    Funny, Nightslime IS following pubican talking points. The stor of sore looser Alice getting thrown under the bus is all over today. What is tomorrow slander point? Obamas connection to Saddam Husseim?

    • Posted By: careerdaytrader @ 09/17/2008 2:20:51 PM

      Yes his connection to Saddam's money men is a good point, thanks for starting it!

    Alice Palmer is distancing herself from people wanting to use her against Obama. She wholeheartedly endorses the Obama Campaign. See Washington Post, Washington Times, etc etc

      Oh so you are saying that Obama didn't use legal methods to force her to resign her bid for re election?

      Am I lying about that? No! The truth hurts doesn't it moron.

    We shouldn't be worried most about her social conservative/evangelical views -- although the story recently posted about her ties to a Kenyan minister who ran a witch hunt, if true, are a real eye-opener (see Drudge, 9/17). She ran as a "reformer," railing againt the "old-boy network." What the GOP seems to overlook is that the "old boy network" was made up of Republicans. COmbined that with the vague promises to "sheke things up" and "break some china" when McCain and Palin go to Washington, and the GOP ought to be nervous. What happens when both of them decide that Mitch McConnell, John Boehner, et al, are part of the old boy network? I foresee a frosty relationship between McCain and Congressional Repulbicans.

    The other thing that strikes me about Sarah Palin is this -- she looks and acts exactly like what she is -- an aging beauty queen who still has most of her looks. She seems to have a problem with people who disagree with her, who oppose her. If she can, she fires them. If not, she shuns them, even if they are close political allies (such as the friend who began dating the ex-spouse of another friend). Her answers are well-practiced, and sound like ones she might give in a beauty pageant. They show no real understanding of the issues, any clue that she's given them thoughtt.

    I'm a Reagan Democrat who voted for the GOP in the '90s, but finally deserted the party over the Iraq War. Reagan at least had deep ideological convictions, which he arrived at after some long, thorough process (see Martin Anderson's books, or Peggy Noonan's What I Saw at the Revolution). He made the journey from the New Deal to Goldwater backer over a period of years, after much personal experience as a labor leader (head of SAG), and working for other candidates.

    Sarah Palin is no Ronald Reagan, nor Margaret Thatcher. She has, as far as I can tell, no core, no center. All she stands for, all McCain stands for, is "reform." Fine -- bur "reform" of what, exactly? It appears more and more that "reform" is a very self-centered, opportunistic credo, a neat way to campaign, but not a governing philosophy. It's also pretty subjective, and with Palin I think it comes down to her getting her own way, calling it "reform," and those who oppose her are part of the "pld boys' network" who are against The People. There is a lot more to her, a lot of it negative, that will be discovered, and unfortunatley McCain has sprung her on the publci with such short notice, and played the victim card so well, that we may not know it until after the election.

      I love her and most of the American people LOVE her. She will someday be your President. Get used to her. haha

        You repeat yourself. Pay attention to the market insted. It's down 262 right now. AAron rents is going to come get your computer

          I love how DUMB you guys are. Ever hear of shorting? It's when you sell a stock now and buy it back later at a lower price and a profit.

          Also I typically trade currencies most days and not stock. I sold the EUR/JPY which is EURO against the JPY and made my quota for the day. Don't worry about me, I got the trading covered. haha your true ignorance cracks me up! I know you're poor, nobody with your level of stupidity could have any money.

          • Posted By: Toomanylies @ 09/17/2008 1:24:46 PM

            Shorting, lets see, is that what happened to your appendage before you became a woman. Dow is sown 359. Get bust. Wash your short out. I can smell them over here.

        • Posted By: careerdaytrader @ 09/17/2008 1:15:51 PM

          Go google Alice Palmer DUMMY. Your ignorance astounds me.

          She was his mentor and he THREW HER UNDER THE BUS just like he did his racist minister and just like he does his brother George in Kenya who lives on $1 a day while his rich brother won't help him or give him money. Obama is a scum bag and its the STUPIDITY of his followers that even keeps him in the race.

    Is this the best mud you can sling???? Surely, she's had someone killed or lied under oath, denying having sex , or "lifted" articles from the Alaska "white house" upon lleaving........oh yeah, that was the other one.

  • Posted By: Toomanylies @ 09/16/2008 7:51:09 PM

    FYI: Gov. Palins earmark request this year come out to $506.34 for every man, woman and child in Alaska. Yet she gives out $3269 for every person living in Alaska for at least a year. They are closing Libraries, cutting back on Police, Fire, and social services in General, but she is buying the votes of 610768 Alaskans. The amount of money Alaska has been getting from "Uncle Ted" is way out of proportion with the amount they send to Washington. The amount she is giving to Alaskans is 2 Billion$. I understand the cost of living is really high there, but unlike Hawaii, over half the population are relative newcomers, drawn by free money, which once you get there is not free at all.

    • Posted By: careerdaytrader @ 09/16/2008 11:38:06 PM

      Obama has requested about $930 MILLION in earmarks in the short 2/3 years he's been a US Senator.

