PBS Sarah Palin's VP Qualifications Poll
 

Friends,

PBS has a short video on Sarah Palin on their website.

Also included is a poll that asks:

Is Sarah Palin qualified to be VP?

...a few minutes ago the results were 49% percent had voted YES, 49% NO.

Let's turn this around.....

You don't have to give your name or email
address in order to vote. It's very simple.

Here's the link:

Thanks!

All,

PBS is publicly funded-that means tax-payer funded-and it has served as the leftist megaphone for generations, bringing such clap-trap as Bill Moyers. In short it is the lefty, tree-hugger network of choice. I will be astounded if Palin wins in any PBS poll.

Agreed. Nobody of any consequence will see or be influenced by a PBS poll. This is the left preaching to itself.
I would almost suppose that the 50/50 split is their own fabrication, as it loosely reflects what other, more unbiased sources are reporting.
The simple truth is that they have never polled, you, me or any other conservative who is too busy working for a living.
Today I saw my favorite bumper sticker of this campaign to date;
"REPUBLICAN
Because not everybody can be on welfare"

Sorry, I listen to PBS (mainly cuz of the wife) and although left leaning they are still fairly open minded compared to many of the "normal" news stations. That said, it is not my "station" of choice, but after 26 years, I don't always get what I want, and sometimes even hear some great stuff ;)


but, if you are afraid of going to their website to support a republican message, that is your right :D


Ed

Evidently not a lot of responders to the poll yet. My single vote changed the tally to 51% Yes, 49% No.

Ron, Ed will cancel you out.

My vote kicked it up to 53%. :) :) :)

not unless he's voting democratic... ;) My party of choice is McCain and Palin this year, I vote for the person, not the party, I just happen to vote republican more than I do the other side :)


ed

It's at 56% now...

I'm with ed, both on his views of PBS and the Republican ticket. Some folks like PBS, some like Fox network. PBS has some great programs. Depends on how you view the world. Neither is perfect. It would be a very boring world if we all shared only one opinion on everything.

is it posible that the dem,s could throw biden under the train and bring Hilda Beast back as there VP nom. to try and turn this sure win around? ole biden [sp] sure has been making some funny nois,es the last few days. even though it,s pretty much hopeless for them.

The fallout at this point would be fatal. Obama would be seen as;
Lacking sound judgement
Indecisive
A Flip Flopper
Pandering to the women's vote
Anti old white male liberal
Desperate

Take your pick of most, if not all of the above

All of the above and more.

So you're saying that everyone would finally see him as he really is? Bout time! :eek:

A great line today on Rush Limbaugh's show:

Pearl of Wisdom: "Democrats, who constantly preach about separation of church and state, are saying 'Jesus was a community organizer; Pontius Pilate was a governor.' Let me tell you something, Senator Obama: I know Jesus Christ. I pray to Jesus Christ all the time. Barack Obama, you're no Jesus Christ."

:roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :bigbye:

This from a drug addict who publicly mocked and ridiculed a man with Parkinson's disease. I wonder how Jesus would view that?

If I was looking for some intelligent comments Rush Limbaugh would be on the bottom of the list. This is journalism at it's worst. Bill

:soapbox: Rush Limbaugh is an island of sensible conservatism in an ocean of left wing liberal news media!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Jounalist? Heck NO!
 

<SOAP BOX MODE ON>

Okay guysâ?¦just keep laughingâ?¦ I am reloading! :D

By his own admission, Rush Limbaugh is a conservative humorist, commentator and entertainer, and he rejects the label of journalist... he doesnâ??t report the news, he comments on itâ?¦

Limbaugh is very successful at what he does. He wouldnâ??t have an audience calculated to be between 10 to 12 million people on over 700 radio stations nationwide if he wasnâ??t saying what they want to hear.

I like Michael J Fox, as an actor, and a comedian, but in the end he is still a liberal... and he had NEVER been seen in public displaying symptoms like he did in the POLITICAL commercials he made during the last election. IMNSHO he did use his personal health condition to draw sympathy in an attempt to get liberal politicians elected that would be favorable for his own agenda.

I sympathize with Foxâ??s personal plight, but IMNSHO believe that he exhibited his sentiments in those commercials without the medication that helps control his condition just to advance his agenda on stem cell research.

