Who cares?
Sarah Palen is absolutely the smartest thing that McCain could do.
Sarah Palen has had more, real EXECUTIVE experience than Joe Biden and Barrack Obama combined.
When Sarah Palen found things she did not like, in Alaska, Sarah Palen RESIGNED her post, on a board that dealt with oil and gas issues, and ran against the sitting Republican Governor.
After defeating the incumbent Republican Governor, Sarah Palen ran against a former Democrat Governor, and beat him too!
Obama entered elective office after Palen had already served 5 years in elective office, as a mayor.
Palen’s “small town” has a larger popluation that Obama’s former State Senate District.
Palen’s State of Alaska has a larger population than Joe Biden’s state of Delaware.
When Palen found corruption, she QUIT her post and then ran against a sitting Governor of the same party.
When Obama found corruption, in Rezco, anti Americanism and anti-semitism, in Pastor Wright, or terrorism in William Ayers — Obama took political advantage of such contacts, and never, ever, told any of those people that they were wrong — At least, not until Obama started running for President!
The Republican Party is PUMPED UP! This matters. Republicans will now do better in all other races.
Republican turnout will be very, very good.
This Convention has not even had a full day yet, and McCain’s contributions are way up, and volunteers are way up, nationwide.
Where are the GOP’s Great Lakes governors?
At the party convention, Republican leaders will ponder how they lost the governorships of several Midwestern states to men like Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, Wisconsin Gov. Jim Doyle and Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland.

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Ten years ago, Republicans held governorships in Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa.
Today each is in the hands of a Democratic chief executive.
As Republicans gather in Minnesota, one of the few heartland states that still has a Republican governor, a pressing question looms over the GOP: What has gone wrong for the party in the Midwest, and how can it recapture voters who are key to every presidential election and often serve as a political bellwether for the nation?
“We haven’t been that good on jobs and the economy,” said Rep. Pete Hoekstra, a veteran member of Congress from western Michigan who is gearing up for a gubernatorial run in 2010. “Democrats have really hammered us on trade and manufacturing.”
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0908/13057.html
Democrats want higher taxes and democrats want to punish industry, which will reduce jobs.
It will not be hard to fight back.
Michigan is a DISASTER under Democrat rule.
How is that Democrat Mayor of Detroit doing?
Chicago is as corrupt as ever.
Nothing, absolutely nothing, for you to be proud of in Chicago or in Detroit.
Democrats also want higher fuel prices.
That will also be easy to prove.
Sarah Palin seems unable to do even simple math.
Area 1002 in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is approximately 1,549,000 acres.
Bills in the U.S. Congress would open ALL of Area 1002 to oil exploration, except possibly a maximum of 45,000 acres designated as special areas.
“The Secretary, after consultation with the State of Alaska, the North Slope Borough, Alaska, and the City of Kaktovik, Alaska, may designate not more than 45,000 acres of the Coastal Plain as a special area if the Secretary determines that the special area would be of such unique character and interest as to require special management and regulatory protection.”
1,549,000 – 45,000 = 1,504,000 acres (or approx 1.5 million acres)
But according to McCain’s VP choice: 1,549,000 – 45,000 = 2,000 acres
And Palin also seems to believe that 1,549,000 acres = “20 million acres”.
http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/015/427xjuoj.asp
“One of the pieces of a solution is allowing exploration on that little 2,000 acre plot of land out of the 20 million acres up there in the coastal plain.”
Someone who is that math-challenged and/or confused is not qualified to be a VP.
It will certainly be interesting to hear what Joe has to say tonight.
Intrade market sees 18.9 pct chance Palin withdrawn
NEW YORK (Reuters) – The online prediction market Intrade sees a 18.9 percent chance Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will be withdrawn as the Republican vice presidential nominee before the U.S. presidential election on November 4.
Intrade accepts trades on the probability of events such as whether there will be a recession, whether the U.S. Congress will lift the ban on offshore drilling or whether the United States or Israel will launch a military strike on Iran.
It opened the Palin betting market on Tuesday morning after a series of revelations about the Alaska governor who Sen. John McCain chose as his running mate, including that her 17-year-old unmarried daughter was pregnant.
The market opened at 3 percent that she would have to withdraw as McCain’s running mate and climbed to 18.9 percent on 2,532 trades as of 6:45 p.m. EDT.

Sure she is Franklinpaulie.
That’s why you can’t even spell her name correctly!
Cosmos,
He who has little to say often repeats it.
Joe will say the same words he has been saying on the campaign trail. He will say them with a monotone voice and there will be nothing we haven’t heard many times before.
Joe Biden has withdrawn from the PRESIDENTIAL race, TWICE, in the past, in shame.
Maybe they’ll trot some poor kids out on the stage and make sport of them.
Or for other fun, they’ll do a live remote to an eviction.
Pawlenty’s Close Call
ST. PAUL, Minn.–There’s a joke making the rounds here at the Republican National Convention: Some veep runners-up miss the White House by hair’s breadth. Tim Pawlenty missed it by one chromosome.
Gender, of course, was only one of the many reasons McCain chose Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin over Pawlenty. But that doesn’t change the fact that the Minnesota governor was extremely close to getting the gig. Indeed, Pawlenty didn’t discover that he’d lost out until shortly before Palin stepped on stage in Dayton last Friday–and even then, he had to guess. “When I wasn’t traveling to Ohio Thursday night, I was able to deduce that I wasn’t selected,” he told NEWSWEEK this afternoon. (McCain called “around breakfast on Friday morning” to confirm his hunch.) Ultimately–as McCain confidant Lindsey Graham admitted this morning– “John was [just] looking at trying to do something different.”

McCain is a HOW many time loser now?
It’s just his turn.
Like it was Bob Dole’s turn.
eviction?
Obama did eviction work for Rezco didnt he?

Linda, that was beneath you, even to reprint such trash.

Palin could run rings around you.
You are being pedantic and boring.
How is it that a GOVERNOR from Alaska is not at all important, but a WASTELAND known as ANWR, that NONE OF US will likely ever see, is so important to “preserve”?
Will they play Palin’s video at the convention. . .?
‘THE PALIN CHURCH VIDEO’
http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/09/02/1327574.aspx
COUNTRY FIRST? I thought it was God first?
Pundits keep babbling about women voters who supported Hillary. They’re forgetting about Blue Collar men. That’s where Palin really sticks it to Obama bin Biden.
econ,
You are a LIAR. The coastal plain is not a “wasteland”.
http://arctic.fws.gov/issues1.htm#section3
“The 1002 Area is critically important to the ecological integrity of the whole Arctic Refuge, providing essential habitats for numerous internationally important species such as the Porcupine Caribou herd and polar bears. The compactness and proximity of a number of arctic and subarctic ecological zones in the Arctic Refuge provides for greater plant and animal diversity than in any other similar sized land area on Alaska’s North Slope.
The Refuge is also an important part of a larger international network of protected arctic and subarctic areas. In Canada’s Yukon Territory, the government and First Nations people protected the coastal tundra and adjacent mountains by establishing Ivvavik and Vuntut National Parks, where oil exploration and production are not allowed.”
Louis Farrakhan was invited, frequently, to Obama’s church.
Obama’s Pastor cursed the United States, and said hateful things about Jews.
Obama, apparently, agreed with those positions, for he stayed there, in that church, for over 20 years.
I do not see anything offensive in what Sarah said, in church.
And econ. . .
Please note that drilling in the Arctic Refuge is NOT in the RNC platform.
You are attacking Palin, aren’t you?
Palin would cut you to pieces, in a debate on any subject, including ANWR.
We WILL drill in ANWR, eventually.
You libs seem to think it is “Obama First” — he is your messiah, isn’t he?
“You are attacking Palin, aren’t you?’
At least WE don’t screw up her name.
Obama says a vote for the Iraq War DISQUALIFIES McCain to be President —
Then?
Obama picks Joe Biden, who DID vote for the war?
Sarah Palin originally supported Ron Paul. He has a convention in Minnesota as well, perhaps she’ll give a speech over there. Lot of party disunity going on. I suppose it helps by having Bush give a video speech off of the prime time viewing slot.
Funny that Paul has to put in that caveat of “executive” experience. Here’s what her fellow Alaskan Republicans had to say:
“She’s not prepared to be governor. How can she be prepared to be vice president or president?” – State Senate President Lyda Green
State House Speaker John Harris said she’s qualified because, “She’s old enough, she’s a U.S. citizen.”
Imagine the Miss Alaska VP trying to handle foreign relations with someone like Putin. Putin isn’t like a baby she can ditch three days after giving birth. One thing Palin has managed to do is make Obama’s poll numbers rise.
grow up
Hey Paul, in a thread that mentions Palin it’s probably not a good idea to mention pastors given what is known about Palin’s past spiritual leaders. Then again, they are White and I know your double standard.
Cowabunga! good catch cosmos!
DO click on the link to Palin’s church video.
I did not watch the video yet. But some of the stuff she says about religion and foreign policy are…uh…well see for yourself.
Quote of the Day?
The biggest difference, as I see it, between Sarah Palin and Barack Obama
One of them is little more than an elegant, attractive, dare I say sexy piece of eye candy.
The other one kills her own food.

