Seemingly Nervous About Palin’s Popularity, New Obama TV Ad Attacks McCain, Palin as Un-Mavericky

Seemingly attacking the ticket that claims they are Mavericks!

Worried? Possibly. But they’d be stupid if they didn’t refute this outright lie.

Nervous — they’re frightened out of their little minds!

And she believes the Earth is 5,000 years old. And that women shouldn’t have the choice to have an abortion when they’re raped. This woman is EXTREME.

I think a more effective ad would be Obama talking about the time he thought about joining the military. Cap it off with how running for president makes you qualified to be president. That should sway the independants!

Great reply, no lie will make it this time around. America does not need a Taliban regime which McSame and Palin want to put in place. They have exploited Sarah’s two children: her son with Dawn syndroma dn her teenage pregnant daughter and want to run away from WBush and Cheney. Being maverick is not going back to christian radicalism. No McCain, No Palin. God save America from the extremists. Great OBAMA/BIDEN08

Somone is stealing Hopey’s thunder and his poll numbers and he is unhappy!
Hillary 2012
McCain 2008

Seemingly nervous? Is that going to be the headline everytime McCain-Palin are called down for their lies?!

Obama made a wrong turn at Saddleback and appears to be on the bridge to no where.

I love it! Calls her out as a flipflopper and a liar.
Go get ‘em Obama!

It’s not very wise of him to bring up Lobbyists and Earmarks.

That’s Obama get. Sarah Palin should run the whole DNC away. Hiollar should be the President.

Nervous? The DNC should be. And we (PUMAs) tried to tell them. Hillary tried to tell them. But they were so sure that The Annointed would run away with the election that they listened to nothing except their hopes and dreams. I think the dream is beginning to feel a little bit like a nightmare. I can only hope it gets worse.
McCain/Palin ’08

Poor Obama…if you had just picked Hillary your presidency would have been sealed but your wife just couldn’t handle Hillary!!! Well at least you will always have your wife because you are not going to be the next president of the US. That position is designed for a real leader and that leader is McCain!!!

Palin and the ELMA Group!
Executive Leadership My …
She made clear that CONGRESS lost interest in the project and was not going to fund it. What kind of leadership does it take to say ok if your not going to pay for we will not build it?
Get Real! She is a liar along with McCain

Deepak Chopra says: “She is the reverse of Barack Obama, in essence his shadow, deriding his idealism and turning negativity into a cause for pride.”
So Palin is The Shadow and Obama is the Anti-Christ?
The election is turning into a comic book.
Hoodoo! You Do. Do What? Know A Man? What Man? The Man With the Power. What power? The power of Hoodoo? HOODOO? YOU DO!
And so it goes. Change? Hardly. Circularity is more like it. May they all fall down at the end of the song.

So what’s your point Jake? Of course Obama should be “worried” about Palin. The biggest mistake in politics is to underestimate your opponent.

Take him down Sarah !
Hillary left Obama’s glass jaw in 18 million pieces and you can shatter it!
PUMA baby!

the best these two awful choices could ever hope to be are a weaker version of jimmy carter (obama), and an angrier version of gerald ford (mccain)….

it was only a matter of time before obama’s campaign used the same karl rove tactics against palin that they used against Senator Clinton

Now its time to ask Hillary and Bill for a favor, after treating them like that and calling them “racist”? Pelosi, Dean, Reid and Obama made their beds and now they should lie in them. McCain/Palin 08
Clinton 2012

I do love that he’s getting it from all sides now, from those of us who watched his lying hatchet job on the Clintons, it’s what he sowed. However, I can’t believe that with all the pompous touting of his supporters being higher ed, that he and all his backers believed Clinton supporters would just fall in line, because of “where else are they going to go?” Well, to make sure you don’t get to go where you thought you deserved to be placed, WH. You’re being TOLD. So let me tell you, MAKE HILLARY VP!!!!! What have you got to lose? Have a huge rally with Biden being a hero wanting to create unity steps aside, with a loving speech. Everyone’s on stage with hugs and kisses….Dems are happy and may get to be dead even again. It’s better than being behind.

Palin is very smart on the bridge to nowhere. There is a great clip of an interview she did with Ted Stevens where she explains the mood of the country and the strategic necessity of switching positions on earmarks.
It reveals that she is a shrewd politician, capable of helping her good friend, Ted Stevens, as he grapples with vicious attacks by liberals.

