    Bull, Palin is a very good pick she helps support the Rep. theory on how if you work hard and honestly we feel that you should be rewarded for you adchievements no matter if you are an average Joe. She fights us that actualy go to work every day and pay our own bills. Not those that think the goverment should give them a check so they can buy food, I have more respect for the guy on the street corner who holds the sign that says I will work for food, because at least he will get of his a** and work instead of join a group called let's all be lazy and unresponsible(Dem. party)

    FEAR MONGERING, INC is back on the job. First it started with killing snow hampered animals-now she's moved on to terrorizing the voters. Incite violence, fear ....Sounds like the work of someone wants this nation to break apart. Hmmm....could it be....yes, the AIP video said to infiltrate the Republic party and promote their agenda from there. They helped her get in office and her door always open for them. She spoke at their convention and gave a shout out to 'em to keep up the good work! I have it on good authority that she is sleeping with a former member. Guilty by association-now a well attired, professional looking Secessionista. Spreading the fear, undermining the very foundation of the lower 48 so she can become Supreme Dictator of the Independent nation of Alaska. If asked about this agenda do what you do best Palin, lie, baby, lie.

    Yet another controversy about the the Maverick's main sidekick:

    A new ethics complaint has been filed against Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, accusing the Alaska governor of abusing her power by charging the state when her children traveled with her.

    The complaint alleges that the Republican vice presidential nominee used her official position as governor for personal gain. It follows a report by The Associated Press last week that Palin charged the state more than $21,000 for her three daughters' commercial flights, including events where they weren't invited, and later ordered their expense forms amended to specify official state business.

    To me the best way to judge how a candidate will run his presidency is to look how he/she ran their campaign. I think it is pretty clear that McCain did a poor job of running his campaign and it all is in his lap. Palin has had negatives for the campaign, but she also was a shot in the arm for getting the conservatives to wake up and start helping despite not really buying into McCain's program. I don't think he could have chosen a better running mate to try and get elected. I think he just keeps choosing the wrong focus points and does not communicate his ideas very well. He has even lost control and respect of his own campaign committee who seem to be questioning every move he makes lately. Can you imagine this group in control of the White House???? It takes a lot more than just military knowledge to control the direction of this country as McCain is finding out the last few months. He just doesn't have what is needed and he cannot blame anyone around him for that especially since he hand picked the people supporting him.

      Sarah Palin is a cross between Pat Buchanan and Dan Quayle. She is an embarrassment. Everytime she opens her mouth without a teleprompter to read from she says something stupid. We've had four years of dumb as a post - I think we've all had enough of that!

    Newsweek... why no investigation of Palins' 2.1 million dollar home? Did she make that much as Mayor of Wasilla? She already stated Todd makes $50,000 a year ... so what gives? Why are her children not in school? Is Trig really her son or is Trig Bristol's son?
    I feel really sorry for John McCain win or lose.... Sarah Palin will bury him just on what she has learned about him, the RNC and any other (what she will call) incriminating evidence. Sarah is the type who does not take loss well and if elected, John better saty his distance because she is into witchcraft (seriously) and she will put an illness on him and take over as President. Sarah is power hungry and I'm sure does not want to go back to being just a "govenor", she will find that to be an insult!

    Newsweek.... why no investigation of Palins 2.1 million dollar home on her Mayoral Salary and Todd's $50,000 a year salary. I really feel sorry for Jon McCain win or lose, she will destroy him!

    Sarah is the type of person wo refuses to lose! She will bury John McCain I'll tell ya! Sarah Palin is into witchcraft and should they win, McCain should keep his distance, she will curse him with some illness to take over the Presidency! The Aklasans should not re-elct her if McCain lose this election, she is one power hungry witch!

    The Alaska Independence Party is a radical group registered as a political party in Alaska. It calls for Alaska to leave the United States (to enjoy its oil wealth, no doubt) and claims that the Alaskan statehood vote was illegal. But that doesn't begin to describe the AIP's extremism. Its founder Joe Volger said "The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government. And I won't be buried under their damn flag." Volger is dead but still celebrated on the AIP website. He died in 1994 when a blackmarket deal to buy plastic explosives went bad. His body was found in a gravel pit east of Fairbanks, wrapped with a blue tarp and duct tape.
    Why the Obama campign is not hitting her with this I do not know. AS for involvement with terrorist her and her husbands association are far lcoser than obamas to Bill Ayers.

    ONCE UPON A TIME ... (REPOST)

    There was a young charismatic and eloquent young leader who decided his nation needed a change and that he was the one to implement it. The people were receptive and ready for a change.

    He spoke passionately when denouncing the existing system, and the media loved him. No body questioned what he believed in or whom his friends were. He would help the poor and bring free medical care and education to all. He would bring justice and equality.

    He said: I am for hope and change and I will bring you both. Nobody bothered to ask about the change, so by the time the executioners guns went silent, all personal firearms had been confiscated. When everyone was finally equal, they were equally poor, hungry and
    miserable. Their free education was worthless. When the change fully implemented, the country had been reduced to a Third World status. More than a million people fled in small boats and rafts.

    The charismatic young leader was Fidel Castro; the nation, Cuba

    The citizens of the United States would never fall for a charismatic, eloquent young leader who promises hope and change without asking, 'What change, and how much will it cost us?'

    Would we?

