"No interviews for Palin"

Cover up call the press unpatriotic and sexist...shut out the people...continue the Bush Cheney legacy

the dark lord is rising again...shiver.

For your enlightentment - from the Congressional Record:

- The increase in incomes of the top 1 percent of Americans from 2003 to 2005 exceeded the total income of the poorest 20 percent of Americans, data in a new report by the Congressional Budget Office shows.

The poorest fifth of households had total income of $383.4 billion in 2005, while just the increase in income for the top 1 percent came to $524.8 billion, a figure 37 percent higher.

The total income of the top 1.1 million households was $1.8 trillion, or 18.1 percent of the total income of all Americans, up from 14.3 percent of all income in 2003. The total 2005 income of the three million individual Americans at the top was roughly equal to that of the bottom 166 million Americans, analysis of the report showed.

The report is the latest to document the growing concentration of income at the top, a trend that President Bush said last January had been under way for more than 25 years.

Earlier reports, based on tax returns, showed that in 2005 the top 10 percent, top 1 percent and fractions of the top 1 percent enjoyed their greatest share of income since 1928 and 1929. -

I believe this growing wealth disparity to be the biggest single threat facing the United States as we knew it. Bigger than Al Quaeda, Iran, Russia or China.

Nothing I've seen from Republicans indicates any intention to meet this threat. In fact, the process accelerated under Bush, and McCain's plans will further accelerate that.

All you folks worried about abortion and gay marriage (which Bush did nothing about in eight years) had better start worrying about this.

On the bright side, if we keep going down this path, it should solve the immigration problem. When the disparity is great enough, Americans will begin sneaking across the border into Mexico!

Everybody complains about their student loans, but when Cindy has billions to pay with, she shouldn't caomplain...

This special treatment for Palin has been incredible. If a man had been selected as a vice-president and had a dozen different scandals raised in one week and did not allow any reporters to question him, he would have been denounced by every reporter in the country. Instead the MSM treats her like the Virgin Mary and either keeps quiet or bashes anybody who raises these issues as partisan. They are nothing but mouthpieces for Republican Party Propaganda. Totally outrageous. Reminds me of how they did not allow anybody on television who opposed the Iraq War for the three months before the war began.

Detriot Mayor's fall from grace ... signs of more to come in the Obama camp ?

So Obama is dragging Hillary out to do his dirty work for him. Again hiding behind Hillary's skirt and more affirmative action.

I'm really ashame of Hillary. Her character was trashed by Obama and goons, and the democratic party. None stood up to defend her, except John McCain. Like an abused woman, Hillary is going back for more punishment. I can no longer see Hillary as my hero.

I'm sure Sarah Palin will not put up with such shameless behavior. I'm glad the republicans will fight for her. Go Away Hillary. You are no hero to women who are fighting for everything in life.

I think McCain's best years are behind him and now I fear, with all of his talk about "Iran" this and "Iran" that, he's looking for a fight he thinks he can win. Just look how many times he used the word "fight" in his acceptance speech last night.

Also, his choice of Sarah Palin is a total brain fart. McCain has a lot of these, folks. I don't want McCain "hovering over the button" and I certainly don't want Sarah Palin keeping Mr. Putin on hold while she practices her beauty pageant wave. I also do not want either one of them mandating what a woman can or cannot do with their own body. Palin's statement was clear about her daughter. "Bristol decided to keep the baby." If McCain and Palin are elected, there will be no individual "decision" at all. The government will have already made it for you; rape and incest be dammned!

Teaching creationism in our schools? No sex education? Are you KIDDING ME?

Look, we got it wrong 8 years ago and again 4 years later. Let's not get fooled again by the self-serving "Rich First" party.

geevill

So McNuts is relying on Palin for the Clinton votes, big surprise, nothing new from the republicans...

Carrie where were Cindy McCain's two sister last night?? The two she doesn't even acknowlege exist as she still claims she is an only child(true Republican family values).......

McCain will change the republican party and Washington for ever. Obama is already giving the Democrats a bad name (corruption!)

Democrat for Palin/McCain

I wonder how many were caught waving their hands under the toilet stalls at the convention last night, with that many Republican in one place you know there were some hanky panky goings on.

I attempted to post a message on CNN's board after Palin's speech, because the 800+ responses in a few minutes all looked very canned.....

"I was an independent, and now I'm convinced Obama is the way to go"...

My question on the board was simple... I wonder if you pulled the logs from this blog, how many of these posts would register from the same IP address. It was rejected as offensive. Which was a confirmation as far as I'm concerned.

Arguing with the people here and on most of the mainstream US media blogs is quite pointless since it's obvious many of them work on the Obama campaign.

Interesting that Obama and Biden tell people in interviews one thing and then send out their army of campaign bloggers to say another.

I thought McCain speech was dull and he talked about how horrible Vietnam was for him. If being in a war that should never have been so bad then get us out of Iraq which we should not have been in in the first place. Don't keep surging troops and continue it for "100 years."

Newsflash

Hey everyone 90% of the McCain's policies are already in progress. They are called...

The Bush Administration

Check it out.

How's that working for ya.

Palin is inexperienced and should not be anywhere near the presidency...

republicans have fought that obamas 8 years of public office is not enough, how can her little time in office with zero foreign policy knowledge be near the presidency....

FN all I could stand was three minutes and I went to bed. Did he use that lie about the guard and the cross in the sand again. That story comes from a book written by Alexander Soljenitzen that McCain admits he read so he cherry picked a tale from the book and claims it happened to him, he's such a pig.

Obama is signing attack dogs to blunt the Palin Surge.

What happened to Biden ? Buyers Remorse

FYI evereyone Obama's degree from Columbia is in Political Science major (Foreign Relations) its not like he's un-educated in foreign affairs.

WHAY PLAIN SURGE IS THAT, OH SORRY I MENT PALIN
