing tripe. Sarah Palin would beat this leftist community organizer hands down, if the election was to be held today. America needs a president that is proud of and loves this great country, not one who goes around the world, at our expense, and apologizes for the United States after we bailing out these dictators and third world dumps. This Barrack Hussein Obama is a one term president. Everyone sees through him now, and he won't have his "cool-aid drinkers" to carry him next time, since they haven't received the hand-outs they thought they'd get. There are at least four "real Americans" who can beat him right now. We can't wait to take our Country back.

• McNamara31 | Nov 23, 2010, 08:13 PM EST

  McNabb...It's way beyond not agreeing with the left. Palin can't confront Obama with facts so she demeans him with smear. Palin’s in it for Palin alone. She will sell her books, TV shows, make appearances around the country. Make all the millions she can all the way down to the wire then announce she's not running when she has bilked America for every penny she can. Even Barbara Bush sees her for what she is.

• McNabb1966 | Nov 23, 2010, 07:23 PM EST

  I see that Patrick has received the latest bulletin from Talking Points Memo...Obviously the fine folks on the Left feel that only THEY are entitled to label those who don't agree them as "racist." Why so outraged, Patrick? (Other than the fact that Move On and TPM told you to...) Lefties LOVE the race card!

• Mike7571 | Nov 23, 2010, 06:25 PM EST

  Mr. Roberts, What color is the sky in the world you live in?

• greenferrett101 | Nov 23, 2010, 04:03 PM EST

  Well said Patrick. The fact that we are still discussing Palin and contemplating taking her seriously is scary. The day she has proper political power is the day I emigrate.

• maloney | Nov 23, 2010, 03:48 PM EST

  patty roberts, the king of unadulterated nonsense. His articles belong in the trash. Whether Palin is qualified to be President is each persons opinion but every thing she said about barry(obama) & his America hating missus, was 100% correct. As for him being respected globally or making America loved again, roberts should pay more attention to the news. barry was rejected his last trip out & the world is scolding America for our spending habits, devaluing the dollar.

• hancock | Nov 23, 2010, 02:33 PM EST

• McNamara31 | Nov 23, 2010, 12:43 PM EST

  Jamaicelt… Well said…...Palin stokes the low information voters with manipulation and bigotry. She is an opportunist who will go to any length for her own selfish agenda. The world of 2010 is a complicated place with problems way above the head of this self promoting barracuda. This week she came out and said she will only talk to those in the media who will softball her unlike the Couric interview. What a world we now live in when a possible presidential candidate can tell us she will only talk to interviewers who like Fox bend over backwards to feed her questions a fifth grader could answer. Wake up America the day when a political illiterate could run America never existed.

• jamieLM | Nov 23, 2010, 10:38 AM EST

  I was disappointed that Obama didn't stand up to the Mex. president who PUBLICLY "lectured" Obama as if he were a 2 yr. old, giving Obama a tongue lashing over the immigration problem. The arrogant Mex. pres. shouldn't "get on his high horse" until he has his own country in order and can keep Mexican citizens in Mexico. I don't understand how Obama could listen to that unAmerican, racist Wright and his rantings for so long, either. Talk about a whack-job. Still, Palin is just making "political hay" with her book. She likes the attention (and $$) she gets from rattling everyone's cage, especially the liberal left. Palin should remember that she has flaws in her own record. "People who live in glass houses..."

• emal7717 | Nov 23, 2010, 10:20 AM EST

  John f. Kennedy would also be considered a Conservative Republican in today's world. Here is another piece of truth. Joe Biden authored the "Patriot Act" - he patterned it after the Reich Sicherheit where the people of germany were seen by the "National Socialist" as the enemy. Barry Obama Sotoro recently said that we are the enemy...history repeats itself! Just as in Germany, there were those who were brainwashed into following Obama - HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.

• eiriamach | Nov 23, 2010, 09:59 AM EST

  In 2008 Obama repudiated (Palin the semi-literate would say "refudiated") Rev. Jeremiah Wright's "vision of America." The pastor's racist comments, Obama said, "ended up giving comfort to those who prey on hate and ... do not portray accurately the perspective of the black church. They certainly don't portray accurately my values and beliefs." With these words, he separated himself from a religious leader who had become a demagogue. Palin, by contrast, would happily inject her own nonsense version of Christianity into the political debate. As John F. Kennedy told the nation in 1960, "I believe in a President whose religious views are his own private affair, neither imposed by him upon the Nation or imposed by the Nation upon him as a condition to holding that office." Can you believe that this is a point of view that now needs defending again?

• emal7717 | Nov 23, 2010, 09:56 AM EST

  As a candidate for Congress (2012) I can understand your disdain for your next president. The one you have has done his best to keep his promise to fundamentally change this great nation. In Barry Hussein Sotoro's very own words - "What we have is State owned Capitalism" ok lets look at the core of this, and for the "intellectual left" this should be an eye opener! STATE = Nationalist / National. State Ownership of the economy and Corporations is Socialism! so lets put the two together as Mr. Sotoro has...National Socialist, or more appropriately DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL SOCIALIST! Can anyone name a famous DNS...oh wait was that Adolf Hitler? then the answer is yes...wonder why he likes having people strip searched at airports!

  This woman is a very dangerous, rabble-rousing whack-job. If she becomes President, she will do more damage overseas than anyone else combined.

  She should go back to Alaska and stay there, but people who only believe what they read will vote for her and we will as a country will go backwards 100 years!
