Good job, Huck...

"She knows where she stands on issues that are important to so many of us," Huckabee said of Palin"

Hmmm......... So let's have some press interviews so that we can know

Huckabee, I am finally proud of you. This is your golden moment statement. Let us get this ball rolling, and prevent our great country from becoming another god less Socialist State. BJDoc

Paulin is running away from media and she is not interested that people get to know her, she is hiding something but the media will find out, certainly many things came out already and the most importants issues are at she is a cessessionist and a poor mother. More to come out from this quick and dirty selection from porr old McCain. God save America from McPaulin.

Thinking,
you and the other Obama supporters are not part of the "many of us".

this is what happens when you dont vet your picks...

i mean seriously, what executive experience does she have again? Tucker Bounds couldnt even state ONE thing she had ordered the alaskan guard to do...

this was a terrible pick it wasnt the pick mccain wanted, he was forced to do it, and now its blowing up in his face.

plus having a downs child, why would you ever want to be VP? You wont be able to properly give the child that you WANTED to have as much attention as they so desperately need....

You are giving the child life, and then taking away his life by not being there

just a stupid pick

she is a terrible pick she stomped all over mccains message he has been yelling for the last two months

this all comes down to judgment and mccain failed in his judgment here

Sara Polin should take care of her OWN family first before anything else, she shows that her family is on their own,so GOD save us from her decisions on somekind of disaster, people think,family first, Polin NO, PERIOD.
Marika from Texas

This is what I was saying in a previous thread. Republicans are intentionally focusing on the teenage pregnancy.

By doing this, they are hoping the rest of us don't notice the ethics investigation and Palin's connection to a secessionist Alaskan political party.

Psa 26:4 I did not sit with liars, and I will not be found among hypocrites.

These so called evangelicals who are really political cronies hiding behind the cloth love the Republican Party more than they love God. They don't have any family values. But we all know if that were Michelle Obama's or Hillary Clinton's pregnant teenage daughter Tony Perkins and others would be pointing a finger at them and saying what a poor example they are setting. They would be raking these mothers across the hotest of coals.

As a born again, bible-toting Christian, I'm offended by these hypocrites

Huckabee: "In fact I don’t know if you realize this but Sarah Palin got more votes running for mayor in Wasilla, Alaska than Joe Biden did in two quests for the presidency..."

If so, then there was massive voter fraud, because Wasilla has less people than Biden's Senate office.

Huck-

If you and your fellow Evangelical preachers would spend as much time preaching that pre-marital and extra-marital sex is a sin, then maybe you wouldn't have to focus so much attention on having your congregants worry about abortion being a sin.

Thanks for splitting the conservative vote and giving us McCain. And your "anybody but Romney" is old and we see now just how hypocritical you are. He has a stellar family and family values. But now we are stuck with someone who lacks experience and has all this baggage.

Where does she stand on earmarks- apparently thats important to McCain? Tee hee! This is where the religious right get it wrong. Abortion just isn't a huge issue, in terms of public policy, to a lot of American people, and it makes the religious right sound condescending when that is the only issue they can talk about. Are they not bothered about social justice for instance? And maybe Mike Huckabee wants to talk to Palin about environmental issues.

Well said.

And those issues are the economy, health care, foreign policy....and her stance is, no health care plan, more big oil profits and help the rich, and well we know that she hasn't had to deal with foreign policy, right? Its a sorry state of affairs to try to push some novice who's only claim to fame is a being a soccer mom, shooting guns, having a retarded child in spite of knowing she was pregnant with one and oh a pregnant teen-age daughter who WILL have that baby and marry the father (if he wants to marry her I presume) of course since Sarah likes to shoot guns he better. Puh leeze, I think John McCain realized he shouldn't be president and this is the best way to lose.

geevill,

We know this already. Most of us have never been part of the GOP plan.

Thanks for your concern though.

Paul,

You've got to investigate the ethics of earmarking millions of dollars to the employer who gave the freshman Senator's wife a 260% salary raise soon after he became a US Senator.

considering the grand hypocrisy of obama, palin is comparatively genuine

Instrument of "change" Joe Biden has been in Washington D.C. since Sarah Palin was NINE years old.

She took on corruption, while Obama took "from" corrupt Tony Rezko.

Obama manages (he said) a campaign that has a budget much larger than that of Wassily, but failes to mention that Sarah's STATE budget is 80 times larger than his CAMPAIGN MANAGER runs.