Paul thinks Palin has a lot of “executive” experience, but this is what he said about Sebelius.
“Kathleen S. adds NOTHING to the ticket, other than gender.”
Paul’s double standard is showing again. Sebelius has been in public office since 1986 and is a two term governor but she’s simply a woman. However Palin is different how?

I attacked you, econ, for falsely calling the coastal plain a “wasteland”.
I attacked Palin, for falsely claiming that exploration would be allowed in only 2,000 acres.
LIES and FALSEHOODS do NOT win “debates”.
Palin is MORE qualified than Obama.
Obama’s only executive experience?
Running a foundation that gives money to radical groups, and reporting to terrorist BOSS William Ayers!
What other EXECUTIVE experience does Obama have?
Palin just turned Alaska upside down, fighting the Good Old Boy network you libs like to complain about so much.
Obama never, ever confronted Rezco, when Rezco mistreated people in his slums. Instead, Obama took campaign money from Rezco.
Obama never confronted Pastor Wright. Obama got political support, from Wright, that was useful until Obama was running a national campaign.
Obama never confronted William Ayers, the unrepentant terrorist, who brags about blowing up buildings.
Instead, Obama went to work for Ayers.
Paul says,
“Kathleen S. adds NOTHING to the ticket, other than gender.”
How does Palin have more experience than Sebelius?
Maggot
Sebelius does not stand up to her own party and challenge the big money.
Sebelius does not care if George Tiller breaks the law or not, as long as Tiller keeps sending her checks in the mail.
Sebelius comes from a small state, just like Palin.
If the Eagle things Kathleen Sebelius is qualified, and Palin is not, why is that?
Oh, yah, the Eagle has a liberal bias!
You didn’t answer the question Paul, how is Palin more experienced than Sebelius?
Cosmos, it IS a wasteland, it can not be used for agriculture and it can not be inhabited, without quite a bit of work.
ANWR IS a wasteland, and it can be developed without much harm to that wasteland.
That area is dark during much of the year.
Hardly anyone will ever see it.
It is only a very small portion of the Alaskan Arctic.
Those who want to ban drilling, in ANWR, will, eventually, lose.
Palin actually CONFRONTED power, and won.
Kathleen has, pretty much, played it safe.
Cute girl that just spoke.
These great kids are helping indigent families. Can’t find fault with that! I like seeing teens helping others. It sets them up to continue it into adulthood.
I do have a question though, if someone could enlighten me. She said they fix up houses and sell them at a discounted market price.
Just how do indigent people get a loan?
indigent – 1.lacking food, clothing, and other necessities of life because of poverty
Paul, the Inuit have been living in that region for thousands of years just fine.
“I think God’s will has to be done in unifying people and companies to get that gas line built, so pray for that,” Palin said.
God wants a pipeline!!! Amen!
Truly this is the woman we want with her finger on the button, in case a 72-year-old president who has had multiple bouts with cancers keels over…
The Church Lady…
Paul dodges with:
“Palin actually CONFRONTED power, and won.
Kathleen has, pretty much, played it safe.”
It appears you can’t answer the question. Sure Palin has stood up to the majority Republican party and had the help of the Democrats to pass some bills. Sebelius, in the minority party, has managed to take down the Republican majority many times, but you call that “playing it safe”. As usual you prove to be completely uninformed.
Thanks for proving you can’t answer the question on your claim Palin is more experienced than Sebelius (despite Sebelius being in office since 1986).
Cosmos, it IS a wasteland, it can not be used for agriculture and it can not be inhabited, without quite a bit of work.
Better not tell Princess Alaska Cruises, Holland America Line, Celebrity Cruises, and Royal Caribbean Cruise Line (yea!) that it’s nothing but a wasteland up there. They might have to scratch all those people booking cruises.

McCain is / was against drilling in ANWAR.
McCain = Bush only dumber much dumber at least Bush got a few C’s in college
Funny how Paul thinks Alaska is still “Seward’s Folly”. Paul, the 19th century is over, time to play catchup. Also time to admit Sebelius is more experienced than Palin and you inadvertently admitted Palin brings nothing to the ticket other than gender.
Consider yourself pwnd, again.

