Sarah Palin Tones it Down a Notch

Forget Sarah Palin….
Obama is a risky, radical character that we still don’t know
What the heck is the media thinking.
It IS important that Obama associates with terrorists and anti Americans.
Please investigate all of this.
Why are we not making an issue about it should be the question.
Are terrorists in controll of the media?

There must be specific orders to prepare for a loss between Palin cooling off and McCain actually defending Obama against his angry hordes.

Independents don’t like division, vitriol and hate. The McCain Campaign is unprecedented in their efforts to impart a wanton display of overt negativity painted with a broad brush stoke applied far too thin. Like McCain, 20th Century idealists embrace the past like a rusty shield. Thank GOD optimism shall always prevail!!!
I am an ever proud Obama/Biden supporter and contibutor. I am happy and hopeful about the future!!! Something that simply does not seem evident across the aisle. What a loss. What a senseless shame.

Sarah Palin is, to be nice, intellectually deficient and she is on the same track as John McCain. She and John are mud-slinging and smearing Barack Obama because they cannot discuss the issues with any intellectual ability. John McCain has already stated if the election is bsed on the economy, then he would lose. And what is the important issue right now – the economic mess that the Republicans have gotten us into. John McCain has stated he has voted with Bush 90% of the time. So what does that mean for you. If McCain is elected, he will continue the failed Bush politics. Barack Obama has remained calm and has not resorted to personal attacks on John McCain on Sarah Palin although in my opinion, he could have ripped them apart. But he didn’t. He has shown he has the honesty, integrity and knowledge to be our President. We need change and McCain will not deliver it. Obama will give us the change we need! PS – I am a white woman, over 60, from a small town in Indiana.

Palin is being used by GOP. Palin should be more worried about her political future.
You know what they do to pitbulls that lose a fight?
They get put down.
After Obama wins the election, Palin and McCain will take the blunt of the blame while GOP insiders will turn them in to scapegoats for losing the election.
Palin will be blamed for her harsh rhetoric when it was GOP insiders who wrote those harsh rhetoric.
I know we don’t like earmarks, but maybe we can get some money to build a shelter for pitbulls that get used and abused. If we can do this for Michael Vicks dogs, we can do this for poor Sarah Palin.

“Barack Obama is a radical charachter we still don’t know.”
That is the most ignorant bit of misinformation allowed to be spread online.
Barack Obama is a United States Senator, he has been a POlitician for years. Stop making it seem like he is some wacho radical who just emerged onto the scene.
Show some respect, he is US Senator and has no ties to terrorists. You people should be ashamed, but then again, its your education that lets you think this way.
Back to college perhaps?
I guess now that GOP is turning their back on McCain, the Republicans are getting scared.

Who is paying attention to this dummy, she can not even run ALASKA with out abusing power. WE know what she is about. NO McCAIN….

This economic mess that the repubicans have gotten us into? Where are you getting your news and information? Have you watched any of the congressional hearings on the Lehman bankruptcy either? for anybody that wants to pay attention, the roots of this problem go back to liberal policies that accused banks of racism whenever they wouldn’t lend to low-income consumers. Then when Fannie and Freddie got out of hand, the people in charge (liberal congress) didn’t head the warnings and do anything about it. These are the same people that will be making policy if Obama is elected. I am amazed how people think Obama is better for the economy. this link is an article warning about this in 1999 – before Bush was even in office.

Rezko has been talking for awhile. He’s said he has nothing to offer on Obama but has offered plenty on various politicians. So by association Obama is guilty because he’s a politician and Rezko has stuff on politicians.
And cmon, Obama wasn’t 8 years old this time.
McCain spent the last week looking for his integrity. Let’s hope the party faithful can find theirs.

As McCain’s campaign falls apart and becomes more and more evident that Obama will win, you will see more and more GOP members jumping ship from McCain.
GOP knows McCain doesn’t have many years left and Palin is expendable. She can always go back to Alaska and never have to deal with her again.
So as more and more republican pundits question McCain’s campaign and Palins choice as VP, you will see them losing support as we get closer to election day.
I just feel sorry for McCain and Palin.
I don’t think they ever knew what they were going up against, the environment is not suited for anyone with a ‘R’ infront of their name.

The McCain-Palin group is finally learning that when you whip your 33% of the electorate into a frenzy, there will be consequences.

Palin baby – get back in bed and make some more babies with your husband. Then you can spend the rest of your life being a soccer Mom which, apparently, is what you do best.

McCain and Palin have shown that they are fear brokers. Fear of talking about issues,fear of the opponent–so let’s fight dirty, fear that their platform can not stand the test. I favor many of the platform issues, unfortunately the representatives of the platform “scare me.” I realize we as a people practice horrible tactics during campaigns, but that does not make it right. We as a people need to return to the Biblical principles that this country was founded upon. We may not practice them perfectly, but at least we tried to practice them. “Stay with the ONE that brought you—God–Jesus. Let’s stop making new rules and rely on Biblical principles that have stood the test of time. Let America Bless God with obedience and God will Bless America.

Obama supporter Paul Krugman won the Nobel Prize in Economics this morning. But what does he know? Let’s listen to Sarah and Todd on the economy. Good grief.

divide and conquer is karl “the toad” rove`s M O (Not going to work this time toad)
McCain`t is a fossil and Palin is a very bad joke played on the good people of America

It’s about time she shut her big, ignorant mouth.
Show me anyone who buys into her rhetoric and I’ll show you someone I can sell anything to.

She keeps saying, “We know who the bad guys are”… These are words from a deeply deceived mind, out of touch with reality, trapped behind fears, trying desperately to get us to be afraid of trusting Obama. What a sad wretched state these so-called evangelicals have reached, a new desperate low point of foolishness and deceit. But at least, THANK GOD, McCain realized he was at the head of an evil mob and started to change the tone. This clearly signals his loss, a house divided against itself, but at least he won’t drive the country into civil war… hopefully. But that remains to be seen how this will play out in the end. THANK GOD Bush is not running, as we all know he would never have backed away like McCain just did.
Who are the bad guys, Sarah? Clearly you put Obama in with that group. McCain at least has moved away from YOUR “bad” spirit of fear and hatred.
Repent, Sarah! Your pride and arrogance will be your undoing if you don’t.

@stephen50: this is a blog, not a news story….
Not that I care, but yes, Palin is being used by the GOP and she obviously does whatever she’s told to do — like a well trained lap dog. I think people should pay more attention to the fact that it is more than 50% likely (due to McCain’s family medical history) that she will become president sometime during the next four years if McCain is elected. Think about how bad Bush has been and multiply by ten.

Offal said, “It’s about time she shut her big, ignorant mouth.

IF NO ONE WAS BUYING HER RHETORIC, THEN THERE WOULD BE NO NEED FOR YOU TO POST ON THE BLOG.

if palin is merely questioning i would agree with her. but she has engaged in far more than that. inciting an audience to the level of danger to others and accepting with silence audience comments that are ethnically loaded along with comments loaded with personal threats is inexcusable and borders on a george wallace nature. i am afraid that her “toning down” has come too late for this voter and i personally do not believe or trust her. choosing her was an error in judgement on john mccains part. roger

I stand by what I said… BY DEFINITION, Sarah Palin is the REAL TERRORIST… Using FEAR and instilling TERROR on people to get what she wants.
If that’s not Terrorism, I don’t know WHAT IS.

The inflammatory lies and rhetoric of the gop are incendiary. If violence is the result, it will be the fault of McCain, Palin and the gop. THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING.

elennon1 said, “Braking news Palin has abused her powers as governor, you wont hear that on Faux news”
I SURE DID SEE IT THERE. THEY SAID SHE WAS IN HER RIGHT AS GOVERNOR TO FIRE WHO SHE WANTED AND THAT SHE IS VIOLATION OF ALASKA ETHICS FOR ALLOWING HER HUSBAN TO PRESSURE GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES.
MR PALIN GAVE TESTIMONY THAT THE GOV TOLD HIM TO CEASE. SO THE RPEORT IS INACCURATE. AND SINCE WHEN IS IT A VIOLATION TO NOT DO SOMETHING? SHE DIDNT VIOLATE ANY ETHICS FOR SOMETHING SHE DID, BUT FOR SUPPOSEDLY SOMETHING SHE DID NOT DO; REIGNING IN HER HUSBAND. HOW MANY MALE POLITICIANS COULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR REIGNING IN THEIR WIVES?

Well could it be that the latest news flash on Gov. Palin is that she pressured the firing of her brother-in-law who was a State Policeman in Alaska. Well how corrupt it that? Maybe she will be behind the firing of YOU should the need arise.

I still cant believe how stupid people are?!?! Yeah no big deal a lot of Obamas friends are radical terrorist no biggy! Yeah nobody should bringing up that at all! What a JOKE! He is just running for the President of the United States. Obama doesnt have to bring up bad points about his appoinents the media does a fine job of that already!! Gee who do you think Good Morning America is leaning towards? Obama? No say it isnt so!!! You people are sooooo transparent! Its right up there with treasonous trying to sway an election. One question how do you people sleep at night? You must really be scared in order to be attacking Mcain/Palin EVER chance you get!

Palin might of been in a beauth pagent 20 years ago but she still is using the same beauty queen mentality ie: wink wink!

Palin might of been in a beauty pagent 20 years ago but she still is using the same beauty queen mentality ie: wink wink!

Sarah Palin is a puppet whose ambition far exceeds her intellect.
I’m sure she would be good at making infomercials…maybe she should quit her day job.

