no, this came from two STRONG CONSERVATIVES

where are the Obama critics with all of your whacked-out comments for this story?? hello?

Yeah Larry but they were two conservative republican commentators…Peggy Noonan was even Reagan’s speechwriter. Can’t get more Republican than that.

Peggy Noonan is great friends with Kay Bailey and she’s pissed.
Big freakin deal.

Whoa! This is hilarious. Hot mics are funny. This is funnier than Jesse Jackson.

Woooo! Thanks for posting my link!

I guess the truth hurts??!!!??

it IS over. I glad even the GOP insiders now recognize it.

They’ll see Todd, supposedly an objective reporter saying what he truly feels.
Tsk. Tsk. I’m surprised NBC would want this to be shown.
Interesting.

This is revealing. I wish you could embed this before it’s taken off You tube. Right now the counter says it has had 215 views, but has been favorited more than 400 times. I wonder what the real count is….
Someone’s trying to stop it from going viral? Or at least showing up on the You tube charts.
Amazing….

Noonan looks like she would be fun for a romp, not a conversation.

Its not NBC that wants it to be shown. Someone else put it on you.tube.

Let me get this straight… PUNDITS left their MIC ON and this MEANS SOMETHING? OK!!!! They must be the Super-Duper Delegates, right? And what moron Sound Engineer “accidentally” left the mic on AT JUST THE RIGHT TIME? GET REAL! Another ploy by MSM!

This isn’t the “libs” breathlessly reporting.
These are two REPUBLICAN pundits expressing their truthful OPINIONS when they thought their mikes were off.
Who knew Republicans could be so savvy?

Wow! Republicans being honest! Who’da thunk it?

Again… PUNDITS who’s words mean NOTHING! And again, how can this be a “mistake”? Sound Engineers lose their jobs over “errors” like this. I know, I am one. There’s no way this is real. It’s GOT to be staged, or else that Engineer is going to be on the Unemployment line a LOOOOONG time!

vuzous
pooor republicans
i dont know if i should laugh or cry.

former noonan fan
follow her lead……. snap to reality.

Jo – can you spell I-N D-E-N-I-A-L?
McCain may have been a POW who fought in VietNam (one of the dirtiest wars we’ve ever been involved in) but that makes him no more qualified than Obama, who happens to be way smarter and has a much better temperament. McCain’s just trying any kind of gimmick he can think of to win. Palin as VP? Gimme a break. This is just plain stupid thinking. This has nothing to do with her family situation or the so-called “mommy wars.” That’s totally irrelevant. But thinking of her being one step away from the white house is absurd, scary and ridiculous. (Jesse Jackson’s remarks were just a case of sour grapes. Obama reached the heights that Jackson aspired to but couldn’t attain.)

Murphy used to work for McCain, and Noonan worked for Reagan and G.H.W. Bush. Both of them usually rip up liberals.

That loud thud you’re hearing is elephants falling all over Americal

The Real Sarah Palin, Revealed
http://www.santamonicadispatch.com/?p=572

Sorry Jo, it has been over for quite sometime. After the 100 years comment and bombing Iran song, It was over. Ron Paul was the only republican running that spoke about our problems and gave some solutions.

Ah-ha ……… these two Repubs have finally said what the rest of their party is thinking, but, afraid to admit it!!

Fae,
You’re such a fan of your presidential ticket you don’t even know how to spell their names? Could it be that you’ve only known Palin’s name for all of five days?
My aren’t you slick.

Finally, a bit of honesty from the Republican Pundits. Its funny, they can argue the Republica talking points when the camera is on, but when the camera is off the truth comes out.
“It’s Over”
Obama / Biden ’08

Hey right wingers… don’t fret. Dems won’t fight back… Just cheat again (like ’04)…
We’re doomed no matter WHO wins (or steals) the “ELECTION”

why dont you search for and post the video and/or dialogue of the dnc chair – dan fowler – caught making fun of hurricane gustav hitting new orleans (just as the gop convention is gearing up) while he was on a plane after the dems convention. oh but wait! that wouldnt look good for you’re stupid liberals would it?

The comments made by these two staunch conservatives just cemented what I already knew…McCain’s pick of Palin for his running mate effectively sank his bid for the presidency. Kay Bailey Hutchinson would have shored up a ship taking on water. I don’t always agree with her policies, but I respect her and believe she would have been a great Vice President. I’m an Independent, and I’ve been on the fence until now – I’m going to hold my nose and vote for Obama come November 4th!

John McCain basically secured his party’s nomination back in February, so he had about 6 months to ponder and make a descent decision. Then, out of the blue comes this Sarah Palin woman, who obviously was not vetted by the McCain team, and carrying all kinds of baggage. This is the first major decision John McCain has made towards his presidency, and what a disaster! I would have expected something like this from GW, but from a Maverick. He talks like a Maverick, but he really makes Jackass decisions!!!!

Its sad when the rabid supporters of McCain / Palin have to start name calling those who offer a differing view. Whatever view that may be.
Spreading their haterade I guess.
Obama / Biden ’08

i heard palin is serving up some red meat tonight ……. bad choice ….. when you jump in the fray the little damsel in distress act goes away.
we will hammer you silly

Right, inexcusable, former DNC chair Fowler making fun of hurricane Gustav… which I believe was caused by Focus on Family Dobson praying for rain on the Democratic convention but the rain went the wrong way?