The real McCain:
As portrayed by the mainstream media, McCain is an engaging war hero, a man of political moderation positioned between the left and the right.
But to insiders who know him, McCain has an irrational, explosive side that make many of them question whether he is fit to serve as president and be commander in chief.
Nowhere is that sentiment stronger than in the Senate, where McCain has few friends or supporters. In fact, when McCain ran for the Republican nomination for president in 2000, only four Republican senators endorsed him.
“I have witnessed incidents where he has used profanity at colleagues and exploded at colleagues,” said former Senator Bob Smith, a New Hampshire Republican who served with McCain on the Senate Armed Services Committee and on Republican policy committees. “He would disagree about something and then explode. It was incidents of irrational behavior. We’ve all had incidents where we have gotten angry, but I’ve never seen anyone act like that.”
McCain’s outbursts often erupted when other members rebuffed his requests for support during his bid in 2000 for the Republican nomination for president. A former Senate staffer recalled what happened when McCain asked for support from a fellow Republican senator on the Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee.
“The senator explained that he had already committed to support George Bush,” the former Senate staffer said. “McCain said ‘f— you’ and never spoke to him again.”
“He had very few friends in the Senate,” said former Senator Smith, who dealt with McCain almost daily. “He has a lot of support around the country, but I don’t think he has a lot of support from people who know him well.”
Another former senator who requested anonymity recalled an exchange at a Republican policy lunch. McCain turned on another senator who disagreed with him.
“McCain used the f-word,” the former senator said. “McCain called the guy a ‘sh–head.’ The senator demanded an apology. McCain stood up and said, ‘I apologize, but you’re still a sh–head.’ That was in front of 40 to 50 Republican senators. That sort of thing happened frequently.”
“People who disagree with him get the f— you,” said former Rep. John LeBoutillier, a New York Republican who had an encounter with McCain when he was on a POW task force in the House. After LeBoutillier had openly tape recorded comments at a conference, McCain got the idea that LeBoutillier was secretly tape recording him.
“Are you wired up?” LeBoutillier quoted McCain as asking. “Of course not,” LeBoutillier said.
“Prove it,” McCain said.
LeBoutillier said he lowered his pants, apparently satisfying McCain that he was not taping him.
“He is a vicious person,” LeBoutillier said. “Nearly all the Republican senators endorsed Bush because they knew McCain from serving with him in the Senate. They so disliked him that they wouldn’t support him. They have been on the hard end of his behavior.”
Andrea Jones, McCain’s press secretary, did not respond to requests from NewsMax for comment.
Senators are leery of speaking on the record about what McCain is really like. Bob Smith described his behavior reluctantly. A former Republican senator listed Chuck Grassley, Orrin Hatch, and Pete Dominici, fellow Republican senators, as being among those who had encountered McCain’s outbursts, but none of them agreed to be interviewed on the subject.
Most major media outlets have been uninterested in pursuing the subject. Virtually every media outlet ran Sen. Trent Lott’s comment at a 100th birthday tribute to Strom Thurmond. As a result of the criticism over his remarks, Lott stepped aside as Senate majority leader.
But only a few news outlets, like the Phoenix New Times in Arizona and the National Journal, that ran an Associated Press story reporting McCain’s 1998 joke suggesting that Chelsea Clinton was ugly and Janet Reno and Hillary Clinton were lesbians.
“Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly?” McCain said at a GOP fund-raiser in Washington. “Because Janet Reno is her father.”
McCain apologized to the Clintons. But more recently, McCain said on Fox News, “You know, the French remind me a little bit of an aging actress of the 1940s who is still trying to dine out on her looks but doesn’t have the face for it.”
In part because he gives reporters access and charms them with his apparent openness, McCain gets good press.
“A presidential candidate is not supposed to talk at length and on the record about the rules he broke or the strippers he dated, or the time he arrived so drunk that he fell through the screen door of the young lady he was wooing,” Time wrote in a Dec. 13, 1999 profile of McCain. “The candor tells you more than the comment, and reporters sometimes just decide to take him off the record because they don’t want to see him flame out and burn up a great story.”
“National reporters may genuflect, but local journalists cringe at the thought of covering McCain, better known in Arizona for his short temper, refusal to take calls, and attempts at media manipulation than for the ‘straight talk’ he doles out . . .” a Playboy profile said in February 2000.
When people have come forward to relate their bizarre experiences with McCain, only minor publications or the foreign press have run their accounts. The favored treatment is reminiscent of the way the press turned a blind eye to John F. Kennedy’s dalliances — except that voters have far more need to know about evidence of instability than presidential infidelities.
“The White House is a character crucible,” according to Bertram S. Brown, M.D., a psychiatrist who formerly headed the National Institute of Mental Health and was an aide to President John F. Kennedy. “It either creates or distorts character . . . . Even if an individual is balanced, once someone becomes president, how does one solve the conundrum of staying real and somewhat humble when one is surrounded by the most powerful office in the land and from becoming overwhelmed by an at times pathological environment that treats you every day as an emperor?
“Here is where the true strength of the character of the person, not his past accomplishments, will determine whether his presidency ends in accomplishment or failure.”
When asked about his temper, McCain has portrayed himself as angry about issues.
“Do I feel passionately about issues? Absolutely,” McCain has said. “Do I get angry when I see pork barreling and wasteful spending? Absolutely.”
But McCain’s outbursts have not been directed at policy issues or waste. Instead, even if they are longtime friends, he explodes at people who disagree with him or who tell him they cannot support him.
Pat Murphy, an editor at the Arizona Republic, became friends with McCain in the early 1980s. As Murphy rose to become publisher of the paper, their friendship continued.
In 1989, Murphy and his wife Betty had lunch with McCain in the Senate dining room. They were talking about a hearing on a federal project to build a dam system designed to deliver water from the Colorado River to Arizona. Even though the project was supposed to be non-partisan, McCain told Murphy he had planted highly technical questions with a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee to ask when Rose Mofford, the governor of Arizona, testified.
The idea was, because she was a Democrat, to make her squirm when she did not know the answers.
Murphy was horrified and told McCain his feelings. After that, McCain froze him out.
“What has struck me about McCain is that everybody underestimated the ability of his advisers and him to hypnotize the national media, because most of us in the media in Arizona thought of him as a guy who had a terrible temper, occasionally had a foul mouth, a guy who whined and pouted unless he got his way,” Murphy said. “McCain has a temper that is bombastic, volatile, and purple-faced. Sometimes he gets out of control. Do you want somebody sitting in the White House with that kind of temper?’
Former Phoenix Mayor Paul Johnson, a Democrat, encountered McCain’s temper when he and other local mayors briefed the Arizona congressional delegation on local issues. After Johnson spoke, McCain said, “Hold it a minute. Somebody write down everything this guy has to say. You know what, we need to record him. It’s best to get a liar on tape.”
Johnson stood up and said, “Senator, if you have a problem with me, why don’t we go out in the hallway and talk about it.”
“You’re goddamn right I have a problem with you,” McCain said. “They’ve been treating you like a princess in Phoenix while they’ve been burning me over this dam deal, and I’m sick of it.”
A longtime member of Senator Dennis DeConcini’s staff, Judy Leiby, worked on veteran’s issues and had differed with McCain on some of them over the years. After DeConcini announced he was retiring in 1994, McCain showed up in his office.
“I was standing around talking to about a half a dozen postal workers I’d worked real closely with,” Leiby recalled. “And McCain came in. He walked down the line, shaking hands, and he ignored me. And one postal worker said, ‘Do you know Judy Leiby?’ He said, ‘Oh, yeah, I know her.’”
McCain turned away from Leiby, trembling.
“You could tell he was so angry, he was white,” she said. “He turned back to me and said, ‘I’m so glad you’re out of a job, and I’ll see that you never work again.’”
Of this incident, McCain said that because he didn’t hold Leiby in “particularly high esteem,” he thought it would be hypocritical to shake her hand. “I didn’t raise my voice, didn’t offer any disparaging remarks or insults,” he said.
Jim Abbott, the supervisor of the Coronado National Forest, reported a similar threat by McCain in 1989. Worried about the impact on the endangered Mount Graham red squirrel, Abbott ordered a halt to construction of University of Arizona telescopes at the top of the mountain. McCain then asked to meet with Abbott and said, “If you do not cooperate on this project, you’ll be the shortest-tenured forest supervisor in the history of the Forest Service.”
A few days later, McCain called Abbott to apologize. Construction ultimately proceeded after McCain backed legislation to create an exemption for the project from the Endangered Species Act and other existing laws.
Democrat Marty Russo had an altercation with McCain when McCain was in the House, according to the Atlantic Monthly.
“Seven-letter profanities escalated to 12-letter ones and then to pushes and shoves, before the two were separated,” according to the account.
In 1993, the Boston Globe reported that McCain “came across the Senate floor and, while mocking [Ted] Kennedy, told him to ‘shut up,’ according to observers in the chamber. “A stunned Kennedy returned the comment, telling McCain to ‘shut up’ and ‘act like a senator.’”
The previous year, Robin Silver and Bob Witzeman, both medical doctors, met with McCain at his Phoenix office to discuss the endangered Mount Graham red squirrel. At the mention of the issue, McCain erupted.
“He slammed his fists on his desk, scattering papers across the room,” Silver said. “He jumped up and down, screaming obscenities at us for at least 10 minutes. He shook his fists as if he was going to slug us.”
After Silver pointed out that his behavior was inappropriate, “He apologized and was contrite,” Silver said.
Indeed, senators joke among themselves about their collection of “McCain Notes” — apologies McCain sends after he has unleashed a tirade. The question on the minds of those who know him is whether a man who seems so out of control should have the authority to unleash nuclear weapons.
“I think he is not fit to be president,” said former congressman LeBoutillier.