“For one thing, we know who the bad guys are, OK?…Those who sympathize and support those terrorists who would seek to destroy all that it is that we value, those are the bad guys, ok?”
Agreed. So which “bad guys” did this?
http://michaelfury.wordpress.com/2008/08/18/movers-and-shakers/
or this?
http://michaelfury.wordpress.com/2008/08/20/the-ghost-in-the-machines-the-mystery-of-the-wtc-hard-drive-recoveries/

If tenuous associations are so important to the right wing, why don’t they ever mention the problems on the GOP ticket in that regard?
For starters, Palin’s husbands association with an Alaskan separatist party, in which she videotaped a greeting for their convention which included the words,’Keep up the good work.’ And the pastor of her church (whose prayers she likes to say helped her win the governor’s race) having chased a Kenyan woman out of her town for ‘witchcraft.’
As for McCain one of his earliest endorsements in this current race was from Catholic hater John Hagee. Oh, he denounced him, they say? Well, Obama has denounced Ayers and Wright and yet the right continues to harp, so denunciations don’t get to count, by their own standards. McCain has also been linked to south Florida politicians sympathetic to, and who have attempted to get pardons of, known anti-Castro terrorists who have actually killed people; such as Orlando Bosch, mastermind of the Cubana flight 455 bombing which killed 73 people.
So, if associations, and not policy, matter I think the McCain ticket has some ‘splainin to do.

when in hell has the den liberals ever voted for our freedom look to me like you omama people would just give it the evil doers

With all this talk about Bill Ayers, I was wondering why he was never referred to as a felon or someone who spent time in prison for his acts of terrorism. Was any else curious about this, and then decided to check on some facts about this guy? His story is quite interesting and I urge you to check it out before jumping to any conclusions.

You betcha..wink wink. I can see Rusha from my house! Please…go home Sarah. How anyone could be stupid enough to vote for the McSame-Barbie ticket is beyond me. We are about to send McSame and Palin packing on Nov 4th. Those of us with IQ’s above 100 are going to elect a thoughtful intelligent Leader in Barack Obama. Good bye Republicans and good riddance. Your ideology of stupidity has ruined this country and now we the People are about to take it back.

The fear of SP just permiates this board. She has the unique ability to by-pass the media filters and take the message directly to the voters. Her simplicity of speech is her greatest weapon. Palin speaks plainly and directly so there is no media interpretation necessary. This drives the MSM nuts. They are not able to twist what she says into there liberal spin.

The churlish republican voters on this forum and elsewhere should be ashamed for their reprehensible desires for calamity for the United States if their team fails to win the election. There are millions of us who also find ourselves the target of the deepest hatred from our domestic political opposites who hate democrats far more than they do any foreign enemy. It is evident that the machinations of rove have come to fruition, but in so doing make it quite clear that the recent converts to neoconservative republicanism have been horribly manipulated.

Really? We are back on the whole abortion thing again GOP? I love how that’s the only thing that unread or educated voters care about. In my experience if they can’t put down the Jeff Gordon popcorn tin for 5 mins to read a newspaper at least there’s always that old hat to fall back on, and all of a sudden the bumpkins of American know politics too!
Here’s a though…MAYBE if we actually invested in some ACTUAL sex education in this country we’d see less abortions…hmm…preventive actions like sex ed have actually be proven to lower the sexual activity of teenagers and that kids will actual be safe when that make that choice lowering pregnancy rates as well as STD’s
This isn’t the 40′s Abstinence only education DOES NOT WORK. Our government has spent millions on this garbage and we have the highest underage pregnancy of any industrialized nation! So guess what happens next in the story…
Well if your a single mom who had a baby young you know the struggles.
It’s easy for people to take away someone elses rights when they have never been or never will be in that situation.
Man I really HATE that people still talk about this like there’s anything to discuss. Abstinence only education…what a joke. People need to worry about educated people on how to prevent a need for abortion in general.

In 6 months people will have a hard time even remembering who Sarah Palin was. And this is as it should be.

You guys, if only you can take out the negativity off the platfoams as you get down to Nov 4th. Africa is watching and not learning anything from such personal attacks like “when I become president I will never consult a politician from Chicago”. Realy you are just behving like Zimbabwe’s Mugabe, Kenya’s Odinga, Zambia’ Sata or SA’s Mbeki or Zuma. Please lead the way properly so Africca can learn. We watching you closely and when it happens in Africa, Lower your heads. All the best.

winston said, I’m sorry but Palin is NOT a good Hockey mom. I have LOTS and LOTS of questions about teh Palin’s parenting, I responsibly decided to limit my family to two children many years ago, because I know HOW IMPORTANT is to raise your children right. I wouldn’t ask a parent of five to help me out planning a birthday party, much less governing a state or leading a nation.
So you are the authority on parenting. Are parenting skills a prerequisite for leading? Does anyone know what kind of parent Churchill was? Patton? JFK spent many hours away from his kids while with other women and he was a pretty decent leader.
People with more than two kids are going to love your argument that they are a liability and not an asset. You heard it right here folks, it you have more than two kids you must vote McCain/Palin because they will not put limits on the number of children you can have.

Come to your senses America, we can’t elect a man that says our troops raid villages and kill innocent people. He could never be a real Commander in Cheif.
—SNIP—–
Yes we can!!! Do you know why? Because just over the weekend we killed a bunch more civilians. Nows the time to stop pretending and get real. So we can really defeat the terrorist and stop bombing civilians!!

USAF officer You can get in trouble for not doing something and YOU as a USAF officer should know that . and there are many civilian laws that you can be charged with not doing something about a crime you know is taking place and if you think for one min. she had no idea what her husband was doing or that she told him to do you are worse off then I think you are .

When Brooks, conservative columnist for the NYT and PBS calls Palin a cancer to the GOP and totally unprepared. When Wm F Buckley III bolts the Repubs to support Obama. When Palin whips her audience to a frenzy and then backs off when the party suddenly realizes that they are getting into really dangerous waters ….. you know that the GOP is disintegrating one brick at a time. McCain can survive a defeat but Palin will not.

Val…it’s the McCain camp who is scared, using those silly attacks, with McCain hiding behind Palin’s skirt, letting her do the dirty (I like what someone in this blog said about putting losing pitbulls down)…that’s why they decided to tone it down, it was working against them. Now he wants to talk issues. I wonder what policy decision he’ll invent on the fly, like he did in the second debate. I’m interested to see what this week’s tactic will be. Whatever it is I’m sure it’ll be a loser also. His campaign is so all over the place, is this the man you want to be president?
To the good folks of Ohio…when are you going to realize that the more you vote republican the more you are screwing yourselves. You shot yourselves in one foot with Bush–look at the loss of jobs under Bush, don’t shoot the other foot with McCain.

Dennis said, “USAF Officer if you say so but as to your basketball comment they still refer to Bill Bradley as former basketball player and and if you have never heard someone referred to as former beauty queen you don’t pay attn. same with former POW, former pilot , etc.”

ARE YOU KIDDING ME. THE MAIN THING PEOPLE HAVE AGAINST PALIN IS HER LACK OF EXPERIENCE. WHAT DO YOU THINK THIS CAMPAIGN ON THE NATIONAL LEVEL IS GIVING HER. EVEN IF SHE DOESNT WIN THIS TIME SHE WILL HAVE STARTED TO FILL IN THE ONE HOLE IN HER RESUME. AFTER FOUR MORE YEARS OF GAINING EVEN MORE NATIONAL ATTENTION (WHICH WILL HAPPEN) SHE WILL BE VERY SEASONED BY 2012.

this just in
Barby palin just signed a deal with the faux news network to run the hate and propaganda dept.

Once again, the Repub supporters are giving double standards. They keep pointing out Ayers, Wright, and other people in regards to Obama. What Keating to McCain? All those so-call lobbiests are on or used to be on McCain’s campaign staff? What about Palin’s connection to that radical party in Alaska that wants Alaska to succede from the country and she happens to be marry to one?
Please! You jokers are calling the kettle black with these stupid attempts to spread smear and fear on Obama, when it’s clear your candidates are the real radicals that pose a threat to America! Who wants a VP who supports a party that wants a state to break away from the USA? Who wants a Prez with direct connections to lobbiests who represented greedy businesses? No one, espeically if people truly want a change from the past 8 years of greed and cowboy diplomacy. Palin and McCain are representing the ‘same old, same old’.

USAF Officer: Dear sir/ma’am, please turn off your caps. It is considered shouting. Did you just learn to blog? Shouting at us isn’t going to make your points any stronger, if anything it just shows your “newbee” status. We get you like Palin…vote for her and watch FOX and feel all warm and cozy. Whatever makes you happy.

Meet John McCain radical right-wing pals
Gordon Liddy served four and a half years in prison in connection with his conviction for his role in the Watergate break-in and the break-in at the office of the psychiatrist of Daniel Ellsberg, the military analyst who leaked the Pentagon Papers. Liddy has acknowledged preparing to kill someone during the Ellsberg break-in “if necessary”; plotting to murder journalist Jack Anderson; plotting with a “gangland figure” to murder Howard Hunt to stop him from cooperating with investigators; plotting to firebomb the Brookings Institution; and plotting to kidnap “leftist guerillas” at the 1972 Republican National Convention
Liddy has donated $5,000 to McCain’s campaigns since 1998, including $1,000 in February 2008. In addition, McCain has appeared on Liddy’s radio show
during the presidential campaign, including as recently as May. An online video labeled “John McCain On The G. Gordon Liddy Show 11/8/07″ includes a
discussion between Liddy and McCain, whom Liddy described as an “old friend.” During the segment, McCain praised Liddy’s “adherence to the principles
and philosophies that keep our nation great,” said he was “proud” of Liddy, and said that “it’s always a pleasure for me to come on your program.