Good pick politically, and I think Sarah Palin can learn in office as VP, while Obama's learning would come in the #1 positions.

Republicans, get off your butts and DONATE and VOTE.

If so, then there was massive voter fraud, because Wasilla has less people than Biden's Senate office.

Yup, that's how many votes Joe got. The rest were stolen by Zerobameus, God of Nothingness.

Sarah's Pastor.

But Pastor Kalnins has also preached that critics of President Bush will be banished to hell; questioned whether people who voted for Sen. John Kerry in 2004 would be accepted to heaven; charged that the 9/11 terrorist attacks and war in Iraq were part of a war "contending for your faith;" and said that Jesus "operated from that position of war mode."

After a weekend of watching McCain surrogates stumbling and fumbling to find a coherent defense of this pick, we seem to see an emerging strategy.

Both from Huckabee and numerous posters here, we see this indignant claim about how the Democrats are attacking a teenage pregnant girl.

Does it matter this isn't true? Nope, not really. Not to Republicans. Doesn't matter at all - so long as it undercuts the questions people really are asking about this pick.

That's funny Huckabee... Especially since only 909 citizens of Wasilla voted for Sarah Palin in 1999. In a town of over 7,500, it means she won with less than 12% of the city supporting her.

Attacking a teenage girl? Laughable claim. Putting a pregnant teenager in the whitehouse is an attack on America's international image, if anything...

More Sarah's Pastor

Kalnins has preached that the 9/11 attacks and the invasion of Iraq were part of a "world war" over the Christian faith, one in which Jesus Christ had called upon believers to be willing to sacrifice their lives.

Huckabee never could do math.

Population Wasilla is a village in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough in the U.S. state of Alaska, part of the Anchorage Metropolitan Statistical Area. As of the 2000 census, its population was 5,469, but the 2005 estimate gave a population of 8,471.

Palin didn't win in a landslide election in her 10 years as a Mayor.

In 2007 Biden got 300,000 votes for this years Presidency.

Huck, you being a lying Pastor does the Soul good huh?

GOP=Lying Sack of shytes

Does Pastor Kalnins like male escorts or just his parishioners' wives/daughters?

McCAIN HAS BEEN NEUTRALIZED!!!

He and the Republicans will spend every waking moment from now until election day DEFENDING HIS POOR JUDGMENT BY SELECTING PALIN AS VP!!!

All this valuable time lost defending this trailer trash, when he should be on the attack against Obama...

So, so sad Mr. McCain, bye, bye now!!!

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!!!!!

"I'm proud of her record as a reformer"

you mean "as a liar"

Heaven help us. NO SERIOUSLY... What is going on that the right wing can consistently hijack an election? This woman is a disaster ... believing our country's forefathers put the "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance (which was actually inserted into the original pledge in 1954 -- the original pledge was written in 1892 by Christian Socialist). She's said that she thinks running for VP is "fun". She mentions her son being in Iraq as evidence of her national security qualifications. Check out her daughter's boyfriend's myspace page and see if you really want these family values brought into your living room or kitchen table discussions. Her daughter's pregnancy is relevant is because of the hypocrisy of the whole thing -- evangelical Pentecostal Christian, supports teaching abstinence in schools rather than sex education. McCain stated that his chief concern in choosing a VP was that he/she was qualified as commander in chief. His Hail Mary choice to calm the evangelicals and grab some former Hillary supporters shows how desperate old and feeble he's turned out to be. Country first? Doubt it.

chris if by genuine you mean corrupt and evil then yea sara wins over obama every time!

Palin said she didnt vote for the bridge to nowhere, but she campaigned in ketchikan (im from ketchikan) and she indeed voted for the bridge

Palin has how many firing scandals?

she isnt a fighter of pork barrel spending but someone who hired lobbyists to garner MILLIONS for her home town, and she ahs more pork then a pig farm...

this was a disastrous pick

Poor NeoConnies, all the kings horses and all the kings men can't put their party together again. Ms Palin is a total mess and no amount of shaking their pom-poms or whining is gonna make it go away.

I wanna hear 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 and more 9/11

PAULIN WITH SEXUALLY ACTIVE UNDERAGE DAUGHTERS?

-HEY NEO CONS, TELL US AGAIN ABOUT THOSE FAMILY VALUES.

"As a born again, bible-toting Christian, I'm offended by these hypocrites" Mary, you should take the plank out of your own eye before spamming your unChristian remarks. Perhaps, you need a little more love, forgiveness and redemption from Jesus to soothe things over for you.