Franklin,
Huh. Did Sarah Palin ever stand up the radical, anti-American Alaska Alliance Party, whose founder cursed the “goddamn American flag,” and advocated for Alaska’s secession?
“The founder of the Alaska Independence Party — a group that has been courted over the years by Sarah Palin, and one her husband was a member of for roughly seven years — once professed his “hatred for the American government” and cursed the American flag as a “damn flag.”
The AIP founder, Joe Vogler, made the comments in 1991, in an interview that’s now housed at the Oral History Program in the Rasmuson Library at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks.
“The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government,” Vogler said in the interview, in which he talked extensively about his desire for Alaskan secession, the key goal of the AIP.
“And I won’t be buried under their damn flag,” Vogler continued in the interview, which also touched on his disappointment with the American judicial system. “I’ll be buried in Dawson. And when Alaska is an independent nation they can bring my bones home.”
http://tpmelectioncentral.talkingpointsmemo.com/2008/09/aip_founder_professed_hatred_f.php
Oh, wait, my bad–her husband was a MEMBER for seven years, and Sarah Palin courted their support and attended their conventions.
You know, Franklin, when you’re saying really, super stupid things–kind of like the ones you’re saying now–keep saying them! Trust us: we like watching you dig yourself in further.

‘THE PALIN CHURCH VIDEO’
http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/09/02/1327574.aspx
——
I’m moving this from the “vetting” thread so no one misses it.
What is the definition of “wasteland”??
MaxGrobnik,
Thanks for showing up so Franklin doesn’t stand out as the stupidest person currently running his mouth on the WeBlog.
“What is the definition of “wasteland”??”
The empty space between a Republican’s ears.
This Minneapolis fire captain talking about the I-35 bridge collapse isn’t exactly bearing witness to Republican stewardship of Federal infrastructure.
This convention is off-kilter in a big way. Lots of odd notes, to say nothing of the delegate freakshow.
Kansas is such a key SWING state!
YES!
In Obama’s church, the USA is cursed, and radical Muslims like Louis Farrakhan are allowed to preach.
In Palin’s church, she asks for prayers for the good of Alaska, and thanks God for the blessings Alaska has received.
Now Poppy is leching on Cindy McCain.
Hehe, Paul is desperate to change the subject. Sometimes I get the feeling he’s like a little child throwing a temper tantrum to get attention.
Well now, they are trying compare today’s GOP with Lincoln. About the only thing they have in common is the Old in Grand Old Party. Lincoln’s party ended when the railroad companies and robber barons took over, and they haven’t dropped that power since. I suppose there won’t be any historical flashbacks to when the GOP said we shouldn’t go to war against Hitler, that he was their type of guy.
“Palin continued to inject religious beliefs into her policy at times. “She asked the library how she could go about banning books,” he says, because some voters thought they had inappropriate language in them. “The librarian was aghast.” That woman, Mary Ellen Baker, couldn’t be reached for comment, but news reports from the time show that Palin had threatened to fire Baker for not giving “full support” to the mayor.”

Franklin,
And Sarah Palin affiliated herself with a seditious political party. Trying to change the subject just makes you look more stupid.
The convention has turned into a church service again.
A review of recorded sermons by Ed Kalnins, the senior pastor of Wasilla Assembly of God since 1999, offers a provocative and, for some, eyebrow-raising sketch of Palin’s longtime spiritual home.
http://www.wasillaag.net/all.html
Oh! There it is: turncoat Democrat Tommy Espinoza plays the “POW” card.
Haven’t heard it mentioned yet. Guess they were sick of being called overusing it.
As of the census of 2000 there were 5,469 people, 1,979 households, and 1,361 families residing in Wasilla, Alaska.
Brings to mind the TV show Northern Exposure.
Nothing short of Hitler can be as bad as Jeremiah Wright.
Barrack Obama was a “neighborhood organizer” —
His job was to get Black Churches involved in POLITICS!
Give it a rest.
YOUR candidate, at the TOP of your ticket, used churches for political gain all the time.
lindainks55,
Assemblies of God. Color me surprised.
Hey Libs,
This is a convention thread – get a clue.
So, lindainks, didn’t I give a fair treatment to Mrs.Obama on Democratic Convention?
Why are you being such an attack dog without hearing anyone speak yet?
Hypocrite much?
“He believes in the sanctity of marriage and family life!”
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!
sure is exciting…
I’m not up on the Raza/LaRaza stuff. Could someone explain the difference?
“Kalnins has preached that critics of Bush will be banished to Hell, questioned if people who voted for Sen. John Kerry in 2004 would be accepted to Heaven, charged that the 9/11 terrorist attacks and Iraq were part of a war “contending for your faith;” and that Jesus ‘operated from that position of war mode.’”
Palin’s church leader is a member of the Christian Taliban. We don’t need another person in office who hears voices telling us to go to war in the name of religion.
Obama’s job was to recruit Black churhes, and Black church members, into political causes.
That is what a “neighborhood organizer” does.
Why do I get the feeling, while watching this convention, that I’m watching some crappy reel film from elementary school? At least the Republicans have found the cure for insomnia.
Rudy, noun, verb, 9/11.
McCain, noun, verb, POW.
Is George the First going to talk? Why not let Barbara? Pull in those women votes. Or not.
Yes, you did, Regular, and I complimented you on your grace.
I explained last Friday when this idiot McCain put his ambitions ahead of our country that I was seething, that I intend to step it up, that I am soooo motivated I don’t know how to let up!
And, I meant it!

You are showing your true colors.
And, it is not pretty.

It sounds like people are booing? Or is that groaning? Or is there some new republican oorah or something I haven’t been educated about?

Paul gets upset that the negroes are getting too uppity. Have dare ‘dem darkies get registered to vote and do something without guvmint handouts.
Jeez, Paul, give your racism a rest for a moment.
Palin Cheney Dobson
Bush McCain Rove
Palin corrupt Christian separatist traitor
If this woman is supposed to be a heartbeat away from the Oval Office, I think we are entitled to know more than we do now.
So far, someone who asks a librarian how to ban books is not looking very promising…
I am not the least bit “racist” and you know it.
However, just as Obama has every right to mobilize members of his anti-American, pro-Islamic Terrorist church —
So too do other religious people have the right to be involved in politics.
Heh HEH!
Palin is the gift that keeps on giving.
She’ll be making her speech and her vetting will STILL be going on.
Yeah Paul, I’m sure some of your best friends are Black. *rolls eyes*
Are we having fun yet?
I’m having trouble staying awake.
I’ll go surf and bring more good stuff back to the blog.
Predestined,
“New Republican oora” indeed. Maybe it’s all they’re allowed under the rules of Minnesota Nice.
Okay, I’m out.
The usual Lib attention whores are just going to ramble on about nothing.
It’s too bad, no major speeches have been made yet and the Libs are spewing diarrhea all over themselves.
That convention floor is just a riot scene… the enthusiasm is .. um… er… um.. almost detectable!
Wow, the current speaker got deployed to Bosnia (you know, the conflict in the Clinton administration where there were no casualties). She got a blod clot which is much nastier than those guys in Iraq getting limbs blown off.
Oh yeah. 9/11, POW.
No wonder they wanted to cut this convention short. The staff must be overwhelmed trying to keep people awake or drag off the sleeping people.
Still more weird messaging: the Army captain currently speaking talked about her deployment to Bosnia–Bill Clinton’s war, mind you–as the “greatest experience of her life.”
And now the bizarro graphics screen carries an Iwo Jima style flag.
Oh wait! I saw a black delegate! Ooorah!
Searching for Palin’s ‘Hot Photos’
On the Richter scale of Internet search energy, Republican presidential candidate John McCain’s announcement on Friday that he had chosen Sarah Palin, the current Governor of Alaska, as his running mate measured a magnitude 10. If you compare the number of searches for “John McCain,” “Barack Obama” or “Joe Biden” to those for “Sarah Palin,” there’s no contest. In just two days, the number of U.S. Internet searches for “Sarah Palin” reached a peak greater than any other political personality in the last three years. In the week ending Aug. 30, 2008, searches for Gov. Palin were almost four times as popular as Obama searches, eight times as popular as McCain searches and over 10 times more popular than searches for Biden.
So, what exactly are Palin searchers seeking?