If anything, this will reflect poorly on snarky Peggy Noonan, Reagan’s former speech writer. Today, she published a column saying mostly nice things about Sarah Palin, then she got busted via hot mike saying not-so-nice things. Can we say hypocrite???
I listened to right-wing radio on the way home today – Peggy, along with Mike Murphy, is on a bunch of crap lists. Talk show hosts and their listeners are ticked off at Peggy and Mike and are strongly defending/supporting Palin.
I must say I agree with the listeners – my vote will remain the same…
McCain/Palin 2008 – in lieu of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton!
PUMA!

This is not surprising. Pundits are always cynical. And they have no idea how real people think.

these two got caught saying what all republicans secretly think – Palin sucks, McCain made a horrible decision but at least he will be able to blame his election loss on the Caribou Barbie

I would like to officially declare that this race is now OVER!! The RNC is simply a formality.

This is nothing different that what is being said by regular Americans in kitchens, bars, and bustops accross the nation. Gov. Palin is a choice made out of desperation and nothing more than a political gimmick. This country deserves more from their leaders than gimmicks. DON’T TRUST MCCAIN!

And all this time I though the Republicans were just stupid as hell. Now I find out they are just lying to the American public about how they really feel, what this is really all about REALLY

Well I’m a Conservative Republican and these reporters took ‘the words right out of my mouth’. What were the McCain handlers thinking?? I’ve got to vote Third Party now. I can’t sink to the Democrats level, ever!

GoUSA247: I hate to tell you this, but Romney was his best choice. McCain just lost my vote! There is no way this female is as ready to lead, as Romney!!!!

[I love how the libs are breathlessly reporting this.
This is weak. Got anything else?

This is funny!

Yes they are hard right Republicans and against the choice because Gov. Palin, just like Sen. McCain are against many of the things their own party does. This just confirms my opinion that if either of the 2 candidates running can reform Washington, it is the McCain/Palin ticket.

IT’s OVER FOLKS!
McCain dug his own grave – no pun intended.
This is classic. The Republicans told so many lies on Obama. But now the chickens are coming home to roost.
Sad they only tell the truth off camera!

Intelligent republicans, there is a god.

it’s refreshing to see these two republicans admitting the truth about Palin. today i watched the video of her talking about how God wants us in Iraq on a special mission. apparently, she also asked for people to pray for God’s pipeline in Alaska.and how can someone who’s been affiliated with alaska secession be close to being in charge of the other 49 states? she really is scary!do we need this inexperienced radical fundamentalist so near the white house?

Hang in the Sarah, the dems, libs and the media are coming after you with everything they have. They know they have to hit you hard and fast early on before you have a chance to really catch fire with the independent electorate. If they don’t get you knocked out of the race with vile smears and innuendos before October, its OVER for them and they know it. Hopefully, enough intelligent people who are undecided will see thru this blatant unfounded character assassination attempt and make up their minds in October when they come to realize there is ZERO evidence for any of these vile attacks except he said/she said which means nothing. If the people want to know what is really important, which is where you stand on the issues, they should go to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political
positions_of_Sarah_Palin#Energy_and_environment_

I think these two strong republicans finally stated what so many have felt.
What a slap in the face to all those that were qualified.
I still wonder if selection wasn’t suggested to McCain on purpose?

“. today i watched the video of her talking about how God wants us in Iraq on a special mission.” Palin never said anything like that! Only an insane person would make such a statement.

Mcain wanted somebody who is younger so he can enjoy life a bit!!!he didnt look for knowlegde or he didnt care what will happen to us AMERICAN in case of his illness, because GOD saves us from Palin.Marika from texas

I am so grateful to my Mom who told my Dad when he was about to spank me one day “Don’t hit him on his head because he’ll become a Republican” Mom was so right! Thank you Mom!

How utterly refreshing to have some truth in the news.

I think it’s so comical how the GOP constantly talks about the inexperience of Obama while downplaying the inexperience of Palin. Double standards I’d say? She is governor of a state that has the fewest people and was mayor of a city of 9,000. C’mon, she is not ready for primetime.

[". today i watched the video of her talking about how God wants us in Iraq on a special mission." Palin never said anything like that! Only an insane person would make such a statement.

PALIN IS INSANE.
Q.E.D.

The teacher asked me in class “What two words are synonymous with Republican”? My answer was “Denial” and “negative ads” and she gave me an A- . The guy whose answer was “War and bad economy got an A . Not fair!

This is God sent. This is a honest opinion. McCain is done.
Obama 08.

One thing I find very interesting. Posts by Dems on here are making a big deal of it, yet they have just as much on their side. Jackson caught on the mic, Clinton supporters bailing ship and not voting on Obama. Why is this highlighted? It happens on both sides. Doesn’t anyone in their right mind think that all members of their party are in lock-step with their candidate? Please! That’s just ignorant.

McCain = war focused/no domestic policy=bad economy (PAIN!)
Obama = domestic economy focused and renewed peace and respect from the world for America= good economy(HOPE!)
Choose ye this day!

Lindaa: If you are a Republican, how can you sink to the bottom of the barrel. At least vote Third Party. They won’t raise taxes!

MSNBC is total c*#p.

[Looks like the old guard is still PO'd with McCain..]
McCAIN IS OLDER THAN THE OLD GUARD

Also David Frum and Charles Krautheimer — two serious conservatives — both think Palin is a disaster.
Yeah, yeah, I know someone will say “who cares what they think”… but lets get real, if even the faithful are jumping ship… McCain should can her.

