Biden’s Gloves Come Off … Against ‘Sexist’ Media

Thank God for Biden. Through the entire speech last night I kept waiting to hear what McCain/Palin were going to do to help our country and instead all I heard was how they think Obama is elitist.
Joe Biden said it best… its about what we did NOT hear.
The reason we didn’t hear anything about jobs, healthcare, afghanistan… is because they’ve got no plan!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHA… I can’t wait for one planted question for Palin in a town hall such as… “who is the President of Georgia?”… just to watch her fumble and bumble will be a fun sight to see.
Anyone can read a teleprompter… but can you debate Joe Biden on foreign policy? HAHAHAHAHA

As a Democrat supporting Democrats downticket and McCain for President, I think the Republicans can breathe a sigh of relief. Sarah Palin did women proud. She will not back down, she will not be destroyed by a pro-Obama media, and she showed how strong women really can be. As a woman, I was proud of her, and I think she will make a fine Vice President. If the DNC doesn’t think this woman is going to bring over some moderate and conservative-leaning Hillary supporters, they are living in Fantasy Land. I don’t like all her stances, but I like Sarah just fine. McCain-Palin have the support of all the women in my extended Irish-American family.

days through the Republican convention and not a single word about issue # 1, the ECONOMY. Not one word from the keynote speaker, not a word from the VP candidate. All they know how to do is hurl insults. republicans are more concerned with winning elections than goevrning. They say never mind about the disaster of the last 8 years, vote for McCain because she was a POW. Never mind her draconian, insane stance on women’s rights, vote Palin because she is female. This is a pathetic party that is quickly pushing itself into irrelevance. Sooner or later Palin will have to face that devil liberal press. we’ll see how she holds up without the speech Bush’s speech-writer wrote for her.

So, ABC didn’t like my post and they took it off? Isn’t that called censorship? Another thing to look forward to in a McCain/Palin administration…

PALIN WORE AN ALASKA FIRST PIN. WHATS WRONG WITH THE AMERICAN FLAG PIN?

Please someone help me out to verify the fect that when Mr. Biden ran for USA president twice and he’s got what, less amount of votes than what Sarah got when she ran for the Mayor of a small and unknown town. Shame on you Mr. Biden! Show American people that you have cojones not the otherway around.

Let the vetting begin!!!
Insane McCain/Secession Sarah ’08!

Republicans should lose for the mess they have created. Of course Obama and the dems will just add to the mess. Eventually the country will be either smart enough or desperate enough for real change. Ron Paul.

Nobody is listening to the snooty, sneering Libs.

Funny Americans….so the election is about a childish ranting women…about Republicans attack? …Name Calling….not about issues anymore!!Gooduck if you believe 8yrs lesson is nothing……other countries are moving on!

Sarah is an insult to women. She cries sexism everytime a little tidbit is dug up on her. Her speech was written by someone else for her to give. She is not an original or a maverick. She is a unqualified woman trying to fill the void on a horrible Republican ticket. Nice try McCain this country isn’t as stupid as you hoped!

==so the election is about a childish ranting women…about Republicans attack? …Name Calling….not about issues anymore!!==
Nobody is listening to Libs, except to take what Libs say as confirmation of Conservative values.

Whenever Joe Biden says he was impressed and that he is worried about his competency, watch out. He thinks this woman is toast. Hope he doesn’t get to over confident.

Dems new strategy is to tag Sarah Palin with Bush. They didn’t succeed with McCain because everyone knows they hate eachother, so now they says it about Palin. I saw her speech, and I don’t think she looked like Bush one bit. Obama is the charming IVY-league bubler of words in the crowd running for office.

That was the most sarcastic and downright nasty political convention I’ve ever seen. I still can’t figure out what the republicans are for… but I get the message that they have no respect for Obama. Underestimate Obama at your own peril, fools.
Palin proved she can act as tough as Bush and read Rove’s teleprompter. Big deal. There are hundreds of thousands of women who could do that. Why would I be impressed?
Student council? Maybe.
VP? Not gonna happen.

Sarah “Baracuda”: Sounds like a real American, to me.
The problem isn’t that conservatism is too strong in this country; it isn’t strong enough…until last evening, that is. Americans WANT Conservative, and they’re showing it.
Angry white males, just like ’94, are chomping at the bit, and we’re taking this country back this November!

Lib detractors against Palin don’t have an audience, and their remarks go only to energize Republicans and independents who felt that they had nowhere to go.

Mr. Incredible, can you do anything other than call people liberals?
I think given the past 8 years, I think “conservative” might be the new bad word.

2000, 2004, 2008, Rove, Limbaugh, Bush- Cheney, McCain-Palin.
By order of importance and influence.

Sometimes a good offense is a good defence. I see the strategy Mr. Biden and I hope it works. Focus on what’s important but be careful, even a dog on a chain can bite if you don’t keep a wary eye on it.

As an independent, I’m looking for what these people are going to do.
What I saw last night reminded me of the first GW Bush convention.
I hate to say it, but the republican party created the economic and foreign policy mess we’re in today. The debt has EXPLODED and I don’t see any sign that they get it. McCain has toed the line with Bush for 8 years. Maverick? Who are you kidding? We need policy.
Palin can attack Obama all night long if she wants, but frankly I’m sick of that ole GOP viscous personal attack game. Look where it got us.

For the jerk above who would not do some research, let me educate you a little. Joe Biden got almost 80000 votes this primary alone. That’s about 9 times the population of her town. She would have had to get 100% of the vote for nine years in order to get as many votes as he got during this primary. Are we really that dumb?

Oh no! Rove! Well Joe, if he did write it I assume he gave her permission to do it. Taking someone elses work and making it your own isn’t nice.

==Are we really that dumb?==
Well, yes, Libs are.

Republicans Message = we will all die and be tortured if the democrats get the white house, and the economy and jobs will all evaporate and america will die in fire and brimstone
Democrats Message = If we all band together and work hard for our dreams the american people can change how america is and make it work for them, restore america, restore americas image, restore americas greatness
i mean, its like night and day with these people….
guess whos been in charge for the last 8 years… the republicans!
oh but but but the congress has been democratic for the last two years…
ok so you guys can F things up for 6 years and we have to reverse all those 6 in 2…. oh but, wait, you have to do it with a president who vetos everything coming across his desk and a congress that isnt a phillabuster
i mean what ajoke… thanks but not thanks mcsame and lamelin
oh hey paylin what experience do you have again?
community organizer… obviously you dont know what a community organizer is, its someone who organizes people who feel their government is overlooking them…
which is what you republicans are still doing… not one word about how they will change what is going on…
oh wait… im sorry they will drill everywhere… ok there now we know the platform drill drill drill drill drill
ohhhh teh evil oil companies… but not that evil because we still want to drill drill drill drill

==frankly I’m sick of that ole GOP viscous personal attack game.==
So what? You weren’t gonna vote Republican anyway.

