    The McCain pick of Palin for VP is a microcosm of the difference between the two parties-

    education vs. abstinence

    evolution vs. creationism

    diplomacy vs. arbitrary war

    intelligence vs. narcissism

    liberty and science vs. right-wing self righteousness

    democracy vs. plutacracy

    sustainablility vs. monopoly

    Obama/biden vs. McCain/Palin

    The choose is more clear!

      You're so right...it's a wonder McCain is doing as well as he is in the polls! I don't get it...

        Most of McCain's supporters are most likely old, rich (or very secure) white folks. Most of them lived through at least the results of the depression. MCCain's mother, can probably remember a time when many people did not even have a phone, indoor bathrooms, washing machines, etc. Those folks know what it is like to be without all of today's conveniences. They are easily freightened of a future that is totally unfamiliar and, for them, it is uncontrollable. I am sure that they felt very comforted by hearing the Republican speeches and seeing all of the old conventional trappings. Obama's convention looked and felt different from what they had always known and expected. Bless their old hearts, they are just afraid of the future. We will probably end up like tthem some day too. We are at a new paradigm in the history of the world, so all of us need to be courageous AND kind and very thoughtful.

    Obama has spent 12 years in elected office as a legislator, and senator of the United States. He has governed more people and has more experience than Sarah Palin will ever have in her little lying - stretch speech, sarcastic and smug speech pinky! Obama worked with Rebublicans and Democrats to pass the ethics law that prevents all lawmakers in washington now from receiving gifts/bribes from lobbyist in order to gain favors!! Obama was a great community organizer 20 years ago that started his career! Community organizing made it possible for women to vote, made it possible for us to work a 40 hour work week and not a 60 hour work week, community orgzanizing made it possbile for unions to represent themselves for what is best for themselves!!! Please everyone - don't let this Palin distraction keep you from voting for Obama this November. She has no clue about foreign policy or the national struggles facing our economy today!! Focus on the big issues! Ask yourself - are you better off today with George Bush and John McCain's policies than you were eight years ago under Bill clinton? If not - you know what is right and who you shoudl vote for this November - Obama!!!

    Obama blathers about change but then chooses as his running mate a Washington relic who managed in 36 years to be wrong on just about everything while compiling a record nearly as slavishly Leftist as Obama's. In a era of complex, vicious asymmetrical threats Democrats give us a ' community organizer" without a shred of executive experience who, in his years as a state legislator, voted "present" when it was time to make the tough calls and you wonder why Governor Palin and every other GOP was snarky.

    • Posted By: neos @ 09/04/2008 8:07:07 PM

      I don't wonder why they are snarky, I know why. When you are on all the wrong side of the issues, then you pull out the old Rove playbook and try to scare people. Not this time!

      • Posted By: commoner @ 09/05/2008 1:06:49 AM

        Evidently, "present" was a term used to signify that the issue needed further investigation. You see, Obama is not a Knee-jerk politician. He has spent his whole career thinking, seeking answers to complex problems, and working with others to resolve those problems.

  • Posted By: Yes! We ALL Can @ 09/05/2008 1:05:41 AM

    Everyone keep in mind - THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY THAT THERE HAVE NOT BEEN any tributes to a sitting president or vice president. Neither one of them showed up at the convention and neither one of them spoke!! This has never happened in the history of elections or conventions before! Think about it!! What would either of them have to say to you? McCain agress with them 90% of the time!!! Keep focused on the issues that will take us into the next 8 years!! Don't let the Palin distraction or the selling of the POW story persuade you to vote for 4 more years of the same policies, pain, and not putting in money in your pocket. War, the rest of the world not respecting us - extreme views! No way, no how, NO McCain!!

    God help us if somehow John McCain is elected and Sarah Palin is VP. Not that McCain is a bad person, but Sarah Pail would be a heartbeat away from the highest office.
    I read a letter from a fellow Alaskan that knows her. Everyone should read it before they think of voting for the Mccain/Palin ticket.

    We can not afford to gamble or take a chance on someone with so little experience or qualifications.

