Here are a few links to get you started in knowing a little about her. If you want to know more after reading these then just let me know and I'll gladly give them to you. You know how to get a hold of me.http://www.sarahpac.com/abouthttp://www.ontheissues.org/sarah_palin.htm"[/quote]Haley, when I say that I don't KNOW a person well enough to like OR dislike them, I mean just what I say. You pop in that I don't know IF I like or dislike her, which is totaly DIFFERENT. Then you think that isn't picking an argument? I think from what I have seen and heard from and of this Palin woman that she isn't a strong candidate. Frankly it has been a year or so since I paid much attention to her, or Hillary, or even John. M., so I basicaly don't even remember much of what she said,other than "abstinance only" stuff.If she is in any position to run, I will listen to some of her stuff, and some of the OTHER persons ideas just like usual, and make up my mind, but to me Obama was a stronger candidate.John was a strong one before, but not now,Ross P. was good, and we would have voted for him, not sure that HE would have tacked Palin on as a running mate tho!

I brought legitimate viewpoints to the table...I didn't attack anyone...I guess you must be one of the trolls we aren't supposed to feed??ANYway.. Offensive wear. What's offensive to *you* may not be offensive to someone else. They may complain you're picking on them, their race, their beliefs... when a simple dress code of plain collared shirts and slacks (not jeans) with their pants at the waist, the same for girls (with a skirt option).Having children look clean and neat (your words, incidentally) for school is *not* asking too much.And nudity? Babe, that's against the law.To sum it up, if the kids are in uniform, there is a level playing field (i.e. no one is "better than" someone else because of their clothes) and they can do what they are there to do - *learn*. Let's not forget that's what they are there for.And again, uniforms can be purchased at Walmart, hardly an expensive pricetag versus the malls."[/quote]Then go buy one and wear it, but leave the kids alone.There is nothing wrong with jeans. And don't call me sweetie.

[quote]Haley said: "Pen - Now you don't know if you like or dislike her? Right... you expect me to believe that? It's been very obvious since she's been in the spotlight that you don't like her at all. What's sad is that you can't even answer as to why you don't care for her. Talk about blindly following the anti-Palin crowd! It's very simple to find out everything you want to know about her on the Internet."[/quote]Now look Haley, if you bother to read my comment you will understand it. If you can't understand it that is your problem, not mine.Just the facts understood it well enough, but then Just wasn't trying to pick a fight with me either.

[quote]ElleReed said: "Growing up in school I wore uniforms. It leveled the playing field, so to speak. There wasn't a definitive line between who wore what designer or shopped at what store. We all wore white shirts and either uniform skirts or slacks. Expression - Yes, we did find ways to express ourselves. Believe me, no one is limiting children by enforcing a uniform. Cost - "they're so expensive." Nope. Sears sells uniform pieces, as does WalMart. Parents think nothing of going to Hollister, Abercrombie or VonMaur, but bring up a uniform, suddenly there's no money for clothes.I think anyone who sits outside a high school on a hot day and watches the girls would rethink uniforms. I watched a girl in a bandana top (yep, just a bandana) and miniskirt and flipflops cross the street to her ride. Seriously? And don't forget the thug wannabes and their pants belted below their butts. For real? Our society needs to quit catering to the whiners. Why don't we find important things to focus on? Maybe on actual education, maybe on the economy, maybe on building our children's self-esteem, maybe teaching them that there are rules and regulations and it's good to follow them. I know, I know, it's SO much easier to whine about how unfair a rule or regulation is and stir up stupid lawsuits to "win" your point."[/quote]Yes, we DO need to quit catering to the whiners, so QUIT WHINEING.Kids can still dress in clean neat clothing, they don't need uniforms just because adults think they do. Concentrate more on just getting rid of offensive wear, like those pants to the knees, and let them wear what they want as long as it is CLEAN and not offensive.Let's not be all goofy here.just say NO NUDITY or gang related wear and be done with it.

[quote]Lawndart said: "If only leaders in the public school system would put as much brain effort into improving the curriculum and operations instead of haggling over a dress code standard. No wonder public schools are deteriorating. Skewed priorities. Keep it simple: No clothes with profanity, no showing naughty bits, and no gangsta colors or signs that would get Biggie Smalls shot at."[/quote]
I am with you Lawn. They are getting a tad carried away.

