Voting for Michael Steele, Condi Rice, or Alan Keyes proves the racist card wrong. That's when the liberals declare them "race traitors". Yep, yep, anyone that isn't a liberal is either a racist (because there can be no other reason for not voting for Obama) or a race traitor.
Its times like these I like to mention that Martin Luther King was a Republican.
Zacy, only you and Hannity would think that Obama can be compared to Palin and her lack of academic credentials and failure to show through her life any evidence of a comprehensive grasp of the issues most important to our country today (e.g., the complex economy and foreign affairs) or even any interest in or consideration of them! I'm not going to recount Obama's experience discussing and thinking about and dealing with these issues during his career inside and outside of the Senate. Nah, why waste my time when all I have to do is point to his degree from Harvard (and selection to be the President of Harvard Law Review) and his campaign debates to date to have him far surpass Palin. She got nothing, nada, zippo. And to compare her to Obama is to not really understand different levels of intellect.
Comment: There are heaps of Harvard educated people around the country, would that be enough to be the president of this country and most powerful person on the planet? He is a presidential candidate just because he happens to be a orator, who happens to present hollow words of hope to his followers. Here is a guy who has used his two years of senate existence to pursure his career and has hardly spent any time in the senate. Compare that to the real executive experience of Sarah Palin. All through his life he was the member of racist black church which specialized whites bashing and he was the member of extreme terrorist organisations as well. Check this out....
Obama???s Ayers problem deepens
http://michellemalkin.com/2008/08/27/obamas-ayers-problem-deepens/
So think again, why would you want this Harvard educated extremist running this country.
A convulsing economy- The convulsing economy brought about by the Democratic-controlled Congress making bonehead decisions like giving welfare to people who don???t work even though they can because they know Uncle Sam???s going to spot them for that new I-phone. Or how about when they decided to fund the guy who wanted to make human excrement into edible food? They spent millions in taxpayer???s money for something idiotic (for lack of a much better word) like that.
Russian belligerence and the rise of China- That we???re going to fix with the military that we won???t have when Obama is elected.
The Democrats have controlled Congress for a year and a half.
God, you people are scary.
I guess the other 4 1/2 years were run by WHO???? Have you ever seen a campaign with Republicans so scared they will not mension party name. They get these clowns in an interview and ask a yes or no question and the only answer you hear is drip drip drip. End of next week polls will show Obama 55%,
McCain 39%.
Thank you for your support,
GI Joe /Barbie '08'
More like a convulsing economy brought about by a war that has been arrogantly and ignorantly mishandled by the Republican leadership for over 6 years.
Ronnie: A Marxist is already running the country. His name is George Walker Bush. He just used my tax dollars to bail out private corporations that I???ve never owned. I now own an insurance company, a giant mortgage company and soon I'll own a lot of bad unregulated capitalistic (yes innovative) debt. This is the friggin ???Animal Farm??? if I eve saw it (Google it since you apparently don't recognize socialism when you see it). And if Barack Obama were named Joseph Palin (rhymes with Stalin), you'd be first in line at his inauguration. So now tell us your REAL problem with Barack Obama now that we KNOW Marxism is not your problem???
Oh and by the way I must be an uncle Tom Too ...because I'm Black
I'm sure you are. Odd how you contradict that in your post below. Must have an identity crisis.
Here is some links for Sam Harris to get some perspective......
www.atheisticviolence.wordpress.com
Also have look what the feminists think of Sarah.
www.feminists4sarahpalin.wordpress.com
Oh, yeah, what feminist WOULDN'T love a woman who has to turn to her husband to help her govern a state; who is against abortion even in cases of rape; who is so stupid she needs to have special terms set for a vice-presidential debate, with her running mate expressing concern that she'll be eaten alive?
I mean, wtf? What's not to love about that FEMINIST Sarah Palin?
Sarah Palin is where she is today is not because her husband was the president. Can you say the same thing about Hillary. It's takes a Republican women to teach the leftist feminists what real feminism is all about. If her husband helps her out with her family needs so what. Kids are his as well. She didn;t have the kids by herself. Sarah is a real women who loves her family, kids and her husband, unlike the men bashing feminists.