  • Posted By: seventimesseven @ 09/04/2008 8:21:33 PM

    I watched Sarah Palin's speech and was blown away. She has more guts, more character and more sense than the entire Democratic Party together. Love her!!! You basically have Evil Obama,a white hatiing muslim who hates America but is posing in order to get into the highest office in the land so he can take this country down from the inside. And then you have John McCain, a true patriot and a true American who has character and values and respect for life. I am laughing at all you who are so worried about teaching creationism in the schools. Are you all idiots? Do you think we came from apes? Of course you do, and you also think that murdering your own baby is just fine and dandy. You people are the ones that will rot in hell when you die off the face of this earth. It is very easy to see those who are full of evil and hate and death - many of you are also called Left Wing Democrats. Im glad that McCain and Palin are making you nervous, but atleast have the courage to admit what you really hate about them: that they are good and decent human beings . The spit and vile spews out of you whenever you see or hear them, because what you love is evil. We all choose where we go after this life. Sadly enough there are many evil people walking on this earth who on a day to day basis are choosing death over life, bad over good, and hell over heaven. What goes around definitely comes around. One last thought. If Obama wins the election, this country will only continue to spiral downward until we have destroyed ourselves, and God may well let us do it.
    GO McCAIN AND PALIN! AND GOD HELP US IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

    Philip Berg, the well-known Philadelphia attorney and former Deputy Attorney General for the State of Pennsylvania who two weeks ago sued Illinois senator and Democratic Party presidential nominee Barack Obama in federal court challenging the constitutionality of his White House bid, was at the courthouse this morning to file a Praecipe for Reissuance of Summons.

    While the original summons was accepted ten days ago by the U.S. Attorney's office on behalf of the Federal Election Commission, also a named defendant in Berg's suit, proper service never reached the Democratic National Committee or Barack Obama's agent for service. Today's procedure will ensure that proper service is made, but the reasons behind the procedural hiccup remain a mystery to everyone involved.

    "For whatever reason, Sen. Obama never received the summons," said Berg over the telephone this afternoon. "The court mailed everything out on August 22nd."

    This time, rather than relying solely upon the court to mail the summonses following the filing of the complaint, the papers were faxed to a court service company in Washington, D.C. While on the phone, Berg received a call on the other line and confirmed that the papers were indeed in D.C. and would be served, at the latest, by tomorrow.

    NOBAMA!!!

    Rove and O'Reilly on Palin Hilarious

  • Posted By: pjjacobus @ 09/05/2008 12:03:48 AM

    For Palin to mock Obama for have chosen to become a community organizer after he graduated from college is not only enraging and pure ignorance but it sends such a misguided message to the youth of America. If more young educated Americans were to volunteer 2 or 3 years of their life to people in need this country would be an infinitely better place. I thought she was Christian and would applaud volunteerism and service to needy communities. What did she do when she got out of college? She joined the "elitist" evil media and started a career in television. I think I am no fan of this woman. And it is no excuse that a Republican operative wrote her speech and she just read it. If she had some integrity, she would have thought about what she was really saying. I have a feeling that this will come back on her and McCain.

    Yes, admittidly, as a repub, I was worried, prior to and on the day of his pick. And I am out of the country in London (that sucks) right now. But reading the posts, and the venom,and just the legnth of the posts, you dems are crapping your pants right now. I don't know if Mc/Palin will win. But it is funny to watch you all crap your pants. Could we have handed you an easier win? Bush approval is at 2.1 people and the .1 person denies it. And your party is so screwed up you might just blow it! ha ah :) It should be a blow out. You should be drinking a martini every day saying "this is so nice to be sure in July" but you can't. Because, a.

    Steelworkers President To Palin: ???Stop Using Your Husband???s Membership In The USW As A Prop???»

    When Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) introduced Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate, he trumpeted her husband???s union membership: ???The person I???m about to introduce to you was a union member and is married to a union member, and understands the problems, the hopes and the values of working people,??? he said. That day, and again last night, Palin also emphasized that her husband is ???a proud member of the United Steelworkers Union.???

    Conservatives are hoping the reference will play well in Michigan and Ohio. But the United Steelworkers union (USW) isn???t so pleased. USW President Leo Gerard noted that just because Todd Palin is a union member doesn???t mean that Palin is automatically qualified to represent labor interests:

    It is important to realize that while the governor???s husband is a member of a union, this does not automatically qualify her for an on-the-job training program to become a heartbeat away from the presidency. And while her husband is one of 850,000 dues-paying members of the steelworkers union, it does nothing to absolve Sen. McCain of his long history of anti-union sentiment and anti-worker actions.