EXPERIENCE EXPERIENCE EXPERIENCE

we cant trust someone in the presidency with no experience!

a vp pick is someone who needs to be ready to lead should something ahppen to the president

teh vp pick is the first big decision to be made by our future commander in chief

all those lines were pulled by the mccain camp...

so what happened?

they just ran over their own lines, months and months of focusing in on a theme and htey destroy it to pander to women,,,

i mean they really think that any women is going to replace hillary clinton in the eyes of women?

at least hillary had experience, this women is a joke

Palin has a NUT Pastor?

Woo Hooo! Can you say Reverend Wright? Let the VETTING FUN BEGIN!!!!!

Thinking do you have a link to any info on that one? We need to get the e-mail machine cranked up!!!!

I just got two e-mails this AM from a couple of my Repub friends of Palin in a bikini holding a gun!!!

What a riot!!!!!!

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!!!!!

In 2007 Biden got 300,000 votes for this years Presidency.

Bidengot 300,000 votes before the primaries even started. Sounds about right. Was Beau involved?

So Sarah Palin is another religious nutcase?

Great, that was all the GOP was missing, a religious nutcase to impose her veiws on me because god tells her she is right.

God talks to me too, he says that anyone who speaks for him is full of sh*t.

"Putting a pregnant teenager in the whitehouse is an attack on America's international image, if anything..." Reginald, so putting the bastard child Obama of an unwed mother who abandoned Obama with his grandparents must be horrific as well, by your standards.

Issues that we all care about - who the RNC? Earmarks, a bridge to nowhere, 20 mill in debt. Come on and stop drinking the cool aid HUck - these are issues the republicans believe in!

"I'm proud of her record as a reformer.."

Vetter,

You got that one right, the centerpoint of her first speech "THE BRIDGE TO NOWHERE" was nothing but a BIG LIE!!!!

http://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/idUSN3125537020080901

"we cant trust someone in the presidency with no experience!" bhrandon, I agree! VOTE NO TO OBAMA AND OBAMA SUPPORTERS!!!!

The other poster is right: People, lay off this pregnancy crap. It's old. The only concern is the shotgun marriage - the poor young man who says he doesn't want kids is being forced to raise kids. Well, another thing is abstinence education: IT DOES NOT WORK.

The real ISSUES are Palin's affiliation with the recessionists, her abuse of power while in office both as mayor and governor, and her LIES.

"her abuse of power while in office both as mayor and governor, and her LIES." Vetter, we must be talking about Obama and his lies about voting against FISA, Obama's lies about his uncle liberating Jews from Auschwitz and Obama's lies in signing a pledge to use public financing in the general election.

Goodness you're vile, Jeff. By the way Obama's parents were married and divorced when he was two. His grandparents helped raise him -- his mom didn't abandon him. Read a book. Or maybe two. And stop attacking just because your candidate McCain has his head up his arse. Palin is a ridiculous VP pick -- seriously crazy. Huckabee would have made more sense if we wanted to get the evangelicals going. And practically anyone else would have made more sense on the experience front. McCain has made a mockery - national and international - of this process. It's a sad, sad day when people rally around this choice. She's a boob and I mean that in only the cleanest nicest sense of the word.

geevill,

We don't care about your Republican trolls lies and your tired old stories about Obama anymore!!

This woman Palin and her "trailer trash" soap opera are much more JUICY!!!! The AMERICAN PEOPLE WANT MORE DIRT ON THE NEW VP!!!!

Hey I wonder if she has one of those "JUICY" tattoos across her lower back!!!

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!!!!!!!!!!!

Jeff

then i guess we vote for who then?

obama has foreign policy experience, joe biden has a crap load, mccian has a crap load, but his vp pick has waht?

mccin used a political gimmick a political roll of the dice and is that someone with whom we want to give the highest post in the land?

mccain obviously doesnt have hte right kind of judgment to lead.

obama carefully vetted carefully went through all his candidates to make the best vp pick... mccain woke up and said, we need a women so we can get the hillary voters

MCCAIN DOESNT HAVE THE JUDGMENT TO BE PRESIDENT

and his VP PICK DOESNT HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE VP

PUMA Alice,

I LOVE YOU!!!!

I know you meant that schedule to be funny, but too bad for the Repubs it is TRUE!!!!

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!!!!!!!

Obama had NO power to abuse. His 'present' votes don't count. His lies are well documented.