I am a college senior who is so disgusted with all the double standard involved with the “vetting” of candidates. If the liberal media is so concerned about the vetting of Governor Sarah Palin, they should also be concerned about the democratic nominee as well. As someone else said above, I am also scared of this Obama guy. I will be voting for the first time in November and I feel so sad that I do not have a trustworthy democratic presidential candidate to vote for. I really liked Hillary Clinton and I feel that she and her supporters were cheated from securing her nomination.
After eight terrible years of Bush/Cheney, I believe USA deserves a good, patriotic, and experienced president with a solid Christian and American values. Barack Obama (with his muslim middle name) will never be the right man. Obama (not to mention his anti-American angry wife and hateful pastor) has too much garbbage and too many questionable associations that should disqualify him from seeking the highest office of the land. I am so shocked to see the democratic party and its top leaders working hard to secure his nomination. I know they will pay a heavy price on election day in November.
Since Barack Obama has miserably failed to convice me about:
1. his American origin and values
2. his Christian faith
3. his close association with people like Rezko, Ayers, and Rev. Wright
4. his alcohol and drug use
5. his shady dealings in Chicago politics
6. his philosophy about money and politics, etc.
I will never vote for him. I am an independent woman who strongly believes in America and her values and I know my country deserves a much better person for president than the shallow and opportunist Barack Hussein Obama.
I will be voting for the McCain/Palin ticket in Novemeber.

“Everyone should be afraid of having an extremist who represents a small fraction of the country’s views only a heartbeat away from the presidency.”
And everyone else should be afraid of having an extremist who wants to win the war on global poverty but doesn’t want to win the war on terrorism a heartbeat away from the national treasury.

I agree with my WIFE. Put Hillary on the ticket. It was a disasterous mistake that you didn’t.

I honestly cannot see how anyone with a single ounce of common sense could be taking McBush seriously. I mean really, lets think about it for a minute.
Jenny

She pandered for it during her campaign… then she killed it when costs got out of hand and her advisor(s) put it on lowest priority. IIRC, there are alternatives. They ended up keeping the money IIRC. The democratic party of alaska gave her credit for killing it on their attack website. Obama and Biden voted against sending that money to Katrina victims.

Obama would be four more years of Pelosi. THAT SCARES ME.

For all the innumerable challenges the bush-McCaint has heaped upon the nation, it is going to take someone with energy, vigor, stamina, youth and INTELLIGENCE, a Natural Born Leader to right America’s ship of state.
At 72 years, McCaint IS JUST NOT up to the task of re-enlivening the American Dream!
Lobbyists will run McCaint’s White House as senility sets in, in addition to his failed bush policies!

Barack, quickly, go back to the temple of doom in Denver and those fake columns and give us one of those really great speeches that …. say absolutely nothing.

obama has lobbyists on his staff, takes money from their spouses, and also takes money from ceo’s and high-ranking officials of companies who are in a position to prosper from his (wink-wink) help….

For people who continue to dismiss President Bush, please read the news today about military brash originally against the surge.

Of course he’s nervous. He knows Bush was elected twice (sort of). Never overestimate the voters.

Dear Chuck:
If you would do some additional research, I belive you would find that it was only 36 Million in Federal dollars that were set aside for the “Bridge.” The additional 329 Million for what the total project would cost, was to be paid for by the State of Alaska.
Thanking you in advance for your better research in the future……………

Obama is on a bridge to nowhere!
McCain-Palin ’08
Hillary ’12

Barack Obama is quite correct.
I have checked Sarah Palin. Bridge to Nowhere fact is true. Read it all over up in Alaska. Also go to Fact Check.org. She also lied about a few other things! She is taking claim to fame for cleaning up Alaska Corrupt Politics. Not true! Go Google Alaska Political Corruption. FBI Investigation started 2004. First FBI raid of legislators offices August, 2006. Sarah Palin elected Governor Nov, 2006. Her campaign was run for “change.” Her state government was not involved in doing investigation, not allowed to investigate by FBI. Sarah Palin did not start, did not do any of investigation, just had to coply with FBI. She just rode wave, all legislators were on alert! FBI in Anchorage from Washington – whole investigation out of Washington was handliing. As a few legislators said – Palin stretching truth she cleaned all corruption up.
FBI indicted REPUBLICAN PARTY RESPONSIBLE FOR ALASKA CORRUPTION. 11 LEGISLATOR INDICTED. ONE DEMOCRAT OFFICE RAIDED IN AUG, 2006 & NOT INDICTED.
McCain – Palin are not change!! Period!!
America is disaster under Republicans!!! Wake up everyone – doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize Republicans will lie to win this election – then if they do – lie to us some more!! Lie to America about going to war again?? Our national depth is worst in the whole history of our country!! More Republican Rule could very well bring America down.
Has anyone listened to all the news past few days?? Sunday another bank closed, Friday worst unemployment 6.1% in five years, Sunday bailout of Freddie Mac & Fannie Mae. And there are more dismal reports as well.
McCain – Palin are just more of same.

“Never send out a boy to do a man’s job.”
Hillary approved this message.

ignorant voters elect dubya twice – DNC: if we can’t beat him, we’ll join them! Obama/Biden 2008

Posted by: Danielle | Sep 8, 2008 5:36:21 PM
You can vote for Hillary in 2012 if the USA is still standing after you people vote the Skipper and MaryAnn in.

sharonklim
get over it youve lost already… and its still 7 weeks till the election… Obama never really was goign to be serious…you will not impugn half the democratic parties character I am sure you agree with that halfwit donna brazille who is soley responsible for Al Gores loss in 2000 or we wouldnt be having any of these discussions about Bush or mccain or palin or any bailouts of mortgage companies… nothing!

DNC and democratic leaders under-estimated the “bubba vote”,when they
nominated Obama……
“Bubba vote is a very large group
of voters,working class whites,who they
don’t vote on primaries,but they vote
in november elections…..
Those voters vote for president with
certain values,regardless of the party.
Mostly are conservatives with values as
religion,guns,country first,strong
defense and foreign policy,low taxes,
small government,independents,leaning
republicans……
McCAIN/PALIN ’08 ticket reflects
my values……..

j…..although i know obama is a hypocrite, i must admit that “The Skipper and Mary Ann” is a great description :)

Get me the phone …… I’m calling Oprah!

how about Gilligan (obama) and The Professor (biden)? gilligan needs the skipper to be relevant and the professor can’t get them off the island, despite his supposed expertise….

marian
it seems like there are religious freaks on the other side that are praying just as hard… we just want a competent president and its not Obama

sandy b,
Since Alaska had to cough out 329 MM dollars Palin decided not to go for the bridge. That clearly explains her filp flop. They were in such dire budget deficit that Palin had to sell the plane through a broker to get some money (plane was not sold on the Ebay as she proudly claims).

Senator Clinton, meanwhile, is the Love Boat….good health care by the Doc, a steady captain, everyone finds happiness by the end of the cruise/Administration….

LOL! Oh Barry, you have lost it. And say, where is Biden? The Obama campaign is desperate and runnig their camapign like a chinese fire drill now. LOL!
FACT:
Obama and Biden Voted Against Funding for Rebuilding After Katrina, But Supported Bridge to Nowhere Funding
Glad Governor Palin deep sixed the bridge! That’s waht a real leader in government does – makes executive decisions!
Hey Obama, keep going necative with your BS spin. Nobody is buying what you are trying to sell! You are PAVING the way to Washington for the only real change ticket – McCain-Palin! Keep it up, Ozero!
Mccain-Palin ’08
Hillary ’12

Translation:
Obama.
Is.
Desperate.

Cate
dont you know that the world is already blown up and we are sill here! It wont make a difference that Mccain/palin will be in for 4 yrs…there is an article on RCP about how Obama was lobbying to be nominted for a high politcal office when he couldnt make community organizing work… and now he is effectively dissing thew principles of saul alinsky who came up with those princeiples in the 30s he is the one and only hypocrite!

actually usvet the translation is
Obama.
is.
Right.
Mccain and his Comm for the Liberation of Iraq Team
are all the same people who broguht us the last 8 years of mistakes, manipulation and cover ups.

When the Democratic party turned their backs on 18 million voters, they signed their death warrant. Too bad, because this country really needed to get rid of the current administration.

