I expect someone who aspires to national office to have some experience of life outside her own back yard. The governor of my home state has travelled abroad to further interests here - sister state relationships and trade agreements; Palin has yet to tell us where she's been.

Has Roger ever been to Alaska? Heck - has he even been to Peoria?

What the hell does that have to do with anything? Oh all-knowing and all-seeing one, how do you know where Roger ebert has and has not been? I've never been to Alaska myself, but my passport has a few stamps on it and I've seen most of the rest of the US and Canada as well. But Mr. Ebert isn't running for vice president and neither a...

I've never been to Alaska myself, but my passport has a few stamps on it and I've seen most of the rest of the US and Canada as well. But Mr. Ebert isn't running for vice president and neither am I.

It is becoming more and more obvious that Palin as a choice of the Repugnant Party is exactly what they need: A Mouthpiece for Propaganda. She truly believes her own b.s. and the rhetoric espoused for 100 years by the "Right Wing" and its representatives like Pegler. The only change in their rhetoric: Terrorism has replaced Communism.

is the breeding ground for fascism. Fascism has never died out, it just looks more benign and is dressed up differently but the message has remained the same, exactly the same. Palin is the messenger, a truly believing messenger.
