Everything that has happen happen under the republicans watch, not the democrats. I cant understand how can anyone, knowing these things, can still point their finger to vote for them to be back in office?

Then on top on that has the nerve to insult community organizers. SMH, What by helping the folks in my community thats not consider doing a service for my country? How dare she I would like to see her or McCain come into the poor neighborhoods and tell these people that their work means nothing if you havent served in the military.

Did you notice that every person that spoke at the RNC were rich? At least the DNC had average folks speak about their experiences. Thats how I know that if the republicans are elected back into office, the average person will be forgotten yet again. What a joke those republicans are.


Frankly, I dont care about her family, McCain's war, being a P.O.W, or about other items she'll be selling on Ebay , all I want to know what will they do for me, the average folk, to fix the last 8 years of fuck up after fuck up.
Good post. Welcome!

I didnt but I wouldnt surprised. I did see a few ordinary americans at the DNC but cant verify the exact numbers. I suppose the right will just say 'is it a crime to be rich?'

Theyll bring you Reform - from 8 years of GWB.

Theyll bring you Prosperity - from 8 years of GWB.

Theyll bring you Peace - from 8 years of GWB.

Theyre banking on you forgetting quite a bit, but if enough people stare lovingly at ol'glory for long enough they just might get away with it again.

Re: Palin Speech

Wanna know HOW GOOD Palin's Speech was?! All you had to do wa slook at MSNBC and CNN - they looked like a morgue afterwards, like they were at a funeral! The other tell-tale saign was all the comments that followed all saying 'Man, she had a great SPEECH WRITER!'

What a crock of cr@p from the left, the weakest (yet ONLY) reply they could muster!

1. Who talks about the speech writer? No one ever says after one of the 'Messiah's' speeches - boy he had a great speech writer!' Think Michelle Obama or her husband writes their own?

2. You can have the best speech writer in the world but if ya don't have the talent/ability to pull it off it don't mean anything.

3. The media was even more flustered today to hear that Palin's tele-prompter went down almost HALF way through her speech and that a lot of what she said was 'ad libbed'!

To put it bluntly, she hit a home run.

Rudy didn't do a bad job either!

I think she did a nice job of that.

Of course liberals are busily constructing language to make her ... look bad SOMEHOW.

And in doing so, will make themselves look even dumber.

Whats new ?

Agreed. It was a good speech.

Right wing BS, but a good speech nevertheless.

The moment her under-age daughter went and had sex and became pregnant, the abstinence argument wasnt going to fly anymore. Because we can see all so well how that prevented her daughter from opening up her legs. Therefore since thats part of her political platform, its fair game.

So we shouldn't discourage teenagers from being sexually active then ? Just because she has a teenager that did a dumb thing as many teenagers do ?

That makes sense

I was going to go ahead a shred your post en masse, but what I put into bold text really struck me.

You need to be educated as to what the age of consent in Alaska is.

Once you do that, you might be in a better position to debate. I, however, refuse to enter into a battle of intelligence with someone who is, clearly, ill-prepared for such a thing...

Go ahead and swallow Obama's bullshit. Bask in the light of his eloquence while he rams it up your ass and breaks it off.

Anyone supporting Obama is a complete idiot. I say this because the only reasons people give for supporting him are "change" and "hope". He's said nothing of substance, other than he's going to raise taxes through the roof.

Perhaps that's the kind of President you want. Perhaps you want that because you're poor and you want handouts. Perhaps you want that because you're rich and believe you have too much money. In either case, though, support would be based in idiocy or laziness.

Those are the people who support Obama: Idiots who fail to realize how much less they'll have, and lazy fucks who want something for nothing.

Which one are you?

Regardless, that's besides the point. Her former son-in-law is irrelevant. If she used the power of her office to unsucessfully influence, and then fire, someone who wouldn't do her bidding, she will be, and stay with me here, a disgraced felon.

Exactly part and parcel of what most conservatives, it would seem, want today.

Is that clear?

You just make this up as you go along............don't you

It's really a funny read.

when you start employing that yardstick vis a vis ALL females in the gov. or have professions etc. maybe I'll take notice,,,fair game? Well that’s just more lib tolerance isn’t it though?

Maybe her daughter should have had an abortion, then you could catch her Oprah and give her a “you go girl”....

Well Obama said that they didn't hear one single thing about about the economy...which is a lie. Taxes effect the economy and energy effects the economy. I don't think Obama even knows what effect taxes and energy plays on the economy. Maybe that's why he couldn't recognize they were talking about the economy.

Obama said that they made personal attacks.........like Obama wants to use change to further his career....instead of using his career to cause change. I guess that gets as personal as you can get because it goes to the heart of the man. The truth really hurts.

Obama claims that all they did was lie about his accomplishments......but for some reason nobody in the Obama campaign can say what they are.

Obama and Biden are on defense. They are saying a bunch of things just to cast doubt on the truth that was spelled out across America last night. They can't face the truth because their whole campaign is based on lies. I think that's why they are so afraid of Sarah Palin because she kicked them in the nuts last night.....and she did it respectfully and with a smile on her face. She is the genuine article and Obama and Biden can't stand up to that.

The Obama campaign is in serious trouble and they know it.

I'm a little confused about the party's platform now. This speech seemed to focus on jobs for working class people, energy, "change," etc. There was no mention of social issues (abortion or gay civil rights), very little mention of the war in Iraq. It's left me wondering, since their campaign seems to be heading in another direction, what exactly they would like to change and how. It seems like energy might be the new focus?

I would also like to know more about their tax plan and if they plan to cut social funding in order to cut taxes. How they plan to finance the war in Iraq and what the strategy is.

I think she did a good job introducing herself. She was able to give us an idea of who she is and a nice character sketch of John McCain.

I feel that the attacks on Obama might have been a little too critical. When she was attacking the opponent she seemed to have a very competitive edge but wasn't able to see much past winning, in my opinion. It was more focused on the win, rather than what was going to be done after the win. It was sort of a dividing, rather than unifying, message...but I think she might have been just trying to prove that she is "tough."

This should be an interesting election. I look forward to hearing the Obama/Biden response.
On top of that, there was actually no mention of Education, Health Care or Immigration for that matter? Pure fluff.

Take that Obama.

The Kool-Aid drinking Far Right Lunatic Fringe reacts in uproar and that spells trouble for Obama?

Bwahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!

Perception of the biased mind.
Here's an article

Attacks, praise stretch truth at GOP convention - Yahoo! News

If hating being lied to is having an bias mind, well then I have a bias mind.

Quote:
Nor did I hear about it at the DNC
I will assume you didnt watch the DNC. anyway, Obama clearly stated what his plans are to get this country back on track. The people dont want to hear insults and lies; they want know what are the reps plans for the country. Are they going to more the same or something different?

Quote:
Mean is one thing, but sexist from the 'party of tolerance' is laughable in its utter hypocricy. But more so, the sexism is sad because of the backwards attitude it demonstrates. I don't want to go in reverse with any party, much less the hypocritical 'party of tolerance'.
Oh please! Obama has being playing nothing but nice with his opponents, especially with Clinton. If anything, Obama hasnt been tough enough with them; so for anyone to think hes being sexist is absolutely wrong. McCain wont even vote for women to get equal pay. Tell me who's being sexist again? As a woman I think if you're going to run for public service then you better have a stiff lip. This isnt for the whiny women that feel that the men are attacking their womanhood.

Quote:
Again, criticism is one thing, when she is criticized for her positions. When she is criticized for being a "bad mother' because she has a job and is seeking another job, while that same criticism is not equally applied to the father, BHO, is a double standard based on sexism. I see no crying from her; she's too tough for that. I do see crying from her opposition with claims of, "boohooo, she insulted me". Suck it up. If you want to go after a tough person, be prepared to take it.
Most working moms think that she should stay at home with her new-born baby instead of running for VP. So its not only the men who are criticizing her about her decision. I for one can care less; if she wants to run thats her business. All I want to know is what can she do for me?
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/02/us...er&oref=slogin

She sure is is a moose when attakcing and lying on Obama and Biden but too fragile to take any questions and elaborate on how the're spread lies about her family

Palin: Democrats spreading misinformation and lies - Yahoo! News

Also no one has ever showed how Obama was being sexist towards her. She only came on the scene last week.

Quote:
What 'everything'? Do try to communicate more specifically. We don't read minds; we read words.
Higher food and gas prices, high rate of unemployment, losing jobs overseas, higher rate of foreclosures, not gong after the man responsible for 9/11, Alienating us from the rest of the world, Katrina the economic deficit...

Quote:
Here's a tissue. Suck it up. If you can't take it, I would advise you to pick on an opponent who matches your ultra-sensitive nature. It will be safer for such sensitive folks as yourself.
Yea, tell that to those who work hard in the communities to suck it up. That their the hard work they're doing in the communities arent enough to qualify you being a patriot , unless you enter into the military.I'm absolutely sure you wont catch her and McCain's butts in the poor communities talking to the common folks.

Quote:
Palin's rich? I knew steelworkers made good union wages, but wasn't aware that classifies them as rich. And, I'm wondering how a mayor, then governor for a bit less than two years, with public salaries gets so rich. I did notice many rich folks at the DNC.
I didnt say that the DP werent rich, but they did let the common have their say.So unless shes paying herself $1 a year when she was Mayor now governor, she has more money than you average 9-5 person; she has health insurance and shes not about to lose her home. The republican party does not represent the common man. If they did, they would let the common man ,who is a republican, have a place at the podium; and not McCain's army buddies.

Quote:
Ah, these are the folks you're talking about. I guess you haven't seen all of the RNC, otherwise you wouldn't have made such a silly comment.
I stand by my observation because I've been watching this snooze feast damn near all week; and all I;ve heard were insults and blaming the Democrats for this mess which when I last checked it was the republican Senate and Repersentatives who were in power most of the 8 years.

Quote:
Good point. When you find out, let us know. Then let us know what the Dems are going to do for you, too.
Obama has said in his speech at the DNC, what his plans are to get us out of this mess. Anyway, isnt McCain and Palin your candidate? You should have an idea of what they plan on doing differently, instead of staying in a country that told us that we've worn out their welcome.