[quote]Haley said: "Yes, I know she was for the war, but she didn't go into explanation of if she would pull out, how she would deal with domestic terrorism, if she would give the Iraqi's a timeline of when we were leaving, what to do with Gitmo. None of that other then her thoughts on the war. Heck, I don't even remember that being talked about with Biden!The only reason why I know about her thoughts on healthcare reform was because she voiced her opinion way after the election was over. Remember, the hot topic during the campaign was the economy..not healthcare reform. She was never asked about this issue during the campaign. Neither was Biden!I can't speak for why others go gaga over her because I don't. I like her, but I don't think she's the best thing since peanut butter. There's some things I like and some things I don't. Obama can be questioned and challenged by opponents all day long..he's the President, not a former VP candidate. Big difference there in my mind. Yes, the focus was on Palin more then McCain during the election, but it wasn't because people were curious about her policies. It was her personal life they cared about, Bristol's pregnancy, or who could make fun of her the most. Nobody cared to find out what she stood for or what she believed in. Apparently, you didn't care to look either because you don't know why you don't like her when it comes to her stance on anything. If you had then you wouldn't be asking me these questions. She was a hot topic then, and still is now! I wish someone could figure out why that is so that people will move on and leave this woman and her family alone!"[/quote]There again Haley, I don't KNOW her, so I can't LIKE or NOT LIKE her.And I never heard her stance on much of anything,and nobody says much about that anyhow.

[quote]Haley said: "Pen, what do you mean I didn't answer you? I gave you brief reasons why I liked her and how I think she would've handled current issues that you asked about so that it wasn't a novel. What excuse? Palin wasn't running for President, she was running for VP!! Since she wasn't running for President the focus was on McCain with Presidential issues. There wasn't in depth discussion with her on those issues because she was only running for VP. I'm not a mind reader. Now, if she runs for President then there will be WAY more discussion with her on what she would do specifically on every issue from gay marriage, the economy, taxes, social security, health care, etc.. Palin is a conservative republican and has republican views, that is her platform! She's against big government, believes in fiscal responsibility, supports gun ownership rights, plus the other reasons I put on my original comment to you. She also is a huge advocate for special needs education, which is something that is a personal issue with me. I also feel she's a genuine person and I believe what she says. That's my biggest issue I have with Obama is that I don't trust his character or believe nothing he says. Of course that's an issue with almost all politicians. Of course this is my opinion and we will never see eye to eye on it. Are you able to answer your own questions that you've asked about her though? I hate to see people jump on the bandwagon when they don't know what the person stands for."[/quote]You mentioned @ whole things Haley, the war(she was FOR it) and buying health insurance accross state lines. Then you sit there and say she was "only going to be VP" . Neither explaines why people go GaGa over her.Neither explaines why the put down OBAMA in the same breath that they go GaGa over her either.So there you have it, either she was "just going to be VP" or she was the best thing to hit politics since peanutbutter, but nobody can tell me what makes her so great that they can put down the president of the United States for.And don't try to tell ME that the focus was on John M. , it was mainly on HER, and you know it.

[quote]David Hume said: "So....FDR was acting irresponsibly when he asked the republic's citizens to collectively join him in prayer for the success of the Normandy invasion?"[/quote]Nope, she didn't say anything even remotely like that. She SAID that the LAW is seperated from religionS. There are many religions. The President deals with laws and bills and politics, he doesn't deal with religionS.Of course he can lead a prayer, because it is up to the indivdual if they want to pray or not, he doesn't FORCE them.Don't play dumber than you are Hume.

[quote]skinnydipinacid said: "Pen, Pen, Pen... are you trying to tell us that she became Mayor, then Governor, then Vice Presidential candidate, schooled Joe Biden in the debates and has gone on speaking tour after speaking tour... yet not once has she stated her beliefs? C'mon on now, let's be serious. She got high marks from conservative groups... that's why she was chosen. The McCain camp desperately needed somebody that could connect to them, since he obviously was falling behind. Moderate Republicans was who put him over the top in the GOP primaries, while conservatives wanted nothing to do with him. Palin was then brought in to help pull some of those voters back into the crowds and eventually the voting booths... not John McCain (and it certainly wasn't because she said and stood for nothing... that just doesn't make any sense at all).Maybe you should look into her positions a little harder... who knows, you might end up liking her more than you've convinced yourself you don't, apparently without even knowing what she stands for."[/quote]Hardly. Nobody can tell me just WHAT she stands for, or just WHY they think she was white house material.Not even you.Like i said, no answers because none of you know.
