I mean no offense but number one she is being investigated- strike 1 and she's a woman- strike 2...don't get me wrong I'm a woman and I have no issue with a woman in the white house but the majority of people aren't going to vote for Palin w/ Mccain- it's almost like this is all being put together... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 477497Okay I just found the reason she is being investigated. It is for dismissing the Commissioner of Public Safety for failing to fire a State Trooper, who happened to be her ex -brother-in-law. This trooper had threatened to kill Palin's father, tasered his 11-year-old stepson, and violated game laws. The Commissioner was offered another position which he turned down, but the State Trooper was given a 5 day suspension. Hmmm I guess it is okay to taser an 11 year old child. I say hurray to Sarah Palin for standing up to these idiots. |

Concerned Patriot User ID: 493319 United States 08/29/2008 12:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Wow! - For those of you that enjoyed the theatrics of Obama "channeling" now famous Rev Wright I would recommend listening to the actual promises the man makes - "go line by line through the Federal budget & make cuts" - that is impossible - the president cannot veto line by line - it's either all of a bill or budget or nothing. I'm not a big fan of McCain either - but his "attacks" on McCain were terrible - then he says in the next sentence how his campaign will not behave in such a manner.... People WAKE UP! ;)...He's a LAWYER for cryin out loud - when his lips are moving = he's lying, when he's not lyin' he's flopping on subjects (read his congressional record) Lawyers are what is wrong with this great nation = If A church puts up a Nativity on their lawn at Christmas, they can get sued by the ACLU - some crackpot comes along and fornicates with the plastic sheep & get represented by the same lawyers "because it's his right"..... He flip flopped more times in one speech than I can remember at the moment. I too appreciate the America is Great rhetoric = we truly live in a great nation. Don't let the scripted conventions/infomercials for the party (yes, Hollywood producers are involved) that the American people pay for ($16MM per party - look it up) seduce you into believeing empty promises. Stop letting the media make up your minds - Start holding our politicians accountable (It's the Houses - not the President who are responsible for lawmaking - their approval rating is lower than the president - think about it) Our lifestyle and economy (despite current slowdown) has never been better historically as a nation yet "polls" say everyone is "unhappy". I personally pay over $150K a yr in taxes & live an "average" life - I'm happy - but not with Obama.....or our shallow politicians and biased media. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 460456 United States 08/29/2008 04:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Obama's speech last night was one of the greatest political speeches in history. His delivery was perfect, his words hit on all the issues and put forth a comprehensive plan for dealing with every one of them. Even the republican pundits on all three major cable news networks said they thought it ranked as one of the most inspiring and greatest political speeches in history. Even Pat Buchanan said it was the greatest political speech he's ever heard in his life! It was magical, it moved people to tears and moved millions of Americans to having hope for their future once again. and then, the next morning, in a dark hall with a few hand painted signs 72-year-old John McCain presented his candidate for VP, a young soccer mom and newly elected governor from a small town in Alaska. She had the crowd cheering Geraldine Ferraro, Hillary Clinton and "doing something nice for the common good"... and that was it, they left the building. People are left to wonder if this is even the same presidential race that Obama is in. Is this the same republican party of Bush, Cheney and Karl Rove. Obama was brilliant, articulating the exact issues all Americans are deeply concerned about and offering real solutions. McCain was pathetic and weak turning his back on the camera for half of Palin's comments and looking Grandfatherly in a rest-homey sort of way. Democrats are working with the American people while Karl Rove is single handedly running things for the oil companies, I mean the republicans. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 489136With Brizenzski as Obama's foreign policy adviser. Talk about war wanker! Much to the Zionists' delight, we will be in Afghanistan, Paki, Iran AND Russia - with some trumped up reason, I'm sure - for his entire term and beyond. Not any different with McCain.