I’m too lazy to read all the posts, so I apologize if this has been mentioned already.
Of course the media is biased…I’m sure they’re sick of reporting the same things we’re sick of hearing. I mean, if I were a news anchor, I wouldn’t want to keep reporting on how the economy sucks and people are losing everything they own. I’d want to report positive things that make people appreciate this country more. So if the media seems to lean toward Obama, they have every right to do so. I would too.
Although, Fox News still is pretty funny.
(Side note: I voted for Bush in 2004, and I’m registered Independent, so I’m not one of them socialist liberals some of you accuse Obama of being.)

For all of you that want to talk about Obama’s so called terrorist links… I guess you guys must be doing really well right now, making a lot of money, portfolios doing well, 401Ks doing well, lots of money to retire; because I am NOT and I want to know how these guys will fix it. Today we have a WAR ON MONEY, unless you guys want to continue starving while continuing to be fed on Bush’s WAR ON TERROR…..be scared, very scared.. and it is not the RELIGIOUS TERRORIST but the FINANCIAL TERRORIST we have to be scared about. Stop thinking about you GUNS and think about your wallets…. stop thinking about unborn kids and think about your own kids and how you will feed them… that is the issue at hand.. if you can be led down the path that McCain and Palin at talking about.. abortion, terrorists liinks etc. then you are absolute dumbkoffs and deserve what the Wall Street Terrorists give you

OH let’s get real!! Sarah was torn apart by the far left media in the first week she appeared. If anyone deserves a chance to get back it is her. And everything she says is the TRUTH. Lets get off the soap box for poor Obama. Let him fight his own battles, he has the gift of gab let him use it. That is about all he has.How can anyone in the country not realize that. Woman in the USA have to quit trying to be men and get with the support behind their woman candidate. Give your masculin head a shake ladies.

REIGNING IN HER HUSBAND. HOW MANY MALE POLITICIANS COULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR REIGNING IN THEIR WIVES?

last time I checked, two wrongs didn’t make a right.
Posted by: GIGI
MY POINT WAS THAT YOU CANNOT REIGN IN ANOTHER PERSON WHO HAS FREE WILL AND DOES NOT WORK FOR YOU. YOU CAN TRY TO PERSUADE A SPOUSE BUT CAN YOU REALLY BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR WHAT YOUR SPOUSE DOES? IF SO, THEN MONICA LEWISNKY IS HILLARY’S FAULT.

It sure took the republicans long enough to get to the abortion BS. Wake up people the republicans have been using this abortion card for years. Fact: the republicans were in power
of the White House, Senate and Congress for 7 years did you see the abortion law or any law change? Put the abortion law on the ballot and let the people decide.
Worry about the big issues and leave the personal issues off the table.

Many independents have grown upset with Sarah seeing her as vapid and superficial. Worse, eevn though Sarah has paraded herself as “cleared” of ALL ethics charges in “Troopergate,” teh reality is that she was NOT fully cleared. She has spun the report; she is a liar just like so many of them. I saw McCain as my only viable choice aside from perhaps a losing Libertarian candidate. With Palin on board,I will end up voting Libertarian after all. I refsue to join thed herd of sheep on either side when both parties have put up poor candidates.

I’m a registered independent, and until last night, was undecided. After reading the depositions from Alaska, troopergate, I,m apalled by Senator Macains choice of VP! This woman allowed,and encouraged, her husband to make policy for alaskan’s citizens. Spending thier first 2 yrs. in the governors office, incompentently, harassing a state trooper. After repeatedly being warned that they were breaking the LAWS of this state. THEY fired the bearer of bad news, a respected law officer.Are we ready for VP Todd Palin, or GOD forbid President Todd Palin. My respect for Sen. Macain, and his service to the U.S.A. is tremendous. I’m voting Obama/Biden.

Sorry Timus, my last post should have been addressed to Mike in NYC:
Obviously you only listen to the sound bites that the republican sycophants play regarding “a man that says our troops raid villages and kill innocent people.”
If you bothered to read or hear the full statement you’d know that Obama was calling for a cohesive military policy so that we wouldn’t helter skelter raid villages and kill innocent people. Obama has got it right, and I would suggest that you get the facts, not the factoids. It seems though that too many McCain supporters, like McCain himself, are not interested in facts.

“This economic mess that the repubicans have gotten us into? Where are you getting your news and information? Have you watched any of the congressional hearings on the Lehman bankruptcy either? for anybody that wants to pay attention, the roots of this problem go back to liberal policies that accused banks of racism whenever they wouldn’t lend to low-income consumers.”
You don’t have any empirical data to back up that assertion. The fact is, Reaganomics, and a close to religious following of that doctrine by republicans, is responsible here. You need to stop reading little 2 page articles and then thinking you actually know something.
CRA loans have a lower default rate than conventional loans. If you actually knew any of the people affected by this, you’d understand why. By you don’t, so your knee jerks in reaction.
Three specific pieces of legislation, sponsored by the republicans led by Phil Gramm, who later got his money from one of the very banks which he helped with this legislation, UBS. His wife also worked for Enron. During this time, he sposored the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which removed the protections of the Glass-Steagall Act enacted during the great depression. This was a veto proff bill when it reached Bill Clinton’s desk and he signed it into law.
The second piece of legislation, which was drafted by the financial services industry, which Gramm was working for while the people paid his salary, was slipped into an omnibus spending bill at the eleventh hour, and was passed along with that bill without any serious scrutiny. That bill was the Commodity Futures Modernization Act. The last item that has a major impact here is the relaxation of the Net Capital Rule, which made the Enron fiasco possible. This made much more risky trading possible, with the shareholders taking all the risk. Phil Gramm’s wife was employed by Enron at the time this was done.
Now, let’s look at the mortgage industry. due to low interest rates, and a period of unprecedented economic growth during the Clinton Administration , pretty much everyone who could qualify for a mortgage, already had a house. The only way for those mortgage brokers which were cropping up due to relaxed regulation in congress (the republican mantra was let the markets regulate themselves) was to start lending to people that weren’t on the A list. Independent mortgage brokers had to feed their bank accounts also, and so did anyone working for FNMA and FHLMC. In fact, shareholders (i.e. INVESTORS) always demand ever increasing profits and market share. The only way for any of these people to make any new money was to start lending to less qualified buyers. Blaming the government for this is only pertinent if you take into account the deregulation that allowed these unrestricted laissez-faire transactions to come about to begin with. Deregulation allowed these mortgage brokers to exist at all, since they had no final interest in the transactions they brokered. They were just there to get paid. They had no interest in whether or not these mortgages failed, because they sold them on the open market.
So, we have greedy little slime (Mortgage Brokers) who have no interest at all whether these loans get paid back because none of their money is involved. We have slimy Phil Gramm pushing through legislation which allows financial institutions to set their owns rules. And finally, we have dumbasses like you, who do no homework of their own, and take their talking points from Bill O’Reilly or Rush Limbaugh, or whatever other minister of lies and hate that you subscribe to, and it’s all because you don’t care enough to find out the facts.
That is what republicans are: too lazy to find the facts.

Hey USAF Officer, did anyone ever tell you how rude it is to insult someone in caps? Then again, that’s just another republican tactic.
If you played college football two decades ago and ran for VP, you know as well as anyone you’d be remembered as a college football player. You’re an officer… you deserve to give (and get) respect.

Mr. Obama is a father, a son, a grandson. He was born in Hawaii! Which is part of the USA! His grandmom is a white lady. She loves her grandson just like you love your family. For you people who have a problem of not knowing his background. That’s just your excuse for not wanting to vote for him. But you should hold Ms. Palin to the same standard. She just popped up about a mouth ago. I believe she has come on board with her own baggage. I don’t no anything about her. The only thing I know about her is she is good at public speaking. That doesn’t make her an expert. She should focus on letting us know who she is. (I’m not talking about that hocking mom stuff either). I think abuse of power is a big deal. Isn’t that why our country in this? ABUSE OF POWER!

OMG already the posts by USAF Officer, its quite obvious that the only reason your supporting Palin is that she is a woman. What to any lengths to get a woman in office??? How come were not hearing your take on the fact that they just AFFIRMED that she ABUSED HER POWER in troopergate. I’m sorry “whats that statement” Hell hath no fury like a women scorned… she is exactly that. Please she is a hairs breadth away from becoming president if that McCain who btw if you look into his service record was an officer who got “special treatement” due to his father and grandfather being admirals. He crashed 3 planes before every getting deployed to Vietnam. The people who served with him called him a “hotshot” always pushing the limit … he never would have even been a POW if he flew his mission at the recommeded bombing height of 500-10000 feet. He got shot down at 1000 feet. Get a grip Ms. Female Service Woman. Sry my vote would have went to Hillary, she is a role model…Look at the recent Womans magazine comparision between her and Palin where she beat Palin in every category as a role model. Why don’t you look at the character of the woman and stop looking for lets finally GET a woman into office. Your a joke and a shame to the uniform you wear.

Whatever makes you happy.
Posted by: wirey-one
No newbie. Not shouting. In the military we call it using our command voice. At least I know my vote will cancel yours out, unless you registered 40 times like the rest of the Dems.

I am really happy of the Sarah Palin. the more she talk the better it is for Obama. So go ahead Palin!

Let me correct myself 5000-10000 feet like most other pilots running those same bombing runs…

What credibility does this woman still have to talk to us about anything. She should first expalin to us why she is still in office or running to be in one of the highest offices in the land after being found to have abused her power in office and after a finding of breach of trust.

radical, radical, radical…do you even KNOW what you’re talking about? Radical can be a good thing if it’s railing against this Republican administration that has made our country a laughing stock while regular people are struggling and are sinking fast……a radical change in Washington looks very, very good to me!

