Just who is John McCain? That is my biggest question.

I fear he has completely capitulated to the “the Republican Machine”. If elected, will he revert to the real John McCain or will he continue on with this charade? Because believe me, it is quite the charade. Before he chose this Palin woman as his VP, I had comfort in either man becoming President. McCain had somewhat proven himself as above the party BS, had shown to have a more reality based view point than the current buffoons in the White House. Now I just do not know what to think. John McCain is the “Incredible Hulk” and I do not mean that in a good way, you won’t like him when he is angry.

I agree with Jay on the choosing of Palin as someone that the blanks can be filled in as one sees fit. I will go one step further though. I believe she is the party’s hedge bet. I think they see McCain as old and cancer stricken and she is a way to get a back door President that can be completely manipulated, another Bush, a little too dumb to even notice the maneuvering.

Be afraid America, be very, very afraid.

Good morning all. I partially disagree with our genial host this morning. While I agree the loony left has been on a feeding frenzy, manufacturing lies about Mrs. Palin and her family, I think the insanity has mostly passed now. While none of our moonbats here have yet apologized for even the obvious lies – parentage of the newborn, for example – they have begun to rein in the crazy stuff. I perceive the motivation is more political than moral – they realized they were pushing the center to the right with the crazy lies, and thus arrested their bizarre stories.

To my point: I think our leftist friends will agree that the criminal invasion of Mrs. Palin’s privacy ought to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Republishers of the stolen private materials ought to be prosecuted, as there is no good faith “public policy” angle to the stolen materials. Evil deserves condemnation, and I would respectfully ask our leftist friends to affirm the common standard.

McBush\Palin— “Campaign First!”

By Road Scholar

September 18, 2008 8:43 AM | Link to this

“Run against him as a Bush clone, goad him into over-reacting, prompting a display of ill temper, and count on a few senior moments…”

So, Jim, you admit these faults of McCain! You left out flip flopping (as recently as this week concerning the Financial situation).

Sarah Palin is a vibrant personanlity. That said, anyone who has their personal e-mail account hacked into should be p** and it is a violation of law. But were they “political operatives”? How do you know? Do you have additional info you’d like to share?

The attraction to hack in is partially her fault. I am not justifying breaking the law. If when doing the state’s or City’s business you used the state network, then she may not have had this attraction to hack. Besides there is a way to discuss things w/o content records; it’s called a phone call.

Maybe it was the Feds looking for terrorists. Remember under recent legislation, you do not have to have just cause to investigate, wire tap, or seize information….the Bush way. While now you hide behind the law and the constitution, the repubs have continued to shred both. But now you want to use it. The same goes for lieing.

Drilling for oil in U.S. won’t help gas prices Editorial Athens Banner-Herald | Story updated at 6:45 pm on 9/17/2008

Paul Sakuma/Ap Gas prices are seen posted at World gas station last week in Sunnyvale, Calif.

Just when the sting of filling up at the gas station had begun to ease after the summer price spike, drivers once again are having to dig deep at the pump. Gasoline prices skyrocketed to new highs Sunday because of concerns about hurricane damage to Gulf Coast oil rigs and refineries and a surge in demand for gasoline driven by rumors of shortages and fears of ever-rising costs.

Anyone who hoped that this summer’s foray into $4 a gallon gas was just a one-time ordeal and that prices would settle back down to Earth surely now must know turbulence in our energy markets is here to stay.

Politicians - especially those in the midst of election campaigns - are peddling their fix for our energy woes. For Republicans, and even some Democrats, the solution can be reduced to a simple slogan: “Drill baby drill.” By expanding U.S. oil drilling offshore and in areas previously off limits, such as the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, they argue we can increase supplies, lower prices and become less dependent on oil-rich foreign countries. Democrats argue increasing fuel efficiency and exploring alternative sources, such as wind, solar, fuel cells and natural gas, are the keys to lower costs and energy independence.

These strategies make for good sound bites, but even under the most optimistic circumstances and timelines, their benefits are years, if not generations, away.

While the issue of whether to grant more offshore drilling rights is dominating the energy discussion these days, it’s worth remembering it takes five to 10 years for a new offshore oil drilling site to be located and begin production. And, as we’ve seen in the past week, locating such facilities along the Gulf Coast carries inherent risks during hurricane season. The area, which is home to a quarter of our domestic oil production and almost half of the nation’s refining capacity, has been hit with two hurricanes in the past month that brought the oil industry there to a standstill.

Drilling for more oil isn’t the only long-term fix being bandied about. Republican vice presidential nominee and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has characterized recent progress on a natural gas pipeline in her state as the nation’s salvation from the vice-like grip of foreign energy suppliers. But despite all the ballyhoo, that pipeline exists only on paper and is, at best, a decade away from supplying fuel to the rest of the country.

Lastly, although progress is being made toward developing and expanding alternative fuel technologies, it will be some time before these options are a cost-effective choice for most consumers. That said, if gas prices continue the steep climb seen in recent years, more and more drivers might decide it’s worth spending money up front for better fuel efficiency down the road.

All this is to say that we need to get used to riding the gas price rollercoaster. No matter which party is in control of the White House or Congress after the November election, our fuel options and costs aren’t likely to improve in the next few years. Until a genuine solution arrives, try easing some of the pain at the pump by turning off the A/C, checking your tire pressure, tuning up the engine, avoiding idling and driving the speed limit. These days, making your car even a little more fuel efficient can pay off.

If I were Sarah, I would be concerned. I would be asking the question, “If they would hack into my e-mail,” what will they do next? All Americans should be concerned. This is a form of terrorism.

Regarding the use of a personal e-mail account for public use, I held an important position at a company a couple years ago. It was a large company and e-mail was the primary vehicle for communication. I was a driven manager, as were many others. We took our work home. Much of our work included sending reports to each other via e-mail. I never would have asked the company to provide me with an e-mail account for home use. Instead, I used my own internet service (which I payed for) to tap into the company’s e-mail via a special address.

I believe that there is not enough focus on the terrorist nature of this e-mail attack. To focus on the fact that Sarah used her personal e-mail account (which she payed for) in government business, is just trivial.

Well, if this ain’t a case for Law and Order, I don’t know what is.

I say the guvmint needs to use its spying power to track down the person that stole the e-mails. We already look at everybody’s e-mails and listen in on their phone calls anyway. As part of the War on Terrists, of course. Just hire more people to go thru everybody’s PC. You don’t need a warrant no more. And while you are at it, go ahead and publish the name and address of every librul that writes in on this blog.

Something else is bothering me though. What kind of cheapskate state uses Yahoo e-mail for state business? Everybody knows when you use Yahoo you do it to keep from paying anything. Don’t Alaska have any money, with all that oil?

Well, I’ll go ahead and post this. I’m here at a gas station hiding in a broom closet to keep people from seeing what I’m writing. It’s kind of dark, but if people don’t know I’m in here, they won’t be able to steal what I write.

If Sarah Palin wasn’t using personal email accounts for government business, I don’t think anyone would be interested in her personal email accounts. Once you began to do government business with a personal email account, it’s NO LONGER PERSONAL or an invasion of privacy.

To make this clear: The ‘hack’ wasnt done by ‘the lefts’ or even by ‘hackers’. It was a bored 20yo who read in the news about Palins yahoo-adress. He didnt ‘hack’ the account. He just used the ‘dont remember your pw?’ funtion, wich asked you 3 questions in order to change the pw. This 3 questions were: 1. Birthday. 2. Zip-Code 3.The place you first met your husband. Information that is widely available. Even moreso that she is now a VP-candidate.