    In fact, McCain???s hostility to unions and union priorities runs deep:

    ??? McCain voted to block the Employee Free Choice Act, making it easier for workers to unionize. [6/26/07]

    ??? McCain condemned unions as ???serious excesses??? and said government workers are ???crippled??? by union contracts. [10/9/07; 5/21/07]

    ??? McCain voted to filibuster a minimum wage hike last year. [1/24/07]

    ??? McCain voted against a bill protecting discrimination against workers who go on strike, effectively allowing companies to hire permanent replacements for striking workers. [S. 55, 7/13/94]

    ??? McCain voted against an amendment providing more effective remedies to victims of gender discrimination in the payment of wages. [7/17/07]

    Last night, Gerard demanded that Palin ???stop using USW as a prop.??? Noting McCain???s opposition to the top priorities on USW???s agenda, Gerard asked Palin:

    Are you with McCain ??? and against workers ??? on these issues? If so, you need to stop using your husband???s membership in the USW as a prop, because then his union card cannot possibly cover up your or John McCain???s worker-savaging positions.

    Okay, that???s funny from both of you. Talking about WMD. Here is the problem. None of that matters. I said point blank, we can't leave, and we would have to go back, and oil will skyrocket if we leave. Neither of you addressed any of that. You went on to talking Democratic talking points. You also didn't address the fact that the dems said we would leave if elected and we haven't and they haven't done ONE THING to get us out. They continue to approve a budget. Why? Of course because we have to stay. Then, from the second person that calls me an idiot we get, "We spend billions of dollars a month". I won't call you an idiot, because I am a republican and we don't call names, we give facts to educate our democratic friends that are ignorant to them. The US consumes 26.59 MILLION barrels of oil A DAY, not a month. If the price of oil goes from 120 to 220, ie up $100 a barrel (which would happen the second we leave Iraq) then we must spend an extra $2,059,000,000 more PER DAY, and yes, that is BILLION, 2 Billion dollars PER DAY. EVERY DAY. DO YOU GET IT YET? Iraqi???s want us to leave? Are you serious? Let me ask you this, if we are the only reason they are not being invaded right now for their oil, do you really think they want us to leave????? Are you serious? Would you??? No, they are blowing smoke to get leverage on us, because they know ignorant Americans will listen and they will have leverage in negotiations with the US Govt. I am not going to argue with someone who thinks a Billion a month is a lot compared to 2 Billion a day (just for help with the math, that???s 30 Billion a month every month). Let???s just leave it at that.

    Yours truly,
    The Idiot that can count


    By the way, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has estimated the cost of occupation of Iraq is $1 billion to $4 billion per month. Again, I'll do the math for you that means we are SAVING $26- $29 BILLION DOLLARS A MONTH BY STAYING THERE. And yes, that is $312 to $348 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR. THINK WE ARE LEAVING NOW YOU IDIOT? (I'm sorry, I couldn't resist) You should do some of your thinking less with emotion and more with a pencil.

    • Posted By: gigglinggirl @ 09/04/2008 8:21:20 PM

      It's obvious you are very passionate about this issue of Iraq and how much it costs, but you should know that as for the countries that the US imports their oil from, we import the MAJORITY of it from CANADA!!!!! Yes....we import MORE oil from Canada that we do from other countries. Also....oil has dropped $40 per barrel in the last four weeks...it has nothing to do with being or not being in Iraq. Most of Iraq's oil fields are not functioning anywhere NEAR capacity. Additionally, most oil traders think oil is going LOWER because the DOLLAR is strengthening right now. (Since oil is traded in dollars, when the dollar is worth more, it costs us less!) A last point...oil has traditionally traded much lower than it has over the last 18 months. Prior to being in Iraq, and during the first four years of being in Iraq, the price of oil was substantially lower. As for oil from the Middle East, that is controlled by OPEC, and they DO manipulate the price depending upon how much demand there is, and once demand drops off, they decide to release (pump) less, so the price will go up. I think you need to consider two points....1) no one who trades oil thinks it is going anywhere near $220 per barrel, and they are predicting it to settle between $70 and $100 per barrel over the next few weeks or months; 2)our "friends" in the Middle East who we get oil from are the Saudis...not the Iraqis. If you think we should stay in Iraq, that is one thing...but trying to justify it based on the price of oil doesn't really make sense. (sorry...I watch oil on the ticker every day). Besides, the amount of money we could save by leaving Iraq would help with our deficit. Don't forget...even the IRAQIS want us to leave by a certain date! They've said it many times!

        * Dont be so US centric. The world availablity of oil is the point. Doesn't matter where WE get if from (ie stop being US-centric), it is world wide supply and damand that matters.

