Sarah Palin said that recent descriptions of her by unnamed McCain aides as a “diva” and a “whack job” who alienates campaign staff were untrue – and she wants to meet with anyone who might feel that way. “I have never met any of those who I have heard to have written something or say something negative,” Palin said. “I would love to meet these people, have a conversation instead of them superficially making a statement like that.” Palin also is optimistic about the election. “I truly believe that the wisdom of the people will be rebuilt on (Election Day),” she said. “As they enter that voting booth, they will understand the stark contrast between the two tickets.”

Talk is cheap from the wacko diva.
unnamed McCain aides
———–
Talk is cheap from cowardly or probably non-existent McCain staffers.
Palin should meet the 30 to 40 employees at the Indiana phone center, who lost pay because they refused to read McCain’s script attacking Obama.
Ironic: Palin gets to wear $150,000 of clothes from the RNC — and Americans lose wages because of McCain’s nasty campaigning.
Another indication of how poorly this campaign has been run. That’s NOT leadership! If McCain can’t even run a campaign how can he even ask to run our country?
Yeah…
If Obama can’t even keep his word on campaign funding what makes you think he will keep his word on anything else?
That is why Obama shouldn’t be President.
Linda,
You are right. Even Obama has had to correct his staff numerous times throughout this campaign.
If he can’t even run his campaign without having to constantly correct his own staff, how can he run the country?
According to an unnamed source working at the WE, Phillip Brownlee is a known “Drama Queen” and is “verbally abusive” to his own family.
“who lost pay because they refused to read McCain’s script attacking Obama.”
That was their choice. I thought you people were all about choice.
*Dairy Queen*???
~PERK~
Oh wait. Misread that. Sorry.
“If Obama can’t even keep his word on campaign funding… ” Nathan the Neanderthal
Show me a link to this document Obama “supposedly” signed. There is none. Another lie from McCain.
Cosmos,
Do you think that a Pharmacist should be able to refuse certain drug prescriptions if it conflicts with their belief?
Mxyzptlk,
Oh, so he had to have “signed” something? I guess we shouldn’t simply take Obama at his word then?
Doesn’t say much about your candidate if everything has to be in writing.
…30 to 40 employees at the Indiana phone center
So, let me get this straight (if this story is true, which I doubt): these employees chose not to do the work they were hired to do – and were fired.
And libs don’t like it?
And libs wonder why our workforce is unable to compete in a global economy?
The questions here are endless.
No Nathaniel, McCain claims he signed a document which is a lie. Show me where Obama ever pledged to use public financing. It never happened and that is just one of the many lies you have fallen for.
Dummy.
Whew…we went almost TWO WHOLE days without a Palin bashing thread. I was beginning to think the Eagle was going to pretend to be impartial..
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Ahhh yes, we have an endless supply of lemmings that are addicted to Fox news posting today. Thanks for the entertainment.
The Obama ‘pledge’
http://blog.washingtonpost.com/fact-checker/2008/02/the_obama_pledge_1.html
And here is where he answered “yes” to public financing:
http://media.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/content/Questionnaire_Midwest_Democracy_Network_Obama_02192008.pdf
“I have been a long-time advocate for public financing of campaigns combined with free
television and radio time as a way to reduce the influence of moneyed special interests. I
introduced public financing legislation in the Illinois State Senate, and am the only 2008
candidate to have sponsored Senator Russ Feingold’s (D-WI) bill to reform the presidential
public financing system. In February 2007, I proposed a novel way to preserve the strength of
the public financing system in the 2008 election. My plan requires both major party candidates
to agree on a fundraising truce, return excess money from donors, and stay within the public
financing system for the general election. My proposal followed announcements by some
presidential candidates that they would forgo public financing so they could raise unlimited
funds in the general election. The Federal Election Commission ruled the proposal legal, and
Senator John McCain (R-AZ) has already pledged to accept this fundraising pledge. If I am the
Democratic nominee, I will aggressively pursue an agreement with the Republican nominee to
preserve a publicly financed general election.”
“If I am the
Democratic nominee, I will aggressively pursue an agreement to take care of my slum dwelling aunt and my hut dwelling half-brother”
Oh the Post…Nathaniel…good choice. lol
Would a Presidential candidate that according to Joe Biden is comparable to JFK, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, and FDR break his promise?