It is very DISTURBING, that someone who could get the power of the POTUS is so NAIVE (not to say dumb) to use an so badly secured private-mail adress for confident conversation.

You have to ask yourself this: If even a 20yo boy can OUTWIT Mrs. Palin, how will she stay up against SERIOUS Threads like terrorists or the Russian and Chinese Intelligence agncies?

I have a friend who used to be a contracted, professional hacker used by various large companies. They hired him to test their defenses against intrusions by other hackers.

Wait until he or someone like him cracks Obama’s and Biden’s email accounts and posts their private communications onto the internet. Hmmmmmmmm.

What’s good for the goose is good for the gander…. Politics is war. It ain’t gonna change.

Be careful lefties…. Obama hasn’t been been crowned emperor of America yet. Maybe he should remove the “President” tag on the back of his seat in his chartered plane until he finishes the race. Oh yeah… We still have this thing called an election. You need to win it to become the President of the United States.

This reminds me of those liberals who believe that every child should receive a trophy whether or not they win just so nobody’s feelings get hurt. The world is a tough place. Somebody wins and somebody loses. Every single poll tells us this race is dead even. Anything is possible in November.

Hollywood and Northeastern liberals can’t stand people who think differently than they do. They love to blather on about unity but WTF does that mean??? Unity…. huh???

In my opinion they tend to be the most dismissive, arrogant, self-rightous, naive, passive, gutless, socialist, and godless people in the country. They call other people stupid if they have a different opinion. They try to censor opposing viewpoints or speakers if they don’t like what they hear. Unity???? huh????

A radio station in Chicago had an author on who wrote a book that the Obama campaign didn’t like. They actually tried to prevent the station from broadcasting the interview… Sounds like Hugo Chavez or Vladamir Putin to me. Drink their Kool-Aid or you are a Nazi…. huh??????

I can’t stand George Bush, or Cheney or Rumsfeld or Ashcroft. I would have prefered to see someone like Mike Bloomberg or Ron Paul on the ticket. However, I believe in the concept of free speech and will defend that right to my death if necessary.

Hacking emails is just the start of what these whack-jobs are about to do. Put your seatbelts on tight. This is going to ugly.

Dear Goldie @ 8:50, no, I disagree that (1) a covert pursuit of terrorists who hold malicious intent is in a class with (2) publishing private correspondence of an individual. I understand your unwillingness to differentiate the former legal and justifiable use of government guns from the latter unjustifiable breach of decency – it’s a leftist thing.

Dear Jason @ 9:06, ok, I’ll bite – why is use of a private email service a violation of “public records laws?” Sounds ridiculous to me, but I’ll entertain an argument. Do the laws also outlaw private written diaries or use of a personal cell phone?

I am a conservative democrat from the Midwest. I am not as concerned sir as you suggest about the Governor from Alaska. I do, however, think you miss the point. Our nation is in no condition to elect a VP for President. We are in the midst of an economic crisis and, well, the GOP Presidential nominee admits that he doesn’t know much about the economy.

In a capitalist nation, being on the Hill over 20 years, McCain should be ashamed of himselves, not only McCain but the Arizonians that have voted him into office over and over again.

I can see how some Republicans would think that this hacking was done by Obama, because you are IDIOTS. Do you really think that He would sacrifice an election to read her private email. Palin could have had sex with a bear and her followers would still think that she is the best thing to come along since sliced bread. This was probably done by the McCain camp as an excuse to delete her email account so that she doesn’t have to present the evidence in the ” troopergate ” investigation. Judging by that town hall meeting with McCain, she is still the straight man in a Las Vegas lounge act.

Another article about how the left is scared of Palin, about how everyone is attacking her, etc.

Palin came out with both barrels blazing at the RNC, dissed the media, called out Obama, practically slapped him across the face with a white glove challenging him to a duel - and then when the fight SHE picked begins, her and her crybaby cheering squad begin squawking about “unfair treatment” and “sexism” and “media bias”.

Yes, this is real rational conservatives: explicitly declare your mislike and distrust of the media in front of an audience of 40 million as one of your main selling points, then whine when the media doesn’t treat you with kid gloves. Launch a salvo of sarcastic jibes at your opponent and then cry “sexism” when his campaign fires back.

Either stop picking fights you don’t want to have, or stop whining when the person you want to fight with actually fights back. I’ve never seen such a group of hypocritical crybabies in my life, the same people who whined for decades about “political correctness” now crying “sexism” every other day. What a joke.

The economy is crashing but the Hollywood liberals have $28,500 per plate for the honor of being in the presence of the annointed one.

In 2005 McCain warned the entire nation about the impending crash of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Nobody listened and the democrats blocked any discussion on the subject in Congress. They did this to allow the lenders to keep giving out dumb loans to people who could never afford to pay them back.

As to the point made by Ragnar to Jason @9:06: Interesting questions. What about personal diraries and cell phone conversations. Would it be ok for the right to publish those or give out phone records on the internet. Would the leftinistas call that fair game.

One more issue…. This election is about McCain versus Obama. Not the VPs. If the leftinistas are so concerned about Palin being a heartbeat away from the presidency maybe they should consider Biden’s two aneurysms. That should be a fair topic for comparison shouldn’t it?

Obama is famous for saying McCain voted with Bush 90% of the time.

I offer a couple of real world cases for our leftists to consider:

(1) A particular government computer is used by committee interns of both parties. An intern of one party discovers an inflammatory memo of political strategy written by an intern of the other party and publishes the memo in the local newspaper. Do we condemn (a) the intern who used a government computer for a partisan political purpose, or (b) the intern who copied and published the inflammatory political memo? (Google “Miranda” “Committee” “strategy” “hack” for the story.)

(2) Am unelected political partisan uses a modified scanner to tape record a cell phone call between two politicians of the opposing party, discussing political strategies. The unelected partisan gives the tape recording to a politician of his own party, who releases the tape to embarrass his opposition. Do we condemn (a) the politician who published the illegal tapes for partisan gain, or (b) the two politicians who plotted strategy using a cell phone? (Google “Boehner” “McDermott” “cell phone” for the story.)

THE Captain was alarmed when He saw Mr Wooten’s headline today, thinking that perhaps Our Sarah Plain had taken ill with consumption, or perhaps had finally choked on the robotic repition of Her bull dung replete stump speech and was bringing up a rather pesky furball.

But thankfully, no. For God is great, and he would never smite one of his glossolalia gals. He has sent Her on this mission, and will see Her through.

But THE Captain would like to take this opportunity to warn all True Believers of a pending slander against St John Himself. Forewarned is forearmed, THE Captain always says, regardless of context.

It seems that some fancy pants Hispanico journalist was playing GOTCHA with Our Favorite, and set out to stump Him with trick questions about leaders of obscure and unimportant nations like Spain. (if there really is such a country. It could have been a trick question, like “Do you pronunce the capital of Kentucky loo-eee-ville or lou-uh-ville. A: Frankfurt. But THE Captain digresses.)

So be on the lookout for the koming komic kerfuffle as desperate libs try to paint St John as a senile old coot with no real knowledge of world affairs and one of America’s alleged major allies.