Sam is only half-right. Yes, you want someone who has the intellectual capacity to do the job and I agree with his notion that the presidency of late has been a celebration of mediocrity.
But there is a quality more important than mere intelligence; it is the recognition of your own limitations and ignorance on certain subjects. Bill Clinton surrounded himself with very knowledgeable people. Obama, in fact has often shown a tendency to go one better. He actually looks for dissenting opnions before making a decision. That doesn't make him weak, it shows he is more than aware of the fact that he shouldn't take anything for granted.
Both McCain and Palin show a very worrying tendency to eschew intellectual curiosity in favor of deciding based on their own gut instinct. That may make them seem decisive, but a lot of the time, it will also make them very wrong. They won't weight the long-term implications of many of their decisions.
What really needs to change is not a celebration of ignorance; It is a bent of arrogant anti-intellectualism that won't allow you to admit you don't know everything without everyone calling you weak and indecisive.
Thank you Mr. Harris for your intellectual honesty. Others who have been honest enough to admit that Gov. Palin's candidacy is a joke include Senator Hagel, David Brooks, George Will. To all of you who are anti-intellectual the formerly mentioned men are all conserevatives and Republicans who had the courage to speak the truth.
Poor Caribou Barbie.
Her running mate has less than glowing expectations of her ability to get through a debate without being gonged, so he insisted the VP debate be cut down in length, structured tightly and guaranteed not to feature a free-flow of discussion between the candidates.
See, that's how to prove you have faith in women and believe they're capable running mates! You make sure they get the functional equivalent of a mondo golf handicap.
Crap, why don't they just give her a lifeline, a "phone-a-friend" call and a 50/50 question.
Or better yet, send her packing with a take-home, multiple choice quiz, which Karl Rove can fill out.
Freakin' cheaters and morons.
keep your eyes out for whether the hair is up or down
If it is up, steal second; if it is down, head straight for home plate.
I think she should be able to poll the audience.
If your idea of racist is I don't want a marxist running the country ...then yeah I'm a racist
Ronnie, you clearly are a redneck threatened by a black man being more than you. Get over it. We all can come up with analogous questions for McCain, so just shut it. Go vote for McCain and enjoy your next 4 years.
"lindon @ 09/21/2008 4:58:37 PM:
Comment: I loved the title of this article because it summed up the author's problem with Palin's popularity."
Did you even read the rest of the article? Care to address any of the numerous salient points he made that had nothing to do with matters of faith? Care to make a positive claim about some bit of experience or ability that Palin HAS that makes her a realistic candidate for anything? Are you saying you're HAPPY to vote for someone whose vague, evasive answers (like the repeated, "you can't blink") are obviously intended to distract from the fact that she's got no clue in the world on foreign policy, economics, diplomacy, etc.,..., the list is painfully long. Is it not clear to you that the rote appeals to a few over-simplistic character traits (religious - check; mom - check; loves to shoot guns - check; "I just said, 'thanks but no thanks,' to that ethics investigati,... er, wait, that bridge to nowhere!" - check) instead of positive claims of salient experience, are just an appeal to ignorance? Knowing what we know now about the dangers of promoting unqualified pals into positions of critical authority (a la Michael "Heckuva Job" Brown, late of the FEMA that botched the federal response to hurricane Katrina), are you pleased that Mrs. Palin is known to promote unqualified school chums into unelected positions?: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/14/us/politics/14palin.html?_r=2&hp=&oref=slogin&pagewanted=all
... that she's kicking and clawing to avert the investigation into her ethics in the firing of her sister's ex-husband for non job-related reasons?:
http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/09/11/palin.investigation/index.html
This VP candidate is a train-wreck waiting to happen. Should McCain (who, face it is 72 and has had run-arounds with cancer - malignant melanoma to be precise) get elected and, not even necessarily die, but wind up of insufficient health to serve as president, you'd be HAPPY to have a president who would deal with the complicated matters of maintaining international peace by,... NOT BLINKING? Even Bush later regretted, and said publicly, that his "bring 'em on" rhetoric referring to Iraqi insurgents was a mistake: http://whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/Bring_em_on.html
Palin is clearly more of the same - another of the same crassly cronyistic, cocky, irrationally overconfident and underqualified, power-grabbing yahoos who only endanger those they claim to wish to serve.