      Want to know Mc Cain's in the 20+ years he's been there? ZERO - The man has integrity and DOES PUT COUNTRY FIRST rather than just HIS career like loser Obama. I am loving this election now, guaranteed win for true Americans!

      • Posted By: careerdaytrader @ 09/17/2008 8:21:39 AM

        Yeah just like I thought the TRUTH you can't argue with. Obama is corrupt and Mc Cain is the great REFORMER and TRUE CHANGE!

  • Posted By: TruthForward @ 09/13/2008 1:42:18 PM

    Well, here is some information on Obama's tax cuts for the middle class. And the tax code will not be thousands of pages long with Obama.

      You're wasting your time. If these people believe that stuff it's because they are low normal and probably can't read anyway-just like George Bush! It will be fun when Palin goes to the slammer and they finish the DNA tests on the daughter to see who's baby Trig really is! So much for their conservative ideas aye?

            As a "newbie" to these posts..... it is BLARING OBVIOUS that "toomanylies" works, lives and breathes the same stale air that the Republicans have been and still continue to spout....

            Bring some thing new to these discussions - not hate -FACTS..... mmmm my guess is you are a white male, in your mid-forties, high school educated and out of work...... and the most important fact of all a "frustrated Republican.

  • Posted By: mcgreen @ 09/16/2008 11:13:35 PM

    Palin;'s personality type is not a good fit for a diverse nation - she'll be busy trying to pigeonhole people into her acceptable views of the world, her religious views.

    She seems to be very authoritarian. Why can't we get a diplomat, a statesman, a candidate with a brain?

      • Posted By: careerdaytrader @ 09/17/2008 8:10:17 AM

        Yes Democrats don't realize in white blue collar areas in KEY BATTLEGROUND STATES Obama will lose 10 to 20% of the blue collar white vote just because he's black. It's the first time in my life I'm glad some people are racist. I don't hate him because he's black, I hate him for thinking he CAN be president, that he wants to teal from hard working and successful people and give it to the poor blacks and other non working groups. Racism alone will guarantee his loss. His only hope was Hillary but he was TOO SEXIST to pick her. Or she knew he'd lose and she could run again in 4 years!

  • Posted By: Toomanylies @ 09/16/2008 11:18:25 PM

    It is high time that people like myself and Bloodhound start calling Bulls**t on all the lies being posted by right wing operatives. Lies and deception are how they stole the last two elections. I remember leaving a music festival in Florida the Sunday before the elections, with some old fool in a Cadillac plantig very libelous signs along the road, accusing Senator Gore of wanting to loot the Social Security Trust Fund, Having conspired to sell our National Parks, and being a Homosexual. I actually turned around, pulled up 37 signs he had planted, and confronted him. He started spouting about his freedom of speed etc, and for the first timne in my life, I punched someone out. I took all his remaining signs and set them on fire, taking his car keys and tossing them into the bushes, before leaving. On Tuesday night, I went to bed about 3 AM, knowing that we won. Imagine my surprise when I woke up on wednesday, to the beginning of the Coup d'etat, that would eventually bring us "W" the dumbest person ever appointed to the White House. Imagine that. We are about to come out of our long National Nightmare, but we have to fight for it. We can not let the right wing nut LIARS continue to invade blogs with lies and fabrication. I urge everyone that reads this, to go to as many blogs as you can, and answer the lies, call them liars, and tell all your friends to do the same, because this time, our FREEDOM is at stake. The next president will probably get to appoint 3 Justices to the Supreme court, to Join the Extreme right wingnuts that are subverting our constitution.

      You're a moron and haven't REFUTED one point.

      How is Obama going to radically raise taxes - social security taxes, capital gains taxes, income taxes, gas taxes during this horrible economy and STILL CREATE 5 MILLION NEW JOBS?

      Answer this, NOBODY has so far because you can't and he has NO CLUE how he will either but it SOUNDS good. Just like CHANGE sounds good. Nothing to it, all hot air, but it SOUNDS good. To win Democrat votes you NEED NO SUBSTANCE, just look polished, look intelligent,and SOUND good.

      You guys just prove the PUBLIC schools suck and we need to overhaul education.

      I'll take the HERO Mc Cain vs Obama who voted PRESENT half the time and wasn't even smart enough to make a decision on half the votes. But he did say "I'm here! Present!" haha he's the biggest American joke in modern history.

  • Posted By: leighjamesleigh @ 09/17/2008 7:47:32 AM

    As per both republican and democratic strategists, reporters and newsmagazines, Palin is presently being "tutored" in healthcare, foreign policy, global warming and other complex issues so she can learn and understand them before taking office and no one is allowed to interview her until she is "ready" said her press representative on Fox News. Brilliant. She fires her own police chief because he wanted some gun control restrictions, as most police do. To put it mildly, Palin is in bed with the NRA. Hey, everybody needs an automatic weapon in their home or car. I believe Palin is patriotic, she's in great physical shape and can shoot, give her an automatic weapon and send her to Iraq where she can make a real difference.