For as Wooten says, the Islamoliberals are desperate, and are willing to tar the Plain / McCain ticket with whatever facts they can find, like Our Lady of the Moose and her violation of public records statutes and obstruction of justice in the Troopergate matter. It’s just despicable how low these comsymps are willing to stoop.

Funny, what rage and what frustration does this man refer to?

The angriest, most venomous bloggers here and in the real world are practically always those of the lunatic fringe’s far right wing.

You know, Bush voters.

Those with a pronounced proclivity for violence, as evidenced recently by the good Hannity, O’Reilly and Limbaugh reading “conservative” murdering innocent liberals at a children’s play.

And racism, as demonstrated by the sleazy bar owner in Marietta selling Obama monkey t-shirts.

This over hyped, loud-mouthed element of the repulsive Republicons is no longer fooling anybody but their dwindling selves.

America is flat sick and tired of these “agents of intolerance” and incompetent, immoral corrupt bumblers.

And their buffoonish enablers like the mother of all empty sloaganeers, Dustbin.

Jim, the only common sense conservative I have seen so far is Ron Paul. McCain is losing his mind. He doesn’t know if he is coming or going. Palin is a religious fanatic in a very scary way. Someone who says “It’s Gods Will for this, It’s Gods Will for that, or Gods Plan for this, and God’s Plan for that, sure doesn’t belong in the second highest place in the country!

I don’t agree with snooping into someone’s privacy, and that goes for the Republicans doing the same thing too. You fail to mention that they have warrant less wiretaps, phone taps, scanning of our e-mails, and who knows what else.

They argue that if you haven’t done anything wrong then there’s nothing to worry about. Come on!!!

What happened to their claim of LESS GOVERNMENT!

I guess for Republicans LESS IS MORE, more or less. So that’s your idea of common sense conservatism? I would like to see your idea of non-sense conservatism.

By the way since you now have my e-mail address maybe you can hack into my e-mails and check me over in the name of “National Security”.

Like some Republicans say; it’s only illegal if you get caught.

“Dear Jason @ 9:06, ok, I’ll bite – why is use of a private email service a violation of ‘public records laws?’”

From the Alaska Public Records Act: “A person having custody or control of a public record who denies, obstructs, or attempts to obstruct, or a person not having custody or control who aids or abets another person in denying, obstructing, or attempting to obstruct, the inspection of a public record subject to inspection under AS 40.25.110 or 40.25.120 may be enjoined by the superior court from denying, obstructing, or attempting to obstruct, the inspection of public records subject to inspection under AS 40.25.110 or 40.25.120.”

Public records are defined as “books, papers, files, accounts, writings, including drafts and memorializations of conversations, and other items, regardless of format or physical characteristics, that are developed or received by a public agency, or by a private contractor for a public agency, and that are preserved for their informational value or as evidence of the organization or operation of the public agency.”

Therefore, Palin’s use of undisclosed private e-mail accounts(“writings…developed by a public agency”) to discuss government business (the “operation of the public agency”) constitutes “obstructing the inspection of a public record.”

Dear Goldie @ 8:50, I have determined that my short-hand answer to your original thought was inadequate. The road of the law, on invasion of privacy, has a couple of meaningful signposts. The first asks, “Is there a reasonable expectation of privacy?” One who knowingly and willfully parades naked on a public beach cannot claim an expectation of privacy when the pictures show up on the internet. One who shares a secret with a friend on a telephone has an expectation of privacy, save the trust invested in the friend. One who writes free thoughts into a file on a private computer has a reasonable expectation of privacy.

The second signpost asks, “Is there a reasonable countervailing public interest that overcomes an expectation of privacy?” A telephone call between New York City and a rural area in Afghanistan may have an expectation of privacy on both ends, but due to the war against Islamist terrorism, and the government’s specific obligation to protect American lives, there is a countervailing public interest. The public “right to know” is a reasonable countervailing public interest, but only to the extent that public policy is directly affected. The results of Mrs. Palin’s last PAP smear would not be within the public interest.

Real world application of the jbmlaw standards: I think, for example, Joe Biden’s history of aneurysms is within the scope of matters where Mr. Biden would have a reasonable expectation of privacy, and same is not within the “countervailing public interest” exception. If Mr. Biden, for whatever reason, chooses to submit that private matter into the public arena for discussion, I do not challenge commentary as “immoral” on either side thereafter, although I certainly think there would continues to be theoretical commentary I would call “inappropriate.”

Further, where there is an expectation of privacy, even when there is countervailing public interest, the government may not use the “improperly” discovered information in a criminal prosecution. The government’s “use” authority is limited to the preservation of innocent life.

I think Jim spends his weekends writing this cr@p and then just poops one out each day.

No one cares about Palin anymore, her 5 minutes of fame are gone, and so is any thought McSame had for a lead in the polls. The American people are not as dumb as the repugnants think, and now that everyone has had a chance to see what Palin is all about(or lack there of), we know she will selfdestruct, as she is. The attention is on McSame and his flip-flopping, lies. And there is no worry there either. So Jim, Dusty, and Ragnar, continue to tell yourselves whatever you have to in order to look at yourselves in the mirror. We don’t mind, we know better.

Not so fast, Jason @ 10:34. The statute conveys an authority to the courts to compel disclosure of a public record. The statute does not permit a thief to steal records. You affirm that Mrs. Palin violated the law. When did the court issue an order compelling disclosure? Or are you merely lying like a leftist?

Dear Liz @ 10:38, of course email is private, it always has been and always will be so long as a “password” is necessary for access. A user has a reasonable expectation of privacy unless disabused of the expectation (e.g., a company advises employees that “emails are monitored.”)

“The statute does not permit a thief to steal records.” I never said it did. No doubt, the hacker acted illegally.

“You affirm that Mrs. Palin violated the law. When did the court issue an order compelling disclosure?” Until recently, no one, including the courts, knew these e-mail accounts existed, aside from those corresponding with Palin. Consequently, the information transmitted through these accounts—which we now know pertained to government business—was inaccessible to the public, a violation of the Alaska Public Records Act.

Dear Jason @ 11:21, you persist in misreading the law. The law does not prohibit use of unconventional record transmission or peculiar methods generally – it merely permits a court to compel production. You affirm that Mrs. Palin “violated” the Alaska Public Records Act, and she plainly did not. You cannot cite anything she has done that violates the law, yet you persist in calling her a “violator.” Rather like citing for a law prohibiting a car from going 100 mph merely because you own a car that can go that fast. Until you actually violate the law, you cannot be branded a violator.

The GOP’s claim that it was Democrats who orchestrated the break-in into Palin’s e-mail account is just more proof of how out of touch the right is. It’s common knowledge among most people that hackers do what they do simply to prove they can. They don’t care one bit about the politics behind it. Hackers saw reports about Palin using personal e-mail for government business (highly unethical behavior) and decided to see if they could get to her account. They didn’t care who she was, just that they’d get attention if they succeeded.

I particularly love the claim that Democrats have been desperately trying to dig up dirt about Palin. Truth is, there’s so much of it that they haven’t had to do a thing but sit back and wait for it to surface on its own. The desperation is the GOP trying to cover up the dirt, or cloud the issue with specious claims about “sexism.” Nothing is more sexist than assuming women will support a candidate simply because she’s a woman, with no regard to her actual views on the issutes.

But the more important question is, “Why is the governor of Alaska using a yahoo account for official business?” Are you kidding me? What kind of message about national security does that send if someone can hack a government official’s email like they did Paris Hilton’s phone?

