Stay Classy, Sacramento

mccain help women? did anyone hear what he said tonight? he said that women's health - a woman's life was used as an excuse for pro-choice extremists. i was stunned. i was born to a 43 year old woman and i am a mother and i believe life begins at conception. but the concept that the mother's life and health do not matter - that they are some kind of excuse - is just flat out unbelievable. john mccain sure didn't mean to - but he showed who he really is tonight and it isn't pretty or decent. there is no way that i will put my daughter's life in that man's power.

JUST NOT THINKING: what in the world are you talking about? Barack Obama did not compare the McCain's child, whose ancestry is from Bangladesh, not Africa, (that is a story Tucker Eskew made up, in SC, in 2000) to anybody, let alone George Wallace. That is almost as absurd as Cindy McCain deciding, for no apparent reason, to lie and say that Mother Teresa told her to adopt the baby with a cleft palate. There was a baby and Cindy did adopt her - it's just that Mother Teresa didn't have anything to do with it.

And dotttydo: would you like to give a reference, a date, a program for an ABC show where Obama said he was Muslim? I'd love to hear it. It didn't happen.

In defense of Republicans with some sanity left, the Republican governor of California was outraged by the website and did demand that it be changed. But I wonder if he has seen the new one? I guess that's what you have to put up with if you want free speech though. It sure does make those Republicans look like racist white trash, though.

dottydo has barack obama ever attacked palin based on his hubby's bloodline even her ethical abuses in alaska whereas palin called him a pal of terrorists I dont understand why you voted for hilary clinton if you instead 'ignoring my gender' issue tell me one thing mccain plan that will help women?

Seems like an average session from the right wingers on the comment boards for this blog, Jake.

dottydo - if you can find me a southerner who doesn't have cherokee blood in them, i wish you luck - it's not gonna happen. or an oakie. and there are plenty of racists in the tennesee, kentucky, virginia, west virginia, and georgia hills. and in the central valley of california - which is filled with oakies - i know - i'm related to some of them. todd palin's bloodlines do not mean a thing.

but i will agree with you about john mccain. i do not believe that the creature left in john mccain has any honor left, but i don't think that's because he is a racist. now tucker eskew, who john mccain sold his soul to - he's a different story.

Jake,

you have a very one-sided blog.

also, you have a very strange voice.

", one thing our offspring will always remember is how "

Right!, and another is how B O condoned the comparing of Cindy and John McCain, who adopted a wee black baby with a cleft palet, to George Wallace!

If ever there were a racist and a bigot in this in the election line-up, it would have to be Obama!

Remembering the treatment of Clinton and now of Palin, if ever there were a group of sexist blowhards, it would have to be the Obamanauts!

Granted, he has the glitz..... but you know what that rhymes with!

Dwight Eisenhower sent the 101st airborne during a time when Republicans fought for the rights of minorities. Eisenhower, himself the son of a mulatto mother, knew personally the tragedy of segregation and fought for the rights of all people in the armed forces, in government as well as in education. But that was Eisenhower. Where are those Republicans who are sensitive to the issues of the common man? Eisenhower's granddaughter is supporting Obama. And rightly so. Obama really speaks of an equitable and balanced platform.

Jess, it was President Eisenhower who sent the 101st Airborne Division to Little Rock, AR to enforce the federal government's desegregation policy at Central High School. Give credit where credit is due.

OTOH, Sen. John F. Kennedy voted for the controversial "Jury Trial Amendment", which effectively rendered the Civil Rights Act of 1957 useless because convictions for civil rights violations could not be obtained under that mandate. Further, it should be noted that die-hard segregationists such as Sen. James Eastland, Sen. John McClellan and Mississippi Gov. James P. Coleman were early supporters of Kennedy's 1960 presidential campaign.

That said, I strongly support Sen. Barack Obama for president. McCain and Palin are stirring up toxic feelings about race and politics that should be repudiated.

waterboarding

That's the GOP. That's our CIA

It stinks as a way to treat citizens and the fact that the GOP is using waterboarding as a threat shows their true colors.

Jess,
How can a guy who adopted a little girl from another race and raised her like his own a racist?
How can Palin, who is married to a man from a tribe be called a racist/

Won't work...looks stupid.

How about that Joe Biden if birth certificates are an issue as expected?

The restaurant he always refers to has been closed since 1986.
scary stuff eh?

Is it me or are posts disappearing from the site?

dottydo

Actually, most women want what is best for their families and their country, regardless of what gender the messenger happens to be.

Leelee
Google MY FELLOW PRISONERS

the McCain Alzheimer's speech.

Google OCT 2001 Letterman Anthrax McCain to witness video of McCain committing the CRIME, on TV, of using FALSE propaganda to lead the USA to war.

CANT ERASE THOSE MEMORIES.
Not to worry. Bush will pardon old John right before Obama takes office.

Leelee

Annenberg is a REPUBLICAN supporter of McCain.

Get your lies straight.

FInd those WMDs, did ya? That's like hunting for a birth certificate thats right in your hand, ya know.
Only there were no WMDs, ya know.
REPUBLICAN = traitor, treason and money.

Palin repeats lies even when confronted with the truth.
What is going to stop her is the lawsuit by a Republican. That's a civil suit. He is suing her for using Yahoo to defraud the people of Alaska out of the Freedom of Information Act and access to information that should be publicly available.

Response to LIZ:
I don't know who specifically spread the news. I just heard it on some TV Stations, which weren't anti-Obama FOX NEWS. That's all I can tell you.

Facists of the world unite. The Republican party welcomes you.
PS. Make up stuff, we dont care.

I never got the quote that McCain is like George Wallace until today. Today I helped my kid wiht his social studies homework. RIght now he knows four presidents: Washington(the first), Lincoln(freed the slaves) and FDR (WWII and Great Depression) and JFK (desegrated the south). I just realized, 100 years from now, Barak Obama will be added to the list of 5 presidents everyone can name. Three hundred years from now, Obama will be one of those most well known. The first black. And what a tide of hate he had to ride over to get there. What is happenening here is HUGE! And like JFK desegregating the south, who do we remember along with it? The ugly white racist George Wallace in his inaugeral speech said " I say segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever"...that image, of that nasty ugly hateful racist white man, that will be Palin and McCain and all of you who go down this road. Three hundred years from now, one hundred, when having a black as president is no big deal, one thing our offspring will always remember is how very hateful and ugly you all were.