“How will you explain it to your kids when there is no food on the table or gas in the car because you can’t afford it”
Stop donating to Barry’s lost cause and buy some food for your kids.

this is called finally getting what the heck is happening and doing something about it.
by the way, why isn’t abc all over the wacky sarah palin church videos flooding you tube? forget how to do it?
or is the mccain campaign breathing down disney’s neck like they just did ge /msnbc?

As I read some of the post here, it becomes very clear, that some of you think this is a game. One thing to keep in mind that no matter who wins, and who loses, ALL of these people will go back to their lives,their jobs and they have health insurance, and no matter, how they got their home, or how many homes they may have, they are likely to KEEP THEM! It is very sad that, we are ALWAYS trying to tell other countries what to do , and how to do it,yet here in this country there is still hate, based on the color on a mans skin. And no one is against a women being in any office, but if you vote for one simply because she is a women, that’s just dumb. So while you make the negative post about the candidates, I hope you are really thinking about yourself and your family. This is your chance to excercise your voting power and a chance to make difference in your own lives.
SO BE SELFISH, ASK YOURSELF, WHAT WILL I/or MY FAMILY GET OUT THE DEAL?

The Democratic Party in Alaska even credited Governor Palin for putting a stop to the bride project. They just recently scrubbed all the positive things they had posted on their websote about Governor Palin’s decision to put a stop to the bridge to nowhere.
Obama and Biden voted FOR the funding of the Bridge to Nowehere.
Governor Palin said NO DEAL!
Stand Up America!
Just Say No Deal to Ozero!
McCain-Palin ’08
Hillary ’12

Obama is showing himself to be an extremely argumentative person with an enormous sense of self-righteousness. On this, he makes George W. Bush look like a choirboy. Obama will argue endlessly over the most trivial, unimportant things. He was extremely rude during the debates, making sure he got to speak whenever he felt like, rules be damned. McCain is playing him like a cheap violin, standing back out of the way while Obama exposes more and more of the undesirable personality traits he has. Obama just can’t help himself. Periodically, when he’s feeling down, his claws come out and he flails away at everything in sight. Obama is easily rattled. Too easily rattled, I might add, to be President.

Obama, Dean & Pelosi are seeing those chickens come home to roost. If you diss your party’s largest constituency (women), what do you expect to happen? Oh right: “the new coalition” (liberal elites and the “50 state strategy” meant they didn’t need women any more. And women said: “Fine. You don’t need us, we don’t need you.”

“use-crossing out nearly
$500 million dollars in spending”
Including cutting funding for a shelter for unwed teen mothers.
She also requested over $200M in earmarks from her buddy ted Steven 6 months ago.
Ya know before she was against earmarks.

“Folks here is what happened Bridge to Nowhere from information I have found.”
The horse is dead so stop beating it.

Very effective ad. I think the “lie” quote from The New Republic at the end gives a sharper twist of the knife than is really necessary, but otherwise, a good effort from Team Obama. Bring ‘em on!!

Mccain is very close to Obama in Michigan(by 2) now, closing in on Ohio. If Mccain wins Michigan., Obama is done, finished.

Their desperation is showing.

It reflects the sorry state of the media that Obama should be running an ad to point out the lies that McCain and Palin are spinning. If the media was doing its job, Palin would not be able to get away with saying that she opposed the Bridge to Nowhere when in fact she actively lobbied for it.

So here is the scoop: Obama came out as a new face. He was so under qualified, how could he actually get people to vote for him? He used Hope and Change to reel people in. He was the one who would change the government, if given the chance. He painted Hillary as the same old Washington. He painted McCain that way too. So what if they had made a difference in the world, they were not new, they were just like every other bad person that Obama could think of. THEN…Palin! Not only was she a fresh face, new to Washington but SHE HAD ALREADY STARTED TO CHANGE THE WORLD!
Palin has proven that Obama had the chance to make a difference in his short time in politics and instead he did nothing. Oh wait he did vote “present” 130 times while in the senate.
Obama keep your change I want Palin-McCain 2008
Dem for Palin-McCain 2008

absolutely
Obama will never get to the white house now there is no use for any of you Obamabots to try and make us feel guilty! Obama will suffer and embarrassing loss, resign for the senate and go off to retire to hawaii thats the way it will be!

