Well said. I'm always surprised that people who voted for John Edwards and Joe biden have the gall to criticize Sarah Palin as unpresidential. At least they could try to be accurate about it, instead of regurgitating crap that was fed to them.
The stuff in bold was edited out of the interview by ABC, just to persuade rubes like you.
GIBSON: Let me ask you about some specific national security situations.
PALIN: Sure.
GIBSON: Let’s start, because we are near Russia, let’s start with Russia and Georgia.
The administration has said we’ve got to maintain the territorial integrity of Georgia. Do you believe the United States should try to restore Georgian sovereignty over South Ossetia and Abkhazia?
PALIN: First off, we’re going to continue good relations with Saakashvili there. I was able to speak with him the other day and giving him my commitment, as John McCain’s running mate, that we will be committed to Georgia. And we’ve got to keep an eye on Russia. For Russia to have exerted such pressure in terms of invading a smaller democratic country, unprovoked, is unacceptable and we have to keep
GIBSON: You believe unprovoked.
PALIN: I do believe unprovoked and we have got to keep our eyes on Russia, under the leadership there. I think it was unfortunate. That manifestation that we saw with that invasion of Georgia shows us some steps backwards that Russia has recently taken away from the race toward a more democratic nation with democratic ideals. That’s why we have to keep an eye on Russia.
And, Charlie, you’re in Alaska. We have that very narrow maritime border between the United States, and the 49th state, Alaska, and Russia. They are our next door neighbors.We need to have a good relationship with them. They’re very, very important to us and they are our next door neighbor.
GIBSON: What insight into Russian actions, particularly in the last couple of weeks, does the proximity of the state give you?
PALIN: They’re our next door neighbors and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska.
GIBSON: What insight does that give you into what they’re doing in Georgia?
PALIN: Well, I’m giving you that perspective of how small our world is and how important it is that we work with our allies to keep good relation with all of these countries, especially Russia. We will not repeat a Cold War. We must have good relationship with our allies, pressuring, also, helping us to remind Russia that it’s in their benefit, also, a mutually beneficial relationship for us all to be getting along.

The President, due to solely wielding the constitutional power of the executive, can classify and declassify information as he pleases. Also, there are many individuals in Government who have been granted by the President the power to classify and declassify information.

The authority to protect such information falls on the President as head of the Executive Branch and as Commander in Chief. - See more at: http://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-...
This post would mean a lot more if the OP had gotten his their facts correct. Karl Rove didn't get kid gloves treatment. He didn't break the law or out anybody.
Anything specific? Or is it just themes put forward by people who see inustice everywhere they look? Are they looking for ways to improve gender equality in professions like nursing and teaching?

Of course there's demand for cheaper STEM workers. It's because we have an artificially created supply.
You mean they can go to hell because they'll run out of the fossil fuels that you dont want to allow them to use anyway? Their Hell is you.
Have you taken a look at Detroit lately?

Are you sure about that? Because I think you're full of shit.
You know, you can actually see Russia from Alaska.
And how long does it take two trucks to ship the same amount of goods as a fully loaded freighter?
Right. Just like when I tell microsoft I don't want to renew my xbox live subscription and they do it anyway. Those checkboxes are meaningless.
The "control group" was also vaccinated.
...in the unvaccinated control group?
Which tax breaks?
What tax breaks for oil?
Because the media is in the tank for one political party. It's the propaganda wing for the Democratic party.
Where's the part where he broke the law or outed a covert agent?
I will quote once more

You're actually flat out wrong.

ITAR blows. I have to deal with it as well.

Hilarious. The lack of knowledge present here is remarkable.
They never do. That's the point.
Black Americans stand alone as a racial demographic that votes overwhelmingly one way. It's a legitimate question that deserves an answer.
The'v tried that in a few countries. Most everyone ends up poor, except the few who get to allocate the resources, they end up fantastically rich.

What gender and race barriers are in the way?
