Oral Exam, Part II

Joe Lieberman and Fred Thompson made wonderful speeches and made the case for a John McCain and Sarah Palin ticket. Both Joe Lieberman and Fred Thompson are eloquent speakers and both would also have been great on the ticket. They both truly believe in John McCain. As to why John McCain picked Governor Sarah Palin, John McCain intends to follow through and make his Project Lexington for United States energy independence the dominant issue in this campaign. Governor Sarah Palin is a strong supporter of increased offshore drilling and she knows that Alaska has an offshore coastline greater than the rest of the country combined and is also the leading state in oil production. Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and John McCain understand that Obama and the Democrats would never consider government loan guarantees or tax breaks for a sure thing that will produce energy for the American gas tank. In fact Democrats are trying to put together a so-called windfall profits tax which will have the effect of discouraging future investment in the United States oil industry. John McCain also knows that Governor Sarah Palin family situation also illustrates that longterm Democratic leadership hostility and policies toward United States owned energy companies have caused our current energy crisis. Her husband who works for British Petroleum should be working for the former American owned Arco Oil Company. Arco Oil Company developed and explored the Alaska North Slope and formerly owned eighty percent of our proven Alaskan reserves. With its substantial oil reserves Arco Oil Company should have bought British Petroleum instead of British Petroleum buying out Arco Oil Company during the second Bill Clinton administration. With the right business environment and support from both political parties in the United States, Arco Oil Company might have been more successful and been able to buy out British Petroleum instead of British Petroleum buying out Arco Oil Company. Look at Apple Computer and Microsoft. Their success in the computer world have made them bullet proof to corporate takeovers. Longterm Democratic hostility and opposition to offshore drilling and periodic talk of windfall profits taxes contributed to the takeover of Arco Oil Company by foreign owned British Petroleum.

It was the same old republican garbage will listen to evert year. The country is falling apart so they invoke Ronald Regan (Who by the way only republicians like) 9/11 if you put a DEM in we are all going to die ,even though 9/11 happened on Bush's watch . Oh yeah and all DEMS are baby killers. , gove me a break. Lets talk issues real issues like yhis country is in horrible shape and MCBUSH will do nothing to change that. As for his choice of VP i am so glad that her daughther made a choice to keep her baby but it was her CHOICE and that should be allowed for every person in this country not just what far right iwants

Well Joe, you have it wrong as usual. In fact, I am a 65 year old white male, highly decorated, retired military officer who proudly served in Viet Nam, with a Phd. I have traveled and worked as a consultant in over 450 companies in 27 countrys. You on the other hand, I'm sure, are not and have not.

Please share your credentials Joe. I'm sure we will all be impressed. And, just what is the real purpose of America? Rich get richer? War after war? Middle class eliminated? Torture? Rendition? Gitmo? More people in jail? Executing doctors who perform abortion and mothers who abort? Arrest and detention for any reason or no reason? Shadow government by big oil?

Just answer on question for me. What would America be like with 8, 12, 16 more years of Republican rule? Would you want your kids living in that world? I think not.

Comment: To understand this plan, you have to understand the full impact of the plan. McCain doesn't only want HRC's defectors, as so many are suggesting, he also wants Obama loyalist, the undecided and the independents. By choosing a woman, immediately a very small unintelligent group of women will vote for McCain because he chose a women. This is a small group but worth mentioning. On the larger scale women don't vote for women because they are women, and simply putting a woman on the ticket won't compensate for their policy positions. The McCain Campaign is not worried about the larger scale of women who are intelligent and has high expectations concerning the broad issues on the economy, domestic and national security and health care. The McCain strategy is of no respect of a woman's intellect but her emotions. Here is the gamble of the McCain campaign.
Not if, but when the McCain campaign provoke the Democrats to attack Mrs. Polin, or when the McCain campaign plant a man in their audience to heckle Mrs. Palin with a gender remark like " Go home and raise your five kids" or when the Obama campaign says anything to Mrs. Palin, the McCain Campaign will continue to cry foul by reason of gender bias. women all over will get upset, take offense and think that the democrats are attacking her because she is a women. Then the women all over the U.S. will throw their votes to McCain and Palin. Thus making it a good game play that lead to victory for McCain. Sadly Mrs Palin would have served her purpose and so would the American women also be of no more use to McCain. It will happen. So will the American women be ready to stand firm and don't fall for the McCain sneak-attack hype?

THIS IS VERY DISTURBING... PLEASE PASS IT ON.
Scott,

Do me a favor, take the time to read this.. who ever posted this is amazing news. If you know any republicans, foward it to them, please.




Personal, individual, independent life begins at birth. Until that event, the fetus is not an independent person. It is physically attached to an independent, self-viable human being in order to sustain it. The independent and viable human being, the mother, with all her rights as a citizen in a free society, has the right to make decisions refarding her own body and its processes, including pregnancy. Until the fetus is viable and able to sustain independent life as an individual, the decision on its termination rests with the mother. That is just.

That is the wisdom of the law of this land, The United States of America, in Roe v. Wade.The misrepresentations and theologiical quotes do not belong in the forum of society based on reason and not on falsehoods or ancient and foreign superstitious doctrine. As in all other issues, the Republicans and conservative intend on destroying America with foreign influences, be they financial, as in the alliances with nonAmerican plutocrats from communist China to the princes of the suadi royal family. The American economy can shrivel and die as far as they're concerned, especially the labor unions whom the Republican party has persecuted for over a century, as long as the global economy and every person with anything less than unshakably stalwart and self-perpetuating independent wealth has been enslaved. That is the elitism they the Republicans embrace and solely represent.


They don't care a thing about this country, except that it can be sucked dry. As the the fascists did in the Republics of Germany, Spain, Italy, and Japan. These antiAmerican movements are the model for this "neo"conservative Republican party. Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan were worse for America than Lenin or Stalin, because they were able to do effect their corruption of this country from the inside. bush is a continuation of this effort for moral, economic, political, governmental decay. Fred Thompson, the professional liar, the professional fraud, the mal-actor.

Accused others of feeling the need the need to apologize for America. That is a lie. The liberals ad progressives feel no need to apologize for America. The conservatives and Republicans are not America. They are liars and traitors and desire to destroy America. It is the conservatives and Republicans and Fred Thompson, if they have any shred of decency or shame left in them, to apologize and answer for being the enemies of a free and prospersoud America. Rev. Jeremiah Wright's damnation was misplace. Every freedom-loving patriotic American should condemn the conservatives and their insurrectionist party, the Republican party. to the hottest, darkest and foulest corner of any hell that might exist.

I love how the ignorant fool Liberals can say " Pro Choice...let the woman decide how to live" but yet, they make the same stupid laws that take our individual right to choose away like for example, by telling us to wear helmets, seat belts, taking guns away or taxing us to pay for welfare. All of that is ok, but its not ok to protect a little life that was created because a woman and man made a concious decision to have sex. You liberals need to pull your heads out of the sand....how STUPID YOU ARE!

The Alaska Legislature is investigating the firing of public safety commissioner Walt Monegan. The investigating committee disclosed the attorney's hiring on Monday, releasing an e-mailed letter it had received from the firm on Friday ??? the day McCain announced Palin would be his running mate.
A senior McCain adviser, Tucker Eskew, said the law firm's hiring was part of a "weeks-old effort to provide this governor defense in a series of outlandish politically motivated charges" that were unrelated to the presidential campaign.
The investigation will be conducted by a state-hired investigator working for a Republican-dominated legislative committee.

Here are the Lori awards for political convention coverage:
Worst Political coverage award winner in several catagories... CNN! For Monday night's Anderson 360 when Cooper did not catch or question Obama when he compared running his campaign with Palin being mayor of Wasilla. Cooper did not inform Obama that Palin is Governor of Alaska and ask him to compare runnig the campaign to being a governor.

GOP = Get Our Piece

Fred Thompson's speech was an A. Lieberman deserves an A+ just for stating the facts as he sees them. As a long-serving member of Congress (like McCain and UNLIKE Obama), he has seen the endless debate over issues that is attributable to party line pressure. We need our politicians to work together to make America better on a daily basis, not waiting around for another Pearl Harbor or 9/11 type of event to galvanize the country into a cooperative whole that can accomplish any task set before it. The first step in the correct direction would be the "line item veto" and a President who would wield that power evenly across the board. CUT THE PORK!
ON THE OTHER HAND, Barack Obama doesn't have the pedigree to be President - he has passed no bills, sponsored no bills, thinks he is on the Treasury committee, or called it his committee when he claimed credit for legislation they passed while he was on his campaign tour of the middle east and Europe???? (not enough time to visit the wounded soldiers, though) - he's got nothing to do with that committee. All Barack Obama has done is campaign for higher office - in Illinois and while in the US Senate. His wife Michelle, said, after Barack secured the nomination, that it was "the only time, in my adult life, that I've been proud of America". What rock has she, and, I'm assuming, her husband been under? She was born in 1964, so I know she remembers the US hockey team beating Russia at the Olympics or Mary Lou Retton and then Kerri Strug (on one foot) winning Gold in gymnastics. She probably remembers the demolishing of the Berlin Wall, but must think it was because Ethiopia was sending Gorbachev nasty letters. Now, this woman presumes to tell me, or any other red-blooded American, about American family values??? Please.