To paraphrase Obama’s campaign:
“Ask not what you can do for your country but what your country can take from others to give to you.”
Nice paraphrase…it is funny I watch a bit of Fox news every night and the next day I scroll through these blogs and what do I find…most of the Conservitives are spouting exactly what was the major story was on Fox the night before.
It’s ok though guys.
If this were a Tiahrt thread the liberals would be going on non-stop about how he broke his “pledge” “promise” or “contract” to hold himself to term limits.
When Obama does something even more clearly a “pledge” than Tiahrt and then breaks it… well that is just fine with them. He has more money to run his campaign now. Why would they care if he broke his “pledge?”
Actually this is a Palin thread not Obama…duhhhhh..
In the words of Linda:
That is not Leadership from Obama. And he thinks that he can lead this country?
ksgolfnut,
They weren’t “fired” — they took the day off, and lost wages for that day.
Well all I seem to be able to read from Nathaniel’s post is….”blah blah blah….I am a lemming….blah blah blah…” Ok I am outta here have a good day all.
Trig says Vote for Obama, I need a momma!
Sarah says, A special needs child doesn’t necessarily have to change your ambitions or goals.
I can just hear her ‘Conversation’, ranting and raving like a mad woman.
McCain did not keep his word on taxes.
“There’s one big difference between me and the others – I won’t take every last dime of the surplus and spend it on tax cuts that mostly benefit the wealthy.” [McCain campaign commercial, January 2000]
“I am disappointed that the Senate Finance Committee preferred instead to cut the top tax rate of 39.6% to 36%, thereby granting generous tax relief to the wealthiest individuals of our country at the expense of lower- and middle-income American taxpayers.” [McCain Senate floor statement, May 21, 2001]
“But when you look at the percentage of the tax cuts that – as the previous tax cuts – that go to the wealthiest Americans, you will find that the bulk of it, again, goes to wealthiest Americans.” [NBC’s “Today,” Jan. 7, 2003]
they took the day off, and lost wages for that day.
So what is the problem. They should have been paid for not working. How socialist.
Well, gee, instead of talking to the press, why doesn’t she talk to the hired help?
There are some “unnamed” Obama aids that think she’s hottttt……
the One said republicans were upset because he shared his sandwich in grade school….
uh no,
It was that you stole little ricky’s sandwich and shared it in grade school…
Phantom, I think talking to the hired help might be a bit of a problem. From what I know, the staffers who have made the statements to the media are McCain staffers, not Palin staffers. I’ve formed the opinion that there is a division of responsibility and authority in that campaign (as I am sure there is similarly in the Obama-Biden campaign), and the correct person to “talk to the hired help” in this case is Sen. McCain, not Gov. Palin. I think I read something today that said Sen. McCain has been disciplining his “staffers”.
SolDevVB,
The “problem” is the text that the McCain campaign wanted them to read. They made the decision to not be paid, instead of reading it.
It seems to me that the folks who didn’t read the script in Ohio and walked off the job surely understood the risk associated therewith. It was my impression that they “went public” over the content of the script, rather than complaining they didn’t get paid.
Don’t exactly know where this belongs, but I see that Values Boy doesn’t like Obama.
Oh no! Surprise! Surprise!
Dennis
They made the decision to not be paid,
Again, where is the problem. They CHOSE to campaign for McCain. They CHOSE not to be paid.
And you’re bitching about it. Hey, are you sure the workers bought their carbon credits for that day? That is the real crime.
So with the above CHOICES made by the workers, your statement
and Americans lose wages because of McCain’s
is a lie.
Thank you for proving you are a liar cosmos.
‘Showless Joe? McCain’s Everyman Plumber Misses Morning Event’
http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2008/10/showless-joe-mc.html
“Speaking in the western Ohio town of Defiance, McCain was delivering the normal “Joe the Plumber” section of his stump speech, talking about how Joe was able to ask about a question of Sen. Barack Obama that no one had been able to ask.
Then, the moment of anticipation.
“Joe’s with us today. Joe, where are you? Where is Joe?” McCain asked, looking around the audience for Wurzelbacher.
“Is Joe with us today? Joe, I thought you were here today.”
McCain quickly figured a way to recover.
“Well, you’re all Joe the Plumbers!” McCain said, allowing the crowd to break the awkward silence. “So all of you stand up!”
McCain staffers called it a simple mix up, and said that Wurzelbacher will join the campaign at a Thursday evening event.”
Agreed cosmos, you should definitely not vote for Joe the Plumber.
Stand up, Chuck!
“They should have been paid for not working.”
Like teachers in the summertime.

