Change Tug-O-War Continues on Campaign Trail

Love that Guy!

How to Tell Obama’s in Trouble
“Sunday Biden says life begins at conception. Over the weekend Obama said he’ll not rescind the Bush tax cuts if the economy remained in trouble. Earlier on O’Reilly he said the surge did work.
Backtracking on the surge, taxes and abortion. Hmm. Next thing you know Obama and Biden will start campaigning in red open-toed shoes and frameless glasses.”
- Clarice Feldman, American Thinker Blog

LightSeeker…and, to add to your comments, Obama basically admitted this weekend with George S. that he is a Muslim after all….talk about flip-flopping!
McCain/Palin 08!
“Country First!”

Obama is going to trip over his own tongue during one of the interviews.

NEWSFLASH! THIS JUST IN:
McCAIN IS ACCUSED OF THEFT!
Apparently still reeling from being caught stealing no less than 12,000 US flags from the Democrats in an overnight pillaging raid recently, now authorities are revealing more theft complaints involving McCain and his personal entourage.
As if purloining 12,000 flags and blaming it on local Boy Scouts wasn’t enough, McCain now stands accused of stealing a copy of Gideon’s bible from a hotel in Minneapolis during his stay there for the convention earlier this week.
Hotel employees gave a list of several items missing from the Hotel after McCain stayed there, including the Bible. Other missing items included three cocktail glasses, an ice bucket, several bars of soap, three rolls of toilet paper and those tiny little ketchup and mustard bottles.
Boy Scouts den mothers also expressed their dismay given the recent circumstances surrounding the wild accusations that somehow Boy Scouts were wandering the Invesco Arena area during the late hours after the DNC Convention and had stumbled upon 12,000 US flags, which they were then alleged to have stolen and having fenced in Minneapolis to the RNC. “I am shocked” said one mother. “Little Jimmy is home by sunset and tucked in by 8:30 every night, including weekends”.
“These Bibles are no longer free to steal” said the Hotel manager anonymously for fear of scurrilous reprisals by Republican fanatics. “It clearly states on the inside cover that you have to send away now for a free copy of the Gideon’s Bible” exclaimed the Hotel manager.
“You can’t just go willy-nilly taking things as if you own the world” the manager added. “I hear he was illegally downloading music off the internet last month to use in his TV commercials to bash the Democrats.”
Apparently McCain has long suffered from a rare disorder called “Hotel Kleptomania” stemming all the way back to his days in the Hanoi Hilton, where staff still insist he would take spoons, which have not been accounted for to this day. McCain still holds a grudge against the Hiltons, recently implicating young Paris Hilton in one of his regular tirades about Barack Obama, his staunch Democratic rival for the presidency.
The Hiltons were not available for comment, but a spokesperson for the Hotel chain said that McCain has been blacklisted from staying at their hotels since the early 70s due to missing items whenever he would stay at one of their hotels.
This is just one more blow to the McCain camp, still reeling from theft accusations including stealing Barack Obama’s political campaign theme and message as well, a message of change and reform. “We knew he had taken the message”, as did several witnesses who spotted McCain, Washington insider and veteran politician for a quarter century, spouting the term change and reform where several members of the American public were gathered.
One witness said he knew McCain had stolen Obama’s message when he heard McCain having tremendous difficulty pronouncing the word “change”. “It sounded so strange coming from Mr. McCain that you could readily see he was unfamiliar with the concept or how to pronounce the word” said one eye witness. A local panhandler handed McCain a dollar, thinking McCain was begging for a hand out. “I just felt sorry for the guy” said the homeless man, he kept saying “change”.
Mr. Obama stated that “This is a sad day for all Americans” and lamented that McCain really had no message or content of his own to use for his campaign. Mr. Obama volunteered to donate his political message and theme to McCain just as soon as he was finished with them, after November 6th.
Democratic supporters feeling bad for poor McCain have started a campaign and are mailing McCain their loose change.

david from texas, you ignorant redneck. SHUT UP already…I’m sure you’re a pig who is struggling to make ends meet, but your ignorant chip will let you vote for McCain anyway.
In the end…all you saying Obama will lose…NO, YOU WILL, because in the end, Obama will go back to the Senate and work for his Illinois state but you’ll get stuck with an OLD politician who comes from the party that fools you into voting for them…and you get nothing in return…hence the last 8 years…but too bad, that’s what you get for being ingorant.

CHANGE we can believe in is the Democratic ticket. Change we can make up and try to create boogey men you should fear is the Republican way of Karl Rove. I will vote for and support the candidate who has done great work for me and my fellow veterans Barack Obama. Mc Same was against even the GI Bill and is seen as a downer by his fellow veterans America. Go to you Tube and search POW and Mc Cain and see what his cell mate tells you about if you should trust Mc War and his temperament. OBAMA BIDEN YES WE CAN! Nothing to fear but fear itself and that is what the Republicans do is try and create fear. No Way No How No Mc Cain Palin.

Obama has been spending so much money in this race that can only be matched by his lies and hypocrisies. If McCain wins the Presidency, I hope he picked Obama to be on his Cabinate to be an entertainer czar.

John: is this Quran deal another of the talking points lies that the boys at the trailer give to you to spread on the Internet. Another damn lie posting. Want to see some real extreme religion in action watch your pit bull with lipstick and the words out of ther pastor and her own mouth at the assemblys of God in Wassilla. Karl Roves tactics worked the last time but I believe America is on to your divide and smear until you make it tactics. Go obama Go.

These daily polls mean nothing but who people will likely vote for. It’s a popular vote. The electoral vote is the one that counts though. I think it will come down to 2 or 3 states that will determine the presidency. And I don’t think anyone can predict who that will be right now.

David From Texas
Yet another moron from the Republican side talking stupid!!!! First of all your friend had 8 years for thier rob from the middle class and give to the Rich Scheme to hatch…and it worked perfectly!!!Cheny’s secret energy meeting with Enron and the oil companies got them the oil profits they wanted…It got Halliburton the Blood money of over 4400 American kids for their robbing middle class American tax payers of over 2 trillion dollars in 7 years…It destroyed the housing market due to friends laying waste to the banking industry due to the Republican push for deregulation that led to lack of oversight which led to collaspe of Fannie Mae…and after all that David from Texas says that is not enough!!!! IF COWARD,LIAR,AND TRAITOR JOHN MCSAME GETS ELECTED THAT WILL BE THE END OF AMERICA THE SAME TRAITOR THAT AFTER BEING “BROKEN” BY THE VIETCONG MADE 25 ANTI AMERICAN PROPOGANDA MESSAGES FOR THE VIETCONG WHOSE NAME FOR MCSAME WAS SONGBIRD, MCSAME WHO BEING A COWARD CHOSE TO STAY IN VEITNAM RATHER THAN BE RELEASED WITH OTHER COWARD SNITCHES AND FACE HUMILIATION AT HOME ..WHO TAKES IN HIS CAMPAIGN THE SAME PEOPLE WHO SMEARED HIM AND HIS WIFE TO RUN HIS PITIFUL CAMPAIGN AND WHO PICKS YUKON BARBIE WHO CAN”T EVEN RUN HER OWN F***CKED UP FAMILY LET ALONE THE COUNTRY AND MCSWINE WON’T EVEN TAKE THE MUZZLE OFF HIS B***TCHES MOUTH HE’S SO SCARED SHE WILL SHOW WHAT A LYING HYPOCRITE SHE REALLY IS!!!!!!!!!

Senator Obama has one big mouth which he has been running from day one but absolutely no real answers to our problems. His senate district lost 11% of the jobs while he was in control. He is a socialist/communist/Marxist to the very core. He does not represent decent Americans at all, only those who are expecting more free hand-outs.
McCain/Palin in November. Vote for decency, not killing babies.

CindyMcCainIsALoser: I think your smoking what Obama is. Cindy McCain would never spend 300,000 on an outfit and that was not on the news. Did you see the sales receipt. And if she does wear expensive clothes what difference does it make to you. Her father left her that money and she can do what she wants with it. Her suit probably cost no more than about 1,000.00 or 1,500.00 Hillary’s pantsuits are very expensive however I think they might not cost over 1,000.00 or 1,500.00. Don’t get jealous because Cindy is rich and your not.

Cindy McCain
Oscar de la Renta dress: $3,000
Chanel J12 White Ceramic Watch: $4,500
Three-carat diamond earrings: $280,000
Four-strand pearl necklace: $11,000–$25,000
Shoes, designer unknown: $600
Total: Between $299,100 and $313,100

CindyMcCainIsALoser: I think your the one that’s stupid. You lost it somewhere. And you are bitterly jealous of Cindy McCain. Why don’t your get yourself a job that pays over $100,000 a year or find a rich man that you can use for his money then you can buy those outfits too.

How do you say with a straight face, that you’re for change, when you want to continue Bush’s policies? McCain is committing political fraud.

David From Texas – You are getting ready to get nailed, literally, by Hurricane Ike. Hurricanes are getting stronger and stronger and McCain has chosen a VP who does not believe in the science of global warming or climate change. Secondly, I told you last night I would pray for you at your request despite some of your not-so-respectful post. My family lost so much in Katrina and I pray you never have to endure what many in my family did. Here is what McCain offered post-Katrina:
On August 29, 2005, when Hurricane Katrina blasted New Orleans in the early morning hours, McCain spent the day celebrating his birthday with President Bush at a resort in Arizona. That night McCain appeared on the comedy show Late Night With Conan O’Brien.
• In the aftermath of the New Orleans disaster, McCain did not visit New Orleans until seven months later in March 2006. McCain’s decision to go to New Orleans came two days after an embarrassing article was published in a Capitol Hill newsletter pointing out he was the only one of six senators who were running for president who had not visited the city.
• In September 2005 McCain cautioned his Senate colleagues about spending too much on Katrina recovery efforts: “We’re going to end up with the highest deficit, probably, in the history of this country.”
• In September 2005 and February 2006 McCain voted against establishing a commission to look into the federal government failures in its Katrina disaster relief efforts.
• In September 2005 McCain voted against a proposal to extend unemployment benefits for Katrina victims from 26 weeks to 52 weeks.
• In September 2005 McCain voted against an amendment offered by Senator Joe Biden to provide emergency funding for victims of Hurricane Katrina.
• In October 2005 McCain voted against establishing an investigation into fraud and waste in Katrina recovery efforts.
• In November 2005 McCain voted against a bill that would have permitted uninsured Katrina victims five months of coverage under the federal government’s Medicaid program for low-income families.
• In February 2008 McCain traveled to Texas to receive the endorsement of Pastor John Hagee. In 2005, speaking on National Public Radio, Hagee said, “I believe that New Orleans had a level of sin that was offensive to God and they are recipients of the judgment of God.”
• In June 2008 McCain said, “I’ve supported every investigation into Katrina.” His September 2005 and February 2006 votes, detailed above, show this is not true.
McCain’s consistent opposition to disaster relief is not limited to Hurricane Katrina. In 2006 McCain opposed a last-minute amendment to legislation that would have provided $1.9 million for flood relief in Hawaii. McCain said at the time, “My constituents live in Arizona. A lot of us are getting sick and tired of this, sick and tired. Earlier, in 2001, McCain opposed an amendment to allocate $7.5 billion in recovery funds for areas damaged by the September 11 terrorist attacks.

BlackChurchMember: Obama did not like this country and neither did Michelle. She just started to like it now. Who are you kidding? Even if that pastor was a marine he preaches the wrong message and you and Obama know it. I love this country, was born and raised her and don’t tell me that pastor loves this country. It was all over the news what he was preaching and it wasn’t the gospel.

Yawn… I don’t think you will sway any votes with that crap. Keep spewing it hard though — I think you alienate the independents.
I will be laughing at you so hard in novemeber!

Enron Part Deux: Obama To Amend Report On $800,000 In Spending
http://www.postchronicle.com/cgi-bin/artman/exec/view.cgi?archive=85&num=167098

Nose Better: And I think you got a screw loose somewhere. Reagan was old like McCain when he won the presidency. And Palin can throw rings around Obama and Biden. I can[t wait until the debate between Biden and Palin. Obama spent all that money for his acceptance speech only to find out McCain and Palin had more viewer’s than him. Now McCain is leading him in the polls and Hillary is not going to change that. Palin will see to that. She is very very popular and Obama right now don’t know what to do.

Anyone remember Keating5 — when McCain took bribes to not regulate savings and loans — then they crashed leaving the taxpayers out 40 billion bucks ?
McCain is just another crooked bush.

If you really believe your candidate will win you can double your money by betting at intrade.com
Right now odds are pretty close to 50/50. Obama is up a bit though. But if you really believe in McCain…
JUST SHUT UP AND PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS

Really? Erica. I’m neither Rep nor Dem. I Listen to both Maddow and Hannity.
I didnt’ see Maddow tonight, but I heard her show last friday and she was very clear that Palin’s kids were not fair targets. Granted she’s a leftie. But last I heard her speak, she didnt’ go after the kids. If that has changed, I’d like to see the quotes from the transcript. Show me that quote.

Erica,
You go girl!!
Sarah will Bomb them all back the to the Stone Age and then we’ll ALL be uneducated!!!

McCain must really think we are all stupid if he thinks we are going to buy his new message of change… like we havent’ heard that Obama has been sayng this for a year. And like we havent’ noticed that he supports all of bush’s policies — he even says he does. So how is that change?

I love Rachael Maddow too. I’m so glad she got her own show. Strange though, I didn’t hear her say that about Palin.

Spin is one thing, but I can’t remember seeing an election where the Republican candidates so blatantly and repeatedly lie.

Turns out
Palin is Canadian!

kitty has shown she knows nothing about how our government works
yea all the terrible policies in iraq are bidens fault… bush, mccain and d cheney had NOTHING to do with it… it was the democrats
lol…
kitty vote mccain which is what you want to do… but dont come here and act like you are coming up with real zingers or some amazing insight when your insight is moronic

New polls 50% for McCAIN/PALIN
46% for Obama/Biden
DNC gets exactly what it deserves…
They nominated the wrong candidate…
Democrats voting Republican again
this year……
Americans vore for president with
certain values regardless party….
Religion,guns,low taxes,small government
are the issues for mainstream voters…
JOHN McCAIN/SARAH PALIN ’08

I have not heard Obama criticize his democrat congress. It has to be all Bush.

Obiden fails to recognize that he has been there longer than John McCain, and he knows very well that McCain is not like George Bush. He has called him a friend that he would support, along with other glowing appraisals. If Joe Biden has been there 36 years to John McCain’s 26 years, how come Joe did not produce noteworthy change? McCain has not been afraid to take courageous stands against Bush, his own Party, or the status quo. Obiden must really be nervous to hear the other side talk about real change and putting country first. It is about time!
Many of us are going to do just what John McCain has done many times very courageously in standing for what is right. It is not Party first this time. It is country first!
How quickly the change artist and his newly found friend get uptight and excited because someone is using their word. This is really funny! Two fellow Senators who have had golden opportunities to make change already, wasted some golden opportunities. Stop using that word already! It’s a joke!

georgia if McCain is not like Bush then why would he agree with him over 90% of the time. And he just made it party first by chosing Palin. He was pandering to the conservatives to get their votes. Do you honestly believe that McCain feels she would be the best to take over as president. I question his judgement with this one.

Obama the ‘man child’ had a tantrum yesterday blasting John McCain for choosing Sarah Palin. The sheer audacity of McCain stealing the man child’s hope – shame on you John!. My prediction: watch Joe Biden repackaged in drag, heels, and lipstic as Joeline Biden. Thats change you can believe in.

for all the obama basher, repub genital riders… these polls mean nothing… the electoral college right now shows that obama is enjoying a safe lead… that’s what counts… so roll ur tongues back in your mouths!!!

they are not all stupid in that sense! a lot of them would rather vote for known
failure,debt and dispare rather than seea black man as presidentof the USA. this is obvious to anyone who is not retarded.

The other word for Obama’s CHANGE is SOCIALISM. Take from those who have and give to those who are to lazy to work.

Just curious why is the scrutiny of Palin a VP nominee so much greater than for Obama (Presidential nominee)?

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
All I know is I sure want to scrutinize her more – a lot more!
I am also waiting for the new book expose of the month club edition to hit the stands next month – You know, the one where Abramoff carves McCain a new rectum, serving him up on a platter.
Should be scandalously delicious! Yummy on both counts!

Obama threw his “change” mantra out the window when he picked Biden, a guy who has been forever in the Senate….a politics as usual guy. Any Democrate could have run on change, and I guess because his skin color has got him this far….that is change.
But real CHANGE will be McCain and Palin….Mavericks, Reformers!
Just what this country has been waiting for….McCain who has no ego and wants a bipartisan cabinet….DEMS and Reps, working for $1 a year…NO MORE SPENDING….HE WILL REAVEAL THE NAMES OF PORK BARREL EAR MARKS.
McCain/Palin…all the way to the WH!

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Debra,
Mavericks suck, or didn’t you know that?!?
As for change, I think you need to change those panties of yours – starting to smell ripe around here.

Socialism?
Who’s Socialism are we talking about?
Socialism for the rich or the poor?
Who gets the best of police and fire protection. Who gets the wright off for child care? Who gets the 401Ks and the tax wright off? Who’s streets, sidewalks are better maintained? Who’s zoning ordinances are in forced better? Who has more influence in Government? Who has health care and who doesn’t? Don’t try and tell me that we don’t all pay for it. One way or the other we do through higher taxes or prices on way or the other we all pay for it.

I don’t know about you but I kind of liked being lied to, my money and my kids’ money blown, cheated on, screwed, uneducated, and finally, made to think that I’m a worthless piece of crap.
I think I want more.

For those of you that really know me, please allow me to speak in tongues.
“Kei likpou tri bdnugm aoid wpqom doaejo!”
I just know a GOP Vote can translate that because it’s God’s plan that I get elected President. Oops, I mean Vice-President.

Now that the Democrats are rabidly attacking Sarah Palin over the Alaskan Ketchikan bridge, claiming she lied about shutting down the project, it might be a good moment to point out that both Barack Obama and Joe Biden voted for the Bridge to Nowhere.
Now that Alaska is front and center in the news again, it is a good time to catch up on a favorite story, The Bridge to Nowhere, using the Washington Post US Congress Votes Database.
Though Gov. Palin originally supported the earmark spending on the Ketchikan bridge (“to nowhere), she eventually killed the project, chosing to spend Federal money on other infrasturcture programs.
However, Sen. Biden and Sen. Obama voted for funding the Bridge, even when given a second chance by Sen. Tom Coburn, who proposed shifting earmark funds to Katrina relief.

McCain/Palin should adopt the “Real Change” motto. That way, like how Obama/Biden steal and enhance others’ speeches then claim them as their own without any rhetoric, so can McCain, YES HE CAN! See libs, how easy that is? CHANGE just a little bit of something and it becomes yours.
“REAL CHANGE”
“YES HE CAN” McCAIN/Palin 08!!!
We have the babe!!!!

You know, it’s like you get this fresh face from a pristeen place like Alaska; someone who isn’t your trashy politician and has REAL hopes and dreams and a SINCERE love and respect for God & Country, then she has to deal with the trash from the trashy media in the lower 48 who just spin the truth out into oblivion. I’m pretty ashamed about that; too bad the media has no conscience.
I’m sure we’ll also never hear, in the mainstream lower 48 state trash media, about how Biden & Obama voted in favor of Hawaiian succession. HAHAHAHAHA – Sarah wasn’t even in the AIP, yet she was called a “successionist” and THEY voted to let Hawaii do it if they wanted to.

Please, more from ‘This Just In’. Why is this great journalist buried in a blog? Someone finally explained Bush-McCain’s kind of ‘change’ so that all of us suffering cognative dissonance since last Wednesday can understand.
Perhaps he (or she) can also explain the Coming of the missing Blessed ‘Mocking’ Virgin eleven days. I thought we were all waiting for the Messiah who is alleged to belong to the other Party.
The Flunkie from Texas can tell us where she is hiding until she gets some ‘Respect’ (her new stolen theme song).
He has learned his mantra well: keep tax money where in belongs–in the hands of our rich ruling class so they can pay his salary to defend them from taxes.
As to Cindy’s $300,000+ outfit, she was robbed.
Not to worry, plenty more inherited Mafia money.
If it runs out, there is always a charity she can steal from.

Where the heck have you been for the last 18 months? Oh wait, I know, hunkering down in your basement with your fingers in your ears, rocking back and forth, mumbling, ‘I’m a patriot, I’m a patriot, I’m a patriot…’ with no clue what that even means and failing to realize that you instead come off as schizophrenic parrot.

‘…to get the country out of a recession, there needs to be investmo get the country out of a recession, there needs to be investments made. And, the wealthy are the ones who can do the investing.’
david from texas | Sep 8, 2008 9:04:04 PM
Hey Dave,
If this is the case why haven’t they been investing over the last eight years when they’ve benefited from record tax breaks?
That said, there is truth in your premise, but it doesn’t work when business runs government on its behalf and the benefits are disproportionately shared among the top 1% while the rest of the country is left the scraps. I believe in competition, but that is precisely what McCain wants to do away with by further entrenching existing business and thus not allowing new business to get a fair shake.

Obama and Biden are pathetic! They just sound angry. Isn’t that the role Obama has tried to avoid?
McCain and Palin are awesome! – A change we will vote for

One of the main reasons that Palin knocked the wind out of Obama’s sail is that she is not a Washington insider and is new to the political scene and has already made an actual improvement in the government.
People have to ask themselves why hasn’t Obama made any changes while he has been in office? If Palin has had time and made real changes, why hasn’t Obama?
Then we remember that he voted “present” 130 times while in the senate. That doesn’t sound like change, that sounds like taking the safe way out.
- I am a democrat who is proud to vote for Palin/McCain

Yeah go head and cause a civil war. Vote in the neo-cons, and see which end of the gun your facing! This country WILL NOT stand with another Repugnant leader.

Marianne Pepiton_ YOUR a fat stupid loud mouth racist b#tch! When the time comes, your gonna be the first one against the wall! Mark my words, change can come peacefully or not, but it will come.

Sarah Palin is a cow wallowing in trough! Way to go America, you always can find weirdest people on the planet. Crazy psycho housewife with machine gun, son in army to avoid jail time for vandalizing buses, knocked up teenage daughter! When McCain keels over, and she is President, we in Europe promise to not to laugh at you blubberbutt cows (in public). You’ve become great nation at screwing up. Screwing Up is the American Way! USA! USA! USA! C’mon everybody, put on your flag pins, and let’s go waterboard Muslims! Time for you milking you moronic American cows, moo, moo.

WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO THE MCCAIN I AM THE GUY WITH EXPERIENCE GUY——THE ONE WITH BUSH 95% OV THE TIME——I GUESS OBAMA LOOKS BETTER—AND THE SUPER PARROT TRIES TO TAKE OVER—AS FOR PALIN–MCCAIN SAYS IF THEY WANT WOMAN GIVE THEM ONE ( ANYONE)—-26 YEARS WITH GOVERNMENT AND NOW HE WANTS TO BE OBAMA—GIVE ME A BREAK.

WHAT A BUNCH OF REPUB HYPOCRITES—YOU MADE FUN OF OBAMA AS THE CHANGELING—AND NOW YOUR OLD DUDE WANTS TO (BE OBAMA)MAYBE SENILITY HAS SET IN WHAT A LOSER—–KEEP TELLING HIM TO LOOK IN THE MIRROR—

Palin is just another welfare queen. Charges the taxpayers of Alaska when she stays at home, bills the taxpayers for her kids and husband Todd’s fun trips. Charges taxpayers for her trips to her church. Says she is a tough fiscal reformer but Alaska leads to the nation in leeching off Washington. We can’t afford Ms Palin.

to David from Texas–Laugh all you want! Ignorance is bliss so I guess that makes you one dumb Texan. It is scary to think ignorant people like you get to vote.Do yourself a favor and go sling your Texas B————IT somewhere else.

No surprise that the U.N. supports Barak Obama for President. A bunch of third world countries feedig off the U.S. and only want us for our money. When push comes to shove only a handful of U.N. countries stand on our side. Maybe Barak should be President of one of these U.N. blood suckers.

Obama he did not notice the after convention bump in the polls. Sure right.

I am waiting to see how Bush will “orchestrate” our foreign policy and world politics to intervene on McCain’s behalf.
The North Korean issue was already smelling as fowl as a Republican campaign promise.
The shuffling of troops in Iraq over to Afghanistan also smacks of election-driven policies.
What more world events can Bush wrangle the puppet strings on so it looks like Pinocchio is a “real” boy?
The sad reality is that Bush has been saving these “trump” cards up his sleeve to use just on an occasion like this election.
It’s more important to get into office than to accomplish any thing meaningful for the American people, as Republican’s agendas are far more deviant that actually getting anything relevant accomplished.
Political office serves so many greater needs, as Abramoff has shown us recently.
I just hope there will be justice in the end, with all the trimmings.

Sarah Palin is the US’s answer to Margaret Thatcher! Anyone who thinks she cannot handle the job or deal briskly and efficiently with ANY issue, including foreign governments . Well, they haven’t met our Sarah.
As an Alaskan resident as well as a resident of Wasilla, AK, where Sarah Palin was at one time Mayor . I can speak with confidence. Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska is exactly what she portrayed during her introduction this morning and exactly what our US Government needs. She is ethical to a fault (if there is such a thing), a refreshing change to the status-quo and as smart and determined a PERSON (gender really isn’t an issue here as far as I’m concerned) as anyone could ask for at the head of government.
Sarah is no naïve “small town mayor” – she just *started out* there. Btw, as Mayor of Wasilla, she brought this “small town” through a lot of GOOD changes and left it at the end of her term having grown to the 4th largest CITY in Alaska – a lot of growth and a stronger economic base than ever before.
She has EXECUTIVE experience ‘running a government’ (something NONE of the other candidates can actually boast, even John McCain) as Governor of Alaska and got there by defeating the ‘incumbent’ Republican Governor, who was definitely part of the “old school” and who WAS very much in the pocket of the big oil companies. We in Alaska wanted change – and we got it in the person of Sarah Palin!
Sarah Palin is everything she looks to be and more. Her approval rating as Governor of Alaska has been as high as 95% and is currently leveled out consistently in the upper 80 percentile throughout the state (and in both parties) – the HIGHEST approval rating of ANY sitting Governor.
Sarah has been turning around corruption in the Legislature of Alaska – turning things on their ear for that matter; cutting spending in spite of the increased income the state is currently receiving due to the high oil prices – she has insisted on putting a huge amount of the “windfall” into savings for the future rather than spending, spending, spending – and has insisted from the get-go on what she refers to as “honest, ethical and transparent governing” – no more closed door meetings and dealings – the big oil companies thought she would be a pushover and have learned better to their chagrin.
She understands the “real people” and the economic issues we all face (Alaskans along with the rest of the country) – she was one of “us” not long ago. Rather than passing useless “laws” or throwing money at pet projects, she (most recently) temporarily suspended the state gas tax (on gasoline at the pumps, fuel oil and natural gas for homes, etc.) and has ordered checks issued to ALL residents of Alaska this fall in an attempt to assist with the burden of high fuel costs for the upcoming winter. I could go on and on, but that’s enough for now. She isn’t doing these things to be popular – she is doing it because her constituents are HURTING financially and she can help.
She became Governor of Alaska by defeating the Incumbent Republican Governor and doing it ‘without’ the money or the support of the Republican Party, which was amazing in itself – and she won by a landslide. The “powers that be” at that time totally underestimated Sarah and learned better the hard way. She has done exactly what she claimed she was going to do and is just as popular today as the day she was elected – perhaps more so since even the Democrats up here seem to like her – she works well with both sides in the Legislature here.
Sarah “belongs” to us (Alaskans)…and although we are going to be terribly sorry to see her leave before she finishes the job she started here (two years ago) straightening out OUR State…we understand she is needed for a bigger purpose and hopefully her Lt. Governor will be able to fill her shoes here and continue the job.
As for worrying about what would happen if McCain were to die or step down or whatever, up here in AK we’ve only been wondering how long we would be able to KEEP Sarah in Alaska and have seen her as our first woman President of the USA from the start. It’s always been a matter of whether she would wait until the end of her TWO terms as Governor (no doubt at ALL that she would be re-elected if she ran for a second term at the end of her current term) … or end up in Washington sooner. She could do the job TODAY.
She will be an excellent Vice President … and my guess is will be our US Republican Presidential candidate in four years – AND by then the country will KNOW her – will love and respect her as we do here – and she’ll win by as much of a landslide as she did here in Alaska. I only wonder if McCain has a clue what he is unleashing on the US of A. She is going to be a fresh wind, but also a strong wind.
She hasn’t let us or Alaska down. She will do the same for the USA if given the opportunity.
ROCK ON MCCAIN & PALIN!!!!