      Come on, you are embarassing yourself. I guess you (and Ms. Palin) haven't read the Constitution. For those saying that Sarah rallies the base, this is a perfect example of they type of person that loves Sarah Palin.

    • Posted By: hucklecat @ 10/28/2008 11:29:42 AM

      Oh please. I am a Cuban American and am tired of hearing these empty arguments about how Obama reminds people of Fidel. Read some history and understand how DIFFERENT the individuals are and how not related the political situation is. Fidel "elected" himself the leader, WE will elect Obama. If 8 years of Bush did not turn this into a dictatorship, we can rest assured that the checks and balances of our government are strong. In peril thanks to Bush et. al, but srong.

    It is unnerving to know that Sarah Palin points a finger at East Coast intellectuals and stands to gain from this election win or lose. The GOP has successfully undermined the fabric of our society by playing Joe Plumbers against what pundits on MSNBC referred to as 'the smartest guy in the room'.

    If Obama wins the election the work of smart people on both sides of the room will only just begin. Our country teeters on the brink of ruin and if Palin ever sees the light of day as a future president it will be a dark day for anyone capable of forming an original thought in his or her head.

    People like Sarah Palin will mock theocracies around the world but she makes no bones about establishing one here in the US.

    Am I the only one who feels like he's living in a Philip K. Dick novel? Or are there others out there who awakened from their slumber???

    • Posted By: trisha08 @ 10/29/2008 11:01:41 AM

      Yes. I am with you. I am just amazed at all the recent reports about Sarah Palin for President in 2012.
      She has been a drag on the ticket and has the highest disaproval rating of any VP in history, and she is qualified to run for President? She is an insult to woman and Americans. In fact, she has turned my entire extended family away from the Rebublican ticket this year. These are people who have never voted for a Democrat in their entire lives but will vote for Obama because of Palin. Yet the GOP is holding her up as a shining new star. I wonder who is actual behind this story line. It sounds like Rove to me. He is the master of twists and deception. Sarah Palin has been spewing hate for months and that, I hope, is the bitter taste she leaves in the mouth of thinking Americans.

    • Posted By: 0bitbucket0 @ 10/25/2008 4:51:32 PM

      Does anyone else get the impression that Palin is a cross between Dan Quayle and Mussolini? God help us all if she ever manages to get her hands on any real power.

Now she gets her hands on power and her lack of sophistication allows all the bad guys to come in and control her .They call themselves Christians while they destroy the United Sates with a Fascist vigor while she grins her silly grin and reaps the glory. .She is a DC outsider- Too bad about that,. suckas .

    The only problem with the "hard right" strategy is the majority demogaphics of America will reject it. It may sell to the rural, the extreme, the undereducated; but urban American, enlightened America, and immigrant-infused America will laugh Sarah off the public stage. Her worldview is quaint and obsolete. It energizes a shrinking ignorant-extremist element in US culture - & that element is doomed to lose any future culture war.

    Delaware Newspaper Calls Out Biden For Drunk Driving Lie
    Saturday, September 06, 2008

    TVs Inside Edition ran a story last week replaying Sen. Joe Bidens claim that Curtis Dunn, the truck driver who struck the car driven by his first wife in 1972 and which killed her and his daughter, was drunk at the time of the accident, bringing tears to the surviving daughter of the innocent truck driver. The Wilmington News Journal writes about Joe Biden's false claim that a drunk driver killed his wife and daughter:

    Since his vice presidential nomination, Joe Bidens 2007 statement that a guy who allegedly ... drank his lunch and drove the truck that struck and killed his first wife and daughter has gained national media traction.

    Alcohol did not play a role in the 1972 crash, investigators found. But as recently as last week, the syndicated TV show Inside Edition aired a clip from 2001 of Biden describing the accident to an audience at the University of Delaware and saying the truck driver stopped to drink instead of drive.

    The senators statements do not jibe with news and law enforcement reports from the time, which cleared driver Curtis C. Dunn, who died in 1999, of wrongdoing.

Go find a blog with the most outrageous xlaims and bring it here as gospel. Weak and feeble. what's on deck for tomorrow, that Michelle Obama gave birth to a 3 headed Skinhead.

      Sorry about the skinhead remark. I know you're still hurting from the 2 lost voted in Tennessee yesterday.

  • Posted By: Vote Now @ 10/29/2008 7:00:44 AM

    I follow an economist named Bob Proctor. He has called the top and bottom of every market crash since the 70s correctly.
    He perfectly predicted the current meltdown and the picture he paints about what will happen next
    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 ,Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch , Fanny and Freddy Mae ,AIG
    The government took them over because they are bankrupt. Even with the goverment nationalizing hundreds of billions of dollars in debt the stock market is crashing
    the credit markets are frozen and all of us may suffer beyond anything seen in generations
    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 how its been broken.
    It is no surprise that he doesn't. The people that make up these securities use quantum 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 was the last to know somthing 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. Check out this link to the truth http://my.barackobama.com/keatingvideo
    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 budget surplus like Bush did but a crashing 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 ?
    Mccains team just said they no longer want to talk about the economy.Instead they would like to spend time talking about obama
    which means running the biggest smear campaign in history.
    They think they can just tell you lies and you wont be smart enough to see through it
    Let's teach him we are smarter than that
    Stand up and hold them accountable
    Bush isn't on the ballot this year but his policies are
    Elect Obama Biden 2008






    Check out this video of sarah palins interview and ask your self if she understands what she is talking about.