There are heaps of Harvard educated people around the country, would that be enough to be the president of this country and most powerful person on the planet?

http://michellemalkin.com/2008/08/27/obamas-ayers-problem-deepens/
So think again, why would you want this Harvard educated extremist running this country.
The deterioration of American schools-Maybe that???s because of the atmosphere of apathy passed down from the lazy welfare sucking parents to the kids in our education system. I will admit that education needs some serious reform, but that needs two things. That is willing participants and money.
That brings me to the next point which wasn???t listed. The plans that Obama has have one thing in common. They could all only be achieved in a perfect world. What Obama has planned assumes that everyone is perfect and willing to follow Obama. Without these things his plans would fail. And I am terribly sorry to inform you, but the world isn???t and never will be perfect.
If you think schools are suddenly failing, you need to look back on the myriad posts made by neocons slobbering over Caribou Barbie and Chairman POW. They spell for crap and can't string two sentences together to save their fool lives.
Drool....slobber...
Yuk, yuk. Us rednek hillbillies r shor stuped. I oughter warn u's, y'all shoodn't fly, caus I done de-sin'd somm of o' that there tek-nikal-koobobies. I rigg'd up somm anti-balliztikal missus-zuls (PAC3s they was called) to, so don't y'all go join'in the army! Har-har, my sister-wife just called me to bed, so I's gotsta go.
Shut up - they know how to spell "U.S.A!" and isn't that all that counts? I have no idea why intelligent Republicans aren't utterly offended by how their party has completely dumbed everything down to try to win over the largest group in the country - dummies. They even write the signs for all the people at the rallies and hand them out, in place of any signs people may have brought themselves.
Boy, if I ever run for office I hope that you all don't hold my 2 years after college as a lifeguard against me. Obama was in his 2 years after getting out of school when he was a community organizer, so is that all you can come up with to attack him? Shoot, Palin had Palin not taken 6 years to get through college, maybe she would have opted to do some community organizing. This is all so racist. Palin could do community organizing through her church, as so many Christians do, and she would be deemed a saint like Mother Theresa. Obama does it and he is deemed Al Sharpton. And nice how you erase Obama's many years in the state senate, where he represented more people for more years than Palin did as Governor of AK. Turn off Hannity and think for yourself, Ronnie. Since when did community organizing become anything but wonderful? Thank God we had so many throughout history or we would not have women's rights etc. This is to me FAR more admirable than getting shot down in a plane.
Ok I'll play I'll play journalist you answer:
1) Who is Tony Rezko and how is he tied to Obamba?
2) What 2 members of Obamba's team were in the freddie/fannie fiasco and which one was kicked out for fraud?
3) Community organizer? Like ACORN the voter fraud people?
I can't see the dead fish but I sure smell him.
I consider myself to be pretty educated for a 26 year old. With this in mind, I've had a passport much longer than Sarah Palin, I know what the Bush Doctrine is, and I've been to the middle east on numerous occasions. Does that make me overqualified to be VP of the US?
I was born and raised in a very small town of 900 people. There were no opportunities in that town and a disproportionate number of the people I went to high school with never went to college and many of them had children before the age of 20. So I made sure I did well in school, got into college on scholarships, and after graduation moved to a big city. I am now doing well for myself and for my family. I am able to travel to expand my horizons, I have health insurance for the first time in my life, and I have a retirement plan and I am fluent in spanish and arabic. Does this make me elitist?
It seems that the Republicans would prefer that I remained in my home town, barefoot and pregnant with my 6th child, no health insurance, no education, having never traveled anywhere in my life or learned a second language. And people seriously want to vote for these people? Seriously? I am worried about the mentality of the Americans who want this way of life, who shun education and knowledge, and who think that the VP of the United States should be a "regular Joe' with no knowledge of the world beyond their home state.
I might vote for such a person in a pie contest. Maybe.