Thank you for proving that you base your opinions on ignorance.
They work for a telephone call center, NOT McCain’s campaign.
McCain’s campaign paid the call center to make the calls — 30 to 40 workers refused, and took the day off.
Sounds like Joe’s trying to distance himself from mccain and save his career!
Cosmos, I’ve a little nugget for you on the open thread.
30 to 40 workers refused, and took the day off.
Thank yo for proving to be so ignorantly socialist. If you don’t work, you don’t get paid.
That, of course is peer reviewed.
Damn you’re dumb.
I’m not counting, but there has been more blog statements about Palin than any other candidate. I think Ronda and Phillip likes her. Keep it up WE, what are you going to say when McCain and Sarah wins the election next week.
“As they enter that voting booth, they will understand the stark contrast between the two tickets.”
Is this code for “this one is white, that one is black”? Just wondering because I forgot that Obama is 44% Arab. Some “whack-job” comments just can’t be forgotten, unfortunately.
Steven are the tickets different colored or the candidates. When will you look beyond the ‘color of their skin and see the content of their character’?
“Is this code for “this one is white, that one is black”?”
Yes. It’s all code. It’s code for Obama is a flaming Lib and McCain isn’t.
“Why would they care if he broke his ‘pledge?’”
That’s absolutely correct, Nathan. We don’t care. Obama’s only job is to win. He can go be a boyscout on somebody else’s time if wants to. See, we learned something from you and your party.
Is this code for “this one is white, that one is black”?
———
I thought Obama was Hawaiian.
“Yes. It’s all code. It’s code for Obama is a flaming Lib and McCain isn’t.”
Boy, now that’s message that’s working, huh?
If I was so inclined I’d insert a large number of he,he,hees…
*”If McCain was just conservative enough!”
*”If more people knew how liberal Obama is!”
Paint me as quite pleased that you jokers have not realized the campaign of yesterday is not going to work this time. McCain sure has not figured that out, either. So, he definitely is your leader.
This might be why ‘Joe the Plumber’ is gone. He now has a lawyer and is going to take the demo party and the state of Ohio to court if he is smart. And where is the absent left here who will say ‘they illegally invaded his privacy’. Even if the flimsy excuse she gave for looking is ‘valid’ what is the excuse for releasing it to the news media?