I am voting for McCain for just one simple reason – the fact that he has picked a beautiful women for vp, he is telling us he is homosexual, McCain is a true Christian. and a true fighter, he did not surrender in the war against Vietnam, he will not back down war against terror. He is against terrorism, not like Obama who maybe a friend of terror. McCain for 2008, god bless!

Thank God we know Palin, what 6 weeks, she lied repeatedly, can’t speak a sentence of coherent English, was found to have committed an ethics violation while Alaskan Gov., and her husband was a member of a secessionist party that denounced America, and wanted to make Alaska a seperate country. She addressed their convention in 2006. She also cut Special Olympics in Alaska by one half. She also was prayed over by preacher who chased a witch out of a village in Africa, and her preacher teaches end times doctrine, beleives the earth is 6000 year old, and they speak in tongues. McLame is a gambler, cheated on his wife while she was in the hospital, finished in the last couple of students in his class, and rated last by Children’s Defence Fund in Senate on family issues. Now for Obama, state legislator, Senator, Harvard Grad., Pres. Harvard Law Review, Constituitional Lawyer, happily married. Now you know Obama.

Palin needs to explain about her witchcraft and stuff so we understand what is all about if she ever become President. It will be really cool to pin down our enemies with puppets. When are we going to burn the witch? hey soon it’s Halloween. I am going to disguise myself as a pit bull with lipsticks or maybe a pork with lipstick.

joseph:Apparently Obama has some sort of mind
control to make the people go completely crazy
and consider voting for him.
Mind control, crazy? Wrong answer, Its called
charisma and loyal to the ideas. One of the many
things McCain has failed to accomplish in the
years of political service.

Well golly gee, that’s enlightening by degrading
yourself! Another one bites the dust.

Sarah Palin for Vice President? THANKS, BUT NO THANKS! Sarah, go back to Alaska to prepare for your impeachment trial. What was John McCain thinking? Another example of his erratic behavior. Let’s Elect Barack Obama- The Change We Need!

USAF Officer is not even going to warrant another comment from me about her. It is quite evident that she is just a competant as Palin is. Aren’t you ashamed as a woman in general to be being represented by a woman of her incometant character. Jesus… did you see the Katie Couric interviews… as I mentioned before did you see she was just proven to have ABUSED HER POWER. And you want someone with those type of morals in the White House and possibly being president as lets face it McCain would be the oldest president ever elected. And even if he did have decent policies not the nothing concrete plans that we havent heard anything about, a president needs 8 years to fully realize the changes and visions he has to fully implement them. Do you want an 80 yr old president….Highly doubtful he’d even live that long. Are you that blinded by your “we need a woman in the White House” to continue this ridiculous rhetoric and continuing to defend Palin. Take a step back and get some dignity for God’s sake. And this is who is represting us in our military…omg are we in trouble. Hopefully your officer status is junior.

USAF Officer :
Thanks for stating the obvious. I think Bob was making fun of you. His point would be where were you before Sarah made the scene? Even Democrats love their mothers.

Polls clearly indicate the attack tact isn’t working. Since the latest attack tack started McCain and Palin drop in their positives, rise in their negatives and lose ground on people who will vote for them. At the same time Obama RISES in positives DROPS in negatives and GAINS ground on people will vote for him. They aren’t toning it down out of decency and in favor of battling ideas; they are toning it down out of necessity. The attacks not only aren’t working, they are hurting McCain/Palin.

Rezko,Ayres,Kenya….ditto,ditto,ditto. Call your buddy Limbaugh and ditto him.

Well, well, looks like Obama will win in a landslide election. Elections will always get nasty and Republicans always live up to their reputation to hitting below the belt, hard. Palin is photogenic, and since the far-right is so repressed, they have turned her into a fantasy. Because of this, she is turned into an idol of sorts. Anything that she says therefore has merit, no matter how discriminatory or far-fetched. Another person in history inflamed people to violence, using racism and discrimination to advantage: Hitler. He preached to white, “christian” folk about the “dangers” of minorities and Jews and anyone else not like them. Blaming everyone else for their state of affairs instead of taking accountability for their own actions Sound familiar? Ultra-conservatives are wired differently and I’ve given up trying to understand or convince them. They just don’t see reality as the rest of us do, only their own version of it which they continually feed off of.

No, Sarah Palin it’s not mean-spirited to check out the other person in a campaign…..How about the fact that you quoted WESTBROOK PEGLER in you GOP Convention speech? Pegler was strongly anti-semitic, and wrote articles about lynching! In addition, he once wrote that when an assassin missed Rosevelt and hit the mayor of Chicago, that the shooter “got the wrong guy”.
Either you admire this guy because you quoted him or you didn’t know who you were quoting–either way, it says alot about your character!

After reading the hate on this forum, I now understand what Kruchev meant when he said “America will fall without a single shot being fired, we will defeat you from within”. I would say his words are about to come to fruition. For a country who always sells itself as the land of opportunity for all, your comments contradict this. Obviously to be a candidate you must be from an elitist group, preferably not a Mother of more than 1 child, and preferably not from a smaller community, not have a christian faith base, believe in abortion, and parrrleeese most definately not a country girl. Absolutely not considered unless you have numerous degree’s and have traveled extensively. Guess that leaves out a vast majority of the populations chances of ever attaining the the dream you sell to your children. 99.99% of them wont stand a chance of running for your highest office.

Palin is awesome and will bring reforms that Washington needs.

J, I tweaked your and corrected your original comment …
Forget Obama….
Palin is a risky, radical character that we still don’t know
What the heck is the media thinking.
It IS important that Palin and her associates abuse their power for personal vendettas and gain.
Please investigate all of this.
Why are we not making an issue about it should be the question.
Are “Rushies” in control of the media?

John
Thanks for the laugh of the day. Do you have a poster of her hanging on your wall?
Bob

She’s the one who keeps reminding us about the negativity by sayiing “It’s not negative to say….” It’s like she’s heard the criticism, or been told to tone down her rhetoric and instead of giving us all credit for recognizing that she’s toned it down, she repeats this phrase over and over again. Like we’re too stupid to know the difference between her toned down rhetoric, or the hate speech she’s so used to.

Republican Party has been incompetent to solve the country’s problems. Our country has been toward wrong direction. Vote for Democratic Party if we want to change this direction. McCain is an old politician with all Washington’s mess. Palin is a stupid and ignorant woman who put her family first.

We were at one of the Obama’s rallies and talk about the hate for Palin. Where’s the media at reporting all that hate?? It was the same hate we saw at Mrs. Clinton’s rallies from the Obama people. It’s always a double standard.

It is shameful and wrong (say nothing of completely hypocritical) how a so-called “Christian” incites such hatred toward another human being. God forbid anything ever happen to Obama or his family, but if it does, Sarah Palin and her message of hate and division will be partly to blame. What an awful way to run a campaign. Thankfully the media is not letting her or McCain get away with this despicable behavior.

When I went to school one of my best friends was to put it nicely a whore – does this make me one?

Steve, Trent Lott is an old Dixiecrat, do your research. He supported George McGovern, Robert Byrd, and other Dixiecrat’s back in the day when they were trying to keep segregation legal and enforced! Real Republicans(and Federalists) have always been Republican and against slavery and racism from the very beginning of this country, it’s a historical fact. Liberals don’t seem to like that fact, because that’s also why they call the Republican party the religious right, just because of their belief in GOD. It’s simple historical facts. Trent Lott was just a Democratic puppet, that the Republicans knew about. That’s why he was senate leader for the Republicans, because the Democrats would only talk to him because of his close ideology and past with the Democratic party. The Democratic party has a long history of not reaching across the isle, and only legislating with anger, that’s a historical fact. Check it out for yourself, history is awesome, because you can always understand the past in actual facts, instead of passed down lies, and you can also learn from the past mistakes of everybody and thing.

“Bad guys”? What does she think of us? That we’re three-year-old children?

Obama was not 8 years old when he sat on a board with Weather underground Ayers. Obama was not 8 years old when Ayers and Obama kicked off his campaign. Obama was not 8 years old when the FBI in Chicago had him on the most wanted list. Obama was on a board a few years back with Ayers where Ayers got money for ACORN and Obama was the representative of ACORN. Please.

aaron
It’s these “good Christians”, like Sarah Palin that give Christians and religion in general a bad name. I’m a practicing Catholic (but not necessarily a good Catholic), making me a Christian also but their Christianity is nothing like what I’ve been taught about Jesus Christ. People like Sarah Palin cynically use religion for their own purposes and I believe her “morality” is shaped strictly by her ambition, nothing more.
Bob in PA

One of the reason’s they are toning it down is because thier OWN guilt by association was making its way on blogs and You Tube. People say they don’t know Obama, but what do you really know about McCain or Palin. So lets keep it real. I was disappointed to learn McCain was associated and friends with a convicted terrorist and murder and was recently on his talk show. G.Gordon Liddy. and not to mention the AIP that Palin is happy to support. Fact check.org has shown that these are lies and Ayers is a respected educator. Its funny that NO, yes NO news show has even interviewed him. why.. you tell me.

Then I guess it’s not too big a problem, is it J?

Gov. Palin, the American people are no fools, we have checked out your “RECORD” and that of Sen. McCain – and we are not impressed. You better get back to MOOSE and WITCH hunting ! Imagine McCain’s judgement in choosing you as VP – Bad, bad, bad! Sincerely, Lake Hart, a Native American Writer

Debby,
You need to add that Ayers was no affliated with Weather Underground when he sat on a board with Obama, Ayers was no affiliated with Wether Underground when Obama started his political career 20 years ago.
Where was Palin 20 years ago? Oh, that’s right..Popping out her “premature” baby, born exactly 6 months after she eloped “because of financial costs of a wedding”. If you believe those two coincidences, I have a bridge to sell you..oh wait..they never built it…but kept the federal money.