It is not very difficult to blurt out a speech written by some backstage attack dogs. The difficulty is ahead when Palin faces the media and get drilled on her knowledge of real world politics that are far different from those of Alaska. She called herself a lipstck wearing pit bull. What do you call a she pit bull. I think the gloves may have come off with her shreiky speech. It was difficult to hear her voice for more than a few seconds. McCain-Pa(l)in.

Don’t let these Libs tell you that you need affordable healthcare, or that you need good paying jobs, or you need a better education! And who really gives a crap what the rest of the world thinks about us! I sure as heck don’t.
Vote McCain/Palin!!

I had trouble with the lies about taxes. The fact is that Bush has given tax breaks to the extremely wealthy at the expense of the middle class. Obama says he will cut…CUT…C…U…T taxes for 70% of Americans. I’m pretty sure I fit into the 70th percentile. How about you? Meanwhile the republicans have borrowed over a trillion dollars from China to pay for the disaster in Iraq (that McCain voted for) knowing full well that it will be paid by our grandkids. And the whole drill here now spin…that’s got big oil written all over it and what does it do to lessen our dependence on oil? Why do so many people vote against their own self interests? It seems so sad to me, the sheer ignorance of these people. They see some small town woman standing proud…all I see is a snake oil saleman. Can we servive ANOTHER 4 years of this republican insanity?

To Rachel (the post at 9:14:08 am)
Biden did get more votes during the primary than Palin did running for Mayor. Palin received 616 votes in 1996 and 909 in 1999. Biden received 76,165 votes in the 2008 primaries. This is according to Jim Kuhnhenn, political reporter for the Associated Press. Next time Rachel, wait for the answer to your question before you go off on Biden or anyone else for that matter.

==It is not very difficult to blurt out a speech written by some backstage attack dogs.==
All these speeches are written by somebody else.
The Lib vote is a known quantity; we already know they won’t vote Republican. So, what they say is irrelevant.
Let the dogs bark. The train rolls on!

Rachel,
To your question about verifying whether Sarah P. got more votes as mayor than Joe B. did in the Democratic Primaries, the answer is no–he got more than she did in South Carolina alone. But so what? It’s an irrelevant metric. As McCain’s manager said, they’re not running on the issues, they’re running on personalities. And the best way to do that is through commercials and speeches–and to keep your candidate as far from the press as you can. Rove excels as image-making. Look where it’s gotten us.

NOLA56:
Your Biden “News” is so old that everyone has heard it long ago. Beating a dead horse doesn’t do much good. Besides the whole episode was a swiftboating by the Dukakis campaign at the time.
However, if you want to go after old history from the ’80′s then let’s talk about McCain and the Keating 5, and the Savings and Loan debacle! Then you see which is worse.

“All these speeches are written by somebody else.” – Mr. Incredibly dumb
FACT: Obama wrote the entirety of his acceptance speech by himself.
I’d love to see McCain, Mr. 5th from the bottom of his graduating class… even write a complete sentence.

Mr. Incredible,
You seem to be having fun supporting your candidate, and it’s something I could live with. People like you can make for a fun conversation. What I despise is the vitriolic rants coming from irrational individuals. After the last 8 years, you might want to reconsider using the word “lib” as an insult. Not that I believed people should’ve run away from it in the first place, but I don’t see it being a disadvantage being labeled a liberal.

maybe its on the upper right on your screen.
but at any rate

==To Mr. Incredible
Gosh, good to see you join those staunch defenders of feminism, Sean Hannity, Karl Rove, and Bill O’Rielly in the past 4-5 days. Wow. The republicans are the new Gloria Steinem. Will wonders never cease…..==
“Baracuda” has the right and correct qualities for the country. Has nothing to do with feminism.
You people are threatened by a strong, intelligent, Conservative woman who just happens to be great-looking, too.

==I could not bear her shreiky voice for more than a few seconds.==
So what?
== It is not difficult to blurt out a speech written by backstage attack dogs.==
All those speeches are written by others. So what?

When people find out that Ms. Palin has been nursing at the earmark laden breast of Washington for her entire political career, some daylight may shine on her “change” theme, as well as her speech (“I told Washington, No Thanks.”). The fact is, while the “bridge to nowhere” hasn’t been built, Alaska (Palin) still took and has the money. So all you Republic Party followers, be careful because the truth soon comes home to roost!

==I think Mr.Incredible probably has his own little happy time looking at photos of that “strong, intelligent, Conservative woman who just happens to be great-looking, too.”==
Typical Lib response. Nobody is listening to Libs.

I understand better why Sarah believes that she is up for the VEEP job. One foreign trip to a Chinese restaurant in Ohio made her an expert in foreign affairs. A mayor of a town with more bears than humans made her an expert in job creation and fiscal responsibility. A mom of a pregnant teenager who practiced abstinence made her an expert in family issue. A membership with a party that is pushing for Alaska to seccede made her an expert in political reform. AND no experience at all in issues that matter made her the perfect outsider who is going to help McCain understand the fundamentals of a strong economy. What a joke!

==Ms.Pa(l)n has to face the media drilling in days to come that will put her knowledge of world political situation and her grasp of things to test. I wonder what will this lipstick wearing pit bull do then. Attack them?==
You people were expecting her to stumble and fall last night.
This morning, you are worried cuz she didn’t. You people are wounded and crying about it, too.
So, in those news conferences, your expectations will be stomped on again and again.

200,000 Berlins chanting for BO is enough for me to go vote Republican! When you go looking for adulation from them instead of visiting our wounded soldiers you are nothing but a narcisstic di*k!
Palin may have only made one trip but she got it right & visited and supported the troops. Just because we don’t want them there does not mean you neglect them and show up your only time to vote & then vote “no” to support them!!

Get a clue!!! He is the one that pushed off her being a mayor of samll town as meaningless. It was an elected office with responsiblities! He has been elected to nothing that has made him responsible for anything other than his own campaign to run for the next office.

