'Wrong voter purges can affect U.S. election results'

U.S. third parties ignored by media

Two is company, three is a crowd – maybe that’s why no one invited any other candidates to debate with Barack Obama and John McCain, so the third party contenders decided to have a debate of their own. They say the national media ignores them.

Hello Russian sympathizers, No defense necessary. In America, you can wear any clothes you choose. Especially if you work for them. She paid a price to wear those clothes, especially since Barack and Michelle were wearing the same exact thing. Maybe better!! Oh yah, Michelle got her clothes from Target, I forgot. The ladies on the VIEW, got their clothes at Target too. This is a stupid non-issue, attack distraction. If you get distracted by all the attack distractions, you will not see all the really important issues are on the table, like taking your freedom away. Russians should know all about that.

There seems to be, in my mind, no reason to believe that this story is untrue or unfounded. I have no doubt any candidate/politician has spent similar amounts on their wardrobe. And to have it disguised, either by having someone else pay for it, or as with property, having it in your spouse's name, wouldn't surprise me either. The only 'complaint' if you will, against Sarah Palin, that I have, and the biggest reason anyone should be able to see if they have their eyes open, is that she has her priorities completely mixed up. Anyone with as many things going on at home as she does certainly has no business running a state, never mind a whole country! Obviously she doesn't have any idea what her own daughters are doing for God's sake! And let's not forget (as she apparently has) how much her handicapped son needs her. Do you really think you want someone like this running the country?

I agree with Danelle whole heartily! Since when does what somebody wears or how much they pay for their clothes qualify or disqualify a candidate. This was a ridiculous distraction that took people away from the important issues of running a country. Sarah had so much to offer this wonderful country of ours. She represents hard work, accountability and freedom; things which I hope Russia will be able to accomplish and hold onto, things which I hope America can get back to! Fight for freedom!
