The Pork Wars, Continued

And she used a teleprompter to do it.
She’s not ready and everybody knows it now. She’s not even doing Chris Wallace tomorrow. If she can’t play softball, she is not ready for Hardball.
McCain-Palin. Still hiding the 1984 Miss Alaska runner up from the press on Day 8.
McCain-Palin. Absolutely Not Ready on Day One.
Especially without the prompter running.

for your god sake palin stop the lies and speak the truth.

Obama’s point was that her words should matter… She has lied so much already, and this is while she is scripted. Wait until the Press Conference!! Of course you’ll be waiting a long, long time.

Let’s see she repeats the bridge lie.
When did she champion earmark reform?
Does she mean this?
“We just talked about earmark reform and how it’s going to happen,” Palin said in February, shortly after she attended a breakfast for Republican governors featuring McCain as the keynote speaker.”
Palin fighting earmark reform since Feb 2008!
“We did cut back earmarks in our state”
She requested $200M in earmarks 6 moths ago.
“that secret system, eleventh hour, behind-closed-doors, no public scrutiny earmark system that is broken. We will end that”
You mean the system that has become much more transparent under Coburn-Obama and will continue to grow more transparent as those two Senators continue to work together to expand that law?

She’s a liar and a fraud.
It’s ridiculous that Americans are falling for this stuff AGAIN…

By the way, Senator Obama also sponsored the “Transparency and Integrity in Earmarks Act” in the U.S. Senate in 2006 precisely to end “that secret system, eleventh hour, behind-closed-doors, no public scrutiny earmark system” Palin spoke of (or rather, I should say, the McCain campaign speechwriter spoke of).

Jake, I notice you did not comment about Obama’s earmarks, at all? Did you just not know about them? You do consider yourself a Journalist, do you not? Oh, I see, you only slam those who have to work within the earmark system currently in place, until they can change it as they do desire. As apposed to slamming those who work within the earmark system and have no intent to change it like Obama. Has Obama ever fought against or turned down an earmark that worked for him? Jake, I think you can do better. I think if you just give it a little more effort, you could be more biased then you already are.Come on! Make ABC proud!

Atleast she doesn’t deny that she’s a liar. She just admitted it…
I thought Obama had done nothing and had been running for President the whole time? I love that she follows with no facts.

“Try to compare their qualification/experience and don’t be so naive that politicians will not lie to you.”
So this is the Republican fallback position when they get caught lying? This is no excuse. Thats what I try to teach my kids, but its damn hard to teach kids right from wrong with a Republican in the White House.

Obama has requested nearly $1 billion in earmarks in just three years. That’s about a million dollars for every working day. McCain has NEVER requested earmarks! Enough said…
McCain/Palin 08

This case is simple. Obama and Biden are less likely to reduce earmarks. McCain and Palin are highly likely to reduce earmarks, to such a degree that beltway Washington considers it a grave threat. You will see the talking heads at their shrillest over the next 60 days. It doesn’t really matter to me. I’m going to vote for Obama because I’d like to see a Democrat appoint the next Supreme Court justices. After an Obama administration, though, the Democrats will not likely hold the top seat for the next 24 years thereafter, so lets hope he appoints younger justices.

“McCain has NEVER requested earmarks”
—————————
Thats just out and out wrong.
In 2006, the senator teamed up with fellow Arizona senator Jon Kyl (R) to funnel $10 million toward the University of Arizona for an academic center named after the late Supreme Court Justice William Rehnquist. Even Arizona lawmaker, Rep. Jeff Flake (R), said he was planning to “lean against the measure.” The National Taxpayers Union, another traditional McCain ally, questioned why the senator was making federal taxpayers foot the bill for the center.

I truly doubt Obama had 1 billion in ear marks in 3 years and since they are secret as you all claim how do you know??????

Obama has his own problems …did you listen to the report by the embedded reporter from Obama’s camp–reporting from Chicago–Stats out today from an independent congressional watchdog group
88% of the time John McCain votes against pork/earmark spending. They rated Obama voting 18% of the time against pork/earmarks. I think Obama will have to answer this.

God, don’t insult Barbie.

She didn’t read the right cue cards, She read McCain’s cards.

I think she was vetted better than many that’s potted out in front of a tv camera.

Again, they figure if they lie loud and frequently enough, people will believe them. After all, didn’t you guys in the media also attack her pregnant daughter?
Obama knows that this is effectively a game without refs.

Hey Mike,
If Obama is not against earmarks then he is not for change and certainly not in DC as earmarks are one of the single biggest budget busters for non financed pet projects there is.

I’m an ex-democrat-Hillary supporter-
voting republican…..
SARAH PALIN ROCKS…..GREAT PERSONALITY.
It’s time for America to have a female
VP-a governor from Alaska…..
COUNTRY FIRST……
McCAIN/PALIN ’08

Bruce,
The reason you don’t have income or sales tax is oil royalties and enormous federal earmarks.