Amen, my friend. It's amazing the lengths they'll go to on the Republican side to brainwash folks. What's sadder is that it works. These comments I hear from people who favor Palin are from this microcasm of society that I'm hoping (if the numbers even exist to the point that the media would have us believe) won't be motivated to vote in the first place. I, too, speak two second languages, came from a small rural town, and got a grip befor I ended up olike my classmates.
OK, I also speak two "foreign" languages and have traveled the entire world. There are only a couple of countries in this world in which I haven't been in. So what the hell does this have to do with anything? If you have indeed traveled in a capacity other than that of a tourist, you may have had the opportunity to actually see how these other forms of government work. What the Obama side wants for our country is NOT built on the principles in which our country was founded. Perhaps you like having a government dictating to you every little aspect of your life. There are other countries which do this so feel free to move, but leave our freedom alone.
I might vote for Palin at a moose chili cook off.
Thank a Veteran. You're almost as old as our country.
Islamism on a hundred fronts- And we really think that Obama will fix that? Read between the lines. He???s not picking sides because he doesn???t want to offend anyone. He says that his faith is one that leaves doubt and that every religion is just as good as the next. I???m waiting for Obama to say (stolen from an article in Reader???s Digest), ???You???re all unique, just like everyone else.???(Don???t you love sarcasm?)
Lastly, Obama says he will always fall back on his roots. To me and to those that actually use their brain that means that he will always fall back on his Muslim heritage. I am not going to make absurd claims about things that Obama didn???t say, but I will take what he said and decipher the implications. He is a smart man and all that he is doing is manipulating the ignorant. Hitler did the same. He made communism seem so great that it didn???t even look like communism. And I will end with a slightly tweaked quote from Obama. ???You can put lipstick on Karl Marx, but he???s still a communist.???
A defunct United Nations-Since we???re the only ones in the United Nations.
Dear Crazykid,
Hitler was a National Socialist (hence, the NaSi, which is Nazi). Communism is a small/non-government with no private property, Socialism is a huge government from which all citizens receive their equal share. Hitler and Stalin should have been mortal enemies ideology-wise.
"He is a smart man and all that he is doing is manipulating the ignorant."
Wow, are you sure you're not talking about McCain?
Seriously, though, Colt, all this post says is that you're afraid of Islam, which makes you a manipulated (and frightened) sheep of the Republican persuasion. If you SERIOUSLY believe Obama is a Muslim, then you go on with your ignorant self. But EVERY media outlet knows and has said this is false.
Give me a break. What does Obama know about these things? Palin's not running for PRESIDENT.
You are exactly the kind of bone-heads we get so frustrated about. You want to slam "elitism" (actually KNOWING something), yet you don't seem to understand that being vice-president means you are NEXT IN LINE! You, sir (or madam) are a DOOPHUS!!!!!!!
Next in line, huh? And just why does that frighten you so much? Could it be because she may actually do something positive for our country, and you numbskulls can't accept anything that will prevent your agenda of turning this country into a socialist society, which leads, next, to a communistic society? Anyway, McCain is perfectly healthy, and very capable of doing a terrific job of leading this nation back to prosperity, and cleaning up the mess the Democratic congress has made. He tried to do that in '05, but oh no, the Dimwits in congress would not hear of it, but they will have to go, even if it means kicking their rotten butts, litterly, out the door. Now, go giggle over that, little girl.
Hey, Ronnie, that Alaskan oil and gas won't be available until a decade from now, and then will go into the world market. If you think McCain and Palin are going to bring gas down by drilling, you're dreaming. The oil companies are sitting on tens of billions of acres and guess what? They're not drilling! You know why? They like gas prices just where they are, and since their lobbyists are now working on the McCain/Palin campaign, that's what you'll see more of in a McCain/Palin administration - ever higher gas prices and no alternatives in sight!
Take a quick look at which campaign received the most money from oil companies.
One thing is always true about Washington, follow the money and you'll find who's in bed with whom.
Hacking Miss Sarah:
So I guess Caribou Barbie got a taste of warrantless wiretapping, in the form of someone reading her personal email (well, not really *personal* .. it was state business, disguised as "personal")
I wonder if this will raise her concern-o-meter with respect to FISA!!!