THANK GOD it seems USAF Officer has finally shut her ignorant mouth

What Sarah Palin has brought to the ticket is her own scandal, a less than positive image of her own knowledge of issues and language that has energized Democrats.
Rather than appealing to swing voters she has appealed to the base in a manner that has moved independents to support Obama.
Sarah Palin was a gamble by Senator Mc Cain and he lost on that one. The attacks on Obama have been foolish and counter productive. Mc Cain lost the campaign advantage of experience by picking someone who has no relevant experience and now not only will likely lose the Presidency but because of Palin a larger number of Senate Seats than thought.
The strategy of running as a experienced Statesman was shelved in favor of tricks and stunts promoted by a beauty queen. Sorry, no one is buying this low brow approach to politics in the face of serious national problems.
It is clear that Sarah is going to have her own problems holding on to her seat as Governor and will serve out her term trying to persuade voters that being a hunting and fishing hockey mom is what they need. The rest of the US has decided it does not.

Oh dear….it’s NOW THE BATTLE OF THE old war hero and dipstick in lipstick!!

McCain tussles with Palin over whipping up a mob mentality
Sarah Baxter
Video: the second presidential debate in 10 easy minutes
With his electoral prospects fading by the day, Senator John McCain has fallen out with his vice-presidential running mate about the direction of his White House campaign.
McCain has become alarmed about the fury unleashed by Sarah Palin, the moose-hunting “pitbull in lipstick”, against Senator Barack Obama. Cries of “terrorist” and “kill him” have accompanied the tirades by the governor of Alaska against the Democratic nominee at Republican rallies.
Mark Salter, McCain’s long-serving chief of staff, is understood to have told campaign insiders that he would prefer his boss, a former Vietnam prisoner of war, to suffer an “honourable defeat” rather than conduct a campaign that would be out of character – and likely to lose him the election.
Palin, 44, has led the character attacks on Obama in the belief that McCain may be throwing away the election and her chance of becoming vice-president. Her supporters think that if the Republican ticket loses on November 4, she should run for president in 2012.
A leading Republican consultant said: “A lot of conservatives are grumbling about what a poor job McCain is doing. They are rolling their eyes and saying, ‘Yes, a miracle could happen, but at this rate it is all over’.
A McCain official confirmed that there was dissension in the campaign. “There is always going to be a debate about the costs and benefits of any strategy,” he said.

‘Drill Baby Drill’, is the most insulting thing that the men of the Rebub party can chant, and instead of Palin seeing the obvious inference she’s so ignorant or self loathing that she encourages it……what a joke! Sarah, this joke is on you…..they are not talking about oil.

i think the mesage on the wall has finally hit mccain, that they are likely not going to win this election. Now is the time for his campaign to lose with dignity and grace

People all over the world like pretty woman, having Palin as VP, will will improve our image around the world. She will repair the tainted global image.

The McCain has already done their damage – inciting and starting a lynch mob of angry hopeless conservatives. I fear for the day the good ol’ boys land on the white house lawn in the Robert E. Lee and say, “We gonna take this here guv’ment over in the name of Dixie”

When a person projects thems4elves as a Christian then they should try to live up
to the teachings of the Lord. Your nasty comments about your opponents are not in keeping with the Christian ideals. Deal with the issues that are important to the American people and move away from the gutter talk that is going on.The Dollar bill states “In God we Trust” then Trust him and carry out his teachings.

Oh my god I am Republican who is afraid of everything…wheres my duct tape and plastic wrap. Lions and Tigers and Blacks…OH MY

Sarah is toning down her speeches because she was told to, not because she wants to . She is still filled with hatred and there is nothing worse than a phoney Christian!

People all over the world like pretty woman, having Palin as VP, will will improve our image around the world. She will repair the tainted global image.
Posted by: John | Oct 13, 2008 10:00:22 AM
Let her try that wink wink crap with other world leaders. Yeah that will improve are image.

Sarah’s unblinking eyes will kill all terrorists and cure cancer. NOT.

No More Drilling Please

CNN is busy playing the race card for McCain. No wonder he decided to stop his foul attacks. They’re doing his dirty work for him.
Ostensibly, they are debating the Bradley effect but what they are really suggesting is Obama may be too black to be president. . In addition they are now quoting Castro in Cuba regarding race. It seems he too, likes Obama . This is disgusting.
Even Fox would not stoop this low.
They follow in the footsteps of that paragon of virtue, Palin.
THE FIX IS IN AT CNN.

John, you’re one of the idiots I was talking about. Sheesh, how dumb can you be???? Are you SERIOUS?????

Man, people must *really* not want you to be president if they’d rather vote for a Muslin terrorist instead.

Sarah,
In three weeks you can go back to Wasilla and nobody will care who you are.
Sincerely,
Fed Up

If you are pondering the McCain campaign’s new tactic… what appears to be pulling back in their attacks on Obama, you should look to the CIA. Obama is protected by the CIA and, because of this, it is highly likely that someone with plenty of power in the CIA smacked the McCain campaigns hands behind closed doors. I almost felt sorry for Grandpa John when he set an audience member straight over the weekend. Too bad he was probably FORCED to back off by the CIA.

I read the “troopergate” report as soon as it hit the internet late Friday night, and have been watching and waiting for it to hit the news.
No luck.
It was glossed over on ALL the Sunday political shows, and barely mentioned on local outlets.
I was feeling very disappointed, until I heard Chris Cuomo on Good Morning America this morning. They had done a teaser about his report, but I wasn’t interested, because I assumed it would be a softball “she didn’t do anything wrong” piece.
Thank God I caught it! Cuomo didn’t miss a single pertinent detail.
He mentioned that Palin claimed exoneration, and pointed out that she was mistaken. He clearly stated that she was determined to be guilty of abuse of her power.
That’s all I expect; report the facts.

Palin and her lap dog are in Virginia Beach holding a clan rally…………

This IS the new strategy. McCain and Palin are trying to distance themselves from the anger they’ve created in their supporters… after they created that anger in the first place. Now McCain and Palin look like rational, peace-loving people. Thus, when the “October Surprise” happens (probably an attack on Iran by Israel or some other “new front in the war on terror”), they will say: “Look, we’re peaceful, calm people. But we really need to fight this war, and Osama/Obama doesn’t have the guts for war.” All the angry supporters will already be on-board, and the rest of us will just roll over like we always do when they tell us our “national security” is at risk. The Lame Duck Bush White House still has a few tricks up it’s sleeve.

Sarah, you’re so patriotic! You should put on a red and blue g-string a do a flag pole dance.
GOP – Less Grand – More Klan.

Al & J, you are buying into the McCain/Palin smokescreen called “desperation”. You right-wingers are grasping at straws. McCain can offer nothing to help our economic situation. McCain HIMSELF said that the economy was not his strong point. Have you forgotten that? Continue to bash Obama and see if the majority will buy the hype. People who vote for McCain are living in a la la land. McCain also said that our economy was strong. Yeah…and that’s like saying Sarah Palin is strong on women’s rights. Get a clue..McCain ain’t gonna win.

It is sad to read these comments, to see how truly divided Americans are. We have dissolved into a bunch of name-calling schoolchildren, taunting, teasing, insulting — and the world is looking at us and how incredibly stupid and pathetic we’ve become. As for Obama, as one writer said, he didn’t suddenly emerge out of nowhere. And “ABC” isn’t going to “hide” everything that Tony Rezko is saying, as if they were going to “protect” Obama. Obama is not perfect, but neither is McCain. So, let’s drop that level of hate-baiting. But, I’m sorry, when Sarah Palin says that the terrorists “do not like America because of what we stand for: liberty, freedom, equal rights” — I’m sorry, Sarah, what equal rights are we talking about? I’m an American, but because I’m gay and I have a partner from another country, I can’t come and live with him in my own beloved country because of the level of HATE I feel from my countrymen. Because, Sarah, I am NOT protected under the law. And please don’t give me the Connecticut, Mass/Calif “marriage” laws — they don’t apply to people like me who are in bi-national relationships.
Trust me, with wars going on, the economy collapsing, people losing homes and jobs, I KNOW that my situation is MEANINGLESS in the larger picture. HOWEVER, I do not like righteous politicians who live in fantasy lands and think we have EQUAL RIGHTS when we CLEARLY DO NOT. No, Sarah, the terrorists do not hate us because we have “freedom, liberty, and equal rights” — they hate us because we stick our damn nose in everybody’s business and tell them how they should live their lives.
I’m sorry, folk, but when the US starts a-wanderin’ through ancient cultures and expects to whipsnap them into new democratic copycats, it just ain’t gonna happen EVER. And all the fightin’ and promises and posturing and politicks isn’t going to help, EVER. So, it’s nice that Sara “toned it down a notch,” but, it doesn’t matter, because she doesn’t “get it.”
When we learn to RESPECT each other and treat each other with love and kindness, then maybe we will be free and have equal rights. Right now, all we have is a big “gosh darn” mess!

What about Sarah’s radical friends Mark Chryson and Steve Stoll? Though Chryson belongs to a fringe political party, one that advocates the secession of Alaska from the Union, and that organizes with other like-minded secessionist movements from Canada to the Deep South, he is not without peculiar influence in state politics, especially the rise of Sarah Palin. An obscure figure outside of Alaska, Chryson has been a political fixture in the hometown of the Republican vice-presidential nominee for over a decade. During the 1990s, when Chryson directed the AIP, he and another radical right-winger, Steve Stoll, played a quiet but pivotal role in electing Palin as mayor of Wasilla and shaping her political agenda afterward. Both Stoll and Chryson not only contributed to Palin’s campaign financially, they played major behind-the-scenes roles in the Palin camp before, during and after her victory. I have not heard or seen anything concerning her connections to them in the main media. AIP was an organization her husband once belong but not getting the attention.

its about time mcsame put the leash on his attack pit bull!