  • Posted By: RU Kidding @ 09/17/2008 2:35:52 AM

    When it comes to the "VP" test, looks like Palin is failin'.

  • Posted By: whitedebra @ 09/17/2008 12:14:14 AM

    I don't see that McCain stole Obama's slogan of change. What I see is that he admitted Obama was correct in saying it all along and felt he needed to use it too. McCain can't steal anything from Obama. Thanks for confirming the message of change Senator McCain..

    Sarah Palin does not have a brain.. she will never be responsible for anything she does because she is a robot.... she does it because God tells her to... Do we really want this women close to the red button...???????

  • Posted By: 50yrsyoung @ 09/16/2008 3:39:38 PM

    I am from rural America. My questions are: what mayor from a town this size hires a washington lobbyist and goes after ear marks? What mayoral candidate in this size of town runs on NRA issues? What mayoral candidate in this size of town runs on Anti-abortion issues? Usually there are local town issues such as roads, sewers, garbage, schools, speed limits, bar closing times, parking issues, traffic flow, etc. What is really going on here? I smell that there is something else here that no one sees as of yet.

    • Posted By: getoverit44 @ 09/16/2008 11:53:23 PM

      It is time the people of United States stop stressing about Palin.. If she can't stand the heat.. she should get out of the kitchen.. You folks have a lot bigger problems right now to content with. Your economy is on the brink of disaster and you are worried whether or not somone is saying a sexist slur about Palin.. My God.. get over it.. Palin is a Joke.. Everything she says, she puts her foot in her mouth.. If she had such a high regard for "life" why is she allowing life to be slaughtered from an aircraft. That is totally disgusting. If her people of Alaska need to hunt for food to survive, then maybe she better have a look at the quality of life she is providing for her people in Alaska as their Governor. The women is dishonest, a hypocrite, and she and her old boys have gone a little too far this time. If you are running for VP... you should make sure the skeletons in your closet are "mimes"...The MacCain campaign is afraid to let Palin speak regarding Troopergate because they know that she is extremely capable of lying and they cannot afford to have her make them look like a fool at this point in time. She is a total disgrace to the female gender.. The sooner she gets off out television screens the better off we will all be.

    Soon to be Vice-President Palin did the right thing by firing the moron.

  • Posted By: Toomanylies @ 09/16/2008 7:04:02 PM

    carreerdaytrader- Your claim that the top 10% pay 70% of the taxes is a total fabrication. If you are quoting, you are wrong, if not you are a liar, because you know that is not true. 88.37% of all Federal income taxes are paid by those making less than 100000 per year! Many of them, joint filers. These figures are from the IRS 2006 statiscal analysis of US Taxpayers.

    • Posted By: careerdaytrader @ 09/16/2008 7:30:09 PM

      Sorry you are wrong. I've found these statistics on MANY places on the web this is only BUT ONE!
      http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/menu/top_50__of_wage_earners_pay_96_09__of_income_taxes.guest.html

      I did round up seems that top 10% income earners pay about 64% of the tax so I was wrong by 6% so sue me! LOL

      • Posted By: Toomanylies @ 09/16/2008 7:43:26 PM

        Wow, real statistics by Rush. I am impressed. Only those dumber than Rush belive his drug fueled erectile dysfuntion drivel. Thanks for revealing your source of "Intelligence". Now go to IRS.Gov and find the 2006 taxpayers abstract.

        • Posted By: careerdaytrader @ 09/16/2008 11:48:17 PM

          There's many other sources online. The point is as I explained above is you are either too dumb or trying to pull a fast one. The RICH do pay the highest tax bracket on their upper tier income but ALSO pay the lower rates on the lower tier income.

          You TRIED to imply that someone at the 35% doesn't ALSO pay the lower rates ALSO!

          When you ADD UP ALL THE TAXES that the top 10% pay its about 65% of the taxes.

          You couldn't be who you claim to be or you SHOULD KNOW THAT being at that pay grade! Moron. You probably live in your mommies basement!

    This pretty much puts an end to the belief that this woman can play play well with others as she keep saying in her stump speeches. Obviously, she doesn't get along well with men who challenge her authority, let alone her judgment. Her interviews with Charlie Gibson were less believeable than Tina Fey's imitation of her on SNL.

    My main question is what the hell angered her so much about the town librarian that she felt the need to fire the book lady? Were there too many homeless people coming into the library for the free coffee?? Were the horny boys taking the only copy of The Joy of Sex and not returning it??? Or, was it because she correctly filed Charles Darwin's, The Origin of Species in the Science section and the Book of Genesis under Religion where it belongs????

    It's bad enough she supportsconcealed weapons in schools, and keeping bars open till 5am. Maybe, that's why the Indiana student recently got clocked doing 118 mph on her way to school. Maybe , if she were more open-minded about sex-ed, her high school wouldn't be knocked up at such a young age...
