    Todd Palin???s affiliation and Sarah Palin???s sympathetic addresses to the Alaska Independence Party (AIP) don???t seem to draw the same objection that Obama???s former pastor received for making anti-America comments. The AIP???s website prominently features ???Alaska First, Alaska Forever??? as their motto in sharp contrast to the RNC???s ???America First??? political sloganeering. But more alarming is the quote from its founder Joe Vogler, ???I'm an Alaskan, not an American. I've got no use for America or her damned institutions.???

    If the media is all over Obama for co-serving on a charitable board with a 60???s radical or for comments made by his former pastor, where is the scrutiny of the Palins??? anti-America sympathies?

    If the Obamas had had a similar affiliation or warm relations with say a Hawaiian Independence group encouraging secession from the United States of America as the AIP does, wouldn???t the media and all the right wing extremists be all over them?

      We do NOT CARE about all this garbage! Sarah is GREAT and will reform Washington and KEEP taxes low. As somebody who paid $107,000 in taxes last year thats ENOUGH. I want to create jobs in this country and KEEP THEM HERE. Obama will push jobs and money offshore.

      So you idiots keep bashing Sarah and watch the election slip away from you. You are a total idiot, trying to distract America who knows better. Low taxes, cheaper gas and oil, JOBS, thats Mc Cain / Palin !

    For those of you who think DESTROYING SARAH will cause us to NOT vote for Mc Cain / Palin ticket you are so wrong. I don't care if any of the stuff posted about her is true.

    Did she ban books? Don't care!
    Did she fire the trooper who may or may not have beat her sister? Don't care!
    Did she once support BRIDGE TO NOWHERE? Don't care!
    Did she ask for earmarks? Don't care!

    All I and most other republicans care about is smaller government, WINNING THE WAR IN IRAQ
    and having FRIENDLY BUSINESS policy that keeps taxes low, creates growth, creates jobs, and creates wealth. The way I look at it if you are TOO DUMB to become a millionaire in this country its your own fault, its EASY!

    The Associated Press reported Sept 3: "Palin's children attend public schools and Palin has made no push to have creationism taught in them. ... It reflects a hands-off attitude toward mixing government and religion by most Alaskans."

    The hell with the issues! So what if we are mired in a senseless war. 8,000 foreclores a day, 47 million of our fellow citizens without healthcare, unemployment at a 5 year high, the economy on a slow downwards spiral - so what? All the last 5 repub presidents reneged on their promise to shrink the government and balance the budget year after painful year - who cares?
    Let's fire up the old culture war and vote in Bush 3. Let's have pointless but heated arguments about Roe v. Wade and small town values, and call each other liberals and conservatives until we are blue in the faces. Lets's bury the issues and talk only about personalities.
    Yeaaa!!
    Republicans can't govern worth a damn but they sure know how to run a campaign.

    • Posted By: careerdaytrader @ 09/08/2008 10:05:37 PM

      You're RIGHT! Who cares about 8,000 foreclosures a day THEY DESERVE IT! Buying houses they could NOT afford or taking home equity loans each year and getting further into debt. People who this has happened to 90% deserve to get foreclosed on!

      Health care? Anybody who wasn't an idiot in high school, got a college degree HAS health insurance. The people who do NOT have health insurance are those who had irresponsible PARENTS and while they had no money they KEPT cranking out the kids, getting poorer and poorer. And of course those kids had horrible ROLE MODELS and thus grew up not going to college and NOT GETTING HEALTH INSURANCE.

      People have what they DESERVE. You make the RIGHT choices and your life turns out GREAT!

      A few years ago, 6 to be exact I was making only $37,000 to $45,000 per year and last year made $330,000 and this year it should be around $550,000.

          Neos, truth is that american can not compete. Corporate American (which is owned by many americans) has to make profit.... and they will need to go where ever necessary so they can compete in the world market ! that's the plain fact that you guys verhemingly refuse to acknowledge... but it is facts....