Palin lies too, and she lies like a dog. Face it.

Who's PERFECT, morally and spiritually, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton or John Edwards, or any world leaders throughout the history of mankind? It's clear we all fall short of the Glory of God, meaning sinful (born with a sinful nature), and living in a fallen (or imperfect) world. The real question is Obama's experience in dealing with Russia, North Korea, China and Iran?

daphne,

Sorry girl, its not going to work anymore!!!

Hey have you heard Palin has some NUT CASE right wing Pastor??

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!!!!!!!

MCCAIN DOESNT HAVE THE JUDGMENT TO BE PRESIDENT

and his VP PICK DOESNT HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE VP

Three months before she was thrust into the national political spotlight, Gov. Sarah Palin was asked to handle a much smaller task: addressing the graduating class of commission students at her one-time church, Wasilla Assembly of God.

Her speech in June provides as much insight into her policy leanings as anything uncovered since she was asked to be John McCain's running mate.

Speaking before the Pentecostal church, Palin painted the current war in Iraq as a messianic affair in which the United States could act out the will of the Lord.

"Pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right. Also, for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending [U.S. soldiers] out on a task that is from God," she exhorted the congregants. "That's what we have to make sure that we're praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God's plan."

Religion, however, was not strictly a thread in Palin's foreign policy. It was part of her energy proposals as well. Just prior to discussing Iraq, Alaska's governor asked the audience to pray for another matter -- a $30 billion national gas pipeline project that she wanted built in the state. "I think God's will has to be done in unifying people and companies to get that gas line built, so pray for that," she said.

Right on Huck!!!! Christians aren't perfect. We strive to do well, but we cannot help if one goes astray. At least Bristol is keeping the baby and not murdering by abortion, and she is marrying the father...at least they are taking responsibility for their actions..unlike many young couples in America who think they can get rid of a problem by having an abortion and not owning up to the fact they are the ones who made the mistake not the baby.

if the GOP are so sure about Palin, why is she being hidden from the press.. actual interviewers? Does she only get to read scripts in front of an unquestioning crowd?

McCain/Palin: Alaska First

What is Biden's foriegn policy experience. specifically. We know Obama is a scared appeaser.

I'll say it again. If its true that 1) that Alaskan Independence Party advocates secession from the United States, and 2) Palin supported this party anytime in the last couple years, she's done.

Watch for verification (or not) of these points, and if verified, watch for her to drop off the ticket.

Geevill: "We know Obama is a scared appeaser."

First, not too many McCain supporters even know what the word appeaser means. And second, its the Republicans who are scared of every two-bit dictator out there.

Why are you guys so scared of them, by the way? Its sorta kinda embarrassing, given we're a super power and all that.

Sarah Barracuda will not quit. She has to be fired. Bet on it.

geevil

you are bringing out the appeaser line?

so you obviously think bushes foreign policy was great and we should handle things more like bush handled them...

why have hte republicans taken something like communication and tried to turn it into appeasment?

was bush appeasing china then?
or north korea?
or what about russia?

geevil you obviously dont know hwat your talking about, and it is clear you are voting for mccain because you like the fact that he could have us in 3 wars as soon as he takes office

i for one want no more wars and i want america to come back as a leader instead of an intimidator that invades countries on lies

geevil

what is palins foreign policy experience

biden has a ton of foreign policy experience if you think he doesnt you are even more clueless then you appear to be

its great to see you running around in circles trying to figure out a way to talk about the democrats with such a terrible VP pick....

Biden did not even compete in 1988 when votes were being cast as he withdreaw after the Kinnock non attribution speech given at the Iowa State Fair. In 2008 his name was still on the ballot in a number of states after he withdrew following the Iowa caucus so he would have had more votes than what Palin received in her election and reelection campaigns. Biden was baptized and raised and is still a practicing Roman Catholic. Palin was baptized in the Catholic Church but after her parents became members of the Assemblies of God was rebaptized in that denomination when she was 12 or 13 and she shares the characteristic of being a former Catholic and now an evangelical or pentecostal with other Repblican polticians, including Governor Tim Pawlenty, Congressman Pence of Indiana, former COngressman Kasich of Ohio and Congressman Tancredo of Colorado.

bhrandon - I really appreciated that Bill Clinton line from the other night:

"The world has always been more impressed with the power of our example than the example of our power."

Palin is Alaska-First to the core. She put her fetus at risk just to avoid his being born on U.S. soil (well, Texan soil).