“As Barack said, what do they think we are? Completely stupid? Completely stupid?”
Yes Hussein, we do think you are stupid. Your mouth just keeps getting you in trouble and exposing yourself.
I mean really, 57 states, with two more to states to go? Every time you open your mouth – the foot finds its place.
It might be best for you to start planning to just go back to working on your community service projects
(which by the way, the facts state that project in Chicago that you created is as your community project is now condemned and completely unlivable…. nice follow through. )

No Wonder Hamas Endorses Obama
You can see why Hamas endorses Obama, and why Palestinians actually are running phone banks from the terrorist-run territories on Obama Hussein’s behalf!!!

Palestinians Running Phone Banks for Obama
The notion of Barack Obama becoming President is so preposterous, it cannot be parodied.
This al-Jazeera report about Palestinians in Gaza — the folks who elected the terror group Hamas to run the government — appears to be completely on the level.
The same folks who passed out candy in celebration on 9/11 are running phone banks in support of their hero Obama!!!

WAKE UP AMERICA! MCCAIN-PALIN 08!!

See disaster OH. Look what diplomacy has done in Obama’s organizing in the Chicago, what about the gangs and you can just make up fictional smear. Obama has never been tested in a crisis but he has avoided many.

all I can say is, please all Obama supporters MAKE SURE YOU VOTE. the thought of another 4 years of republican garbage makes me sick, sick, sick. all of you who voted for Bush the last time ARE TOTALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR WHERE WE ARE NOW, YOU DID IT FOLKS!!!!. and ARE YOU REALLY BETTER OFF NOW??? Democrats, PLEASE UNITE!!!

Incredible. That is the only way to characterize Johnny McSame and Sarah Palin in making their claims to be the agents of change. Hey, the G.O.P. has been in charge for the last 8 years. So, what are you telling us. Are you admitting that Bush and other conservatives were dead wrong. It seems to me that’s what you’re saying, except you do nothing but offer 4 more years of the same. Wake up, people. These minions of the far right have fooled you twice. Are you going to let them fool you again??? Obama/Biden 2008!!!

Change. Yes, we can! Change. Yes, we can! Change. Yes, we can! Wait a minute…that’s our word…what are they trying to do? Stop using our words! Change is our word, and you can’t have it. What are we going to do now? Oh, my! Now, we will have to start talking more about pigs and lipstick. Funny how everyone picks up on the same words….”Words! Just words!” Change we can believe in!