Excuse me Mike, I should have stated Ryan but I see, my original post applies you you as well, based on your remarks.
If Obama is not against earmarks then he is not for change and certainly not in DC as earmarks are one of the single biggest budget busters for non financed pet projects there is.
I am supposed to believe in the change from Obama who has been in Congress 4 years as part of the the biggest do nothing Democrat controlled contgress ever and never has seen or at least stated he saw a problem with earmarks. As apposed to believing someone who may have had to work within the earmark system but does see a problem with it and stated so? I don’t think so. It is pretty clear who believes in pipe dreams and lies from their candidate.

I believe Zogby is supporter and donor for Obama is he not?

McCain “Less Taxes!” Right on. I don’t want to pay more taxes!!!!!!!!!No way No how, No Bama.

Wait a minute $17B a year in earmarks is the problem?
But not the $10B a month spent in Iraq?

Bill W: do you want bureaucrats to decide where funds are directed to? Or do you want elected officials to decide that?
It seems to me a lot of people do not really understand earmark spending.
Goverment has a certain amount of money which has to be directed. You can direct that money without any earmarks to for instance ‘Transportion projects’ and than Transportation can direct that money to fund several projects of its choosing.
With earmarks, the *same* amount of money is sent to Transportation projects, but now it are elected officials who say: “Part of this money has to be spent on …”. That’s an earmark.

Our 2007 budget was $2.3 trillion.
We spent $234B alone on interest on our national debt.
And McCain wants to focus on $17B in earmarks?

Bruce: From an Obama supporter: Wow, thoughtful comment, which is kind of rare on this blog. I’d give you a plus if Tapper had ratings. I love Alaska and the Yukon, and it’s good to hear from a local.
Alaska’s infrastructure and economic issues are really distinct from the rest of the country, and I don’t think taxation issues are comparable. For me, the bridge wasn’t much of an issue as much as the patronage around it.
I don’t give a rip about taxes, which I pay happily in order to live in the greatest country on Earth. My concern is less with Palin (although I have significant ones) than with McCain’s decision making process. This has revealed him to be dangerously impulsive, a gambler at the craps table (which he loves). If it were up to him, we’d be shooting Russians in Georgia right now. This is a real pattern with him.

Country (club) first Mccain!!!

I am one voter who really gets a big hee-haw when Obama says he is for any legislation with the word “INTEGRITY” in it. He has none what so ever. He the most corrupt politician in the last 100 years running for President.
Only real senate bill Obama passed was to name a post office. Big deal. LOL
Palin runs the biggest state in size. Obama runs the biggest mouth from South Chicago.

What an idiotic comment.”I would love to pay higher taxes” Man, did you have some lefty teachers or what.

Cindy Mccain wore a 313,000 outfit at the convention.that’s a house for middle America.The true elitist,out of touch Mccain’s.

Oh Robert thats a good reason! How old are you again??

When you’re poor, it can be hard to pay the bills. When you’re rich, it’s hard to keep track of all the bills that need paying. It’s a lesson Cindy McCain learned the hard way when NEWSWEEK raised questions about an overdue property-tax bill on a La Jolla, Calif., property owned by a trust that she oversees. Mrs. McCain is a beer heiress with an estimated $100 million fortune and, along with her husband, she owns at least seven properties, including condos in California and Arizona. [...]
Shortly after NEWSWEEK inquired about the matter, the McCain aide e-mailed a receipt dated Friday, June 27, confirming payment by the trust to San Diego County in the amount of $6,744.42. County officials say the trust still owes an additional $1,742 for this year, an amount that is overdue and will go into default July 1. Told of the outstanding $1,742, the aide said: “The trust has paid all bills shown owing as of today and will pay all other bills due

Christy: I’m the one who commented that I’m proud to pay my taxes. It’s a patriotic duty. I don’t want to get into a food fight, but I feel strongly that if I’m asking soldiers to lay their lives on the battlefield, then I can spare some income. Money can be replaced, lives can’t.
You don’t get something for nothing, hon, and America is really something.

Willem,
I agree. No way McCain goes to war over every earmark.

“You can’t make citizens prosper by making Washington richer”
Fred Thompson

Obama has never said he opposes pork spending. he stating Palin’s a hypocrit because she claims she against pork spending yet she was spending a lobbyist to washington to lobby money for alaska.
That’s the point Obama was trying to make.

John McCain has stated he will veto every bill with ear marks and make the people famous. Well he’s had 26 years to speak up and make them famous and done nothing all this time. But then most of the ear marks up till 2006 were Republican so I can see why he hesitated, party loyalty, you know not wanting to bad mouth his own people.

“You can’t make citizens prosper by making Washington richer”
Uhmmmm. Yes you can: Clinton proved it.
Thompson is a fool, that’s why he lost.

