McCain's Tricky Calculation

Hello, person (whoever you think you are of any significance), Obama is running for President and Palin is the VP candidate. There is not "Obama vs. Palin". I can't wait to see how she takes on Joe Biden, the old school, run of the mill, good ole boy, Washington Dem. You need to get a real life, instead of getting paid (wow, you do?) to write crap like this. Get a real job, dude.

Gee Jonathan...Do you mean "tough minded reporters" like yourself? Don't hold your breath. There's no reason to acknowledge the majority of the 'main stream' press any longer. You all have made your sympathies very clear over the last 19 months. There is no point to the exercise other than to make you self important media types feel better about yourselves at DC cocktail parties.

alter: boo hoo, sniff, sniff. barack thoushallnotsayhismiddlename obama gets gutted.
As your fellow pundit Chris "thrill up the leg" Matthews says, HA!
As an in the tank cultist for the false prophet, you no longer have an credibilty as a journalist.

"Also, Palin is under two ethics violation investigations for abuse of power in Alaska. Sound familiar??? maybe that arrest might be sooner than we think." Posted By: uuforyou

Sound familiar? Yes it does-just like the CLINTONS

Now, on to a couple serious things. Palin is a traitor. I don't mean that as an insult, its a fact. We should be arresting her, not voting for her.
She thinks Alaska should secede from the union....you know, the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. She is a member of the ANTI-AMERICAN Alaska Independence Party(AIP) that advocates secession and that Alaska is illegally a state. Palin is the ultimate in unpatriotic. In contrast to McCain, their slogan is "Alaska first-Alaska Always". Hmmm?

Also, Palin is under two ethics violation investigations for abuse of power in Alaska. Sound familiar??? maybe that arrest might be sooner than we think.

BTW, Palins speech was written by a BUSH speech writer....McSame speech writer, McSame speech.

And...neither Palin nor McCain are any where CLOSE to Bill Clinton!!! Scandal and ALL...he knows how to do his JOB!!!!

I LOVE this article because it is VERY true! Palin and McCain are hypocracy at its best!!! McCain was a POW...SO WHAT! In his 25 years as a Senator and all, what BIG CHANGE did he bring to Washington or the U.S.? Heck...his own hometown for that matter!! He wants to convince those people that it is RIGHT to vote for HIM because of that simple fact. He is 72!!!!!!!!! Why is he soooo READY now to be commander in chief?! What has changed about HIM in the past 25 years that concurs with his decision? NOTHING!!!!
Palin is just a WOMAN from a SMALL town, who governed a SMALL population of people for a SHORT amount of time, has FIVE children, can be a bit too sarcastic, and knows how to SAY what people want to HEAR at a moment in time! What makes her different than my next day neighbor in my hometown who didn't even graduate from HIGH SCHOOL! Be honest with yourself, Palin/McCain supporters. This is sooo far from right! They are going into this campaign with an I HOPE mentality and they HOPE that people will some how sympathetically VOTE for them!! They disgust me!!!

The Republican Rovian tactic is to call a circle a square with a straight face and scream foul if anyone dares call them out on it. It makes me sick to my stomach.

Let's see.. Governor from a small state that begins with "A"
history of of having to deal with scandals.

Is this person qualified?

Hey, wait....Bill Clinton didn't do so bad after all.

(I bet you Dems thought I was taliking about Sarah, didn't you?)

I've just completed some research on pit bulls - here's what I found out:

These dogs were used in battle and for guarding, but they also served utilitarian purposes, such as farm work. Specifically, these dogs accompanied farmers into the fields to assist with bringing bulls in for breeding, castration, or slaughter. The dogs, known generally as bulldogs, protected the farmer by subduing the bull if it attempted to gore him. Typically a dog would do this by biting the bull on the nose and holding on to the violently struggling bull despite injury. These traits permitted the development and rise of the bloody sports of bull-baiting and bear-baiting. In Elizabethan England, these spectacles were popular forms of entertainment, comparable to Shakespearean plays which often took place right next to the bearbaiting pits in Southwark. However, in 1835, bull-baiting and bear-baiting were abolished by Parliament as cruel, and the custom died out over the following years.

Now when you realy think about it, dogs are taught to be obedient to their masters, to do what their master commands them to do. If a master is being attacked, that master doesn't place him/herself in front of the dog. No.....the dog goes out in front and faces the danger. In many cases dogs receive the 'harm' that would have come upon the master.

Why has Gov. Palin allowed herself to be offered up like this? She has done the 'dirty work' - now tonight McCain it is said will not be so 'vicious' - Perhaps the other options from which McCain had to choose would not have done what she did - and maybe that's why they were not selected (and this has nothing to do with the fact that she is a woman!!!!!)

This candidate performed the 'pit bull' task well last night - the attack dog...making sure that the way would be clear for McCain's 'softer' touch tonight. But oh....at what price?

I've also just noticed that they have changed the stage for McCain's speech tonight to one that is more of a 'Town Hall' setting - to make McCain more comfortable. And this is someone who wants to represent the United States of America in an international forum. If he cannot speak in front of crowd of his own people, his own party supporters - how will he be able to speak up in front of crowds as president? Will his aides always have to run ahead of him and make sure that for every appearance the stage is set in the format of a 'Town Hall' meeting?

Taking a look around at the status of everything quickly confirms that any more of the same will just be a disaster. Senator McCain and Gov Palin state that they are for change, recognizing people really want change, and for a government that is for the people, yet can we believe what they say? The Republican Party is simply not what it was 20 years ago; it has been constantly sliding downhill ever since Ronald Reagan and has really hit the pits as it strongly and belligerently supports an arrogant and irresponsible Bush-Cheney administration totally focused on Special Interests, a select few and themselves. The last eight years have proven that we can???t believe whenever the Republican Party promises any concern for the people, we need real sincerity that they fail to give. All of that is readily seen when rationally checking most anything to objectively understand what was said, who really benefited and what it actually cost America. Can McCain-Palin turn that around? Are they sincere when expressing an interest to do so? Without dwelling just on Sarah Palin???s questionable qualifications and her extremes let???s consider the efforts to sell John McCain as a Maverick who supposedly thinks for himself. We know of and respect him for his heroism but being a POW just isn???t a qualification to be president. When observing, for one thing, that he gave up his own pick for Vice President to instead pick a nominee who was acceptable to the (pseudo-) conservative powers, that in itself is a clear indication that he accepts he is subordinate to them. That action neither represents a Maverick nor an independent thinker, instead it totally equates to just more of the same ??? just another puppet for Special Interests and a select few, who would then again dishonestly give the people only apathy, the costs and more subterfuge! Not what we need.

I predict Obama will dump Biden for Hillary

McCain's spin team wants us to believe that Gov. Palin is tough enough, smart enough and experienced enough to be the leader the U.S., while at the same time, the campaign fears that Palin isn't smart enough, tough enough or experienced enough to face questions from the public- without a script! Americans, it's time to wake up. We've done average Joe before with G.W., and look where that got us. Having the "average hockey mom" for vice president and potential president may make a funny movie subject, but in real life that's a scary risk we can't afford.

Jonathan, as a fellow mantle cell survivor, & occasional follower of your column, I must say this is the 2nd worst, silliest, dumbest column you've written, topped only by your fist column attacking Palin.
