Clever folks from California’s Democratic Party has rented a digital billboard across from the Sarah Palin rally at LA’s Home Depot Center, to allow people to text questions which will be displayed on the board.

Asking the Republican vice-presidential candidate question is easy. Simply text keyword ASK and then question to 69866. One of the questions suggested is “You said you’d run a respectful campaign on the issues, what happened?”

Yeah it’s neat and clever, especially to do this in California where Democratic candidate will almost certainly win. We’re not holding sides here, don’t get me wrong…

    I wish Sara Palin was running for President. She’s for the people & our rights. She seems not to be wishy washy on her veiws. She talks confidence & wants our country to move in right direction. She is more for our country & more willing to fight than John Mc Cain. Been several issues Mc Cain could of gone after Obama, but he is unwilling too. So,since he is not trying to win. Our country is going to end up as a sociolist country along with communism seeking in like water through a leaky pipe. When Obama takes over.

  • Steve

    Sarah Palin is a naive, gun toting, anti abortion hack who was chosen by John McCain solely because his campaign felt an overwhelming need to try to lure disappointed Hillary Clinton supporters to the ticket after Barack Obama won the Democratic nomination.

    She is in no way ready to be vice president of the United States.

    It is ludicrous for McCain to choose her in light of his ongoing attacks on Obama’s “lack of experience”….Palin’s resume makes Obama look like an elder statesman by comparison.

    Plus: the previous “steve” should learn to check his spelling. Even if they are typos, they make you look foolish.

    Sarah,

    I am scared with this man in. I am 54 years old and am worried about Obama’s cilvilian military youth corps which is really a draft upon our children…. How I wish you were in ! I am in tears…I have a son who will turn 20 soon and is in college and wants to be a doctor and pursue his american dream… And as a Mother yourself I admire your own son so much who went to Iraq. I will pray every night for him. I am not so brave as you and so freigtenned for my son who is my only child…I wish I had your strength.

    I admire you so much.This country needed you so much!

    I wish you were here in Washington now to protect us all.. To keep taxes low .. I am in the 250k and above and I am scared about that too. I have worked so very hard and I may lose so much now because of Obama.

    Please come back when you feel it’s the right time. America needs you so much. How they voted for a man hwo wouldn’t even put his hand over his heart and pledge or even wear a simple flag pin is beyond me. When he gets going and causes so much harm, maybe then they will realize not to vote for anyone like this again.

    You were great and the stupidness about your clothes was a joke. The real money question was.. Where did Obama gets hundreds of millions of dollars a month to virtually buy this campaign? He never disclosed that and that, was the real money question.

    Shame on the liberal news media for taking sides from day one. We see it…

    I wish you and your family well always and please do take care. You are a lovely, smart and capable woman! You have my vote when you are ready to return! I wish i oculd have met you but hopefully one day I can!!!

    God bless you and we love you!!!

    I wanted to also add Sarah, as you can tell from my post, that I am scared of my government for the first time in my life. I am 54 years old like I said and I am so afraid of my own government and have never felt this way ever…This is aweful. America made a big mistake and sadly we will all find out.. I did pray Obama does well because I love my country but I have these concerns and have been worried since he won. One of our Founding Fathers said…

    “When the people fear government, there is tyranny.
    When government fears it’s people, there is liberty.”

    How true! I think it was Bejamin Franklin.

    Thank you again Sarah and come back when you are ready.

    Again we luv ya!