Palin is playing defense. Obama should continue to hammer her on her lies. She is a liar. She support pork barrel project and even hire a lobbyist for state of Alaska all in the name of pork project. I guess she hired Rick Davis to lobby McCain for pork. Hypocrisy at its best.

The results are simple: Democratic presidents have consistently higher economic growth and consistently lower unemployment than Republican presidents. If you add in a time lag, you get the same result. If you eliminate the best and worst presidents, you get the same result. If you take a look at other economic indicators, you get the same result. There’s just no way around it: Democratic administrations are better for the economy than Republican administrations.
Skeptics offer two arguments: first, that presidents don’t control the economy; second, that there are too few data points to draw any firm conclusions. Neither argument is convincing. It’s true that presidents don’t control the economy, but they do influence it — as everyone tacitly acknowledges by fighting like crazed banshees over every facet of fiscal policy ever offered up by a president.
The second argument doesn’t hold water either. The dataset that delivers these results now covers more than 50 years, 10 administrations, and half a dozen different measures. That’s a fair amount of data, and the results are awesomely consistent: Democrats do better no matter what you measure, how you measure it, or how you fiddle with the data.

Facts are stubborn thing. According to Washington Post, Palin hire lobbyist to secure a pork project for the town of Wasila when she was a mayor.
So, why is she lying? Jake i expect you to call her out on the lies.

FYI just another Palin miss truth, yes she did place the plane on E-Bay she just forgot to mention they didn’t sell it on E-Bay, it was sold by a private company and sold at a loss, to an annonymous buyer, probably an oil ex Palin knew.

all obama knows to say is uh ahh uh uh uh ahh………………….

McCain/Palin will win! That train is coming down the tracks. You can see it now. Obama will be getting off at Chicago Station with the lady who thinks we are a mean country.

if an inexperienced obama ready to be president in Day 1, Palin is much more ready to be president in Day 2. For the Obama people claim Palin is bad parent because she didn’t put her “family first”. Well, if every single mom put their family first, no sons or daughters will enlisted in the military. It’s more noble for the parents to put “country first”. “without a country, there’s no home”.

Why is Palin so afraid of doing interviews on all 4 major media outlets?
We all know Fox News sole objective is to help Republicans win at all costs. I’m sure Palin will eventually go on there.
Clearly she is afraid to be asked questions about her support for pork. I heard there will be several ads rolled out in October showing Palin campaigning her support for this pork and even calling out McCain for opposing her.

EMILY’s List was perhaps the first to sing out about an opportunity rather than a threat from Palin, pointing to a poll it had done a couple of days after McCain selected the Alaskan moose huntress.
The survey of 800 women likely voters said Obama holds an 11-point lead on McCain, and that women Hillary voters in particular flooded the Illinois senator’s way.
Before the Palin pick, Obama led McCain by 44 points among female Clinton backers. That jumped to a 54-point lead afterward, 75% to 21%, the poll said.

But Willem Christie so had her heart set on the ivory back scrtacher.

“Pork Wars” ?
I thought the article was gonna be about Micheal Moore and Rosie O’Donald fighting over the last sauage at breakfast.

Clinton got lucky enough to be in the White House when the dotcom boom hit and raised the entire economic sea. A Republican congress kept his lefty inclinations in check. Too bad they couldn’t keep his other “inclinations” in check. Bush inherited the dotcom crash, and helped turn the economy around with tax cuts, along with Fed cuts. Sure, cheap money had its own troubles, and now there are lots of people whining that the evil mortgage brokers came to their rented door with buckets of seemingly free money and evilly enticed them into buying mcmansions. A free market conservative knows that when a deal just sounds too good to pass up, caveat emptor.
If you had property, or money invested in 2000, you made a pile of dough. It might have been an even bigger pile a couple of years ago, but most people I know, even the rabid leftys bemoaning the “worst economy ever” have more money, better jobs, and more secure futures than they did in 2000.

Women want Obama..then why did he lose WVA KY OHIO PA and Fl, MI.

“GO, PUMA!”

I just got done looking at The Obama campaign website and after looking at his laundry list under issues “Are YOU CRAZY”. Who is gonna pay for all this crap he wants to do, the tooth fairy? Santa? This guy brings change alright, RADICAL CHANGE. He will single handedly force business to head over sea, ruin Health Care, and create worthless government jobs and social programs that we can’t afford. We already can’t afford the ones we got now. He wants to end world poverty at taxpayer expense buy funding it with 150 billion dollars. The list goes on and on. He would be a reckless commander in chief that Putin and our other enemies would certainly exploit. Wonder who they would vote for? He thinks he’s running for the World presidency. Are we world citizen’s now, and not Americans? Why was he giving speeches to rallies in Germany? America can’t afford Obama people so get real. We don’t need POLAR CHANGE we need the kinda change the Palin will bring to Washington. We need to clean up the do nothing’s and corrupted politician’s and get rid of the log jam, and have the government start working for the people. They need to start addressing the real issues like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and the national debt and our federal reserve system. The constitution does not provide the government to be the answer for everything. We need to follow it and quit screwing around with EVERYTHING. Palin will see what’s going on and begin addressing the waste, corruption, and management of the people’s money. You Obamacons need to reevaluate your candidate because it is a dark path he is leading you.

