Never forget - Obama, in his infinite wisdom drawn from deep and broad experience, recommended that the security council sanction Russia after the Georgia invasion. Only problem, Russia holds a security council veto and would never sanction itself. Blinded by partisanship and a towering personal arrogance, Obama denied the sucess of the surge (much as his “negotiations without condition” partner from Iran denies the holocaust) of the surge even as the most die hard liberals (among them, Jay) acknowledged the success of our brave warrior soldiers in the surge. So, even if one agrees that Palin is not qualified (and I certainly do not agree as she is no less qualified than a certain debaucher who formerly served as Arkansas governer was in 1993), a reasonable man would rather have the inexperience in the second chair than with its hand on the nuc-u-lar trigger.

In the same grain, Corporal is reusing his same posts because he can’t think of anything new to say, other than…….

“DUUUUHHHHHHHHHH, UHHHMMMMM”

Corporal, you need a new writer or a new post. Just like Palin’s bs, neither one of your crap is true or interesting.

I’ve been casually hearing about Sarah Palin for months, but knew nothing about her until John McCain picked her as his running mate. Now all I can say is “What was he thinking?” If he wanted a female on his ticket he had plenty to choose from, rather than turning his campaign into a side-show. All he accomplished with this pick was to reduce himself to hiding from the media as Palin Palin’s little side-kick. Rather than a campaign I feel like I’m washing a reality show train wreck. I was undecided , but now Bob Barr will be getting my vote on Nov 4th.

One of my initial thoughts when Palin was selected was that if National Security really is such an important issue, then she would not have been selected.

Now, I’m beginning to wonder just how important National Security is.

Putting Palin on his ticket was the smartest thing McCain could have done to win this election. It is depressing however to see how little he respects this country. Unfortunately, if he is elected, this will be only the first of many of his decisions we will be forced to live with.

As a “liberal loony” I can tell you that the real thing that we are afraid of is the celebrity exposure tactics used by the GOP. Most of us, unfortunately, know the reality of the American voter is that they would rather vote for Clay Akin than Al Gore.

As for the liberal feminists, Palin was pulled to the vice presidential spot with no major successes in policy, no strong voting record, and no established popular following. That tells us that the GOP’s view of women in politics is that image an absolute necessity but aptitude is completely optional.

It always amazes me how liberals can be so easily brainwashed. If you actually do some unbiased research you would know exactly why Palin was chosen. Now if you also do the same type of research on Obama you might know why conservatives can’t believe Obama is running for president.

I have a couple of lesbian freinds who freaked out when Palin was selected. They said they have fought to hard for women’s rights to let McCain and Palin win. I know some of this is because McCain is pro-life. What lesbians/feminists don’t want to hear is that McCain doesn’t want to regulate abortions, on the otherhand liberals do.

The fact that Palin has been skewered by the liberals speaks very loudly that you are afraid of a strong, stable, smart, hardworking mother. I think many feminist/lesbians are ashamed of themselves for being what they are - loud mouthed, self centered, self absorbed, typically childless angry people with a persecution complex.

For you to tout Republicans (as opposed to Democrats) being known for using celebrity exposure tactics is absolutely laughable.

You have lost all credibility on this one.

The fact is that the majority of American voters are unfortunately unlearned, uninformed, non-tax paying individuals who vote primarily on emotion and what’s good for them rather than what’s good for the country.

If all of you libs are correct, the Annointed One should be running against McCain and not his VP pick. Rove gave him some pretty good advice when he said that running against the wrong candidate will lose you elections. Palin has had 5 times as many media attacks as has McCain. The lib media is scared. Biden doesn’t sell newpapers, TV ads and internet trash, Palin does. In Biden’s run for the White House on two occasions, he got pathetically few votes. America doesn’t really like him. If Palin and Biden were running for the presidency, she would put him away, despite all of his “experience”.

It’s a good thing that the “silent majority” doesn’t listen to all of you two faced libs. When the person who, in almost all catagories, meets your criteria for the high position of womanhood, actually confesses that to be where you want to be, you actually have to do it on your own without the help of the political correctness crowd, you attack not only her, but her family. Make accusations that have absolutely nothing to do with the job she is vying for. Try to twist and spin everything said, with a viciousness not seen since the Andrew Jackson political era. How could you posssibly claim fairness,or (here’s one for you)”tolerance”. Is this not the mantra for your upright views? At least it was until your O’bama slide down to reality,let’s call it a correction, an adjustment of the reality of life. I listened to the O’bama hype during the convention and all I got out of it was that he will put a chicken on every table, (but only once), and he will get the rich to pay for it. After which, he will raise taxes on all making over $250K. Let’s see..he made what, $4million, that’s right, $4 million last year and he’s claiming that he’s on the side of the middle class? Come now. $250K is the small bussiness backbone of this country!! As usual it’s tax, tax, tax. Unfortunetally, the tax is regressive and the the people who will pay the most is EVERY0NE under that limit! Oh, you say how can that be? Business passes all taxes and all charges on to the consumer,(DUH!)So who pays? The people at the bottom with the least. Congratulations, Mr. O’bama. Can you say “Hoodwinked” children?? AS for the BIG OIL Companies, are they not allowed to make a profit like, oh for instance, HARVARD, which had more net profit than EXXON. We’re talking BILLIONS here. EXXON 15.4 Billion,Harvard 24 Billion! Come on! At that rate everyone could go to Harvard for practically nothing. Can you believe that?? If O’bama is for higher education for all my children how come he’s not making noises about getting these exceptionaally rich colleges to have a heart and “subsidize” the poor to enter these esteemed Educational facilities, which by the way, are “susidized” by the FED,i.e.you and me,already?