Maggotpunk,
Indeed. Since Reagan, the GOP hasn’t done the whole pandering to the common man thing with any artfulness. Democrat country, that.
She said Bosnia in 2001 was a war zone. She missed it by a few years. I suppose they have to go that far back, in a safe country where America was truly greeted as liberators, to find someone to speak on behalf of the Republicans (who wasn’t ordered to).

====================================================
With the exception of ship and embassy bombings of course. Oh wait, we didn’t do anything in response. Thus not a conflict.
Huh?
If there is a Christian God, shouldn’t God damn America if it consistently does anti-Christian God things?
You know I don’t agree with that- but I’m saying…if I were a Christian… You know like Pat Robertson and Hagee have frequently claim happens during crises.
You know they say frequently that God damns homosexuals. But at the same time, they say that they don’t hate homosexuals.
Do you think God damns Homosexuals Paul? Do you hate them?
War
POW
War
POW
So this is why Mccain wants to start two or three more wars? So future RNC will have something to feature!
And these speeches!! They are nearly as good as those I heard in high school debate class! Wow! That list of medical problems was really inspiring and politically astute!
Um Kia, there weren’t any American casualties in Bosnia. Try again.
Judging by this convention the Republicans are all about fighting. Not so much winning, but they do enjoy fighting.
lindainks55,
Got this out of your linked article.
“…it’s getting harder and harder to distinguish news about the 2008 presidential race from the latest chatter from celebrity gossip magazines.”
For the McCain campaign, that’s the game, isn’t it?
“McCain Campaign Manager Rick Davis: “This election is not about issues. This election is about a composite view of what people take away from these candidates.”

Are you stoned?
I was referring to casualties caused by acts of war against our country during the Clinton Administration. The lack of US response does not diminish an act of war against our country.
Wasn’t this supposed to be a ‘political’ convention?
LOL!

“No wonder they wanted to cut this convention short. The staff must be overwhelmed trying to keep people awake or drag off the sleeping people.”
Kia, if you are going to claim there were casualties in the Bosnian conflict it’s best to keep the conversation to the Bosnian conflict. You might as well have said, “Yeah, you forgot to mention all those who died on Normandy.” Just because you can’t use proper grammar or have to change the subject I’m not in error.
Everyone younger than McCain, please stand up. *lol*
Just think!
They have exciting speakers coming!
dubya
Thompson
Lieberman
Oh my…
It would have been nice if he’d named the former POWs. The guy on my bracelet was at the Hanoi Hilton with McCain and came home.
Too much to ask for?
LIEberman, the guy who sounds constipated every time he talks? I think Fred Thompson is just speaking to make McCain look younger and more energized.
I see they are dragging out Laura again. They gotta find a Republican everyone doesn’t hate.
Kinda neat how they figured out how to have President Bush NOT attend the convention…
No Maggotpunk, you refer to “you know, the conflict in the Clinton administration where there were no casualties” as if there was no loss of American life thru acts of war.
I simply am pointing out that there were thousands of innocent American lives taken during the Clinton administration in conflicts he chose to do nothing about.
They do have his pappy. You know, the Bush that we once thought was bad but now we miss him.
Laura looks drugged. Lots of empty seats. And bad hair.
Hey dude in yellow shirt–trim the eyebrows.
To serving cookies and tea….
Laura mentions the other woman–Condi.
Kia get off your crack pipe. When you said, “With the exception of ship and embassy bombings of course” you were referencing the subject of Bosnia. It’s not my fault you make yourself look moronic.
Now if I’m wrong then point out all those American casualties in the Bosnian conflict. Or is it just the night for Republicans to look boring, stupid and old?
And the most hated President in history. Forgot to mention that laura.
On Ch 20, schoolkids are interviewing astronauts on the Space Station.. if you can’t stand the pain any longer……..
Oh boy: Laura’s going to defend George. Way to put yourself out there dude, clinging to the First Lady’s skirts.
Yes Laura.
Your husband ruined the schools for my kid’s entire elementary and middle school time thanks alot.
Was that Tiahrt in the crowd? I thought he’d be handing out towels in the washroom (or is Larry Craig on the job?).
“thousands of innocent American lives taken during the Clinton administration in conflicts” ???? A soure for that statistic, pleas?
Laura looks drugged.
I think she looks rather bright-eyed. For a change.
And THERE is one of the BIG REASONS to NOT elect McCain — Supreme Court!
Laura is mentioning the funding the AIDS program in Africa. Will she mention the millions that went to abstinence education in Africa? Ask Sarah Palin how well that abstinence ed works.
You know what I’m referring to jack off. Blood is on your hands.
Oooh! Bush’s AIDS policy is “change you can REALLY believe in!” You go, girl!
Laura is right, ever since Bush was in office I have yet to be attacked by a lion.
“And let’s not forget President Bush has kept the American people safe.”
Really, Laura? Ask the 1,800+ folks who perished in Katrina.
“President Bush has kept the American people safe..” (except for the thousands who died)
“President Bush has kept the American people safe.”
Tell that to the families of those who died on 9/11.
Or those who died in the anthrax attacks.
Oh george has done wonders for people.
In CHINA.
Notice the age of the audience? Those are old people — LIKE ME! No wonder they are so enthusiastic (/sarcasm), it’s past their bedtime!
Truly a Big Brother moment. Is he CGI, taped, or live?
Hot damn! Here comes Dubya!
OK, here’s W, in the little box that McCain stuck him in. Watch for whining and the smirk.
Smirk #1
Is Bush using the White House to campaign for McCain? Why, that’s illegal. Just add that to his list of crimes.
is he sober?
Look at his eyes. Drunk? Hung over?
Did he check those hidden drawers in the Resolute Desk?
“I know what it takes to be President, DAD.”
“I’ve sat at the resolute desk.”
Funny to watch him stumble over endorsing McCain. Watch him blink.
POW, POW, POW, POW. Throw in a 9/11 George.
I promised to get bin Laden dead or alive.
Sorry bout that.
And all those that have perished riding motorcycles too since gas prices are so high they’ve been forced to more affordable modes of transport.
“The angry Left.” Heard that from the idiot congresswoman from MN. Sounds like everybody is on message. Guess they were told.
Will Bush mention McCain voted for stem cell research, something Bush said considered murder?
They didn’t break McCain’s spirit.
No but I gotta wonder about his psyche.
“This man is honest, and speaks straight from the heart.” Blink.
So what he’s saying is same-old-same-old?
According to Bush, McCain was never tortured.
The angry left have taken your convention thread georgie.
Palin on sex education: Q: Will you support funding for abstinence-until-marriage education instead of for explicit sex-education programs, school-based clinics, and the distribution of contraceptives in schools?
A: Yes, the explicit sex-ed programs will not find my support.
Source: Eagle Forum 2006 Gubernatorial Candidate Questionnaire Jul 31, 2006
This helps explain a thing or two….
At least they KNOW we’re angry. Now if they could figure out why…
A speck of pepper in an ocean of salt.
Palin opposes stem cell research, too….
Palin thinks the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was created before the American flag was invented.
Paling? Didn he say Paling? Or is it just that Texas twang?
Bush says he is leading the world to peace. Yup, the world should be a lot more peaceful in just a few months.
“Americans will look closely at the judgment of the candidates…”
You better hope not, Georgie.
Ah, just that Texas twang. That’s a relief!
Laura has been the INVISIBLE first lady.
Laura has been a great first lady. She has always delivered Bush’s bottle of scotch on time.
Trading up from you is not hard to do, George Bush…
Everyone is soooo excited and enthusiastic!
The applause lasted all of 15 seconds!
Botox much, Laura? And is Cindi going to address the convention? Isn’t she “proud of her country”?
I need to wake up. Maybe I’ll go listen to Obama’s speech again.
I’m watching C-SPAN online, but I have to say that Laura looks very nice tonight. Bet she was a looker when she was young.
Reagan necrophilia.
The Laura & George Show got LESS than ten seconds of applause…. I counted
Oooh, a video of a guy from Hollywood who dodged the draft and gave weapons to Iran.
Maggot,
I was thinking of listening to the Gov. of Montanna. He did such a great job! Had me laughing and definitely enegergized the rest of the evening.
Oh sheesh
A Reagan reverie.
Their demi god is a Democrat union leader who they lobotomized and reprogrammed.
“Ronald Reagan never forgot where he came from.”
My ass.
Remember Jimmy Carter, the guy with an energy plan that would get us off Middle Eastern oil?
“A leader who always put his country first.”
Yeah. That’s the tagline. We get it.
Beatin’ up on Jimmy Carter. Boy, who’s the bigger man now?
Conviction politics?
That’s what we need now! Lots of convictions! Bush…Cheney…Rove…
Reagan wasn’t all that bad. Here’s a great speech he did.
http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=uJDhS4oUm0M
Reagan, near the end of his term, forgot where he was!
Roanald Reagan: foreman of the Wrecking Crew.
Hmmmm, that’s not how I remember the Reagan years…
Nancy, with her astrology cards and Ronnie’s unlimited credit card, together they will combine their powers to create a national debt that will only be surpassed by George W. Bush.
He did adore Nancy.
Lots of Cold War nostalgia among the delegates. As with their candidate.
Ba-dam-bam!
Damn sleazeball Democrats!!!
BREAKING: Democrats Release Sarah Palin’s Social Security Number
It is atrocious that the Democrats would not only seek out Sarah Palin’s social security number, but release it in opposition research to the press.
We need to know who did this. We also need to know what happened. We also need to know if it was used to bolster the Democrats’ opposition research.
When it happened to Michael Steele, it turns out the Democrats knew about it and did nothing.
I repeat….Dems are Sleazeballs, and that’s the nicest thing that can be said of most of them.
Did anyone notice behind the stage someone poking Thompson with a stick while shouting, “Wake up, you’re on!”
One actor followed by another…
Hey it’s flash in the pan Fred Thompson.
The GOP, where B actors go to die.
Look–there’s meat face!
Dude, don’t clear your throat into the microphone. “Professional actor” indeed.
Wasn’t me, Boxlock.
HA HA HA! Stupid ass Fred Thompson just echoed Phil Gramm’s “whiners” comment.
Thompson always did have an eye for the young ladies.
This really is pathetic. Is this what revs them up?