Gotta love this – another “intelligent, intellectual” McPalin supporter on the loose, from Joseph:
“Life is too important to be taken seriously, and this election is too important to take a chance on a very risky person.
By the way I am now depending on Sarah Palin for my latest news and truth. Sorry, NEws media, you failed!!!!!!!”
This guy’s a genius. Maybe I will vote for mcfailin’ after all! You know, life is too important to be taken seriously so vote for an idiot bigot and a senile man with PTSD raging out of control. Yeah, that’s the ticket.
Maybe that was Joseph six pack?

Thats not John Mccain,its a little asian guy from red china, he was switched when he was in nam. Its a Manchurian candidate.

Too late…Palin is what she is..Vey good at attacking and very poor at presenting a positive image of herself or McCain. After the election Palin should go back to Alaska and restart her secessionist efforts…That way she can become president of Alaska and, by default, become experienced in foreign policy….And since Alaska would be its own country she would not be bound by federal ethics laws and first dude Todd could have total run of the Alaskan White House…

The world is not “good guys” and “bad guys,” and such simplicity is childish and dangerous. There are bad gals, too, for example, who over-simplify things, but through open-mindedness and vigorous diplomacy we can discipline the “badness” of such narrow-mindedness and put rational thinking in its place. Sarah Palin needs to grow up.

“Mine, baby, mine!” perfectly describes the kind of thinking that brought the latest economic crisis. It will be what brings the next one too.
The fruit of greed never ripens; it only spoils.

“There’s a difference between making a change and making a difference.”

McCain stayed with the communist Viet Cong after they tried to release him.
John refused to escape which violated Article III of the Code of Conduct. Article III requires captured Americans “… to escape and aid others to escape, …”. See Title 10 United State Code of Military Justice.
He refused to rejoin his air combat unit. He refused to rejoin his wife and children. His refusal to repatriate deprived military families about their loved ones who were prisoners of war. He refused to repatriate to provide military analysis with information about location of prisoners, how and where they were moved, assist in planning rescue attempts, and other sensitive military information.

The 44-year-old Alaska governor is a fitness fanatic. I read at http://www.projectweightloss.com/index.php how much she runs and … wow! Looks like this runs in the family (no pun intended), taking into account her parents were track coaches.

I agree with an earlier poster – - Palin is none too bright, but its a shame the way she is being treated by the McCain campaign. McCain and his staff talk about her as if she were a second-grader who just got a part in the school play – - “Isn’t she wonderful??? She remembered almost all her lines today!!! I’m so proud of her!!!”
Can you imagine anyone ever talking about an adult male that way?
As a woman I’m apalled by the way they treat her, but she doesn’t seem tuned in enough to care, so I guess I won’t worry too much about her.

That should do it for Obama. With the ability to control the dialogue McCain can pack it up.
The voters have a right to know about Ayers and the rest of Obama’s relationships, and with a press unwilling to do honest in depth looks, he will slide on through.
What all the associations and friendships Obama has had do, is paint a picture of the values and beliefs that Obama may hold, since he won’t tell us himself. These are long term friendships with individuals holding radical views, some who have been convicted of illegal deeds, and who have supported Obama financially. How can Obama simply dismiss these people as being insignificant to his life and to who he is today.
So now, with McCain again being erratic, the campaign backs off from a legitimate issue because of opinions and spin from Obama supporters, including the MSM.
What is left? Well I suppose we can look at the history of what happens when one party has full control of government, something the writers of the Constitution tried to prevent. We can look at the reasoning of giving even more power to the Democartic Party who has failed to deliever on the mandate given two years ago and who now has the an approval rating worse than Bush.
Or I suppose we can celebrate the new Socialist America where dissent is suppressed, and opposing views are all racist. Where business is nationalized, and government takes on the role of your mother, providing all that you need (at least that is what the Democrats will tell you).
This is not the America of my dreams or of my forefathers, is it your?

Hi I’m from Liverpool, England I have been watching the race for President and I must say Mccain/Palin come across as two very disturbed irrational people. I’m white and working class but I feel fortunate enough to come from a city that is multicultural. Maverick Mccain and his side kick Palin have appeared to comment in their past rallies about Obama’s middle name. How many soldiers have fought to combat terrorism for the USA and the coalition forces that are named Hussein. One last thing, we are always reminded of the suffering the Jews and the world had at the hands of the last Maverick world leader….Hitler!!!!! Another Holocaust against any other race, nation or people with different religious beliefs wont right the wrongs of past attrocities. Obama is calm consistantly.
We dont need a Maverick or a side kick wannabe maverick with their itchy trigger finger on the button.

It’s puzzling to me that we keep hearing people say “we don’t know Obama,” he was “just a community organizer,” and other vague remarks about his background.
This is a guy who has TWO Ivy League degrees! Columbia University in 1983 and Harvard Law School in 1991. He didn’t just scrape by, either: he was president of the Harvard Law Review. After graduating, he went to Chicago to practice law and teach constitutional law. He served for eight years on the Illinois State Senate. In 2004, he was elected to the U.S. Senate.
Obama is hardly some fringe character–it’s not exactly easy to graduate from Columbia or Harvard Law School–nor become president of the Law Review. He taught Constitutional law, and has served as a state senator and a U.S. Senator for several years.
Somehow this impressive resume gets swept under the rug–and he is made to sound like some neighborhood nut from Chicago.
Why is that? Is it because it sounds too “elite”? We need the best and brightest to lead our country.

is this really the legacy john mcain wants to leave behind? i don’t think so. maybe the chance at the presidency is just too enticing and he’s willing to sell his soul, (figuratively), to get there. why perpetuate the culture of fear? i believe there must be positive, more constructive ways to bring us together to solve the problems we face.
i never really believed that mcain was a bad person, but running for office puts one more in the public view. and maybe this is what the reference to his being hotheaded by his peers in the senate was all about. politics is probably too important to leave in the hands of politicians. vote for the person you feel will approach our problems with the best ideas and the best intellect to get us where we want to go.

What all the associations and friendships Obama has had do, is paint a picture of the values and beliefs that Obama may hold, since he won’t tell us himself. These are long term friendships with individuals holding radical views, some who have been convicted of illegal deeds, and who have supported Obama financially. How can Obama simply dismiss these people as being insignificant to his life and to who he is today.
So now, with McCain again being erratic, the campaign backs off from a legitimate issue because of opinions and spin from Obama supporters, including the MSM.
What is left? Well I suppose we can look at the history of what happens when one party has full control of government, something the writers of the Constitution tried to prevent. We can look at the reasoning of giving even more power to the Democartic Party who has failed to deliever on the mandate given two years ago and who now has the an approval rating worse than Bush.
Or I suppose we can celebrate the new Socialist America where dissent is suppressed, and opposing views are all racist. Where business is nationalized, and government takes on the role of your mother, providing all that you need (at least that is what the Democrats will tell you).
This is not the America of my dreams or of my forefathers, is it your?

Manolete, it was Sarah Palin herself who said female candidates shouldn’t whine when they are placed under a sharper microscope. She said such treatment is a given, and the candidate just needs to work harder.
Let her be, she can handle it. Remember, she’s a pit bull in lipstick.

Sara Palin is a weak governor and irresponsible mother!She allowed her husband to harass the intire Alaskan state trooper dept. with her blessing.Withholding an annual pay raise from all, because they(AST) refused to fire a trooper that they had a personal problem with. Todd Palin, her advisor, is an incompent boob! John Macain is unhealthy, being kept alive by government health care insurance that he doesn’t want me and mine to have.
Barack Obama is an intelligent constitutional law professor from Harvard. Joe Biden is an experienced senator,from a well managed state,Rhode Island.
This is hardly a choice. If Macain/Palin receive any votes it will be from die hard republicans whos entire ancestry is tied up in voting republican no matter if its good for the country or not.
Independant voters, like myself, are independant for a reason. We will hopefully look into the possible futures of each presidential candidate.
President Macain?= continuation of current economic,domestic, and foreign policy. The real possiblity of him dieing in office. Leaving the Palin BOOBS as the leaders of the free world. No thanks!!
President Obama?= definate economic,domesic,and foreign policy changes.A chance to improve african-american self esteem immeasurably. He is driven, vital, and charismatic he reminds me of JFK.
If we truly want whats good for the United States of America, we will with one voice instill Barack Obama with our confidence to make our vision of the american way of life fulfilled.
CHANGE IS DIFFICULT!! THE EASY PATH LEADS EVER DOWNWARD INTO STAGNATION!!

Dog gone it, when will the media report more on the Palin’s involvement with the Alaska Independence Party? She speaks at their meetings and sends them greetings from the Govs office(2008). The AIP wants Alaska to be separated from the rest of America, they hate America and she tells them to “keep up the good work”???? They helped her get started and she is still involved with them. Heck, everyone needs to look at her darn record!!!!

“Where’s Sarah?” Sarah they need you, they want you back. They’ll take you if you ask nice. Oh, do pit bulls who wear lipstick do anything nice?
Look, the truth is…you’re a fun joke, but I don’t want you abusing your power anywhere near the international or national stage of our planet.
“Good guys” and “Bad guys?” It’s so sad I can’t even laugh.
Please, go back to Alaska, they’ll take you back.

Sarah Palin is a very good reason why abortion should be legal. The world would’ve been a better place if she had been aborted.

I can’t stand the woman, but your comments cross the line.

To put it very simply, in these unparalled, unprecedented, dangerous times, the last thing I want from a major political candidate is to have them ‘wink’ at me.

Ohhh, I said it twice! Even better, because I really mean it!

McCain’s choice on a simple-minded Palin as his running mate shows his lack of judgment. But the worse thing is that many Americans don’t seems to realize her stupidity and nonsense. Shall something happen to McCain, a dumb beauty pageant becomes our leader?　No, thanks. America has enough bad image in the world. We don’t need more.

I was born in 1960 which makes me 48 years old. In 1972, after leaving the military, my father moved my mom, my brother and myself from Texas to Alaska; we drove the Alaskan Highway in a truck-camper. I spent my school years from 6 grade on in Alaska, I obtained a Bachelors of Science degree from the University of Alaska Fairbanks. I have lived in Anchorage, Fairbanks, and a little known place in the bush of Alaska called King Salmon. In 1998 I moved my wife and 2 children from Fairbanks, 5000 miles to Raleigh North Carolina in a minivan pulling a 12 foot trailer back down the Alaskan Highway. Raleigh was a place we had not ever seen or been to before, and we did not have a job for myself or my wife when we arrived. In total I lived 26 years in Alaska and while I am now physically located in North Carolina my heart is still Alaskan.
Since Sarah Palin was announced as the Republican Vice Presidential candidate I have been asked by many people what I thought of her. I don’t know her personally, and I have never met her. In the 26 years I lived in Alaska I have visited Wasilla and Juneau on many occasions. And through all of the various stories published by the media I have gained some understanding of who Sarah Palin is, but it has been difficult to relay that understanding to the people who have asked me about her. My response to them has been, “Based on everything I have heard and read about Sarah Palin she is a true Alaskan. She embodies who the people of Alaska are.” Now the problem is that when I tell people this they don’t know who the people of Alaska are, and it’s often difficult for me to describe who they are.
But I just ran across a news item on CNN that accurately and clearly describes the kind of people that are true Alaskans and the kind of spirit that drives Alaskans, including their current Governor. With the current economic crisis there has been talk about the Great Depression of the 30’s. A story was published at that time about a man named Mr Paul Satko of Richmond Virginia. The story goes that once the depression hit he got the idea of going to Alaska from Virginia and living off the land. Being a machinist Mr Satko scrounged together parts and built a 40 foot boat, a rather unusual boat because he had never built a boat before. Then he hauled the boat across the country to Tacoma Washington doing odd jobs to feed his family. Reaching Tacoma he started preparing the boat for the trip by putting the engine from his Ford in the boat along with supplies for the trip. But while he was preparing the boat the Juvenile court system found out about his plans and took 5 of his 7 children into custody charging that the boat was not sea worthy and would not survive the 1500 mile trip to Alaska and that put his children in danger. To cut a long story short the trip depended on Mr Satko proving to the court that the ship was sea worthy, which he was able to do because they left Seattle and made it safely to Juneau. Part of Mr Satko’s defense to the Juvenile court was that many courageous adventurers looking for a better life left the shores of Europe in much less sea fairing boats to cross the Atlantic to reach a new land, a land of new hope.
The Clearfield Progress, PA, 04-30-1940 reporting on Mr Satko said the following:
It is a shameful thing to have to report that some people snickered a little when Paul Satko’s “ark” was halted by Seattle authorities as he was about to sail for Alaska. Courage and determination and the unshatterable dream of a better future in a new land are never things to laugh at. Satko’s story is an epic of courage that should make the snickerers feel humble and ashamed. It is a fountain of inspiration and hope to see such determined bravery in our time. Satko was unemployed in Richmond, Va. Using odds and ends as material, he built a strange-looking “ark,” an amateurish and flimsy 40-foot boat. He loaded it on a trailer and hauled it all the way across the country to Tacoma, Wash. He supported himself and his brood of children by doing odd jobs. For six months at Tacoma he prepared for the journey to Alaska. He worked at what he could get. He worked at his boat. Gradually he equipped it in makeshift fashion for a 1500-mile voyage—a voyage by a landsman in a homemade boat through unknown waters, with no guide but a vision of a new land where he might hew out a future for himself and seven children. Authorities stopped him at Seattle. The boat wasn’t strong enough, hadn’t enough power. The children wouldn’t be safe. No doubt they are right. But can the United States afford to see Paul Satko thwarted? Is this kind of courage so common that it can be cast aside? How safe were the western pioneers when they pushed off for the west in clumsy wagons, facing hostile Indians and brutal blizzards, and starvation. “Pike’s Peak or Bust!” read the scrawled slogans on the Conestoga wagons, and whitening bones along the trails testified that many fell short. Yet the west was won. Without attempting to judge between Satko and those who are holding him up at the moment, there is something there on the Seattle docks that must not be wasted. It is courage and determination and initiative, and it must not be frustrated. Alaska needs men like Paul Satko, and the United States needs them, and the world!
I know many men and women in Alaska like Paul Satko, and from what I have learned Sarah Palin is of the same spirit. The same spirit of bringing together what some would call spare parts and in the face of great opposition push forward with courage and determination and the unshatterable dream of a better future. That’s what I mean when I say I believe Sarah Palin is a true Alaskan.
Kent Widmayer

A bipartisan investigation found that Palin abused Alaska’s ethics laws when she tried to have the head state trooper get rid of an ex-brother-in-law.
Palin claimed to reporters over the weekend that she had been “cleared of any legal wrongdoing, any hint of unethical activity.”
That’s just not true, and Palin knows it.
She kept repeating her silly contention at campaign stops, instructing one reporter to “read the report, sir.”
Here’s the most important part of the report.
“Governor Palin knowingly permitted a situation to continue where impermissible pressure was placed on several subordinates in order to advance a personal agenda.”
Bad bad choice McCain.

What does Sarah Palin have to do with Michael Vick…..? nothing….. She will be able to relate to Michael Vick’s pit bulls who had to be put down.

Come on america STAND UP! lets send this ant-american WITCH Back to Alaska on her broom no more corruption in the white house!! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

Anybody that can READ knows that Chicago politicians and the mafia go hand and hand.. As for Mrs. Fluff, she left the power of the governorship go to her head just within the law but not ethical and poor Mcbush can’t see that she wants the job he wants. These two are a pair of do for me I am a war hero if he was smart he would not have been captured to begin with, claims he knows how to win wars what war or wars did he win???

The TERRORISTS have been the REPUBS who have chosen a FIGHT TIL WE WIN attitude in a war to nowhere! The REPUBS have chosen the NON regulated loan ideas that have gotten the housing market and foreclosure rates to where they are now. McCain and PALIN need to step aside and let someone else run this show. We have had 8 years of disaster…we NEED CHANGE TO OBAMA/BIDEN

It is become very obvious that Obama and his campaign support censorship; otherwise why would they try to stop McCain and Palin from telling the truth? As long as what McCain and Palin are saying is the truth then they have every right to say it. Anyone that stands in the way of this right isn’t really American or doesn’t understand how precious this is to the American people. They have every right to be heard

Dear Americans in flyover states:
Please stop electing idiots. Have you ever wondered why a map of the 2006 elections looks like a photo of the country a night, with every place that would be illuminated colored blue?
http://www-personal.umich.edu/~mejn/election/2006/
It is because you slack-jawed mouth breathers vote for pandering candidates that prefer to get you excited about patriotism rather than talk about progressive economic and social policies (like a big America pep rally while the country burns around you).
Sarah Palin is the worst of these candidates. Is Barry a terrorist?! Maybe you should take her word for it: who has time to read these days…you might miss American Idol, right?
Please just stop being stupid. If you can’t do that, ask this “Who would some latte sipping east coast elitist vote for?” The answer is probably a more qualified candidate than you will.

Palin is an opportunistic Cee U Next Tuesday.

Palin and her sidekick McCain might be inciting their supporters to violence with their negative campaigning filled with anger, hatred, and racism. If violence breaks out on the streets, America will have Palin and McCain to thank. I’m sure they will not accept the responsibility for the violence but the world will know it is their doing.

Here’s some news that should make you Sarah Palin fans real happy.
Seems her future son-in-law, Levi Johnston, (you know, the guy that knocked up Sarah 16 year old daughter after all those abstinence talks) has this to say about Obama….”He seems like a good guy. I like him.”
I’d like to be a fly on the wall the next time that family get’s together. LOL

Right, J, we must all tune in to Foxy News for what’s really going on with Rezko. Laughing out loud!!!!!!!!!!!

something I just noticed … “Sarah Palin” and “Somalia Pirates” have the same initials … what is up with that?!?

I support McCain-Palin all the way. I am so excited to have a woman in politics who finally speaks for me. God bless America!

Pippa writes from South Africa:
When are the American political media
going to find someone else to write
about?
Sarah Palin has been reviled, savaged, hated and mauled by the media and the ‘upper echelons’ of ‘intellectual’ America. In fact, I think she is the
most despised person in America.
Democrats, I ask you to cease from such exhibiting such neurosis over Sarah Palin. She is now a disgraced
carcass with scarcely a heartbeat, deemed ready for the maggots by public and media scrutiny.
Soon, Sarah Palin will sled off back to Alaska where she will again be comfortable with her guns, pit bulls and the revolting company she keeps.
Those racist ‘six pack joes’’, trailer trash on welfare, and over bred families.
Those third grade children she gives a ‘shout out’ to during her speeches.
Alarming as to think how she infiltrated her way onto a public platform! A ‘hockey mom’ wearing vulgar lipstick which now involves pigs!
We in South Africa are horrified by such
hatred exhibited by the American people. A first world Super power?
Obama cannot lose this election.
Study the polls and avail yourself
of this information. Obama has the
White House in the bag, so to speak.
I have visited your country and after
observing your election, I have decided
to confine my travel to European countries only.
May God Bless America.

Pippa:
The news covers that which it feels is somewhat shocking or will otherwise get attention.
The vast majority of Americans of any political bent at all do not make the news because we don’t engage in this sort of behavior. That’s normal, and therefore not newsworthy.

To those who believe Obama is “radical” with terrorist connections: what exactly do you base this on? And if you’re going to cite Ayers, then please be specific.
Do you also believe that Palin did nothing ethically/legally wrong in Troopergate even though the report explicitly says she did.

This woman has nothing to say. Sarah Palin reminds me of the eight grade mentality of my husband’s cousin—a rabid Palin supporter and not-too-bright bigot that buys all her “terrorist” nonsense. Have you ever noticed how stupid their supporters sound? I mean REALLY STOOPID.
Go away, Sarah. One lie after another. Oh yeah—sure you’re not guilty of abuse of power. Sure. Your supporters will buy that one. Not us.

Sarah Palin is just annoying every time she opens her mouth on television. McCain shows poor judgement for picking her.

Let me see if I got this right. The Republicans controlled the White House, House and Senate from 2001-2007. During this time frame what did they ever do to stop abortions? Nothing! Why? Because they do not want to stop abortions because if they did they would lose a large chunk of their base. The Republicans need abortion as a rallying point to much to stop them. So Republicans ask yourself, “What has the Republicn party ever really done to stop abortion?” Answer, nothing.

For one thing, we know who the bad guys are, OK? We know, we know that in the war, it’s terrorists, terrorists who hate America and her allies and would seek to destroy us, and the bad guys are those who would support and sympathize with the terrorists. They do not like America because of what we stand for: liberty, freedom, equal rights. Those who sympathize and support those terrorists who would seek to destroy all that it is that we value, those are the bad guys, ok

Sorry about the double post – the first one is the excerpted Palin quote and I hit “return” by accident. Could the moderators please delete it? Thanks.

Counting down to inauguration day in this nation’s history.
Obama /Biden 2008.
it
will
be
done

RE:
Sarah Palin Tones it Down a Notch
October 13, 2008 7:27 AM
———–
Montreal, CANADA, October 4, 2008
TO THE NEXT UNITED STATES OF AMERICA NEW PRESIDENT:
SIR:
“MAY I CALL YOU “O” ?”
Because of MAIN STREET !
Because of WALL STREET !
Because of the final electoral sprint – ending soon next coming november 2008 – while THE WHOLE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA has its eyes on YOU.
Everyone expects You to be democratically elected and see that something happen in America.
In March 1983, one of humanity’s most famous spokesmen, Pope John Paul II, came to our country – ‘Haîti’ – and loudly proclaimed what each and every one of us had been whispering:
“Something must change here !”
Today, more than ever, a lot of people of The United States of America stand up, longing for something and working to make something happen.
“Go thou America ahead and show us thy true countenance in a positive light.’ It is up to everyone to play his or her part in order to let thee regain thy mark of excellence !”
With this letter, I am communicating with You, SIR, and with the whole people of The United States of America.
You offer this country what it takes to be a ‘Wonderfull Land.’ Yes, let us say ‘with a great people living and working together.’
Go thou, America, go ahead, following in the footsteps of one of thy sons who is now becoming one of thy statesmen.
With this in mind, to whom else could I entrust this letter sent to his Holiness Pope John Paul II when he set foot on Haitian soil for the first time, as well as its acknowledgment by the Vatican?
That letter to Pope John Paul II is intended to draw attention to the problem posed by anti-Black discrimination and its negative repercussions on the advancement of scientific progress in the West, and more precisely in the realm of Optics.
In the Western world, according to Newton’s widely accepted theory, white is considered to be the synthesis of all colors. Actually, the opposite is true. White constitutes the analysis or ‘visible’ decoding of light or color, whereas black is its synthesis or ‘invisible’ composition.
In other words, darkness or blackness and, we might add, “Black Holes’” – a scientific misnomer designating invisible stars or ‘Black Suns’ – are a source of energy and light. Scientifically, Industrially and Economically speaking, what an asset !
That basic raw material of light energy culminates, in its most radiant form, in the neutralization of all the colors of the spectrum in the form of usually called “white light.”
Therefore “absolute blackness”, the absorption of all the colors, is a divisible component of light. Needless to say, Newton’s theory gives only a partial interpretation of the notion of light, by excluding black. Our contribution aims at demonstrating that the black color is not only an integral part of the color process, but its true synthesis. Light is therefore shown to be a divisible whole comprising an intensity or color scale in which black is the invisible or ‘absorbed’ form of the energy in question.
Allow me, SIR, in order to support my statement concerning Black Holes and radiation, to pose a question asked by Hubert Reeves, Doctor of nuclear astrophysics and Scientific Consultant to NASA:
“What would have become of the Sun, if it were plunged into a high temperature radiance like the one that existed at the beginning of the Universe? [our translation]”
“Instead of emitting light, it would absorb it and, in the end, it would be completely reabsorbed into the cosmic fluid.”
The cosmic fluid is what, due to an “optical mistake”, is called “darkness” or the “blackness of Space”. We are talking about the electromagnetic flux, that immeasurable ocean in which the planets and stars are bathed, like the sea which links all the continents together. Darkness is thus “The Sea of Space.”
“What would have happened if, instead of an ordinary star like the “White Sun”, a Black Hole or “Black Sun” were injected into that primordial radiation?”
“According to Einsteinian Physics, a Black Hole is a place where gravity is so formidably intense that nothing can escape it, not even visible light. Such a hole should suck in and absorb radiation and increase its own mass: E=MC2, always.”
“But after Einstein came Bohr, Heisenberg, and Quantum Physic. From then on, nothing was the same as before.”
“The Einsteinian version of the Black Hole is equivalent to a statement that the matter inside the Black Hole is definitely there to stay, in that volume of space. Let us quote Hubert Reeves: “Such an absolute statement is thus contrary to the “Quantum spirit”, affirming that nothing is definitely localized in one place. There is always a probability of escape. If the enclosing wall is too high, a tunnel will be dug; if the prisoners are patient, they will escape. One has only to wait.” [our translation]
“According to that principle, Black Holes “evaporate”. Matter constantly escapes as radiation. Black Holes “shine!” Their surfaces behave like those of any body heated to a certain temperature and that radiation endlessly feeds that marvelous “Cosmic Fluid” which, wrongly and in bad faith, people keep calling “Darkness.”
Nigra sum “sed” formosa!
Yes, but should we not say instead, I am black “and” comely?
Darkness, which is both source and vehicle of light, does not have to defend itself for being the beautiful and infinitely discreet raw material of the Universe. Darkness is the “Mother of the Universe.”
Also, beautiful and discreet art thou, Haiti. Discreet, yes, but never outshone! Just like the Black Virgin who inspires and sheds her love on thee from the hilltop and even beyond Cité Soleil (Sun City).
Our purpose was to offer a more constructive approach aiming at correcting the abusive traditional, so-called scientific, theories of Optics.
It’s like to say that in the exceptional circumstances in which we live today – in the point of view of FINANCE and ENERGY – no exploration in the mid or long term, by the american expertise , of an additional source of energy, at the same time safe and economically profitable, should not be ruled out.
That is why, we wrote to that authentic witness to the signs of this age, His Holiness Pope John Paul II, the prophet of the new era.
Congratulations to You, Sir, and congratulations to the PEOPLE of The United States Of America – for having made it possible for this day of November to come – to mark the beginning of a “New Era of Hope !”
Lucien Bonnet

I wonder if any of Mrs. Palin’s suppporters have done anything about her ties (through her husband) to the Alaskan Independence Party; a secessionist group in which their founder was very anti-American. Of course, we don’t hear much about that…

Take no intimadition, to the insults. Govner Paulin. Women are voting for you. All women.
Women must start governing our country.Women must VOTE.
Race, color,age, national orgin,financial statis,marriatal & student statis.
Women must vote for women.
We must support a canaidte, who will support women.
Obamma choice ,DID Not chose a woman.He does not support women

Bad people? There are bad people in the world?
Seriously isn’t that questioning the intelligence of your supporters?
Terrorists out to get us? Again?
Can’t anyone just look up the right information for themselves?
Ugh!

I am a woman.
I would never, never consider voting for either Sarah Palin or Hillary Clinton.
Why is it, that of all the qualified and capable women in America, these two ended up as participants of the presidential race?
Hillary Clinton, once fired for being a dishonest, unethical lawyer and a liar — still dishonest, unethical and a liar, the woman who started the vicious, untrue politics of diversion – the woman who stuck by Bill Clinton, who abused her over and over again, because he was her ticket to her ambitions.
Sarah Palin, vacuous but treacherous in her ignorance — the woman who took up where Hillary Clinton left off and brought the ugly character smears to a dangerous frenzy — the woman who doesn’t recognize that she has been shamefully used by John McCain.
Oh for an American Margaret Thatcher. Personal politics aside, there’s a woman, who had the education, the vision, the ability to turn that vision into reality without riding on her hustand’s coattails, without reverting to taudry personal smears, sticking to the issues and revolutionizing world politics.

Page 8, Finding Number One of the report says: “I find that Governor Sarah Palin abused her power by violating Alaska Statute 39.52.110(a) of the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act.”

Time for Palin to parse the meanings of “find,” “abused,” and “violating.”
She says, “read the report,” hoping no one actually reads the report. Don’t worry Sarah, your fellow Republicans are waiting for Sean Hannity to pour the Kool-Aid