The SnowWitch.

The snow witch had been planning a real speech for some time; the old fashioned kind, where you say more than one word.

She practiced in front of a mirror. She gesticulated wildly for emphasis. She paused at critical points for drama. She varied her tone and at some parts would yell out at the top of her lungs. She would be ready.

The day of her speech arrived and she stood before the throngs, silent. She didn’t move, or say anything for a few minutes. The tension grew quickly as the seconds passed and she just stood there looking at her audience, who were on pins and needles. More seconds passed, another minute, how long would she wait. The electricity was unbearable. Then, unexpectedly, she took a drink of water. That broke some of the tension and murmurs of remarks could barely be heard, but it was soon as quiet as a tomb again and still the SnowWitch did not flinch or say a word.

The agony of silence was broken anticlimaticly when the SnowWitch uttered in a barely audible, low voice….”Ladies and Gentlemen, Pointy heads, Fellow Pundits, Bloggers, Council Members, members of the army, members of the gentry, and of course, the rabble…..”

She started in such a low volume that the pointy heads were leaning forward in their seats to try to glean some phrase or every other word or something….

The Snow Witch then spoke in normal tones at normal volume, and the pointy heads settled back, totally absorbed in the main body of the SnowWitch’s address……and when the speech was finished, the Pointy Heads had their scapegoat, a group who had previously gone under the radar, a group who was most certainly responsible for all that had gone wrong in the past…..it took the SnowWitch to see it, and to point it out to the pointy heads who lived in the land of the pundits…..

He said the fundamentals of the economy were “strong,” then he said the economy was “in crisis.”

He called for a 9/11 Commission-style investigation into the financial crisis, then never brought it up again.

He said he opposed the $85 billion bailout of insurance giant AIG, then he said he supported it.

He said SEC Chairman Chris Cox had “betrayed the public’s trust” and should be fired, then called him a “good man” who only had to resign to be held accountable as the head of the commission.

In just one freaking week. AND to cap it call, whereas Obama said he supported whatever steps the Fed Chairman and Treasury Secretary took to calm the markets, McCain used this grave issue to attack and blame Obama for this crisis.

I read the piece and it says nothing about voter fraud. Lets see, the student lives in VA, studies in VA, pays school tuition in VA. VA election law does not specifically address the situation. Should all these students be disenfranchised because they are out of state students in VA? That will be addressed before the election.

If you truly read the article then you’d know that Virginia law differentiates between residence and domicile, but the Obama campaign is trying to block the efforts to determine domicile. Paying out of state tuition is a pretty clear indicator of your domicile being out of state, as is holding a driver’s license and vehicle registration from another state.

Blah, blah, blah:

United Nations Security Council Resolution 1441 is a resolution by the UN Security Council, passed unanimously on November 8, 2002, offering Iraq “a final opportunity to comply with its disarmament obligations” that had been set out in several previous resolutions (Resolution 660, Resolution 661, Resolution 678, Resolution 686, Resolution 687, Resolution 688, Resolution 707, Resolution 715, Resolution 986, and Resolution 1284).

That Iraq was in material breach of the ceasefire terms presented under the terms of Resolution 687. Iraq’s breaches related not only to Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs), but also the known construction of prohibited types of missiles, the purchase and import of prohibited armaments, and the continuing refusal of Iraq to compensate Kuwait for the widespread looting conducted by its troops in 1991.

Do you live in Athens and have a propensity for jacking emails? Just wondering. You sound well informed on small details. Democrats certainly know how to get well informed. Phewww!!

You TRY to stetch a molehill into a mountain. Alaska IS across the bay from Russia and was once owned by Russia. How do you know she can’t see it? The point is—she is not UNFAMILIAR WITH RUSSIA. She did not claim to be a diplomat.

And you, jerk, obviously don’t have a close family. Sarah Palin wanted her family to be part of her decision to be VP. She probably got them TOGETHER and asked them how they felt about it.

Mr. Palin is a worker on the oil fields and on fishing boats, in season. He sounds about as American as a working man can be. 2002? Six years ago he dropped out of a group that didn’t interest him or he would have stayed. What were YOU doing six years ago? Never changed your mind EVER?

