McCain Wants Cuomo at SEC

McCain = DISHONORABLE; Palin = SCARY!!!

What a crock!!!!!!!!

Nice try, but Chris Cox really shouldn’t be the fall guy for this.

Imagine if Barack or Michelle Obama’s e-mail had been hacked. Would the reaction from the folks at the Los Angeles Times be so muted? If an Obama were the victim, it’s easy to picture Times editor Tim Rutten penning a hissy-fit op-ed, angrily demanding a federal investigation, and trying to formulate how the McCain campaign was directly involved.
The Times relegated the story of Palin’s e-mail account being hacked to the “National Briefing” section, buried in the middle of page A16, with a puny 85 words, in Thursday’s paper (9/18/08). (See the image of the story.)
The New York Times? The story didn’t even make it to the actual paper; it only went as far as their blog.

How much you wanna bet that if he gets into office, he’ll pick someone else? “I admire Andrew Cuomo, but my advisers and I decided [X] would be a better fit for our policy plans.”
Remember what Bush said… and what he did.

I believe him.

MCCAIN AND PALIN: THE BRIDGE TO NOWHERE

Another scam by the Right Wing
Sadam has WEAPONS OF MASS DESTUCTION::
IF AIG FAILS,
THE SKY WILL FALL
THE SKY IS FALLING, THE SKY IS FALLING.
ARE WE JUST AMERICAN FOOLS.

Palin is LUCKY the media didn’t make a bigger deal about her email being breached.
The AP reported that someone broke into her Yahoo account by just knowing her zip code and birthday, and guessing that she met her husband in high school.
This is her idea of national security–doing state business on a Yahoo account, with publicly available personal info as her password protection??
What else did she leave unsecured?

Did you watch Obama’s 60 minutes interview? When asked what qualification he has to run for presidency…The only two that he could come up with was
DISPOSITION & ABILITY TO BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER
My goodness this is scary..
you should get hold of the tape
and they have to Audacity to go after Palin’s qualification..

so…what’s Obama’s position this week… on any issue?
I think if there is someone pandering…Obama most certainly has earned that crown

hmn Yeah, hand it over to Dodd (D) on the banking committee who takes the most money from financial institutions.
Hand it over Schumer, Hagel, Dole and all the rest on the finance committee who are in the tank for Wall Street.
Hand it over to Kerry and Pelosi who have their own personal money invested in Fannie Mae and Pelosi who’s invested money in T. Bone Pickens. Hand it over to Obama, who in just 4 years, has managed to get more money from Wall Street second only to Dodd. Maybe we should all vote 3rd party rather then give our votes to either Obama or McCain. This is a bi-partisan mess driven by a cast of characters on both sides who are in the tank for Wall Street and special interests including even groups like ACORN. This is why Obama copping out of public financing was a joke, one of the purposes of public financing is to limit the influence of special interests. Now the Dems are going to do the same thing with this legislation that they did when deregulating the banking industry was happening, acting like kids in a candy store and tacking more and more onto it. This time I hope they do at least include some consumer protections.

Danny If George Will and Limbaugh are upset that McCain would go after Cox then it can’t be all that bad.

clifton Palin threatened to go to war with Russia? Listen to that whole interview again instead of just the soundbites. Not once did Palin threaten or even imply we should go to war with Russia. She was asked if Georgia was in NATO if that would mean we would need to get militarily involved to which she replied “perhaps so”. That would be the same answer either Obama or McCain would give. Both Obama and McCain support both Georgia and Ukraine entering NATO. NATO is a defense organization and if a NATO country is invaded or attacked the other NATO members are obligated to assist and could that mean militarily?
Perhaps so. Neither Obama or McCain have implied or advocated military involvement nor did Palin. There is no real difference between the two tickets on Russia/Georgia. Neither ticket wants to see a resumption of the Cold War and neither wants a military conflict with Russia. Obama, after about 4 tries, ended up saying pretty much the same thing McCain did in regards to the conflict.

alpaig52, we’ve just had 8 years of a presdint who shoots from the hip instead of thinking from the brain. 4,126 dead, 30,323 wounded, $1 Trillion down the garbage chute.
Palin said that since Georgia may be part of NATO, that we’d have to go to War with Russia if they attached Georgia? That, my friend, is threatening war against Russia.
Spare us. We need a leader who can think, and who takes his time and consults with others to reach the solutions that will work for this country.
You’ve all had your turn at death and killing as your solution, and we see the results. It’s our turn now, and a better day is coming.

