The GOP's Natural

We community organizers, are definitely organized to vote against you. You have insulted 90% of the American people who have benefited from community orgainizer.

It was amusing to listen to Palin's attack on the "Washington elite." It made me wonder if she knows which party has controlled the White House for the last 8 years and Congress for 12 of the last 14 years. Who is this Washington elite anyway? Obviously it's a group which she is very anxious to join. Election after election, we hear candidates proclaim that they are "outsiders" and not part of the Washington elite, and then they get elected and become part of the Washington elite. Will American voters ever get tired of this charade?

Hey Holy Roller - check this out:

Barack Obama is, in fact, a natural-born citizen of the United States, for the simple reason that he was born on American soil (in Hawaii, two years after it acquired statehood). The age and citizenship status of Obama's parents have no bearing whatsoever on Obama's citizenship.

Any confusion on this point is the result of misunderstanding the legal concepts of jus sanguinis (right of blood) and jus soli (right of birthplace). Here is how the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service explains the difference:

The 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees citizenship at birth to almost all individuals born in the United States or in U.S. jurisdictions, according to the principle of jus soli. Certain individuals born in the United States, such as children of foreign heads of state or children of foreign diplomats, do not obtain U.S. citizenship under jus soli.
Certain individuals born outside of the United States are born citizens because of their parents, according to the principle of jus sanguinis (which holds that the country of citizenship of a child is the same as that of his / her parents).

It is a fact that under the provisions of Article Two of the U.S. Constitution naturalized citizens are ineligible to hold the office of president, but this disqualification does not apply to Barack Obama, who has been a citizen since birth.

Does anyone else feel like their watching a real life version of The Emperors New Clothes? As a conservative republican, we're being sold on the fact that she's the real deal, a perfect candidate. We know better, it's obvious she was a rushed political choice, a gimmick. But because they are selling it to us with a straight face and such force, pushing us to believe it, we start to doubt our better judgement. I start to feel dumb for not going along with it and not seeing it, so I have to pretend to see it like they do. But I just can't do that. She's a great face for the republican party, her experience in TV and beauty pageants makes her a confident speaker. She makes a great cheerleader for the republican party, but when I realize they are trying to make her VP of the US, next to Senior McCain? I shudder to think of the consequences.

I'm a Democrat who was on the fence until last night. With McCain's wisdom and experience coupled with Palin's youth and determination, I think these two can get great things accomplished. I'm voting McCain/Palin

The 'Trash Talk Express' is in full motion. God help us if the McCain ticket gets to the White House. You can be assured of two things: Re-initiation of the draft and Moose meat for all mere mortals.

JGuthrie: Where have you been. Obama was a street organizer for a short period of time on the southside of Chicago but he wasn't in the Englewood neighborhood where it was needed but at age 17 he was very heavy on drugs and booze for a period of time. How he ever graduated college is a wonder. He was only a real estate attorney for a crooked businessman who wheeled and dealed just like Obama does. He sounds sincere in his speeches of lies and its people like you that eat it up. Just like the JFK speech he used last Thursday because he has used the speeches of RFK especially the words of hope and change. Do I think he can run the country? Yes, run it to the ground.

I thought all Christians knew Jesus was a community organizer/ activist and Pontius Pilate was a "GOVENOR"!

ONE THING YOU CAN SAY FOR SURE ABOUT MCCAIN -- HE SURE LIKES 'EM YOUNG!

So what's this about Palin hiring a lobbyist while she was mayor to secure $27 million in FEDERAL earmarks for her town of 6,700 people??? She has much less experience than Obama, yet she is ready for CIC when McOne-Foot-In-The-Grave keels over ???

I sat and listened to the Republican Convention last night and felt nothing but sadness. Sadness that the same old divisive, attack politics are still alive and well. I guess it???s true ??? Republicans love America ??? they just hate half the people in it.

I am saddened that the Republicans have not taken responsibility for what their policies have done to the country. There was no mention last night of President Bush. Was this just an oversight or a calculated omission since a vote for McCain would mean an extension of the Bush/Republican policies of the last eight years?

I am saddened at the hypocrisy of what I heard last night. All the same Karl Rove style attacks, all the fear mongering, all the ???America is great??? and who cares about the rest of the world??? rhetoric that was used to get Bush re-elected for his second term.

I keep hearing about ???experience???. George Bush had the executive experience they all crave. He was Governor of Texas for five years and made executive decisions. He even crossed party lines to build consensus. He filled his cabinet with some of the most experienced people in US politics ??? Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, and Cheney to help him run the economy and foreign policy. Look what they did to the country and the reputation of America in the eyes of the rest of the world.

I don???t want an ???experienced??? candidate if George Bush and Sarah Palin are the examples of experience. I don???t want someone I could have a beer with or a pit bull with lipstick on. I want an intelligent President who has the foresight to examine the issues and opinions of others before making a decision. Not someone who uses their ???gut??? instinct. I want a President with good judgement and not someone who uses their position to saber rattle and cast the world as a place of ???good??? and ???evil???. I want a President, who after working as a community organizer, understands the struggles of the middle class. I want a President who will restore the status of America in the world and not someone who will continue the bullying tactics of the Bush Administration. I want a President who understands the Constitution and not someone who will continue to abuse it.

I can only wonder if the McCain of Campaign 2000 ??? the campaign where Sarah Palin supported Pat Buchanan ??? would have been railroaded into picking a right-wing, evangelical as a VP choice. If he has allowed them to make the most important decision of his campaign for him, then what role will they have in his government. Look at how they have influenced the Bush Administration and the consequences of that.

How could Obama have the nerve to be a street organizer when he was heavy on drugs himself and booze. Also a chain smoker. The only college he attended was Harvard to become a lawyer to a crooked real estate broker. You don't have to go to Harvard to be a real estate attorney. He never used his law degree. How many years did he attend fou or eight? And why did he get involved with scum?