Checks on ‘Joe’ more extensive than first acknowledged
Tax, welfare info also sought on McCain ally
Wednesday, October 29, 2008 8:05 PM
By Randy Ludlow
Amy Sancetta | AP
Joe Wurzelbacher, also known as “Joe the Plumber,” signs autographs at a rally with GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
Document
Read the letter from Helen Jones-Kelley, director of the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, about background checks made on Joe the Plumber [pdf]
A state agency has revealed that its checks of computer systems for potential information on “Joe the Plumber” were more extensive than it first acknowledged.
Helen Jones-Kelley, director of the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, disclosed today that computer inquiries on Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher were not restricted to a child-support system.
The agency also checked Wurzelbacher in its computer systems to determine whether he was receiving welfare assistance or owed unemployment compensation taxes, she wrote.
Jones-Kelley made the revelations in a letter to Ohio Senate President Bill M. Harris, R-Ashland, who demanded answers on why state officials checked out Wurzelbacher.
Harris called the multiple records checks “questionable” and said he awaits more answers. “It’s kind of like Big Brother is looking in your pocket,” he said.
If state employees run checks on every person listed in newspaper stories as buying a business, “it must take a lot of people a lot of time to run these checks,” he said. “Where do you draw the line?”
The checks were run after the news media reported that Wurzelbacher was considering buying a plumbing business with more than $250,000 in annual income, Jones-Kelley wrote.
“Given our understanding that Mr. Wurzelbacher had publicly indicated that he had the means to purchase a substantial business enterprise, ODJFS, consistent with past departmental practice, checked confidential databases ,” she wrote.
“Not surprisingly, when a person behind in child support payments or receiving public assistance is receiving significant media attention which suggests that the person appears to have available financial resources, the Department risks justifiable criticism if it fails to take note and respond,” Jones-Kelley wrote.
The results of the searches were not publicly released and remain confidential, she wrote. Wurzelbacher has said he is not involved in a child-support case and has not purchased any business.
Jones-Kelley wrote that the checks were “well-meaning,” but misinterpreted amid the heated final weeks of a presidential election.
Wurzelbacher became a household name when Republican presidential hopeful John McCain frequently referred to “Joe the Plumber” during his Oct. 15 debate with Democrat nominee Barack Obama. The checks began the next day.
Wurzelbacher, who has endorsed and campaigned for McCain, had been caught on videotape challenging Obama about his tax proposals during a campaign visit to “Joe’s” neighborhood in the Toledo suburb of Holland.
Republicans have painted the checks on Wurzelbacher as a politically motivated bid by Democrats to dig up dirt and discredit the McCain ally. The Obama campaign has said it has no ties to the checks and supports investigations.
The administration of Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland has said the information was not improperly shared and that there were no political motives behind the checks.
The Dispatch has uncovered four uses of state computer systems to access personal information on Wurzelbacher, including the child-support check authorized by Jones-Kelley.
She said on Monday that her department frequently runs checks for any unpaid child support obligations “when someone is thrust quickly into the public spotlight.”
Republican legislators have challenged Jones-Kelley’s reason for checking on Wurzelbacher as “frightening” and flimsy.
Jones-Kelly also has denied any connections between the computer checks on Wurzelbacher and her support for Obama. She donated the maximum $2,500 this year to the Obama campaign.
Ohio Inspector General Thomas P. Charles is investigating whether the child-support check on Wurzelbacher was legal.
“As they enter that voting booth, they will understand the stark contrast between the two tickets.”
Thanks, Sarah, but I saw the stark contrast weeks ago and decided there would be no touch screen touched by the names McCain-Palin.
“who lost pay because they refused to read McCain’s script attacking Obama.”
Want to pick up some extra money? Those of you on the right who have all this spare time you use for blogging might want to look into getting paid by the phone call instead. And you’ll still remain anonymous!

(Sidebar to Cosmos: stick to posting links about global warming. k? thx)
I just finished reading the endorsement of Obama by the Economist. Although certainly not effusive in their praise of Senator Obama they didn’t hold back in their criticism of Senator McCain or Governor Palin.
http://www.economist.com/world/unitedstates/displayStory.cfm?story_id=12516666&source=features_box1
Also, the Economist has what they call the “Global Electoral College,” which I found very interesting.

Links! Links! Links!
mxy calls someone a ‘dummy’, claiming the messiah never promised to use public funding. Well, the FACTS are a little different…
Washington Post, February 16, 2008:
If you are nominated for president in 2008 and your major opponents agree to forgo private funding in the general election campaign, will you participate in the presidential public financing system?” the Midwest Democracy Network asked in a questionnaire. Mr. Obama’s answer was clear. “Yes,” he wrote. “If I am the Democratic nominee, I will aggressively pursue an agreement with the Republican nominee to preserve a publicly financed general election.”
Of course..facts rarely bother mxy…he is off in his little make believe land where the messiah will come and everything will be perfect….
Real Women Respond to Sarah Palin
“It all started with a letter written by two women (Lyra and Quinn) that they emailed to 40 of their friends. “We are writing to you,” wrote Lyra and Quinn, “because of the fury and dread we have felt since the announcement of Sarah Palin as the Vice-Presidential candidate for the Republican Party.. She does not represent us.”
Within one week 100,000 women responded with their own impassioned stories and statements about why Sarah Palin should not be Vice President.”