Clifton,
By the way, we Democrats have no fear of Russia whatsoever. A true Democrat does not believe in appeasement. John F. Kennedy was no shrinking violet. We do believe in transparency of decision-making, and accountability, and that’s not what we’re getting from a Bush administration. So it is time for a distinctive change. I’m not sure who’s best in this realm, yet.

WestCoastMessenger Kennedy with Kruschev was a disaster that even Kennedy admitted himself was one of the worst experiences he had ever had when he met with Kruschev. Kruschev saw Kennedy as young and intelligent but weak and inexperienced and Kennedy walked away knowing that. The Berlin Wall went up to which Kennedy said a wall is alot better then war; we had the Cuban Missile Crisis and Kennedy increased our presence in VietNam in part to show Russia he was tough.

COUNTRY BEFORE PARTY!

Clifton Sorry, Obama (after three years of campaigning and talking about foreign policy on the campaign trail)
should know Russia has veto power in the UN Security Council and he didn’t.
We are both in agreement about macho talk and foreign policy. I don’t like the way McCain sometimes comes off with bellicose rhetoric on the campaign trail
BUT I have also heard and read his foreign policy speech he gave in San Francisco, have heard him on townhalls
and even having listened to him on 60 minutes tonight am comfortable with the idea that he is not a warmonger nor a George W. We have three Senators on these two tickets who will deal with Congress far differently then George W will and McCain doesn’t have the foreign policy experience he lacks in his VP choice to compensate for his lack of so no Bush/Cheney dynamic there;
McCain has far more experience in foreign policy then George W did and is not at all well liked among the far right and neo-cons and he has a strong history of bi-partisan work on major issues and has better relationships with the Dems then within his own party at times. So McCain is no George W no matter how you want to slice it. He may not have the positions you are looking for or be the candidate you want to see win and if he does win you may not be happy with him but he will be his own man and we will have a McCain Presidency not a George W 3rd term. McCain and Bush hate each other and that’s been well documented .

cincyr,
What exactly is wrong with scoring bipartisan points? Would you rather see the candidates acting in a partisan manner?

I agree Senator McCain…At times Democrats are better on the Job.

Heres the kicker. If obama was to choose Cuomo, McCain would attack Obama as being anti-partisan. At least Obama is willing to look at all job applicants than to shoot of at the mouth again. McCain needs time to think about his foot in mouth answers. I would have been happier, if he would have said, he is looking at many possibilities from all sides. Quick decision making does not make a good leader. It makes a good dictator. He needs to slow down, and think of America, and quit being a Toadie for Tycoons. He needs to stand up for himself, without his advisors. That made him popualar 15 years ago. These last twelve years of whispers of Oil, have started to hurt him.

Ah, too bad Pelosi and Kerry lost money having invested in AIG- oh well, Pelosi has invested in T. Bone Pickens so maybe she can pick up the slack. Why don’t you people who seem to think this economic crisis is partisan or lands at the feet of just one party do some homework. Why don’t you look at whose on the banking and finance committees and look at how much money they get from Fannie Mae or financial institutions. Why don’t you look at where these people invest their money.
Why don’t you look at Dodd and the Countrywide scandal. Why don’t you look at who benefited from the housing bill and who those beneficiaries have contributed to. McCain put forth a bill in 2005 wanting more regulation
and voicing concerns about what was happening in the sub-prime market- where was Obama? We deregulated the banking industry under Bill Clinton with the support of both parties . Presidents since Carter have been deregulating varied industries. This is a bi-partisan mess and the system is corrupt and does need to be reformed. If Obama is the reformer then why did he back out of public financing which is in part intended to minimize the influence of special interests. Could it be because it’s the Democrats who are the Wall Street darlings this election and that he brings in more money from Wall Street then McCain? I’m not going to defend the Repubs but I’m also not going to be party to pretending that the Dems aren’t also 50% responsible for the mess we’re in.