Why hasn't the media told us about Biden's alleged severe asthma problem? or his two brain operations? or Mr. chicken's 5 deferrments

"Biden did not even compete in 1988 when votes were being cast as he withdreaw after the Kinnock non attribution speech given at the Iowa State Fair."

That brings up another point. At least Biden had the humility to step back. McCain gets caught plagiarizing Wikipedia without attribution, and we see him still in the race.

Davis: Don't think so:
Here's a Question we Republicans and other concerned citizens are asking:
Why is the MSM including ABC News
writing this crap instead investigating
Obama's relationship with
weather underground terrorist
William Ayers?
August 22, 2008
Bill & Barack's Excellent Adventure
By Thomas Lifson
William Ayers, unrepentant terrorist and education professor, is once again being tied to Barack Obama in the public mind. Controversy builds over the withholding of the archives of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, an expensive failed school reform effort headed by Obama and effectively run by Ayers, held by the library of the University of Illinois Chicago. Researchers who have gained access to a few documents recording the history of the project have found strong evidence of a very important working relationship between the two men on the project, Obama's sole claim to executive experience.

Oddly enough, even though the project produced no measurable improvement in student performance according to its own final report, educators and administrators -- participants and grantees of the CAC -- were reported by outside monitors to be often "ebullient" about the activities. For insiders, it was an excellent adventure. For the pupils stuck in the failing public schools of Chicago, an ongoing, unrelieved disaster.

Obama and his campaign long have gone out of their way to downplay, in fact distort, the long and evidently deep relationship between Ayers and Obama. In the Philadelphia Democratic debate last April, George Stephanopoulos asked Obama about his relationship with Ayers, and the candidate responded:

"This is a guy who lives in my neighborhood, who's a professor of English in Chicago, who I know and who I have not received some official endorsement from. He's not somebody who I exchange ideas from on a regular basis.

"And the notion that somehow as a consequence of me knowing somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago when I was 8 years old, somehow reflects on me and my values, doesn't make much sense, George. [....]

"So this kind of game, in which anybody who I know, regardless of how flimsy the relationship is, is somehow -- somehow their ideas could be attributed to me -- I think the American people are smarter than that. They're not going to suggest somehow that that is reflective of my views, because it obviously isn't."

Almost two months earlier, the "neighbor" talking point campaign manager David Axelrod introduced the notion that Obama and Ayers were mostly just neighbors, telling The Politico's Ben Smith,

"Bill Ayers lives in his neighborhood. Their kids attend the same school," he said. "They're certainly friendly, they know each other, as anyone whose kids go to school together."

Ayers and his wife are in their sixties, while the Obamas are in their mid-forties. Ayers' children are all adults, while Obama's children are currently 10 and 7. Axelrod's prevarication is telling, bespeaking confidence that nobody in the media will bother to dispute an obvious falsehood.

"Flimsy" turns out to be a completely misleading word when it comes to characterizing the Obama-Ayers relationship.

Notwithstanding the campaign's efforts to direct attention away from Ayers, a 527 group, American Issues Project, has just released the following ad tying Obama to Ayers, and says it is spending 2.8 million on television airtime in key states.

Despite the legally questionable embargo of the CAC archives, most of its tax returns and official evaluations of the CAC have already been made public. In the hands of intrepid bloggers such as Steve Diamond, Tom Maguire and Dan Riehl, there is already proof of Obama's extensive involvement with Ayers over the course of his chairmanship, and an emerging picture of Obama's indecisiveness and absence when serious problems needed leadership.

Barack Obama joined the CAC shortly after William Ayers and Anne C. Hallett received news that their letter of November 8, 1994 submitting a grant proposal to The Annenberg Challenge had been approved. They were to get as much as $49 million from Annenberg, plus tens of millions more dollars from other foundations. Obama's involvement predates by months the actual incorporation of the CAC and his appointment as founding chairman of the board. He came on board almost as soon as the proposal was approved.

How on earth did a relatively unknown associate at a politically-connected but small Chicago law firm come to be entrusted with the heady task of handing out tens of millions of dollars of other people's money?

Keep in mind that Obama was at this point in his career very undistinguished considering his pedigree. It would be a kind understatement to say he had underperformed his academic resume. Three years out of Harvard Law and the Law Review Presidency, here is a short list of some of the things Obama had not done:

Clerked for a US Supreme Court Justice (or any Federal Judge);

worked in an important legal position at any level of serious responsibility;

written a law review article or note or published anything of legal substance.