The ranking for the fattest states just came out and predictably the Moron Belt red states occupy virtually all of the top spots.

Just as they occupy all of the bottom spots in education rankings.

The GOP’s “southern strategy” - go after the fat, dumb and lazy vote. Throw in the racists and bible thumpers and they’re sure to win Georgia.

I truly hope John McCain remains healthy as a horse if elected. His replacement is clearly in WAY over her head.

We as a nation have just suffered through eight years of the most awful president in American history. Remember he ran as an outsider with no foreign policy experience?

And look at how badly he shiite the bed.

No wonder these BushCo apologists and faux conservatives think the imminently unqualified Palin is a good choice.

Anyone who voted for Dumb and Dumber should do the country a huge favor and just stay home on November 4.

CHRIS: So where does it make a case for election fraud in the entire story??? In fact, the word FRAUD is not even mentioned once!!! The laws were changed to accommodate out of state students. How does that constitute election FRAUD???

I’ve cut and paste the full story here to prove the point:

Norfolk officials ease rules for registering student voters

Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign complained about the Norfolk registrar’s policy of sending a questionnaire to anyone applying to register from a college campus, saying the form discouraged students from following through.

City confusion The city’s questionnaire sought to establish domicile, as required under state law. It asked such questions as whether the students pay out-of-state tuition, pay Virginia income taxes or have a Virginia driver’s license. Now, local election officials don’t know how a student’s residency status will be determined.

NORFOLK

Norfolk election officials on Friday reluctantly loosened procedures for registering college students to vote after protests from presidential candidate Barack Obama’s campaign and an admonishment from state election officials.

The Illinois senator’s campaign complained that the Norfolk registrar’s policy of sending a questionnaire to anyone applying to register from a college campus discouraged students from following through. The State Board of Elections asked general registrar Elisa J. Long to halt the practice.

The Norfolk Electoral Board agreed to that but said in a statement: “This compliance is with the understanding that the Board strongly feels that by doing so, we are out of compliance with Virginia Election Laws.”

Kevin Griffis, a spokesman for Obama’s campaign in Virginia, said Norfolk’s practice was “completely ridiculous” and had “a chilling effect on voter registration on campuses.”

Obama’s campaign has been aggressively registering students in Virginia, viewed as a battleground state. Griffis said Obama “is energizing young voters in a way that’s not happened in a generation or more.”

Of Virginia’s 49,000 new registrations in August, 43 percent were age 23 and under, he said.

State law requires registrars to decide eligibility based on two components of residence: place of abode and domicile. Long said the questionnaire had been used to determine domicile and was based on suggested questions from the state elections office. Abode is address.

“The frustration is that the code says you may ask questions to help you make the determination of domicile, yet now we’re being told we cannot use a questionnaire,” Long said.

“Domicile is a tricky question; we don’t consider any one thing,” she said. Questions included whether the students pay out-of-state tuition, pay Virginia income taxes or have a Virginia driver’s license.

Long said she does not know how a student’s residency status now will be determined.

Mary Alana Welch, a 21-year-old student at Old Dominion University, received one of the questionnaires.

“It was a big deterrent,” she said. “It gave me the impression I wasn’t supposed to be registering here.”

She said she never returned it and is still figuring out how to change her registration from Northern Virginia to Norfolk.

To cast her first vote, she wants to go to the polls instead of sending in an absentee ballot.

Long and the Norfolk Electoral Board are urging that the General Assembly clarify the student voter registration policy.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Virginia agrees.

“College students are in a unique situation…. They live in two places,” the organization’s executive director, Kent Willis, said. “The state law does not address that properly.”

“If homeless people have the right to vote by choosing their principal residence, college students ought to have the same right.”

Long said she’s now reviewing an application from a student from Savannah, Ga., who pays out-of-state tuition, is declared as a dependent in Georgia and has a Georgia driver’s license and car registration.

“What automatically makes these out-of-state students Virginians?” she asked.

The Norfolk Electoral Board statement reads: “Although the revised policy guidelines places the burden of proof of residence with the person asserting it, the policy allows students to claim residence in Virginia unchallenged.”

Firestorm s erupted in a few other Virginia college towns this month - including Blacksburg with Virginia Tech - over college student registrations, particularly those of out-of-state students.

Registrars in two other local cities with colleges - Virginia Beach and Williamsburg - said they do not use questionnaires. Newport News officials could not be reached.

Sarah Palin is another example of why McCain is the DUMB candidate - as well as the one who doesn’t know TRUTH from LIE.
She adds another nominee who is DUMB as a red brick, and does not know TRUTH from LIE.

Joe Biden is another example of why Obama is the SMART candidate - as well as one who knows and values experience and competence.

On the DUMB side: McCain graduated in the BOTTOM FIVE of a 900 midshipman class. Palin attended five different “educational” institutions in order to string together enough credits for a degree in journalism, one of the least demanding academic degrees. The DUMB ticket…

On the SMART side: Obama graduated from Columbia University, and Harvard Law in the TOP of his class. Biden graduated from Syracuse University and Law School. The SMART ticket…

Hey AC-DC,

Blah Blah Blah (your quote) just shows you really have nothing to say about why we actually went into Iraq in the first place. I guess you’ve conviniently forgotten about the administration quotes on Iraq having WMD’s and how the administration erroneously tried to tie Iraq and 9/11. Nice try on re-writing history. Nice reason to kill 4000 Americans, maim 30,000 Americans and waste $ 1 Trillion dollars.

The Bush administration killed and wounded more Americans than Al-Qaeda ever did and they’re going to get away with it.

The UN Mandate you quoted was never proven to be in breach because the UN Arms Inspectors never found any WMD’s. In fact, Bush had them removed so he could start the war.

Nice try again but history has again proven that argument wrong.

Try pulling the wool over someone else’s eyes; it won’t work here.

The SnowWitch.

The snow witch had been planning a real speech for some time; the old fashioned kind, where you say more than one word.

She practiced in front of a mirror. She gesticulated wildly for emphasis. She paused at critical points for drama. She varied her tone and at some parts would yell out at the top of her lungs. She would be ready.

The day of her speech arrived and she stood before the throngs, silent. She didn’t move, or say anything for a few minutes. The tension grew quickly as the seconds passed and she just stood there looking at her audience, who were on pins and needles. More seconds passed, another minute, how long would she wait. The electricity was unbearable. Then, unexpectedly, she took a drink of water. That broke some of the tension and murmurs of remarks could barely be heard, but it was soon as quiet as a tomb again and still the SnowWitch did not flinch or say a word.

The agony of silence was broken anticlimaticly when the SnowWitch uttered in a barely audible, low voice….”Ladies and Gentlemen, Pointy heads, Fellow Pundits, Bloggers, Council Members, members of the army, members of the gentry, and of course, the rabble…..”

She started in such a low volume that the pointy heads were leaning forward in their seats to try to glean some phrase or every other word or something….

The Snow Witch then spoke at times in normal tones at normal volume, and at other times in shrieks of outrage and dissent, and the pointy heads settled back, totally absorbed in the main body of the SnowWitch’s address……and when the speech was finished, the Pointy Heads had their scapegoat, a group who had previously gone under the radar, a group who was most certainly responsible for all that had gone wrong in the past…..it took the SnowWitch to see it, and to point it out to the pointy heads who lived in the land of the pundits…..

Blah Blah Blah (your quote) just shows you really have nothing to say about why we actually went into Iraq in the first place. I guess you’ve conviniently forgotten about the administration quotes on Iraq having WMD’s

Uh-huh:

According to the report, a large stockpile of concentrated natural Uranium, known as “yellowcake,” reached a Canadian port to complete a top secret U.S. operation that included a two-week airlift from Baghdad, and a ship voyage crossing two oceans. The Uranium material had been housed at a former IraqiJerry Curry nuclear complex 12 miles from Baghdad.

Aahhh, yes, thee yellow cake that Mrs. Plame was looking for.

and how the administration erroneously tried to tie Iraq and 9/11.

Yep-

It is the little-discussed original indictment of bin Laden, obtained by the Justice Department in spring 1998 — several weeks before the embassy bombings and at a time when the government thought it would be prudent to have charges filed in the event an opportunity arose overseas to apprehend bin Laden. Paragraph 4 of that very short indictment reads:

Al Qaeda also forged alliances with the National Islamic Front in the Sudan and with the government of Iran and its associated terrorist group Hezballah for the purpose of working together against their perceived common enemies in the West, particularly the United States. In addition, al Qaeda reached an understanding with the government of Iraq that al Qaeda would not work against that government and that on particular projects, specifically including weapons development, al Qaeda would work cooperatively with the Government of Iraq.

Not only that, Has Been Laden specifically called for jihad against America because we were bombing Iraq, try reading a book, toady.

Nice try on re-writing history. Nice reason to kill 4000 Americans, maim 30,000 Americans and waste $ 1 Trillion dollars.

Gee, for some reason, I find this far less appalling than the liberals getting 59,000 Americans killed in Vietnam and then cutting and running like cowards.

The Bush administration killed and wounded more Americans than Al-Qaeda ever did and they’re going to get away with it.

Who do you think killed those Americans in Iraq, moron? While being slaughtered wholesale, no less.

The UN Mandate you quoted was never proven to be in breach because the UN Arms Inspectors never found any WMD’s. In fact, Bush had them removed so he could start the war.

Read carefully dimwit:

That Iraq was in material breach of the ceasefire terms presented under the terms of Resolution 687. Iraq’s breaches related not only to Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs), but also the known construction of prohibited types of missiles, the purchase and import of prohibited armaments

During Senator Obama’s first 8 eight months of elected service he sponsored over 820 bills.

He introduced 233 bills regarding healthcare reform, 125 bills on poverty and public assistance, 112 bills on crime fighting, 97 economic bills, 60 human rights and anti-discrimination bills, 21 ethics reform bills, 15 gun control, 6 veterans affairs and many others. In his first year in the U.S. Senate, he authored 152 bills and co-sponsored another 427. These included: (1)the Coburn-Obama Government Transparency Act of 2006 that became LAW, (2)The Lugar-Obama Nuclear Non-proliferation and Conventional Weapons Threat Reduction Act that became LAW, (3)The Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act that passed the Senate, (4)The 2007 Government Ethics Bill that became LAW, (5)The Protection Against Excessive Executive Compensation Bill that is in committee just to name a few.

Sarah Palin doesn’t “blink” when faced with lies. She’s a governor and knows about politics and the news media. Evidently you know their tactics.

Since Reagan, the Republicans have argued that governmental regulations prevented the nation from enjoying the bounties that flowed from a pure “free market”. The recent meltdown in the financial markets indicate just how naďve and out of touch the conservative philosophy really is. The current – and likely to change- estimate of the scope of the bailout is $700 billion. Moreover, the auto industry also wants to be rescued from its incompetence, so expect another $50 billion in bailout requests.

Over the years, conservative politicians and bloggers have periodically assailed the “entitlement culture” as the term relates to welfare policy, yet they are strangely silent when the taxpayer is asked to pay for the reckless excesses of the corporate elite;No demands for accountability ; no sense of outrage at the stupidity of the excesses . No calls to eliminate the root causes of the current crisis.

McCain is hopeless. At the peak of the financial meltdown, McCain declared that the fundamentals of the economy were despite the growing size of the bailout and the current levels of unemployment. Throughout his Senate career he has promoted de-regulation, but now he wants everyone to think that he is a tough minded regulator.

As a side bar comment, those conservative bloggers who think liberals are afraid of Gov, Palin are clearly delusional. I would formally like to thank the Republicans for nominating a VP candidate who has been discredited so easily. According to a recent poll, 62% of the nation has serious concerns regarding Palin’s qualifications to hold high office.

Isn’t it just like a lib to accuse somebody of lying and then to prove their claim, unleash a torrent of………………………….lies?

Her public image as a moderate politician who respects dissent is also — well — largely apocryphal. Early in her tenure as mayor of Wasilla, Palin showed she knew how to fight dirty and vanquish her opponents. She succeeded, eventually, in running off the popular Wasilla librarian, who didn’t take kindly to the mayor’s inquiries about banning books. Palin fired the city attorney when he issued a stop-work order on a home being built by one of her campaign supporters, according to The New York Times.

As governor, Palin stepped up her game, cloaking her actions in secrecy, using private e-mail accounts to shield her official communications from public records and putting a premium on loyalty among her staff. And she has used every Cheney-like maneuver at her disposal to try to quash an official investigation into charges that she improperly fired Walt Monegan, former state Commissioner of Public Safety, because he refused to do Palin’s bidding — firing her ex-brother-in-law, state trooper Mike Wooten, who had been through a nasty divorce from Palin’s sister.-Queen Pinko, Urinal/PMS.

Biden’s miserly charitable giving jibes fairly exactly with the findings in Arthur Brooks’ Who Really Cares? which reports that “those who say they strongly oppose redistribution by government to remedy income inequality give over 10 times more to charity than those who strongly support government intervention, with a difference of $1,627 annually versus $140 to all causes,” a gap not explained away by discrepancies in religious giving. Last year, the tax returns of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) show charitable giving of 27.3 percent to 28.6 percent of his income.

It was the first time Palin had answered questions from voters since McCain chose her for the ticket, and the campaign could not have found a safer environment.

Boisterous, blissful Republicans cheered her every utterance. Many questions seemed designed more to allow her to answer critics than to elicit her views. One woman asked about criticism that “you can’t be a woman and the vice president” and added quickly, “Which, of course, you can.”

By the way, for those knuckle-draggers who are counting on the “Bradley effect” to escort the old, mentally and physically feeble white guy to the White House, eat this.

“Of course some people are racist, and will vote against Obama because he is black — I have met some of them. But the Bradley Effect concerns something different — whether such people are likely to lie about their behavior to pollsters. There is simply no empirical evidence that the Bradley Effect exists any longer. It did not exist in the primaries, and it did not exist in the 2006 Senate race in Tennessee, which was perhaps the most racially-tinged contest of the past decade (in fact, Harold Ford slightly outperformed the late polls).”

McCain has wrapped himself in a veil of lies. The McCain of 2000 that many admired is deceased and reborn is the McCain of 2008 who is a puppet of the Rove team of dirty politics. They picked Palin for him and made a mockery of this election. McCain is struggling to appear on the side of the people. His record demonstrates that he is not. He supports permanent tax cuts for the extremely wealthy, tax cuts for major corporations even when they ship jobs overseas, and further tax payer support of Big Oil in a era of record oil profits. His latter-day populism is as cynical as his choice of Sarah Palin who can’t see Wall St. from Alaska. McCain is running hard from his 26 year legislative legacy, his anti-oversight financial guru, Phil Gramm and from his total acceptance of Bushonomics over the past eight years. His message changes daily. How can anyone have confidence in his ad hoc policies? The vast majority of criticism of Obama is mindless hate speech.

I’m really, really, getting tired of listening to the GOP spew hate over and over again, not to mention the extreme hypocrisy in their words and actions.

The GOP really needs to rename their party the NAZI party. They follow the same philosophies in politics as laid down by Goebbels, right down to the sequence of talking points that Faux News and the politicians use to try and discredit their opponents.

If you would agree that a person empowered and required to administer the laws and affairs of a nation is the definition of executive, I fail to see how PTA or for that matter 21 months of governing a sparsely populated state in the frozen waste of Alaska qualifies Gov. Sarah Palin.

Yet she claims more experience than the one-term U.S. senator who seeks our votes. At least he is articulate, intelligent, without scandal and has impressed most with his rhetoric when challenged by detractors who question his choice of a place to worship, his ethnicity and the other ridiculous examples that have been introduced.

We would do well to consider that the consensus choice for the all-time best president is Lincoln and he was the least experienced, and the most experienced, James Buchanan, is neck and neck with George W. as the worst.

Mr. Obama has allied himself with a very experienced No. 2 man and seems to offer more hope and has given specifics as to how he plans to proceed. We must remember we were saddled with five years of a do-nothing Republican majority Congress and for eight with their president, and all agree that change must come.

I just haven’t heard specifics from Mr. McCain, only sweeping scare tactics of threatened tax increases. Does he not see the deficit that George Bush and Dick Cheney have gotten us into? We can’t just keep printing money — our dollar is in terrible shape on the world exchange, as is.

The dimocrats just keep on with it:

So how did we get here in the first place, gee, was it dimocrats in Congress and the White House “modifying the terms of primary mortgages” by forcing the lending institutions to give mortgages to deadbeats?

And now the libs in Congress want to lower the interest rates and payment terms for the deadbeats?

Is this the sound of another crash coming in 5 or so years when Congress has the deadbeat paying zero dollars every month while keeping the bank’s house?

Anybody else wonder why there are no investigations into CEO wrongdoing? Wanna bet that the very first question asked of the CEO, like, let’s say “how much do you make,” was answered by the CEO shaking the 1993 “banking reform and community development act” in the face of the inquisitor, which in turn caused the inquisitor to write the CEO a check for $1,000,000,000,000?

This bailout is nothing but hush money, with the very real caveat of economic ruin prevention, but a cover up none the less.

A cover up for all of the ruinous democrat meddling in the mortgage lending business.

*On September 18, 2008 John McCain’s Campaign, published a campaign ad that quoted the Washington Post’s claim that Franklin Raines advises Barack Obama on economic matters. The ad also notes that “Raines made millions and then left Fannie Mae while it was under investigation for accounting irregularities”. Both Raines and the Obama Campaign claim that Raines is not an Obama advisor and has never advised Senator Obama. When the claim that Reines was an Obama advisor appeared multiple times in the Washington Post (first July 16th) months before the McCain ad, the Obama campaign didn’t seek a correction however they did seek a correction from the Post after the ad appeared. *

That pretty much sews up the fact that Obama is a liar. You tools on the left keep hooting for your token.

Corporal,

To say that feminists do not like Palin because she is attractive is the MOST sexist thing I have heard today. Why do men think ALL woman are catty and petty?

Her stance on the ISSUES is what I do not like about Palin. She is Pro-gun, Anti-choice, and Anti-science. And that is why I do not like her. End of the story.

I also think people in the White House need to be better educated. We have already had 8 years of McDumb, any years with McHosehead will be too many.

The reality is that success in Iraq has confounded the political left, which placed a huge political bet on our defeat. Senator Reid famously declared the war lost in April 2007. Joe Biden introduced a resolution opposing the surge. And Hillary Clinton said the reports of progress in Iraq required “a willing suspension of disbelief.” In the Democratic narrative, our troops in Iraq are victims of a lost cause, not heroes. They’re allowed to get maimed and killed, but not to succeed.

Earlier this week, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Armed Services Chairman Carl Levin teamed up to block a vote on a bipartisan resolution “recognizing the strategic success of the troop surge in Iraq” and thanking our men and women in uniform for their efforts.

I thought the liberals “supported” the troops?

The Forgotton Sermon

By the Forgotten Messiah

Today’s sermon is about revenge: Don’t. Forgive instead. B quick 2 4give.

B quick 2 4give. You don’t know all the facts. You could be the wronging party.

Look at the AIG bailout. Congress must forgive the corrupt, the bankrupt, and the abruptly inept. They must look past the Liar Loans, the Ninja Loans, the Pirate Loans, and the people at every level of the transaction who committed and then fell victim to their own fraud, perjury, deception, and greed. Confess, America, and for your penance, you must say “no” to two credit card offers, three no- money-down auto leases, and then drive past 5 ATM machines without withdrawing any cash. Now go and sign no more.

B quick 2 4give. History is full of unnecessary revenge.

Look at the Garden of Eden. The snake could simply have been a grocer trying to market the apple. He going to say whatever it takes to sell that apple. “Oh, you’ll be a genius if you eat this apple, you wont die, au contraire mon frere, an apple a day keeps the doctor away. It’s good for you.” Forgive the snake, even if he offered terms or discount coupons to Eve.

The snake could also have been a student who was trying to impress his teacher, Eve. Eve was the first snake whisperer, perhaps.

Forgive the snake, even though Christian lore has the Virgin Mary crushing the snake with her heel at some point in the ecclesiastical fulfillments of supernatural prophesy… I guess she couldn’t forgive the snake. Perhaps Mary was the first dog(matic) whisperer. (sorry).

The liberals see a chance to suck blood in every situation:

There is one way to maintain that progress without asking OPEC to keep prices high, and that’s for the government to set a floor on the price of oil with a variable tax. If the price rose back above, say, $110 per barrel, the feds would collect no tax; as it dropped below that, the government could levy sufficient tax to keep the price at the equivalent of $110 per barrel, to rise by a predictable percentage every year. Investors in wind and solar power would have certainty.-Washington Post

“House Republican staffers met with roughly 15 lobbyists Friday afternoon, whose message to lawmakers was clear: Don’t load the legislation up with provisions not directly related to the crisis, or regulatory measures the industry has long opposed. “We’re opposed to adding provisions that will affect [or] undermine the deal substantively,” said Scott Talbott, senior vice president of government affairs at the Financial Services Roundtable, whose members include the nation’s largest banks, securities firms and insurers.

A deal killer for the group: a proposal that would grant bankruptcy judges new powers to lower the principal, interest rate or both on a mortgage as part of a bankruptcy proceeding.”

Editorial stolen from the New York Times and Greenspan’s book: The banning of short selling is dangerous. The only path to clear valuation of securities is short selling, (Greenspan), and without it, then an artificial bubble could occur.(NY times)

The underlying worthlessness (sic) of the bad debt instraments has not changed with this bailout.

Determining the true asset value of each block of bad debt is a pipe dream.

More corruption, more bad money after bad money is like giving a patient a sugar pill instead of the antidote. (sic)

The history of our economy has been a cycle of boom and bust, boom and bust. With this bailout desperation, a natural cycle becomes an unpredictable loose cannon which may have been set into destruct mode by innopportune tampering by corrupt representatives of the frightened gentry and the dumb-founded smart-monied.(sic)

Zardari left Sunday for New York, where he will meet Bush for the first time since taking over the presidency. Bush, along with leaders from around the world, denounced the latest bombing.

“This attack is a reminder of the ongoing threat faced by Pakistan, the United States and all those who stand against violent extremism,” he said.

Alas poor Wiper is convinced that everybody and anybody who voted against the most incompetent and some of the least ethical men to ever occupy the West Wing, is an Obamaniac.

And predictably the half-wit declares himself the winner, before the game even ensues.

Laughably pathetic.

What else can one expect from these “lies are truth, failure is success and we do no wrong” bunglers and this pitiable, sheep “base” of “woe is me, life is so unfair and the liberal media, including Mr. Bookman is the cause”.

Wiper, it is obvious that as one of the utterly misguided, dwindling, die-hard BushCo apologists you think you know everything, when in reality you choose to know precious little, as evidenced by the fact that I voted against Kerry and Gore, you presumptuous clown.

Maybe you need to need to put on your big boy pants and acquaint yourself with the old adage, “Better to be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt”.

Because trust me, after that and numerous other juvenile and meritless claims of yours, anybody who has been here a while and knows my politics, knows beyond the shadow of a doubt what I have REPEATEDLY stated.

And it ain’t that I’m voting for Obama.

Simply put, you are another of the always enraged who is full of bullhockey and asinine assumptions, and who relies almost exclusively upon presumptive personal attacks and insults.

Like the handful of “conservative” goofballs here, you have learned well form Mr. Rove and Mr. Chambless, yes?

But even bigger, you just won’t see what miserable failures these fraud conservative neo-cons have been, will you?

Too close to home, I suspect.

And as just another garden-variety, chest-pounding, chicken hawk enabler, you simply cannot admit that your now-repudiated, never was remotely conservative, ideology is generally irrelevant.

How otherwise can you explain the historic a$$-whipping you nematodes took in the last election?

You do understand historic, don’t you Wiper?

Your faux conservatives lost every single contested seat and took none. Nary. Nada. Zilch. A slaughter of epic and humiliating proportions. And you ostriches will never acknowledge or even consider it.

The final count, Wiper? 36 - 0!!! OUCH!!! That’s gotta hurt your feelings a little.

But WAIT! It gets even better!

Will you recall your multitude of knuckle-dragging Bush-lite candidates ALL getting embarrassed by and losing to an septuagenarian RINO maverick? A man who is despised by that lovable Rovian smear machine and your RepubliCon power brokers?

And now some of you more gutless, feign admiration and support for him!!!

(I think the secret service needs to be VERY watchful as it would not surprise me at all if someone in the right wing’s lunatic fringe tries to take him out and get the eminently qualified Ms. Palin in as prez. You know another good southern cracker like the one who shot up that “liberal” children’s play in Tennessee).

Like myself, more Americans than not, could see that McCain was the ONLY man on that stage with ANY courage or valor and ANY willingness to put the country before this self-serving, inept GOP.

And I said so back then. And voted for him.

In other words, he is the antithesis of you craven, me-first, hide behind your mommy’s skirts, never-served, never-will neo-liths.

And now two years later the outlook is again REALLY bleak for the remaining pedophiles. etc. in your Ronnie/Newt, scandal-ridden, completely hijacked, lunatic-fringed Republican Party.

So I see, and fully understand, why as an already enraged neo-con, you are HYPER-p!ssed now. Particularly after watching millions of Americans over these past two years cutting and running from BushCo as fast as their girly legs will carry them.

You and dustmite and duhng beetle notwithstanding.

Yet, I truly hope the GOP is capable of reinventing itself and returning to a sane, reasonable party.

McCain, Hagel, Chafee and Coleman offer some hope

It would be great for the nation if that could happen, but I sense that it will take several more humiliating elections before the “faithful” begrudgingly see the light and toss out the political frauds and theocratic charlatans.

Otherwise, your non-conservative “conservative” time has come and gone. About 12 years. Like the Third Reich.

“The one thing that frightens me more than anything else are the ideologues. We’ve seen too many,” said 80-year-old Air Force veteran Donn Spegal, a lifelong Republican from St. Petersburg, who sees McCain’s new running mate as the kind of “wedge issue” social conservative that has made him disenchanted with his party.

“I’m truly offended by Palin,” said Republican Philinia Lehr, 37, of Largo, a full-time mother with a nursing degree who voted for George Bush in 2004. Like Palin, she has five children and she doesn’t buy that the Alaska governor can adequately balance her family and the vice presidency.

“You’re somebody’s mom and what are you going to do, say, ‘Excuse me, country, hold on?’ … She’s preaching that she’s this mom of the year and taking that poor little baby all over everywhere. And, you know, what she’s doing to her 17-year-old daughter is just appalling.” Lehr said she’s bothered by the way Palin’s pregnant daughter has been brought into the national spotlight.

Of the 11 undecided voters participating in the discussion one recent evening at the Times — four Republicans, five Democrats, and two registered to no party — only two Republican men applauded the selection of Palin.

[[Palin was asked what specific foreign policy experience qualifies her to be vice president.]]

[[a lot more convincing if the outsider in question had been paying serious attention to national and international issues the past few years.]]

I’ve been waiting with some interest to see how Democrats would resolve the whole ‘experience’ question once Palin was picked, given that was the attack line Hillary used (didn’t work) and McCain adopted. Seems many of the ‘experience’ questions are interchangeable for Obama and Palin. Numerous pundits said McCain gave up the ‘experience’ attack line when he picked Palin. Maybe he gave it up - but Democrats reclaimed it.

Anyhow, Jay finally gave us the only answer I’ve heard to differentiate the experience issue between Obama and Palin: Obama’s been paying attention. Not just attention, but serious attention. For the past few years.

ABC Panel Tears Into McCain: Not Presidential, Age Should Be An Issue

By Alicia

September 21, 2008 3:28 PM | Link to this

McCain talks about putting country first: if he had put country first, he would have selected the best and most experienced person among Republican ranks to serve as his VP.

Instead he selected Palin. Palin may have her strengths and may have done some good things in Alaska, but I cannot see how anyone can say that she is the best person he could have chosen to be his VP.

Let’s be brutally honest here, he chose her because he wanted to appeal to women and also because she would help galvanize the Republican religious base, which he needs to campaign for him and provide the funding, etc.

So let’s be clear, what McCain did was to put the Republican party and his career first and country last by choosing as his VP a person whose views are diametrically opposed to his own on a number of issues and who could, quite realistically, become president should McCain be elected and then incapacitated.

It’s despicable - it is clear that he chose Palin as his VP for purely political gain. His being president is much more important to him than the welfare of the United States.

Palin stated “she didn’t keep up with the war in Iraq.” She abused her power while in office in Alaska. She’s staunchly anti-abortion. She has not been willing or able to answer questions on key political issues.

I do not want this person influencing the policies of my country. When McCain picked her, it was clear to me that he was not concerned about substance or any of my concerns as an everyday American.

She does wear pretty suits. However, that is not enough to get my vote, and I don’t think other people are falling for it, either.
