Sarah Palin is NOT the presidential candidate!

[protege]

Because Democrats are more scared of Gov. Palin than Republicans are of Sen. Biden.

Actually, they're doing it because it's *trendy* to bash Republicans. They know that anything putting that party in a bad light will get viewers.

Just like it's trendy for Republicans to bash Democrats?

The Republican/Democrat *rivalry* has been going on for years. I meant more of the "OH NOEZ, REPUBLICANS R BAD" media mentality, and how they're responsible for every bad thing that happens, and how if we say anything different, we're accused of being "racist," "homophobic," etc. In other words, it's OK to bash Republicans, but not so the other way. For example, the Iraq war. It's simply too easy to blame them, especially since several Democrats voted in favor of it. That fact is usually overlooked. Do I hate the Democrats because of that? Nope.

Yes, I am a registered Republican. Do I always vote that way? Hell no--I try to vote for whoever I think is the better candidate. Also, I do not agree with some of the things with the party. I don't agree with their stand on gay marriage and religion. About the only thing I agree with...is that we need *less* government. There's enough federal meddling in our lives as it is.

...The commander in chief at the start of the war was republican. A republican administration planned and bungled it. I don't think we've forgotten that democrats voted for the war at the time, but we also have to remember that at the time, we were being lied to by the republican administration about why we needed this war.
This is the bummer of being an unpopular party in power who has made quite a few tactical errors in governance. You get raked over the coals daily.

You get raked over the coals daily.

Just as Clinton did 10 years ago. Frankly, whoever's President has a bullseye on them in terms of media scrutiny. Any screwup - big (botched war) or small (extramarital affair) is going to make the news.