As a working woman who went back full time when my son was 8 weeks old. I am insulted that the press or anyone else has the b$lls to says she can not be VP because her kids need her at home!
I was an RN working as a Nursing Administrator and decided to go back to school to get my MSN and now work as a Nurse Practitoner, all while working full time with 2 part time jobs and gasp… while my son was in school and as a single parent(he was 7 yrs old when his father and I split). My son is now 24,last year of law school,never in trouble and an honor student(ps.. same law school as Joe Biden). My son was honored I worked and went to school. Once saying to me when things got tough in high school “I told my friends my mom understands what I am going through because she is in school also”
Look it will not be easy for either Palin or Obama.If Obama becomes President how much quality time will he spend with his kids? “Oh but being a VP is so important how can she do it all?” Look the bottom line is you do what you have to do and surprise… life is full of ups and downs. “But she may have to be President if McCain dies can a woman do it, with no experience? please…. how about Margaret Thatcher, or does England not count? Isn’t the Prime Minister of Germany and the Phillipines a woman?
Nobody is ready to be President. But I have a feeling Palin does not take sh#t from anyone or she would not be where is is today.
By the way my son is for Obama , I was for Hillary. Made for some great discussions in my house!

I love Democrats!!! I love Republicans!!! We all want the same thing… good jobs, health, a home, and security. People need to start actually looking at McCain & Obama’s plans if they want to make an informed decision.
Its time for Republican voters to stop shooting themselves in the foot and look at the issues and its time for Democratic voters to stop mocking people who disagree with them and start working to progress the good causes they believe in.

Libs are a known factor, quantity.
The unknown factor, quantity — as far as Libs is concerned — is the Repbulican and evangelical force that is waiting to come out the woodwork in November, having been switched to the “on” position by “Baracuda.”

What can you say about the Republican ticket.
It really sounds like it’s coming together.
Obama could have been standing tall with Senator Clinton, but instead chose to allow McCain to stand tall next to Governor Palin.
Obama will not win the women this election.
Obama wanted to hog the spotlight.
Now we need a flashlight to find his act.
Obama who?
Go Democrats for McCain!

Being a woman and a feminist, the latter for more than 40 years, I should like to point out that a strong and intelligent woman might have something to point to other than being a hockey-mom. Being a mother is better than than, better than pointing to a weak stereo-type. She compared herself to a pit bull, with lipstick.
There is subconscious inference there… a dog is a dog. Thank you. Woof. Lipstick is a product designed to be applied to the lips to enhance their color and texture to further enhance the wearer’s image and attractiveness to viewers. So she’s a submissive creature, but one that wants to be attractive. That’s not the role model I want for my daughters.
There are many strong and powerful women who have opinions and parent successfully, but do not rely on their gender and the trappings there of (lipstick, pretty princess waves, pseudo anti feminism) to gain points in society.
McCain did not pick any of them. He picked a lady who can stand up like Miss Congeniality and call names with a smile.
Obama won his primary by talking about what he would do, how we could all it together. How we could envision a brighter future and work together to make it happen. He didn’t win by going… “I’m black. I’m a very nice black. You can’t say nothing mean about me, cuz I’m a black.” He is a human being with an idea and that’s what he ran on .
Palin is saying, “I’m a religious conservative. I have such a great education, that I’m not really going to mention it to you, but man, I played a great game of basketball in high school! Oh, did I mention my husband works for oil companies and he’s a CHAMPION snow machine racer! OH yeah! I fire my underlings if they don’t fire my ex-family members! What’s being governor, if I can’t get my way! Ethics are what I feel they are! I wrote Ethics reform, after all, so I’m right! I supported abstinence training! That whole thing about human beings actually liking to have sex on some instinctive level… that’s liberal propaganda! Just tell the kids not to.. they’ll understand. My kid is pregnant, but don’t worry, she’s gonna marry the daddy and everything will be good!”
I’ll tell you what.. if she was a man.. they’d be all over that, all over both those things. But! Now that she’s a woman, we ignore those things?
Is that the role we want for women? Get pregnant young, get married, do what you’re told?
Children are a great blessing. They were in my life, the very best thing that ever happened to me. I have two daughters. I want them to have safe sex when they chose to. I want them to have children, when they chose to. I want them to make their lives as they want them.
So… my kids kept that virginity thing until they were in their twenties. College, dreams, working towards what they wanted to do with their lives. My older daughter is doing City Year soon.
You know what I told my kids when they got near the right age… “Here are the risks, here are the benefits, this is what you can do to protect yourself.” It wasn’t some huge scary secret thing that you had to wait for some magic anointment of the marriage gods for.
I want a role model that talks about truth, working together, honesty, and democracy, not ‘oil’arcy that we have now.
Nix
Obama/Biden ’08

==She compared herself to a pit bull, with lipstick.==
She was calling attention to her tenacity. She has it. Libs don’t like that she does. That’s too bad cuz I don’t care whether they do, or don’t.

Mr. Incredible,
Once upon a time, it took months to travel by little wooden ship between Europe and the New World.
Now… information is faster than you can walk from one side of the ship to the other.
They’re not taking our money anymore, Sir. The dollar is worth much less.
Vote McCain/Palin so we can all see what being a third world country is like, up close and personal. Besides, whe haven’t lost enough life yet, haven’t blown up enough building.
Do you really think that abridging the constitution and bleeding out in Iraq is helping anyone except Al-Qaeda?
The first George Bush was a conservative. He didn’t go into Iraq. He told his son not to go into Iraq. W and McCain are not conservatives. They are tax breaks for the rich, misery for the poor (like everyone else, because there is no middle class soon), and spend on war. Spend and war.
In America, our bridges fall, our jobs go out of country, our money goes to China, our civil rights are history, but by goodness, we’ve kept those gays from marrying and kept women from having choices.
The rest of the world has an opinion because when we ruin ourselves, we’re harming them too.

Palin = George Bush republican
more of the same, hate and fear

Ordinarily I’d agree that the family and especially the kids are off-limits in political campaigns.
But I’ve seen Sarah Palin deliver (read? give voice to? parrot?) two “speeches” now, at last Friday’s announcement of her selection and at the RNC last night. And in both cases the “first dude” and the passle of kids (last night with the “baby daddy” added for extra spice) are paraded out and shoved in our faces.
Frankly, if the Republicans feel they need the family to sell Sarah Palin to us, then the whole family — husband, kids, in-laws-to-be, lock, stock and barrel — are ALL FAIR GAME FOR COMMENT.
The Republicans opened this door. They can’t close it any time they want to.

