Drawing Even

Senator Biden was described as looking "hemorrhoidal" by a spectator at today's speech outside of Detroit. Said the spectator: "He just does not seem to have his heart in it. I don't know what is wrong with him. He was saying all the right words, but did not seem to mean them. He looked constipated. I kept wishing that it was Hillary who was giving the speech." Other folks echoed this sentiment. Said a working mom from Flint: "I miss Hillary's passion and energy."

I have a crazy idea: what if we secede from the USA, let the obama supporters have CA & NY, name the new nation Nobama States....when that happen, we would effectively be a foreign nation to the USA... do you think they would come over and kiss our A!! then?

Whoopi.... omaar is taking a diarrhea break... if I am his friend, I would advise him to take a couple of obamacicillin... that would reverse the diarrhea into constipation-like effect really fast...

Deep divisions and acrimony in the Obama camp over the role of Michelle Obama in the weeks remaining in the campaign. There is a sense that she has been underutilzed so far. Some folks close to Obama are urging him to let Michelle make stops in battleground states and land some body blows on Palin. Michelle Obama would be used to point out Palin's lack of education, to mock her creationist beliefs, and ridicule her pro life stand.

Omaar,

Dude, you're like a parrot and/or broken record. You keep posting the same ol' crap over and over again. Get some new material my man!

BIG NOTE: ???Sarah and I are both girls. We both wear glasses. We both have families that we???re very proud of. But Sarah does not believe in a woman???s right to reproductive choice and I do. Sarah doesn???t believe in a woman???s right to equal pay for equal work and I do.

Sarah doesn???t believe in a solid science-based education as the foundation of truth and learning and I do,??? Judge said. ???Sarah is taking a job that will put her within a heartbeat of the presidency of my country, and that scares me to death.???

Judge also poked fun at the details that have become widely noted and reported about the array of outdoor activities Palin enjoys in rural Alaska.

???Sarah knows how to field-dress a moose. I know how to castrate a calf. Neither of those things has anything at all to do with this election. But since we know so much about Sarah???s special skills, I wanted to make sure you knew about mine too,??? she said.

Judge dismissed the idea McCain surrogates have put forward about the possibility former Hillary Clinton supporters may throw their support to Palin.

???If John McCain thinks women are than stupid, he is wrong,??? she said. ???In summary, just because you have a pantsuit, that does not qualify you for the sisterhood.???

Iowa???s First Lady Mari Culver likened the day???s cold, overcast, and windy conditions to her feelings about Palin???s spot on the GOP ticket.

???I haven???t been this cold since John McCain announced Sarah Palin as his running mate,??? she said.

Harkin himself spent a few minutes weighing in on the Republican ticket. He said what troubled him most was Palin selling herself as a conservative that has a track record of cutting wasteful government spending.

???When I saw her get up and talk about all these earmarks, I said ???Wait a minute, what???s going on here? Did I wake up in a parallel universe???? When she was mayor she got more earmarks for her town per capita than any city in the United States of America,??? he said. ???This February, as the governor, she requested $270 million in earmarks from our committee.???

Harkin also took aim at the factual accuracy of claims Palin continues to make about specific instances she rejected pork barrel spending.

???She keeps saying she stopped that ???Bridge to Nowhere??? -- not true,??? he said. ???In November of 2006 Congress stopped the ???Bridge to Nowhere.??? Here???s the kicker -- she kept the money.???

Harkin concluded by saying Palin has ???more earmarks than John McCain has houses.???

Hey... if anybody care to know.... Lehman went bankrupted today. Dick Fuld, the CEO (he made $100 millon the last three years) is an Obama supporter democrat....

Iowa-Politics: Judge and other Dems take on Palin's credentials

INDIANOLA -- The Harkin Steak Fry is traditionally a fundraiser that acts as a stage to rally Democrats around their candidates in addition to highlighting a star of the party. While this year???s gathering did all of those things, it also gave top Iowa Democrats a forum to throw in their two cents about the Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin.

Iowa Lt. Gov. Patty Judge that spent the most time talking about Palin. She began by joking that she???s heard people try to draw parallels between the female governor and herself and said she wanted to highlight the distinctions in their public service record.