Oh no, please don’t give a shallow version of the facts and try to denigrate McCain and Palin. Please, please, it hurts so much, Obama…you will win for sure if you keep this kind of stuff up. Can’t wait until you win by doing these kind of ads. Oh, and make sure you continue to you point out how inexperienced and uninformed Palin is, just keep doing it. That’s the surefire winner. They just don’t get it, do they?
By the way, Obama, you voted 40-50% with George Bush. Does that make you a 50-60% “chance on change?” I guess that’s a little better.

NEW POLLS SHOWS OBAMA AHEAD TODAY BY 5 POINTS NATIONWIDE – FROM A TIE YESTERDAY AND A LEAD FROM MCCAIN FOR ONE DAY….
PALIN OR NO PALIN, MCCAIN CANNOT WIN THIS ELECTION..
PERIOD

I find this rather amusing. The ‘more’ obama chooses to stomp on Palin the WOMEN of America see right through him and his entire campaign. They (the obama camp) should have done more homework. I can’t wait till Palin SLAMS them hard on this one. This is gonna be good! Wait and Watch. :)
Posted by: Cindie | Sep 8, 2008 6:55:12 PM
Well unless they let the media have access to her, I guess we won’t be finding out.

mccain questions obama on military and security——wow look at the mess the repubs have us in——how is the oil for china going our people die in iraq for china what the hell is going on

Sorry tony,
It’s over. Obama should have waited until had had made some real change instead of just talking about it. Palin has already done so much and Obama, not so much.
That is why he will lose. He had time to do something but he couldn’t even choose a running mate who was a reformer.
Dem for Palin-McCain

Palin has already done so much and Obama, not so much.Posted by: alex | Sep 8, 2008 7:10:46 PM
What has she done?

Let me see if I have this straight Cindy: If we critcize her in anyway that’s bad. She’s going to “slam them hard.” The women of America are going to see right through this. Your assuming that Palin has any knowledge of foreign affairs, economics,health care, wars,. Biden will eat her alive. Is that a sexist remark? She’s come to play with the big boys now.

REMEMBER THIS I KNOW HILLARY –AND PALIN IS NOT HILLARY–NO WAY NO HOW NO PALIN.I JUST REMEMBER WHO MCCAIN REALLY REMINDS ME OF—–TYRONE FROM LAUGHIN—LETS GO DOWN TO THE SWINGS–

Good ad. Short. Accurate. Let the people hear the facts. It is a fact that Palin supported the Bridge to Nowhere, and then changed her mind when it was no longer popular. It is a fact that McCain’s team is heavily loaded with lobbyists and Bush advisers. There is no disputing the facts. So, while the McCain campaign may come out with a counter ad, it will be one that changes the topic… it won’t address these two facts.

The back-and-forth among bloggers here is vicious. I understand that emotions are intense. But, I assure you that both campaigns are run by professionals who are polling and making calculated judgments on how to best make their case. We should be spending time being more thoughtful and evaluating real information. This nonsense about who is scared and who is going to wipe who in debates is sort of useless to a more productive dialogue and decision-making about the future of our country. We should demand more of our politicians… but, ultimately a democracy depends on we the people. Can we be more civilized and provide meaningful commentary.

Palin has cut back on pork-barrel project requests, but in her two years in office, Alaska has requested nearly $750 million in special federal spending, by far the largest per-capita request in the nation. And as mayor of Wasilla, Palin hired a lobbyist and traveled to Washington annually to support earmarks for the town totaling $27 million.

I feel that I don’t know Palin at all. After all, before her, the newest commodity was Obama, but even he has been under the spotlight for 19 months during a very rigorous primary campaign. In contrast, Palin is a complete unknown. To be honest, I never heard of her before McCain chose her. Therefore, I think Gibson has a key role to play (and, it is only further underscored by the fact that access to Palin seems so limited). so, since it is unclear when, and even if, more accessibility will be provided, I hope Gibson addresses a few key questions:
* what does Palin consider to be her most significant accomplishments as mayor of Wasila and governor of Alaska?
* what would she like to accomplish in the first four-years of a McCain administration? what issues attract her interests? what does she see as her potential role in a McCain administration?
* about her apparent flip-flop on the Bridge to Nowhere. Is it a flip-flop? If so, would she like to re-word her speeches in any way to be more accurate?
* I’d like to know her view on abortion. If a teenager becomes pregnant, should she have a choice to keep the baby. We understand what her personal feelings are, but what should the country’s policy be? Would she favor overturning Roe v. Wade?
* We understand that she is in favor of drilling in ANWAR. Would she be interested in expanding that to any off-shore site in the US? To what extent does she believe that this supply of oil could make us independent of the Middle East? Will it relieve 10%, 50%, 90% of our dependence?
* Is it accurate that she has sought out (successfully) federal money for projects in Wasila? Does she feel that such fundraising is inappropriate? Would she be in favor of, as John McCain has said, “vetoing any bill with pork in it”?