“Just wait until President McCain puts a stop to that.”
************************************8
LOL My daddy is bigger than your daddy!
No wonder why they have her hiding.

That’s right Sarah you tell em…
Don’t back down…
Get out there, lean in a bit more…
Stick your chin out…
And get ready baby

Zogby/reuters is in the RCP, it just updates based on most recent polls.
By the way, zogby has been the most accurate poll the last 3 elections for president.
McCain is up about 4% according to zogby in the most recent. This is terrible news for obama.

If the question is who is worse, not who is better, Obama is definitely worse. Somebody should also link his earmarks to his wife’s salary jump.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows Barack Obama attracting 46% of the vote while McCain earns 45%. When “leaners” are included, it’s Obama 49%, McCain 46%
Lets post it in its full context shall we…

The most wasteful spending was by Obama when he requested state earmarks for Trinity Church and then the Church turns around to build a new very expensive mansion for that hate- mongering racist Rev. Wright.
He also requested funds for other like churches.

The porker of all porkers and proud of it—-HILLIARY GIRL. NEW YORK IS SWIMMING IN FAT.

Silly Sarah! Hiding behind McCains Skirt.

Let’s really add this in, shall we? Obama was up at 50, now he’s where? McCain’s taking away his lead. Obama should be way ahead. Looking good for John.

Is there going to be a comming out party for Sarah?

Ryan C: “Guffaw!”
You disappoint me. I thought you were going to accuse me of playing the race card.

Thinking, I think it’s better that Palin hide behind a real man mccain than obama hiding behind in his wife’s skirt!!

“I believe Biden is going on to Meet the press next week”
He will be on tomorrow. He and Obama were on 60 minutes last week.
“and he was nominated a week before palin.”
And since then he’s had dozens of interviuews with cable networks.
“Don’t even get into dodging interview. your Messiah is the one in questions.”
Obama just held a presser after finishing his taped interview with O’Reilly.
“He dodged Hillary’s debates,”
They had 22 debates.
“mccain’s debates”
McCain wanted townhalls. One his schedule at a time when he was getting no media attention and had little money for paid advertising.
“and took him months to get on Fox’s news, even after he clinched the nomination for months.”
Obama was on FoxNews sunday show in April.
That’s quite a few lies packed into a single paragraph hannah

Oh! Oh! Look at that it is Sunday already and no Sarah’ 9 days.
Peek A Boo! Where is Sarah?

When she comes out of hiding
she will be exactly what many
have suspected – Dan Quayle
in a dress.

“I think it’s better that Palin hide behind a real man mccain”
LOL He can’t count his wife’s houses. He doesn’t even know which one of his wife’s house he lives in.

He can’t count his wife’s houses. He doesn’t even know which one of his wife’s house he lives in.”
They also failed to pay property tax on one of those properties for 4 years.

Ryan, don’t talk when you don’t know what you’re talking about. It took Fox news put a countdown clock on for 772 days, 772 DAYS!! to get obama on. And it took another countdown of nearly 2 months for obama to get on oreilly. Hillary wants debate obama around puerto rico but obama refused because he has to go connect with other americans. Mccain challenged obama on townhalls (by the way, don’t tell me you never hear obama says “that’s something I want to debate with Mccain”) and he want to debate on July 4th. Why July 4th???
Don’t be so anxious with Palin coming out. She bites your Messiah in pieces.

Jeff pearson, you wrote: “What ever happened to statutory rape?”
If you are referring to Gov. Palin’s daughter’s (Bristol’s) boyfriend, you should do your homework before you make such a reckless claim. Bristol is 17 and will soon be 18. The age of consent in Alaska is 16.
Rarely do the VP selections determine the outcome of the general election. However, the upcoming debate between Sen. Biden and Gov. Palin on October 2nd could be a turning point in this election if the two presidential debates are perceived to be a draw. And the odds might just actually be in Gov. Palin’s favor because she really doesn’t need to win the debate. If Sen. Biden is perceived to be the winner, but it is nowhere near a knock out win, this debate may end up being effectively a wash with little or no effect. That’s because Sen. Biden will be expected to win. Yet if the debate is perceived to be a draw, then Gov. Palin will gain stature with the experienced Sen. Biden. And if the American electorate perceives her on a par with Sen. Biden, then the odds of McCain-Palin winning the election will increase. If on the other hand, should either Sen. Biden or Gov. Palin land a huge knock out blow, then the election might well be over.
Having said that, should either Sen. Obama or Sen. McCain lands two knockout blows in their two debates, then the VP debate won’t make a bit of difference no matter the outcome.

