Can we chill with all the talk about palin?
The only reason I ask is that imho its taking our eyes off whats important, we should instead be focusing our energy to show that McCain, regardless of his VP pick is not much if any "change" from the many failed Bush policies, hammer that again and again but sheesh enough with Palin, shes a nothing, so lets treat here like it.

2. she is actually a controlled package
who spends taxpayer''s money on trips when she was acually at home. She has to be finshed off now. Jailed preferably.

3. 'Cept McCain't had to step in front of groups of people assembled
for other reasons because he couldn't get his own audience.

Suddenly, there was a halfway animated crowd at the conventioin to see Sarah.

If you don't think that's an important issue, whatever.

4. Problem is, the PRESS is talking about her more than McCain
His surge in the polls is thanks more to her just... existing I suppose... than anything he himself has done or said. Knocking her down a peg can be nothing but good for us.

Pretending she doesn't exist could be very dangerous.

5. We need to drive the truth to the media before they canonize Saint Sarah.

10. Hate to break it to you, but if McCain wins it will be because of Palin.
before her, he didn't have a shot , now he leads in all polls. She is very relevant, to ignore would be stupid.

11. The more we talk about Palin, the less positive mystique she has. I say
we talk about her till the cows come home. She's only going to look more human and less like a maverick.

12. We adults are permitted to talk about what we want (or avoid what we want) within DU Rules.
DU is generous enough to give us the freedom to do both. Don't care to talk about it? THEN DON'T. But don't stifle others' discussions on a Discussion Board.

I DON'T participate in the Palin threads, but I don't mind if others want to.