Real Women Respond to Sarah Palin
========
C*nts.
I loved the man on Greta last night who represented 2.5 million Hillary voters that said PUMA would be voting for McCain and not Obama. Party Unity My A@@. He is also dumping the democrat party because he said it no longer stands for the common folks.
That might trump the 100,000.
Linda that global map was the best reason I know to vote republican.
“He is also dumping the democrat party because he said it no longer stands for the common folks.”
He is either a liar or a sellout.
Either way? Good riddance.
“Linda that global map was the best reason I know to vote republican.”
I thought it was because you’re a greedy old witch who exploits prison labor to make your living and the Republican party helps you keep your workers in line.

I don’t know Cosmos but you have all of those GW links maybe you can search for something with some substance. Who ever released it, the computers it was accessed on were identified. Big demo contributor was the biggest one.
Sounds suspiciously sinister for the party of personal privacy.
Joe the Plumber is Joe the phony.
SOME plumber. Looking for a recording contract.
Cosmos as I have said why don’t you find this out since you think it is important enough to post twice. Please don’t take this personally but only an idiot would continue to ask this question when the quilty party was democrat, the info released was only helpful to the democrat party and the charges to be charged will be against those identified in the story. Democrat big time contributors.
Proof that Obama lied on the funding issue. What ELSE is he lying about? ONLY increasing taxes on people making more than 250K maybe?
Who knows…he has proven himself to be a liar.

Can someone explain why they feel this tread is attacking Palin? Is it attacking Palin just for the simple fact that there is a thread talking about her?

Bluejay if you weren’t so truly ignorant and pathetic I would probably have a discussion with you about the community corrections program. I will say this though – the employees we get from that program are head and shoulders above you.
If I were easily offended I probably would be but I just consider the source and pity the poor child that has you for a parent.

Then why doesn’t BrownLib put up threads about Obama that shows negative press?
Have you seen any?
??
Eh?
Huh?”
No, my question is why do posters see THIS thread as a negative or attack thread.
Are you trying to say that this thread is negative to Palin because there are no negative threads about Obama?
——————————-
Nope, I’m saying BrownLib is in the tank for Obama and refuses to post anything negative about Obama.
Stop trying to spam with useless inventions of your own mind.
Oh,…I got it now. If THE ONE says one thing and then says another, he ‘changed his mind’. If anyone else does, then they are lying.
THank you so much for clearing that up for me. IOKIYAD
Reg..for some reason, some of the more extreme libs here are obsessed with nics. Not exactly sure why.. I mean, capn has posted under what, 4? 5? 6? different nics, but that is ok? Then, without proof or any evidence whatsoever, they (especially capn) rant and rave about someone maybe using a different nic.
I don’t understand the obsession, but they have exhibited it for many months.

“They should have been paid for not working.”
Like teachers in the summertime.
=========================================
You can tell the CONS are beat, when Fleettwood starts in with this CRAP again…
Fleettie, you wooden headed geek… Teachers dont get paid for not working in the summertime… how many times do you have to be told this very simple, basic, item…. Their pay checks are divided over a TWELVE month calendar… not over the SCHOOL Calendar…
What is there in that simple concept that is too difficult for your shallow mind to grasp???
“Sarah Palin said that recent descriptions of her by unnamed McCain aides as a “diva” and a “whack job” who alienates campaign staff were untrue”
The beginning sentence of the forum topic.
Negativity at its finest; honed and insidious implication of a non-news story that somehow makes it to the BrownLib’s sordid mind and onto the blog.
Right, Regular…. sort of like all of the RIGHT WINGNUT radio shows today, all leading off with the BIG story of the hour…. Obama’s family lineage…. Wow… Gee… like WHO THE HELL CARES???
I don’t know how that is negative. I saw Palin herself talking about it on Good Morning America this morning.
Was she attacking herself? Talks of unrest in the McCain-Palin camp are all over the news today and you are saying it is not a newsworthy story?

Not quite, but close, numbskull… It’s more like, Obama paid out millions for his half hour campaign program last nite…
McCain got an hour of FREE TIME, on the Larry King show…. Can you say, “spreading the wealth” Raptor??? ROFL!!!
BTW, use google advanced search to look-up “Brownlib” on the blogs.kansas.com domain and you see two people that use that term – “Regular” and “Blog Monitor”.
Kind of fun if you see a post and think “gee that sounds like something so-and-so would say.”