“It took Fox news put a countdown clock on for 772 days, 772 DAYS”
FoxNews was the 1st to put the muslim lies out to the greater public.
He went on in April. Just as I said.
You said it was after the nomination was wrapped up, that was not true.
“Hillary wants debate obama around puerto rico but obama refused because he has to go connect with other americans.”
Obama refused because the election was oover.
Huckabee wanted to debate McCain when they were the only two candidates left. Huckabee thought it would be good for the country to have a healthy respectful debate about Republican values. McCain refused
“Mccain challenged obama on townhalls (by the way, don’t tell me you never hear obama says “that’s something I want to debate with Mccain”) ”
Obama offered a July 4th debate, McCain refused.
“and he want to debate on July 4th. Why July 4th”
Why not? What better day to debate avbout the country’s future than to debate on its birthday. McCain refused.
Obama went to Saddleback even though that was McCain turf. Think McCain would dare debate Obama in front of union members?
The campaigns only agree to 3 and a VP debate (basically the same schedule we’ve seen for 3 or 4 election)
Less outright lies this time Hannah

Dema,
Now where did I hear of S&L failures before….was it Chrles Keating perhaps.

Ryan, yes, he appeared Fox news in April, hmm…but when did he starts running for President??? What interviews didn’t mccain go to?? Why don’t you send a request to see mccain would debate in front of union members. my guess is he’s not a wimp. As for Hillary’s debate, quote me where he said the election was over?? dare him to say that the election was over when he didn’t get the numbers he needed to win, in fact, he never get the number he needed to win without the bigwigs’ SuperD, where one of their vote = to 100,000 ordinary votes. Call that a democracy.
You should spend more time trying to figure out ways to blame someone when your Messiah did bad in debates. With Hillary, you blame ABC unfair, with Saddleback, you blame mccain cheated. Come on, tell the Messiah to be a man and stop whining. Whining is not going to help talking with Putin.
My case is rest with what a wimp obama is. I just hope he’ll be more of a man if he’s president.

Willem,
Its ridiculous isn’t it.
Obama boycotts FoxNews because they uncritically aired outrageous lies about him.
Even then he eventually goes on FoxNoew, even doing O’Reilly.
Palin refuses to speak to any media because some left wing blogs and a conspiracy theory said means things baout her daughter. And the campaign sneers as if answering questions were beneath her.
That last one is funny because the National Eqnuirer is claiming they told the McCain campaign they were going public. So the addressing of tleft wing blog rumors appears to be yet another lie.

I doubt her facts, as she is just reading off of the McDummy campaign’s script!
“She did not go into the hundreds of millions of dollars in earmarks she has sought as governor and as mayor of Wasilla, Alaska,” nor the fact in 2001 and 2002, McCain — a legit pork-buster — cited three of the pork projects she sought as “objectionable.”
Why no Press availabilities for your new “cheerleader” McCain? Afraid of what she will say? A week or two more of tutoring her still won’t prepare her for the Presidency, in case you die in your first term….
This doesn’t look good McCain, Hell I could get my wife up there to read off a script like she is doing. Can she be your VP???
YUKON BARBIE – Empty dress!!!

From the same article:
And last year she fired her top legislative aide, John Bitney, after he confessed to an affair with the wife of a friend of Todd’s.
“When you fall out of favor with Palin, it’s a pretty quick off-with-your-head,” said Persily, the former aide. Bitney went to school with Sarah Palin and worked in her gubernatorial campaign before following her to the governor’s office. He now serves as chief of staff to the speaker of the state House. He said he blames himself for surprising his former boss.

Obama said, quote:
“that is not change, come on. I mean,
WORDS MEAN SOMETHING. You can’t just make stuff up. YOU CAN’T JUST MAKE STUFF UP.”
Unbelievable coming from him.

Looks like the Dems are going to go after the flag thieves.
Jingoistic fascists like concerned are very sad their fake patriotism story went away so fast.
I mena of course the right wing blogs and concenred will repeat it but it was so much easier when they believed it was true. Now, they have to knwoingly spread a lie.

Davis:
Keep it up, Laughing Boy.
Sarah is going to go up against the human gaffe machine, Foot-In-Mouth Biden. Then, we’ll talk.
I can’t wait.
How many times has Biden run for President? Has he ever even gotten double digits in the primaries? Or is he the second biggest loser in Presidential Politics, after Teddy K?
Sure. Neither one is running for President. But this is going to be the most watched VP debate in history, and Biden, I bet a dollar to a doughnut, is going to come out badly hurt.

