Simple Is As . . .

More bombastic slogans… echos of the Titanic sinking.

Seems All media even here is bought and paid for by obama and his friends.

Diane Sawyer & Charlie Gibson will be going on air soon with “Breaking News!!!” from Lindsay Lohan who will give us all “the scoop” on Sarah Palin. What a joke ABC NEWS has become, the laughingstock of all the networks, even lower than Katie Couric now. Put on your serious look now, Charlie, and Diane, pout a little more, gawd….

Yeah, simple is the right word to use.
John McCain may have endured the hardship of being a POW in Vietnam. We appreciate his courage and his patriotism. Does it means that because someone is a POW, you are automatically qualified to be president? Is that all you need? I did not hear anything about what McCain would do for the ill shaped economy and other pressing issues we are now facing. All I hear over and over and over is “McCain was a POW.” I did not hear about any agenda. I found myself flipping through the channels, looking for something interesting to watch. By the way who is Sarah Palin? The only thing I seem to know about her is that she has five children. WOW, that’s a lot of diapers to change, including McCain’s.

Clifton I don’t think you guys are sinking….you’re just drifting aimlessly.
Good luck with that.

nancy, I have no idea what the dem agenda is except
Tax & spend, tax & spend, tax & spend.

Gerald, no, being a POW doesn’t automatically qualify you, but the way he wouldn’t be released until his fellow troops were also speaks VOLUMES about his character and how he can be trusted.
Something sorely lacking in DC. And why would anyone trust Obama who came out of the most corrupt political system in the nation – Chicago?
You can’t. Period. End of story.

I smell defeat!!!
Fred Thompson said it well, “WE WILL LOSE, BUT NOT WITHOUT A FIGHT…
Bravo Repugs, nothing new, more of the same boring rhetoric..
I put my son to sleep with Lapdogs Liebermans speech..
:O)

Who was the bald commentator during the convention tonight that was so obviously biased towards the Democrats? After every uplifting and spirited speech was interrupted, he would predictably add his cold water splash of negativity. While America cheered, he yawned. Great addition to the ABC convention team? – No! Where’s the objectivity ABC? We listened to you glow over Obama for a week, now give us our due or we will all change the channel. Terrible coverage.

Why is it that the political pundits in the MSM almost always praise each moment of the convention? Does anyone truly think that Joe Lieberman’s speech brought McCain votes? At least I still remember some lines from the DNC.(Twin Cities line from Hillary, “enough” and 10% change line from Obama)

Rob,
The Democrats who gave Bush what he wanted will have to answer for themselves, but there would have been no invasion or occupation of Iraq had Gore been sworn in as president.
Any Democratic president would have taken down the Taliban, but would have done it with the U.S. military rather than count on tribal leaders who were of course interested in taking power, but to whom capturing Bin Laden was of little importance.
There is such a thing as accountability. George W Bush was and is the representative of the Republican party. The damage he has done to our military, our standing with our allies (you know, the U.S. flag waving ones in Germany that McCain takes every opportunity to belittle), and our economy is their doing also as they vouched for campaigned for him.
Bush is their standard bearer, and if their is any such thing as accountability, this party needs to pay a price in political power. Otherwise the democracy looses the advantage we have over Castro’s Cuba: The ability to self-correct.
Separately, John McCain has his own issues to answer for:
o His senseless don’t talk with your enemies policy;
o His desire to divert part of the money currently paying for Social Security checks to young people;
o His idea that health insurance; companies should be regulated by a friendly state of their own choice;
o His support of the fillibuster of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act;
o The hot headed response he has displayed on many occasions including Russia’s invasion of Georgia;
o His gambling addict tendencies as demonstrated in his VP pick;
o His deafness to the stagnent wages of the middle class — at the same time frame that the wealthiest Americans have basically doubled their wealth;
o The lies he has told (re Obama visiting wounded troops, re Obama’s energy policy, re Obama’s tax cuts for Americans making less than $150K)
o His stunning reversals on every issue he ever disagreed with the Republican orthodoxy;
o His heartlessness when it comes to everyone in America having health insurance so that they can actually get treatment if they were, for example, to get melanoma;
As I was saying, John McCain’s own issues should be enough to reject him in November.