            How about the fact that free trade, which McCain strongly supports, pits our American workers against Vietnamese workers earning 20 cents an hour? Governmental policies have an enormous effect on the economic livelihood of its citizens. Nice dodge on the earlier post by the way. Talking about hippies and OMG Jane Fonda instead of the issues.

            • Posted By: careerdaytrader @ 09/09/2008 11:04:26 AM

              WHY should somebody just because they live HERE be paid $80,000 to make something vs paying somebody in Vietnam $1,000 per year to make the SAME item.

              That is INTELLIGENCE. Look Neos I can tell you are not a STUDENT OF US HISTORY as in the early 1900s the SAME argument was used against manufacturing jobs and farming. Now only 5% work in farming industries and the shift toward manufacturing is NOW SHIFTING TO HIGH TECH jobs!

              Those people need RE TRAINED. The solution is NOT to go back to the 50s through early 80s! If all you can do is pull a level on a factory line that is pathetic! Go get new education and learn computers, networking, programming, go into sales or other high paying jobs. Nobody is GUARANTEED a job in the US! It's land of OPPORTUNITY but YOU must make your own luck.

              As somebody who was once so poor my debit card wouldn't approve a $3.50 Jack in the Box burger to now making more than half a million a year IT IS POSSIBLE. I didn't blame the government when "I" was down on my luck, I blamed myself and TOOK ACTION.

              That's all I want you lazy, good for nothings to do too, WORK YOUR A$$es off, PULL yourself out of it.
              I LOVE America and want to preserve it, I don't want a socialist country that rewards losers and penalizes SUCCESS!

              I almost think we should split up the country along party lines - Right through the middle. Colorado and down is Republican and California and north of Colorado can go Democratic.

              Who wants to bet that the Democratic completely controlled country goes bankrupt in 20 years! Meanwhile all the high paying jobs and growth will happen in the Business FRIENDLY Republican South!

      Senseless? I really don't think so. You are starting to remind me of Jane Fonda and her hippie cohorts... Americans now, and then, just don't know how good their life is compared to others around the world.

    Responding to "willnotvoteobama"s one-handed, narrow-minded post on the Bridge to Nowhere... (pardon me anyone if I previously used inappropriate language, but that signals my frustration that some ignorant folks keep feeding voters trash):
    Palin may have said ???Thanks, but no thanks??? on the Bridge to Nowhere, though not
    until Congress had pretty much killed it already. But that was a sharp turnaround
    from the position she took during her gubernatorial campaign, and the town where
    she was mayor received lots of earmarks during her tenure.
    Palin???s accusation that Obama hasn???t authored ???a single major law or even a reform???
    in the U.S. Senate or the Illinois Senate is simply not a fair assessment. Obama
    has helped push through major ethics reforms in both bodies, for example.
    The Alaska governor avoided some of McCain???s false claims about Obama???s tax program
    ??? but her attacks still failed to give the whole story.

    Omarr - You are obviously a troll for Obama. You insult, castigate and otherwise demean people who do not subscribe to your positions. Why can't you list well thought out, articulate and supported positions of fact instead of insults and innuendo? What happened to the call for "change"? Your group is every bit as dirty, if not dirtier, than any Republican I know. Grow up.

    She's not going to WIN Pennsylvania, Ed Rendell Called palin Out as being Unfit as a Mayor of a Small TOWN, A Bad Governor and a Unfit Governor, regarding ABUSE OF POWER !!!

    AN ITS ALL SO ... TRUE
    -----------------------------
    Gov. Ed Rendell decried a double standard in the treatment of Sarah Palin on Monday, saying that if it was he who was at the center of the "Trooper Gate" Investigation,

    "The Press would be Calling For His Head"

    "She [claims to be] a Reformer," said the Pennsylvania Democrat. "And yet she is being Investigated on the charge that she Used Her Power as Governor to Fire Someone who was going through a Messy Divorce with a Relative of Hers.