==They’re not taking our money anymore, Sir. The dollar is worth much less.==
Irrelevant. They’re taking our aid. Hypocrites.
==Vote McCain/Palin so we can all see what being a third world country is like, up close and personal.==
That’s old propaganda.
==Besides, whe haven’t lost enough life yet, haven’t blown up enough building.==
Are you al-Qaida public relations?
==Do you really think that abridging the constitution and bleeding out in Iraq is helping anyone except Al-Qaeda?==
Do you think that our being involved in WWII, for example, helped the Germans?
==The first George Bush was a conservative. He didn’t go into Iraq.==
A mistake, as we now see.
== He told his son not to go into Iraq.==
Had he listened to his father, you would have complaining that he is leting his father run the country.
== W and McCain are not conservatives.==
They are conservative enough for me to wanna stop a Dem from winning.
==They are tax breaks for the rich…==
The ones who make jobs.
==… misery for the poor…==
Who want a handout.
==.. and spend on war.==
Somebody has to stand up in the world community.
==In America…our civil rights are history…==
No, they’re not.
==… but by goodness, we’ve kept those gays from marrying…==
Everybody is either male, or female.
Those who claim to be homosexual are either male, or female. Nothing stops them from marrying those of the opposite sex who claim also to be homosexual.
==… and kept women from having choices. ==
Nobody has stopped anybody from choosing.
==The rest of the world has an opinion because when we ruin ourselves, we’re harming them too. ==
Tough.

*claps for Paul C!*
It’s not like the Republicans won’t have something to say about Obama’s family or Mr. Biden’s either.

==Palin = George Bush republican
more of the same, hate and fear==
Take a look at the comments on blogs, and you’ll see that the hate and fear come from the Left nuts.

You fools in the Third World got plenty on your plates to keep you busy for a very long time. You don’t need to be gettin’ all up in our business up in here.

“You fools in the Third World got plenty on your plates to keep you busy for a very long time. You don’t need to be gettin’ all up in our business up in here.”
You’re right: All the stuff the world produces and sells to the USA is produced by 3rd world countries. Computers, TV sets, High Tech Machinery, German cars…
And the worst thing: they have the guts to demand PAYMENT!
What a bunch of parasites…

This independent will vote for Palin!
She is fantastic. Anyone who has watched her should be thrilled by her. You don’t see someone like her in politics. So people grab this chance and vote for her!

These forums really make interesting reads. And being non-partisan I can afford to make such comments.
And Yeah…We got plenty on our plates to keep us busy for a loooong time….

==Palin’s speech was hysterical.==
Hysterical is what Libs are this morning.
== The woman is obviuosly a wacko.==
We expect nothing less than that kinda statement from a Lib who is worried.
== She was for the Bridge to Nowhere before she was against it.==
With new information, she decided against it.
==She has no ideas for healthcare, the economy, the deficit, and no overall foreign policy credentials.==
Wrong.
== She only knows that community organizing is “not real work.”==
We ALL know that it is not executive work.
== Way to hit people who are trying to make their lives better.==
They aren’t executives either.

Looking back at the primaries there were no woman, african americans, or hispanics running for the repub. ticket.This is just to convenient. It seems like they are using her the way they did Katheryn Harris in Florida for the recount. i believe most people will see through this. She’s no Clinton either.

An artificial neural network can make the same/better decision compared to a human in the face of new information…You’ll probably need a person who makes right choices the first time..

==She’s no Clinton either.==
The powers of your observation are just astounding!

She’s the attack dog. Plain and simple. If people attack back the republicans will cry sexism. John McCain is basically hiding behind a woman and her children. Too bad that woman is plagued by scandal. The republicans did nothing but mock last night. Nothing they said is going to help anyone.

==If people work together, we can solve problems and make ourselves stronger.==
Ok, you go first.
==Standing up in a community, does not involve being a bully. It involves being wise and helpful.==
We’ve done that.
==To just not care what people thing [sic], so that harming others is acceptable, at it’s extreme is sociopathic and probably painful.==
We’re not ignorning what people think so that we can hurt them. We are ignorning what they think cuz they aren’t involved in this election. Our decision is our, not theirs.
==Besides.. conservatives are often capitalists..==
Socialists hate us.
==…and real capitalists avoid unnecessary war..==
“Unnecessary” according to whom?
==… because you can’t sell stuff to dead people. ==
Then, people should stop trying to hurt other people so we don’t have to stop them from hurting others. They oughta stop while it’s still up to them.

Explain why Levi Johnston shouldn’t be arrested as a pedophile.
How can she protect the country if she can’t protect her own kids from pedophiles?
This is his second child; the first was with a 13 year old girl. Even by Alaskan standards (which are very loose) that is a bit young.
Sick…. really sick… yea, we want her in the White House. Her and her husband are good evangelicals, and typical of the breed. But lets move on to other issues.
Her husband and daughter: is child #5 really Sarah’s? I don’ believe so after looking at family photos on the internet. The eldest daughter is the mother for sure, but is the father of that child Sarah’s husband? Let’s do a little DNA test.
Will she support states that wish to secede from the United States, since her and her husband were both in a party pushing to have Alaska secede from the Union?
Will she legalize pot since she smokes it herself?
Will she change her position and start supporting unwed mothers, particularly teens so they can finish an education through college?
Last night, this woman was pathetic. Nothing to say that was grounded in reality and less to say about solving our problems except continue the same old republican bull that has existed since Reagan and have proven a failure to all but the rich. What a joke on McCain by his own party.

basementfrog tries to be even funnier than Mr. Incredible. But he doesn’t succeed.

There’s no doubt who I’m voting for now after last night. What a skillful speaker. Plus, she has the prettiest VP candidate I’ve ever seen. And did you see her daughter, Bristol’s breasts? I mean, holy foshizzle! What are they triple D’s? Yum Yum!

Reasons Why I Cannot wait Another Minute for McCain and Palin to take Office;
1 – The war in Afghanistan and Iraq will soon include Iran and Pakistan and the US Military will buckle under the burden of our wars
2 – The middle class will cease to exist due to the failing economy, rising fuel and energy costs, lack of jobs and affordable housing and a lack of health care.
3 – American oil companies will start to lose money and profits as the economy tumbles and Americans can no longer drive cars or heat their homes (they won’t have homes anyway…).
4 – Our National Resources and preserves will be laid to waste in a failed effort to create jobs and opportunities for our failed economy.
5 – A total collapse of American banking and financial institutions due to the lack of any rational economic plans.
6 – An influx of wealthy foreign investors and immigrants, primarily from the Muslim world and China, that will snap up companies and real estate at below basement values, resulting in a total decay of American wealth, societal values and morality with the influx of foreign capital, culture and influence.
7 – The final failure of the medi-caid, welfare and social security institutions.
8 – How racism, segregation and hatred will take over Americans as they struggle to pin blame for the failed country and politics.
9 – How America will finally fall and anarchy will reign free and bold!
10 – All so I can say “I told you so” to all the people that think Republicans actually care about Americans. Because let’s face it; Republicans care only about America, not the people living in it.