Limbaugh DID apologize if memory serves me correctlyâ?¦ everyone goes off half-cocked once in a whileâ?¦

Liberals will do anything, and say ANYTHING, to advance their cause in this country... including using the popularity of a celebrity with a health condition to get liberals elected, or keep them in office.

Just look at all the phony news stories and even doctored photographs regarding Gov. Palin... that are surfacingâ?¦ getting some press and then quietly being shown to be false, but the Obama campaign claims plausible deniability about being behind the liesâ?¦

The choice of Sarah Palin by John McCain has let the "new and improved" and the momentum and wind out of the Obama campaign and they don't know how to combat someone who tells the truth and has the intelligence, experience and determination to keep this country CONSTITUTIONALLY on track...except to create lies that may sway the weak minded.

My democrat brother, who graduated as a political science major, probably stated it best when he emailed me 5 minutes after the McCain campaign announced Gov. Palin as the running mateâ?¦ His comment: â??Remind me NEVER to play poker with John McCain.â?�

Charlie Gibson's interview (ABC) last night with Gov. Palin was conducted from the liberal high horse... and she didn't answer him without making sure she could word her answers so they couldn't be "spin"ed by the media... so now they are trying to use her caution as an example of being unprepared for her eventual duties.

I recently was forwarded this email by a member of the forum... (you know who you are Hugh!)... it contains some good and interesting facts about the preparedness and experience of Gov. Palin:
===========================================
"Before you dismiss the fact that Sarah Palin is Commander of the
Alaska National Guard, consider this:

Alaska is the first line of defense in our missile interceptor
defense system. The 49th Missile Defense Battalion of the Alaska
National Guard is the unit that protects the entire nation from
ballistic missile attacks. It's on permanent active duty, unlike
other Guard units.

As governor of Alaska , Palin is briefed on highly classified
military issues, homeland security, and counter-terrorism. Her
exposure to classified material may rival even Biden's and certainly
by far exceeds Obama's.

She's also the commander in chief of the Alaska State Defense Force
(ASDF), a federally recognized militia incorporated into Homeland
Security's counter terrorism plans.

Palin is privy to military and intelligence secrets that are vital to
the entire country's defense. Given Alaska 's proximity to Russia,
she may have security clearances we don't even know about. According
to the Washington Post, she first met with McCain in February, but
nobody ever found out. This is a woman used to keeping secrets.

She can be entrusted with our national security, because she already is"
===================================
We still have not been successfully attacked, in spite of the problems with bureaucratic red tape, and attempting to run this country by committee (congress)...

We have established two fledgling democracies (Iraq/Afghanistan) in the midst of the middle east petrie dish where islamic extremism is not only fostered, but encouraged... and those democracies will likely "infect" the rest of the Middle east dictatorships with revolution when their success becomes apparent over the lies of liberals.

We have freed 50 million people from the oppression of dictatorships and religious extremism and given them a chance to develop into a productive, free society...

Just because some of us are disappointed in the progress made by the Bush administration during the last 8 years... is no reason to hand off the reins of this wagon train to the party that directly and openly opposes virtually everything this nation stands for...

Obama really screwed up by not picking Hillary for his running mate...because of personal issues with her... she was the strongest one running... Joe Biden has proven over and over that he is a baffoon... his statements and actions over the last two days only proving it more...

Nobody wanted Joe Biden when he was running for president!... why in the world would Obama decide that he would be a good choice to defeat the republicans? That Obama decision is just one more example that he is NOT ready to lead.

Obama has allowed John McCain to steal the thunder of picking a woman with leadership credentials to balance the Republican ticket... and turned the tables against himself and the democratic party, â?¦and hopefully has doomed this attempt to advance the socialist agenda of the party.

Okay, my fingers are tired and I have to get back to work!

I WORK, and vote REPUBLICAN, because the nation canâ??t afford for everyone to be on welfare! :D

:icon107:

UH-OH! :eek:

(dk quietly tiptoes out of the room!)

The Dems DID throw Biden under the train!

They know this is still a bit too racist a country to elect a black man. Sad, but true. They know Obama therefore can't win. So, they saved Hiltlery for next time and threw Biden under the locomotive.