Ahhh…I see the ‘pastor’ of the church of intolerance, hate and bigotry is back to his old self.
Go to Obama’s web site, there is a calculator and you can see how much of a tax break you’ll get if he’s elected.
http://www.barackobama.com
I’ll get a tax break of almost $1,600.00!
AHA! Caught ‘brian’. He used the SAME WORD as capn, chas, beber, mxy, and others. Proof!! They are all the same person!!!!
(sarcasm off..)
similar words mean absolutely nothing. Why are you so obsessessed??????
“If I were easily offended I probably would be..”
Of course you are not offended. You ARE coming across as quite defensive though.
I don’t blame you. USING people in a difficult situation to make yourself rich IS pretty scummy.
And you’ve told us you keep your poor employees always leashed to you with a cell phone too.
I can almost HEAR your crone like voice…
“What we have here, is a fail ure to communicate.”
Wow I get a tax break of $1366 under Obama, $322 under tax and spend and borrow Republican McCain.
http://www.barackobama.com
He lied about using public funding..and yet you BELIEVE this tax break “formula”? Gullibility…anyone who believes a campaign promise gets exactly what they deserve….
What is the significance of this thread? We have an election in less than a week – and this stupid newspaper and weblog is still fixated on Palin?!!?
Wheres a thread about the ISSUES?
One thread about the many issues facing us?
Stupid
Idiots posting on meaningless talk.
McCain invented the Blackberry…now THAT’s something we can all believe.
“Gullibility…anyone who believes a campaign promise gets exactly what they deserve….”
Is that why you’re supporting McCain? Because you can’t believe anythng he says? LOL!

Real Women Respond to Sarah Palin
========
C*nts.”
In true McCain fashion…you have no class either, Anti.
Republican Communism in its finest hour!
“We share in the wealth when the development of these resources occurs,” Palin was quoted as saying in a recent New Yorker article. “It’s to maximize benefits for Alaskans, not an individual company.”
In a January address to Alaskans, Palin praised “our commonly owned natural resources” as a “state treasure.”
And in a July column in the Anchorage Daily News, she was quoted as saying: “These payments represent a distribution of Alaska’s resource wealth to the owners of the resource.”
When home fuel and gas costs soared this year, Palin raised taxes on oil companies and used some of the money to boost residents’ checks by $1,200. Every eligible man, woman and child got a record $3,269 this fall.

Blowhard if you were a real man and worked in a real job you would realized that most employees now furninsh cell phones to their top people. Since you have no job and certainly aren’t a ‘top person’ you wouldn’t know that.

“Since you have no job and certainly aren’t a ‘top person’ you wouldn’t know that.”
That I work for myself and no longer report to some task master like you makes me eminently happy.
Just admit it. You USE people who are at a disadvantage with you. True, you take advantage of it to a new level.
Oh and by the way?
A cell phone would bring me more work.
But being difficult to reach makes people appreciate me more. If they could get me easy, they would treat me accordingly.

was nonsensical and not deserving of any response. It did not deny my statement that Obama LIED about using public funding.
How does that non sequitur count as “handing me my butt”?
HA!!! I guess McCain has given money to Khaidi on more than one occasion..he also gave an undisclosed sum in 1993 as well as the half million in 1998 to fund Khaidi’s projects!!!!
And he’s SLAMMING Obama for talking to Khaidi and having dinner with him? How funny!!!

This might be why ‘Joe the Plumber’ is gone. He now has a lawyer and is going to take the demo party and the state of Ohio to court if he is smart. And where is the absent left here who will say ‘they illegally invaded his privacy’. Even if the flimsy excuse she gave for looking is ‘valid’ what is the excuse for releasing it to the news media?