Field dressing a moose. Yeah that’s really something to be proud of.
I guess that means you didn’t vote for Bush Sr.
Huh, I wasn’t aware Palin had a five digit social security number. How fascinating. Yawn.
Thompson lays it on thick, doesn’t he? Crowd seems to like him.
There’s nothing on Drudge that I can find about Palin’s SS# or phone #. Got a link besides something somebody said on a blog? You know, those bloggers are so awwwwwful.
* Palin Supported Penalties for Using Skateboards on Public or Private Property in Wasilla.
“Beginning Oct. 15 — after the expected opening of the $233,000 Wasilla Skate Park — skaters will be breaking the law if they use their skateboards, in-line skates, bicycles, scooters (or any other recreational, non-motorized wheeled device) on public or private property where signs are posted forbidding their use.”
How nice, create a skate park then arrest kids who use it. Stay classy Palin.
Hey Fred?
Get another voice over for a mean horse like ya did in “Racing Stripes”!
demerits and making trouble
Well! We can add those “qualities” to lack of judgment!
If the North Vietnamese had captured McCain’s mother, Roberta, they would have surrendered?!?
Thompson is regaling the convention with tales of McCain’s dating an exotic dancer; mom is not smiling.
Oooh, Thompson mentions McCain’s hotdog flaring which set off a missile and killed 143 others. Not exactly a positive note in McCain’s history of destroying U.S. planes.

I wonder if he’ll mention the cross in the sand story McCain stole.
Clearly McCain’s only experience is being a prisoner. That makes him as qualified as Charles Manson.
“The outside world limited to what he could see through a crack in the door.”
Doesn’t that describe the GOP to a t?
If you think it’s snarky here tonight, go read the comments on Drudge.
Fred Thompson is regaling the convention with the “Passion of the McCain.” McCain’s support for torture kind of spoils it for me.
Fred Thompson is describing WHY John McCain should have tender care and counseling.
Thompson said something I agree with, being a POW doesn’t make you qualified. The Rethuglicans jumped all over Gen. Clark for saying the same thing.
The cons are beaten. We have taken their thread. Soon we will take back the country from them.
Yeah, we’re winning in Iraq. That’s kinda like saying you set the Chicago fire, waiting a few months, then congratulated yourself that the fire is dying down.
what are we winning?
No, never mind! I don’t care anymore what we’re supposed to win — JUST BRING ‘EM HOME! We won! We won!
Again, look at the panic reflected in the DemLibs comments.
What a bunch of impotent asinine jackasses.
Oh I forgot, they are proud to be, and have a stupid jackass as a mascot.
Politico.com discovered her SS # but did NOT publish it… they are using it to vet the candidate, since no on else seems to have.
She supports abortion to save the life of the mother…
Palin even once supported contraception education for teens.. before she opposed it…
Who’s up at 8:30?
Boxlock, you apparently confuse amusement with panic.
Palin supported the “bridge to nowhere” before she was against it.
“Who is this man, and can we trust him with the Presidency?”
Um, I dunno, Fred.

Panic? Methinks some emotional projection onto others is in effect… Not to mention rude name-calling.
DavidB, some guy on a blog said her phone number, too. Now why wouldn’t they have sense enough to change their number? Or have it unlisted?
“BREAKING: Democrats Release Sarah Palin’s Social Security Number”
Care to substantiate that allegation?
Boxlock,
Funny thing, the head of the CIA doesn’t agree with you. You lose.
Big talker, empty head.
Thompson said character and leadership in our Presidents wasn’t important before the 1940s. The President who made the Pledge official was the Democratic FDR as a means to oppose the Nazi appeasing Republican party.
Once again the Republicans fail at history.
Thanks, Linda. Seems they’re running long.
I think somebody needs to clue Fred in on the “experience” thing.
Half of that Congress is theirs.

