Palin Reignites The Culture War

Go after both of them - no holds barred - attack, attack, attack. I am so sick of Palin's face, her winks, her hair, her voice, her joe six pack mentality. Where will that get us when Iran or North Korea have their nuclear weapons aimed at us? She and McCain are pathetic wanna-be's - her especially. Get over yourself Sarah, you're a GOP pawn.

It is important to observe the discrepancy in this presidential campaign that exists in the public perception of elitism. In terms of lineage and socio-economic status, John McCain is a member of an elite, and one who received a number of important advantages as a result. In terms of education and intellectual achievement, Obama is part of an elite, but one who had no external, familial advantages to facilitate his achievements. Both presidential candidates and Biden stand in marked contrast with Palin, who appears to represent the glories of mediocrity and blithe ignorance in her informal language and folksy style, like a beauty pageant contestant at an academic forum. Despite our mythology of the greatness of the common person, when it comes to governing the United States at the highest levels, "Joe Six-pack" and "Hockey Mom" are grossly inadequate for the job.

7 houses and 13 cars coming from someone doesn't even know what he has and from that you think its even remotely possible to label Obama as the elitist. Desperation tactics from a despicable bunch of parasites that have run this country into the ground and want another chance to do so by falsely destroying Obama's character. Please, spare me this elitist accusation because it's even low by Republican standards. anthatantthat's pretty low.

It's ironic. In the 2000 election, Clinton had made the job look so effortless that almost anyone could handle it; George Bush included. Now eight years later, I often hear that the next president will be a one termer; presumably because George Bush has made the job look insurmountably difficult. Go figure.

Obama should be channeling FDR . With the economy in the worst shape since the Savings and Loan scandals of the 1980's (oh, and wasn't McCain involved with that?), the economy is going the be the main issue. Arguably, the economy is worse than that time period. Given the Republicans track record on the economy, the issue should be a winner for Democrats. I guess if you have no plans for America, then you do what the Republicans are doing-break out the fear and smear machine.

Does elitism as used here really just mean educated? If so, why do Republicans think that this is a bad thing? This always confuses me. Republicans say they want Americans to get an education, yet when you get one you apparently become an elitist. How does this type of thinking HELP AMERICA???

The American public has a nature that few have seen, because it has been to election campaign college under the professorship of Karl Rove and company. It learned four years ago what happens when a campaign drifts from the crucial subjects which need to be discussed in a presidential campaign and turns in desperation to make up storms of personal attacks on an opponent to try to discredit one personally in order to win cheap and dirty.
There are, of course, some gullible people around who will be swayed by this, but in the main this public is not the same wide eyed and easily fooled batch that Karl and company moved to vote dumb four years ago.
Desperation has hit the Mc Cain campaign as the numbers stack up against them and they have even announced this time that they are about to cast dirt for the dumb. Little do they know that they are casting dirt toward a new breed of mud scholar who will not be fooled. It will backfire and it will cause Mc Cain to lose big. I take a twisted pleasure in this, as much as I detest the practice, knowing that it will surely take place and that it will finally expose such campaign tactics as no longer effective. I greatly admired Mc Cain when he started his campaign and promised to keep it clean. The admiration is gone now and questions of character that was supposed to have been gained in a lonely prison cell have arisen. Character reveals itself under such stressful circumstances as this and I do not like what I see.

Hey, how can an admiral's son get away with calling Obama an elitist. Elitist has simply become the racist term for uppity. Sorry, that Obama did not come from the projects, but he was still poor. Sorry, that he was not a gang banger, or a rapper, or yet a basketball player that could put the fears of those "hard working voters," at rest. Instead, he is a black man that did what this country has been saying that black Americans should do. He went to school, got an education, and was successful. Now that he is that, somehow he is out of line. Make up your mind America.

I'M SORRY BUT WHEN SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE CAN MAKE FUN OF YOU AND DON'T HAVE TO CHANGE THE SCRIPT-JUST BASICALLY REPEAT WHAT YOU SAID..............................YOU ARE A F'N SIDESHOW! ANYONE WITH A DRIP DROP OF COMMONSENSE CAN POSSIBLY TAKE PALIN SERIOUSLY.

Palin calls a fellow American community organizer an elitist while driving a Suburban with a Starbucks latte in hand. BTW: McCain is no 'maverick" He just stole the name and image from James Garner's TV series about a wild west gambler named "Maverick." LMAO!!!!! Here is a link to a CNN tour of John & Cindy McCain's fully furnished non-elitist mansion presently up for sale and see the kitchen table they sat around when they talked about you:

Who can possibly swallow that McCain is a "Joe 6-pack"? He and his wife own 7 houses--or is it 8? They are multimillionaires. How many Joe 6-packs can say this? Here's one question for Palin--how much did you pay for those glasses? Here's another--how many Joe 6-packs can stay at home and collect a per diem, while being paid a full salary, both on the taxpayers' backs?

Good Job HpB33!!!!

History vs. Naivety

The art of awaking the "Manchurian Voter" under the guise of a "Culture War" is a sinister and artful craft historically employed by many in their incessant pursuit of a political win.

To disguise the craft in the use of dog whistles and other morally corrupt vehicles to "trigger" these voters into consciously or unconsciously voting against their better interests, and, instead vote for the preservation of racial identity borders on an ominously palatable form of ethnic cleansing.

President Kennedy was an Irish-Catholic who inspired many.

There are those in this country who vehemently despise Catholics, enough said.

Most importantly, it is imperative that those with the power to inform the masses do not succumb to the complaints of an erratic attempt to win the Presidency by surrendering their professions to ideals long destined for the rubbish pile.

It is beyond naivete to frame such incendiary ideals in the form of anything other than what it truly "is not", a Culture War!

There is no religion higher than truth...

Obama- Biden in '08 and '12!!! Obama will be the next President of the United States! America is really beginning to see who McCain is and definately the disdain for Sarah Palin is growing!! She continues to PLUMMET in the polls in just about all 50 states!! She is a FLUFFY BUNNY for the conservatives to fawn over!! Sarah Palin is only good at attacking - and under that surface there is a big deep black hole!! There is no substance about any issues there at all!!