        "Also....oil has dropped $40 per barrel in the last four weeks..."
        do you mean exactly since George Bush opened US oil fields to be drilled that the democrats have blocked? The ones that are NOT DRILLED TODAY BUT IN THE FUTURE? Remember oil is traded in FUTURES and SUDDENLY and MAGICALLY they dropped since the Bush initiative to open the local oil fields?

        "it has nothing to do with being or not being in Iraq. Most of Iraq's oil fields are not functioning anywhere NEAR capacity."
        exactly, TODAY. it is the FUTURES. HOW HARD IS THAT TO UNDERSTAND. (this is so tiring to explain) Now that we are there, in the near FUTURE (remember that word?) they will be drilling. So, oil FUTURES are trading down. If there is no oil on the horizen in Iraq, ie none in the FUTURE, oil FUTURES (ie future contracts) go UP, UP UP! (why is this hard to understand?)

        "Additionally, most oil traders think oil is going LOWER because the DOLLAR is strengthening right now. (Since oil is traded in dollars, when the dollar is worth more, it costs us less!)" Yes, interesting side point, AS LONG AS OIL IS TRADED IN DOLLARS. We leave IRAQ and they will be traded in Euros! Check your BBC news.

          "A last point...oil has traditionally traded much lower than it has over the last 18 months. Prior to being in Iraq, and during the first four years of being in Iraq, the price of oil was substantially lower."

          Yes, you are correct. But, unfortunatly for a country referred to as the US, and your arguement, there is a big country called CHINA, and another little morstle called INDIA that have developed an insatiable need for oil (and dirty coal that drops mercury into ever body of water in the world). You may have missed it while you were on the back porch drinking tea talking about the savior Obama, but China/India demand for oil has gone up just a huge tad in the last few months.

          "I think you need to consider two points....1) no one who trades oil thinks it is going anywhere near $220 per barrel, and they are predicting it to settle between $70 and $100 per barrel over the next few weeks or months;" first, oil traders didn't think it would get to 140 and a lot of them lost their shirts. (Hint: they are gamblers, every day) And B. they are basing their opinions on us being in Iraq. If a huricanne in the gulf, a temporary situation causes a $10 increase, what effect is Iraq being in a war pre tell?

          " 2)our "friends" in the Middle East who we get oil from are the Saudis...not the Iraqis." to insane to respond to. did you say Friends?

          If you think we should stay in Iraq, that is one thing...but trying to justify it based on the price of oil doesn't really make sense. (sorry...I watch oil on the ticker every day). Besides, the amount of money we could save by leaving Iraq would help with our deficit." uh, I have made it clear, if we leave it will cost us $56 BILLION a month. we will have $56 billion LESS money here every month. I will not call you an idiot like the dems did me, but could you please explain how that "helps with our deficit?"

          thanks

      you people drive me so nuts I did the math wrong, at 2 Billion a day it would cost us 60 billion a month!! with the cost of staying at $1 billion to $4 billion per month that means we are SAVING $56- $59 BILLION DOLLARS A MONTH BY STAYING THERE. And yes, that is $672 to $708 BILLION DOLLARS a YEAR BY STAYING. THINK WE ARE LEAVING NOW ?

    I don't appreciate a politician, especially one who obviously hasn't earned her place, mocking Obama. He is so much better than her. His life narrative & his education/career. It's easy to make fun of someone amongst people who have been making fun of him already. First of all let's remember why we quote "Palin's greatest hits" that she didn't write any of those "one liners", she delivered them well, but since she hasn't been talking to the press, or anyone for that matter, about issues I guess she's had a lot of time to practice.

      What do you mean "hasn't earned her place"?? She is the gov. of Alaska (pop. @ about 118,000) that is about 117,997 people more than what Obama has ever lead. Take off the blinders....its time to see the light.....change is coming, but not from where you think.

      Peace all

        BULL-SPIT !!!

        OBAMA REPRESENTED A STATE (ILLINOIS) AS STATE SENATOR

        OBAMA REPRESENTED HIS STATE NATIONALLY AS FEDERAL SENATOR, WHO GOT LAWS PASSED IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, BY CROSSING PARTY LINES....

        WHAT A PROGRAMMED DUMMY

        COMPARING THAT RANK STATE OF ALASKA TO THE STATE OF ILLINOIS AND THE CITY OF CHICAGO, TO WHOM OBAMA REPRESENTED BOTH STATE & NATIONALLY.

        GOOD NIGHT, YOU SNAGGLE TOOTHED JACK A!!