“Boxlock, you apparently confuse amusement with panic.”
Grasping at straws….that is what you are doing, gripping your teddy while falling from the roof.
Thompson is giving the best speech of the night.
Somebody please get Fred a glass of water.
Thompson is stepping on his own lines. For a “professional actor,” his oratory is a lot closer to Biden than to Obama.
Your taxes will be raised!
Now they’re excited! Finally got to something they can understand.
bth,
Yeah. Not that that’s saying very much.
Thompson does have the white people all riled up, though. If I was one of the token minorities in attendance, I’d be looking for the exit doors.
Wouldn’t the Gov have an unlisted home number?
Somebody check to see if Kathleen is listed in the Topeka phone book. ;)
McCain does put the country first. Problem is that country is France, you know, where McCain wanted to send those tanker jobs.
Are these chanting people in the audience leftover Olympics fans?
Barack Obama met the 50 percent threshold for the first time Tuesday in the Gallup daily tracking poll, a symbolic hurdle that until now had eluded the Democratic nominee.
The Gallup daily tracking poll has found that since the conclusion of the Democratic convention, Obama has risen 5 percentage points in the polls and now leads John McCain 50 percent to 42 percent. That represents a positive turn for Obama, after a couple of days in which he appeared to have peaked at the 49 percent mark while McCain was showing slight improvements.
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0908/13094.html
They can’t seem to sustain their applause. They just aren’t excited.
They’re playing Johnny B Goode. Or as McCain like to call it, “Turn down that new fangled rock music!”
HA HA HA! Playing “Johnny B. Goode,” from Mr. Chuck Berry–A BLACK REPUBLICAN.
CF2K sits, corrected.
LOL
Brit Hume is talking about a “tremendous roar” that went up from the crowd.
Anybody else hear it? I musta missed it.
Jot that phone number down for my call and reaction…if I can stop laughing long enough.
And Thompson has left the building. Now wait, he’s on the steps taking a nap.

Why Does The Obama Campaign Have Gov. Palin’s Social Security Number?
Posted by: Jonathan Garthwaite at 5:49 PM
From the Politico:
Democrat Tony Knowles, her opponent in the 2006 Alaska gubernatorial race, put together a detailed, 63-page research document — obtained by Politico — cataloging Palin’s strengths and weaknesses. And the Obama campaign, in particular, knows Palin well: A key Obama consultant, Anita Dunn, worked on Knowles’ campaign.
Opposition research is nothing new. This document though — which was leaked to the Politico — contains the first five digits in her Social Security number in violation of privacy laws.
Makes one wonder what the Democrats are doing with Gov. Palin’s Social Security number.
http://townhall.com/blog/g/20f81828-62a1-42a9-96cc-54f99c3691df
CF,
He’s still waiting in the wings. He’s the understudy.
I hadn’t realized he and McCain shared the same “my friends” tic.
That Joe Lieberman, the only honorable, wise Democrat.
Hell, I didn’t think there was even one.
Boxlock, how about leave the lying to the folks at the convention. There is no social security number in the document. Have you even bothered to look at the pdf file? Scroll down to the bottom, where is says social security number you see it blacked out.
Score another one for Republican dishonesty.

************************************************************
I feel an obligation to honesty and truth to share with you some facts. My
Father and Mother instilled in me the values and morals of treating people
fairly and always being honest. If you purchase something, you pay for it.
If you borrow something, you give it back.
I have been “stiffed” three times in my 30 year professional career by
someone who I rendered services to, gave a finished product to, but who
refused to pay for those services even though they acknowledged the services
and products were correct, were what they asked for, and were never
challenged for not being correct. I am lucky in having only three, but
those three hurt badly.
Joe Biden was one of those people. I worked on his 1988 Presidential
campaign financial disclosure engagement. I busted it for him and got
everything right. He stiffed me for over $15,000 worth of work. He refused
to pay once he dropped out of the race. I did similar Capitol Hill campaign
financial disclosure work for Bob Dole, Pat Buchanan, and a Democratic
candidate for Ambassador to New Zealand. All of those folks paid even
though they lost the election or did not get the appointment. That type of
work is very demanding and very tedious because your efforts are scrutinized
by Congress. Biden did not care.
I am on the Board of Directors of a company that owns a majority position in
a private jet management company in Northern Virginia. They manage jets for
businesses and rich folks. They also charter planes to the public. This
past winter Fred Thompson chartered over $250,000 worth of air time. He
paid every penny.
Joe Biden, in his latest unsuccessful run for President, chartered over
$150,000 worth of air time. He PAID ZERO. He continues to refuse to pay
stating his race is over and he is out of money. He never once complained
about his flights. Joe Biden is a rich man. He could pay.
Joe Biden is a liar and a cheat. I know it first hand. Character is what
life is all about. Joe Biden is a man of bad character and sets a bad
example for America.
I feel compelled to share this dark side of a man who asks for your vote and
trust.

Lieberman thinks he is a Democrat. Then again, he thinks McCain will make a great President. Perhaps McCain memory problems are contagious.
“Lieberman sounds like the Whiner Family on the old SNL.”
HAHAHA, Bingo!
“This place smells like cheeeze . . . “
Joe’s tone of voice seems to say in every utterance . . . “I’ve got gas.”
And listen to all this talk of “shaking up Washington,” “changing the culture of Washington,” “the Washington bureaucrats and power brokers”!
SH!T, who’s been in power for the last 8 years?
It’s just like Thomas Frank says, the CONs are the perennial “outsiders” even when they are the ultimate insiders year after year . . .

JR is the trouble maker type. Has a problem with people in positions of authority. JR thinks he was born for people to respect him even though he has done nothing. Yet JR offers no respect to those who have earned their way in life, who run a business, and offer employment to those willing to work.

It’s funny watching these democrat people getting all worked up over the RNC and Joe Lieberman.
Great speeches all. Lieberman was stellar and made an effective case for McCain over Obama.
Tomorrow night will almost certainly rock our collective socks off.
The Guardain reports to-day that Palin was a supporter of the Alaska First Party that advocates Independence for Alaska. The party claims the 1958 vote to join the union was corrupt and she attended at least one convention before leaving to join the Republicans in 1996. As Governor this year she addressed the Alaska First Convention, wishing them well and closing with “God bless you”. Contrary to claims of full vetting, the FBI did not do a backround check on her. How come a Brit paper has this and our press seems to have missed it?
It’s been posted here, sursum. I don’t remember the source used. So many things overlooked in the vetting, almost makes you think it wasn’t done. But they swear it was! They knew all these things! And they still asked her to join the ticket. Makes it even worse than if they hadn’t known.
McCain puts his ambitions first and his country last!
They don’t want to mess with Joe Lieberman too much, he’ll go over to the other side and give the Republicans a majority in the Senate.
Sursum the party who has a former grand wizard of the KKK as one of their most influential leader can surely forgive Palin a little youthful indescretion.