Actually LarryMan, this comes from Peggy Noonan, Reagan’s mouthpiece, and Mike Murphy, a Republican strategist. Face the facts. They could have chosen more qualified women but they didn’t. Everybody can see that. Enough said.

Shall we say that the Republicans were caught with their pants down??

Stanley,
McCain = foreign policy focused on a defeat of Al Qaeda and victory in Iraq/Economic policy includes lower taxes for small businesses and corporations that will keep jobs here and grow the economy plus the energy required to run the engine of our economy.
A vote for McCain/Palin = More jobs and a higher standard of living and more peace because Al Qaeda will be defeated and our enemies will know they are up against a man with real experience at the helm.
Obama = foreign policy focused on a win for Al Qeada and a defeat in Iraq, Economic policy includes higher taxes for small businesses and corporations that will drive jobs out of America plus blocking drilling for new oil, new refineries and new nuclear power plants which will kill the economic engine of America and result in a lower standard of living for all.
A vote for Obama = loss of jobs and a lower standard of living, more war because our enemies will realize they are dealing with a man child with no experience at the helm.
Choose ye this day!

Gotta love how frantically the Republican spinmeisters are saying this means nothing and that this was a ploy by “liberal” MSNBC. The truth is that these are Republican insiders who got caught saying what they really think – this lady is not fit to be VP.

the fact that it was msnbc automatically ivalidates it in my eyes. i will never forgive/forget the way they treated hillary.

Many republicans are smart people and identified themselves with this pundits… McCain Threw a hail mary and the wind knocked it down half way!
McCain didnt honored my grandfather’s vote by choosing an unqualified VP (Knowing his health risk) therefore he has seen the light and he is voting democrat along with me for the first time in his life… I guess he just needed to hear that out of republican’s mouth…
We are sure she is a great woman but the fact that she just got her passport last year sends a chill down my spine. When i talk to people who have never left the states think that we can imposs our views on other nations through the barrel of a gun…

I cannot vote for Sarah Palin. She wants to teach creationism in the schools, ban books from libraries when she doesn’t like them, and prevent women who have been victims of rape and incest of getting abortions. She wants to despoil the wilderness and shorelines of our country by oil drillers. She believes that the Iraq war is God’s will.
I was going to vote for McCain, but I can’t vote for Palin.

Why are some of you people trying to spin this and clean it up?
EVERYBODY knows that this vp pick was HORRIBLE!!
Noonan and Murphy just got caught saying what everybody is thinking…
“McCain is an IDIOT !!”

How dumb can Obammabots be.
The Economy? The economy is down because of one thing and one thing only – GAS PRICES.
It causes the cost of food to skyrocket, vacations, eating out, jobs to be cut out, and everything to downturn. When people fill up their cars for $75, they can’t do anything else.
The cost of gas is due to one person and one person only – and the name starts with Nancy.
Surely most idiots can see that far. Surely?
Palin/McCain 08

Let`s have a look at Obama`s work experience, and knowledge:
- In the US Senate, Barack Obama has served on the
-FOREIGN RELATIONS COMMITTEE,
-HOMELAND SECURITY COMMITTEE,
-VETERANS AFFAIRS COMMITTEE,
-HEALTH, EDUCATION,
-LABOR & PENSION COMMITTEE.
- Before getting to the US Senate Obama served 11 years in the Illinois State Senate.
- Barack Obama is a graduate TOP of his class at Harvard Law School.
- Barack Obama also has a degree in Political science specializing in International Relations.
- Barack Obama worked in Chicago, Illinois as a community organizer, Obama, as the director of the Developing Communities Project in Chicago, helped set up a job training program, a college preparatory tutoring program, and a tenants’ rights organization in Altgeld Gardens.
- Barack Obama also worked as a consultant and instructor for a community organizing institute.
- Barack Obama worked as a Civil Rights lawyer for 9 years.
- Barack Obama was also a University of Chicago Constitutional Law Professor for 12 years.
- In the US Senate Obama has written 890 pieces of legislation, and co-sponsored 1096 pieces of legislation.

larryman—the economy is down in a small part because yes gas is up. but the biggest reason is that wages for the working poor have fallen so far behind inflation. all the good jobs have left and and have been replaced by wal-mart and fast food jobs oh yes unemployment is down and so are the working wages… you can stop telling all the rpeublican lies we americans will not fall for it again. we see right thru the republicans. you are for the rich and big business.

tom, You may think unemployment is high now, just wait until Obama gets elected and imposes his high taxes on small businesses and corporations and unemployment will go through the roof. Think for a change, what will business do to address the higher cost of running a business that the higher taxes will impose on them. You guessed it, to make up the difference they will raise prices, which is a back door tax on all of us, lay off more people, or just move to another more tax friendly Nation.
So stop with the demonization of small businesses and corporations. They are the job creators and the producers of the products we all use in our daily lives. Keep in mind the more you tax something the less you get of it. So if you want fewer jobs and a declining economy raise the taxes of small businesses and corporations and that is exactly what you will get.

Deena Rockafella, Bravo! I could not have said it better myself! Keep telling the truth! Heaven help us all and save us from the Republicans!