    Could you imagine if I was doing the Same Thing in Pennsylvania ?

    You would be Calling for My Impeachment."

    The remarks came at the end of a long list of criticisms that Rendell, one of the foremost supporters of Sen. Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary, launched against the Republican vice presidential nominee. Ignoring the directive of the Obama campaign to focus attentions on McCain, Rendell called out Palin on everything from ETHICS TO EARMARKS.

    "[The McCain camp] has tried to again obscure the facts about Gov. Palin. 'She is a REFORMER and AGAINST EARMARKS.' NO SHE IS'NT, when she was mayor of that TOWN SHE HIRED A LOBBYIST TO GET EARMARKS...

    'She was against the Bridge to Nowhere.' No She Wasn't... She was FOR the Bridge to Nowhere First...

    She is a BUDGET BALANCER. But she left the TOWN IN GREATER DEBT then when she became Mayor !!!

    "I like her," Rendell concluded. "She is a good person, she has tremendous potential but in No Way, Shape or Form is she RERADY to be President of the United States."

I can't wait to drive by you in my beautiful BMW 335 convertible as you are broken down at the side of the road because you can't afford the $7 per gallon gas his idiotic energy policies create.

          So keep distracting people about Sarah, I LOVE HER SO MUCH, and distract people from the fact that they will lose their jobs, houses, not afford to drive under this total moron Obama.

          O'Reilly DESTROYED Obama in his interview, can't wait to watch HERO John Destroy this ZERO Obama too!

  • Posted By: Iron Horse @ 09/09/2008 10:29:59 AM

    The reason why Obama cannot stay ahead of these two Republicans despite his qualifications is because the GOPis very good at stealing campaign themes and using deception to sway what it seems they see as stupid voters.
    We are putting party ahead of America's needs. A guy who says he does not know much about the economy and his vice presidential nominee who hails from a distant place in the US and whose husband ed to be a memebr of a separatist group wanting Alaskan independence are more qualified than a guy who used to be a community organizer, lived aborad to acquire a multicultural understand of the world's problems, and who taught onstitutional law.

    • Posted By: careerdaytrader @ 09/09/2008 10:53:06 AM

      Iron Horse you are a typical Democrat DUMMY.

      First - Obama is an idiot and you are too for following him BECAUSE his higher taxes will cause business owners to raise PRICES so YOU ultimately pay the tax. Secondly by reducing money to invest there WILL be fewer jobs! Also his health insurance cost will be about $11,000 per employee which will LOSE jobs.

      Second - Rich people are SMART. There is $11 TRILLION of US rich money OFFSHORE! Under Obama this will SKY ROCKET. I'll be one of the first to move part of my business offshore to reduce taxes. Why should I support the unworking poor who are lazy and stupid or buy health insurance for idiots who didn't go to college and thus have crappy jobs? No I'll just go offshore and keep my taxes LESS than I'm paying now! I paid $107,000 in taxes last year and this year it will be around $150,000. Under Obama I will structure it so I pay about $80,000 in US tax as MY PERSONAL PROTEST to his unfair tax policies.
      The FAIR amount breaks down to $9,600 PER PERSON so most of his supporters pay ZERO TAXES, they are a huge drag on the economy and want welfare hand outs. Not by me!

      His environmental policies will lose and push another 2 to 5 million jobs outside the US.

      Higher inflation due to businesses increasing prices to cover their huge new taxes will be resolved by the Federal Reserve by RAISING INTEREST RATES. So you dumb morons will pay MORE for your house payments! That could easily be $200 to $400 per month for a $200,000 loan!

      So good luck trying the Radical Obama's crazy plan. The rich will KEEP getting richer in SAFE OFFSHORE accounts and money will be invested in OTHER countries and create JOBS in OTHER countries.

      hahaha I almost HOPE Obama gets elected to punish you dumb morons for voting for him. When I drive by you at 100mph in my beautiful 335 BMW convirtible and your car is broken down at the side of the road because you can't afford the $7 per gallon gas Obama's idiotic energy policies helped create I WILL LAUGH MY RICH ASS OFF !!!!!

    Common knowledge that the Hussein campaign is struggling financially. Look who got caught trying to help out...........

    Let???s start a daily count of how long it takes for the USA Main Stream NoMedia to pick up on this obvious effort on the part of the Nigerian Stock Exchange to illegally influence an American Presidential election.

    Nigerian anti-graft investigators have seized money raised by the head of the Nigerian Stock Exchange to support US presidential candidate Barack Obama.

    The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission said it would give the money back to those who attended a gala dinner in Lagos last month.

    The EFCC said it had seized 74m naira ($630,000, £314,000), but said no Nigerian laws had been broken.

    US political parties are not allowed to receive contributions from abroad.

    The mohammed messiah just can't "buy" a break.

    NOBAMA!!!

      Stock exchange chairwoman Ndi Okereke-Onyuike is also the head of Africans for Obama, a Nigeria-based support group.

      She was interviewed by the EFCC after media reports that the Obama campaign had disassociated itself from the group. (another one under the bus).

      There is not one Nigerian who doesn???t have a relative or friend in America

      Ndi Okereke-Onyuike
      Africans for Obama

      Mrs Okereke-Onyiuke said in August there had been a misunderstanding in the press regarding the event.

      The money was going to be spent on adverts encouraging Nigerians in the US to vote for Mr Obama, she said.

      Tickets to the lavish event in Lagos on 11 August cost more than $21,000 (£11,000) for an eight-person table.

      "We never said we were going to donate money for the campaign," she said.

      "We paid for the hall and the entertainers and the surplus, we said would be spent on advertisements aimed at persuading Nigerians to tell their relatives in America to register to vote."

      "There is not one Nigerian who doesn???t have a relative or friend in America. Our aim was to encourage those people to tell their family who have the right to vote in America to vote for Obama."

    The Politico has more:

    While Palin's office framed the departure as an "amicable" mutual decision, Bitney told Politico that Sarah and Todd Palin "were upset with me about my divorce and who I was dating, and they didn't want that in the governor's office. I wanted to stay with the governor and support the governor -- we're talking about someone who's been a friend for 30 years -- but I understood it, and I have no ax to grind over the whole thing."

    Still, Bitney took a line from the "Seinfeld" character Elaine, deeming Palin "a bad breaker-upper."


    Palin also fired, according to the Politico, "a campaign adviser whose mother-in-law fought Palin's legislative agenda, a local political mentor who she felt represented the "old boys' network," a police chief who she said tried to intimidate her with "stern look[s]" and a state commissioner who refused to fire her sister's ex-husband."

  • Posted By: Omaar @ 09/09/2008 10:44:25 AM

    Sarah Palin and John Bitney go way back. They were in the same junior-high band class. Mr. Bitney was a key aide in Gov. Palin's 2006 gubernatorial campaign. When she took office, she gave Mr. Bitney a job as her legislative director, and a few months later stood beside him at a news conference and praised his work.

    "Whatever you did, you did it right," she told Mr. Bitney and his team.

    Seven weeks later she fired Mr. Bitney for what her spokeswoman now describes as "poor job performance."

    What happened in between? According to Mr. Bitney, Gov. Palin got a call from another old friend, Scott Richter, informing her that his wife, Debbie Richter, and Mr. Bitney were having an affair. Mr. Bitney had kept that secret from the governor, even as he told her of his divorce, he said.
    When Gov. Palin was notified by Mr. Richter in July 2007, she called Mr. Bitney into her office. She already knew he was going through a divorce, and, Mr. Bitney said, he had "led her to believe there weren't going to be any more surprises."

    Mr. Bitney said the governor "indicated to me that she was hurt, disappointed and upset, and that she didn't know what she wanted to do."

    A few days later, Gov. Palin's chief of staff "indicated to me that I needed to leave the governor's office," Mr. Bitney said.

          The remarks came at the end of a long list of criticisms that Rendell, one of the foremost supporters of Sen. Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary, launched against the Republican vice presidential nominee. Ignoring the directive of the Obama campaign to focus attentions on McCain, Rendell called out Palin on everything from ETHICS TO EARMARKS.

          "[The McCain camp] has tried to again obscure the facts about Gov. Palin. 'She is a REFORMER and AGAINST EARMARKS.' NO SHE IS'NT, when she was mayor of that TOWN SHE HIRED A LOBBYIST TO GET EARMARKS...

          'She was against the Bridge to Nowhere.' No She Wasn't... She was FOR the Bridge to Nowhere First...

          She is a BUDGET BALANCER. But she left the TOWN IN GREATER DEBT then when she became Mayor !!!

          "I like her," Rendell concluded. "She is a good person, she has tremendous potential but in No Way, Shape or Form is she RERADY to be President of the United States."

    And what is hypocrtical and contradictory about this election that only smart minds are able to recognize is that Palin supported the Bridge to Nowhere (or should I say Bridge to Hell?) . She switched her position only when Cognress pulled the plug on it, but she diverted the money already there for projects else where. So contradictory because McCain was very much opposed against this hypocritical project, yet he chose the woman who initially supported it as his vice presidential nominee.
    I wonder, then, if the two will be fighting in the White House over contradictory beliefs that thee will be no time for major policy accomplishment. I swear that the only reasons voters are voting for her are: 1. she is white; 2. She is from asmall-town who does not understand the larger global community and has the brainof a simple life; 3. she is woman and needed as a window dressing and bait for female voters and men who vote on the basis of good looks without regard for the greatness of America and its security and future; 4. she is the sweetheart of social conservatives who stand in the way of global progress and who might agree that the war in Iraq however bloodly and however many civilians died (isn't the goal of God and Jesus peace?) died.

      THE TRUTH ABOUT THE BRIDGE ! http://www.retireted.com/category/real-estate/gravina-bridge/

    I watched O'Reilly last night. In my opinion the program of Obama about taxes was right. O'reilly's question was focused on the communal redistribution of wealth which I think is not the real motive on Obama's program. I have a Chinese friend whose uncle is in mainland communist China. She spoke to me openly about how her uncle live under this type of political-economic system. The same clothes, the same food, they received equal amount of allowances for some other personal needs. This is the real scenario of redistribution of weath. In Obama's program, he emphasizes that those who do not have enough will be given support in order for them to live a decent life. And those who have more than enough can take their wealth and spend it for whatever luxury they want to endulge in. What is distributed here is the taxes that is due to the government, not the wealth of the millionaires and the capitalists of the United states of America. There's nothing wrong with this program. For me this is much better than spending billions of dollars sending our soldiers to wars which Palin not even sure whether this is the will of God or not. She still has to solicit God's approval for it based on her statement above.

      i watched as well and in my opinion the conversation is nill.. just because he says one thing it don't mean thats what he will do in his policy on line at his web site it paints a very different picture .just because oreilly was riding him on it and it caused a change in stance on-air don't mean that it will become policy ! all politicans have a way to twist the policy to fit the intended crowd! same goes for mccain.... what we have to do as americans is take a good look and ask ourselfs if he can do what he is saying .. is it really possible to raise taxes during a economic down turn and expect to balance the budget? not likely and now if you factor in the freddie mac / fannie mae ( who the hell names these companies ) fiasco we got to add in billions if not trillions of dollars in a bail out .. and that just don't seem like a good idea to expect the taxpayer to foot the bill on that... also keep in mind that 37% of the base of obama's plan don't pay taxes anyway they all get returns without ever paying any in ... the tax paln is a farce that can not be done without raising taxes on all working people that earn over 60,000 a year and in this day and age that is a small wage to make it on not to mention paying for a college loan or house payment ! god forbid if this policy makes it into law !!
