Been researched - no sweetheart deals. Your way behind the curve.

I think that McCain and Palin are REALLY Pro-Lie.

Lobbyists First
Maybe Country Second!
Maybe!!

what is it they don't want the rest of us to find out?

=======================================

They don't know less about the candidate they have been supporting so forcefully than Democrats and Independents.

Democrats, Independents, and the non-partisan media have - Surprise - actually taken the trouble to learn about Gov. Palin's actual record, positions, and policies.

Republicans don't care. They want to preserve her as an Icon. They are not in the least interested to learn who she REALLY is.

We Democrats pay her more respect by actually bothering to look at her real record of accomplishments - including successes, failures, lies SHE has told about her own record, but also LIES that have been told by opponents about her record.

Palin's most vociferous supporters live in FANTASY LAND. They don't want that bubble burst.

Hey Palin supporters - Palin is not Santa Claus - and in any case, if you haven't yet heard - SANTA CLAUSE IS NOT REAL.

Even if he is supposed to live somewhere up there around Juneau.

Palin Campaigned for the Bridge to Nowhere after it was already killed by Congress in 2005. She has kept 73 million of the funds still hoping to deliver a scaled down version. TPM is reporting

now that Palin is a celebrity (like Paris Hilton) she's going to be held accountable.

Has anyone noticed the tone of the topics for this blog?

Scan down the list of topics and see how many support Obama and Biden or try to demean John McCain and Sarah Palin.

You folks at ABC need to at least TRY to look like an independent news source instead of an outlet for Obama campaign propaganda.

Anybody But Obama...

F-uck the liberal bias at ABC News.

OH, PLEASE! It's only like this because the McCain/Palin camp keep putting out lies and false accusations. Obama doesn't put out statments or ads that are normally scrutanized because they're TRUE!

The media is doing it's job. If you don't like it, take it up with your candidate for running false ads and picking an inexperienced running mate that no one knows ANYTHING about.

In the meantime, check out this site... see who's running his campaign:

Fact: Chicago has the third largest gross metropolitan product in the nation — approximately $440 billion according to 2007 estimates.[35] The city has also been rated as having the most balanced economy in the United States, due to its high level of diversification.
Fact: Daley kept Walmart out of Chicago by raising the minimum wage
Fact: Chicago politics may be tough but it gets things done.
Fact: Obama represents Chicago.

obamamama (which I'm sure you're not)...Obama (unlike most people in Congress) disclosed all his earmark information for the last couple of years (he requested none this year). In fact you can google Obama's earmarks to find out what they were. He co-sponsored a bill with Sen. Coburn from OK to have more government transparency so that the American people could see who is asking for what. And as I'm sure you know, Alaska is the worst offender.

If the DEMS lose, their life will be over (if you believe doom and gloom Obama). If the REPUBS lose, they will sit back and watch the DEMS corral their supporters and deliver nothing but the promise of change. The DEMS have used thier constituency for years, and their voters just go back for more. Hey DEMS, how's being a DEM worked out for you so far? Just trying to help you see the light.

I hoped any reporter could ask Sarah Palin her view on issues that 60%+ Americans agree on. Would she choose the will of the people or stick to her personal/religious belief to make a decision? I think that is a real concerning part of Sarah Palin.

Comment on alleged "bias" in headlines at ABC Political Radar favoring Obama/Biden over McCain/Palin:

Kim - best post so far:-)

Bush in a skirt. Deal with it.

Palin's earmarks were some of the most dramatic porkers that McCain fought against. I guess he does think that if you put lipstick on a pig, it's called reform and change.

Congress began the corrupt practice of earmarks. John McCain has promised to veto legislation that contains them. I hope the press continues to push the issue regarding Palin. It only serves to point out how corrupt our Congress is. The more attention to the issue the better.

If the REPUBS lose...

Democrats will have a chance to put this nation's house in order, and clean up the mess that Bush and the Republican Congress created over the past 6 of the 8 years.

If the REPUBS win...

Well, I'm going to join up quick with some Christian fundamentalist church, 'cause this time they'll be right...

ARMAGEDDON is upon us.:-)

you really are a moron if you conflate fact checking with liberal bias. It is the all too often overlooked responsibility of the press, to check on the veracity of what politicians say. It is important to the public to know more than their PR handouts. If Palin presents herself as a crusader against pork - but - by McCain's own standards - has been a voracious consumer of pork - that matters. That is important. that is something you can double check for yourself. McCain and Palin are simply lying to you - telling you what polls say you want to hear. You should demand more of your own candidates than that.

Can somebody tell me the answer to this question. I just realize the House of Reps is responsible for financial legislation. Finance and taxes start in the House. So can Senators even propose earmarks in legislation?

LOL:-)

So true, so true...

Congressional "earmarks" are requested
and accepted by U.S. Senators and
U.S. Congressmen and Congresswomen!
I don't believe that a state or a
municipality can directly request an
"earmark" from the U.S. Government!
This is a bogus non-issue!
If you want a conflict between the
Presidential Candidates and the their VP
Candidates you need look no further than the fact that Obama opposed the
Iraq War and Biden voted in favor of it as did Hillary Clinton!