CHECK THIS OUT, HIGHLIGHTS THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY—-
Dear friends,
So many people have asked me about what I know about Sarah Palin in the
last 2 days that I decided to write something up . . .
Basically, Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton have only 2 things in
common: their gender and their good looks.
You have my permission to forward this to your friends/email contacts
with my name and email address attached, but please do not post it on
any websites, as there are too many kooks out there . . .
[ This was already posted on Washington Independent comments area,
with a controllable hotmail account, and was obviously meant by the
author to be read. ]
Thanks,
Anne
ABOUT SARAH PALIN
I am a resident of Wasilla, Alaska. I have known Sarah since 1992.
Everyone here knows Sarah, so it is nothing special to say we are on a
first-name basis. Our children have attended the same schools. Her
father was my child’s favorite substitute teacher. I also am on a
first name basis with her parents and mother-in-law. I attended more
City Council meetings during her administration than about 99% of the
residents of the city.
She is enormously popular; in every way she’s like the most popular
girl in middle school. Even men who think she is a poor choice and
won’t vote for her can’t quit smiling when talking about her because
she is a “babe”.
It is astonishing and almost scary how well she can keep a secret. She
kept her most recent pregnancy a secret from her children and parents
for seven months.
She is “pro-life”. She recently gave birth to a Down’s syndrome baby.
There is no cover-up involved, here; Trig is her baby.
She is energetic and hardworking. She regularly worked out at the gym.
She is savvy. She doesn’t take positions; she just “puts things out
there” and if they prove to be popular, then she takes credit.
Her husband works a union job on the North Slope for BP and is a
champion snowmobile racer. Todd Palin’s kind of job is highly
sought-after because of the schedule and high pay. He arranges his
work schedule so he can fish for salmon in Bristol Bay for a month or
so in summer, but by no stretch of the imagination is fishing their
major source of income. Nor has her life-style ever been anything
like that of native Alaskans.
Sarah and her whole family are avid hunters.
She’s smart.
Her experience is as mayor of a city with a population of about 5,000
(at the time), and less than 2 years as governor of a state with about
670,000 residents.
During her mayoral administration most of the actual work of running
this small city was turned over to an administrator. She had been
pushed to hire this administrator by party power-brokers after she had
gotten herself into some trouble over precipitous firings which had
given rise to a recall campaign.
Sarah campaigned in Wasilla as a “fiscal conservative”. During her 6
years as Mayor, she increased general government expenditures by over
33%. During those same 6 years the amount of taxes collected by the
City increased by 38%. This was during a period of low inflation
(1996-2002). She reduced progressive property taxes and increased a
regressive sales tax which taxed even food. The tax cuts that she
promoted benefited large corporate property owners way more than they
benefited residents.
The huge increases in tax revenues during her mayoral administration
weren’t enough to fund everything on her wish list though, borrowed
money was needed, too. She inherited a city with zero debt, but left it
with indebtedness of over $22 million. What did Mayor Palin encourage
the voters to borrow money for? Was it the infrastructure that she said
she supported? The sewage treatment plant that the city lacked? or a
new library? No. $1m for a park. $15m-plus for construction of a
multi-use sports complex which she rushed through to build on a piece
of property that the City didn’t even have clear title to, that was
still in litigation 7 yrs later–to the delight of the lawyers
involved! The sports complex itself is a nice addition to the
community but a huge money pit, not the profit-generator she claimed it
would be. She also supported bonds for $5.5m for road projects that
could have been done in 5-7 yrs without any borrowing.
While Mayor, City Hall was extensively remodeled and her office
redecorated more than once.
These are small numbers, but Wasilla is a very small city.
As an oil producer, the high price of oil has created a budget surplus
in Alaska. Rather than invest this surplus in technology that will
make us energy independent and increase efficiency, as Governor she
proposed distribution of this surplus to every individual in the state.
In this time of record state revenues and budget surpluses, she
recommended that the state borrow/bond for road projects, even while
she proposed distribution of surplus state revenues: spend today’s
surplus, borrow for needs.
She’s not very tolerant of divergent opinions or open to outside ideas
or compromise. As Mayor, she fought ideas that weren’t generated by
her or her staff. Ideas weren’t evaluated on their merits, but on the
basis of who proposed them.
While Sarah was Mayor of Wasilla she tried to fire our highly respected
City Librarian because the Librarian refused to consider removing from
the library some books that Sarah wanted removed. City residents
rallied to the defense of the City Librarian and against Palin’s
attempt at out-and-out censorship, so Palin backed down and withdrew
her termination letter. People who fought her attempt to oust the
Librarian are on her enemies list to this day.
Sarah complained about the “old boy’s club” when she first ran for
Mayor, so what did she bring Wasilla? A new set of “old boys”. Palin
fired most of the experienced staff she inherited. At the City and as
Governor she hired or elevated new, inexperienced, obscure people,
creating a staff totally dependent on her for their jobs and eternally
grateful and fiercely loyal–loyal to the point of abusing their power
to further her personal agenda, as she has acknowledged happened in the
case of pressuring the State’s top cop (see below).
As Mayor, Sarah fired Wasilla’s Police Chief because he “intimidated”
her, she told the press. As Governor, her recent firing of Alaska’s top
cop has the ring of familiarity about it. He served at her pleasure
and she had every legal right to fire him, but it’s pretty clear that
an important factor in her decision to fire him was because he wouldn’t
fire her sister’s ex-husband, a State Trooper. Under investigation
for abuse of power, she has had to admit that more than 2 dozen
contacts were made between her staff and family to the person that she
later fired, pressuring him to fire her ex-brother-in-law. She tried to
replace the man she fired with a man who she knew had been reprimanded
for sexual harassment; when this caused a public furor, she withdrew
her support.
She has bitten the hand of every person who extended theirs to her in
help. The City Council person who personally escorted her around town
introducing her to voters when she first ran for Wasilla City Council
became one of her first targets when she was later elected Mayor. She