“Words mean something” Dangerous, coming from the guy who tried to pass off Wright’s hate speech as “meaningless”

Read the writings of Jeremiah Wright, and of Black Liberation Theology. Then read the writings of Elijah Muhammad. Wright and Farrakhan are two sides of the same coin. The only differences are semantic.
Read the Koran and understand what we face. Learn from the source, not the Daily Kos.

Well if FOX says it’s true, then it must be so! I believe they were the same mental giants who first said that Palin had foreign policy experience because Alaska is next to Russia?

Wow, the Obamabots really have their panties in a bunch tonight. LOL!!

McCain is too quick to jump on top of problems without properly analyzing the situation. He was wrong on Iraq when he said they had no weapons of mass destruction and when he said it would take less than 100,000 troops to win. And he was certainly wrong when he said it would pay for itself.
McCain was wrong with Georgia and Russia when he wanted us to get into a military cnflict with them when what was necessary was a little diplomacy. Diplomacy France provided for goodness sakes.
McCain was wrong on Palin. She will not be ready to take over on day 1, which is the only requirement of a Vice President. She has no command military experience like he said. She is the antithesis of him. She’s pork hungry, religious fanatic who believes the best way to negotiate with lawmakers is to veto everything until she gets her way. Maybe that works in Alaska, but in Congress, they will happily sit around and pass bills all day long every day that the President will have to veto… only they won’t look like idiots, he will.
Being President is all about diplomacy and negotiation. Will foreign powers, with Congress and with the American people. The McCain camp has shown they simply don’t have what it takes to lead.

Palin’s own family clan is coming out to trash her…wow…can’t wait…
HA HA HA HA HA…
Meanwhile she parades around like an airhead celebrity…
When does she team up with Paris?
HA HA HA HA HA

Palin needs to be coached and the neo-cons are afraid to let her answer questions from the press.

JRinLA: “tell me which millions-strong group is acting them out, and killing thousands across the world in the name of the bible.”
According to Bush (and Palin): The US. In Iraq. God told them so.

Sunday Morning Talk Shows
Guests to appear:
Obama
Biden
McCain
Wheres Sarah? Is she too busy?

“Palin needs to be coached and the neo-cons are afraid to let her answer questions from the press.”
Why do they need to ask her questions, since they have all the answers, whether they are real or made up.

“Palin needs to be coached and the neo-cons are afraid to let her answer questions from the press.”
And Barry needs a teleprompter and 300 advisers. One of those advisers is George Clooney.

Gee Jake
Wouldn’t this be the time to mention the pork that Obama got to send to his wife’s employer and to the guy in the IL Senate that gave Obama all that legislation to help him build a resume?
Are you one of the 68% of the media?

Well Mack, maybe we’d like to hear what her opinions on the ISSUES are in her own words, since we are being asked to consider her as a potential VP, you know, a heartbeat away and all that. All we’ve heard from her so far is speech written by a former Bush speech writer, and I must say, she certainly is a gifted actress.

Gee Jackie, would this be a good time to mention McCain’s EADS tanker deal?

Gee did I miss something or did Obama request more earmarks in 3 years than the governor of Alaska?
He is probably having a tough time feeding the Chicago graft machine.

Jackie: “Gee did I miss something”
Only a couple of braincells but that’s not your fault.
Tell me, why does McCain hate Israel so bad that he wants to cut the earmarked funds for Israel?

“Because their “great Americans” and thats what “great Americans” they hate other people.”
And why does Barry’s mentor hate white people?

“Gov. Palin hasn’t a leg to stand on when it comes to earmarks. Just this year she sent to Sen. Ted. Stevens a proposal for 31 earmarks totaling $197 million.
More, per capita, than *any other state*.”
And what did Barry’s earmarks total?

Mack: you don’t know?
You’re telling me that you are making accusations based on nothing?

Sarah Palin
The bridge to nowhere
“I told congress thanks but no thanks”
No, congress said no and you said oh well.
And Sarahs relationship with Ted Stevens? Stay tuned…

Davis, you do HA HA Ha very well. step up your game.

==========================================
I smash “cockroaches” where ever they are Sluggo…
Let’s talk about mcBush and McPalin… Tell me what you like about him or her, instead of just telling your usual lies about Obama!

Give me a break Palin. He represents the fifth most populous state whereas she represents the forty-seventh. Of course his state will be asking for more money. I am so sick of republicans making up the ‘truth’ as they go along and disappointed that so many American’s still don’t get it. Obama is no angel, but McCain/Palin’s lies are downright scary. This is the same path that Bush took into office. Lies, double standards, and slander. McCain, a man I once respected, has thrown away everything that once made him respectable. He has no integrity and is more interested in winning this campaign than being honest with the American people. If you think I want to be lied to, guess again. The only person McCain is interested in is himself. And to quote John McCain:
‘I didn’t decide to run for president to start a national crusade for the political reforms I believed in or to run a campaign as if it were some grand act of patriotism. In truth, I wanted to be president because it had become my ambition to be president.’ ~ From ‘Worth the Fighting For’ by J. McCain.