As of 1995 Obama may have had the most professionally empty resume of any President of the Harvard Law Review three years gone from "The Law School."

And yet Ayers gave him a gig that would enable him to hand out large amounts of money to many people in Chicago, who could be expected to be grateful, once Obama ran for office -- as he was to do later that very year, in an event held at the home of Ayers and Dohrn.

Quite clearly, Obama was already well-enough known and trusted by Ayers to be offered the sensitive, prestigious and highly visible post of chairman of this important new undertaking. So we must ask, when did Obama and Ayers actually first get to know one another? And how did they come to trust one another?

One possible connection between Ayers and Obama was Sidley Austin, the prestigious Chicago law firm where Obama had a summer job after his first year at Harvard Law School, and where he met his future wife Michelle, assigned to him as a mentor. Also working at Sidley Austin was Bernadine Dohrn, wife of William Ayers, and a fellow Weather Underground terrorist. Given the shared "progressive" politics of the three, they probably knew one another and associated together at a firm known as a white shoe corporate practice.

Or Obama might have met Ayers even earlier, during his stint as a community organizer on the South Side of Chicago, in fact. Ayers was a well-known and very active figure in left wing Chicago politics, and might have encountered the young, articulate, Ivy League educated rookie black radical Obama, working in a Saul Alinksy spinoff.

We soon will know much more about the period of collaboration between Obama and Ayers following the start of the CAC. Even if the archives continue to be withheld from public scrutiny, the cat is out of the bag with the documents available to all. The formidable analytical engine of bloggers trading insights and new data is warming up.

But the period prior to 1995, the time when Bill and Barack, the terrorist and the presidential aspirant, got to know one another and build the relationship of trust, is one excellent adventure likely to remain obscure.

Geevill: "Why hasn't the media told us about Biden's alleged severe asthma problem? or his two brain operations? or Mr. chicken's 5 deferrments"

Classic Republican response. Can't defend their own nightmare, so try to change the conversation to a line of attack against the Democrats.

Sorry Geevill, but McCain jealously wanted the spotlight - he wanted a pick everyone would talk about - and now he's got it.

Paul

me too it was a great line and it is exactly how i have always thought of america.

i always thought we were the people that came in to save the day, we were the people who were right and could solve the issues,

we had all this power but we didnt use it for ill but for the good...

and with the bush administration it all changed

and now we have all these republicans like geevil running around saying appeaser and all this crap

this is why voting for mccain is deadly and disastrous...

he is in the mind set of the bush administration and geevils mindset

talking is bad we should just nuke everyone,

we are right they are wrong

we love god god is on our side

i mean what is this crap... we are suppose to be a nation that leads, not a nation that destroys

-the fact that Gov. Palin is a NeoPentacostal Dominionist which is a church that preaches purging the Earth of all non-Christians by a specially anointed army of God (starting with the Jews), IS news; (religious fanaticism)

-The fact that as a teen Gov. Palin played a leading role as a member of said army (Joel's Army or the Army of the Third Wave-which most Christian theologians consider heretical in nature) IS news....

PS: All of these stories have been broken by other major media outlets over the week end... so if any of this IS news to you, my I suggest a Google search.

If Palin supports Alaskan secession and is forced to drop from the ticket, who does McCain come back with?

Can he go with a pro-choicer like Lieberman or Ridge? Can he go with a part-time pro-choicer like Romney? Or does he have to pick a tried and true pro-lifer?

McCain's first wife was a
1.Beauty Queen, no substance. He cheated on her and his children with many women while his wife was crippled and trying to recover from a bad crash.

Mccain lies abouts his age to meet another
2.Beauty Queen while cheating on his wife, files for a marriage license while married and still living with his wife and kid's.

Now McCain pick's another

3. Beauty Queen who is turning out to be the biggest bust in the World of VP choices.

WHAT IS IT WITH MCCAIN AND BEAUTY QUEENS.. THAT SHOULD BE A GOOD AD TO ATTACK MCCAIN AND SHUT THIS DOWN.

McShame legacy in one sentence.

IT WAS FILLED WITH QUEENS, GUY FRIENDS AND GIRLFRIENDS

why isnt hte media making a HUGE deal about the fact that ONE of our candidates for the presidency has had not ONE but TWO of hte most deadly skin cancers removed from his body

i mean cmon... it is so likely that mccain succumbs to this skin cancer that it obviously brings to the fore front his VP pick

so geevil what say you now?