Some of you here have apparently tried and convicted Mrs. Palin,without a trial and without evidence.Perhaps you might want to reconsider.If,somewhere in the future it is proven that Mrs. Palin was in fact, doing government business through a private email account for the purpose of hiding facts from the public then the public will deal with it.Let’s wait until we get the facts.

I don’t think what happened to her was right, but neither do I think that spying on Americans is right either, especially when most of the spying has been done on people just because they dissent and don’t automatically and blindly fall in line like they are ‘supposed to’. or we could use the other GOP BS that’s been used to spy on Americans: “if she doesn’t have anything to hide than she won’t mind people reviewing her e-mails, that is, if she’s not a terrorist”. doesn’t really sound silly now that the shoe is on the other foot?

In June 1972, a security guard at the Watergate complex in Washington D.C. made the innocuous discovery of a taped door lock. The Watergate complex was HQ for the Democratic National Committee then in the midst of a presidential campaign. The security guard called in the police and five men were arrested.

This seemingly innocuous burglary ultimately turned into a wider conspiracy, including illegal wiretapping, sourced by none other than the Committee to Re-Elect the President. Ultimately, in 1974 Richard Nixon was forced to resign.

Hagel WAS a conservative Republican. He is something else now. Who knows what? Which way is the wind blowing?

As to your production of Palin propaganda:

Alaskan Islands are close to Russia. Why do you think we had military bases on them? Did Sarah Palin make a false statement? NOOOO. She simply stated an obvious fact. She did not say that made her a expert on Russia even though Alaska was once owned by Russia and is a part of their history.

That IS what upsets Democrats. They don’t understand straight forward comments. Influenced by their own behavior, they are always SUSPICIOUS.

Why Obama is a Racist

Barack Obama attended the Trinity United Church of Christ, Chicago, Illinois, for almost twenty years. Attended, taught, learned, worshipped and sang along with his wife and children until his abrupt resignation in May 2008. That resignation was brought about due to heightened national awareness of the “nature” of Obama’s congregation. That nature being brought into sharp focus by unsavory sermon tapes of former TUCC minister, Jeremiah Wright. But for all the bluster and ignorance reflected in Wright‘s sermons his ranting from the pulpit only hinted at a deeper, more troubling truth about TUCC and Obama.

What is it that made a purportedly Christian church such a political liability to the first African-American nominated by a major political party? The answer to that question lies in the doctrine and teachings of TUCC. In short, this congregation, unlike ANY other United Church of Christ church in the United States, has adopted, endorsed and actively promotes the doctrine and teachings of James H. Cone. Cone systematized what has been called black liberation theology as outlined in his two books, the first entitled, Black Theology and Black Power and a follow-on, A Black Theology of Liberation. These are the only two books sold by the Trinity United Church of Christ on its website. TUCC doesn’t sell or give away the BIBLE on its website – a circumstance one finds very telling.

The two books mentioned are, to say the least, “interesting” reads. Black Theology and Black Power is the seminal work on black liberation theology and A Black Theology of Liberation is a follow-up. Cone viewed his theology as, “…complete emancipation of black people from white oppression by whatever means black people deem necessary. So-called (white) Christianity, as commonly practiced in the United States, is actually the racist Antichrist.” “Theologically,” Cone affirms, “Malcolm X was not far wrong when he called the white man ‘the devil’.” And there’s more but one quickly gets the picture.

So there you have it, the principal doctrine endorsed and promoted by the Trinity United Church of Christ teaches the overtly racist sentiments of James H. Cone. The preaching and “ignorance”, as some say, of Wright is merely symptomatic of the problem and neglects to see that the entire TUCC congregation accepts the doctrine of Cone under the guise of a Christian church. Wright was just a mouthpiece, it’s the congregation, including Obama, which endorsed and promotes this racist doctrine.

ANY person or group that attempts to systematically demonize another group because of race is, by definition, RACIST.

Needless to say for Obama and his presidential campaign by May 2008 the ‘cat was out of the bag’. And, after twenty years of commitment to TUCC, Barack Obama finally, cynically made a decision to leave. A decision his avid campaign supporter, Oprah Winfrey, made several years earlier as she likewise managed a business agenda with a national scope. One would have to be patently naïve not to understand the motivation behind both departures. Nor is it much of a stretch to acknowledge the release of these sermon tapes focused attention on the fall-guy, Wright, while diverting a direct, and potentially, campaign-ending blow to Obama.

And yet what one is left after all the media lights have dimmed is this unsettling fact. For twenty years Barack Obama accepted the racist doctrine of his church – twenty years. And, only when this inconvenient truth was brought to national light did he decide that maybe that doctrine was no longer acceptable.

I give you the Democratic candidate for the presidency, Barack Obama.

Thus, this affirmative proof of her not guiltiness is sufficient barrier for any charge to ever be brought, because she is already clearly not guilty by virtue of the absence of charge. And this is retroimmune double-smack no crack back proof that any charge, investigation, or subpoena is plainly a purely political ploy perpetrated by the peripatetic pantywaists of the pipsqueak left. And as such can be dismissed out of hand and ignored with impunity. (cf, subpoenas issued for Rove, Myers, et al)

And both are uncharacteristically willing to speak out against this awful administration for rarely putting the nation’s best interests before their utterly screwed up Republican party.

In this case, Hagel states the obvious, the woman is about as ready to be CIC as Lil Georgie Bush, Our Hero of the Texas ANG who risked life and limb in the oft-cited Battle of Alabama,, was.

“John McCain has been all over the map recently, especially when it comes to the economic crisis that’s been hammering Wall Street. He also managed to make some interesting - or rather, bizarre - remarks about Spain on Wednesday. See more articles below on McCain’s actions over the last few weeks.

McCain Remarks Appear To Reject Spain As Ally:

Late Wednesday night, news made its way from the other side of the Atlantic that John McCain, in an interview with a Spanish outlet, had made a series of bizarre responses to a question regarding that country’s prime minister.

“Would you be willing to meet with the head of our government, Mr. Zapatero?” the questioner asked, in an exchange now being reported by several Spanish outlets.

McCain proceeded to launch into what appeared to be a boilerplate declaration about Mexico and Latin America — but not Spain — pressing the need to stand up to world leaders who want to harm America.

McCain Flip-Flops On AIG Bailout: Rejects It Tuesday, Says It’s Okay Wednesday:

Republican presidential candidate John McCain, a day after flatly rejecting the idea of a taxpayer bailout for American International Group Inc., said Wednesday that the government had been “forced” into proposing an $85 billion loan to the nation’s largest insurer.

McCain appeared to soften his opposition to the bailout proposed by the Federal Reserve, treating the plan as a necessary evil to protect ordinary Americans with finanical ties to AIG and asserting that such a financial collapse should not be allowed to happen again. He also called for an investigation to uncover any wrongdoing.

NY Times: McCain All Over The Place On The Economy:

On Monday morning, as the financial system absorbed one of its biggest shocks in generations, Senator John McCain said, as he had many times before, that he believed the fundamentals of the economy were “strong.”

Hours later he backpedaled, explaining that he had meant that American workers, whom he described as the backbone of the economy, were productive and resilient. By Tuesday he was calling the economic situation “a total crisis” and denouncing “greed” on Wall Street and in Washington.

McCain Slams Wall Street “Fat Cats” Who Are His Biggest Donors:

John McCain struck a tough, quasi-populist pose this morning during his morning sweep of the television news shows. Speaking to NBC’s Matt Lauer about the current crisis on Wall Street, the Republican nominee said executives have “treated it like a casino and need to be held accountable and stop walking away with these fat-cat packages.”

Leave aside for the moment the fact that one of McCain’s top economic advisers, former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, walked away with a $42 million “golden parachute” after being fired. Overall, the generic Wall Street “fat cat” is a tough character for McCain to cast as his nemesis, given his success in fundraising among their ranks. As Bloomberg reported Monday night, securities and investment companies have collectively donated millions to both McCain and Barack Obama.

Time’s Joe Klein: “Increasing Numbers Of Otherwise Sober Observers… Are Calling John McCain A Liar”:

Politics has always been lousy with blather and chicanery. But there are rules and traditions too. In the early weeks of the general-election campaign, a consensus has grown in the political community — a consensus that ranges from practitioners like Karl Rove to commentators like, well, me — that John McCain has allowed his campaign to slip the normal bounds of political propriety. The situation has gotten so intense that we in the media have slipped our normal rules as well. Usually when a candidate tells something less than the truth, we mince words. We use euphemisms like mendacity and inaccuracy … or, as the Associated Press put it, “McCain’s claims skirt facts.” But increasing numbers of otherwise sober observers, even such august institutions as the New York Times editorial board, are calling John McCain a liar. You might well ask, What has McCain done to deserve this? What unwritten rules did he break? Are his transgressions of degree or of kind?”

Um, McLiar is losing it.

“Sept. 18 (Bloomberg) — The Democratic-controlled Congress, acknowledging that it isn’t equipped to lead the way to a solution for the financial crisis and can’t agree on a path to follow, is likely to just get out of the way.”

If you peel back the onion, you will see that this “crisis” is the result of paper loans, paper home equity, and paper government control of The Maes, who since the 1990s have been loaning out to losers not capable of repaying loans. Democrat Barnie Frank told the Bush Administration several years ago to back off when the administration wanted more oversight on The Maes. The Democrats’ reasoning was that Bushie & Co. would disenfranchise millions of current and potential homeowners and threaten their “right” to own a home who otherwise wouldn’t get one in the free market (read that as those losers who couldn’t qualify for a traditional mortgage). The truth is out there, and don’t look for the media to dig it up. Also, don’t look for the Democrats like Nancy to do a THING about it other than say “it’s not our fault.” The hell it isn’t, at the VERY least 50% worth anyway.

Let’s be clear here. Nancy Pelosi wants Henry Waxman and Barney Frank to investigate this matter. She is trying to pin these problems on the Bush administration but the truth is the Democrats have caused this problem. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were run by Clinton cronies who received millions of dollars from the organizations. Democrats were in bed with these companies and refused to listen to George Bush when, in 2003, he “recommended the most significant regulatory overhaul in the housing finance industry since the savings and loan crisis a decade ago.”

The administration recognized the problems in this industry and tried to take action to keep problems from arising. This story is from 11 September 2003 which indicates that the President was on top of this more than five years ago. Instead of working with President Bush to make this happen and provide better oversight, the issue was OPPOSED by Congressional Democrats:

Significant details must still be worked out before Congress can approve a bill. Among the groups denouncing the proposal today were the National Association of Home Builders and Congressional Democrats who fear that tighter regulation of the companies could sharply reduce their commitment to financing low-income and affordable housing.

‘‘These two entities — Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac — are not facing any kind of financial crisis,” said Representative Barney Frank of Massachusetts, the ranking Democrat on the Financial Services Committee. ”The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing.”

Representative Melvin L. Watt, Democrat of North Carolina, agreed.

”I don’t see much other than a shell game going on here, moving something from one agency to another and in the process weakening the bargaining power of poorer families and their ability to get affordable housing,” Mr. Watt said.

You OWN this one, stupid Democrats. We’ll get to the bottom of it FOR you.

I have NEVER and I mean NEVER heard my mother say anything remotly racist.
Would you think it wrong if a white person went to a church for 20 years that said things about black people the way that Obama’s church did about whites. Because if a white person goes to a church that does that it is called a Klan meeting. Equality means equal in evry possible way, good and bad.

Number Years they HELD the majority vote in the senate: 11 or 10 or 8 (hint pick one)

Who is Phil Grhamm and what does he have to do with the current banking crisis?

a) The main repuglican fronting the bill AND he was McInsane’s economic advisor.

b) Some guy.

Perhaps if you repuglicans took a good hard look at your history, (without the rose colored glasses); you can see the truth. Since, however, I know that that’s not possible, I’ll leave you with one of your favorite sounds….that of sheep bleating while drinking Kool-aide under the cherry moon.

THE Captain notes that some liberals are likely to trumpet the latest polls that show Our Sarah Plain’s positive/negative numbers have gone from a +17 the day after her acceptance speech to a negative 4 today. Piffle. She remains wildly popular, as all the cable outlets insist.

Just as THE Captain predicted that some liberals — and here came getalife with some trumped up nonsense about the fact that St John does not know who runs Spain, or perhaps even where it is, and that he is an hapless old coot in the early stages of senile dementia. Hell, even THE Captain does not know the name of every head of state for every two-bit Latin American nation, so why would we expect John McCain to know. For God’s sake people, the man was beaten every day for five years and did not even have a table. — Just as THE Captain predicted that scurrilous attack a Decorated POW, He also predicts that Islamunistoliberalsodomites will spend their coming days laughing their skinny little behinds off at the knowledge that the GOP has nominated a woman whose greatest personal accomplishment was taking an alleged super-enthusiastic consecutive hockey and lacrose team train in the back of the First Dude’s F150 in her senior year of high school to (allegedly) raise money for a new snowmobile for Todd. And THE Captain applauds any woman who can stand up, wobble away, and dusty herself off from such a protean effort and rise to within an enfeebled heartbeat of the most powerful job in the world.

THE Captain offers the historical observation that Sarah Plain’s positive/negative number was extremely high the day after the alleged train incident, but that her refusal to interact with any person directly, rather than performing for a crowd, led to her numbers to plummet then, as well.

As a liberal Democrat (and UGA grad) who lives and works in DC, I am amused by JimBob’s suggestion that the democrats are terrified by Palin. You’ve got to be kidding! Every democratic operative I know (and I know a few) is delighted she is on the ticket. There is news every day to remind voters what a bonehead choice McCain made, what it means about his judgment, and why SHE is just another good reason to vote against the Republican ticket. Check out this latest story documenting what a pathological liar she is: http://dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/9/17/17756/8965/82/601976. (McCain, on the other hand is just a flip-flopper and political opportunist.) The post-convention bump is over, and Palin’s ratings are down 10% in one week. Obama is on top of the polls again today. He’s tied in Fla. and 1 percentage point down in North Carolina. In the end, Palin will cost McCain a lot more votes than she adds.

Dear Jason @ 12:09, excellent question: “Why would, and how else could, a court “compel production” if a law wasn’t violated?” Most document production has nothing to do with violation of a law. See, for example FRCP 34 In the context of a governor’s documents such inquiries would normally arise from a “government in the sunshine” request, related to some particular public issue. Plaintiff attorneys – usually democrats, coincidentally - have a long history of abusive voluminous document discovery requests, offered for the sole purpose of harassment, and that is one reason courts are willing to review particular discovery requests. If there was a particular request for information, Ms. Palin would probably request a review of materials in camera so only legally relevant materials would enter the public record.

Dear Fosdick @ 12:10, “Chuck Hagel…A conservative republican from Nebraska”??? Surely you jest. Next you will be telling us about the conservative senators from New York. Hagel is as leftist as half the democrats.

Dear Debbie @ 1:33, I blew away your argument yesterday. The mortgage crisis is strictly a function of the leftists and their laws. Glance at my three or four notes on this blog beginning around 10:45 yesterday. And I would gratefully accept any point therein you wish to dispute.

@ debbie racist hagface

Cheers for poisonously calling McCain - McInsane. I don’t agree with McCain on a number of issues but he ain’t “insane” U sickwarpedblackbitch!!

Hilarious to see ur despicable racebaiting puke is on here YET again!!

Hussein Obama is UNDENIABLY a very nasty BLACK RACIST!!

Hussein Obama gleefully, with not ONE WORD of public dissent/condemnation attended a despicable black KKK church for 20 YEARS and ONLY - when finally exposed in the media did this shameless black racist, kicking and screaming begin to distance itself from Grand Wizard Wright et al.

Hussein Obama publicly says VERY LITTLE @ his “white” side” By very deliberate choice he attended and cheerily paid tithes to a black separatist KKK church. Hussein Obama had numerous far left black racial spoils mentors. It whines publicly @ his black afriKan BIGAMIST ALCOLHOLIC ABUSIVE pappy whose addiction to whitey (actually Scottish) whisky ruined his life - NOT whiteys fault as Hussein OBama likes to intimate. Hussein Obama vilified his white grandmammy, calling her a racist in public. Yet disgustingly and hypocritically refuses to excoriate knuckle dragging black racists Grand Wizard Wright et al for their public, systematic, decades of anti-white racism. His sullen hate filled anti-white elitist wife loathes whites and America. Hussein Obama has OVERWHELMINGLY “sided” with his “black” half. Politically, culturally, racially etc.

@ arsehole vet

MAGIC … keep it coming bubbapuke. Ur sick far left is SUPERB entertainment. racebaiting Hussein Obama scum on its campaign constantly stir the racail spoils pot and U have the bleeding dissembling cheek to call me a “racist”.

No it means that you stereotype people.

If I also say good things after making a comment like that, then which way would your hypothesis bend? Not everyone is all good or bad; everyone has qualities that you like and dislike.

You are saying in your opinion that all or most army wives do the bad things you mentioned about your mom.

I never mentioned any bad things about my mom. I just stated that she was a typical army wife. If you knew a lot of army wives, you wouldn’t automatically assume I was disrespecting her.

I ask you this how would you respond to McCain saying someone is a typical black person? Be truthful now, I believe you would be outragged.

No, I wouldn’t if he KNEW the person he was talking about. I KNOW my relatives, you do not. I can say those things about my relatives because I know their hearts, you don’t. If he made a comment like that about something or someone he had no knowledge of, only going by news reports or innuedos and specualtion then YES i’d be mad. Wouldn’t you?

I’ll bet she could run a government into the ground faster than Obama could run away from Rev. Wright.

Think before you type girlfriend.

The subject today was supposed to be about hacking emails. Did you forget that? Are you so obsessed with your blackness that you forgot that was the topic?

How would you like me to hack your email and post your messages and personal information all over the internet? Maybe I’m already working on it.

Google up DebbieDoRight in about an hour or so…. Getting nervous? Maybe you should be.

But wait…. That would be illegal.

You really gotta hand it to the two stooges - Dustball and The Uber-racist.

Both are proud of their afflictions. One mental and one moral.

Dustball, read this from a real American patriot, not one of your never-served, never-will neo-con stooges:

“She doesn’t have any foreign policy credentials,” Hagel said in an interview published Thursday by the Omaha World-Herald. “You get a passport for the first time in your life last year? I mean, I don’t know what you can say. You can’t say anything.”

Could Palin lead the country if GOP presidential nominee John McCain could not?

“I think it’s a stretch to, in any way, to say that she’s got the experience to be president of the United States,” Hagel said.

McCain and other Republicans have defended Palin’s qualifications, citing Alaska’s proximity to Russia. Palin told ABC News, “They’re our next-door neighbors and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska.”

Hagel took issue with that argument. “I think they ought to be just honest about it and stop the nonsense about, ‘I look out my window and I see Russia and so therefore I know something about Russia,’” he said. “That kind of thing is insulting to the American people.”

Excluding of course, the numskulls Dustball and the Uber-racist.

Anyway, no you did not say anything bad about army wives, but Obama did say that she was a racist, speaking about his grandmother, then only a few moments later called her a typical white women. One could easily imply that a typical white woman is racist. I do not think that to be true. There are white women who are racist, but that does not mean the typical white woman is as Obama stated. No in my example of what if with McCain, if he said for instance my 5th cousin smokes weed all day and does not have a job, then only moment later called his 5th cousin a “typical black person” people would be outragged as they should. Howevr when it happens to be the other way around as in the case with Obama and his relative nothing is even said about it. Does that not seem strange to you that there is a double standard or a white exclusionary clause.

So no it is not an elected position, however all were state jobs since they were state funded schools. So those same laws do apply to me, and they only govern actual business with regards to names, dates, notes. But as long as we do not breach confidentiallity we can discuss business matters on private accounts. So unless you have proof of that then be quite. The ones who broke the law are those that hacked.

Yep Jim, I’d say the left is “hacking” Sarah. Like cats that constantly lick themselves, they’re now choking on their own hairballs.

How keen is McCain when it comes to terroristic threats? He knew beforehand about the left’s domestic terror tactics. That’s why he solicited O’Callaghan of Homeland Security to head off the attacks on Sarah and her family.

Onto another topic……

Just read this online — The federal agency that managed the bailout of the savings and loan industry in the 1980s and 1990s has emerged as the leading model to contain the fallout from Wall Street’s current meltdown.

Say what???? Do you mean to tell me that these same financial problems were encountered in previous administrations? Bill Clinton’s was one of those administrations? Do tell!!!!!

And they’re looking to a costly bureaucratic brain drain to solve the problem?

But while the Senate and House financial services committees plan hearings next week, What…..is that like the same committee that McCain suggested, and OBlahMa scoffed at? top congressional Democrats say any major overhaul of the government’s financial regulatory agencies will have to wait until next year.*

No pre-emptive strike until next year? What do we pay these people for? To hold limbo sessions until after the election while the towers are collapsing around us?

One reason, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said yesterday, is that “no one knows what to do” at the moment.

Has he checked with OBlahMa? Hell…….OBlahMa’s hindsight is always 20/20. John McCain’s foresight was in 2005!!!

It’s hard to believe there are less than 50 days before Election Day.

That’s not a lot of time. And since women voters could decide this election, we have to take this opportunity to talk to our friends and family about what’s at stake.

We’ve seen the power of women throughout this campaign — educating each other about the issues and building this movement by sharing our personal stories.

That’s why, over the next few weeks, women all across Georgia will be reaching out to one another through special Women’s Week of Action phonebanks and canvasses.

On every issue important to women — from access to healthcare and universal pre-school to equal pay for equal work — Barack is the only candidate who can bring about the change we need.

Join a Women’s Week of Action event and let other women in your community know why you’re supporting Barack.

Barack was raised by a single mother and grandmother. He understands the tough choices that working women in this country face every single day — because he lived it. And now, he and I are raising two young girls. They are the reason we’re in this race — to make the world a better place, full of opportunity, for them and for all of our children.

I know that Barack and Joe Biden are a strong team for women and families across the country because they have the record and the commitment to prove it — but it’s up to supporters like you to help get this message of change out into your communities.

Barack and Joe will pass tax cuts for 95% of American families, ensure that women get equal pay for the same jobs as men, put the needs of working and middle class families ahead of special interests, and change our broken school system so that every single child in this nation has a world-class education from pre-school through college.

But they can’t do it alone. This campaign is counting on us. If women come together to support Barack and Joe, we can bring about the change we need.

Get started today by reaching out to other women in your community:

http://ga.barackobama.com/GAwwoa

The future of women and all of our families is at stake in this election.

Thank you so much for all that you do,

Michelle

The economy hit a new low this week, and in every part of the country, people like you are feeling it.

The recent financial disasters — from the collapse of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to the historic drop in the stock market — are not just a string of bad luck. They are the result of years of bad decisions made in favor of big corporate special interests instead of America’s working families.

More than 600,000 Americans have lost their jobs since January. Home foreclosures are skyrocketing, and home values are plunging. Gas prices are at an all-time high, and we’re still spending more than $10 billion every month on a war in Iraq that should never have been waged.

John McCain’s campaign is doing everything it can to focus attention on false personal attacks and distractions — but there’s too much at stake for that kind of politics.

I need your help to get the conversation back on track.

For eight years, Bush-McCain economic policies have favored reckless deregulation and huge tax loopholes for big corporations. Now, as these corporations crumble, American taxpayers are facing costly bailouts.

More of the same failed ideas are not going to solve our economic problems.

I’m calling for a $1,000 tax break for middle-class families — not just because they need help dealing with the rising costs of gas, food, and health care, but also because our economy needs to be reinvigorated from the bottom up, not the top down.

I’m proposing a second stimulus package to save over one million jobs and provide immediate relief to struggling families.

And I’ll end the “anything goes” culture on Wall Street with real regulation. We can see clearly that our economy is stronger when we protect investments and pensions, and avoid devastating bankruptcies and bailouts.

This is no ordinary time, and it shouldn’t be an ordinary election. Help keep the discussion focused on the issues.

Please watch the video and share it with your friends today:

“Biden Says It’s Patriotic To Pay Taxes”

(http://www.ajc.com/news/content/shared-gen/ap/PresidentialElections/BidenTaxes.html)Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden said Thursday that paying more in taxes is the patriotic thing to do for wealthier Americans. In a new TV ad that repeats widely debunked claims about the Democratic tax plan, the Republican campaign calls Obama’s tax increases “painful.” Under the economic plan proposed by Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, people earning more than $250,000 a year would pay more in taxes while those earning less — the vast majority of American taxpayers — would receive a tax cut.

Sorry to disappoint Wooten and his lemming GOP followers, but those of us on the left are not “wild with rage and frustration” for Palin’s unfortunate selection as McSame’s running mate.

Most of us find it almost amusing that someone so blatantly unqualified could be chosen as a potential running mate, and for such obviously cynical reasons. Your friend McSame, who is mostly reviled by GOP mouthpieces like Wooten, did not have the cojones to pick a running mate he wanted because the GOP hardliners would not accept a feeble ex-Dem or a pro-choice pol from Pa.

The more the GOP’s Stepford VP wannabe opens her mouth in an unscripted fashion, the more those voters on the fence realize how thoroughly unqualified she is for the job.

Unfortunately, the Dems have allowed the shills on the right to make this about experience. It’s not experience that matters (see Cheney, Rumsfeld, etc.,), it’s knowledge. Biden has it. Obama has it. McCann has it on some issues (not sub-prime mortgages, according to a pathetic performance he gave in a New Hampshire interview last year).

Palin knows where Russia is. She also knows she’s against the Bridge to Nowhere and earmarks, even though she really isn’t.

What most of us know is that Palin doesn’t have a clue. Tina Fey is more qualified to be VP. We are all waiting with great anticipation for the VP debate, where Palin will spout whatever it is her handlers have told her to say, regardless of the topic or question.

For a party that has nominated the likes of Agnew & Quayle for VP, the choice of Palin may be a new low (hard to get under Quayle).

To the GOP sheep who just love Palin, don’t lose hope. It’s hard to lose an election by underestimating the intelligence of the American public. The GOP has done it twice in a row with the current incompetent in the White House, and there are plenty of gullible, uninformed voters capable of voting for McSame and Stepford Sarah out of pure unadulterated ignorance.

First presidential campaign I have really followed. I wished I knew how Republicans can forget the facts so easily. I want someone to hack into the Fema email and see why things are not better in TX when they had Katrina to work out the kinks. This is Bush’s home state!

There was a lot of publicity where Michille Obama said that she really loved her country. This is where we need to be more like Sean Hanity and repeat that Palin is married to someone who wanted to sucede from America. That is the first question that I would ask her.

All other bloggers lets put the Palin pick in the right context. It goes to McCains judgement and his motto of putting country first. You put country first when you picked Palin to be a heartbeat away from the Presidency.

Classic arguement she has more experience than Obama the difference is that the Democratic party picked Obama we looked at his resume and said yes. McCain looked at Palin’s resume and said if something happens to me I trust you to run the country. If this was any other job in a company there would be rumors if she slept with the boss.

Special for our friend Debbie:

while I agree that FNMA and FHLMC are not responsible in any way for any portion of the mortgage security meltdown attributable to nominally subprime loans – there really were not so many of those - I think nominally “subprime” loans are not the cause of the mortgage security meltdown. To the extent that FHLMC and FNMA contributed to the formation of the house price bubble through their funding of “interest only” loans, “adjustable rate” loans (and other inherently unsound forms of lending that became mainstream via the taxpayer backed securities), they are the main culprits. I deem the ratio 5% subprime/95% creative financing loans. Worse, the executives of FNMA and FHLMC consistently sought to grow the bubble by putting the taxpayer on the hook for ever-larger (“jumbo”) mortgages. If we had a responsible Congress that would not have put the taxpayer on the hook for any mortgage larger than, say, $200k, no bubble could have grown. Of course, the executive bonuses at FHLMC and FNMA would have been constrained also, and Congress would never let that happen to their friends.

The underpinnings of the S&L disaster, as in the present “crisis” – your word, not mine – are in a Congressional mandate for funding housing. Then the problem was a legislated effort to fund long term loans with short term deposits – one can defy gravity, but not indefinitely, and of course the Roosevelt-era S&L industry came crashing to earth. The unlimited taxpayer-backed spigot for FHLMC and FNMA, coupled with obscene short term profit incentives for executive management, created a bureaucracy protected by Congressional lapdogs from any meaningful executive oversight. I think we can all agree that a capitalist economy will always blow the whistle on uneconomic Congressional schemes. Can you say “medicare” or “social security?”

I failed to tie the loop between the house price bubble and CRA. The easy cure for CRA, one that always pleased bank examiners, was originating mortgage loans. Selling off those mortgage loans was a great way to “serve the community” without keeping the risk.

The mortgage bubble is entirely a creation of leftist legislation and leftist prevention of FNMA and FHLMC reform.

Over three hundred thousand people in Georgia are out of work. The war in Afghanistan is lost and the one in Iraq continues to simmer. More of our troops and more of our financial resources disappear into those twin ratholes every day. You continue to write about an undistinguished fop who is nothing more than tundra scum.

Sarah should have been using the official email system for Alaska, but she did not because her goal was to communicate unprofessional, inappropriate messages outside of the official system, avoiding any release of her writings should a lawsuit result from her conduct, now known to be poor conduct. She is no different from the Cheney/Rove/Bush White House policy to use external email accounts to AVOID leaving a record of their misdeeds. My government employer would fire her for such conduct.

As more of her ill-advised and unethical behavior comes into the public light, she will slip more rapidly in the polls than she rose.

I think there is this repeated error in saying “the Left” is who is behind all of the speculation. It’s the media, whatever side of the fence, who creates this atmosphere of over-fed information. Is the AP run by liberals? You’re the media, too, Wooten, and you use it to your ideological preferences. Why is it okay for you and your kind to say it’s the Left but when you dig for dirt on Obama, Clinton it’s NOT a witch hunt? The hypocrisy is so evident. Let’s all be clear about the forces at play - THE MEDIA! They want headlines, stories, attention. They find these crazy allegations to get the most readers. By the way, Obama’s got it in the BAG with all of this Republican-fed economic problems. You guys cannot say that the Bush Administration had nothing to do with this. If you do, you’re in a bigger fantasty world than even Palin created.

Yet, Uncle Bill promised us in 1996 to have the troops home from Kosovo…..they are still there. And, of course, the Democraps gave us NAFTA, GATT and all of the rest that helped our economy. So, go ahead, bash the Republicans for running Sarah Palin and say there is no truth coming from the ticket. We all saw what sort of truth came from the Democraps. Go Monica…..

Most of us “leftist” recognize Governor Palin, a good person, for what she is: a political side show meant to distract the voters from the incredible incompetence of the Republican Bush administration. If she were male, she would not have been considered for the VP slot and everyone with an IQ over 90 knows that. She will have a very short “shelf life” as a novelty. Kinda like the hula hoop or pet rock.

Why Obama is a Should Not be President

Barack Obama campaigns on a “change” platform and promises a new bi-partisanship in dealing with Congress and its often conflicting and diverse voices. Certainly, a candidate who aspires to such changes would have a record reflecting similar accomplishments in his prior positions. One might even expect he has some higher philosophy from his background which has shaped and guided such an outlook.

But, then again, maybe Barack Obama isn’t what he appears to be.

Apart from his speech-making on change, hope and brotherhood, the reality of Barack Obama appears to be less than “brotherly”. A reality in which, like his mentor Wright, the candidate will say what his congregation pays to hear. His actions point to his genuine philosophical viewpoints and is reflected in one of the doctrinal texts of the Trinity United Church of Christ:

*What does sin mean for blacks? Again, we must be reminded that sin is a community concept, and this means that only blacks can talk about their sin. (White) Oppressors are not only rendered incapable of knowing their own condition, they cannot speak about or for the (black) oppressed. This means that whites are not permitted to speak about what blacks have done to contribute to their condition. They cannot call blacks Uncle Toms.; only member s of the black community can do that. For whites, to do so is not merely insensitivity, it is blasphemy!

Whites cannot know us; they do not even know themselves. If we could just get “concerned” whites to recognize this fact, then we blacks could get about the business of cleaning up this society and destroying the filthy manifestations of whiteness in it.

• James H. Cone, A Black Theology of Liberation

This is the doctrine Barack Obama teaches his children.

One comes to understand that when Obama talks about a new bi-partisanship with the diverse political components of America, he does not, as Cone puts it, think them capable of representing him or the black community. Apparently, though, Obama thinks himself more than capable of representing the rest of America.

It’s a campaign only a used-car salesman could love.

John attended college at the United States Naval Academy, and launched a 22-year career as a naval aviator upon his graduation.

On July 29 1967, John narrowly survived the first of many near-death experiences during his lifetime while preparing to take off on a bombing mission over North Vietnam from his ship, the USS Forrestal. A missile accidentally fired from a nearby plane struck the fuel tanks on John’s plane and created a deadly inferno aboard the ship. John barely escaped the fiery disaster that killed 134 men, injured hundreds more and destroyed 20 planes.

Instead of taking the option to return home after the Forrestal disaster, Senator McCain volunteered for more combat duty - a fateful decision that stopped the clock on his life and separated him from his family, and country, for five and a half years.

Senator McCain’s last Navy duty assignment was to serve as the naval liaison to the United States Senate. John retired from the Navy in 1981. His naval honors include the Silver Star, Bronze Star, Legion of Merit, Purple Heart, and the Distinguished Flying Cross.

John McCain has a remarkable record of leadership and experience that embodies his unwavering lifetime commitment to service. First elected to the U.S. House of Representatives from Arizona in 1982, John has led the fight for reforming Washington, eliminating wasteful government spending, and strengthening our nation’s armed forces.

John McCain’s reform agenda to reduce federal spending and lower taxes quickly elevated him to statewide office and he was elected to the United States Senate in 1986, after serving two terms in the U.S. House.

Here is Obama’s resume: Community organizer and U.S. Senator for 18 months…..Not much there when you take a close look at it.

EC=DA,

The point I rather handily made was to expose your candidate for his extensive weakness. Senator Obama has a public service record so shallow it appears transparent.

Now to the gist of your last little diatribe: You blame McCain and the Republican Party for the Lenders crash? Obviously you could use a current civics lesson. Luckily for you I am in the teaching mood today.

EC, Have you ever heard of “Red Lining” before? This is modern day imaginary concern where Lenders discriminate against individual home owners and perspective buyers based on racial profiling. It did exist in the first part of the last century but has been illegal (and rightfully so) for over forty years running.

Your friend, fellow Democrat Michael Lomax went to Congress and testified before it, that even he, the esteemed head commissioner of the Fulton Board of Commission had been “RED LINED” thus turned down for a home improvement loan. (Truth is he had built up a McMansion in a depressed area, and as any one in business knows you never loan out more than a property is worth).

The Lenders fearing Democratic government intervention relaxed the rules on lending practices; thus allowing unqualified applicants home loans that all knew would never be paid back. The democrats, took full credit back then for their vote buying scheme, but they scurry like rats when you try to hold them to their words now.

Let’s just say in the words of Obama’s pastor: The chickens have come home to roost.

Confucius.

What is she trying to hide by using her personal email for government /public business? This sounds suspect, especially when she initiated legal research to determine the personal protections that one would enjoy from this apparent subterfuge. I am afraid that there is little honesty coming from many of her supporters. It is plain to see that she is a puppet and out of her league. Giving her the benefit of the doubt, I would say she is probably more flighty than more liar. She seems to think that just because she says something it is now true, regardless of prior action or statements. Republicans: do you really want to win so badly or keep Obama out that you would delude yourselves into hoping that this will not blow up in all of our faces? I don’t want an average person for president, or one who talks about “creating energy”, “God’s plan” or unable to admit that they are not prepared for the task ahead. I want the smartest, best educated, and one with sound judgment. Not 5 colleges for a BS, not 490 something out of 490 something . Obama and Biden are obviously sharper. You must feel that she can be controlled and this is really what you want. We dems have to learn to talk to the stupid and not just focus on issues. The GOP is 2 faced. McCain talks about values while his married family sells alcohol, he committs adultrey, and leaves his loyal wife. She steals and used drugs. Palin’ s daughter gets knocked up and all is OK. I can’t take any more!
