Beware the Barracuda

18 lies???? Really? I'm sure you could name them because you're probably reciting Barak America's talking points . . . how many times has he lied??? Public funding, earmark's for his wife's hosptial, military service, not visiting troops, Jeremiah Wright . . . the lack of coverage regarding Barak is abusurd. A DNC pac in Alaska has credited Palin for stopping that bridge, and yes, she did put the jet on ebay. That is eventually sold thru a broker doesn't make that a lie. I guess you're one of those dailykos subscribers who thinks she's lying about giving birth to her youngest son. Keep drinking Barak's koolaid, it will be very expensive should he win!!!!

There is plenty for the democrats to hit Sarah Palin about. Palin is no Hillary Clinton and that's because Hillary didn't make stuff up!! Sarah Palin lied 18 times in her convention speech. Now the truth is really going to come out about her! What kind of character does this woman have?
We are open minded. So open minded that we do use our brains and think for ourselves! We don't let one policitical party tell us a bunch of lies, make things up and then try to sell them as truth!! Talk about character!!
"The McCain camp has tried to again obscure the facts about Gov. Palin. 'She is a reformer and against earmarks.' No she isn't, 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, so she is not a budget balancer."

"She is a good person, she has tremendous potential but in no way shape or form is she ready to be president of the United States."

"She claims to be a reformer. " "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 anyone else was doing the same thing in Pennsylvania or any other state? They would be calling for that govenor's impeachment." Imagine if Barack was in the situation - WHOA!! would the media and everyone come down on him.

Well Mr. Fineman, I hope you enjoy the fine mess you and your sexist buddies in the media have gotten us into. As a democrat who harped on you constantly to back Hillary Clinton for at least Veep, to your totally deaf sexist ears, I hope you are enjoying seeing the democrats in dire trouble now. It sure was nice for you to back the inexperienced guy over the more experienced woman and how you must have jumped for joy when the fix was in nominating him. Oh yeah, I forgot, it was for that miraculous fine judgment Obama was supposed to have, that same judgment that made him and his team so full of themselves they thought they didn't even need to consider Clinton or her 18 million backers for VP. Yes, some of us will find it in ourselves to hold our nose and vote for the undeserving Obama, and some of us will stay home and some of us will write in Clinton. If you are worth anything, Mr. Fineman, maybe you can convince your pals in Obamaland that they need to do something beyond their regular B.S. symbolism to remedy the situation. Like making maybe making Bill Clinton head of the Treasury, or frankly, anything he wants but tying him to the economy and Obama would be Obama's best shot at being elected. Also make a public (and I mean public because this is for Hillary Clinton's supporters more even more than her) offer of a post of her choice, or get Biden to step aside and put her on for VP like he should have in the first place. Duh. I can't believe how this Obama guy campaigned on a sugary unity theme and then ignored getting the 18 million Clinton voters on board with him right off the bat. Yes, the Clintons bring baggage but some of that baggage is the memory of a great economy and a country at peace.

Barry. I am worried. I am. That old hobbit is ahead in the polls. How did it happen? Your coronation was such a hit....I hate that old frog....and his Stepford wife too. And the worst part is the thought of trailer trash from Alaska living at the VP mansion. Some of their kind might even be allowed to stay at the Lincoln bedroom. Mary Lincoln is probably rolling in her grave. And where are all those kids gonna go to school? My mom says that none of the private schools in Washington serve moose. That Palin crowd has probably never set foot in a Barney or Sachs Fifth Avenue. They probably have never even heard of Zaabar. But my dad says you still have a chance if you get rid of Biden and run with Hillary. He says you should have him feign an illness or that you should dig up some dirt on him and force him to resign. Sounds good. Don't it?

Hey Howard,

Aren't you a member of the media? Why is it up to the Democrats to "prospect for ammunition" about this completely obscure newcomer to the scene? I would think you, as a reporter and editorial writer, woud be absolutely ravenous for information about an unknown person that could very likely have their finger on the button should anything happen to McCain (if he gets elected). We are already aware of everything you just told us about Palin. Aren't any of you in the media just a little bit curious? I know I sure am. Are you afraid the Republicans will accuse you of picking on Palin if you dig a little bit? Or are your GOP bosses reining you in? The American public would very much appreciate anyone in the media who brings us some truth. Go Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, and Bill Maher. You guys are the only ones bringing the truth. Comedy Central and HBO are doing the job. A lot of us out here appreciate that.

Joe Biden, the democrats' answer to the white-haired McCain, is going to look washed out an worn out, no matter how much his sharp tongue wags, when he comes up against the attractive pit bull with lipstick. This woman, Ms. Palin, is vibrant, smart, and wickedly funny. And she runs Alaska. The democrats have met their doom. They have no more foreign policy experience than she has, and Barak Hussein Obama has never shot a caribou, then cooked it for supper. This is going to be fun to watch.

So if Sarah Palin is so wonderful, then why isn't she talking to the press? Why are McCain's cronies trying to block an investigation on her?

You are an inspiration - what a great story.

No so elusive anymore! Please see below:

This is a newsworthy story in light of American's current concern regarding Sarah Palin's effectiveness as a VP candidate!


Since all Americans are questioning McCain's judgment about picking Sarah Palin and at the core of everyone's concern is her inexperience and utter lack of foreign or national policy understanding - I think it's important that the American people know about this mistake as soon as Sarah was not around one of Bush's speech writers and did not have a teleprompter in front of her!!

By the way - hopefully "Softball" Gibson will ask Sarah Palin the tough questions that the American voters need to know and understand about her qualifications to be VP - which being a gritty mother of 5 is not one of them - respectful and demanding in it's own right - but certainly not a qualification to be VP of the United States!! Let's hope you write about this first mistake - I'm sure of many more to come - about how inexperienced and unqualified Sarah Palin really is. See below...

McCain's judgment 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 Freddie 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 ABSOLUTELY 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.

Thank you.

The American people need to know about his mistake and how terribly unqualified Sarah Palin is!!!

McCain's judgement should be seriously questioned! He made a terrible mistake in picking Plain.

She's pro-life, opposing abortion in all cases except when the mother's life is in danger. She opposes same-sex marriage and favors teaching creationism alongside evolution in schools. But she hasn't pushed for legislative changes in any of those areas.

To me that says that she recognizes the limits of government and the importance of personal choice.

The usual tripe one expects from "that guy from the Obama network" as Pennsylvania Democrat Governor Ed Rendell called Fineman. Truer words are rarely spoken.

Goodness Howard. Should we just all bow out and let Sarah Palin become the President.
What ever happened to investigative journalism?? Is that gone??
She snubs the press and they drool all over her. Get on the internet, she's got a questionable past. Go investigate. Alaska, its northwest of Seattle.