What does it tell us when:
1) a foreign publication has devoted a series of reports investigating the authenticity of Obama’s birth certificate, his Indonesian citizenship, his trip to Pakistan using an Indonesian passport when he was 20 years old, all raising questions about his eligibility to be president;
2)records of his Muslim religion that contradicts his assertion that he has never been a Muslim, (www.israelinsider.com)
3) but the American MSM has not reported about it at all;
4) instead we’ve been bombarded with news about the pregnancy of Palin’s teenage daughter, a family matter.
5) the MSM has not reported about Obama’s campaign shutting down a radio station to prevent Stanley Kurtz, a National Review reporter, to talk about his findings of the Chicago Annenberg documents?
If it is the MSM’s purpose to cover up any negative news about Obama, it’s backfiring because by doing this, these rumors will not go away. If there is nothing to hide, it is the MSM’s media to disprove it with their own investigation.

Tomorrow night will be the first night I watch either convention. I can’t wait to hear Palin. My gut feeling is telling me that her life story is much more real than Obama’s. She seems to be an accidental politician, whereas Obama is a conniving one.

Rick, you aren’t the first commentator I’ve heard saying essentially that the Republicans favor simple words and short sentences.
I’m wondering if that’s really such a good thing. It seems to be a deliberate “dumbing down” in an effort to appeal to those who aren’t capable of following more complex thoughts.
Do you really think that bodes well for the country?

Lieberman is bad. He is horrible. liar!

OIL prices per Barrel have recently dropped $40 Dollars but GAS Prices are only down about 10 Cents. Yesterday, the OIL Refineries announced that they are reducing Production by 50 Per Cent, in order to keep GAS Prices up at $4 Dollars per Gallon. This is an Outrage, and the BUSH Team should reverse this decision immediately. FAT Chance since BUSH is in bed with the OIL Industry. Why would we Vote for McCain who wants to Continue all of the BUSH policies? McCain owns 7 Homes, so what does he care about the Price of GAS? In 1962 the Steel Industry tried to RAPE America by doubling Steel Prices. John Kennedy picked up the Phone and told the Steel Industry to knock it off, and Steel Prices dropped the next day. Has George Bush ever picked up the Phone and told anybody to knock it off? Just another Example of the OIL Industry and rich Republicans raping America again!

If the Republicans are trying to play the gender card, it certainly is working on me. I’ve been a Democrat all my life. I was sickened by the way Democrats treated Hillary, and I am sickened by the way they are attacking Sarah Palin. Why do I owe loyalty to a party that clearly shows little respect for women? I realize the Republicans are trying to exploit the anger of Democratic women. At the same time, I applaud the fact that Republicans don’t seem to have a problem with a woman in the White House. Conservatives have treated Palin with far more respect than many Democrats treated Clinton. I was going to stay home in November. With the nomination of Sarah Palin, I will cast my vote for the Republicans.

There is something very wrong with two barren women (Diane and Robin) talking about motherhood. They never, ever asked Biden why he didn’t quit the senate when his wife died and he had young children to raise. They never asked Obama why he deserted his kids for 2 years to run for president. They never asked Obama about his foreign policy experience, or Biden’s 5 draft deferrals, or his son being under investigation for Hedge Fund irregularities. Did they ask Biden about his plagiarism, his lies about his academic record? Biden made anti-Indian jokes, but we don’t hear about that. Did they ask how Biden could confuse brigades and batallions in his acceptance speech?
No, the nutjobs at ABCNEWS have discredited themselves.

Mark Shields on PBS speaking for Palin’s daughter. Are you kidding me?

I watched some of it including Fred Thompson’s speech. Reasonable job, but then I went to my computer and checked out the speeches given at the Paul convention across town. All of the Paul convention speeches were on issues about where we have gone astray and how to fix things, especially on foreign policy. The republicans really should have let him speak at the RNC even if his speech was restricted to fiscal conservatism and smaller government. As it stands now, everybody is pissed at the republicans including republicans like myself.

Geevil, Mark Shields actually suggested that Sarah Palin is not a good mother. In pointing out that her daughter is now “the most famous pregnant 17-yr old” in the country, Shields insinuated that Palin is putting her political ambitions above her duties as a mother. It never occurred to him that Palin may actually feel called upon to serve her country. And no criticism of Obama campaiging for President when he has two small children at home who need him. Mark Shields reached a new low last night on PBS.

Liberals are finding themselves critical of Sarah…. a woman’s choice to raise children and earn a living, calling it bad parenting. Maybe it is because the Dem’s have no one like Sarah. Has anybody ever asked Barack Obama can he bring up his two kids and be president of the United States? If Sarah was a dem none of this would be an issue. Where are the Feminist? You can not have it both ways. Where are the Feminist? Stop the sexism. The dem’s and the his media can’t even follow Obama message so how can he lead.