I have to believe there are more smart Americans then dumb ones. I want this to be vary clear Obama is no MLK. MLK was a great man Obama is not nor will he be no matter what MLK children think. This is all about voting for a Black President. The problem is they went to the bottom of the barreL.I have no problem with a black President but please is this the best you have to offer I think not

Typical Republican spin. You forgot to mention WHY they were laughing. Not at the hurrican or the people of New Orleans. They were laughing because it blew away the first day of the GOP convention, just like most of us were.

our nation is 9 trillion in debt.. we spend billions a month in iraq and billion more a month around the world on other millitary fronts. all teh while our schools are underfunded our roads and bridges are crumbling. an dthe rich have made a fortune why bush ahs been president. all the while the poor and working class have fallen deeper into a hole we now are back to the horrible type economy we had under reagan.

Here we go again with Iraq. If you didn’t have your head out of the sunlight you could recall that Bill Clinton URGED the removal of Saddam. He declared that the goal of the US would be regime change in Iraq. Every democrat publically proclaimed that Saddam had WMD’s.
Hey, we only found 50,000 tons of Yellow Cake.
Oil had nothing to do with Iraq. It had everything to do with fighting terrorism. Since terrorists were being slaughtered there, they couldn’t come over here and take out a city.
Yes, even Hitlery Clinton stuck out her chests when we invaded Iraq.
Palin/McCain 08

Kay Bailey Hutchinson would have been a crap choice as well! McCain should have went with Mitt, Ridge or Lieberman. The cristian Taliban are a cancer on the GOP.

Two republicans against McCain, what about the 18 million against Osama? Jessee Jackson had the right idea about Osama, when he said “cut his nuts off”.

larryman—yes we democrats did support it but bush lied to get us there and he took his eye off were bin laden really is that is afganistan. bush invaded a sovereign nation with out getting the free world to support us. he did it by going against nato,s rules. bush is a war criminal, by the rules of nato which the united states helped set up, but like our constitution bush thinks the rules dont apply to him. and mccain is the same way.

Looks like Noonan and Murphy were off the Republican talking points today when they thought their mics were off. They were correct in their analysis of McCain picking Palin.

I’m a Hillary supporter and I didn’t want to vote for the fake jesus they call Obama but McCain really messed up here. There is no way I am voting for him given his age and this unqualified housewife as the possible successor.

Sarah has EXECTUTIVE 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.

McCain/Palin 08 ticket!!! Why is it that in this ticket you find the biblical name “Cain”, and the word denoting suffering “Pain”? Also, their names end with the last two letters of the evil word “Sin”. What’s going on here? I know conservatives pride themselves as Christians, and so is there any biblical significance to this ticket?

They’re just repeating what everyone is saying in the break rooms across America.
Word of Palin trying to get her own appointed committee to be in charge of the investigation hit today. When this hit our breakroom this afternoon, people were laughing that McCain was dumb enough to bring in someone who reminds working Americans of Cheney.

No matter how the republican spin machine tries to make Palin into a genius pick, eventually the truth will show through. The only people who think she’s a good pick are the conservative core who, it turns out, aren’t really that hard to fool.
This election was over the minute McCain picked her. McCain’s 72, has had four bouts with cancer, his memory failing, and the best they can do is a quasi-corrupt green-horn who is years away from even being qualified to debate the opposition, let alone sit in the big chair?
Harriet Miers part II.

McCain has made a mockery out of the electoral process by choosing Palin. She is not qualified to be a heartbeat away from the presidency. and McCain is counting on the Rove spin doctors to create an acceptable image. The fact is we hardly know her and what we know is disturbing. She is a creationist, anti-environment, denier of global warming, pro-gun, hard core evangelical who fired a city librarian for resisting censorship. She is a double-talker who fought for huge earmarks for her tiny town. She appointed a man convicted of sexual harassment to be in charge of Public Security. She is a hypocrite who attacked Hillary as a whiner and now wants to ride Clinton’s coat tails. McCain is not putting his “Country First”-her candidacy has derailed the electoral process since accepting or rejecting her has become the election itself.

I sadly agree with the commentators. It will be a sad cycle for republicans the next 4-8 years. The saddest part of all is when republicans overreach as the party did with Bush, you can still repair the damage within time. When democrats overreach, as they will with Obama and a democrat house, senate, you cannot repair the damage. How can you repair legalization of 20million illegals, universal health care and expansion of welfare. How?

larryman—do you know there was no terrorist in iraq before we went there..why? because all teh terror groups were hated and enemies of saddams. only when we invaded iraq did teh terrorist show up. and if you think the surge or anything w ehave done there has helpped you are saddly mistaken. we could stay there for 20 more years then leave and guess what the area will go right back to a hot bed. do you know why? read the bible you republicans love so much it says there will never be peace in the holy land. there has been hundreds if not thousands of empires that have tryed to make peace there and guess what they all failed and os will we.

I just heard McCain interviewed on ABC News. He was lying through his teeth when he said Palin is ready to become Commander-in-Chief if necessary. You could see it in his face. He has sold out completely and will lose because of it.

Hey Larryman! It reminds of America’s best middleast friend and a friend of Israel, the late King Hussein of Jordan.
Got you….!!!
That’s why I will vote Barack Hussein Obama 08!!! Yaaa! and very proud of his name too, not the “Cain and Pain ticket”
Obama/Biden 08

Tom, You are quite mistaken with a couple of points in your post. First, the word Bible should be capitalized. Second, the surge did work, that is why they are beginning the withdrawl, not because BHO told them to do so. Third, my dad is a Christian immigrant from Syria, and for you to suggest that terrorists and tribal attacks did not occur before the Americans went there is absurd. These nations have always been under the rule of a tyrant who is then overthrown and replaced by another tyrant. My great uncle and grandfather were both killed by terrorists, and this was in the 1930′s. Finally, please cite your Biblical source: Book, chapter, and verse of the statement ‘There will never be peace in the Holy Land.’ All the best.

It’s a fake you can tell by the backgroud sounds are different when they pan out. Also when run thru my sound analyler that I use for my band it’s clearly a fake. ABC you should be ashamed.

You wish. That’s the real deal and you know it. LOL

LarryMan Better go back to the school of economics. You don’t have a clue!!!

John McCain has proved how POOR HIS JUDGEMENT IS….IF he and Gov. Palin (as they both claim) knew about her teenaged unwed daughter’s pregnancy. WHY IN GOD’S NAME WOULD YOU THRUST HER ONTO THE WORLD STAGE TO BE HUMILIATED!!!!! All for the sake of a job – VICE President or not…
Gov. Palen & Mr. Palen should be ashamed!!!!And if she did not know prior to her accepted the nomination. That shows she (nor her Husband) are on top of there household so how can she, potentially Serve the American people to the best of her ability!!!! I am giving them the benefit of the doubt…In believing that they did not know before she was asked to be on the ticket- and subsequently acceptaning. This means that McCain was the only DUNCE in not properly Veeting her.

Everyone’s missing the main point. Palin is a lunatic fringe right winger who would impose her morals on the rest of the country (excepther family). Her utter lack of experience shows McCain’s lack of concern for his country if he dies in office.

Every time I come home from work, there is more and more CRAP about the republicans……this party has become a JOKE !!!

Go to opinionjournal.com and read Peggy Noonan’s explanation…the quote was taken way out of context. Nice try ABC News, but you fail again miserably at investigative reporting. Critical thought would behoove your editors prior to posting “open mic” sessions.

… We truly are living in ‘interesting times’. Anything can happen now that the elephant is out of the bag ass backwards. I think the framers must be looking out for us. Amen.

Tom, Keep up the good work! The Republicans are out of touch..they are so out of touch that some would even look you straight in face and tell you that the economy is the best it has ever been and gas is 1$ a gallon. They are drinking that spiked Koolaid served up every day by Rush (the joker)Limbaugh, Sean(the comedian)Hannity and the little naive lady on the view tv program. Heaven help us all and save us from the Republicans!

i was just listening to the paligamist mormon romney speak.. man this guy is so full of crap he is turning brown. i am so sick of radical christains in this country we should hunt down all radical extremist here in america go look in all the mega churchs and white supremist churchs in america and drag all these radical christains to gitmo for some waterboarding fun since they think its so great to torture prisoners.

Peggy Noonan’s explanation:
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122044753790594947.html?mod=todays_columnists

I like McCain..he makes me laugh! he is a joke..like comedy relief..Its good for my health but when I snap back to reality and realize that gas is $3 a gallon and my country men are losing jobs and the economy is going down the drain..$10 billion dollars a month to keep the troops in Iraq..I get serious! and is determined to vote out all the Republicans..Republicans are bad for the economic health of the country and our physical health. Heaven help us all and save us from the Republicans!

So, did the daughter have mono 5 months ago or was she conceiving a child? They can’t both be true, right?

That Mike Murphy! I’m gonna cut his nuts off!

isnt it funny how republicans say tehy are fiscally responsible have run thsi nation into debt and now king george is going to send our tax money over to georgia. i billion dollars,to a nation when here at home we have tens of thousands of people losing there homes every day thousands losing there job every day.. but republicans think its ok to have corparate wealth faree and to give to those who are hurting in otrher countries but it is wrong by there idea to help the suffering here. oh yes country first.. yes but not our country.

Martha S: What a way to skip the subject. Such denial, no wonder Bush is in office. We’re not buying it this year. 4 more months, 4 more months, 4 more months.

I didn’t think anyone could make George Bush look good, but McCain and his folks are succeeding. If the negativity keeps up about Palin, he’ll drop her like a hot potato and she will have exposed her family to all of this stuff for nothing. So much for blind ambition on the part of McCain and Palin.

Hey McWar isnt it about time you play that broken record about 40 years ago. Being shot down and in a POW camp doesnt make you presidental. Good Judgement does!!!!Biden not Palin. Iran not IraQ

As mayor, Palin raised sales taxes to float a $15 million bond to build a sports arena. She used eminent domain to acquire the property, and when the city was sued for wrongful seizure of property, Wasilla residents had to pay a $1.7 million settlement.
Did she get kickbacks from the builder?
Palin hired Ted Stevens ex-chief of staff to lobby the Federal government and got $27 million in earmarks for Wasilla, a town of then 7,000.
When she jumped on Stevens and his son after they’d become vulnerable, it was just one up-and-coming mob boss taking out another.

Take your medicine like a man…OBama did now its your turn.

they were just commenting on what all of us know…
Down the Drain McCain!
there was an old man name mccain
he swiftly went down the drain
As the GOP Presidential nominee
he woke up 5 times a night to pee
then named Palin as his #2
and woke up at night to poo

Thanks for saying what the rest of us who arnt blindsighted have been thinking. It is BS.

The Republicans ran the country’s economy into the ground, and what is there theme at the convention? “COUNTRY FIRST” LOL! These jokers are good for comedy relief. Heaven help us all and save us from the Republicans!

BREAKING NEWS: Sarah Palin and Tina Fey are the same person!!

Obama failed his entrance test for college. He used the affirmative action route for college, as his grades weren’t acceptable. Yes, you, the taxpayer paid for his education. Obama was rewarded for being a failure, that’s affirmative action.
Gov. Palin had a scholarship to college. Now, she is a govenor of the largest state in the union, with a 11 billion dollar budget. For the Obama followers, that’s an 11 followed by nine zeros.

Your correct, that’s why Obama is a part time senator and Sarah Palin is a govenor! Obama has been to work only 43 times in 3 years !!! No experience here, for Obama.
McCain/Palin/PUMA

debra—you republicans could see with your owns eyes something and still say its wrong. romney said tonight the sun has always rised in the east but he thinks republicans can get it to raise in arizona and alaska.. what arrogance and blind stupidity.

Pictures of Bristol Palin getting drunk just released. And the hits just keep on coming.

The only Republican promoting
Palin is McCain himself. There
hasn’t been any spontaneous
approbation of her selection
among Republican officials.

To John McCain:
I can’t believe that you think your anti-choice pick will woo us Hillary supporters. We were dead set on voting for you, but now, all it did was make up our minds to vote independent. Unless you get rid of her and pick a real leader you won’t get our group’s vote. How foolish are you???

The Republican Convention looks more like a Viagra commercial. The party of middle aged men excited like school girls.

To Barackstar crude. Funny, but Crude!

Q : Why did you pick mid-life Barbie to be your VP?
McCAIN: When I was a P.O.W. for ….

This shows the loyalty and back stabbing involved in politics. I would not care if they were referring to Democrats or Republican candidates, these are two miserable, ugly, discontented human beings. “Political Pundits” – the term alone makes me cringe.

I look at the GOP Convention and all I see is a sea of wrinkly, white-haired white people. Not a brown, black, yellow or red face in sight. I guess this must be the party of inclusion. (NOT) Wait, I saw a black face. Oh well, it was just a clean up man.
I wonder who I have to talk to in order to get the Depends concession. Something tell me I could make a few bucks on a deal like that.

chattyway—man that is lame!! you republitards are just so desparate, you see the light you know you are on your way out but just cant admit it. mccain sold out, he use to stand up to teh republicans when they were wrong now he bows to them and picks a radical christain kook from alaska that is a earmark queen she earmarked 22 million for town of 7000 people. yea that is fiscally responsible.

The little hick, redneck town Palin comes from has an average educational level of 10th grade education. Like most towns in Alaska, it has a large percent of its people on welfare.
Took another look at the TV, (the sounds off) and again, all I see are more white faces. No wonder you people are going to lose: you’re out of step. Better pray to your sweet jebus because you’re days are numbered.

i hope all you PUMAs are happy when McSame/PALesINcomarison overturns Roe V Wade. hillary would be so proud of you!

McCain: At least you could have picked Ron Paul instead of this floozy idiot!!

But she is the Commander of Alaska’s National Guard. Yes all 38 toothless members!

It is wrong to think that because
McCain has picked a woman as his
running mate, he’s less of a
misogynist.
This was a calculated political
decision to deceive voters and
achieve three objectives.
1. He’s a fighter for women’s
rights which he is not neither
is Palin who is a reactionary
2. Say to Hillary Clinton supporters
come on you can shatter the
glass ceiling if you join the Republican party
3. Keep the right wing within his
own party happy which seems to be
pleased with redneck secessionist
Palin

claerly this is the Obama camp trying to manipulate and smear the great name a=of Sarah Palin with is muslim rhetoric and his non-american-ness. These two must have been paid to make this comments and MSNBC, long known to be the “Obama” network was prepared to leak them.

I see absolutly no difference in that conversation than what every republican stratigist says everytime they speak. By the way, what the hell is a stratigist and what qualifies them and what difference does it make anyway because they spin everything.

That’s so unfair. The truth is just unfair and I’m going to cry now. Waaaa. Waaaaa.

Considering these are Reagan republicans, the source is very telling. The GOP and their culture wars have been going farther over to the extreme to hold their party together vs. going to the middle where the bulk of the country is. This has the danger of putting the permanent majority of Rove and Bush into another permanent minority. Reagan must be turning in his grave to see his legacy so distorted

Palin hired lobbyists with close ties to Ted Stevens and traveled to Washington to personally appear before appropriations committees. She got $27 million in Federal earmarks for Wasilla over four years.
How many small town mayors hire lobbyists and travel to Washington to lobby for Federal earmarks?
How many small town mayors have the clout to get before appropriations committees?
A $15 million earmark was for a rail project to connect Wasilla to a resort town where Ted Stevens has a home.
“Thanks, but no thanks” to the bridge to nowhere? Only when it became politically expedient. Before then, she was grabbing taxpayer cash with both hands.

McCain and Jesse Jackson are like the apprendix. At one time in history, they served a purpose, now they are just a pain when they flare up !!!

This “mistake” for a VP is right now kicking butts and taking names.
Go, GAL, Go!!!!

Why is Palin STILL lying about the Bridge to Nowhere and earmarks? Didn’t anyone vet her speech?

palin just crosed the line she is going to get slamed and slamed hard now..

palin is even more disgusting then rudy and romney.

McCain has known for months that he was going to lose. Palin is just his excuse for losing.

Noonan and Murphy said exactly what I think too. After voting for Bush(1988) Bush(1992) Dole(1996) Bush(2000) Bush(2004) straight GOP, I am going for DEM this time. Sorry!

larryman— mccain/palin just dropped by one point and obama went up one point after her hatefull and nasty speach.. the comment what will obama do part the waters and heal teh world. that statement will backfire bigtime.

Ha Ha. Your own GOP political insiders think McCain/Palin are Mcfinished.

That’s all well and good but really how can people ignore the last 8 years of a crippled economy and a crumbling infrastructure. Today the bush administration vowed to give 1 billion dollars to Georgia the Country attacked by Russia. How many schools and hospitals could have been repaired with that money? Ask yourself a simple question…Who has our interests in mind…those who want to privatize everything or those whom want to help everyone.

It’s so refreshing to see uniformity at a convention. There are no problems, they ALL want the same candidate. McCain!
Obama and Hillary had to beg Hillary supporters to give up their delegates. He was sweating it. It happened a week ago and it’s still hilarious!

Palin is a small town mayor with a huge appetite for fame. She’s not qualified – and she knows it. the repubs will end up dumping her and that will be the end of 2008 for the GOP. Next time, get a smarter candidate.

Wow…that crowd is tiny compared to the 80,000 at Obama’s speech. Sounded like a high school basketball game too. Obama’s speech the crowd was so loud it was like friggin’ Woodstock. Talk about the “white” party, I think I saw one black dude in the entire arena!
America will vote Obama.

Tonight’s speech by Sarah and Guilianni showed the level of party. What will they stoop to to win. It’s not about slander, it’s about integrity and image for America. It’s not about 72 year old ex POW’s, it’s about where we want to go in the future. Republican Bush got us in this mess and do we really need a Republican with a hot senile head changing it for the worse? News commentators are right. It’s over for them. It’s gone from bad to worse. They were a mockery. Sure doesn’t make me want McCain or Daisy Mae in there. Obama is a class act that has diplomacy, firmness, class and will earn us the respect once again of Americans and of global leaders.

Tom–I don’t pay attention to the polls. Every poll is different and if we went by them Clinton would have never been elected. The polls had him at 17% this time in 1991.

Palin Power!! More example of meet the press crowd getting pissed. I love it!
Palin 08!

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Giuliani is a fool. Palin is a gimmick. McCain is unstable. Bush is the worst President ever. Lieberman is a traitorous opportunist. The GOP is as much a friend to freedom, as Muslim extremists are to Islam.
Obama/Biden ’08

Palin has more experience in one finger than Obama has in his whole body. What other governor has sold the state plane that they could have been riding around in? Is there another state that has a surplus in their budget? Palin is not part of the “good ole boys network” and doesn’t play that game. McCain made the best choice of all. Obama had to pick someone who could do his job for his vice president since he doesn’t know how to be a president. Noonan and Murphy have lost it…if they ever had IT. McCain doesn’t play party politics and works well with others and Palin is the same type. Go McCain/Palin!!

OBAMA/BIDEN 2008

palin last week: focusing on my kids isn’t fair.
palin tonight: let me exploit, er, um, introduce me kids.
this woman is unstable.

Boy, Obama must be cursing now. He had a chance of picking Senator Clinton and put the race away, wonder why he did not pick Hillary.

ABC MSNBC CNN CBS,,, Sarah Palin just whipped you all with your own whips. She is absolutely AMAZING.

Maybe this is another one of McCain’s jokes. Like the ad he ran about Obama and God. That one wasn’t funny either.

If Sarah Palin is selling hockey sticks, I would’nt buy one from her. She is trying to sell herself and her family and John McCain. She did’nt change my mind and she certainly has not changed the decent Republican minds. The hot mics clearly reveal that there is a divide amongst the Republican party and the conservative (Religion over nation) are for Palin and the true patriots (Country over everything else) are not happy with the Palin choice. I don’t think there will be too much enthusiasm for the ticket amongst the registered Republicans outside of the convention. AS I have been saying all day this was McCain’s retirement party. I predict that it will be a lobsided election Obama 55% and McCain 45%, if Ron Paul runs then it will be Ron Paul 5% and McCain 40%. But Obama will have to work extremely hard and stay on the offensive at all times and clearly articulate what they will do once they get in the office. Obama will also have to clearly state how he is going to cut the deficit.

to Obama’s Coke Dealer
You are an idiot. You think because you can say something negative about Obama that makes you sound intelligent. If you were so smart why don’t you talk face to face to someone.

Obama is doomed. He can blame himself though. He could have won the election by selecting Hillary, stupid.

Did you guys see how Giuliani shredded Obama. Folks, Obama is an empty suit and nothing more. Sarah Palin has more experience than Obama in her finger.

ah.. what is going to happen to my buddy now.

Wow, the GOP looks like a bunch of white supremacist fascists! If the glove fits…
Thank God they look like complete moron losers!!!
WHAT A SNOOZEFEST!!!
They should take some speech lessons from Obama. Actually, he was a Professor, he could teach them about the Constitution, and how NOT TO DESTROY IT. Lol…Republicans have really shot themsleves in the foot this time.
I was undecided, but now, after seeing this charade, i’m voting Obama!

Man you can just hear the venom – stuff like this shows just how much the political establishment is shaking.

Good God, the Republicans are done for!
Might as well just end this thing, and give Obama the job. He’s up in the polls, and after the debates he’ll pull away for sure. The Republicans look like lost little puppies, I almost feel bad for them. Nah, after 8 years of disgracing our nation at home and internationally, they deserve to cry a little.
America for Obama!

Not all Professors have PHD’s you idiot! You just gave yourself away as being uneducated. I went to college, so nice try. Lol…I mean I knew you were dumb but please….I don’t have time for you lightweight, go shoot at trees or something. NEXT!
OBAMA/BIDEN ’08

Huffington post is an opinion page. No fact. It’s a joke. Why can’t you get your news from legitimate websites?

Coke dealer–maybe you can set some of these tight
a$$ liberals up with valium. They are freakin!

Nothing outstanding nor accomplished by Obama Ms. Deena Rockefeller. Biden has done nothing. Only McCain has fought for USA and Palin has it all. The Future is Sister Sarah. Husein is a product of the Weatherman and the corrupt political machine of Chicago. American moms who love instead of abort their children will out produce the liberal whores on the pill. The pluralist in America have never lived under the Kingdom of Mohammedans unless they elect Hussein. Liberty will then be a memory. Look at Lebanon and learn. Purge America of Islam, evil religion of pedophiles and misogynists.

I’m a lifelong Democrat and I really don’t care who wins this election as long as they realize that the last eight years of a Jr. Bush government has brought nothing but hardship on this country and are willing to do what it takes to repair this country’s reputation in the world and begin to heal the country’s sagging economy.

Anyone in politics who by this time does not know that if there is a mic anywhere in the room, then there is a chance it is hot. And if they open their mouths anyway, they are idiots. So these two spoke their mind. Let’s say McCain wins in November. I hope these two don’t need any favors from the Republicans for a while.

Just looking at this thing tactically, I can understand the Republicans desire to downplay this story. But this is a big story and at a really bad time for the Republicans. Perhaps not a “coup de grace”, but close. The Republicans can hope for a slash-and-burn end to this campaign where everyone is brought down,to resurrect their candidate. But barring that, I can’t see much hope for them.

JOHN MCCAIN A TRUE AMERICAN TRAITOR PUTTING HIMSELF FIRST BEFORE HIS OWN COUNTRY.
ASK AMERICAN POWS THEY HAVE NOTHING BUT HAVING SHAME AND BE OFFENDED BY HIM WHILE KNOWING THAT HE WAS CRACKED AND
GAVE UP HIS COUNTRY TO COMMUNISTS PLAYING IN MOVIE AGAINST HIS OWN COUNTRY.
AMERICAN ENEMY MAY WANT THIS COWARD AND CROOK AS PRESIDENT BUT REAL AMERICAN HEROES NOT.

Jesse Jacksom set the standard! At least these guys used polite language.

At least this is what the party voices are saying. Palin did a great job for the base of the RNC, the however they never votes for anyone else. They may not show up to vote however, they are not going any where. So, if you want the middle of the country I think Mike and Peggy know the facts.

The great divide among republicans is between the fiscal and social conservatives. It’s the job of the Republican stategists and moderates to stradle boths camps and make nice even when they don’t share views.
McCain is basically a fiscal conservative. While he has social conservative leanings he is not a zealot. Remember when McCain was more moderate and actually considered a centerist? He dounced Falwell as one of America’s “agents of intolerance.”
Up until a few weeks ago, he was willing to set side his pro-life convictions and nominate pro-choice Lieberman or Tom Ridge as a running mate. He was told by the hard core social conservatives that if he did, he would lose them.
So, McCain has sold his soul and decided to tether to them. It’s no longer possile for him to make that move to the center that many anticipated. His future will be dictated by the far right social conservatives. He is lost to the independents and centerist republicans who were looking forward to the reach-across-the-aisle, consenus-builder McCain they once knew.

Look – this election is a toss-up between a ailing old 72 yr old man with cancer stalking him and a younger generation man who has virtually no experience. What is one to do? Well – we do have to get the younger generations (particularly the Gen X and Gen Y generations) involved in making meaningful change in Washington. Obama is at the tail end of the boomer generation and Palin represents the beginning of the Gen X I believe. I’m not sure why the Democratic party chose Obama over Clinton but they did. I really don’t think either side represents what America truly needs but they are the choices. It’s not a straight forward choice.

I love how conservatives get mad at liberals for what other conservatives say. How the heck does that happen. Just admit your party screwed up and move on. It will not hurt McCain at all. People will forget about it come Nov

S adams: agree that the Gustav comments were low class but how does that reflect on their beliefs about the candidate. Low class vs. our candidate sucks?

Duh. Well of course she was not the most qualified candidate. This is no secret to anyone who is awake and breathing. The question is why did McCain not choose Hutchinson or any of the other 6 or 7 more qualified vp chocies? A clear answer for that has not really been provided by anyone.

S Adams-
Can you seriously look someone in the eye and say that was a good speech? It sounds as if it were written by a spoiled 16 year old upset with her parents. Nothing but snotty, sarcastic half-jokes designed to get the conservatives giggling and huffing. She didn’t look comfortable, she didn’t do ANYTHING to convince moderates or independents…she just went out there and regurgitated slogans. That speech was pathetic, and you know it.