Thinking What do you know about his record? It must not be a thing if you somehow believe that McCain hasn’t worked bi-partisan. He has a strong record of bi-partisan work on major issues and in fact it’s one of the reason the far right doesn’t like him- he works with and is too friendly with the Dems. ‘mon- he’s best friends with Biden; friends with Kennedy; friends with Hillary; Kerry wanted him to be his VP candidate; Feingold says that while he supports Obama he doesn’t fear a McCain Presidency because McCain is really an independent; he’s friends with Daschle; he’s obviously friends with Lieberman who votes 95% of the time with the Democrats; the Dems tried to get him to jump ship from the GOP to the Dems and as Bill Clinton says he’s not your typical Republican. If he were then he’d be double digits behind after 8 years of Bush. The far right hates him and trusts him less then the liberals do. He and Bush can’t stand each other. There is no doubt that McCain will have a bi-partisan cabinet if anyone knows anything about McCain other then getting there info from the Huffington Post and MSNBC.

Well in 2000 I might have voted for him, i thought then he was a moderate, but now I know that he is not. He has completely sold out to the far right of the Republican Party, and can not be trusted. He has shown that he tends to knee jerk reactions, not well thought out, and is unable to motivate those around him.
His political pandering, from Palin to Cox, to Coumo, tax gas holidays, drilling, Bush tax cuts, Rovian tactics, out right lies, he is not the same man.

Thinking What about Obama’s political pandering to the far left and his backtracking on NAFTA, FISA, public financing, gun control, death penalty,
Iran and so on ? He’s had four years to do this in comparison to McCain’s almost 30 years. I would hope over almost 30 years one could change their mind dependent on the circumstances. Why is it Obama said nothing on the Senate floor about Iraq until he decided to run for President? Even his own camp acknowledges this. I won’t defend or justify any Rovian tactics on the part of the McCain camp but what about the Obama camp and some of their lies and distortions? They are the one’s saying they’re new politics and going to stay above it all and yet they haven’t. These candidates want to win and anyone who runs for President has to be a bit arrogant and narcissistic in the first place . I’ve heard Obama supporters justify his backtracking on issues and playing low by saying “well, he can’t do his agenda unless he wins and then he’ll go back on track”- well, it works both ways. I don’t like the fact that for the past 2 years McCain has pandered to his own party but
he at least has a record and accomplishments that enable me to take a leap of faith- more so then with Obama.

historyforgotten Well, I have no love whatsoever for Phil Gramm who was on board with McCain as an economic advisor and who we well know was involved in deregulating the banking industry. Big turnoff for me until it became apparent to me that one of Obama’s economic advisors is David Wolf, who heads UBS and is Gramm’s boss.
Obama has just as many unsortly types in the economic arena around him as does McCain. So while I can agree with you about McCain, Obama has no moral higher ground and in fact is on the same playing level. That’s not hope or change in my book. Obama has less to worry about because he has no record and does things like not showing up to vote and actually making his position clear to be held accountable on. The fact that he gets more money from Wall Street then McCain this election and while he represents the candidate of change would back out of public financing says something in itself. Now I don’t begrudge him backing out of public financing because he wants to win, but don’t tell me he’s about change though or stands on principle or that I have any reason to hang my hopes on him. You can’t look at the money behind Obama and tell me he doesn’t represent big money any more then you can McCain- so I’m not buying that fantasy. Obama is a corporate candidate just like every other Washington politician, simple as that.
I see no record whatsoever in Obama’s
time in Illinois or the US Senate that tells me he’s a potential reformer, strongly bi-partisan or that he will stand up to his party or special interests- quite the contrary in fact.
McCain voted 90% of the time with the Repubs but Obama voted 97% of the time with the Dems. What I can bank on with McCain is he has a record of reform, bi-partisan work and standing up to special interests and his party at times. He won’t be in past one term so he won’t be worrying about getting reelected. He has strong relationships with the Democrats. The far right hates him and that’s a plus in my book.
The Democrats like him, that’s a plus.
Pelosi and Reid hate him, big plus in my book. Palin, while I question her lack of experience just as I do Obama’s, was a brilliant choice for McCain. The far right loves her because of her stance on social issues so she brings that base in; she’s the female counterpart to Obama in that she’s an up and coming bright star within her party so she brings in new people based on that appeal and she has a reformist streak that reenergizes McCain and allows him to be McCain. McCain having Palin on the ticket gets the social conservatives off his back and allows him to say things like the Republicans have failed these past 8 years that he couldn’t get away with if she wasn’t on the ticket. The beauty of it is her governing isn’t dictated by her conservative social positions (as Bill Clinton even acknowledged the other day). I have no interest in the liberal smear campaign going on directed towards her and more interest in what the people of Alaska thought of her and she was highly popular there , was considered more of a populist and someone who doesn’t where her beliefs on social issues on her sleeve nor let it dictate policy when she governs.

Nat So why didn’t he win in a landslide over Clinton? Why can’t he get a substantial lead over McCain or
is in such a tight race right now? I think Obama will win but in a very close race. I also think something could happen in the upcoming time left that could tilt the election either way
and I wouldn’t even venture to predict what that would be or who it would benefit. But as is right now, you’re landslide theory is nothing more than a pipedream.

alpaig52, Let me ask you this. Did she lie to Gibson about not blinking when ask to be VP, or did she lie to Sean Hannity when she said she wanted to ask her daughters first? Just curious about this.

You know, two years ago, there was an article in the National Geographic about ANWR.
I just recently dug up the copy, and was looking through it when I saw the article on ANWR, and I cannot believe Palin would destroy such a beautiful place. Sure, they’re proposing to drilling over the whole of ANWR, but there’re plenty of animals who will lose their habitats already. And if they hit a large amount of oil that extends into the protected territory, they will push for the land to be opened up.
I really don’t understand Palin. How can she be highly religious but at the same time so reckless about the environment-which in her book, should be God’s creation that Man should be taking care of and not destroying? Polar bears: Oh, they will adapt to living on land.

I’m starting to think that Gibsons attitude had more to do with what was cut out than what was left in that interview.

Grey Matter McCain doesn’t support drilling in ANWR. I don’t either . I did watch an interview with Palin on CNBC with some Maria gal , where Palin talks about drilling in ANWR. She had me almost convinced after listening to her. I’m not going there yet but it did make me rethink whether I really know that much about ANWR and whether what I do know about it is indeed pretty politically motivated. I’m pretty sure you can find the interview on You Tube. They take you out to the area they talk about drilling in ANWR.
One thing I do trust about Palin is that I grew up with a father who grew up on a farm and hunted and fished and loved the outdoors his whole life. The far left puts those folks down and acts like they’re idiots but I can’t think of anyone who understands and is more committed to conservation and to the land they grew up with then those folks.
So in my mind, Palin has credibility in that regard.

alpaig35,
To me, Palin seems pretty callous about the environment…I mean, sure she may hunt and stuff like you do, but she for one also tried to sue the government to get the polar bear taken off the endangered species list…Well, yeah, but she would have considerable influence if she becomes VP, and that could help the oil companies get support, and that’s something I really oppose.
I’d like to believe McCain but I don’t know, since he seems to have thrown some of his honour under the bus lately, and he’s been flip-flopping on too many things.

alpaig52, Let me ask you this. Did she lie to Gibson about not blinking when ask to be VP, or did she lie to Sean Hannity when she said she wanted to ask her daughters first? Just curious about this.
She is putting on two faces. One for each crowd. Republican and Dems are BOTH calling her out. Sure her quick buck idea works for a year, but all the people of Alaska was not given a plan to get out of their debt. Her short-sightedness, is not a change from Bush. Her narrow view of the future, is just that. Narrow. She does not stand by her mistakes, and ran from Wasila. Now she is running from Alaska. Next she will run FROM the US. This is not a VP pick. She was a quick ‘wow’.

Your points are indeed valid, but to me, I think if we didn’t have so many enemies in the Middle-East and if we would try to engage them and help stabilise the region, then at least our dependence on foreign oil won’t have so much potential to be jeopardised.
The problem is that offshore drilling will take a pretty long time to find the oil, we may not see the results for many years, and it will not be able to currently benefit us.

-McCain of 2000 still exists and that if there ever was a candidate who had the feist and guts to actually attempt reform that it would be him.-
alpaig52, Its called a take-over. Even Republicans are refering to ‘Maveric’ as the gambler from the old tv show. He bluff, until he can see who wins. Then he says, ‘Ive been on your side the whole time. hee hee.

alpaig52,
I respect your choice, and I’m glad you prefer McCain because of his stand on issues and records, and not like some people who are screaming all kinds of rubbish about Obama. Even Obama supporters when they are against McCain supporters seem to get into a virtual fight and start calling each other names and throwing false accusations all over the place at both sides.
For me, I think Obama is pretty solid, and while he’s certainly not been in the US Senate for as long as McCain, he’s served as a senator in the state senate for 8 years before moving up to the US Senate. His seat on the foreign policy committee and when I listen to him he gives me the idea he knows what he’s doing. He seens genuine, and when I watched the RNC, I initially was quite annoyed by all the divisive remarks and I didn’t really like Palin’s speech.
However, when McCain spoke, he seemed like a genuinely decent person to me, and I was touched by his description of his days in Vietnam and he really sounded more bi-partisan then the other speakers. Lately, though, he’s been saying stuff like, “It’s Country first or Obama first” or like allowing the whole “lipstick on a pig thing” to get blown out of proportion which I find quite offensive, and why I feel I cannot support him. I hope the decent McCain is still in there, though. That’s just my opinion, though (:

Grey Matter I think all four of these people on both tickets are decent individuals. I actually like all four for different reasons. People vote for different reasons and regardless of the ticket we opt to vote for we’re all taking a leap of faith in that candidate. I have high regard for Obama’s intelligence and for me his “nuance’ when it comes to his answers works for me. I think more like Obama and that’s what appeals to me about him. I can listen to him, not on his teleprompter big speeches but rather his one/one interviews , and say to myself that perhaps I should vote for him. I think McCain’s intelligence though is vastly underrated and he will never be as eloquent as Obama nor will he speak to me generationally in the way Obama does- but what McCain does have though is that he’s principled; he’s willing to show up and stand up and cast his vote and take the consequences for such and that’s something Obama sorely lacks. McCain to me is doer. I think Bill CLinton was right when he said the choice will be between someone who represents change or seems to be a transformative figure
vs. someone who has actually shown they can be an agent of change. I’ve known many intelligent people in my life , brilliant people, who’ve not been good managers nor been able to accomplish anything they seemed so capable of. For me, I’d like to see Obama go back to the Senate and actually get the experience (because he squandered his Foreign Relations committee experience totally) and the record and come back in 2012 and I’d vote for him in a second.

Leonard I don’t own guns either. I learned to use a gun and hunt when I was young and fortunately never shot a thing. While I don’t have the heart to shoot an animal (unless I have no choice) , I have a healthy respect for those who do because I grew up around it. I’m now a professional who works in social services/public health and who works in urban areas and I see the use of guns (with some exception obviously) in those two circumstances as being very different and the problems being unique to those environments. There is clearly a balance between ensuring there are laws which respect the rights of those who own and use guns responsibly and those who do not. When you see irresponsible or criminal use of guns, whether it be in a rural or urban community, there are clearly underlying issues there in both cases that need to be addressed and are more the root cause then the actual ownership of the gun itself.
I’m not an NRA member but I think what happens though is that when liberals get on issues around guns there is a perception of a high tolerance and empathy for the issues within the urban communities and to how those play out and a perception of total disdain for those outside the urban areas. Someone like Palin appeals to blue collar and rural voters because she doesn’t represent them rather she is them. People want to know that they are heard, understood and respected by those they vote for and the Democrats have failed this election miserably with those voters and really don’t deserve their votes. I have never seen so many blogs during the primaries and now that have made reference to those blue collar and rural voters as uneducated, low class, neanderthals,
white t—h and so on. I may be a college educated professional now but my roots are with a father who never missed one day of work in the factory in which he worked and who enjoyed his hunting and fishing and listening to Hank Williams or polka tunes. If the Dems lose this election this year it will be because they’ve done a poor job of reaching out to that group and Obama had poor judgement in not putting Clinton on who towards the end was seen as a champion of that group and McCain and the impeccable judgement of bringing on someone who could.

I would disagree with that alpaig52, because from the way I saw Palin answering at the Gibson interview, her answers did not seem to show depth of understanding of foreign policy is quite weak. Obama’s understanding of it, I do not believe came from giving his speeches on the campaign trail over the past 2 years. It seems to come from his great interest and studies in the subjects, and his position on the Senate, not his advisors. He could not even start running for president if he could not ev en convince his would-be advisors that he understood foreign policy. I don’t think Palin can duplicate that easily.
Obama has also been an advocate for more action in Sudan, against the genocide going on there, before he even started running for president, and he seems to be aware of all this stuff. Obama himself, in my opinion, already knows something about foreign policy, and Biden is there to back him up at least, while for the Republicans, Palin won’t we be able to compare to McCain-i.e serving as president- at least not for a while. I cannot deny Obama has less experience than McCain or Biden, but from what he says, he seems to have put a lot of thought into all these issues.
Palin, I agree does seem to be like a normal person, but to me she comes across as rather polarizing. For the people who like her, there will be many who also don’t-with a passion. Her views such as on issues like overturning Roe vs Wade, and teaching creationism in class may not find their way into law, but some people feel that she is not representative of them. I am one of those who do not agree with her views, so I guess that’s why.

Grey Matter We’re in agreement about Palin- she has no depth of understanding around foreign policy.
Obama didn’t deal with foreign policy as a community organizer or State Senator. He spent the majority of his time in the US Senate campaigning for President. He never held one hearing in his stewardship on the sub-committee on Foreign Relations he held because he was too busy campaigning. Where do people like Biden and McCain and Richardson get there foreign policy experience? By the committees they’re on. That’s where they acquired their depth of knowledge, perspective and experience by holding those hearing and traveling to places like Iraq. Obama decided he could just skip over getting the experience and run for President.
In his book “Audacity of Hope” he talks about foreign policy to some degree but so what? He’s an intelligent man with opinions. I’ve seen alot of bloggers, and you may be one, who’ve given alot of thought to foreign policy and can articulate those thoughts well- that’s not foreign policy experience though. Obama himself has said most of his work has been just having to talk. That’s what Senators do and that’s what community organizers do alot of. So that’s established- Obama is intelligent and thoughtful and a good talker- but where’s the experience? Now Governor’s don’t just talk, they actually have to govern but they don’t need to be fluent on foreign policy most of the time. Now I live in MN and Pawlenty talks alot about foreign policy and why? because he has grander political aspirations and was trying to schmooze his way on to the McCain ticket. Obviously Palin didn’t have the grand political aspirations on a national level that either Pawlenty or Obama did. That’s part of her appeal for some though. She’s the true Washington outsider. She makes Obama sound like an old politics Washington insider. No one doubts Obama’s intelligence but I wouldn’t underestimate Palin’s intelligence or political instincts either. I don’t expect much from her now though. Obviously you can run for Prez with minimal foreign policy experience because Obama is and most of our President’s for sometime have been Governor’s with minimal foreign policy experience. George Sr is the only one in recent time who came in with a considerable amount of foreign policy experience and it actually showed. Sorry, I think Biden should be on the top of the ticket and Obama as VP and if Palin is anywhere on a ticket it should be as VP. Palin is in the right spot if you’re going to put your partie’s up and comer on the ticket and Obama is in the wrong spot. I’ve put alot of thought into these issues and so have you- but that doesn’t mean we’re ready to be President. I’m not going to cut Obama though totally short, he is politically skilled in many, many ways and has personal attributes that would serve him well as President and he is intelligent and thoughtful, a good orator and while he is nowhere in the same league in accomplishments or experience as a McCain (by no fault of his own but rather you can’t compare only 143 active days in the US Senate to almost 30 years and expect the same results) he is still not without his own accomplishments. I don’t think Obama is experienced enough to be Prez but at the same time maybe bringing on someone less experienced like an Obama or Palin may not be a bad thing. I’ll keep a certain amount of openness to it. I am very liberal on social issues and certainly do not agree with Palin but I respect anyone’s right to have a different opinion then mine. I don’t vote on social issues for the most part at this point in life and what’s most important is how those personal beliefs impact her governing or implementing policy. There is nothing I have seen in her role as Governor that gives me any major reason to be concerned, at least not yet. I was appalled that Pastor Wright believed HIV was a genocidal plot of the governments and that Wright believed that blacks think with one side of their brain and whites with the other and that he felt schools were racist because they didn’t take that fact, as known to him, into account. Obama went to that church for 20 years and I believe him and have no reason whatsoever to doubt that whatever he may have heard come out of his Pastor’s mouth will have any impact on his governing or implementing policy. I give that to him , so why would I not Palin. I don’t like GD America and alot of what I heard from that church but I respect Obama’s right to attend there and expect that he speak to some of what his church has preached and where he stands on it and I am satisfied with everything he has said. I think the left needs to let go of their total hypocrisy and pretense around religious tolerance and give Palin the same shake.

” 60,000 in The Villages, FL yesterday. GO PALIN!!
McCain/Palin 08″
OH, SO NOW IT IS OK FOR A CANDIDATE TO BE CELEBRITY! IT WAS A PROBLEM FOR OBAMA. Hypocrites. BTW: It’s nice to know a Walmart is there.

There was no crowd announced–it was the population of the retirement community you nitwit.
“SHE WAS WELCOMED LIKE A STAR, with tens of thousands cramming into a plaza and nearby streets in this ENORMOUS RETIREMENT COMMUNITY about an hour north of Orlando. Some waited more than five hours in 92-degree heat to see her speak for 23 minutes.
Palin arrived in Florida on Friday and had no public events Saturday, though she told the crowd her daughters PIPER AND WILLOW GOT TO GO TO DISNEY WORLD.”
I bet if there was anybody under 55, they were bused in as part of their vacation package sold by the RNC.

Rick Davis, “Senator John McCain’s campaign manager was paid more than $30,000 a month for five years as president of an advocacy group set up by the mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to defend them against stricter regulations, current and former officials say”.
NYTimes

Go to the UN first? The UN couldn’t even act on its own resolutions re. Iraq. The UN is as worthless as ti_ s on a frog. McCain understands this – Obama, who has spent his whole life in an “ACADEMIA BUBBLE,” has no clue!!

Mr. McCain’s campaign is slowly dying.

Not to beat a dead horse, but how do we negotiate from force, after Obama’s plans to cut military spending are enacted?
Take, for example, we leave South Korea.
Would Obama’s diplomacy stop the North from launching missiles as soon as we were gone, or is it the threat of annihilation that stops the attack?