John mcCain is a joke!
Sara Pliar is full off it!
I want change not more lies!

Sluggo,
Change from the BS we have now Change from a tax system that favours the poor Change from dumb wars that are costing my kid future!
Change from all the lies told by our leader!
Change from a screwed up health system!
Change from what we have now one big mess!
Change from people as dumb as you making decisions for us all!

Pumas,
If Palin is elected as VP this time,
She will be a GOP Presidential Nomenee in 2012, Do you think hillary can beat her then?
After 4 years of VP experience and popularity, Palin will beat hillary handily.
Maybe you want to cut your hands at that time.
Be smart.

Euro.guy
We know the whole world hates us.
I went to europe and australia recently in australia they dont blame us for this tupid government more people voted aggainst bush than voted for him!
I voted gore and kerry!
Australia has the right way of voting everyone has to vote the have BBQ’s at the polling places. If when did that here the republicans would only have a few seats!
Euro do you hate all Americans or just the sluggo like jerks ?

IS PALIN READY FOR THE VP JOB???
SHE DOES NOT KNOW MUCH ABOUT IRAQ WAR THE MOST POPULAR AND WORST WAR IN THE WORLD. THIS PROVED THAT SHE DOES NOT KNOW ANY THING ABOUT FOREIGN POLICY.
I THINK McCAIN SHOULD TELL THE RPUBLICANS WHY SHE WAS CHOSEN AS HIS RUNNING MATE. WHY SHE WAS CHOSEN?????
OBAMA/BIDEN ’08

Wasilla, a town of a little over 7,000, has a $30,000,000 budget! Citizens certainly do not pay all that. It should be called Pork Barrel City.

So, Obama has asked for earmarks that total about $80 per person for the population he represents and Palin has asked for earmarks that total about $300 per person for the population that she represents. But she is against earmarks so we should vote for her. In what world does that make any sense?
Given the tax revenues that the US derives from the state of Alaska and the amount of tax dollars that flow back into the state, Alaska qualifies as the largest welfare recipient in the US. Being the chief executive of such a welfare recipient is experience we can rely on, I’m sure.

Euro.guy,
What has happened to America is the media here has stopped telling folks the truth.

Number of earmarks that McCain has attached to legislation bills…ZERO.
I repeat…ZERO.
The choice by McCain to NEVER attach earmarks is unmatched by ANY other Senator, and is a reflection of unrivaled moral character.

don’t be blamed by 4 more years of cover up and secrecy…
and hiding from scrutiny on bad choices by avoiding and pointing fingers at the press…
throw the bums out…
no more Rovian tactics
no more Cheney tactics
No more manipulating the American people to our own detriment
throw the bums out!

Euro.guy is really a republican trying to swing up the mccain palin vote!
Desperate!

It’s the economy stupid! People are gonna vote their wallets and they will vote Obama/Biden. NOBODY in their right mind would vote for another Republican! Tom Ridge called John McCain, John Bush….and he got that right!
Republicans try to throw people off by not discussing the issues, but it won’t work.
Veteran for Obama/Biden

McCain and certainly Palin welcome all distractions with fervor, as long as they don’t have to focus on the real current issues and consequently put their actual policy proposals on the table.
In a difficult times that make Americans look out for strong government, they still repeat that blasé phrase that “gorvernment gets in the way of the people”… Incredible. The GOP government is nowhere to be seen when things get really tough for Americans…
It’s amazing me that the MSM doesn’t hit the Republicans a whole lot harder on steering away from the issues time and again. We are fighting two wars, many millions of our fellow Americans are in serious economic troubles, our businesses, schools and cultural institutions are in decline… And the masses are cheering an Alaskan governor for reading a text written by a Bush speech writer!?!?
In TIME magazine, Joe Klein hits the nail on its head when he writes:
“Maybe I’m getting old, maybe it’s that I’ve seen this act so often before, maybe it’s that the people I talk to when I go out on the road really are having a harder time paying for things like health care, gasoline and college tuition, but I’m finding the Republican attempts to derail the conversation from the actual state of the country really depressing and disgraceful this year. They practice Orwellian politics of the crudest sort. They are trying to sell a big lie–that the election is about the social issues of the 1960s, or Barack Obama’s patriotism or his eloquence, or the “angry left,” when it’s really about turning toward a more moderate path after the ideological radicalism and malfeasance of the past eight years.”
Americans, please wake up. A 20th century POW story and a nice Alaskan smile have NO relevance whatsoever for what America and the world is demanding from the American Administration in the 21st century.

Obama = more govt. programs and spending
McCain = smaller govt. and less “pork”

How again is she supposed to manage the economy? LOL what a joke!
JIff

Turning to the issues for a minute, the federal government is spending HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS on prescription drugs.
Barack Obama and Joe Biden believe that we use the purchasing power, just like when private companies like McDonald’s order their potatoes, and negotiate the price with the big drug companies.
EVERY OTHER INDUSTRIAL COUNTRY IN THE WORLD SAVES THEIR TAX PAYERS BILLIONS OF DOLLARS BY NEGOTIATING ON THE PRICE OF PRESCRIPTIONS.
Why does John McCain favor wasting the American taxpayer money?
===================================
Here’s another question: Who is the REAL pro-life party? The Democrats!
If you have cancer and go to the local ER without insurance, you will very likely be sent back home without scheduling treatment. Send home to die.
Come back later when you have health insurance!
Biden and Obama think everyone should be able to by the same insurance as provided to members of congress.

The real joke here is Obama claiming that McCain is trying to make this race about personality and not issues. Once Palin is now the new phenom, and Obama is old news he gets angry.
But to make matters worse, we’ve been hearing about Obama for over a year nonstop and most people have no idea what he stands for other than:
1. Socialize everything
2. Raise the corporate tax rate (newsflash barack: it’s the second highest in the world as it is!)
3. Redistribute money from hardworking and successful to lazy and unsuccessful.
In terms of foreign policy, he shifts his position every day so who knows what he stands for.
The only sure thing is Barack Obama wants to usher in Socialism into the US. If you’re a socialist, go ahead and vote for him. If you’re not, avoid him like the plague.

MCCAIN HIMSELF SAID IT IS ABOUT PERSONALITIES—AND PALIN IS THE QUEEN OF PORK—DO THE RESEARCH AND CHECK IT OUT –ALL TRUE—PER CAPITA—-PALIN IS THE WINNER

Rodney,
Get your facts straight. McCain never said it was about personality, someone on his campaign did.
And Sarah Palin needed pork at first bc that is what held up the budget. But she has been cutting it in an unprecedented way and vetoing it. Mind you, her approval rating was over 80% for a reason.
And John McCain has never even once supported pork.
However, barack Obama has gone crazy with pork, about 1mm for every working day. NICE candidate you have there. What a total hypocrite.
Open your eyes. Obama is a fraud – all talk no action.

I see this site is populated by thugs for Obama too. You Obama thugs are all over the web. you make the swift boaters look like choir boys.

Usually Americans are offended when someone lies to them.
The issue is that Palin has taken so much money from DC up to Alaska that it makes ‘fiscal reform’ from the ticket a source of laughter.
She had hired a Jack “I’m off to jail for 4 years” Abramoff protege to do the fund porking.
She ran a 527 soft money fund for Ted “I’m indicted for corruption” Stevens.
McCain cannot back up the rhetoric with facts.
He can only whimsically recall the nostalgia of his yesteryear.
Palin didn’t “take on” the allegedly corrupt Alaskan senator; she allied herself with him throughout her brief political career. That includes, we learned today, Palin’s work on Stevens’ 527 group.
The McCain campaign said Palin opposed the infamous “bridge to nowhere.” That’s false.
The campaign said Palin supported the Bush “surge” policy. That’s false. The campaign said Palin is the “commander in chief” of the Alaska National Guard. That’s misleading.

Polls only matter if Obama is ahead.

mcPain couldn’t run under his own brand, he has to run under Obama’s Change platform. Unfortunately, he is supposedly running from his own party.
A snake in sheep’s clothing is still a snake.
Bush was TOLD binLaden was going to attack. Where were the terror alerts?
Shrub’s watch- feel safer? How about Katrina? Eating cake the both of them while people suffered.

Van Orange, Ryan C. and Prez:
How do you like the polls being even steven for the two presidential candidates? Are you going to whine, or are your claws going to come out? Or, are you going to act like Annie Oakley with a six shooter? Or, does Obama feel the same way he felt about the alienated Hillary supporters, “They’ll get over it!” lolololol I am loving it!

m.tobias:
“The McCain campaign said Palin opposed the infamous “bridge to nowhere.” That’s false. ”
_________________
No it’s not>
Sarah was “for” the bridge before she qas against it!.
Obama flip-flops all the time;\
why shouldn’t she be able to occasionally?
In any case, Obama got the “pork” sifted into his pockets and those of his family and friends.
Palin didn’t get any pork; I guess that’s because she prefers moose!

If we cannot rely on out media to get the facts straight, how can we have a working democracy.
If anyone deserves to be sued for malpractice, it’s our “respected sources” of news.

Could someone pleasssssseeeee tell me why Palin gave Kopp (Monegan’s replacement) a $10,000 severence package after he only lasted 11 days in the position? Was it hush money?
