This is the best Democrats can muster?

  • Follow Letters

Some Republicans may be offended by Lowell Greenbaum's letter attacking Sarah Palin ("Choice of Sarah Palin is truly appalling," Sept. 5). I, however, was pleased.

Is this the best the Democrats can do? To attack her, Greenbaum accused her of spending time buying clothes for her daughter; not being Hillary Clinton; being a former beauty queen; and having limited military experience. (Memo to Lowell: That could be a dangerous issue on which to attack the Republican ticket.)

However, what struck me the most is this: Greenbaum never actually mentioned that Palin is the governor of Alaska! Allow me to mention a personal point. I was born in a European country. Sarah Palin governs an American state that is 37 times the size of my entire birthland!

That probably doesn't impress Greenbaum, but it sure does me.

LOL..greenbaum is desperate his letter made me smile.....

I mentioned elsewhere, and I'll mention it here too, she governed the largest state in the Union. If Alaska was cut in half and made into two states, Texas would be the third largest state instead of the second. Yes, Greenbaum and the dems are all desperate!

pofwe

greenbaum, is not only desperate but a desperate liar. Lowell didn't your mama teach you that lying is a sin? Why if I was your daddy I'd put you up for adoption. OH, I for got you are adopted aren't you.

What is truly appalling is the fact that this woman puts her personal ambitions above being a mother and taking care of her special needs child and soon to be grandchild. VP is a 24/7 job unlike a lot of other jobs.

Bizarro

Jack join the 21 century. I think the log cabin has burned down. So woman shouldn't work because they are abandoning their families. Tell Hillary and every woman senator and representative it is time to put on the apron and end their political career because of selfish ambition. That is unbelievably idiotic. I am waiting for Nancy Pelosi to resign she has five children.

largest state, but 47 th smallest population. Memphis has more people than the entire state of Alaska.
McCain chose a running mate he doesn't even know. That speaks volumes.
Palin said on TV she doesn't even know what a VP does. It's the equivalent of McCain hiring a secretary who can't type. Sure she's "exciting" to the guys. But is that what we need right now?

eybir

ummmm, let's see... I think Carter, Reagan & Clinton were all governors, too.

jack234 has cut and pasted that exact same sexist comment at least 5 times. It's getting really old. Perhaps if he says it 3 or 4 more times it will be true.

Jack234....are you aware that Sarah Palin has a husband who is capable of taking care of the children while she is working?

Senator John McBrilliant knocked it out of the park with his pick of Gov. Sarah Palin! When the polls come out Monday, he will be ahead for the first time in the campaign and never look back. Obama peaked too early and is finished. He will be looking at the lead dog the rest of the way and go back to being a one term Senator from Illinois.

She governs a state with a population half that of most major cities. I don't see where land area matters very much.

HillGuy

The left-wing wack jobs like Greenbaum are in a panic and they are showing their true ugly side. It is already backfiring big time.

dani

I like Sarah Palin for more reasons than one. I have learned so much about Alaska, that they have to take boats or planes to get to so many of their towns they are so isolated. A huge land, loads of wealth, and few people. An amazing and beautiful state.

Dan White

bs - She has more executive experience than Obama regardless that the Alaskan population is not as large as perhaps a Detroit - Oh yea, Kilpatrick, Detroit's mayor couldn't keep his breeches on, lied under oath, resigned in disgrace and is going to jail. Palin has executive experience PLUS she is a woman of character, good judgment, and leadership - qualities needed in the second highest position of the executive branch of the US government!

MyOpinion2...would you like to do the same thing for Obama, or will you just ignore all of that?

dani

My opinion..McCain was cleared of any charges that might have been made against him in the Keating Five scandal. You won't find one single statement at the trial that inidicates his involvement in any way. As a matter of fact, during the trial MCCain's name was never mentioned because it was found that he should never have been a part pf the investigation in the first place.

Dan White

Good point Sissy. In the meantime, Obama cozied up with the likes of terrorist Bill Ayers and the racist, hate America preacher, Jeremiah Wright who he defended over and over until his association with him became so embarrassing that he finally had to leave that church. I can see it now. Wright - secretary of state. Ayers - Supreme Court nominee. Jesse Jackson - Education or rather re-education secretary and Al Sharpton - secretary of defense. What a group!

This letter writer must have been drunk. I know you meant, is this the best that the Republican Party can muster? You people are truly funny.

HYPOCRITES 08

Naw, she has that name thing going.

SisterAbdullahX_

Hypo...what are you basing your 12:57 post on?

jack

cyou299, AK may be small in population, but huge in size with that population spread all over it. Russia is one of it's closest neighbors and Palin sponsored a conference of nations that are in the arctic circle. Ho many international conferences has NObama hosted? How much time has he spent as CinC of anyuthing? How much executive exprience does he have? How many times has he lied about reaching across the aisle to the Republicans or gone against DIMocRAT special interests to get legilation passed(eye witness is fellow Senator Joe Lieberman who said NONE).

jack

MyOpinion, try beating a dead horse. McCain was found neither to have broken any laws or Senate rules and cleared. So what if he told all to clear himself and Keating and others got nailed. John glenn (DIMocRAT) was also cleared of wrong doing. Now, let's go to a not so dead horse called Rezko (convicted crook) and Nobama's $1M house.

jack

Hyppo, YOU are the one who must be drunk or on drugs. The letter is dead on target with FACTS and the TRUTH which you DIMs have a hard time handling.

Doesn't Palin have a son in Iraq? Doesn't Biden have two sons who are lobbyist under investigation?

Alaskan oil corruption, Palins son worked on the alaskan pipeline http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIZ7nEf55pM&feature=related

SisterAbdullahX_

OMG....her son had a job! the horror!

patriciathomas

Greenbaum is the local Democrat party leader and has specific instructions that he must follow. That pitiful letter was a result of party orders. I think it epitomizes the current state of mind for the Dems... nervous, tense, unsure, fearful. I also think the Obama machine will regain their footing soon and this silliness will be forgotten. Shame on you Lowell.