Question to okobserver: What was released to the news media, and who released it first?
okobserver’s answer: “I don’t know Cosmos. . .”
okobserver does not know what was released to the news media.
okobserver does not know who released it first.
okobserver does not know the issue that she posted.
go back to your false peity, you arrogant liar, will you?
Cosmos if you weren’t so pathetic I would try to have a conversation with you. I have a 4 year old nephew who can ask better questions and has much ore common sense than you do.
A simpleton could answer your questions. Why don’t you direct them to BJ.
We were discussing you at lunch yesterday okie.
We all agreed that you are obviously not very smart.
Shrewd maybe and DEFINITELY nasty, but not very bright.
“I have a 4 year old nephew who can ask better questions and has much ore common sense than you do.”
Introduce the lad to mining.
Or yourself to editing!
okobserver,
The point is that YOU do NOT know the answers.
Is that too complicated for you to understand?
Chas, please check your email ASAP.
Thanks.
Stop it JR! Everyone knows you don’t work. Sitting around your tiny apartment and blogging all day does not count as work. Besides, if you worked, you’d have medical insurance for your family and you’d be contributing to the country by paying taxes.
Getting blisters on your hands after the bus takes your kid to school does not constitute work.
“Besides, if you worked, you’d have medical insurance for your family”
Don’t assume that because someone works that they have employer subsidized health insurance. That’s one of problems with our health care system, employers don’t HAVE to provide health insurance.
Good lord they resurrected “Pat Herron”!
I don’t live in an apartment there Pat. I own a modest house.
As to not working? I had to leave yesterday’s lunch for a job.
Are you another nic for okobserver aka ksgrm?
Yet Pat, BJ had a “job”.
A Bxxx Job.
Hey “Max”?
I LIKE reading my old posts.
So, to my knowledge, does everyone else.
Why don’t you go on another bender like you did last night and repost me for the next couple of hours?
It’ll be the best stuff you could ever put under your nic.
Say BJ,
Were you WRONG when you opposed Obama 6 months ago, or are you WRONG now when you support him?
Shall I bonedig you “Max” for your earlier take on McCain?
I think I WILL.
That might be entertaining.
Go for it BJ.
Compare and Contrast.
By the way, are you incabable of answering -
Were you WRONG when you opposed Obama 6 months ago, or are you WRONG now when you support him?
BJ,
I’m surprised you haven’t already archived all of my great posts.
So BJ,
Did you vote Green, or did you not have the balls to vote against Obama like you said you were going to do?
Getting the popcorn ready for the show BJ…
I’ll be back in a few minutes.
“I’m surprised you haven’t already archived all of my great posts.”
Point me to one and I’ll give it a fair hearing.
“Joe the plumber” didn’t make the McCain rally today.
CLEARLY, he wasn’t plumbing in his usual way.
He’s plumbing his 15 minutes which are just about up.
He should get an ear ring and do endorsements as “Mr.Clean”
Ol’ Joe will probably do like mccain, and marry some rich republican woman.

Yeah…
If Obama can’t even keep his word on campaign funding what makes you think he will keep his word on anything else?
That is why Obama shouldn’t be President
–
And John McCain has stated several times that he knows how to capture Bin Laden. If he knows how, then why isn’t he telling the rest of us the secret? Is he holding back that knowledge until Nov 5th if he wins the election?
Why doesn’t John McCain put ‘Country First’ and tell what this secret is to capturing Bin Laden?
An honorable American would do so.
McCain also has called Obama a socialist but yet on Larry King’s show on Wednesday night, McCain stated Obama is not a socialist.
Which is it? Does this make McCain a liar?
These are just two reasons why McCain shouldn’t be president.
PatHerron – not everyone’s employer offers medical insurance – or don’t you know that?
Why all the worry about the campaign funds of Obama? Republicans have George W. Bush out fundraising and sending campaign money into McCain’s campaign through the back door so what’s the problem?
McCain sounds like a desperate, little old angry man who is lashing out at everything and anything. The only thing missing is his cane!

