An Apostle of Alaska

McCain's judgement should be seriously questioned! He made a terrible mistake in picking Plain. Obvious fact: in the wake of the government taking over Fannie Mae and Freedie Mac - here's what Sarah Palin had to say below. Sarah Palin is seriously under-qualified for a job that McCain (should he win - which I don't see it happening) that she has ABSOULTELY NO KNOWLEDGE of national or foreign policy and lacks the understanding for a wide array of issues right now!! Palin is not ready to be VP for anybody!!
Gov. Sarah Palin made her first potentially major gaffe during her time on the national scene while discussing the developments of the perilous housing market this past weekend.

Speaking before voters in Colorado Springs, the Republican vice presidential nominee claimed that lending giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac had "gotten too big and too expensive to the taxpayers." The companies, as McClatchy reported, "aren't taxpayer funded but operate as private companies. The takeover may result in a taxpayer bailout during reorganization."

Economists and analysts pounced on the misstatement, saying it demonstrated a lack of understanding about one of the key economic issues likely to face the next administration.

"You would like to think that someone who is going to be vice president and conceivable president would know what Fannie and Freddie do," said Dean Baker, co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research. "These are huge institutions and they are absolutely central to our country's mortgage debt. To not have a clue what they do doesn't speak well for her, I'd say."
Even conservative analysts acknowledged that the statement simply did not hold true.

benjizay, your comments contradict themselves. maybe you should run for office. LOL

I would like to address the fact that the McCain-Palin supporters seem to be under the delusion that they are going to overturn Roe v. Wade when they are elected....George Bush had 8 years to make meaningful abortion reforms with a Republican majority congress for 6 years and conservative Supreme Court apointees in his corner.....they will NEVER overturn the aboriton laws....it is only a way for them to rally your anger and get you to vote for them.....the politics of fear....Mrs. Palin is supposedly for abstinence but ever herself according ot this article had sex before marriage...."she eloped and EIGHT months later had her first child"...also...she has a special needs child and claimed in her speech that Americans with special needs children had an ally in her.....this year and through to 2009 she slashed the Alaskan Special Needs Education budget by 62%......in other words she is more of the same.....she is as hypocritical as they come....

This is one in a list of articles I have read from Newsweek where there is a subtle (or not so subtle) slant in favor of Obama. Ok, Newsweek, we know what side you are on, so now can you do something totally radical and report the news?? It would be a refreshing change to hear an unbiased story (maybe a detailed article on what Biden believes), so you actually HELP voters get informed. You might find that voters are smarter than you give them credit and able to make up their own minds.

Obama should have chosen Hillary as his running mate (Better still she should have been at the top of the ticket). He should not have listened to Nancy Pelosi, Caroline Kennedy, Ted Kennedy, Daschle, Bradley et al... All of them were insecure and they were all feeling inadequate about the votes Hillary was bringing in - 18 million. You build from a position of strength. Hillary was strong and she was a fighter. She would have made the ticket strong.
Biden is gone from the radar. This is going to be a long slog. I am afraid that Obama might lose. This was going to be a Democratic year. This is depressing. We are going to be saddled with McCain / Palin for 4 years (at least).

All the obamamohammeds are upset, that their "messiah" is being mocked...for being a community organizer. Well, if the shoe fits...

Nobody is mocking community organizers in church basements and community centers across the country working to improve their neighbors' lives. What deserves ridicule is the notion that Hussein's brief stint as a South Side rabble-rouser for tax-subsidized, partisan nonprofits qualifies as executive experience you can believe in.

What deserves derision is "community organizing" that relies on a community of homeless people and ex-cons to organize for the purpose of registering dead people to vote, shaking down corporations and using the race card as a bludgeon.

And Jesus was not a community organizer. He is the Messiah......Hussein Obama IS NOT.

NOBAMA!!!

man my eyes are going bad and i'm starting to get paranoid these liberals don't care!! don't they know i suffer from Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia ?

Real Southern: I am happy to hear you are looking deeper than the fact that Obama is black. It really bothers me when people make this election all about race. I like how you restated my comment saying that I said "only gays and black would vote for him". You have forgotten about the ones who are pro-abortion. This is the reason I am voting for McCain-Palin.

To jmd8888 I'm African American and yes I'm voting for Obama. But guess what? It wasn't until after the Iowa Primary when Blacks started swaying towards Obama. It's about the issues. And his issues are align with the troubles this country is facing. Why don't you be real with reality on the reason why you're voting for McCain-Palin. You can't turn a blind eye to what damage the Republicans have done within the past eight years. And also, gays and blacks were not the only ones that voted for Obama - check the facts! Oh, I'm sorry - you're voting for McCain. Go figure.

Here is the link to The Anchroage Daily News that deserves viewing to understand Governor Palin's position on separation of church and state.