Seemingly Nervous About Palin’s Popularity, New Obama TV Ad Attacks McCain, Palin as Un-Mavericky
WOW THAT HEADLINE IS SUBTLE.

one thing cannot be denied—–mccain voted in favor with bush 95% of the time——-how does that make him anything other than mcbush—-as for palin—really –who is palin—the queen of dogpatch—oh i forgot she shot a moose—-wow just what we need.

Hopefully she doesn’t shoot like Cheyney..lol

“Didn’t both Obama and Biden SUPPORT the Bridge to Nowhere?”
Glad you asked. Yes they both did.

Biden didn’t change his mind.
Palin did when it got too expensive.
And Jake here has a thread in which Alaskan Democrats give credit to Palin for stopping the bridge to nowhere.
Now you’re not going to say that Democrats are liars, are you?

drjohn
tell us about mccain challenges —not now but when he voted along with bush 95%.

you are answering a question with a question—what is your answer or point.

Which is why we are in the boat we are today.

The best thing Obama could have done was to stand up to the lying republicans by creating that ad. No need to let the lies settle into anyone’s psyche while McCain shelters his new chick. We all knew Sarah Palin was lying last week and so was her main man McCain.
Now Obama’s calling them out for blatent lies. Great move Obama! 2008 is the year swift-boating ends!!
Please everyone vote to avoid the swiftboat.
Obama 2008!

when you listen to my friends mccain all he can do is lie and make up lies about obama —i hope he doesent think we all are as dumb as he is–and believe him

mccain says he is not influenced by lobbiest——wow john you want us to believe they are giving you millions for nothing—-no john we are not that DUMB—talk about an idiot

NOW DONT FORGET MCCAIN HAS A NEW SOUL MATE—WOW GIVE ME A BREAK.

What is happening to the free world. I am not American I was born in a country where women were the first to get the vote.The NZ prime minister is a woman and does a fine job.She doesn’t spend her weekends out shooting at deer and telling women who have been raped that they should have the baby of their attacker.Do the moose have a right to life?I just want to comment that you have the rest of the world in your hands when you vote, not just America. We all go down with you in the political choices you make and you guys certainly haven’t been doing a very good job lately.

This is very stupid, the truth is the truth! No matter what anybody says at the end of the day we believe what we want to believe. If you like living the way you have been for the last 8 years vote McCain. If you would like to live better and live the way you did when Bill Clinton was president vote Obama. Its that simple and no one is wrong. Your vote depends on what you think is right and what you believe the truth is. Its not a black or white issue or a woman or a man issue its about the truth. I feel the truth is that Obama has been chosen to make a difference in all of our lives. Everybody will benefit from Obama because he stands for change.

Palin was FOR “the bridge to nowhere”, then she was against it. She ADORED sen. Stevens, now she avoids him like the plague. Just learned today that the bridge was nixed, BUT, Alaska got all that money anyway. How do you like them apples? How do you feel about a mini population, oil rich state getting millions and millions of tax dollars from the rest of us? Ear-mark Sarah will find a way do divert even greater sums to her rich friends up there. If she is so wonderful, how come it’s a REPUBLICAN legislature that is investigating her. Has she been back there since old man McCain picked her? Is the “first dude” a stay-at-home mom because Ms conservative doesn’t get home a lot? All her worts will come out soon enough.