abruptly fired her loyal City Administrator; even people who didn’t
like the guy were stunned by this ruthlessness.
Fear of retribution has kept all of these people from saying anything
publicly about her.
When then-Governor Murkowski was handing out political plums, Sarah got
the best, Chair of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission: one
of the few jobs not in Juneau and one of the best paid. She had no
background in oil & gas issues. Within months of scoring this great
job which paid $122,400/yr, she was complaining in the press about the
high salary. I was told that she hated that job: the commute, the
structured hours, the work. Sarah became aware that a member of this
Commission (who was also the State Chair of the Republican Party)
engaged in unethical behavior on the job. In a gutsy move which some
undoubtedly cautioned her could be political suicide, Sarah solved all
her problems in one fell swoop: got out of the job she hated and
garnered gobs of media attention as the patron saint of ethics and as a
gutsy fighter against the “old boys’ club” when she dramatically quit,
exposing this man’s ethics violations (for which he was fined).
As Mayor, she had her hand stuck out as far as anyone for pork from
Senator Ted Stevens. Lately, she has castigated his pork-barrel
politics and publicly humiliated him. She only opposed the “bridge to
nowhere” after it became clear that it would be unwise not to.
As Governor, she gave the Legislature no direction and budget
guidelines, then made a big grandstand display of line-item vetoing
projects, calling them pork. Public outcry and further legislative
action restored most of these projects–which had been vetoed simply
because she was not aware of their importance–but with the unobservant
she had gained a reputation as “anti-pork”.
She is solidly Republican: no political maverick. The State party
leaders hate her because she has bit them in the back and humiliated
them. Other members of the party object to her self-description as a
fiscal conservative.
Around Wasilla there are people who went to high school with Sarah.
They call her “Sarah Barracuda” because of her unbridled ambition and
predatory ruthlessness. Before she became so powerful, very ugly
stories circulated around town about shenanigans she pulled to be made
point guard on the high school basketball team. When Sarah’s
mother-in-law, a highly respected member of the community and
experienced manager, ran for Mayor, Sarah refused to endorse her.
As Governor, she stepped outside of the box and put together of package
of legislation known as “AGIA” that forced the oil companies to march
to the beat of her drum.
Like most Alaskans, she favors drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife
Refuge. She has questioned if the loss of sea ice is linked to
global warming. She campaigned “as a private citizen” against a state
initiaitive that would have either a) protected salmon streams from
pollution from mines, or b) tied up in the courts all mining in the
state (depending on who you listen to). She has pushed the State’s
lawsuit against the Dept. of the Interior’s decision to list polar
bears as threatened species.
McCain is the oldest person to ever run for President; Sarah will be a
heartbeat away from being President.
There has to be literally millions of Americans who are more
knowledgeable and experienced than she.
However, there’s a lot of people who have underestimated her and are
regretting it.
CLAIM VS FACT
•“Hockey mom”: true for a few years
•“PTA mom”: true years ago when her first-born was in elementary
school, not since
•“NRA supporter”: absolutely true
•social conservative: mixed. Opposes gay marriage, BUT vetoed a bill
that would have denied benefits to employees in same-sex relationships
(said she did this because it was unconsitutional).
•pro-creationism: mixed. Supports it, BUT did nothing as Governor to
promote it.
•“Pro-life”: mixed. Knowingly gave birth to a Down’s syndrome baby
BUT declined to call a special legislative session on some pro-life
legislation
•“Experienced”: Some high schools have more students than Wasilla has
residents. Many cities have more residents than the state of Alaska.
No legislative experience other than City Council. Little hands-on
supervisory or managerial experience; needed help of a city
administrator to run town of about 5,000.
•political maverick: not at all
•gutsy: absolutely!
•open & transparent: ??? Good at keeping secrets. Not good at
explaining actions.
•has a developed philosophy of public policy: no
•”a Greenie”: no. Turned Wasilla into a wasteland of big box stores
and disconnected parking lots. Is pro-drilling off-shore and in ANWR.
•fiscal conservative: not by my definition!
•pro-infrastructure: No. Promoted a sports complex and park in a city
without a sewage treatment plant or storm drainage system. Built
streets to early 20th century standards.
•pro-tax relief: Lowered taxes for businesses, increased tax burden on
residents
•pro-small government: No. Oversaw greatest expansion of city
government in Wasilla’s history.
•pro-labor/pro-union. No. Just because her husband works union
doesn’t make her pro-labor. I have seen nothing to support any claim
that she is pro-labor/pro-union.
WHY AM I WRITING THIS?
First, I have long believed in the importance of being an informed
voter. I am a voter registrar. For 10 years I put on student voting
programs in the schools. If you google my name (Anne Kilkenny +
Alaska), you will find references to my participation in local
government, education, and PTA/parent organizations.
Secondly, I’ve always operated in the belief that “Bad things happen
when good people stay silent”. Few people know as much as I do because
few have gone to as many City Council meetings.
Third, I am just a housewife. I don’t have a job she can bump me out
of. I don’t belong to any organization that she can hurt. But, I am no
fool; she is immensely popular here, and it is likely that this will
cost me somehow in the future: that’s life.
Fourth, she has hated me since back in 1996, when I was one of the 100
or so people who rallied to support the City Librarian against Sarah’s
attempt at censorship.
Fifth, I looked around and realized that everybody else was afraid to
say anything because they were somehow vulnerable.
CAVEATS
I am not a statistician. I developed the numbers for the increase in
spending & taxation 2 years ago (when Palin was running for Governor)
from information supplied to me by the Finance Director of the City of
Wasilla, and I can’t recall exactly what I adjusted for: did I adjust
for inflation? for population increases? Right now, it is impossible
for a private person to get any info out of City Hall–they are
swamped. So I can’t verify my numbers.
You may have noticed that there are various numbers circulating for the
population of Wasilla, ranging from my “about 5,000″, up to 9,000. The
day Palin’s selection was announced a city official told me that the
current population is about 7,000. The official 2000 census count was
5,460. I have used about 5,000 because Palin was Mayor from 1996 to
2002, and the city was growing rapidly in the mid-90’s.