I was out of touch for a few days but wondered where you have found the facts uncovered in the vetting process. Are you privy to this info? If so tell me the link. I would like to read it.
“They don’t want to mess with Joe Lieberman too much, he’ll go over to the other side and give the Republicans a majority in the Senate.”
What you mean from now until January?
No (laughing) Joe is not about to do that.
He already is headed for the back bench in a maybe 60 Dem Senate.
Hey how come you all couldn’t get old Fred a cough button tonight?
Gosh, what a nice civil debate we have here.
You all should be ashamed of your rougish nonsense.
John McCain and his somewhat unusual pick for V.P. should not lead our nation. His views are too similar to those (GWB’s) that have brought this nation entirely too close to ruin and bankruptcy.
Dispute that, please.

Obama Maintains Post-Convention Poll Lead Over McCain (Update1)
By Nicholas Johnston
Sept. 2 (Bloomberg) — Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama held on to his post-convention lead over John McCain as Republicans gathered for the second day of their national convention in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Obama, a senator from Illinois, has a lead of just under 7 percentage points in an average of five national polls taken since the Democratic National Convention ended and McCain announced Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate, according to figures compiled by the Web site Realclearpolitics.com.
Less than 2 points separated the two candidates before last week’s Democratic convention in Denver, which ended Aug. 28.
Candidates historically get a boost in poll ratings following their party conventions as voters pay more attention to the campaigns. The Republican convention ends Sept. 4, after McCain formally accepts the party’s presidential nomination. The Republican convention has been truncated by the impact of Hurricane Gustav, which hit the Gulf Coast yesterday.
The slow start didn’t worry some of the delegates in St. Paul for the Republican event.
“I think the campaign will take on a life of its own,” Dennis Galvin, 57, of Westford, Massachusetts, said on the convention floor.
50 Percent Mark
In a Gallup Inc. tracking poll covering the period of Aug. 30 to Sept. 1, Obama for the first time hit the 50 percent mark for public support in the poll, according to figures posted on the firm’s Web site. He led McCain by 8 percentage points.
Obama also was ahead in a daily tracking poll conducted by Rasmussen Reports, which showed him with 48 percent support to 43 percent for McCain, a senator from Arizona.
A CBS News poll, which includes the vice presidential candidates, showed the Democratic ticket with 48 percent to 40 percent for the Republican candidates. In a CBS poll taken before Obama named Delaware Senator Joe Biden as his running mate and McCain picked Palin, Obama led by 3 percentage points.
The poll showed that public opinion about the vice presidential candidates is still forming.
While 37 percent of those surveyed said they have a favorable view of Biden, a six-term U.S. senator, 47 percent are undecided or don’t know enough about him to have an opinion. Palin was viewed favorably by 22 percent in the CBS poll and two- thirds were undecided or didn’t know enough about her.
Obama Ahead
A poll conducted by American Research Group Aug. 30 to Sept. 1 showed Obama leading McCain 49 percent to 43 percent. Another survey conducted for the National Journal’s Hotline publication showed Obama leading 48 percent to McCain’s 39 percent. Before the convention Obama had a 4-point edge in the Hotline/Diageo survey.
Of the six most recent polls, only one showed a closer race. A CNN poll conducted Aug. 29-31 put the contest at a tie.
The three-day Gallup poll surveyed about 1,000 people each day with the results combined into an average. The margin of error is plus or minus 2 percentage points. The Rasmussen survey interviewed 1,000 likely voters each night over three nights and has a margin of error of 2 percentage points.
CBS surveyed 781 registered voters and the poll has an error margin of 4 percentage points. The American Research Group poll interviewed 1,200 likely voters Aug. 30-Sept. 1 and has a margin of error of 3 percentag

Oh P_mama, don’t be so……uh, Democrat.
His was an asinine denigrative figure of speech, though not an intelligent one, hence your inability to pick up.
My response pointed out that if my postings are so ineffectual, as putting on a phone pole, then why is he responding to them. He himself proved the credit of my post.
While you and I almost never agree at least you are for the most part courteous enough to respond to civilly.
Steven–
With Obama’s coattails, the Dems aren’t going to need LIEberman after January 2009.
He’ll be chairing the Senate Committee on Stray Animals and Litter in a few months . . .

Because sleepy, those views, in light of the times and troubles the nation has seen, have resulted in a far better result than the dumb DemLibs could have effected.

Box,
I have tried to hold out that your posts are not as dumb as they seem on the surface. You are not helping me make my case with crap like you post above.
Logic and argument are good things. Unsupported hack nonsense is not so good.
Please, think and try again.
Best,
Steven
OKOB, I’m not sure what you’re asking, but there are dozens of sources from the McCain camp saying the vetting was done thoroughly and nothing was a surprise to them. Here’s just one:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26510348/
Okay Steven,
I am saying that the DemLibs could have not only NOT done any better, but undoubtedly they would have done worse.
There is no way to really debate that objectively as it is all hypothetical.
You have you views, I have mine….yours are wrong.
“…yours are wrong.”
Hope you’re not expecting me to agree, because that would make you wrong – twice – in a very short period of time. Some people enjoy being wrong, I guess…
Live happily in your insanity Steven.
I have been told the insane can be very content.
Hey McCain?
You didn’t vet your cupcake nominee.
The justifiably angry left will now do that for you.
“I am saying that the DemLibs could have not only NOT done any better, but undoubtedly they would have done worse.”
A supposition, based on no evidence, and thus not open for evaluation. Even your friend, Raptor, wouldn’t try crap like this. In fact he’d bitch fiercely if any of us tried the same tactic. Very sad and dumb, man. You can do better, I am sure.
Really good there, box, calling me insane. What a good argument. I am very impressed with your intellectual skills – NOT!
I really wanted to hope that there was hope for you, but I guess there is not. Too bad.
Night to all.
Good night Steven. Sleep tight!
“There is no way to really debate that objectively as it is all hypothetical.”
I agree. See above. Let us debate things that are not hypothetical. Care to try that? I am feeling pretty comfortable with the challenge. You???
Really going to bed, now. See you all later. Night.
All that posters like Boxlock and multi-nic’d Regular can do is make false personal attacks.

Sarah Palen is absolutely the smartest thing that McCain could do.
Sarah Palen has had more, real EXECUTIVE experience than Joe Biden and Barrack Obama combined.
When Sarah Palen found things she did not like, in Alaska, Sarah Palen RESIGNED her post, on a board that dealt with oil and gas issues, and ran against the sitting Republican Governor.
After defeating the incumbent Republican Governor, Sarah Palen ran against a former Democrat Governor, and beat him too!
Obama entered elective office after Palen had already served 5 years in elective office, as a mayor.
Palen’s “small town” has a larger popluation that Obama’s former State Senate District.
Palen’s State of Alaska has a larger population than Joe Biden’s state of Delaware.
When Palen found corruption, she QUIT her post and then ran against a sitting Governor of the same party.
When Obama found corruption, in Rezco, anti Americanism and anti-semitism, in Pastor Wright, or terrorism in William Ayers — Obama took political advantage of such contacts, and never, ever, told any of those people that they were wrong — At least, not until Obama started running for President!
The Republican Party is PUMPED UP! This matters. Republicans will now do better in all other races.
Republican turnout will be very, very good.
This Convention has not even had a full day yet, and McCain’s contributions are way up, and volunteers are way up, nationwide.
___
Paulie – Just popped in to see what was going and your first posting caught my attention.
For being such a good little Republican shill- why don’t you get Sarah Palin’s name correct – okay?
It is P A L I N.
Right, Mom.
Palin.
It rhymes with failin’.
BTW, Cosmos, the consensus of most reasonable post-ers is that Regular is a certifiable nut-case.
You know those sketchy dudes that argue bitterly with THEMSELVES as they walk down the street with their plastic bags of cans and papers?
That’s Regular.
Just leave him alone and hope that he’s fully medicated . . .
