    And we are suprised?!?! Look at the lawsuits surrounding the sports center in her hometown. No respect for others. What Sarah wants Sarah does, to hell with rules, laws or other peoples property.

    See what heavy -handed and abusive politocs does? I read articles in the Alaska Daily News about palen being something of a bigot toward the native tribes of Alaska when she was first named as mccains running mate. I wish that I could see the look on her face when she finds herself caught up in a bigger mess than this "Troopergate" business that she has mccain working hard to cover up for her. Not surprising is the fact that its about oil...... AGAIN.... When will they stop? Isn't the fact that Iraq's constitution now makes it illegal for any new oil wells found in Iraq to be owned solely by the people of that country enough? How can you tell a nation of people that they have no right to own their nation's wealth? Oh yeah, I forgot that palin showed how much she has paid attention to foriegn policy when Katie interviewed her. America is in bad shape when we even let a ticket like mccain/palin to even exist

    When the secrets of the Alberta Tar Sands are laid open in all of their damning consequences the rest of the reasons to not build it will be readily apparent.
    Palin only got as far as she has by stabbing Alaskans and now the world in the back because Alaskan gas is meant to boil out the sands and provide much of the ensuing oil production for export to China via pipeline to KItimat, B.C..

    This oil is as dirty as Palin's politics

    The fact She was propounding for the Canadian route (June 2007) in Whitehorse before the decision to choose Trans Canada (a done backroom deal from the get-go) puts a giant stink on her campaign themes of openness and transparency. She stabbed Alaskans in the back who believed her when she advocated for an All-Alaskan line with tfull page ads with two Alaskan icons, former Governors Jay Hammond and Walter Hickel.
    It is very doubtful she'd have caught our attention in t
    The secret of the Alberta Tar Sands is no longer a secret, the Big Boys want the Alska gas to boil ot the Tar Sands, a giant scarrring, poisoning, water resources squandering

    At least she has taken positive steps to get this pipeline construction process moving forward. Un-like the Gov. before her. The natives live in Canada, not the US, coordinating with the Natives is a requirement of the Canadian authorities not Alaska's Gov. Come on newsweek "Mark Hosenball, Give her the break she has earned.

    On the topic of the "Pipeline, I would not be surprised if that bitch Palin wanted to fly around in a helicopter and shoot wolves and Indians. The Republicans should be ashamed of the pair they nominated. McCain and Palin appear to be self-serving, greedy, money-hungry sloths, who don't care how many people they have to destroy to get their way. Oh God, Please don't let us wake up November 5th and find out that we have thrown away our country. Vote Obama-let their be Hope!

    I believe that the people that orchestrated this mess that the American People are going to have to pay for, should definitely be held accountable for; whether in restorations-$$$$, or jail time, or both. They should be made to dip into their heavily-padded wallets, and come up with several hundred billion $$ to bail themselves out. This whole crisis is disgusting!

    GOD HOW STUPID CAN YOU BE YES YOU Posted By: shrekmama @ 09/26/2008 10:47:42 PM

Initially I was not even going to vote but the main stream media is pissing me off so much. Treating Americans like idiots that I am voting McCain/Palin. YOU ARE AN IDIOT VOTING FOR McCAIN SO KEEP BEING PISSY ANOTHER WOMAN WHO THINKS SHE HAS BALLS MOVE TO ALASKA WITH PALIN YOU CAN BE HER BABYSITTER. At least she has some balls to stand for something!!

    Anyone that believes that McCain and Palin have any idea how to get us out of this mess and stop the downward spiral, is living in a "fairy-tale". Those two and their cronies will eliminate the middle class, and make these United States resemble the Middle Ages; where you had the very rich and the very poor!

    SARAH PALIN IS GOING NOWHERE BUT HOME

    In a few weeks we will make a choice that will decide our future.
    I follow an economist named Bob Proctor. He has called the top and bottom of every market crash since the 70s correctly.
    Also, he perfectly predicted the current real estate market meltdown and the picture he paints about what will happen in the next couple years
    is terrifying.He thinks it will be worse then the great depression.
    The banks in the U.S. are going under one after the other. Countrywide the largest morgage bank in the world,Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch which are 3 out of the top 5 wall street firms. Also, Fanny and Freddy Mae which hold 50 percent of the home loans in the United States.
    The government took them over because they are essentially bankrupt.If they didn't the entire financially system would virtually shut down, the stock market would crash and we would suffer beyond what any of us have seen before.

    McCain just like Bush " doesn't understand the economy".
    That not just my opinion its his own words. Not only does he not understand how to fix it but he does not understand exactly what is broken.
    It is no surprise that he doesn't. The people that make up these securities use complex mathematical models very few people understand.
    Bush and McCain both can take the credit for this mess since they helped deregulate the laws that were protecting us.

    Bush's economic advisor Phil Graham wrote the deregulation bill that allowed banks to take huge risks with all of our future.
    Now, Phil Graham is the head of McCain's economic policy.He is also McCain's choice for the next secretary of the treasury.
    No one in this country can afford for that to happen. The last time Bush met with his economic advisors was in March. He either didn't care or didn't realize that anything was wrong. Phil Graham had the guts to say that we are in a mental recession after he helped create the worst economy meltdown in our lifetime.
    It will take the best and brightest minds in the world to get us out of this nightmare. As bad as Bush has done, McCain would be
    even more destructive because things are in much worse shape. The next president will not inherit a surplus like Bush did but a tanking economy and a 11,600,000,000,000 (trillion) dollars deficit. Most of it Bush created and it will take decades to pay it back.
    If you do what you have always done then you will get what you have always got.
    When it comes to policy Bush and McCain are the same 90 percent of the time.
    So why are the polls even close then ?


    The chairman of McCains campaign recently said that people don't vote on issues they vote on a personality composite. Which means he is trying to sell you personality instead of results.

    He believes people will vote against their own interests.

    Let's teach him we are smarter than that .

    Hold them accountable NOW! while it will still help.

    Elect Obama Biden 2008

    John McCain picked Governor Sarah Palin because he intends to follow through and make his Project Lexington for United States energy independence the dominant issue in this campaign. Governor Sarah Palin is a strong supporter of increased offshore drilling and she knows that Alaska has an offshore coastline greater than the rest of the country combined and is also comes in second among the states in oil production. Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and John McCain understand that Obama and the Democrats would never consider government loan guarantees or tax breaks for a sure thing that will produce energy for the American gas tank. In fact Democrats are trying to put together a so-called windfall profits tax which will have the effect of discouraging future investment in the United States oil industry. John McCain also knows that Governor Sarah Palin family situation also illustrates that longterm Democratic leadership hostility and policies toward United States owned energy companies have caused our current energy crisis. Her husband works for British Petroleum but instead should be working for the former American owned Arco Oil Company. Arco Oil Company developed and explored the Alaska North Slope and formerly owned eighty percent of our proven Alaskan reserves. With its substantial oil reserves Arco Oil Company should have bought British Petroleum instead of British Petroleum buying out Arco Oil Company during the second Bill Clinton administration. With the right business environment and support from both political parties in the United States, Arco Oil Company might have been more successful and been able to buy out British Petroleum instead of British Petroleum buying out Arco Oil Company. Look at Apple Computer and Microsoft. Their success in the computer world have made them bullet proof to corporate takeovers.

    Longterm Democratic Party leadership hostility and opposition to offshore drilling and periodic talk of windfall profits taxes contributed to the takeover of Arco Oil Company.

      The truth is this: We doubled our nations MPG after the first Arab Oil embargo in '73 to the point of bankrupting Baby Bushes Armbusto Oil in the 1980's. Jimmy Carter got the US efficeinet. Then the Reagan-Bush-Oil Company-Big Pig Car lobby took over and convinced Americans that SUV's were nearly manatory to be safe