The End of the Hillary Era

They Hate HerSarah Palin Brings Hillary Clinton Era to an End. Politics will never be the same again, says Anne Applebaum.Mostly she introduced a deeper, more reliable America to the snots. McCain Leads 53-41% Among White Women Independents Flocking to

Frankly I can’t see what difference it will make who actually wins the election if as predicted, the US dollar plunges to the value of monopoly money, considering that it’s being printed without any standard backing. If McSame wins however, he will have Annie Oakley there taking out her moose-gun to protect him from the public who will be enraged by the loss of their homes and their inability to even buy food with the severely devalued dollar.
Whosoever wins will most probably not see their term out in the resulting social unrest, however a Republican government would probably be much more effective and brutal in suppression of any resulting public insurrection.
The collapse of the US $ is considered inevitable, because even if the iraqi adventure is terminated, the 3.5 trillion $ the US has accumulated in international debt will be impossible to resolve or at least will leave a pitiful legacy that will take many future generations of Americans to pay off.
I do however feel so sorry for the poor & middle classes who will be fatally hurt by losing everything they own. The GOP & corporation executives responsible for the whole financial mess will no doubt survive by swiftly converting their assets into Euro and stashing it into Swiss Bank accounts.
I do not think that even Obama will be capable of rescuing the US from the predicted calamity, but with a McCain continuance of an financially unsustainable war policy a $ crash will be surely guaranteed.

This election isn’t just about money. It is a cultural war! Republicans are pushing a socialist survive by lying agenda and a teen pregnancy is ok morality! They make no mistakes for they have NO STANDARDS!

Wow, suddenly all the experts on Alaskan politics are patrolling the Internet. Who knew they even had it up in Alaska!
As for the cultural war, the ones fueling it are the Obama camp and the Democrats. Ask yourself why did BET (Black Entertainment Television) cover the Democratic convention and not the Reupublican convention?
What are they so afraid of?

Mavericks you say? Really?
Then care to explain why Keating has bundled 5 million for McCain’s campaign? Yes that same Keating of Keating 5 fame.
Where’s your maverick now?
As for the post about why is it BET only covered the DNC, that’s called knowing your demographic. The question I would pose to you is why was the RNC receiving 5x the coverage of the DNC. What are YOU afraid of?

Obama was first against Florida’s votes counting before he was for them counting–’course he had the nomination locked up by then.
Pundits a-plenty! Where is Edward R. Morrow when you need him? Guess with the other journalist as there don’t seem to be many questions about substance or follow up questions to oblique answers.
William F. Buckley had his opinions, but when he held a debate both sides were expressed for the audience to evaluate. Now, media biased, leading questions make it apparent which side the questioner is on, and it is not the audience’s.
Hopefully the race-gender-age arguments will lead to enough bashing, that clear platforms will emerge so the elected party can be evaluated for the next 4 yrs..
Billy Bob, Florida where the DNP now wants our votes.

Obama is such a liar. He wouldn’t know a truth if it came up and bit him. He’s the candidate who was calling for change
- and he selects Biden who is owned by MBNA and the epitome of a Washington insider. Biden and Obama ( or father and son ) are 2 of the most devious hypocritical politicians ever. If Obama wins ( or cheats his way ) into the presidency, It will be a pleasure to contact his fawning media when he screws up. It may become my full-time job.

News flash: Polls are stating that Polar Bears too are shifting to the Reb party.
Be scared.. Dem.. be very scared.
Actual quotes from the Polar Bears in Alaska:
‘We liked the attention and hoopla we got in Alaska when our name was being tossed around on the endangered-list. If we get removed from the list, we may become famous!”.
“It’s our aim to be fur coats in the white house one day.. and with Palin setting that fashion trend, it’s a real possibility and exciting!”
‘ “Personal discovery and growth and journey to make postive changes as a prez!” Get real. It hurts the brain to think for yourself and grow– and as polar bears we need to conserve that energy. Just follow the crowd.. The Reb party is it!’

Since when does responding to attacks qualify someone as being “nervous”? Particularly when some of the attacks are just outright lies?
Why is no one calling the Republicans on their incredible hypocrisy? After months of needling Obama for lacking experience and being nothing but a good speaker and a “celebrity,” for VP candidate McCain picks someone even LESS experienced, whose sold appeal seems to be… being a celebrity. Wow. I guess they’re admitting they were wrong about Obama. All they have left to go after him with is LIES.

After watching gov Palin’s interview I am scared. The combination of her total lack of experience and ultra conservative narrow minded views combined with the temper and backward thinking of John McCain is going to push this country to the point od no return if they become elected.

The major news media are not asking the candidates questions about their platforms. And they are treating Palin like a “hot potato” — not asking any questions. Wake up! This is the future of the US! News media, do your job and ask questions of EVERYONE.