Mr. Incredible, man, you ROCK!
Those Libs are SO toast. If it weren’t for them the housing market and employment would be up, inflation would be down, and gas would probably be $2 a gallon. Oh yeah, and the Iraq war would have been over YEARS ago.
Thanks for defending Values and Country, dude, it’s only a matter of time before more Americans see through all the Lib LIES and follow your awesomely mature example.
Rock on, my brother!

OK, the Republicans pushed the family button by using Sarah’s family as a publicity stunt. But that doesn’t mean that we now get to attack the kids or make hysterical accusations.
No one can prove for certain that the Down syndrome baby is really Bristol’s or that her father has been having sexual relations with her since she was 9.
That’s just off limits here! Besides, things are different in Alaska.

Here’s the real problem everyone seems to be missing here;
McCain/Palin are the Republican ticket, Obama/Biden the Democratic ticket!!!
The real candidates should have been Clinton vs Romney.
No matter who wins now, we are all going to be in a sinking boat together! The next president, regardless of party will be a single term only and the “other” party will take over for the second term.
This means 4 more years of failure and disaster, which only gets worse when allowed to fester.
The candidates are all fine people. Those voting for them need to be checked into the sanatorium…
Brace for impact America!

Afghanistan: not as peep.
Pakistan: mum.
Health Care: nada.
Education: *birds chirping*
Housing Crisis: *pin dropping*
But ooh boy can she Obama bash. She trotted out every tired wingnut stereotype of liberals in the book. And for good measure she suggested that there is something wrong with serving communities in need. Obama will be smart not to get into a debate over whether helping people to help themselves makes him more qualified than serving as mayor of a city that basically ran on federal earmarks. He’d win that debate, but it’s a distraction from the issues and as Rick Davis admitted distracting people from the issues is the entire McCain campaign plan.

As a Independent supporting many Republicans downticket and Obama for President, I think the Dems can breathe a sigh of relief. Sarah Palin gave a decent speech but gave me no confidence that she is competant to be commander and chief.
Also, selecting Palin – someone McCain and Americans hardly know at all with no foreign policy experience AND no national policy experience makes it clear they are BOTH to Mavericky for my taste. Also, she and McCain are blatantly lying over and over again – not just about Obama’s record but about her own.
No thanks I’ve had enough of a Maverick administration that goes with their gut and then lies to make there case (Cheney/Bush).
No way in H E double-hockey sticks I’m voting for McCain and the pit bull with lipstick.

“Uggghhh lord knows I am not a big Obama fan, but I thew up a little yesterday watching this. There was no inspiring message about how to lift yourself up. It was all fire and brimestone, the republicans truly looked like the devil.”
I think I pooped myself laughing while reading this idiot’s post.

Sarah Palin reminds me of the woman puking cherries in the film, Witches of Eastwick.
Hey all you “liberals”… don’t be distracted by the Republican strategy [their only strategy] of hurling adolescent insults to preoccupy actual adults who take politics seriously as adults should. These are the little children of the world we all need to coddle; apparently they didn’t get enough love in their born-again values homes. Loving people don’t behave in these ways. Referring to themselves as Christians is as false as referring to them as adults. Christians don’t exploit their babies. Strong people [much less strong women] who are authentically strong don’t act macho.
Really, what we’re dealing with here is people with low emotional IQ’s. The dizzying lack of maturity displayed by the Republican choir is appalling. I think we’re all just a bit stunned by just how adolescent the behaviors are. We all just have to begin treating Republicans as children. And herd them like the sheep they are into to day-care centers for the chronically immature. Booing, hissing, mocking, ridiculing is the sign of deep insecurity, low self-esteem, and ultimately arrested development; they should be considered as patients in a ward, not as adversaries, or competitors.
“Drill baby drill?” Are you kidding me?
Off to a great start? Sarah Palin started out with flat out lies. She took the money Republicans. If you actually read, you’d know the truth versus hearing the lies you’re told by your own people.
And the press did not make up anything about the vetting process, or lack thereof; so typical of Republicans, to say “ we won’t say anything else about the vetting process” because the press is lying? No. The vetting process [or lack thereof] was exactly described by the press. It’s just the same old same old Republican hocus-pocus to throw anyone in front of the bus to avoid the truth [including his or her own – so watch out staunch conservatives. You may feel like a member of the team now, who inflates your low self-esteem, but you’re actually being laughed at by the Karl Roves, gullible little people that you are].
Republicans actually believe the lies their candidates tell them. This is really the joke of it all. Karl Rove is playing his own people. Images of Tammy Baker and Jimmy Swaggert come to mind; a comical display of falsehoods, a gross caricature, and you buy it, gullible little toddlers that you are. Hook line and sinker.
What is wrong with Republican’s? They’re sick, really, really sick people, and the frightening part is, they don’t realize. We all need to realize this.
“Liberal” means loving, intelligent, benevolent, erotic, relevant, altruistic, and literate. Thank you.
Conservative means, under a neurotic fantasy of being Christian while displaying all signs of being hateful, hurtful, and exploitive, lacking all capacity to have aesthetic, and being terrified of self-knowledge.
Attacks on “Liberals”, are just attacks on yourselves, seeing the reflection of what you wish you were, of who you know you should and could be, of seeing all that you lack, and all that you know deep down inside as true.
Left leaning media? Elitist? Come on people. I know you are more intelligent than this.

I beleive the people who are dissing me read the wrong post the the statement about biden is from the poster below me

“Would you look at this! This is posted by dEvil, seems like there is only one thing left for us to encounter…….
The AntiCrist.”
=Posted by: Heavenly One | Sep 4, 2008 12:48:31 PM=
People are the AntiChrist! Don’t you get it yet???

As watching the debate last night I just got so upset. I noticed at the end of the debate a little girl tugging at her pant leg just to be shown some attention while her mother paraded on the stage.

Thank you, Gov. Palin for making it very clear that electing the ticket with you on it will definitely be asking for 4 more years of the nastiness, divisiveness, and lack of policy that we’ve had for the last 8 ………. with even less competence! It always seemed that Sen. McCain was a little different, more authentic and willing to work to solve problems. It’s very clear, however, that you are NO different than Bush and Cheyney. Thanks for clarifying matters.