NOTE: ???I???ve been elected TWICE to the Iowa state Senate, I???ve been elected TWICE as the first woman in the state to serve as secretary of agriculture, and two years ago I was elected lieutenant governor to serve with my great friend Chet Culver,??? Judge said. ???So count ???em up:

Sarah, less than two years; Patty, 16 years.???

She went on to highlight the differences in their policy stances.

???Sarah and I are both girls. We both wear glasses. We both have families that we???re very proud of. But Sarah does not believe in a woman???s right to reproductive CHOICE and I do. Sarah doesn???t believe in a woman???s right to equal pay for equal work and I do. Sarah doesn???t believe in a solid science-based education as the foundation of truth and learning and I do,??? Judge said. ???Sarah is taking a job that will put her within a heartbeat of the presidency of my country, and that scares me to death.???

McCain's Earmark Lie: Palin actually grubs $1 mil/day as Gov.

Mon Sep 15, 2008 at 03:00:11 PM PDT

The Wall Street Journal:

Last week, Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain said his running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, hadn't sought earmarks or special-interest spending from Congress, presenting her as a fiscal conservative. But state records show Gov. Palin has asked U.S. taxpayers to fund $453 million in specific Alaska projects over the past two years.

It's been 652 days since Earmark Queen Sarah Palin took office as Governor of Alaska.

In that time, she's hustled for $453,000,000 in federal lipstick pork.

That's $694,785.28 a day. Six hundred ninetey-four thousand, seven hundred and eight five dollars and twenty-eight cents. Every day. Even Sundays!

Palin was grubbing six hundred ninetey-four thousand, seven hundred and eight five dollars and twenty-eight cents out of the federal trough on the very day when John McCain looked America in the eye and said she was taking zero.

And she took it again today, too.

And she took it on every one of the 312 nights she spent at home and billed the Alaskan taxpayers for it.

So why say it's a million dollars a day? Well, first, let me show you what Slick Sarah Palin is telling people:

On the campaign trail, Gov. Palin has repeatedly attacked Sen. Obama on earmarks. "Our opponent has requested nearly one billion dollars in earmarks in three years. That's about a million for every working day," she said at a rally in Albuquerque, N.M.

Ohhhh, this feels like it's going to get embarrassing in a second....

And, behold! Look what "The Math" says!

It is difficult to compare Sen. Obama's earmark record with Gov. Palin's -- their states differ in size, for instance, and the two candidates play different roles in the process. But using the same calculation that the McCain campaign uses, the total amount of earmarked dollars divided by the number of working days while each held office (assuming a five-day workweek, every week, for both), Gov. Palin sought $980,000 per workday, compared with roughly $893,000 for Sen. Obama.

CHANGE We Can Believe In???... Hussein "I don't take lobbyist $$$" Obama...SURE...

4. Clinton, Hillary S D-NY $75,550

5. Kanjorski, Paul E H D-PA $65,500"

Sen John McCain...$19,000 in 20 YEARS TOTAL

Such a hypocrite...not to mention...A Crook and a Fraud.....

NOBAMA!!!

This B!tch was not Vetted At All....Mccain's EarMark Queen of the Frozen Tundra !!!

Not only is Palin taking much more, but oh my word if the million dollar figure doesn't actually fit her sooooo much better than the person she's trying to use it against! What a surprise!

So that's almost a million dollars a day, whether she showed up at the office or not. A million bucks, plus $60 in her pocket for defrosting one of her own mooseburgers for lunch.

And really, Palin must be asking herself, why not chisel the Alaska state government a little bit? After all:

The state's earmark requests stand out in part because its state government is among the wealthiest in the U.S. Flush with oil and gas royalties, it doesn't impose income or sales taxes. In fact, money flows the other way: Every man, woman and child this year got a check for $3,200.

Gosh, but they're such rugged individualists up there! They're gonna launch themselves into orbit with those bootstraps, don'tcha know?

A million dollars a day. From you and me. Plus $3,200 in the bank for each one of 'em. And $60 in Sarah's pocket for every lunch at home. (Like every working mom, of course!)

It's the new fiscal responsibility, in John McCain's seven house-owning, $5 million middle class living world!
