The real divide in America is cultural, not economic. It has to do with values rather than dollars and cents. The Left thinks the reason Red America votes as it does it because of materialism. They couldn't be more wrong!

Interesting points. Wonder why I haven’t seen them in the MSM.

As governor of Alaska, Palin is briefed on highly classified military issues, homeland security, and counterterrorism. Her exposure to classified material may rival even Biden’s...”

What a gem you are.

You have summed up, in a few short paragraphs, why Sarah Palin IS qualified to be VP and commander in chief, if God forbid, it ever came to that.

First, she governs a state with many of the same agencies as the federal government but obviously on a smaller scale.

Her briefings as Governor of Alaska, the nearest of our states to Russia, especially with the shaky condition of the way things are going IN Russia right now, must be intense.

Besides, before ANY of us knew anything, we were taught.

As an elected official in the White House, she would have a wealth of advisors, experienced military men and experts in many fields to guide her in all phases of learning the job of Vice President. What she doesn’t know at first she will learn. Her good common sense, character and past experience as a governing official will also help her.

And, just speaking of people in general,I have found if you are respectful, kind, but are a no-nonsense type who shows that you cannot be bullied, most people respect you and sometimes even will go out of their way to help you.

She will be admired AND respected, I just have a feeling.

This woman’s nomination has caused the entire democrat party to go Archie Bunker on women in the workplace over night!

This exposes yet another hypocrisy of the left. What was the constant refrain, the mantra, that we heard all through the 90s from the Left with regard to Hillary Clinton? “You Right-Wingers just don’t like a ‘Strong Woman’”. “It’s only becuse she’s a ‘Strong Woman’ that you’re opposed to her.”

Now, here we have an ACTUAL strong woman, who’s achieved more in her life than Hillary who got where she got strictly and solely because of who her husband is, and the first thing those same leftists want to to do is tear her down.

endthematrix, your statement was graceful and logical:

“Evil triumphs when good mothers do nothing.” [Regarding cheap shots by the Bork Palin Crowd]

I’ll feature it in my profile and keep it archived on a web page or thread, along with other quotes.

I recently shifted gears and started quoting another profundity [which I believe will be proven correct] from another poster in tagline:
