		<description>Holy crap, you&#039;re missing the big picture here.
PALIN ADJUSTED A BILL BEFORE CONGRESS WITHOUT ANY AUTHORITY!!!
That&#039;s the only way she could request an earmark.
A Governor is allowed to request spending, but a Governor has no call on the Federal Bills, and no say in whether a request will be funded by a spending bill, by an earmark, or rejected.
However Ms. Palin HERSELF requested earmarks?  WOW that is impressive.
Did she sneak into the Capitol building and adjust the text of the bills while nobody was looking?  Did she have a disguise and pretend to be someone else?
Or are you dishonestly claiming that she did something she didn&#039;t have the authority, ability, or opportunity to do?
Oh, it&#039;s just the last one?  Not quite as exciting then.  You just lied and claimed she did that when she did nothing of the sort...
Good job.

		<description>Cant Stand It dont worry.  Henry Paulson is sending his plan to Congress next month, then quitting in January.  Im sure he will get hired by a big bank to consult on the plan he wrote.  Following McCain picking Palin as VP we can look forward to CArly Fiorina as Sec of the Treasury who will do the same wonders for america that she did at HP.  WE&#039;ll see her preening on tv plenty but she wont actually do anything but &#039;let markets work&#039; while regular people lose their shirts.
Vote 3rd Party this year, yup time for a change alright.

		<description>NINE-ELEVEN
Anyone in these times that can still believe Barak Obama &quot;might&quot; be a Muslim deserves to be called an idiot.  The rest of your tirade is just as intelligent.
Have YOU thought about what might happen if we have to endure four more years like the last eight?
The world&#039;s financial markets are once more on the skids; good luck to any of us that were depending on our savings during retirement.  I suppose I can always live in the house I&#039;ve been trying to sell for over two years.....oh, you probably don&#039;t know that you can&#039;t sell homes in America anymore, do you?
I retired over two years ago on George&#039;s watch with a million dollar net worth (not kidding) and had to move out of the country so I could afford to keep eating.  Also not kidding....after my $1,300 a month health insurance bill there was a whopping total of $700 a month left to live on.  Of course I can always keep supplementing that with my retirement savings......oooh, I forgot, they&#039;re almost all gone !!!!!!  I&#039;m using them to pay for the house I can&#039;t sell...........
Sure, I&#039;m just itching to vote for another four years of Republicans.  Where do I sign up?

		<description>John and Cindy McCain looked very patriotic visiting ground zero, hand in hand.  Barack Hussein Obama looked like a guy who couldn&#039;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  &quot;God Damn America&quot; 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&#039;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 &quot;the way our people speak&quot;. 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!