——————————
Because it is suspected that people are buying pre-paid credit cards and using them to support the Obama campaign disregarding the campaign fund limits.
They can do this because you can use anonymous names with the pre-paid credit cards.
The Justice Department is already looking into this as some of the sources may be from foreign countries which is also illegal.
Obama’s campaign has said it does not screen donations and this may be their undoing.
Mom,
I am not sure McCain has ever directly called Obama a socialist.
Do you have a quote of him doing so?
Why would McCain tell you how to capture Bin Laden when you do not have the means or capability?
He might well have already shared his views with the President and Military. He has no need to share such information with the public.
Either way, we don’t need someone like Obama for President when he can’t even keep a simple pledge to accept public funds.
What was it Linda said?
That is not leadership.
We don’t need someone like McCain, who flip-flopped on the very important issue of taxes. That’s not leadership.
“There’s one big difference between me and the others – I won’t take every last dime of the surplus and spend it on tax cuts that mostly benefit the wealthy.” [McCain campaign commercial, January 2000]
“I am disappointed that the Senate Finance Committee preferred instead to cut the top tax rate of 39.6% to 36%, thereby granting generous tax relief to the wealthiest individuals of our country at the expense of lower- and middle-income American taxpayers.” [McCain Senate floor statement, May 21, 2001]
“But when you look at the percentage of the tax cuts that – as the previous tax cuts – that go to the wealthiest Americans, you will find that the bulk of it, again, goes to wealthiest Americans.” [NBC’s “Today,” Jan. 7, 2003]
Hey now – looks like Vanity Fair has filed a lawsuit to obtain Navy records on a serious 1964 auto accident involving John McCain that may have killed or seriously injured someone at the front gate of a Virginia naval base. Looks like the Navy is refusing to release those records which should be releasable under FOIA. Hmmm – I mean – if there’s nothing to hide – shouldn’t they just release the information? I mean – he IS running for president. Don’t we have a right to know? Pretty huge potential character question there. Gee – sounds like something else happening in the news today…

—————–
Nathaniel will probably use his flawed junior-high school debate tactics to insist that McCain (and his campaign) did not “directly” call Obama a “socialist”.
‘Editorial: Socialist peril is a puzzle’
http://www.mercurynews.com/opinion/ci_10858832
” “Now is not the time to experiment with socialism,” Sarah Palin warned at a rally this week.
“This campaign is about one thing, a referendum on socialism,” a Republican congressman said in introducing McCain to Missourians.
And from McCain himself on Obama: “His economic policies are clearly those that have been used by other countries that you could describe as socialist.” ”
‘Obama ridicules McCain charge he’s socialist’
http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5isOFwdbq0tsqatW6vJpkDRTI1gMgD944EUUO0
“Barack Obama accused Republican rival John McCain on Wednesday of stooping to low tactics by labeling the Democrat a socialist.
“I don’t know what’s next,” Obama, the presidential candidate, said at an outdoor rally in North Carolina. “By the end of the week, he’ll be accusing me of being a secret communist because I shared my toys in kindergarten. I shared my peanut butter and jelly sandwich.” “
No, but perhaps we could call Obama an idiot.
Neither Communism or Socialism is about sharing what you have voluntarily.
It would be the teacher taking your toys and giving them to the other children.
Nice try though Obama.

Then let’s also call McCain an idiot — he earlier opposed the temporary tax cuts on the “wealthy” that he is now attacking Obama for wanting to roll back.

*****
McCain was probably drunk out of his mind. He committs vehicular homicide for which he should be dishonorably discharged, but since daddy is an admiral, the whole thing quietly goes away.
Now the Navy itself is part of the conspiracy. That would explain the cover-up.
Cosmos–
How dare you point out McCain’s waffling position to Nathan.
Nathan’s position is not based on fact. It’s based on something much higher, the word of God itself.
So he never has to justify anything.
And if you call him on it, why, you’re attacking his religion.
Why don’t they give science test at the fundamentalist “Christian” schools?
Because there’s only ever one right answer:
“God did it.”
EXAMPLE–
“Birds fly south in the winter because”
A. it’s a survival mechanism carried over from the last Ice Age.
B. they are able to travel long distances relatively easily by flight.
C. it improves their chances for survival as a species.
D. God did it.
Right answer–D, God did it.
Nathan,
“Do you think that a Pharmacist should be able to refuse certain drug prescriptions if it conflicts with their belief?”
I believe that pharmacists are under an obligation to fill the legitimate prescriptions that doctors write. If there is a medical reason not to, they should make the doctor aware of it, and then follow the doctor’s orders.
They are not in business to force their religious beliefs or moral standards on their customers. Their customers already have religious beliefs and moral standards of their own that may differ from the pharmacist’s, and it’s not the pharmacist’s place to force them to follow his standards rather than their own. If they wished to moralize, they should have become preachers!