Hey Collin….LEAVE YOU WITH TWO THOUGHTS…ZERO AND DRILL BABY DRILL!!!! LOVE THE SMELL OF PANIC IN THE MORNING…

I guess the McCain camp thinks Palin can’t write her own speech.
Talk about sexist…

Sounds to me like Uncle Joe has it just about right- a decent speech, capably delivered. But not what the McCain campaign needs now.
Here’s what I saw- a speech that could have been delivered by, for example,a San Diego School Board member, a theo-con with an axe to grind with the “liberal” policies that Obama and Biden will espouse once in office.
In sum, a lightweight political hack, doing what she does best- bullying other PTA moms into submission,relying on the few flimsy stitches of scripture that all such people fall back on at the end of the day.
A sociopathic personality disorder, believing in the same messianic vision that guides the current leader of the free world, with a firm and unshakable belief that might makes right, and
perfectly wiling to make war on all those godless Muslims!
YAY!!!!
What the rapublicans have done is to reverse the order of Bush/Cheney, sith the warmongering neo-con at the top of the ticket, and the lightweight theo-con at the bottom.
They are going to end the rapublican lock on power for the next two generations, just as Hoover did in the thirties, by ignoring the handwriting of the prophets, writ large on the subway walls.
…. and good riddance!

rachel..It seems to be prevalent on these types of sites whether your conservative or liberal the opposing side want to do as much damage as possible which includes using your name for the benefit of their agenda..I try to stick to facts that I can source..enough with the slams TALK POLICY. WE ALL HAVE TO LIVE WITH THE POLICY CHANGES AND NOT THE CANDIDATES FAMILIES ETC…

I’m satisfied that Obama/Biden are disciplined and well focused on the real issues that face us. They have a plan and they are executing on it with some percission. It’s too soon to tell whether Palin/McCain can demonstrate substance. We’ll just have to wait and see. But if the election were held today, my vote would go to Obama/Biden and not Palin/McCain.

Good for Joe but I am still voting for Nader/Gonzalez.
More than anything else the media is responsible for the rise and fall of Obama.

Nice speech, Sarah. Seems like Karl Rove is still pulling the strings on the Republican puppets. Hey, here’s an idea: why don’t the Republicans make Karl Rove their nominee and get rid of McCain and the hockey mom? O’Bama and Biden have real plans, and are the only hope to restore our country for all citizens, and for the broader world community.

Perhaps part of it is the inevitability of universal suffrage resulting in the “working class” voting themselves an ever increasing share of someone else’s money. There were good reasons the “Founding Fathers” had the Senate elected indirectly, and limited the civic franchise to landed, literate people. It is politically incorrect now to advocate a return to the status quo ante, and indeed the genie has escaped from the bottle.

how can any american actually say they are ok with a vp candidate by just a speech? she won’t even go on the sunday morning show’s. she could be president in january if mccain get’s sick again. people go to college for years to learn how is she going to learn about domestic and foreign policy in a few months. obama may not have as much experience as biden or mccain, but he has faced the media and america for 18 months and is still standing and can go up against anyone on domestic and foreign policy.

Mr. incredible, you really are incredible. Us Liberals here in the great state of Washington know exactly what do to with little boys like yourself. We’re gun totin’ killers too, baby! See, I grew up in the midwest, and all my old pals are all hunters, bow hunters, real hunters, and we, I, used to beat little boys like you down like the punks you are, harassing women and intelligent people the way you do. You social conservative republicans have it all wrong; see, we’re the new liberal agents of change. We don’t have to capitalize our letters to intimidate people.

Right on, HH!!

This woman is embarrassing. I voted for Hillary because I wanted to one day tell my children that I voted for a woman to be president. This woman is proud to kill animals and her naive teenaged daughter is so stupid that she posted pictures of herself drinking alcohol with her hillbilly friends online. But who cares about her redneck family, who cares about her opinion of Obama, who cares about her opinion at all? Americans want to know how our next president and vp are going to give us our lives back….how are they going to balance our budget so that China doesn’t own 3 trillion dollars of our economy. What about health care for my elderly parents? What about our veterans and their families who suffer from war & mental illness? Do they even care what we want and deserve to know about their plan? The people who back them have to be the most ignorant Americans that just regurgitate their stupidity and stay defensive and negative. The stock market plummeted today and one of Bush’s cronies got prison time today. Let’s see if McCain has an explanation for that or if he’ll bump his gums like all these other Republican bozos.

read through these posts…. what you see among the McCain/Palin fans is their self-possessed anger and venom directed at the snobby liberal spineless dems such as this comment “Snooty libs got reason to worry…now we begin their demolition”
Bush the 4th generation blue blood, Yale grad (thanks to daddy), Maine coast boater with silver spoon= common man because of his learning disability and inability to construct a sentence. Palin unlike Bush=belligerent red neck who did not grow up with silver spoon. Smooth talker. Nice smile. Genuine screwed up family like the rest of us. But do any of you angry Rush Limbaugh fans really think this anti-science, creationist is really fit to sit in that white house and meet with world leaders just because she is a great attack dog? Her policies and ideas speak to an intellectual range as deep as the current “decider” in the white house. Do you angry people realize it is not about showing the liberals how screwed up they are. I don’t want my friends, mother or anyone in the whitehouse who is not only streetsmart as Palin is, but is seriously smart…someone that reads lots of books and reads history and reads about the rest of the world.. and know history. NOne of you celebrity addicted republicans are believable after Peggy Noonan’s open MIC gaffe on sept 3 2008. That says it all. She writes a column in the AM saying how great Palin is, and then 5 hours later she is telling the world (unknowingly) that the Palin is the demise of the ticket and that the Republican’s could have done better. Here is what she said unwittingly to the open MIC: Asked if Palin is the most qualified Republican woman to be McCain’s running mate, Noonan replied: “The most qualified? No. I think they went for this, excuse me, political bullshit about narratives and [inaudible] the picture.”"Every time the Republicans do that, because that’s not where they live and it’s not what they’re good at, and they blow it.
Added Murphy: “You know what’s really the worst thing about it? The greatness of McCain is no cynicism, and this is cynical.”
Such hypocrisy says it all (google noonan palin and you can read all the details)

Mrs Pain has in her own way told us all we need to know about her program.
She is a pit bull with lipstuck and proud of it.
She’ll soon learn that in the lower 48 we strictly enforce leash laws in our more populous zones, not to mention proof of rabies vaccination.

Carol, that is the problem with Washington, any one trying to take a bite out of some good ole boy corrupt ways gets threaten by people as yourself. Also, I do not know where you are from but I believe Alaska is one of the 50 United States. Are you an elitist or a radical?

It is not a laughing matter but I just can not believe how many self righteous people are posting about every one else faults and the rock throwing. When will people learn not to throw rocks in a glass house. Go look in a mirror and tell that person all of his/her faults in that life’s immediate surroundings and decisions and take the ridicule that you put on others. When will people learn not to throw rocks in a glass house.

Gee, as long as we’re talkin’ about secession…
Did you know that NObama supported a bill by Hawaii U.S. Senator Akaka that Akaka admitted could have let Hawaii secede from the Union, hmmmm:

In the following tidbit, where it tells us who supported the bill, it says that Clinton and NObama did:
