Live From New York, It’s Sarah (Tiny Fey) Palin!

To bad Obama put a MUZZLE on his American hating wife until after the election. I think Obama has Rev Wright tied up until after the election.

ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos and the rest of the NEWS heads act like sick in love school girls when ever they talk about Obama. You would think they are gay and have an infatuation for Obama. MSNBC is the worst.

Saturday Night Live really bashed Palin last night.
They ridiculed everything about her for not knowing what the Bush doctrine is to her “for the Bridge to Nowhere before was against it”.
My husband and I were totally cracking up!

The press has fallen under Palin spell and is not calling her on all her LIES.
Palin is not only Pro-Life but she is PRO-LIE!!
Right now McCain is battling Palin as who will be the BIGGEST LIAR IN CHIEF.

Sandra
Your another filthy rotten pig with lipstick

TODAY:
You are another PIG WITH LIPSTICK! Senator Obama never called any one a pig with lipstick! It’s fools like you
who would rather spread a lie than tell the truth! Republican huh??!!!

The McCain/Palin supporters really need to grow up. Here they are complaining about stupid, petty, trivial things when their VP candidate is increasingly being exposed as a corrupt, unethical, and power hungry person. I’ve read several articles just this morning about some of the things she’s done as governor of Alaska (never mind what she did as mayor of Wasilla). There’s a common theme emerging about Sarah Palin and it’s pretty ugly. So before the McCain/Palin supporters get all bent out of shape you might want to take a look at your own candidates. John McCain is now being called out as a liar (check the non-partisan groups like factcheck.org and politfact) and Sarah Palin is embroiled in an investigation of abuse of power. Those are real concerns to me and they should be to most Americans. Can we afford 4 more years with a President and VP who show no regard for our country by lying to us and abusing their power when hiring and firing people?

Mary
You think Obama is the best thing since sliced bread. Did you know he is a BABY KILLER

RC
Did you know that Palin was a Mayor and started her own fishing fleet. What did Obama do. Oh as Hillary put it he gave a speech.
Before you crtizize Palin on experience is that what Obama is lacking. Palin has done more before her 21st birthday while Obama was doing crack at 21. McCain was a POW at 21 serving our country. YOU SCUM BUCKET

Ha Phucking Ha
Not only did everyone beat the McCain team in defining Sarah Agnew…I mean Palin she provided all the necessary tools to get the job done.
Palin is the gift that keeps on giving, better yet she’s sort of like a blessing from God.

Hey Obama followers-
Keep up the sexist name calling. Please! Keep doing it. It really shows the kind of people you are. Every nasty comment made you people pushes women over to McCain/Palin’s side. You’re digging your own grave, dumbasses.

RC,
How old are “U”? Nice slogans. They really set you apart from your ridiculous counterparts. Keep blogging!

What does this article have to do with Obama?
Seriously guys.
I know you guys get paid to monitor news articles and try to spin reality with ludicrous posts about Obama, but give it a rest. Sarah Palin is a train wreck, and every Republican operative on every laptop in the country isn’t going to change that.
If people want to vote for the Republican Party to lead us out of the collapse of all our financial institutions when they’ve been in office for eight years, be my guest.
And ladies, you finally have the opportunity to vote for a woman and end your reproductive rights! Woo-Hoo!

michael..if you use your logic then McCain called Hillary Clinton a pig during the primary. Is that what you’re saying?

He probably did… Yet the media is comparing Obama to a savior. Do you know his policies Mary OR are you just a blind follower?

She lies with such an ease, it’s unbelievable, and when she gets caught she continue to stand by the lies.
She must think everybody is stupid or she is incredibly dumb.

No his own website says it….
he wants to ‘eliminate any discrimatory barriers to voting.”
Either 1) Illegals 2) Felons 3) Minors

michael…I don’t hear anyone comparing Obama to a savior except Fox News and some of the diehard McCain supporters. And yes, I’m very familiar with how Obama stands on the issues.

RAG HEAD—I be damm to have idiots like you to have mine internet IP address. Sound like you on the rag!

Um, could you correct the headline to read “TINA Fey”?
Otherwise, great anecdote.

Obvious, remember that what you refer to as “reproductive rights” is the ending of a life, one that is helpless to defend his or herself.

Lisa…and McCain never reversed on an issue? How about immigration reform, offshore drilling, Bush tax cuts, running a respectable camapign. I could go on and on. Then of course there’s his VP pick who is all about earmarks and is under investigation for abuse of power.

The whole country saw her wallowing in the dirt during her convention speech. I guess that is why the McCain camp was so sensitive to any mention of a pig.

JESUS WAS A REFORMER, NOT A COMMUNITY ORGANIZER. BUT WE DO HAVE A HISTORY OF SOME FAMOUS COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS SUCH AS:
Adolf Hitler, Mussolini, Al Capone and Barack Obama.

Obama Supports…
1) Sex Education For Kindergarten Students.(5 Year Olds)
2) Giving Drivers Licenses for Illegals.
3) Affirmative Action.
4) Abortion or Pro-Choice.
5) Eliminating Discriminatory Borders For Those To Vote.(Illegals)

What ever happened to the Dream Ticket?
I was for Hillary before Obama won the nomination. I was really hoping Hillary would have ran with McCain but how likely was that?

God Bless America.
Obama/Biden ’08

If it were something that needs to be done and truely is discriminatory then he would just say what it is not hide it

TIM,

That is fine with me but they seem to be dodging Obama and the real issues at stake.

michael…sadly in this country there is a history of some trying to prevent African-American people from voting especially in the South. Just this week there is news that in Ohio the Republican Party is trying to keep people who have lost their homes to foreclosure from being able to register to vote. African-Americans as a whole are more likely to be lower income so this would impact them more. This is the “discriminatory barriers to voting” that needs to be fixed.

Michael, you are spewing repulsive Rebpublican garbage– Obama supports AGE APPROPRIATE sex education for children. Anyone with a brain (okay, you’re excused)understands that for children in kindergarten that is teaching them about inappropriate touching. You have some PROBLEM with teaching kids that there are perverts out there who want to harm them!?

Oh, so you want to talk about dark sides? Obama’s got everyone beat in that department.

SNL isn’t going to make or break the election. Nonetheless a candidate has to be able to laugh at themselves. Look at George Bush. Elected twice. He thinks portrayals of him on SNL are funny. The joke is on us in the end.

Charles
I’d be willing to bet you have a dark side as much as Obama,
Be careful about throwing the first stone.
McCain isn’t any better.

shay – it’s fool’s like you who can’t read between the line’s, when has obama ever used the line lipstick on a pig, that line is most heard from on the republican side and McCain has been known to use that phrase which talk’s about pork barrel project’s that are a waste! obama is more of a pork barrel democrat than what you make Palin out to be being pork barrel republican. that comment about lipstick was a smack from the left to slow down the McCain/Palin ticket and if you can’t see that then you are the fool, plus, if you are voting for obama then you are even more of a fool. why did the crowd love that statement from obama and laughed uncontrolably, because they knew what he really was refering to. so how is it when it comes to lipstick on a pig, obama can say that when the obama/biden ticket put together put the McCain/Palin ticket to shame on pork barrel spending. obama and biden are at the top 10% of their democratic class with pork! obama has not even been in the ILL. senate or U.S. that long and has never finished either term before running for something else and you talk about experience. how can he never vote yes or no on bill’s and still be at the top of the pork list himself?

ABC is using it liberal staff to trash an extradonary women. Their cutting of quotes she made to Charlie Gibson is just one example. Every time the liberal media attacks Ms Palin, the country gets made ans Obama falls more behind in the polls. i have no respect for Charlie Gibson anymore.

Palin’s inexperience shows.
Other vice presidents and even presidents have been relatively inexperienced in foreign affairs, but Palin’s limitations are laughable for someone seeking the second highest office in the free world. She said that until she traveled to Kuwait and Germany to visit Alaska national guardsmen last year, her previous foreign travels were only to Canada and Mexico. Until recently, Americans were not even required to obtain a passport to visit those bordering countries. In an awkward exchange with Gibson, Palin had obviously never heard of the “Bush Doctrine”–the justification for launching unilateral, preemptive wars. You’d expect even an ordinary hockey mom would know about that, especially if, as Palin proudly noted in the interview, that very day she was sending “my first born, my teenage son” to the war in Iraq launched under the self-same Bush Doctrine. She committed a faux pas concerning the Cold War in claiming that America had defeated Communism “without a shot fired.” The prospective vice president seems unaware that the Cold War involved hot proxy wars throughout Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe and Latin America during a span of 45 long years. The U.S. alone lost 58,000 troops in Vietnam, and the Cold War nearly led to nuclear annihilation during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
What I find more worrying than Palin’s lack of experience is her lack of humility about it. “I’m ready,” she declared, after Gibson challenged her to “look the country in the eye and say ‘I have the experience and I have the ability’.” You might be able to get away substituting self confidence for knowledge in a high school history debate, but it isn’t a good mindset for a leader who may have her finger on the nuclear trigger. Palin had duly rehearsed the pronunciations of difficult foreign names like Ahmadinejad and Saakashvili. Very good! Then she sounded sophomoric, as McCain has done, in straining to argue that Alaska’s close geographical proximity to Russia was tantamount to providing her with foreign policy expertise. When Gibson asked her what insights into Russia the proximity gave her, she replied, “You can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska.” (I wonder if she can look inside Putin’s soul from that distance–Bush didn’t do so well in that regard, and he was standing right next to the Russian president.) Nearly as bad, Palin argued that her support for developing Alaska’s oil and gas reserves was another foreign policy “credential.” Maybe we should ask Bill Gates: does owning a computer, or even having seen one once, while shopping at Best Buy, qualify someone to be the next vice president of Microsoft?

Shouldn’t the American people be concerned that Palin is under investigation for abuse of power? That’s a huge red flag for me.

SNL nailed it, and I hope people were thinking as well as laughing.
And to the Faux News Talking Point trolls out there: Don’t you care about this country at all? Look at the damage that has been done to the USA over the last eight years and consider whether your dumb*ss culture war and politics of divisiveness and hate are good for America. This isn’t a game; this isn’t about winning at all costs. We have reaped the consequences of electing GW Bush and his neocon cronies and we CANNOT afford another idiot warmongering puppet in the White House. Stop the madness. Do your homework. Vote for Obama, who is authentic and experienced and smart and who clearly cares about this country’s future.

John McCain was for the “gas tax holiday”. Just this week Congress had to bailout the Highway Trust fund (8 billion in the hole) so highway and bridge projects could go forward. The Highway Trust fund gets it’s money from the tax on gas. This proves to me that McCain (and apparently his advisers) have no basic understanding of how the economy works.

Ok, so who are the DUMBASSES who voted for George Bush in the last two elections?
Best guess it’s the exact same people who are falling for the McCain-Palin show. The “Real Americuns”.
It never ceases to amaze me how gullible our nation can be. Put a couple waving flags behind you, say “patriot” a few times, and you can lie to the faces of 50% of Americans.
Funny how no one wants to admit Bush is a Republican these days. They showed Bush for all of 7 minutes at the convention and he’s the PRESIDENT. No one dared say the word “CHENEY” the entire convention. They didn’t want to remind America what the GOP really stands for -Gas,Oil, and Pipelines.

Obama is still a fake, even after all the money he has raised and after all the speeches that he have been delivering from the heavenly skies.

Angela,
My husband and I were howling too. Gee I am sure the wingers thought it was funny when SNL lampooned Obama, but somehow, its off limits when its Sarah Palin. I guess what’s got them steamed is that Tina Fey really only used things Sarah Palin has herself said to get the laughs. Fey is talented, but it is the preposterousness of the idea of Palin as VP that is really the source of the joke.

Let’s not forget what Obama has been listening to for the past 20 years.
Malcolm X’s statement on Black Liberation Theory:
“Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community … Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy.”

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0908/13412...
“We recognize it’s not going to be 2000 again,” McCain spokesman Brian Rogers said, alluding to the media’s swooning coverage of McCain’s ill-fated crusade against then-Gov. George W. Bush and the GOP establishment. “But he lost then. We’re running a campaign to win. And we’re not too concerned about what the media filter tries to say about it.”
McCain strategists now have became even more sure of themselves after the picture-perfect reaction — in the GOP’s view — to the decision to put Palin on the ticket. The choice provoked derision from elites, jubilation among conservative voters long skeptical of McCain and uncertainty from Obama about how to respond. If you are a McCain staffer, it doesn’t get better than that — so who cares that the candidate had met her only once and her chief foreign policy credential seems to be that she lives closer to Russia than other Americans.
With polls moving in their direction and a unanimous view in the political world that the fundamentals of the race have changed dramatically in the past few weeks, McCain aides aren’t about to drop a flood-the-zone approach that they believe has worked. “Most people would have been afraid to have called him out on race,” boasted an adviser. “And we’re not going to let sexism or denigration of her go unchecked now.”
On all three counts — their portrayal of Obama as a celebrity, outrage at his purported use of race and his flat-footedness and confusion on how to respond to Palin — McCain aides saw weakness and indecision.
It adds up to a campaign that is now unapologetically aggressive and aimed almost entirely at keeping Obama off-message, even if it means hitting him below the belt in the process.
“Clearly we intend to stay on offense,” Rogers said. “That’s what we need to do because the campaign is fundamentally about him. We feel comfortable about the ads we’re running and arguments we’re making.”
And, given their surge in the polls and Obama’s uncertainty about how to respond to the Palin phenomenon, they’re going to keep it up.
“Every day not talking about the economy, the war and how to fix a broken system is a victory for McCain,” said John Weaver, a former top strategist to the nominee who left the campaign last year. “They’re going to ride it as long as they can and as long as the mainstream media puts up every ridiculous charge.”
The negative and often exaggerated or misleading claims being made about Obama and Delaware Sen. Joe Biden, especially those playing on Palin’s gender, are just too irresistible for the process-consumed online and cable news media that now drives the campaign conversation, Weaver said.
“Unless there is a hurricane, they’re going to cover it,” he observed.
Added Terry Nelson, McCain’s former campaign manager: “It works in part because Obama responds to it.”

777, Nice Try. Red Herring. Same Rovian BS that is supposed to scare folks into voting for the least-able candidate.
Obama isn’t Malcolm X, and his church didn’t embrace Black Liberation Theory/ Theology. Congregation mixed and mostly middle-class, mainstream folk.
However I do believe Sarah Palin’s church embraced some rather interesting ideas…why don’t you embarrass yourself and dig into that?

Palin should just stay in Alaska, and fight the corrupt politics and outlandish crime waves there, before trying to face the rest of the world. McCain is playing her, as his ‘Sex’ card, to ‘Wow’ the counrty. Hopefully she will not fall for it much longer. She still has time to save face, by not falling for McCain’s lies.I just can not see her as completly dense.She young enough to grow up.

Folks should have to pass an IQ test before being allowed to vote. There are some Pro-Palin folks making comments on this thread that would certain NOT pass.

ha ha ha ha .
Sarah Palin does not have foreign policy credentials to be the VICE-PRESIDENT, but Obama has the foreign policy experience to be the PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!!!!
Ha ha ha ha……
No wonder Obamanaics are losing the election big time. We had a good chance of taking on McCain with Hillary on the top, and Obama as VP. We blew it.
The hypocrisy of Obamamaniacs is so sickening we are all voting McCain/Palin 08!!!!

gp…I’m sorry that you consider looking at Palin’s record as contempt by the media. The only way the American people can find out what any candidate stands for is by the media. So it sounds like you’re OK with everything if the media sides with your candidate (Fox News, for example) but no one else should report anything. Well, in my book that’s censorship. Remember the Constitution says we shall have freedom of the press. The founding fathers thaought that the American people should be informed about everything and then they should decide where they stand. Maybe the founding fathers were protecting us from people like you.

It is interesting to read these “bloggers” and their comments. The one who supports Obama called the others stupid, idiot, etc… yet he can not even spell or complete a sentence correctly. The one who supports McCain defends his policies can not articulate.
Here are my suggestions:
1. STOP the BUL#$%^^&**.
2. When you attack someone, present the evidence to support it. (NOT hearsay)
3. Compare and contrast the differences between candidates.
4. American voters are NOT stupid. Although, there are some total “ignorant.”
For example, one blogger stated that Palin banned books. Please explain what books were banned and under what legislation they are applied.
On the other hand, one blogger pointed out the Obama economic plan was great. Please explain how does his economic plan is better than McCain’s.
We need to be civilized. Name calling does not solve anything. It creates a barrier among ourselves who have different views. Aren’t we ALL American.
Let’s expose the strength and weakness of our leaders.

Palin is preposterous as VP but Obama is qualified to be President?
Scary too how some on here actually believe that Palin banned books.
Media standards in this country are on the verge of collapse.

I’m one of the small doners who’s contributed to the Obama campaign. I’m a 76 year old woman whose income is Social Security. The collapse of Enron – Bush protected – took almost all my savings. You better believe that my small donation, the first I’ve ever made to a political candidate, cut a hole in my budget, but to me it is worth it.
The acrimonious back-biting and name calling evidenced in some of these posts especially from McCain supporters,is worthy of 3-year olds
scrapping in a sandbox.
I guess it’s true that people hear what they want to hear, not what has actually been said. If people vote only for the candidates they think are singing their song, they aren’t voting for what’s best for the whole country, just what’s best for them as an individual.

Obama sure says he’s worried about the war in Afghanistan but hasn’t done one thing in the Senate to support success in Afghanistan.
He didn’t even show up for Senate Foreign Relations Committee Hearings on Afghan strategy.
Guess he was too busy running for President.

This is not about the media. This is about Sarah Palin. This is about the fact that she is not up to par in her ability to lead the United States in a time of emergency.
The president of America is not limited to reading prepared speeches, you must have the intelligence to wade through very complex issues.
Suggesting your foreign policy experience is based on the fact that you live close to Russia is crazy to say the least.

Tina Fey is awesome. Her portrayal of Sarah was perfect – even the voice. It’s a must see!

mccain is calling all women c#nts

Just click ‘play’!

suepee – your wrong on that, they are mixed low-income middle-class people that also understand what is coming out of the rev’s mouth. and that area they are in is african-american in majority with mixes of latino and asian with a small amout white in the community, not the concregation which is almost completely african-american. and what right mind christian pastor invite’s a radical like louis farrakan to speak his hatred about white christians and america as a whole. and by the way, i know the area of that chruch because i drive a truck for a living in chicago around there, and let me tell you what, the traffic suck’s.

Below is direct quote in Time Magazine:
13 paragraphs down from the top. Feel free to read it.
http://www.time.com/time/politics/article/0,8599,1837918,00.html
Stein says that as mayor, Palin continued to inject religious beliefs into her policy at times. “She asked the library how she could go about banning books,” he says, because some voters thought they had inappropriate language in them. “The librarian was aghast.” That woman, Mary Ellen Baker, couldn’t be reached for comment, but news reports from the time show that Palin had threatened to fire Baker for not giving “full support” to the mayor.

since when have republicans ever cared about sexism or womens rights?
oh i know this one about two weeks ago is when lol

And this article is on her Bridge to nowhere which she was originally for and now says she is against.
Again read for yourself:

These articles are easy to find.

Either way she is scary.

================================
Yup…Yup….yup
Enquiring about banning books IS SCARY.
But the following are NOT SCARY:
1. Going to Kenya in 2006 to campaign for a political faction that is aligned with Islamic fundamentalists.
2. Having convicted domestic terrorist Bill Ayer’s as your political guru.
3. And because of number #2 above Obama wouldn’t pass background security check if he ACTUALLY applied for the job of FBI agent.
hmmmmmmmmm …NOT SCARY
Yup…Yup….yup
Enquiring about banning books IS SCARY.

Palin has isolated herself in her home State. Even Rudy Giuliani, admits he never met her, or heard much of her. McCain is a ‘Sexist’, and thinks the American vote can be bought by a ‘pretty’ face.McCain will lose because, 95% of the people will realize, they clean the boots, of an Imperialistic government, and really do want a change. The middle class and lower class are the ones who can not afford $4 a gallon for gas.At least Obama wants to get away from foreign oil. The 5% have alot of money wrapped up in many oil deals, and are lobbing for McCain, so he will slow the energy conversion.This means more money for the 5%.Why else can the middle class barely invest, in their own future.Obama at least gives us a change, back to the Republic our forefathers dreamt of. McCain still wants the Capitolistic society that we are currently in.I feel bad, that a ‘hockey mom’, became McCain’s ‘sex scandel’.But she has time to run for President again next election.Unless everyone feels she is only a V.P. ‘washout’.Please let her regroup herself for the next election.She may even be able, to reach the children in Alaska, and bring her States crime rate and pregnancy rate under control.

Yes, Georgia provoked Russia. Those pesky democracies and their alliances with other like minded countries.
Funny how Obama eventually came around to the McCain position on the issue though.
At least it didn’t take him 20 years like it did to figure out that Rev Wright isn’t that great of a guy.

You Palin supports wanted facts on Palin. I just gave you two articles by two independent news agencies.
I am not against McCain having a good VP, but it would be nice if he had one that doesn’t tell half truths especially in that first big speech of hers.
ST. PAUL, Minn. – Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and her Republican supporters held back little Wednesday as they issued dismissive attacks on Barack Obama and flattering praise on her credentials to be vice president. In some cases, the reproach and the praise stretched the truth.
Some examples:
PALIN: “I have protected the taxpayers by vetoing wasteful spending … and championed reform to end the abuses of earmark spending by Congress. I told the Congress ‘thanks but no thanks’ for that Bridge to Nowhere.”
THE FACTS: As mayor of Wasilla, Palin hired a lobbyist and traveled to Washington annually to support earmarks for the town totaling $27 million. In her two years as governor, Alaska has requested nearly $750 million in special federal spending, by far the largest per-capita request in the nation. While Palin notes she rejected plans to build a $398 million bridge from Ketchikan to an island with 50 residents and an airport, that opposition came only after the plan was ridiculed nationally as a “bridge to nowhere.”
PALIN: “There is much to like and admire about our opponent. But listening to him speak, it’s easy to forget that this is a man who has authored two memoirs but not a single major law or reform — not even in the state senate.”
THE FACTS: Compared to McCain and his two decades in the Senate, Obama does have a more meager record. But he has worked with Republicans to pass legislation that expanded efforts to intercept illegal shipments of weapons of mass destruction and to help destroy conventional weapons stockpiles. The legislation became law last year. To demean that accomplishment would be to also demean the work of Republican Sen. Richard Lugar of Indiana, a respected foreign policy voice in the Senate. In Illinois, he was the leader on two big, contentious measures in Illinois: studying racial profiling by police and requiring recordings of interrogations in potential death penalty cases. He also successfully co-sponsored major ethics reform legislation.
PALIN: “The Democratic nominee for president supports plans to raise income taxes, raise payroll taxes, raise investment income taxes, raise the death tax, raise business taxes, and increase the tax burden on the American people by hundreds of billions of dollars.”
THE FACTS: The Tax Policy Center, a think tank run jointly by the Brookings Institution and the Urban Institute, concluded that Obama’s plan would increase after-tax income for middle-income taxpayers by about 5 percent by 2012, or nearly $2,200 annually. McCain’s plan, which cuts taxes across all income levels, would raise after tax-income for middle-income taxpayers by 3 percent, the center concluded.
Obama would provide $80 billion in tax breaks, mainly for poor workers and the elderly, including tripling the Earned Income Tax Credit for minimum-wage workers and higher credits for larger families.
He also would raise income taxes, capital gains and dividend taxes on the wealthiest. He would raise payroll taxes on taxpayers with incomes above $250,000, and he would raise corporate taxes. Small businesses that make more than $250,000 a year would see taxes rise.
MCCAIN: “She’s been governor of our largest state, in charge of 20 percent of America’s energy supply … She’s responsible for 20 percent of the nation’s energy supply. I’m entertained by the comparison and I hope we can keep making that comparison that running a political campaign is somehow comparable to being the executive of the largest state in America,” he said in an interview with ABC News’ Charles Gibson.
THE FACTS: McCain’s phrasing exaggerates both claims. Palin is governor of a state that ranks second nationally in crude oil production, but she’s no more “responsible” for that resource than President Bush was when he was governor of Texas, another oil-producing state. In fact, her primary power is the ability to tax oil, which she did in concert with the Alaska Legislature. And where Alaska is the largest state in America, McCain could as easily have called it the 47th largest state — by population.
MCCAIN: “She’s the commander of the Alaska National Guard. … She has been in charge, and she has had national security as one of her primary responsibilities,” he said on ABC.
THE FACTS: While governors are in charge of their state guard units, that authority ends whenever those units are called to actual military service. When guard units are deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan, for example, they assume those duties under “federal status,” which means they report to the Defense Department, not their governors. Alaska’s national guard units have a total of about 4,200 personnel, among the smallest of state guard organizations.
FORMER ARKANSAS GOV. MIKE HUCKABEE: Palin “got more votes running for mayor of Wasilla, Alaska than Joe Biden got running for president of the United States.”
THE FACTS: A whopper. Palin got 616 votes in the 1996 mayor’s election, and got 909 in her 1999 re-election race, for a total of 1,525. Biden dropped out of the race after the Iowa caucuses, but he still got 76,165 votes in 23 states and the District of Columbia where he was on the ballot during the 2008 presidential primaries.
FORMER MASSACHUSETTS GOV. MITT ROMNEY: “We need change, all right — change from a liberal Washington to a conservative Washington! We have a prescription for every American who wants change in Washington — throw out the big-government liberals, and elect John McCain and Sarah Palin.”
THE FACTS: A Back-to-the-Future moment. George W. Bush, a conservative Republican, has been president for nearly eight years. And until last year, Republicans controlled Congress. Only since January 2007 have Democrats have been in charge of the House and Senate.

I guess you republicans are lookin for anything to double talk your way out of things by covering up the truth and spreeding lies about Obama putting words in this mouth and basicly doing everything to spear the democrats and then attack us for tryin to fight back!!McCain/Pain havn’t said and done anything but put Obama/biden down to make themselves look better which had been used time and time again.
wake up america!! votr for someone who will stand up for the middle class and change what has been happening the last eight years!! McCain/palin aren’t going to change anything and haven’t even explained their platform and I can’t wait for the debats and hope Obama/biden call them on all their cards!!!

Look its not Palins fault she has no experiance and is being hid from the media. It’s the sexist liberal main stream’s fault! NOT!!.
GOP cry babies. The GOP is the pig and Palin is the lipstick. It’s ok GOP keep polishing that turd I think you missed a spot and it hides behind sarah palin!

Why are people trying to abolish our freedom of religion. Isn’t that what the Roman Government tried to do. Maybe those who wish to destory our constitutional rights, should move to Rome, and let the Americans be Free to choose. After all that was why We are called the United States of America and not Imperialistic Rome.Do you believe in a free democracy or that we should become a fiefdom?

the way some of you guys comment on here, i wouldn’t think you were even old enough to vote. be civil.

Instead of trying to steal Obama’s message of change why can’t they just use one that is more appropriate to them….Ready to lie on day one

That’s what makes this nation of ours the greatest on the planet. Being able to disagree with someone at the top of your lungs and then walk away peacefully. You gotta love it.

Let’s talk about Obama’s honesty. The guy sat in Rev Wright’s church twice per month for 20 years, had the guy baptize his daughters, and says he never had a clue about his anti-american racist comments.

What is up with Sarah Palin not taking any questions from regular folks and the press during her McCain campaigning events? Does the McCain handlers really believe after two weeks on the National political stage, Americans are not curious to see how she respond to non scripted questions? How can person run the country when they are not allowed to run their mouth? How presidential is she if she can’t say to her handlers, look I can handle any question anyone put to me!

What’s interesting is that with all the problems in the US and the low approval of Bush, the dems are poised to lose their 3rd straight presidential election.

Palin for President – 2012!

Alrighty then, everybody calm down here…there’s not reason to smear your lipstick all over the place…
The latest ad by Obama ridiculing an american hero like McCain for being tortured in the war, breaking his bones, including his fingers making it impossible for him to type on a keyboard or tie his shoes…is just a ‘play on words”, taken “out of context”, isn’t “mean spirited” or sick in any way, shape of form…
RIGHT!!!!! What a sick bunch of moonbats

Hello all,
I would like to not make a comment on the race and I will keep my political feelins away. This is about the rudeness and cruelness I am seeing on these posts. If people want to have a real conversation about the issues it seems to be impossible on this page.
Name calling and not listening gets up nowhere. And can we please move away from the swearing, I am an EBD teacher and have to listen to that all day from my students, perhaps we act a little more grown-up and use “real” words to express our feelings.

I’m sure Obama will make it on SNL soon unless there is a conflict with a Daily Kos convention.

All I have to say is Palin’s voice
is very annoying. She does not have
a pleasant voice for a woman.
Bedsides she is not fit to be Vice-President or President. She isn’t
even fit to be in Alaska.
She lies and has done things that I find
appalling.
I do not want her representing woman of
this country. She is a embarrassment.

What a lovely bunch.

The skit really put those two women in perspective. I LMAO. Good stuff SNL

RICK—Excellent post!!!! Love it.READY TO LIE ON DAY ONE. REPUBLICANS NEW SLOGAN!

I agree with Nottakingquestions. A part of putting Country first, “Presently at least”, is picking a VP choice who can step up to the job from day one. Well I guess we have to take McCain’s work for it. He would never lie. Sarah Palin is not allowed to answer questions from people at her events so that the American public can second guess McCain.

I am guessing Palin and her handlers were angry and worried and didn’t crack a smile during the whole show. I mean, it was a nasty, nasty little skit.
But they will contact SNL to try to get a joint appearance with Fey and Palin to be able to lie and say “look what a good sport Palin is!” Politics 101 in the modern media age. Try to show you are “in on the joke.”
Personally, I hope the media take HRC’s (Amy Poeler’s) advice and “grow a pair.”
I want some real questions thrown at her as tough as those thrown at McCain, Obama, and Bidden. Go ahead. Ask her about dinosuars sometime. ;o)

I thought only humans made mistakes.

The Republican base is the backwash at the bottom of the glass. They will support any RNC PIG njo matter how immoral and deceitful they are.
Sarah Palin LIED about visiting the troops in Iraq, a spokesperson for the Republican vice presidential nominee confirmed Saturday.
If Obama did such a thing his campaign would be over.
Palin is an AIP supporter and her husband was an AIP member who would REMOVE A STAR FROM THE US FLAG.

if you can’t stand the heat get out of the kitchen Sarah.

Palin never said she visited Iraq, a campaign spokesperson did.
If you watch the interview with Charlie, she doesn’t mention Iraq as part of her trip abroad.
Pesky facts.

Wait, but according to Joe Biden, Obama is not the typical black person because he’s clean and articulate.

I start reading this thread and people are writing about Wright? It’s true the press are sitting on the Wright story and since this is ABC/Stephanopoulos it’s a good place to bring it up although it has shown up on other shows.
In late March on “This Week” George had Cynthia Tucker and Jay Carney of Time. Cynthia talked about the church, her brother and friends go there. She described what the church and sermon were really like, nothing like those clips.
But more important George asked Jay when they’d hear more about Wright. Jay said they’d had reporters going through years and years of the sermons trying to find more and they were pretty much through them and just hadn’t found anything very controversial so there really wasn’t any story.
Obama wasn’t there the days of the sermons they clipped minutes from. Time reporters went through years and years of sermons and they weren’t controversial and that is not a story?
You’re right that there is an untold story…Obama went to a church and heard non-controversial sermons. Oh my!
And by the way his wife is still campaigning like she did before, as always mostly home with their kids. Guess the press is waiting for something that sounds controversial, otherwise evidently there is no story.
And Tina did a GREAT Palin!

Maybe Obama can be the VP for Hillary when she runs against Palin in 2012.

Unfortunately there are too many people like Carol in the U.S. While I disagree with her, I applaud her honesty.
It’s better to state who you are than to hide behind flimsy excuses.

Barack Obama has earned all the positive press he has received from ABC news and other networks. Michelle Obama is a savvy, intelligent woman whose comments about being proud of America for the first time in her life were taken far too literally. As one who is the same age as Michelle, I related to her comment, in that – as an international traveler and one who lives in diverse, cosmopolitan U.S. city – I have been ashamed at the damage the current administration has done to our country, innocent civilians in Iraq, our soldiers who are fighting a war even they don’t understand, and our international relations. I also couldn’t hold my head high in the early 80′s when I spent a good deal of time overseas when Reagan was president. If you wanted to be respected and treated with regard, you had better say you were from Canada and not the U.S. America-haters were rampant during that time. Barack and Michelle Obama bring a dignity and class to the political climate here in the U.S. One of balance and building a better world. Other administrations have been ego-centric power hungry, with great disregard to the environmental and global ramifications of their greed. ABC, please continue to focus on Barack Obama/Joe Biden and allow the country to see what an exceptional choice they are to improve our country and make us all prouder to be Americans.

If the Citizens of this great Country fall for another Republican sham…..then there is nothing anyone else can do to help us. After 8 years of George Bush….Republicans are UP in the polls??? Losing homes, salaries down, gas prices sky rocket….no health insurances….and that is acceptable to American Citizens?? This Sarah Palin is hiding from the press….there is a reason for that. For those holding tightly onto the Wright controversy…at least Obama stood up and discussed it, made a decision and didn’t hide from the Press Core. Where is your girl Sarah? She is not qualifited….she is a lovely lady and she should go home to her children. Obviously, they need her guidance more than the American People.

The skit was spot-on, dead eye funny and what made it funny was the use of Palin’s own words.
As far as the inflammatory baiting going back and forth, it’s a good indicator of several things:
1. Somewhere along the way some US citizens have forgotten what it’s like to be civil.
2. Somewhere along the way some US citizens stopped using their own brains.
3. Somewhere along the way some US citizens decided that 50% of the nation don’t matter or don’t count.
4. Somewhere along the way some US citizens lost all integrity and think lying is just a’okay.
5. Somewhere along the way some US citizens feel it’s more important to be an ideological zealot than to think about the good of the nation.
6. Somewhere along the way some US citizens failed to realize Jesus was a liberal.

disillusioned 2008-
I’ll vote for representation when I have it. Would Hillary expect me to have a baby even in cases of rape or incest? No. So let me know when a woman with real judgement is on the ticket. Thanks, but no thanks.
By the way, Hillary was not my choice in the dem. primaries. If it ended up being between her or Palin, Palin would lose.
Community organizers-
What would Palin think about Elizabeth Cody Stanton or Susan B. Anthony? Did they do any real work for women?

The media are doing the job that the American public expects. Palin is not “ready for prime time” and this little act of hers against the media is just a snow job put on to attrack some more suckers to her side.
And,as for this new found Republican understanding and support for women- well that is just BS. Senator Obama has more respect and understanding of women’s issues than both McCain and Palin. Palin doesn’t support any women’s issues and McCain has no respect for women at all- except those who have a lot of money. Just read about how he treated his first wife with disprespect and disregard.

Somebody, please tell me. What the hell is a “Full Excerpt”?, aside from the obvious fact that it is Double-Speak BS.

Please media-I beg you- DO NOT LET THIS WOMAN GET AWAY WITH AVOIDING YOU! She has proven she has no skills/knowledge other than what’s necessary to energize Bush’s moronic base.

lol!!! you guys are just nutty. obama rocks, and he will be our next president. you’ve had your chance with Bush, and he’s a joke to the world.
now step aside and let the democrats fix what you guys have broken.

Obama was not saying that pigs wear lipstick, just women, “Sweety.”

delusioned2008 – Palin in no way represents me as a woman. I will not vote for “representation”, I will vote for the candidate that represnts my interests the best and that is Obama. Having said that, the Palin/Hillary opener was HILARIOUS (on both sides). Fey is brilliant!

I think the press is absolutely critical to the outcome of the presidential race — more so now than ever before. I hope they can investigate and report on the truth and debunk all candidates’ lies and explain the candidates’ positions in a way that busy tired Americans can understand. The press needs to work especially hard with Palin because she’s so new on the scene and time is so short and she could very well be President of United States if McCain is elected and then dies. From what I’m starting to find out by digging around on the internet, she is unfit for the job. I strongly support Obama/Biden.

James – then I suppose McCain was also insulting women a few month ago when he used the EXACT same phrase to describe Clinton’s health care plan? You REALLY don’t want to start slinging mud about Obama and sexism when McCain has said more than a few derogatory comments about women himself.

Allie, Obama is a smart lawyer who knows how to choose his words carefully, that what he does for a living, and to use that term less than 2 weeks after she made a headline joke about it was obvious as his intent. And if you believe your statement, then McCain was only referring to you.

I understand Obama canceled his appearance on SNL, supposedly due to the Hurricane? More likely, he didn’t want to contribute to his aura as that of last years American Idol.

Why are so many people in love with Obama? He’s just another black from Chicago. They are also in love with his voice, which is the only thing going for him. Matter of fact, Obama is in love with his own voice. He has alot of people under his spell. I think he is a terrorist at heart. He won’t get my vote.

Sexism? I thought the S in John S. McCain stood for sexist. His rap sheet on sexist comments is too long to state here.

DougBH what a crock! First OBAMA is so Political he would go on SNL while Americans are in harms way and Now, according to you, he didn’t want to contribute to his aura as that of last years American Idol. You had it both ways which ever his SNL decision.

Lynne, if Palin’s a “useless twit” whose ran a family, a town and a State that supplies 20% of ours and yours energy, then what does that make you, useless vapor?

Wow, this is really sad. All you have to do is read through a few of the comments here to see why this country is so screwed up. Apparently, it’s not enough to just support and feel passionately about your chosen candidate. The language, names and vile trashing of both partie’s candidates on these boards disgusts me. What happened to having a basic level of respect for the nominees and the process? While I support one candidate over the other because of the issues that are personal to me, I still respect both candidates and believe they are both running for the right reasons. There is no reason for the kind of filth that is permeating these comment boards. This kind of thing is NOT something Americans should be proud of. When you look in the mirror, what do you see?

Wake up some of you people. In the last eight years the national debt has tripled, gas has tripled, government has tripled, and most everyones income is going down. Its funny that the republicans use the same tactics they’ve been using since I can remember. We need to reduce the size of government….Yet it tripled since they had control over congress and the presidency. Palin? A woman who hired a guy that sexually harassed his secretary. Who was mayor of a town where her sister took over after her departure. Who did her sister beat? Her mother-in-law. I just don’t feel that she is ready for the real politics of Washington. McCain could have choosen a lot of better candidates to take over president if anything was to happen to him. Republicans….stop trying to portrait Barack as an angry black man! It’s not his fault that the republicans are so greedy and untrustworthy!

McCain called his wife a c*nt – IN PUBLIC.
In his book The Real McCain, Cliff Schecter writes that at a 1992 campaign stop, with reporters nearby, McCain was joined by his wife Cindy and two campaign aides. “At one point, Cindy playfully twirled McCain’s hair and said, ‘You’re getting a little thin up there.’ McCain’s face reddened, and he responded:
‘At least I don’t plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you C*NT.’

Hysterical! Hysterical! Absolutely laugh out loud funny. Tiny Fey and Amy Poehler are THE best comedy duo in a long long time! They hit on both Hillary and Palin’s personalities just perfect! I LOVED when Hillary ripped a piece of the podium off! LOL!!! And she finally cracks and says “I didn’t want a female as presdient I wanted to be president!” And of course the line of “And I can see Russia from my house,” was hysterical! Hey, if Palin didn’t want to be ridiculed for her featherweigh airhead status why did she put her s elf out there. This ISN”T a beauty contest. You get measured by your BRAINS this time and clearly, ofall the things Hillary was criticized for, not being smart was not one of them. Total fair game and FABULOUS comedy! Go TINA AND AMY!!! Very sharp witted peice. I hope to see more next week! BEST LAUGH i’d had in a while!

McCain/Palin have done nothing but repeatedly lie, deflect and spread the well known republican fear and a sizable number of uninformed, too lazy to research and just plain stupid eat it like it is absolute. I am truly in fear that our country is being eaten up with the dumbass factor — our population just gets more and more stupid as each year passes! Very scary.

Lynne, if Palin’s a “useless twit” whose ran a family, a town and a State….she left those places in debt. ANd she’s been govenor for LESS than two years whle Obama has been a senator of a populous state for 11 years and US senator for 2 and was President of the Harvard Law Review. Experience and education you cannot even compare. While she was mayor of a town small then my highschool, Obama had ALREADY BEEN a state senator for 9 years!!! Included in his state was everything from problems with farms to a HUGE city with all it’s urban challenges. She can see Russia from her house! LOL!! She’s not qualified to even be on the staff of teh Harvard Law Review, no kidding , she does not meet their qualification, yet Obama was PRESIDENT of it WHEN HE WAS IN COLLEGE! He has hadmore knowledge and more experience since he was IN COLLEGE decades ago than she has NOW!

how long before McCain calls Palin a c–t, too?

The press has a RESPONSIBILITY to uncover the truth. Just because McCain has the poor judgement to nominate an unvetted, unexperience candidate for VP does not mean the press has to go along with it. The Republicans set up their “American Idol” ticket – so the frenzy trying to find out if the person a heartbeat away from the presidency is a nutjob is the RESPONSIBILITY of the media. The left-wing media is a myth – but most media people would be able to see through the idea that seeing Russia from an island in Alaska is not the same as knowing Russia or even having read the news that Georgia actually acted first in the problem that Palin so casually wants to attack Russia for.
This campaign is not about Palin – but the Republicans and McCain set this up, knowing fullwell it would take people’s minds off the disasters of the last 8 years and the lack of change that this ticket represents in reality.
Keep focused, make sure everyone you know has their ID to vote, there are paper trails, and that we hold this election honestly and fairly for once!

Sarah Palin is a small town fascist.

I love the phony outrage of Republicans – and it’s even funnier when they try to pretend to be feminists who love Hillary. Bullcrap! How stupid do you think we are?

Tina Fey is one of the smartest, funniest, women anywhere. I thought she was hillarious on SNL last night. Grreat job, Tina – thanks for showing us what a fraud Palin is.

Sen. John McCain’s favorite joke:
A GORILLA WHO RAPES A LADY
===========================
In an appearance before the National League of Cities and Towns in Washington D.C., McCain supposedly asked the crowd if they had heard “the one about the woman who is attacked on the street by a gorilla, beaten senseless, raped repeatedly and left to die?”
The punch line: “When she finally regains consciousness and tries to speak, her doctor leans over to hear her sigh contently and to feebly ask, “Where is that marvelous ape?”

Dear Democrats, the right has few targets on Obama – they are going to focus on his being from Chicago (ooooHHH the mob), having ties with Muslims, and Radicals. They are also saying there is a new assault on the Bible.
So, it is time to show some self discipline here. Keep focused on the issues, know what Obama stands for (read the editorials in the NY Times today – they are very insightful), and open your hearts to everyone. The people on the right – some of them are just terrified by all the news they are getting from their sources. We cannot be afraid. We have to laugh and love and stay extremely focused in turning this ship around so that our country can survive and grow. CHOOSE LIFE/CHOOSE OBAMA

Palin is an incompetent, unqualified dope and Tina Fey nailed her. I can’t stop laughing.

Anagram of
SARAH PALIN = A SHARP NAIL
(in McCain’s coffin?)

Fellow Republicans–
I for one can no longer take the look on my son’s face as these inexcusably vulgar pretenders LIE to him on TV. “Is this our side?” he asked, as another (this time worse-than -disgusting) obvious falsehood was exposed by CNN.
I TRIED, BUT I CANNOT CONDONE LYING LIKE THIS. WHAT AM I TEACHING MY SON… I HAVE NEVER SEEN SUCH MORAL WEAKNESS PRAISED BY MY FRIENDS. Obama gets my vote. No, Sam, Obama is now our side. I was wrong about Obama, I cannot lie to you. Good God, what have we become…

The McCain/Palin surge in the polls comes even as Barack Obama has inherited the most favorable Democratic environment since the Watergate era — an unpopular Republican president, an unpopular war and a flagging economy.
Suddenly, though, Democrats have found themselves in a world turned upside down, where Republicans have the momentum from running on change.
Below are five trends showing up in polling that help explain the change.
1. McCain as a ‘change agent’
Eight in 10 Americans say they believe the country is on the wrong track. While McCain has spent decades in Washington and a member of his party is in the White House, recent polling shows that he has successfully portrayed himself as a change agent and eroded Obama’s brand in the process.
2. The center shifts: Independents move to McCain
Independent voters, and particularly white independent men, have leaned Republican in presidential races since 1980. But before the Republican convention, Gallup polling showed just 40 percent of independents favoring McCain.
Post-convention, that rose to 52 percent — and the increase in support was slightly greater among men than among women, which appears to undercut the idea that Sarah Palin has benefited the ticket by drawing women to it.
Before the Democratic convention, white women favored McCain by 7 points. After it, they favored him by 6. Following the Republican convention, McCain was winning white women by 11 points — a 4-point gain.
Before the Democratic convention, white men favored McCain by 20 points. After it, that margin shrunk to 13 points. Following Denver, white men favored McCain by 25 points — a 5-point gain.
3. The economic gap narrows
James Carville, who coined the catchphrase “the economy, stupid” in 1992 while working as a strategist for Bill Clinton, frets that Obama is losing his ownership of the issue that has become voters’ foremost concern in recent months.
“I noticed the tightening on the economy,” Carville said. “And if it stays that way, I would be damn worried.”
A recent internal Republican poll found that 30 percent of likely voters shop at Wal-Mart at least once a week. Obama retained a slim 45-42 edge with Wal-Mart women—but 64 percent of men in the group favored McCain against just 29 percent who preferred Obama.
4. Palin narrows the enthusiasm gap
The Republican base, once disenchanted, has returned with a vengeance since McCain’s surprise pick of the first-term Alaska governor as his running mate.
The NBC-Wall Street Journal poll found that only 12 percent of McCain’s supporters were “excited to be voting” for him in early August. This week 34 percent said they were excited — nearly a threefold increase.
Palin has played no small part in this GOP awakening. CBS found that fully 85 percent of McCain backers were “pleased” with the selection of Palin, compared to 65 percent of Obama supporters who said the same about his running mate, Delaware Sen. Joe Biden.
And among independents, 46 percent have a favorable view of Palin while only 31 percent say the same of Biden.
While Democrats have continued to hit at Palin’s inexperience, only 36 percent of likely voters believe Palin lacks the proper experience while 47 percent said the same of Obama.
5. Democrats voter ID edge dulls
Democrats have been relying on their newfound advantage in party identification all year. Party ID remains the best single indicator of voter support.
The week before the Republican convention, just 39 percent of voters said they leaned toward or identified themselves as Republicans. Following the convention, that number rose dramatically to 47 percent. Meanwhile the percentage of voters leaning toward or identifying themselves as Democrats dropped from 53 to 47 percent. Gallup notes that party ID shifts are not unusual after a convention.
Gallup also reports that the double-digit Democratic lead among voters who are asked which party they’d generically prefer to control Congress has disappeared and that the two parties are now effectively tied.
The conclusion is quite clear.
If the Democrats continue to attack Sarah Palin while basically ignoring John McCain, they will lose.
Although, the gaffes and missteps that have already occured from the Democrats may have already sealed the victory for Republicans in November.
Anybody But Obama…

joe from mo – when did i ever say gay people are not citizen’s, never. this is how you moron liberal’s start lies which is what you libs are better at than republican’s anyday of the week 24/7/365. and please don’t expect me to get in a uproar about you saying how christian i am. if the one true GOD will not accept a person into heaven because of their unrepentant sin, why should i accept them also. i don’t have a hatred toward’s gay people, but if they don’t turn from their sinful ways, then i will walk away from them also like Jesus did and still does until they decide to walk away from their sin, and then that is when my christian principle’s set in and i accept them as my christian brother or sister. you must be part of the liberal front not to understand that, because if you think Jesus is weak, just imagine what he would be saying to our citizen’s and goverment official’s today. he would not accept gay’s at all, not out of anger or hatred, but out of obedience to his father’s word and would not care what you think or say politically or in any other way. GOD accepts his children through Jesus and only Jesus, and rejects all sin which will have it’s day in hell. that is true christian belief’s by facts whether you liberal’s like it or not. do you really know that the true selfish self-centered spirit of man and woman sinning by the don’t tell me what to do or how to live my life society has already been apart of history, it’s what you call sodom and gomorah! that’s where you liberal’s want to take this nation (mainly just for votes to gain power over everbody so you can punish those who don’t believe the way you do)and what have the christian’s done so bad to you leftist, nothing. we just stand up for are moral’s which are based from the bible’s teaching about family issue’s and to stop the killing of innocent babies. you liberal’s are against everything i just said and that’s why you hate christian’s, republican’s, moral’s, and strong minded men and women. you fear truth in strenght and that’s why your evil spirit’s act the way lucifer’s demon’s do, scared and angry.

it was a nasty, nasty little skit. …it was a hysterical skit that ONLY requoted things that McCAin has used except in this case you can see teh absurdity. McCAin DID say Russia being next door was a qualification. there was SO much more they could have used, she never h ad a passport, her abstinence only, her creationism, her wanting to outlaw abortion EVEN in the case of incest or rape, oh there was PLENTY of material to use and that’s not their fault. It’s just the truth. dont blame SNL because Palin is THAT bad.

A Hillary supporter commenting that Palin has had scrapes with the law?!!?!?!??
That is too funny brutha.

Oh no, don’t fire a police officer who tasered a 10 year old kid, was drunk in his vehicle, and made threats against the life of the Govenor’s family.

Anyone who doesn’t understand that Obama’s policies will increase taxes on small business, payroll, and capital gains and further damage the economy isn’t living in reality.

Folks, you are pretty harsh w/each other with some of these comments. Let’s stop and think and keep personal anger out of the situation.
Tina Fey did a phenominal job of portraying Palin – comedy is a play on reality and this play was hilarious. Palin is the VP Nominee and needs to have a thick skin. Don’t you find it odd that she has yet to meet the press corps w/out a “sitter” aka McCain? If I understand history correctly, she is the only VP Nominee to steer clear of media once the nominee becomes the nominee. You have to ask yourself, honestly, why is that? The only viable answer is that the Republicans in charge are concerned about her responses and reactions to media scrutiny. Given media is often less than impartial and often forgets to focus on the worthy issues, and in the past 8 years, has not ask the pointed questions necessary to create balanced news and information to the public, but Charlie Gibson’s interview w/Palin bears out the Republican’s fears – she is personable, but just is not as informed as she needs to be to run for VP and is not able to think on her feet fast enough to adequately respond to simple questions she should know the answers to as an able candidate. And who can blame her – she was picked out of obscurity to run for the No. 2 office in the country with no where near enough expertise to know what in the world was going to come at her. If she were truly a capable, well-informed, smart, and prepared candidate, she would be free-wheeling it around the country w/out canned commentary to throw at those who are coming to see her. And no, I will not vote for her simply b/c she is a woman – that is ludicrous. I vote based on the issues, the direction the candidate “promises” and the history of that candidate. McCain certainly has a great deal of experience in many areas, but his views on women’s issues are so far off the mark for me, and I am so offended by his, and many Republicans and certainly Palin’s, desire to merge church and state in government that it disgusts me to no end. “I” am entitled to make decisions for my own body. “I” am capable of researching and understanding the issues that affect my life and the life of my family. “I” am not the one to make determinations about another woman’s body or mind. “I” am independent, thoughtful and always willing to learn. “I” do not want Palin’s God, or anyone elses’ God, dictating how I need to live my life. Sarah Palin does not represent ANY of my views as an INDIVIDUAL in this country. McCain does not represent my views. It’s a shame to think that so many people in this country are willing to impose their ideals on me and the rest of the country, as if anyone who disagrees with them are wrong and in need of their all-knowing guidance and perspective. Maybe it’s just too scary for those willing to impose their views on others to think and behave independently – to live their lives in harmony with others – to think on their own while being mindful and considerate of others – to be responsible for themselves and not dictators over others – to be a part of society and not a ruler-of-thought. Peace, harmony, understanding, free-thinking, considerate, supportive, independent – all qualities that are being lost in today’s world. Let’s find it and work together to make a better country.

And the battle between the Left and Right continues, ladies and gentlemen. Stay tune again to your regular news blog for continuous fast pace action as both sides keep punching each other with smear after smear. Be cautious in wearing lipstick in a boxing match.
LOL! XD

Palin is nothing more than a face
Let’s look at her record…..
1) Notes thanks but no thanks for bridge to nowhere, truth flopped on support for bridge after media pressure from congress. She also kept the earmark money for the bridge and spent it on other pet projects in Alaska the truth is she never rebuffed congress (NBC 08/31/08,Anchorage Daily News 08/31/08, CBS 08/31/08, Reuters, CNN, CBS 09/03/08)
2) Not in Iraq as previously stated only at Kuwait-Iraq boarder…Didn’t have clearance to enter Iraq. (Boston Globe 09/13/08, CNN 09/13/08, NBC 09/14/08)
3)Against earmarks is not a true statement the truth is Alaska is the largest state per capita for the use of earmarks (LA Times 09/03/08, Washington Post 09/11/08)
4) Posable abuse of power (Troppergate) Used her position as governor to fire her ex brother in law due to bitter devorce with her sister. (CNN 09/11/08, NBC 09/03/08, Anchorage Daily News 09/05/08)
5) Wasting taxpayers money. Charges perdium for working out of home as governor for 312 nights along with travel for her family for a total of $43,490 for the year(Washington Post 09/08/08, NY Times 09/09/08)
Palin may say the media is out to get her but the truth is she doesn’t tell the truth. She says she is a reformer reformer of what she uses the system better than anyone. Really what is she going to reform women rights for decrease pay for same work, reform the right of choice (become government control over a women’s vagina), or become a symbol for why we should not elect a women. (I,m not against women I think smart, honorable women such as Thatcher and Cambell who rose to top office in their countries (England, Canada) are great reps of women in top office)

Oh, “Sen. John McCain”, I find it hard to believe the real Senator came up with that limerick, but you say “All the quotes are posted here under my name, “Sen. John McCain”, and they are all authentic!” Heh, maybe you mean they are authentic to the actual poster – but that gets me to thinking, what candidates say most of the time is written by a speech writer anyway!

Sam,
What is sexist is the media (and others) ask whether Palin can be VP and still take care of a family, not the questions about her qualifications.
I’m sure you can understand the difference.

I agree sam

Mary reports:
there is a history of trying to prevent African-Americans from voting especially in the South. …there is news that in Ohio the Republican Party is trying to keep people who have lost their homes to foreclosure from being able to register to vote. African-Americans are more likely to be lower income so this would impact them more.
_____Mary, call me informed. Did Ohio join the Confederacy recently?

Wow, who needs terrorists when we have this awesome infighting here? SNL did an amazing parody, and not just of Palin by the way, of the situation. The real story here is of Tina Fey and the rest of the cast being able to really hit the political scene dead on. They aren’t very kind to obama or clinton you kids.

By Ken Dilanian and Matt Kelley, USA TODAY
WASILLA, Alaska — In 2000, Alaska lawmakers learned that rural police agencies had been billing rape victims or their insurance companies $500 to $1,200 for the costs of the forensic medical examinations used to gather evidence. They quickly passed a law prohibiting the practice.
According to the sponsor, Democrat Eric Croft, the law was aimed in part at Wasilla, where now-Gov. Sarah Palin was mayor. When it was signed, Wasilla’s police chief expressed displeasure.
WASILLA LIBRARY: Palin did not ban books as mayor
“In the past, we’ve charged the cost of exams to the victims’ insurance company when possible,” then-chief Charlie Fannon told the Mat-Su Valley Frontiersman, the local newspaper. “I just don’t want to see any more burden put on the taxpayer.”
Now that Palin is the Republican nominee for vice president, Democrats such as former Alaska governor Tony Knowles — who signed the rape-kit bill into law and was defeated by Palin in 2006 — are raising the issue to question Palin’s commitment to women’s issues and crime victims. Palin appointed Fannon after firing his predecessor shortly after she took office in 1996.

Tina, Amy – what happened? No longer funny, Tina Fey as Sarah Palin was very offensive. Although I expected Tina to be great in role of impersonating Palin, it was a disappointment to see the low levels SNL would stoop in this sexist portrayal. Tina and SNL missed the boat, and Amy wasn’t far behind. Saturday SNL made both Hillary and Palin look like bimbos, which they are not! It’s unfortunate that an Olympic hero like Michael Phelps was the host of this SNL show and I feel bad for him and his mother who attended, because I usually enjoy watching the show and the re-runs and will not watch a re-run of this one. If this type of condescending sexist approach continues, I will no longer watch SNL, period.

The Limerick is not actually mine, it just references some of the things I’ve said in the past,
but all of the other quotes are 100% original JOHN McCain.:-)
They were NOT written by a speech writer, they were remarks or jokes I made “off-the-cuff”, but which were either said in public (and recorded on video), or have been confirmed by multiple eyewitnesses and reporters at the time I made them.
I’ve tried to indicate some of the media outlets where the stories were first reported (AP, the National Review, Reuters, etc).
The quotes are iron-clad – AND I HAVE NEVER DISPUTED THIS WHEN ASKED POINT BLANK WHY I MADE SUCH VICIOUS, MISOGYNIST COMMENTS.
========================================
I, John McCain, approved this message.

The liberals are sickening. Why don’t you talk about your candidate instead of continually bashing others. There’s a reason you’re going to lose scumbags.

Sen. John McCain’s favorite joke:
A GORILLA WHO RAPES A LADY
===========================
In an appearance before the National League of Cities and Towns in Washington D.C., McCain asked the crowd if they had heard:
“the one about the woman who is attacked on the street by a gorilla, beaten senseless, raped repeatedly and left to die?”
The punch line:
“When she finally regains consciousness and tries to speak, her doctor leans over to hear her sigh contently and to feebly ask, “Where is that marvelous ape?”
======================================
I’m John McCain and I approved this message.

The Real McCain
=====================================
Sen. John McCain called his wife a C*NT – IN PUBLIC.
In his book The Real McCain, Cliff Schecter writes that at a 1992 campaign stop, with reporters nearby, McCain was joined by his wife Cindy and two campaign aides. “At one point, Cindy playfully twirled McCain’s hair and said, ‘You’re getting a little thin up there.’ McCain’s face reddened, and he responded:
“At least I don’t plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you C*NT.”
========================================
I’m John McCain and I approved this message

Obama supporters certainly have a lot of time to post. I would have thought they’d be busy trying to learn a foreign language.
BTW I thought Tine Fey was funny.

BIG PROTEST AGAINST PALIN BY ALASKAN WOMEN!
Alaska TV news says “biggest protest ever in Alaska!”
See the pictures and the homemade signs of the people of Alaska, that won’t be fooled by this Palin FARCE!!!
Alaskan women are afraid of Palin, why aren’t you??
http://s521.photobucket.com/albums/w335/frsbdg/Alaska%20Women%20Reject%20Palin/?action=view&current=Bristol.jpg

Aladon – great job!
You’re right.

The press needs to give a fair and balanced view of Sarah Palin and her family. Here are pics, videos of her unmatchable sacrifices for the betterment of Alaska:
http://www.grizzlybay.org/SarahPalinInfoPage.htm

The SNL skit was funny, and it was meant to be, as all SNL skits are. The twist here is that the liberal mainstream media is simply a bunch of untrained journalists looking for blood…anybody’s blood, and ABC now tops the list of those vultures. There are many news reporting outlets out there who do what journalists are supposed to do, they research and find out the facts, aka “the truth”, and report what they find regardless of whom it favors. ABC does not know how to do that, and the weinie liberals who comment here don’t know where to find the truth either, if they do they obviously aren’t reading it. Liberalism is a Mental Disorder!

Tina Fey should get an Emmy for her portrayal as Sarah Palin. She was perfect! From the moment I watched Sarah’s acceptance speech, I immediately thought she looked like Tina Fey. Amy, as always, is great as Hillary, but Amy doesn’t really look or sound like Hillary. That’s why Tina’s portrayal is so darned good!

Democrat’s are going to lose bbababababababababababahahahahababababba!!!

Oh my! The pictures of all the Alaskan women protesting Palin is really gripping. There’s pages of them! And their posters/signs really bash Palin! I think the funniest one I saw was McCain/Palin=Incontinence/Incompetence! Too funny!

READ WHAT ALASKAN WOMEN THINK ABOUT PALIN!!
“Sarah Palin frightens the hell out of me. I don’t want her anywhere near the White House,” said Marybeth Holleman of Anchorage.
Protesters in Alaska had a wide range of beefs with the governor. They included backers of Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama, abortion rights proponents, advocates for wolves and polar bears, opponents of the Iraq war, and people who said Palin is not ready to be a heartbeat from the presidency.
Alison Till, a geologist in Anchorage with the U.S. Geological Survey, said issues such as energy and global warming require solid and unbiased science to make good decisions. Palin’s opposition to listing the polar bear as threatened under the endangered species act and her support of teaching creationism in public schools are not the hallmarks of someone who relies upon solid science, Till argued.
“She is unqualified,” Till said.

=======================================
Wow Beth, you’re right, Obama supporters should be really afraid of that “one point” lead!!
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!!!!!
(CNN) — Saturday’s CNN national Poll of Polls — which includes the new Newsweek survey — shows McCain leading Obama by one point (46 to 45 percent). Friday’s Poll of Polls showed McCain leading Obama by two points (46 to 44 percent).
As McCain’s and Palin’s LIES PILE UP, we’ll see what happens in the next two weeks….

If women in Alaska rebel against Palin in large numbers, the McCain/Palin ticket loses a lot of credibility! The Republican ticket may be imploding before our very eyes with the protests underway in Alaska!

Enough already with the “pig” thing. That is a figure of speech that goes as far back as the “If it walks like a duck…” one. Heck, it’s probably almost as old as John McCain…he’d remember it if he could.

Even though the Obamatrons keep linking McCain to Bush, Barry O still can’t get much of a lead in the polls.
Kinda makes you wonder why he seems to be fading down the stretch.
Maybe because his main rise to power was a strong anti-war message when the war was very unpopular.

The Bush doctrine is anything that the left says it is.So how is Palin suppose to know whats on the mind of people who flip flop all the time?

ABC is governed by ‘Oprah’ and the money she brings in for them – - who does Oprah support? And why does she support him?
Can you say “color”?!!

If Palin gets in the White House, she will be the first female president, not Clinton.

Re: sexist comments on whether she can handle VP while raising kids. Media is simply asking a question that if Sarah comes out of her cuccoon can answer once and for all that of course is that she can. However the fact that there is a wall between her and the media only begs the question, who is exactly answering for her. Only she can. She has a great system where her husband is the stay at home dad. No problem there. But she needs to answer that question directly. Once that is done then that issue is dead.
its just that simple.

yes..
Tina Fey rocked the house! SNL is definitely back.

Hey at least Obama didn’t insist on spending five years drinking tea and eating cake with our nations enemy DURING WHICH he gleefully made 32 pro-Vietcong/Communist propaganda movies AND THEN come home and make every one of them Classified Top Secret.
In any other circle but the Republican one that is called treason.

Obama, the only leader that has the respect by peoples of the world to give chance for peace and respect to America.
America, please vote on policies and what candidates will do for you and the world, not gender,race and religion.

ok joe obama is ni gg er!!

Tina Fey’s impersonation of Sarah Palin was incredible! She not only nailed the look, she nailed the mannerisms and accent. Congratulations, Tina! Awesome job.

That skit was hillarious – spot on! The hair, the glasses, the accent… I don’t know who allowed Michael Phelps to host though. Not one thing about him is funny. He just looked awkward and scared.
I think the problem here is that all of the Republicans are so dedicated to a unified cause that they have forgotten than Palin is not the best person for the job – by far. It’s as if John McCain said the Earth is flat and half of America agreed just to be on his side. As quick as Palin was to go to war with Russia in her interview with Charles Gibson, I worry for America when McCain drops dead a month into his term. I’ve got news for all of you, the Earth is not flat and Palin is not VP material.

PS I also enjoyed Tina Fey’s impersonation very much, and sent the link to many friends. Brava! If we cannot laugh at politics, then something is wrong.

To posters on both sides: do you really think that anyone is going to listen a rant? Do you think that people who read this will listen to the biased supporter of one candidate try to characterize the opponent candidate?
Why not try writing something concrete about what inspires you about your candidate? Why did you pick that person? What special skills or special insight do they bring? Without mentioning anyone in the opposing party or their policies, write about your candidate’s policies and background, and why those are good for America. You will have a far greater chance of influencing someone if you let your passion shine through in a positive way. You will gain even more credibility if you mention things you like in the opposing candidate. Neither of these people are bad. They are by definition the best our country has to offer for this important job.

Not sure how we can be sure that Obama knows how to “navigate and comprehend the complex waters of the modern world”.
Care to provide any examples?

John McCain used the “lipstick on a pig” line first..for HILLARY!….do some research!

Please people! Don’t let the Republicans FOOL YOU AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vincent says “he can use a computer like a normal person”….. Really, what type of computer-literate person writes their 5,000 word speech out “long-hand” in a hotel room, rather than to use a laptop? There is no way that the DNC candidate is computer literate, and he never said he was, because if he did – it would be a lie. This is another misleading ad by the DNC! That’s why I’m voting for someone who is more moderate and can get the job done. McCain 2008.

This story is about two women who thought that people in Alaska who are not happy with Palin should have a voice since McCain’s campaign is claiming she has 80% support.
They were amazed that 1483 people showed up with signs, my favorite – McCain+Palin = MCPAIN.
A right wing shock jock called the two women ‘maggots and baby killers’ then read off their phone numbers. Some other attempts were made to quash the protest.
Very telling.
Obama/Biden for a White House that will work for everyone not just the corporate elite and the wealthy.
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/9/14/103042/902/965/597033

Citizen Voter: I saw that same article and it is very interesting to see other Alaskan’s opinions.
As for the rest of the world’s opinion; it is important. People aren’t basing their votes off the rest of the world so to claim that is just ridiculous. The view of the world is important when it comes to foreign policies and what they see differs from what we see. If you want to become more successful as a country then you need a leader that the rest of the world wants to work with.

SNL has really gone to its lowest point. They should have canceled that show when Dan Akroyd left… Belushi in a bee suit, that was funny.

One thing is for certain: Sarah is one great MILF. Maybe that radio station in Anchorage who gave out the women-against-palin protest organizers’ phone numbers would give out Sarah’s number, too? Please???

I’m surprised there are any reporters or commentators around to write these stories. I had the impression they are all in Alaska trying to find relatives and political opponents with hurt feelings. What a farce. She has an approval rating of 80%. But send enough media and sure enough, you can find someone who doesn’t like her.
Meanwhile ABC covers SNL.
And nobody, nobody in this disgraceful in the tank Big Media is even interested in Obama teaming up with a boasting terrorist in Chicago passing out 50 million dollars in slush fund moneys. The big loser this year will be the media.

Gov. Palin with a 86% favorable rating, is a proven great leader. Obama, with a 42% in the poll, is a failure. Americans know a fake when they hear him.

The SNL cold-open was brilliant! Spot on! The skit was a classic! Give us more, Tina and Amy!

So when is Palin going on Meet the Press and Face the Nation?

LEAVE SARAH PALIN ALOOOOOONE!!!!!!!!
(SOB, SNIFF)

Lets drop McCain for Palin…. Palin can win if she is at the top of the ticket!!!!

God forbid..What if Mc cain drop dead as president.Are we saying that ‘Hocky Mom’ from Alaska will be the one to relate with world leaders like Putin,Nicolas Sarkozy ,Hu jintao etc..No ,no this woman hasnt got the brain or experience to do such job.

Best line so far is from Joe Biden : ” Chuck, stand up Chuck. Let them see ya” . Well, Joe is a good guy and he’s very quick to learn that OB’s trick does not work. I guess YES,WE CAN in this case is nithing but a fraud. Thank you, Joe. I still laugh my ass of whenever I think about it.

SNL hit Palin right on. I can just see it now…
Putin: So you’re the new VP…Mrs Palin.
Palin: Yes Mr. Putin, In America looks get you farther in Politics then brains, just look at Hilary’s experiance, did it help her.
Putin: Yes, All us world leaders know this is the way America runs…
Palin: But I can see your country from my house Mr. Putin. And a lot of people believe that counts for foriegn experiance.
Putin: Mrs. Palin, do you plan to visit Georgia in the near future?
Palin: Why Yes Mr Putin, We just booked tickets to Atlanta last week. Thanks for asking. Have you ever been to the Coca Cola museum?
Putin: Mrs. Palin, would you like to go on a hunting expedition with us next week and talk politics.
Palin: Sorry Mr. Putin, I have to stay home with the kids. My husband owns his own business and there’s no one to watch all my kids… Remember Mr. Putin, I was just brought onboard at help Mr. McCain…

Obama never said all women were pigs with lipstick on. Get a grip on reality. What he was saying is you can dress up bad policy as much as you want, and its still bad policy.
As a woman, I’m shocked any woman would EVER vote for a McCain/Palin ticket.
Palin has exploited her family, but said they are off limits in the press. She’s ‘so proud’ of the decision her daughter made to keep her child, but doesn’t want to trust any other families with that same choice. You don’t get to have it both ways.
And since when did the GOP care a lick about pregnant teen mothers? When they were preaching absitence only education? Maybe if they would have handed out condoms in Bristol Palin’s high school she would have used one instead of hoping God would miraculously keep her from getting pregnant.
So the logic here is if millions of teens across the country get pregnant every year, they are trashy hussys.
But when its daughter of a vice presidential nominee, its a ‘blessed’ and ‘beautiful’ event?
Get real. Spare me the hypocrisy.
Oh, and by the way. Let’s not forget, Sarah Palin isn’t running for president. John McCain is.

“Obama is calling all females PIGS with LIPSTICK” Even the CRAZIEST Republicans are not trying to make that one fly any more. Hey, you can put lipstick on a guppy, but it still can’t ace a Charlie Gibson interview.

I think this Sarah Palin is just a bitch in sheep’s clothing. I aint no stinking Democrat or Republican – just plain folk who vote. I am voting for that cute chick Obama Girl as a write in. She has like really got it going on.
I think Palin was one of those Mary Kay sales people who jam the Granny’s with soaps and creams and such.
I THINK PALIN IS A STRANGE DUDE.

Sarah Rocks and the Libs are very scared of her! Women unite! Don’t let the Dems. BS you again and make you think they are the party for women! The Libs threw Hillary under the bus and off the planet!

I don’t like to even add comments to this type of thing with all of the silly name calling, etc. that is going on, but there are some things here that to which a response is merited. The silliness about whether Obama was referring to Palin as a pig….has anyone EVER heard this man speak with that can of disrespect to anyone? It is not his style, if nothing else. On the other hand, I , who will say or type almost anything to speak truth to the power, hesitate to even type the disgusting, vulgar names McCain has used in describing his own wife when angry at her. Vile……
Secondly, the person who indicated that he needed to know everyone who sent Obama money because he was sure in was all foreign Muslims! Well I am one of them who sent money…$10 to be specific…which I spared by drinking water instead of Diet Coke for a week. I am a white, 60 yr. old male, Viet Nam era draftee Veteran. I make my living as an artist and trust me, artist have known for a couple of years that we are in a recession! Your assumption is wrong….it is folks like me. No turban…no foreign addresses…just American’s who know that we can not afford another 4 yrs. of Bush style politics.

Governor Palin has eight years of executive experience, OBAMA HAS NONE. Palin has supervised people and departments, submitted budgets, created policies and governed people. OBAMA HAS NOT. What foreign policy experience does Obama have other than his premature “victory” tour in Europe this summer (when he refused to meet with injured troops because he couldn’t bring his campain staff)? Palin is far more qualified to be NUMBER 2 than Obama is to be the NUMBER 1 leader of the free world.

Oh my goodness. I cannot believe some of these responses. You folks are acting like Mrs. Palin should not be criticed because she does not know anything, has no idea what is going on, and says things that reflect that. No one in the Press is loving on Obama. Everyone is just scared %@*!less about the possibility of the two least intelligent canidates for the oval office ever being elected.

You all are acting like children, and contributing to the “muckracking” and “mudslining” each campaign is doing. Why don’t you disregard the negative campaigning and make a decision for yourselves.

Governor Palin has eight years of executive experience, OBAMA HAS NONE…..DO NOT talk about “executive experience” when talking about being mayor of a tiny town that has less people than my high school. If that were the case ,then my high school principal should be experienced enough to be president especially when you consider he earned his Bachelor’s in eduation AND his MASTERS in education in the SAME amount of time Palin STRUGGLED to get one degree in…JOURNALISM!! LOL!!!! YOu cannot lead a country if you do not udnerstand it’s LAWS and she has NO education in LAW! She has hardly any eduation at all while Obama was PRESIDENT OF THE HARVARD LAW REVIEW! She i s not qualified NOW For a job Obama had 25 years ago in COLLEGE!

My two highlights of that skit: Amy cackling when Tina said “all you have to do is want it” and when Tina said “I can see Russia from my house.” Hey, fair game! Republicans actually DID try to pass that off as ‘foreign policy experience’. What happens next week, do we see Palin in some tiny little gym with her entire “town” that she is “leading’ with all her ‘executive experience”. I would LOVE to have a skit where people arecoming to her asking her about trade laws, federal laws, state laws, finance laws and her just shaking her head asking “now, what was the name of that law???? and what does that mean??? “

An audience member asks, “How do we beat the bitch?”….McCain answers, ” Excellent question”………at a HIllary rally republican men were shouting “make me a sandwich” and “Iron my shirts”…I dont’ remember ANYONE in the media or in t he republican party have a problem with this. Ladies unite, indeed! Republicans get a clue! You have underestimated the intelligence of women and how much we do NOT like having bimbo beauty pagent contestants throw in our face because men like to look her and men don’t notice she is completely empty headed. Women notice. WOmen notice that men don’t. And we are half the population! that’s gonna hurt, I promise you! Obama 08!

Jess — If you think Obama isn’t polarizing, just wait until the election. When he loses — because many Hillary supporters like me will not vote for him — you’ll learn what polarizing really is. And your comment that Obama’s meager resume, e.g. being president of the Harvard Law Review merits the writing of two memoirs, let alone qualifies him to be president, is absurd…

John and Cindy McCain looked very patriotic visiting ground zero, hand in hand. Barack Hussein Obama looked like a guy who couldn’t get a date to the prom. Where was Michelle Obama? Does she really hate America so much that she celebrates the terrorist attacks of 9/11 at home in a turban?
Barack Hussein Obama and his anti-American wife spent 20 years listening to spews of hatred and “God Damn America” in a so-called church of God. Apparently Michelle believes America caused 9/11. All these radical teachings have been instilled in their brains by Jeremiah Wright.
For over two decades Obama turned to, was counseled by, and formed a strong personal bond with a minister who is a divider and a hatemonger. This simply cannot effectively act as a unifying force for the USA.
The best result out of Obama’s campaign may turn out to be progress in the form of all American cultures accepting that each individual, regardless of race, is to be rightfully held accountable for their actions, affiliations, as well as the doctrines that they adhere to and cultivate in others.
The embarrassing litany of anarchy, filth and hate that Rev. Wright spews should not be excused away as simply “the way our people speak”. Wrong is wrong and is not to be determined on a sliding scale according to skin color.
Obama has told too many lies. He has too many ties to anti-Americans and terrorists.
Have you thought about what might happen if Obama really is a closet Muslim and becomes president?
Vote for John McCain in November. Country first!

Now you ALL know the SNL skit was FUNNY!!!
Tina Fey had Palin down packed. It was Hilarious.

Sarah Palin is a lying hypocrite, she supported her own daughter’s “right to choose”. But she will not do the same for your daughter. And then there is this:
“I have known Sarah since 1992…” (Updated, 9/9)
http://community.adn.com/adn/node/130537

Hey now, voters: Grow up. Open your EYES. Have a sense of humor but observe sensible and sensitive limits. Learn to read (and write). Please be kinder. We all have a right to our thoughts and opinions and should not attempt to take those away from anyone else. So here’s my bit. Agree or disagree, but I still get to have my say:
*WHEN* THE PALIN BUBBLE BURSTS and McCain slides back into ratings-limbo again, THEN the Obama/Biden-led TEAM can go to work on repairing the damage caused by the current administration over the last 8 years. Don’t forget that Hillary Clinton and her husband Bill are on that Team… Qualifications? Bill Clinton WAS undeniably a better President than Bush has been. That fact will go down in History. Hillary was campaigning for Obama today in Ohio, take a look: http://voices.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2008/09/14/clinton_campaigns_for_obama.html
Even if you don’t like the Democratic nominees, you CAN’T MISS the fact that the Republicans have really made a mess of things. More of the same? NO, thank you.
Anyone got a safety pin for that Palin bubble?

I’m glad guns are still legal in the US, because this ridiculous campaign and the stupid uncritical tactics of a man I used to support, and his mindless current supporters, make me wanna glock myself in the head. Have fun with your stupid effed up country people.

I personally think Tina Fey would be a better choice than Sarah Palin. I am really disturbed by the fact that women are considering voting for her. She is living in the dark ages. Her rhetoric is scary and I worry for the future of the rest of us if God help us she gets elected.

Palin-Fey-McCain still would be a better ticket than Obama-Biden- just curious though, why there seems to be a hesitancy on this show to aim barbs at team Obama, but a abundance aimed at the Republicans? To me, this show did seem willing to take on political humor in a more balanced way at its beginnings in the 70′s.

obama is just the liberal’s puppet who they think can get elected from mainly the young voters. what the libs forgot about is the majority of young voters are not stupid and don’t like being told what to think and do. the liberal’s have seriously highjacked the democratic party. you dems need to take it back without hesitation. be smart, not a leftwing liberal nutcase, McCain/Palin 2008

wade – why do you desperatley defend obama. he won’t be elected and will go down in history as the most ignorant candidate in history for the democratic ticket. what’s he going to do if he sat down with putin, cross his legs and open up a law book from columbia universtiy and show putin the american laws to him. he is weaker than you think because he can’t even vote yes or no. what do you think he’s going to do when the leader’s of iran or russia walk in the room for a discussion, oh, i know, PRESENT!

To Mr. “DOOD”
McCain is quite the Maverick, isn’t he.
Those non-partisan bills he co-sponsored, like
McCain-Feingold, McCain-Kennedy, McCain-Lieberman?
McCain voted against ALL three of HIS OWN bills.
Now that takes a Maverick – or an idiot.

wallyworld – your comment’s are exactly why she lashed out at the media you moron. your liberal buddy obama said family should not be brought into the campaign, but you liberal idiot’s can’t even listen to your own candidate. you leftwing nut liberal’s are angry, disrespectful, foulmouthed moron’s. it’s more like your parent’s dropped you on your head while hitting their bong so your mom can have her way with you later and your dad goes to his mom’s house for a piece of her pie! that whole comment is what you leftist say and act like to the other side and you call the other side foulmouthed, when i’m sure you won’t like this statement and it will set you off in a angry talespill of more ignorant comment’s. go watch your porn and leave the important decision’s up to the one’s with commensense!

The world didn’t end when the VP couldn’t spell potato. Why not have a cutie in the position?

ebony – please explain why obama would not give you nightmare’s. i still would like to know how he is more qualified for president than she is for v.p.

As Governer and Commander in Chief, of Alaska, Sarah sent her National Guard to help Louisiana with Gustav. What did the Obama with his 18 months of campaign experience send? … bumper stickers? Obama talks, Palin acts.
Barack Obama contends that he is more experienced in executive matters than Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin because he has managed his presidential campaign for the past 18 months.
He also choose the bridge to nowhere over what Palin suggested uing the funds for Hurricane Katrina victims! What does Obama have against hurricane victims???????

Dear Timmaaa7,
We know exactly what McCain will do when he walks into a room with Putin.
Start a war!
I prefer that over what Obama would have us do Bend over and take it like a man wussy!!!

Obama is calling all females PIGS with LIPSTICK
get your head out of your rear.

erika – lol, amen my commonsense friend.

timmmaaa7 What you don’t know about politics and government could fill a library. I wonder if you, or anyone who badmouths Liberals, has any idea:
1. What Liberalism is.
2. How Liberalism has shaped your life and the society you live in.
3. What conservative economic policy is.
So explain it to us, and show you’re not just the typical conservative, who is conservative because he doesn’t know any better.

Regardless of your political affiliation, you have to admit that Fey’s turn as Gov. Palin was spot-on and hilarious! I’m voting for Fey/Poehler in November!!

I AM NOT VOTING FOR MCCAIN. I RESPECT HIM. BUT I AM NOT VOTING FOR HIM. WHY ARE THERE SO MANY OBAMA BASHERS SAYING THE NASTIEST THINGS I HAVE EVER HEARD ABOUT A MAN. “DID YOU KNOW OBAMA’S A BABY KILLER?” WTF? I AM PRO CHOICE, AND ANTI ABORTION. I DON’T THINK ANYONE SHOULD HAVE AN ABORTION, BUT THAT’S MY OPINION. I ALSO THINK THAT EVERY AMERICAN SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO GET AN ABORTION LEGALLY IF THEY FEEL IT’S THE RIGHT CHOICE. THAT MAKES ME PRO CHOICE. NOT A BABY KILLER, AND CERTAINLY NOT PRO ABORTION. STOP SLANDERING THE SIDE YOU DON’T AGREE WITH. WE HAVE REACHED A POINT HERE, WHERE WE NEED TO START RESPECTING OUR CANDIDATES. YOU WON’T HEAR ME CALL CANDIDATES BY SLURS OR WITH INSULTS. I DON’T THINK MCCAIN IS RIGHT FOR THIS COUNTRY IN THIS RECESSION THAT WE ARE IN. I DON’T THINK PALIN HAS ENOUGH FORIGN POLICY EXPERIANCE TO BE A VP YET.
I HAVE DECIDED TO VOTE FOR OBAMA. I HOPE THAT YOU CAN RESPECT THAT.

For those of you whining that Charles Gibson gave Sarah Palin a difficult time; what about Bill O’Reilly’s interview with Obama. Check it out and see who handled the tough questions in a better way!

Obama is calling all females PIGS with LIPSTICK…..LOL!!! Michelle would beat the crap out of him. You can tell how much a man respects women by the women he chooses to marry. The type of women he is attracted to. McCAin is attracted/married to a bleach blond rich girl who inhereted her wealth, a bimbo who doesn’t mind shacking up with a married guy, a gal who was a former beautycontestant who paraded around in a bikini so men could rate her body from 1 to 10. Obama on the other hand, married a beautiful ivy league college graduate who is smart as a whip and has done outstandingly well in everything she has put her mind to. A classy women with a fabulous figure who would NEVER parade around on a stage mostly naked like some desperate floozy for men to rate her body. McCain has called his wife a trollop and a c nt in public. Obama only praises his wife and his girls. If you want ot pick the ‘family man’ here, the one who respects strong smart women, it’s he one who married one, and onlyk one, it’s Obama.

“he hasnt accomplished one thing” ….Careful…your IGNORANCE is showing. Try READING about someone before you make a FOOL of yourself…. Obama the first black President of the Harvard Law
Review, created a voter registration drive that registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law
professor, then spend nearly 8 more years as a State Senator
representing a district with over 750,000 people, becoming chairman of
the state Senate’s Health and Human Services committee, then spend
nearly 4 years in the United States Senate representing a state of
nearly 13 MILLION people, sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the
Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran’s Affairs. THAT is what Obama has accomplished. Palin isn’t even qualified to do the FIRST job on this list that Obama did IN COLLEGE!

luna – you demand more from your candidate’s eh! let me guess, PRESENT!!!
man, that’s actually asking alot from your candidate to vote yes or no, lol. why don’t you stop your humming and zip up your candidate’s zipper(along with billy boy’s)and rinse your mouth out with some listerine. oh, by the way, fix your lipstick before you go out in public and make sure you don’t leave a smuge or stain on his pants, i don’t think this country needs another scandal like that again.

It was okay for McCain to refer to “pigs with lipstick” during his run against Hillary, but when Obama uses the phrase completely out of context with Palin, it is used against him by McCain’s cronies.

I am an engineer and I agree that president of every company I have worked for, high tech companies, the presidnet ALWAYS has his undergrad degree in engineer and some sort of higher degree in management. You HAVE to understand WHAT you are trying manage in order to make good decisions. Ican’t see Palin OR McCain, obviusly mostly Palin, evenbeing able to understand there is something in our trade laws that could use improvement. I don’t see them being able to understand who to change tax laws to change behavior of companies whetherhtey shipout jobs or not. Romney talked about this. Romeny has DONE this successfully, andROmney has stated Point blank he is NOT taking ANY PART in a mCCain administration. The republicans kicked out all the smart people. While i would not like being called dumb or ignorant either, i think republcians need to take some responsibility for the criticism that gets heaped on them. They do not value knowledge enough. THey are on here saying a law professor and president ofthe Harvard law Review has done ‘nothing’??? Somethign that takes six years of FULL TIME hard work to get down is ‘nothing’ to them. That is truly an ignorant statement.

Reportedly Plain enjoyed the skit, partly because last Halloween she dressed as Tina Fey. Palin is governor of the largest state in our union, with an 80% approval rating. Over the last 1.5 years, her approval rating has ranged from 89% to 80% (easily verifiable in the Achorage Daily News site). You do not accomplish that without being pretty spectacular. Democrats seize on individual earmarks her state has gotten, but there is no debating that the number and overall amount of earmarks has reduced 50% for the state of Alaska in the last year. People, the proof is in the pudding. You do not have a consistent approval rating in the 80th percentiles without doing something very right. This is a talented indivual, and lack of familiarity with her is no reason to attack her. The fact that she has enacted significant change and reform in Alaska is not debatable. There are a number here who would have attacked ANY person who was McCain’s VP choice, no matter who they were, and tried to blow up minor issues as if they were major. It seems that Palin is even more of a lightning rod for partisan criticism because 1) it underscores Obama’s mistake in not choosing Clinton, 2) Barack has lost some of his “celebrity factor”, and 3) Her choice now has Obama behind in the polls. A nonbiased look at Sarah Palin’s governing style by USA Today can be found here:
http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/election2008/2008-09-11-palin-cover_N.htm
McCain has a long history of bipartisanship and working with democrats to solve problems. He was short-listed to be John Kerry’s democratic VP in 2004. He is leading his party into an era of reform and small government that keps within its fiscal means, and in front of 40 million viewers he accused his party of losing its way and betraying the public trust. McCain has pledged to have multiple democrats in his cabinet. McCain has an inspiring personal story and an optimistic message that with reform, reduced waste, increased transparency, and increased respect for the “rival” party, this country can move forward to a brighter future.

Some of you have stated what is essential and really obvious: the right wing of the Republican party has destroyed the better half of America, our economy is tanked and our credibility in the world is very close to zero. Why would ANYONE who really loves America vote for more of this?
The rest is largely troll-work and trashing candidates based on lies and innuendo. I am surprised I didn’t come across the right-wing trolls writing Barack HUSSEIN Obama, yet another cheap innuendo. As for a comment related to this article, it IS stupid and ridiculous to claim foreign policy credentials based on living in a state where some island looks onto Siberian territory. I bet she’s never even been to that island, what do you want to bet? And it wouldn’t matter if she had been to that island on a helicopter with her moose rifle, it has nothing to do with anything anyway.

How odd. Sarah Palin has been the vice presidential candidate for how long and she hasn’t had any interviews except for Charlie Gibson, who ate her for lunch. Any other vice presidential candiate would be totally accessible to the media. Except for Palin. What is the McCain camp afraid of…?

“that’s what we need right there, someone with gut’s to keep us safe while both side’s come together to fix the econom”….JFK kept us safe by NOT flying off the handle and waging war during the cuban missle crises, whichby the way, he stayed up for three days straight. I LIKE to hear Obama talk about diplomacy FIRST and you exhaust diplomacy, unless you are working with a Stalin type person, which Truman did NOT understand at Postdamn which lead us to so much land being lost to Russia after WWII and laid the foundation for the cold war. Truman was over his head and it cost us. Churchill was disgusted with Truman. FDR, JFK, and Teddy had their education in law and foreign wars and world history to fall back on in thier ability to deal with world leaders. When you understand where someone is coming from you can manipulate them into doingwhat you want to ALOT better than if you walk in and just threaten them. Iran f or instance, has NO interest in taking over the world. Bush put a target on them when he included them in the axis of evil and then attack ,preemptively without cause, one of those axes. Iran knows very well if the Iraq war went better we would have attacked them next, so if you are president of Iran, how do you prevent that??? Easy. You get a nuclear bomb. That is your only hope of stopping the US from invading you without cause. Bush CAUSED the problems wiht Iran by being so STUPID as to threaten someone and put a bullseye on them and leave them to scramble as to how to defend themselves. NOW we are talking to Iran, asObama said long ago we shoudl, back when Hillary said it was ‘niave” to. Apparently Obama was right. Obama has alot of KNOWLEDGE he falls back on to make his decisions. He WILL do a FAR better job than any of the candidates to keep us safe VERY MUCH as JFK did, with a JFK style and no, it is NOT coincidence, that Obama has the same education taht JFK did except obama actualy did BETTER. We have EVERY reason to expect great thing from him.

I love SNL, but the guest, Michael Phelps was pretty unfunny, and Lil Wayne just s*cked big time…I never really heard his new stuff before…wow it s*cks…a bunch of weak lines and the irritating vocoder…

sick of the stupidity – law professor, they don’t reform anything, they teach law. president of harvard law review, they don’t reform anything, they review court cases within councel meeting’s. if you want to reform law’s, become a lawmaker. oh, i forgot, he’s been a senator, but wait, don’t you have to vote yes or no to vote legislation into law, don’t you have to have veto power to finalize legislature, so were is his executive experience and reform records, or is he hiding them both for safety. i might be mistaken, but i don’t think voting PRESENT creates law or stops bad laws from being created, but you can still sign on for earmarks by being present. so tell me still, you wanna question McCain’s reform experiecne and Gov. Palin’s executive experience, where’s professor obama’s.

I thought this was hilarious! Kuddos to Tina Fey for her brilliant performance!!!

Bush Doctrine can mean any number of things, however in a classical neo-conservative view, it refers to a preemptive war. So basically if you are a hard core conservative (lemming…) and you don’t like someone or something, you attack it and blame it on the fact that it could have possibly been a threat to you in some way. (Real or imagined..)
As for teaching sex ed to kindergartners, wow did the McBush legion of followers do a butchering of that one. The bill in question was designed to help kids be aware of and steer clear of sex predators. I suppose Palin is against teaching kids to be safe …
Here is a bit of advice people. Use the internet to gain some knowledge before you go typing up stuff you know nothing about….

There are so many people on here who have just disguested me with their juvinile behavior. Name calling and Blablablablablas are you kidding me, are we in high school. Hi umm omg did you hear what so and so said grow up people. If your going to be voting in this election then i need to move to another country because this is pathetic. And the audacity of one person to use the N word. I honestly cannot believe that this is the picture of society or i wonder if this is just a glimpse all off the nuts out there

I loved the “I can see Russia from my house” line.
Jess, come on, its not like we haven’t seen McCain lie before.

~Disillusioned~
Your comemnt made me sick to my stomache. I am a female and I wll NOT be voting for McCain/Palin just on the reasoning that she is a female. I do not agree with their policies and frankly I think she is untrained and under knowledged for the role she has to play. The VP needs to be ready and capable to be president if God Forbid something were to ever happen to the president. She is NOT capable or trained for that position. So the fact that she is a female has NOTHING to do with anything. It is NOT the idea that a female can not lead that has many saying NO to her, it is the fact that she is NOT qualififed for this job and that people do not agree with her policies. So you should a little more careful when crying sexism. It is in my opinion women like you who give women a bad image. Stop crying sexism just to cover up that people notice she is not qualified for this job.
I am not going to be so immature as to name call Palin/McCain voters. We ALL have the same right to vote for who we think will lead our country the best and I respect EVERYONE’s right to vote. So some of you really need to grow up. I am a Obama supporter and if you all do not like it well to bad, cause my rights are the same as yours and that is why we have elections so that everyone’s opinions can count. Act like the grown ups ya’ll are supposed to be and have respect for the freedom that MANY have died for, so that we have the right to vote for our leaders.
IF McCain wins I will be very dissapointed, but at least he will have been put into office because the majority of the citizens wanted him their.

If you’re that “Independent Minded”, then why to do childishly make fun of somebody’s name like the herds of all the other mindless sheeple out there?

Act like the grown ups ya’ll are supposed to be and have respect for the freedom…freedom. good word. Palin believes girls shoudl be forced to carry the pregnancies of their rapists to term and bear babies that are half rapists. Freedom. Imagine being raped and not having the freedom to rid your body of that evil. Nope. Your govenrment will FORCE you to develope that evil sperm inside you into YOUR baby.

“Palin believes girls shoudl be forced to carry the pregnancies of their rapists to term and bear babies that are half rapists”…that is So gross!!! I know it’s true, I heard her say so herself, but it’s just so gross,soooo extreme! I cannot believe, I CAN NOT believe republicans would do this to us, to themselves. When the time comes, I don’tthink they’ll do it. I think they’ll just not vote for vote for Ron Paul. I dont think even they, in their heart of hearts, woudl let Palin near the whitehouse.

I know Palin is a nutjob and unfit to lead because: SARAH PALIN DOES NOT BELIEVE IN ABORTION IN THE CASES ON INCEST AND RAPE. That is a disgusting thing to put a victim through. I think its totally insane that you would make a victim of incest carry the baby to term. This is a fact that she believes this look it up. What is wrong with you people wake up.

Jess: “have we seen McCain lie like this? SOOO flagrantly?”
I thought the attack on Obama for raising taxes for everyone making under $42k was pretty flagrant.
Then there was the one about how Obama’s energy plan was telling people to properly inflate their tires.
Then there is the one about how McCain always puts country first, when he himself told us that isn’t the case. In 2002 he admitted his first run for president was pretty much just to satisfy a long-standing personal ambition.
So, yes, I think we have seen him lie this flagrantly before.

jess – that’s nothing but a bunch of democratic talking points with all due respect.

democratic talking points ….. That is what you call rape? A ‘talking point’……this is why mcCain will lose overwhelmingly due to half the population walking away in DROVES. If you were a women and heard Palin say that she thinks girls should beforced to carry pregananices that resulted from rape and incest against their will you would have a HUGE problem. That you think this is a small thing shows how little respect you have for women. good bye wacko. I have work to doand you are a disgusting creep.

Dear “timmaaa7″
Please take ALL of your (far too many) comments and read them to yourself in a mirror. FEEL the anger and poison you are projecting at other human beings and realize that you are not only PART of the problem of ignorance, you are PERPETUATING it! When you’re done, go to: http://factcheck.org/ and educate yourself with REAL information, not just your self-constructed propaganda. You are the kind of name-calling person who makes ALL of us Honorable Conservatives look bad. Stop it!

matt – i don’t know what make’s you think he did’nt take drugs them three day’s, he had implants of doca tablet’s, did he take them out them three days. he had to take cortison tablet’s and injection’s to relieve the pressure and pain because he could not even walk without the medications help. i will say this, he did’nt take large doses of his meds because he was’nt moving around that much, he stayed glued to the oval office for the most point and also held several staff meetings in the oval office so he would not have to move around as much. so to say he did’nt take any meds at all is not true, by the time he started his first term as president he was addicted to the meds and had to take them everyday just to even stay awake. addisons disease is a crippling disease to were the pain is so severe, you mentally shut down from the pain. as i’m sure you know, the spinal cord and nerve’s play a vital role in most area’s of brain function, naturally your brain chemistry is affected by nerve damage and pain to where most brain function shut’s down normal thinking to deal with the severe pain which is where the meds came into play, he had to take the meds or he would not have even been able to deal the missle crisis. he also was quickly on the offensive with russia and was always a quick decision away from an executive order of military action even without a congress approval. that is also what President Bush did also but he had to take action after all attemps of diplomacy failed even if you liked the decision or not.

I still am clinging to hope that there are others out there-apparently not many in this forum-who truly care more about the country as a whole, more than bickering back and forth from Republican and Democratic parties. If I am a Republican and my party does not have the person I agree with as much as another party, I choose the other party! I am not a prisoner to my party. I am an AMERICAN. Just because you are a Democrat, doesn’t mean you are locked in to hating anything to do with Republicans. And, we wonder why our Congress and Senate bicker and fight, wasting our money, sometimes for months and years on crap just like this. I for one and SICK of all this crap going back and forth from party to party. ABC – one comment is true that is posted here…you have shown your colors this way and I am very sad that I will not be one your faithful viewers any longer. I can hear/read much better views from others from CNN or Fox where they are careful to keep the topic balanced. Why don’t you all just have a picture of Obama on the corner of the screen 24 hours a day, for goodness sake. And! I am probably voting for Obama, but, I still think you have passed a line that is unprofessional to your public viewers, from whom all parties are involved.

Dear “timmaaa7″
There you go again. ME prove YOU wrong? Not my job. Besides, you continue to do that for yourself. Your CONTENT proves you an angry conservative. Anger is not attractive, and that is how you threaten the base of the Honorable Conservatives. You attack me for attempting to correct you in the spirit of kindness. Then you *decide* ‘who I am’ just as you pretend to “know” the things you write here. I address YOU because of your continued and obstinate presence here. “Common Sense”?!! Come on: MAKE some sense! Please learn to spell and punctuate. Your sixth grade teacher is probably rolling over in her grave.
I need to get back to my real life now so have a nice day, and God Bless America!

What a Sad Situation The US is in..WE Have NO Qualified Candidates period…Not For The State our Nation is in..God HELP US ALL..Thie is Scary and Extremely SERIOUS..Mc Cain the Best but not HER

It was long awaited and funny as sh*t, I enjoyed it and I hope Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton did too. That is to say that I hope their appetite for humor is a healthy one.
McCain’s advisors have no sense of humor, are overly negative of everything and everyone including Senator McCain and Gov. Palin. It’s human to distrust and scrutinize when one gets a good dose of bullshit from the pigs in Prada who work for McCain/Palin.
Self-sabotage in the form of hiring the wrong people might be why some supporters feel that McCain/Palin are not getting a fair shake from critics.

Tina fey hit it so hard on the head. she needs to get a award for this one. if palin cant take this she will not make it in the white house. oppps, sorry, she isnt going to make it anyways.

Obama’s free ride on in the tank press friends has come to an end. Thanks to the internet the truth on Obama is still coming out. The Press can run but they can’t hide Obama.

OMG! Tina Faye hit the grand slam out of the park with this. SNL needs to let Sarah Palin come on the show with Sarah Palin oops I mean Tina Faye at the same time. They did this with Janet Reno and DiNiro / Divito in other skits in past seasons. SNL already looks like they are in the tank with Obama. A little time for our future V.P. would help their in the tank image while also resolving possible fairness doctrine issues in the future.

Can’t wait or the debates. After MdcCain and Obama and Palin and Hillary or Biden if they leave him in do their debates we need 1 more debate.
Let’s have a tag team smack down live with all 4 of them going on it tag team style. We could even let Obama bring both Hillary and Biden.

It’s funny damn it, have a sense of humor. Life’s too short.

Guess what DEMS
70% of Lehman employees are DEMS- I find that quite interesting. I guess DEMS don’t know a great deal about how to stay strong economically and continue to like to blame Republicans for the problems with the economy. It seems as if their is no surprise that DEMS can being just as greedy as any other average person. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,422784,00.html

i´m european of asian origin and not a voter for the election, just giving my opinion.a lot of mudslinging from both sides are not helping instead it has shown both candidates having no decency.enough is enough.give this a thought, barack hussien obama´s name alone sounds like he is from the other side of the world whose ambition is to be the head of the U.S.of A. Pardon me, yah,it´s just a name.secondly, he has a half-brother living in Kenya in a miserable condition. a handshake between brothers was the only exchange.his campaign says he had helped the needy.i dont get it.

gop4peace – you really need to understand i don’t type my message’s to please people and worry about minor typo’s, everbody does it and i never attack them over something so childish. people understand what i’m trying to say whether they agree with it or not, just like i understand what they are saying just the same! that’s the beauty of america. i’ve seen problem’s in your own spelling too, but i’m not attacking you over your own obstinate presence. so, it sounds like your more judgemental than what you think i am. i’m not a softball person when it come’s to my view’s just like some democrats are not either, that’s what i love about this country! so if you want an apology, fine, i apologize, but only to the one’s i verbally attacked by which you’re not one of them, because i never attacked you, period! but that’s also my point, other people may not agree with me and point out where they think i’m wrong, but you still have not proved me wrong from a conservative standpoint on what you think i said wrong when it comes to the comments i gave on issue’s. why are you giving me a web address to straighten out my fact’s, but you personally will not tell me where i’m wrong, other than saying you think i’m an angry person and that i’m wrong. if you have enough time to get on this site and read these blog’s, then i think you owe it to the conservative base to explain my fault’s of my comment’s on those political issue’s, not feeling’s. so people don’t have real lives if they are on this site, sounds like your attacking more people than just me, hypocrite! why are you making comment’s about me personally, but you can’t talk about any real issue’s tearing this country apart. so i’m the only one attacking people, yet you posted only two comment’s attacking me, and you say your conservative, which is that, republican or democrat? that’s why i believe you actually changed your name and acted like a conservative, but did’nt say from what side your on. only liberal’s say conservative and point straight to the republican party. a true conservative points out if they are democrat or republican because they still have diffences, a perfect example is joe lieberman which is now an independent like me voting for McCain. just because i’m voting republican this time does not make me a conservative republican. i have view’s of conservative moral issue’s and moderate view’s on economic issue’s, which is exactly what McCain is, and believe it or not, President Clinton too. i choose to be indepenent and not affiliated with a party, that’s my american right. so if your conservative feeling’s are being hurt, get on here and defend your view’s against other blogger’s other than just me, let’s see your knowledge be displayed and your own frustration that might grow into anger yourself, or are you to scared someone might hurt your feeling’s. that’s why i actually believe your a liberal in disquise, clever, but i still await your knowledgable arrival back to this site. i will now do my best to be respectful to other bloggers with different view’s so we can seriously come together on all issue’s and make progress for all our future’s, you have my promise, GOD Bless you all.

The CHOICE was made when you got Laid!

timmaaa7 you lyin sack of s#1t!
How dare you call yourself a conservative and go about moral values, et. al. when you spew out all that venom towards people with different views than yours.
You even have the gall to talk about people being hypocrites when you’re actually endorsing someone like Sarah Palin who is a common liar and who’s action are diametrically opposed to what she preaches.
To top it off, you bring God into it. You know, you’re going to be doing a looooong time in purgatory if you are not already directly going to hell.

Its amazing how comments appear in these blogs came not from individuals but from the Republican counter media machine. You can look how common content of the Anti-Obama rants. Its so embarrasingly obvious.

Hey, Wes, can you be more specific as to what things are made up to prove a point and also what are the sources for your research?
There is ample evidence from the likes of Hannity, Limbaugh, O’Reilly, et al which I’m certain you’ll agree, shows they do pull the ‘facts’ out of their @#ses.

So if making factual negative comments about Palin makes me a sexist than what about when I make factual negative comments about W?

That’s one of they many problems with you religious freaks. Just like you twist political facts you’ve also twist and pervert the teachings of Jesus Christ. You state that “i’m already forgiven for in my past, present, and future sin’s” and there’s the rub. You think you have carte-blanche to lie, cheat, steal as long as the end of the day you turn to Jesus for forgiveness.
Sara Palin is a buffon and McCain and his team should be ashamed for choosing an incompetent individual. Don’t misunderstand, politically it was an excellent move as it got all you nutjobs ‘inspired’. As an American, I am surprised that a man whom I admired would think so little of his country and it’s future. As a woman however I’m offended that they think that I would stupid enough to support this empty suit(dress).

Oh, you airhead Americans! My God!, it’s shown before your eyes in the Gibson interview, and still you are all in denial about this woman! Have you all gone completely insane as she and McCain are? Wake up idiots! WAKE UP! Even I was embarrassed for her as she stumbled. Any peabrain with the IQ of an idiot can see that she is not ready for “commandress in chief” She was as slick as she could be, trying to answer the question; but did not fool anyone that did not want to be fooled.As a woman, although I am for O”Bama, it pissed me off that Palin would be so stupid as to let herself be used as this “Stepford wife”; doing as the McCain advisors ask of her, and allowing herself to be hidden away because they are not confident that she can handle herself, and answer questions, just as she proved in this interview. I was pissed that she appeared to be a “stupid fumbling woman”, and possibly mess it up for future female candidates of either party who will be “prejudged” by men.
Don’t vote for ANY WOMAN. Vote for the candidate standing for issues relevant to you. Sadly ladies, Hillary supporters still in denial, undecideds, etc., You’ve appeared to go out of your minds and lose all common sense when Sarah Palin appeared. She gave ONE speech. One carefully scrutinized and picked-over speech by McCain advisors, delivered an Oscar-winning performance, and you all go out of your minds with emotion. Sadly, you’re proving to men who do not want you in politics anyway, that you cannot be trusted because you will vote with your emotions. Stupid women such as that good-for-nothing Ann Coulter, Bay Buchanan, and airhead Elizabeth Hasselbeck can allow themselves to like her based on one speech and without knowing who she is; and Bay Buchanan’s outright lying on panel discussions about how “Brilliant” she was, was pathetic, and just made her look more stupid, incompetent, and made my friend shout at the tv for her to “retire you old bat with your plastic face! Did the face surgery anesthesia go to your brain and create air pockets?!”
I had to think about what he said; for I believe it may have affected her brain. America, put your racist attitudes, pre-judgements,and all other evil aside. This is not a popularity contest. This is serious, please see it as such, and vote for the candidate with the issues relevant to you, and not because “It’s about time there’s a woman, so i’m voting for any woman!” She’s no Hillary! Our time will come. But for now, come out of the clouds, with love.

Yeap! Dubya is a real hero. That’s why the country is as screwed-up as it is and his approval rating is close to the teens!
You two must of gone to the same delusional schools!

George W Bush, is that YOU?
(I’m addressing the person who signed off as ‘i would vote for GWB again’ –myself, I have trouble even *typing* that phrase!)
It must be YOU George. I HOPE it’s you! it kills me to think that there are TWO people on the planet that could actually be that stupid…

gottabekiddin – your demorcatic liberal congress has a lower approval rating than President Bush, and that only happened in 2yrs, needless to say the lowest rating ever for congress. your also still alive, but we done figured out why it’s just to hard for you libs to understand that concept. what good is an economy for you if your dead, let me guess, you want the goverment to pay for your grass seed and weekly flower’s for your grave site to look pretty, tell that to the terrorist.

timmaaa7…I mean: George?…GWB …is that YOU?
Well, you’ve got us dead’n buried now, I see. Even offered to decorate our graves, how very thoughtful.
It’s a real trick for ANY current Congress to eradicate the mess left by the previous regime. It’s a cancer that’s been growing for 8 years. The surgery process can be devastating, but it’s got to be done of it’ll keep growing and kill us all.
Oh wait…you’ve already done that.
BTW, your terrorists are still in Afghanistan where they ALWAYS HAVE BEEN. Know your enemies and keep them close.
WE are watching YOU …from our graves, of course.

“you freakin liberal nut job’s amaze me and other level headed American’s. you liberal idiot’s really have hijacked the democratic party, you’re a bunch of stupid arrogant moron’s who think your sh** don’t stink. take your evolution caveman hollywood bullcrap back to the ocean and see when you come back if you can really have developed a brain. ape’s and monkey’s have more common sense than you moron’s, i wonder why, those are GOD’S creatures. you pompass idiot’s brought all your liberal ignorance bullsh** on yourselves and you are fully to blame for it and no one else, period!!!”
Oh, timmaaa7 — You write like you have a second grade education. You certainly are one of god’s creatures!
Please — for the love of heaven — LEARN HOW TO USE THE APOSTROPHE.
We can tackle spelling later.

THANKS, KRILLION!! Well-put!
WHEW…for a minute there, I thought we were all dead!
Maybe if we ignore timmaaa7 he will go away. It’s not really worth the effort to get through a head THAT THICK now, is it?!
Cheers, Good People. Rock on!

krill – once again, your proof of an idiot. i don’t care about typing up to your so called educated standards. i’m not in english class right now nor am i writing a biography, this is just blogging you moron. so, i can already tell you think i’m uneducated, which you idiot liberal’s are pretty damn good at, lol. but i don’t care about impressing sophisticated french queer’s like yourself. drink your starbuck’s and think of another moronic comment such as, when you blog, you must pronounce and punctuate, oh, i forgot to say apostrophe, forgive me professor krill. well, it’s been fun, but i have to go work, where i bet i make more money in one week than you make in 2 month’s. yep, that’s how i know the econonmy is good, i’m making money (because i want to and are willing to work with no excuses unlike gov. hand out liberal’s)because i’m alot more educated than you think without having to impress you with apostrophies and spelling on a blog site, i run my own trucking business while you play with yourself in your mom’s basement, lol. you liberal’s really are idiots, good day professor moron.

“Obama is calling all females PIGS with LIPSTICK”
Your dumb idiot, he was using an analogy? You know.. just like your savior John McCain said about Hillary 4 months ago?
Funny… how soon you forget. Get a life, and stop being a dumb idiot!

McCain is a racist pig just like Palin is. Read up on it at snopes.com… he wants all black people dead!
This is the person you want running the whitehouse? He wants 40% of this country to be killed.

“timmaaa7″ …BUT ALSO:
aka: “What your an idiot”…AND
aka: “krillion animal lover”
I KNEW you were lying about having a trucking business because there you ARE. You probably drove your business into the ground just as you have all the brainless jibberish you spout here.
At least my spelling and punctuation are INTENTIONAL while you have not a clue.
You are AS dishonest as the politicians you mindlessly-yet-verbally attempt to support as they circle the bowl:
http://www.mccainpedia.org/index.php/Count_the_Lies
Have a nice life. I’m off to find another venue where you AREN’T!

Tina Fey did a great job impersonating Sarah Palin.
Sarah Palin is a right wing extremist that won’t win this election with Old Man McCain.

The skit was hilarious; I can hardly wait for the Obama impersonators to come out, but me thinks there will be, by the libs, an outcry of racism. We all know you cannot question Obammie and I am sure you cannot ridicule him.
What makes people great is the ability to laugh at yourself.
Obammie doesn’t need to be “on” SNL; he has a steady show going on right now Monday-Friday Night Live whenever he opens his ridiculous mouth.
Where is the scrutiny of him and Obiden? Does anyone know of a conservative type “factcheck” site? Seriously.

Sarah and Laura would make a good team and keep the left subdued for 8 more years to boot.

Interesting Update on WMD

Subj: Interesting Update on WMD
On July 5, 2008, t he Associated Press (AP) released a story titled: Secret U.S. mission hauls uranium from Iraq . The opening paragraph is as follows:
The last major remnant of Saddam Hussein’s nuclear program – a huge stockpile of concentrated natural uranium – reached a Canadian port Saturday to complete a secret U.S. operation that included a two week airlift from Baghdad and a ship voyage crossing two oceans.
See anything wrong with this picture? We have been hearing from the far-left for more than five years how, “Bush lied.” Somehow, that slogan loses its credibility now that 550 metric tons of Saddam’s yellowcake, used for nuclear weapon enrichment, has been discovered and shipped to Canada for its new use as nuclear energy.
It appears that American troops found the 550 metric tons of uranium in 2003 after invading Iraq . They had to sit on this information and the uranium itself, for fear of terrorists attempting to steal it. It was guarded and kept safe by our military in a 23,000-acre site with large sand beams surrounding the site.
This is vindication for the Bush administration, having been attacked mercilessly by the liberal media and the far-left pundits on the blogosphere. Now that it is proven that President Bush did not lie about Saddam’s nuclear ambitions, one would think the mainstream media would report the story? Once the AP released the story, the mainstream media should have picked it up and broadcast it worldwide.
This never happened, due in large part I believe, to the fact that the mainstream media would have to admit they were wrong about Bush’s war motives all along. Thankfully, the AP got it right when it said, “The removal of 550 metric tons of ‘yellowcake’” – the seed material for higher-grade nuclear enrichment – was a significant step toward closing the books on Saddam’s nuclear legacy.”
Closing the book on Saddam’s nuclear legacy? Did Saddam have a nuclear legacy after all? I thought Bush lied? As it turns out, the people who lied were Joe Wilson and his wife.
Valerie Plame engaged in a clear case of nepotism and convinced the CIA to send her husband on a fact finding mission in February 2002, seeking to determine if Saddam Hussein attempted to buy yellowcake from Niger . The CIA and British intelligence believed Saddam contacted Niger for that purpose b ut needed proof.
During his trip to Niger , Wilson actually interviewed the former prime minister of Niger , Ibrahim Assane Mayaki. Mayaki told Wilson that in June of 1999, an Iraqi delegation expressed interest in “expanding commercial relations” for the purposes of purchasing yellowcake.
Wilson chose to overlook Mayaki’s remarks and reported to the CIA that there was no evidence of Hussein wanting to purchase yellowcake from Niger .
However, with British intelligence insisting the claim was true, President Bush used that same claim in his State of the Union address in January of 2003.
Outraged by Bush’s insistence that the claim was true, Wilson wrote an op-ed in the New York Times in the summer of 2003 slamming Bush.
Wilson did this in spite of the fact that Mayaki said Saddam did try to buy the yellowcake from Niger. The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence disagreed with Wilson and suppor ted Mayaki’s claim. This meant nothing to Wilson who was opposed to the Iraq war and thus had ulterior motives in covering up the prime minister’s statements.
It was a simple tactic really. If the far-left and their friends in the media could prove Bush lied about Hussein wanting to purchase yellowcake from Niger, it would undermine President Bush’s credibility and give them more cause for asking what other “lies” he may have told.
Yet, the real lie came from Wilson, who interpreted his own meaning from the prime minister’s statements and concluded all by himself that the claim of Saddam attempting to purchase yellowcake was “unequivocally wrong.” Curiously, the CIA sat on this information and did not inform the CIA Director, who sided with Bush on the yellowcake claim. This was made public in a bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee report in July 2004.
Valerie Plame also engaged in her own lie campaign by spreading the notion that the Bush adminis tration “outed” her as a CIA agent. Never mind that it was Richard Armitage — no friend of the Bush administration — who leaked Plame’s identity to the press. Never mind that Plame had not been in the field as a CIA agent in some six years.
The truth is, due to their opposition to the war, Joe Wilson, Valerie Plame, the mainstream media and their left-wing friends on the blogosphere engaged in a propaganda campaign to undermine the Bush administration. Now that Saddam’s uranium has been made public and is no longer a threat to the world, do you think these aforementioned parties will apologize and admit they were wrong? Don’t count on it. The rest of the American people should hear the truth about Saddam’s uranium. It is up to you and me to inform them every chance we get.
As far as the anti-war crowd is concerned, the next time they say that, “Bush lied,” we should tell them to, “Have the yellowcake and eat it too.”

Miriam,
AMEN! I agree with you…100%.

It takes leadership to understasnd and talk issues about what the people want. John McCain learned from leadership to starting chanting “change”. Hoever, he still doesn’t get it. Oh by the way, “doesn’t get it” also came from the leader and again the GOP has copied and chanting the phrase. Can the GOP come with their own phrases? Of course not, they don’t get it. Dummies!

1)The Left’s promise to commit suicide if George W Bush was re elected.
2)The Left’s promise to move to the Middle East and act as Saddamn’s human shields if the U.S. actually attempted to take Saddam’s military on in a fight.

Watch the rabies folks say none of the WMD info being released is true. Even though their drive by media is being quoted also as they were wrong on Bush &the WMD issue. How entertaining to watch the far left tumble into the Pacific Ocean.

Unfortunately, the U.S. will die if Palin is vice-president or president. The thought is even disdainly disgusting.
I was a McCain supporter when he ran against George Bush in the 2000 primary. He has now lost all creditability by insulting my intelligence.
Sure I’m pro-female, but why not Ms. Hutchinson (TX) or a female president of a university or college who represents educating our future generations.
Palin? She’ll continue to encourage (indirectly, of course, or may be not) all teenagers that it is okay to have unprotected sex and have babies.
John, you messed up. You have lost my vote and many other female votes.
Your Palin-effect is like an explosive orgasm from a one night stand. Check it out her 15 minutes of fame is fading fast; and no more one night stand.

Truth,
Your parents had unprotected sex. Aren’t you glad your mom didn’t have you hoovered out at the local abortion parlor?

My parents were married when I was conceived. Were yours?
It seems that your family has to be Republican in order to glorify unwed teenage pregnancies. Black teenagers have been terribly scorned for doing this, but “change is coming”, if Sara Palin is in office, it will be okay, no more scorn.
Remember, let’s tell the TRUTH.

I am not a stranger to political debate. I have 7 soapboxes right here under my computer desk, and 2 of them are labeled “Politics”. I wonder sometimes, when does debate fall into slander, personal attack, and defenseless language and action. I think it’s right here. So much time, so many belittling comments. The worst, that I’ve seen, may be… well, it’s not my place to name names. It’s just disappointing that so many people still can’t manage to discuss issues without involving personal attacks. My beliefs do not make me ‘good’ or ‘bad’. I may even think that one day, I am justified in taking that candy from a baby, but what makes me good or bad is whether I actually do take that candy. Believing in the sanctity of ‘life’ or the value of ‘choice’ doesn’t make me bad or good. It makes me American. Maybe we can stop attacking long enough to let this election develop without venom and wrath. The outcome may not be any different, but how we feel about our role may be very different.

Dear Truth,
Married parents have unprotected sex all the time. A lot of them have the child aborted to save careers, so they can make that trip to some nice Yuppy vacation spot or they just don’t want a brat in their life now or ever. So aren’t you glad your parents did not abort you. You are no better than Sarah Palin’s 5th child. You were spared from the abortion parlor and you should thank those who take a stand against brutally murdering the unborn.

All these liberals are so blinded by the Truth that they would rather worship Obama and call him their HOPE, this is because their hearts are by nature wicked! Obama is not your savior…you’ll find out soon enough. Get your head out of your butts and realize his Muslim ties

There is only one God. I don’t think he ever promoted or condoned abortion. If you can find a good pro abortion scripture please let us all know the chapter and verse. Wasn’t Tina Faye awesome as Vice President Palin?

God never promoted or condoned lies either. If you can find a good pro lie scripture please let everyone know the chapter and verse.(WOW! Scary! Sounds like the GOP and plagiarism. Sorry about the big word, it means copycat in case you guys “don’t get it”) Tina Fey was awesome as Alaskan Palin. Totally funny. Hit it out of the park. Now that is the TRUTH.
Learn to handle the truth or continue to take a nap or do time-out.
Oops! you guys slept and Obama has surpassed McCain in the polls. Looks like Alaskan Palin’s orgasm has passed.

Since you brought up Vice President Palin’s helping McCain in the polls which is indeed typical after a party’s convention please answer this since you lost the abortion debate. Where was Obama’s poll bounce after the Democratic Convention? (OOPS!)

You still didn’t answer MY concern or do you even get it. Oh, excuse me, I forgot with whom I am communicating.
Alright, here it is again, I mentioned lies. Like the ones being spewed by the GOP supporters, the lies that are heavily drenched in blatant ignorance.
The Ten Commandents even says “thou shalt not kill”. Everyone knows this but unfortunately it is ignored by many.
Abortion is wrong in the eyes of God.
These clinics have been around legally and illegally for along time and like illegal drugs will not go away because they are being heavily supported by the RIGHT. People with the money.
Some was asked why do black teenagers have so many babies. The answer: because they don’t have the money for abortions like the others.
But it is okay now, have the babies. The Governor of Alaska supports it and so does her followers.
Abstinence is key, but reality has shown differently hasn’t it. Just recently too.
Get my point.
Can’t Handle the TRUTH.

Dear Truth,
Unless you are a black person please quit spewing things about black people you only assume to be true. Blacks don’t need white Liberals explaining anything to others. The bible says do not murder. Look it up from those references in your own emails conversations. Killing babies is just plain wrong and you know it.

Typical white bread liberal. Run off and hide their head in the sand when they gotta confront the issues.

This is the first time I have ever blogged, and the only reason I am is because of the extremist views on both sides of the spectrum. I am a staunch conservative in my voting but work with staunch liberals. We frequently have very different views on just about everything. The one thing we do have in common is the decency of allowing the other person the disagree without bashing them or calling them names. I vehemently disagree with Obama on just about everything, BUT I do not think he is a horrible person (and certianly no more corrupt than any other politician). Sarah Palin is no more inexperienced than Obama in public service BUT she is not running for president. If you like Obama’s beliefs, vote for him. If you like McCain’s, vote for him. It is perfectly alright to have opposing viewpoints. It is perfectly alright to have passionate viewpoints. The truly tolerant know that. Bashing me (or those that think like me) is not going to get me to respect your viewpoint. It will only make me think you need therapy. For those that don’t think like me, I will venture to say, you would probaly be feeling the same way as me if you were bashed by conservatives. If the people on this blog cannot even treat each other with respect, what right do we have to demand that of our elected officials. “For how can you say to your brother ‘here, let me remove that thorn from your eye’ when you have a stick in yours! Hypocrite! First remove the stick from your own eye so that you may see to help your brother remove the thorn from his”.
One other thing; to the women on this blog who love Hillary Clinton, please do be so inclusive in your terminology regarding women’s views. I am conservative in views and am a strong woman. (Don’t believe me, just ask my husband, any of the men I work with, or any of the foriegn born muslim men I work with). The like of Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, National Organization for Women, etc have been allowed to define a strong woman and what a strong liberated woman wants for to long. I personally find them deeply offensive and have suffered as a result of their reverse sexist ideology. Now a new kind of strong woman has come on the scene. One that proves a woman can be conservative AND strong. This is electrifying for women like me who finally have someone to represent us on the national stage. Someone who gives us a voice, a voice that has been maligned, misrepresented, and squashed for to long. We other feminists are finally getting a chance to be heard. If you don’t agree, sorry. That is your choice. I have made mine. I am content with it. And, I am not ashamed of it.

Dear Strong Conservative,
I’m a Strong Liberal female, (and not a ‘leftist’.) But I will defend to the death your right to hold, share and vote your beliefs, even though they are different from mine.
There are two sides to everything and if we are persons of conscience it’s simply natural to choose a side and defend it! We can ‘agree to disagree’, discuss our views, and possibly LEARN SOMETHING from one another. (I believe THAT is the reason forums like this one have been provided?!)
You are absolutely right about personally controlling the fashion in which we defend our beliefs: “If the people on this blog cannot even treat each other with respect, what right do we have to demand that of our elected officials.”
Please, some of you, can’t we simply be adult about this and have discussions with SUBSTANCE? Name-calling and finger-pointing has no place here or anywhere else. It’s definitely NOT HELPING the human situation. (See Matthew 5:22)

I keep seeing “Obama’s a Muslim” on broads. Firstly, he is not a practicing Muslim. Secondly, even IF HE WAS, there is no law that says out Presidents have to be Christian. I am Christian and would just as easily vote for a Jew, Buhddist, Muslim, or an Atheist. I am voting for the BEST POLITICAL LEADER – not for a pastor or other religious leader.
A good person is good person. And if they are qualified to be President in America – regardless of gender, race, or religion – than that is what TRULY matters. We have freedom of religion in this country.
To use the “Obama is a Muslim” statement, is to use it as a FEAR TACTIC. Being Muslim does NOT mean one is a terrorist.
Sheesh.

Why do some of you insist on making abortion the hottest topic of your presidential choice? I am a pro-life democrat who believes life begins at conception. However, I don’t need Obama or McCain to tell me or others whether I have the right to choose or not. This is a personal and moral issue for me. What exactly are you expecting the president to do about abortion anyway? Do you expect him to abolish abortion, appoint justices to abolish abortion? Not a single president as gone after abortion itself, only phases such as partial birth and late term abortion. Get over it. If you don’t believe in abortion, don’t have one and don’t encourage anyone else to have one. You can’t make moral decisions for other people. God doesn’t force anyone to believe in Him, He gives you a choice—-a God given choice. Who are you to take away another persons choice? It’s just that simple.
