why don't we dicuss Palin and her husband's ties to the violent Anti-American Alaska Independance Party that Palin spoke at last year????

Sarah Palin said:

"As we send our young men and women overseas in a war zone to fight for democracy and freedoms, including freedom of the press, we've really got to have a mutually beneficial relationship here with those fighting the freedom of the press, and then the press, though not taking advantage and exploiting a situation, perhaps they would want to capture and abuse the privilege. We just want truth, we want fairness, we want balance."

Can't defend it, not sure what she said!

Everybody kinda knew the republicans would bring this stuff back at the end, especially if they were losing. They can't fight on the issues so they dredge up anything they can that they think might work. For thinking people, this won't work. This is old stuff. We're at a crossroads now and need to concentrate on important things like jobs, mortgages, retirement, health care, you know, the issues McCain doesn't know anything about. The self-proclaimed "maverick" lost the title a while ago, and now it's really, really time for a change.

this stinks to high heaven of desperation and it is no surprise that they are having Palin say this garbage, because when the blowback comes, they will hang her out to dry for it. McCain opposed the MLK holiday and wanted to fly the confederate flag from federal buildings, can we then openly call him a racist or associated with the KKK since they also supported those plans? How many members of the KKK did he associate with while on his southern tour? I believe that there is a photo of him and David Duke out there. Ok, so McCain is clearly a racist, he also opposes making it illegal to pay a woman less than a man for the same work, can we openly say he is sexist? Sorry Sarah, your VP salary will be cut by 8% and you'll be expected to bring him coffee each morning. Wear something nice. Sarah, do we now understand that you believe that witchcraft is something we need to defend against, your pastor does. Do you also believe that Alaska should secede from the Union, your husband was part of that movement.

Joe McCain, speaking at an event in support of his brother, called two Democratic-leaning areas in Northern Virginia "communist country,"

"I've lived here for at least 10 years and before that about every third duty I was in either Arlington or Alexandria, up in communist country," Joe McCain, a Navy veteran, said at an event in Loudoun County, Va.

Defend this!

Defend this:

At a rally on Saturday in California, Sarah Palin offered up a rather jarring argument for supporting the Republican ticket. "There's a place in Hell reserved for women who don't support other women,"

America has reached a sorry point in time when the best candidates we can come up with are some old burned out over the hill fart and some young racist hate filled black man who has never held a real job! It comes down to the lesser of two evils. So make your choices and quit crying about the other candidate! Neither one is worth a crap and neither will be able to stop the inevitable hard times that are coming!

she's an idiot that has been told to attack him on this

let's start with how dumb she is before we give anything out of her mouth any notion whatsoever

never mind the fact that she is a little late tot his party...and the horse she is beating is long since dead...

but you can't blame morons when they beat dead horses...

it's kind of expected...when they are losing on every issue that counts.

well thinking, she's counting on americans a) not thinking, and b) being completely unable to parse a sentence. that winning smile and great legs are all she really needs, right?

Defend this:

John McCain sat on the board of a very right-wing organization, it was the U.S. Council for World Freedom, it was chaired by a guy named John Singlaub, who wound up involved in the Iran contra scandal. It was an ultra conservative, right-wing group. The Anti-Defamation League, in 1981 when McCain was on the board, said this about this organization. It was affiliated with the World Anti-Communist League – the parent organization – which ADL said “has increasingly become a gathering place, a forum, a point of contact for extremists, racists and anti-Semites.”

Palin's defense of her words/actions reminds me of her interview When Couric asked her what newspapers she read. Everything the McCain campaign is attempting to exploit already happened with the Clinton campaign bringing it up - guess those papers weren't placed in front of her.

Palin and soon McCain is an utter embarassment.

HEY IF PALIN IS NOW "SMART AND CONFIDENT" THEN WHY ISN'T SHE APPEARING ON THE SUNDAY SHOWS TODAY??

Gee I don't think Sarah Palin is on ANY of the Sunday News shows today. Also since the debate I haven't seen a press conference either...

I think I know why, because she is the same DOLT we saw on Katie Couric last week, that's why!!

You can't hide her from the press forever McCain, we the American people will notice!!

HEY, TINA FEY NAILED HER DEBATE PERFORMANCE ON SNL LAST NIGHT, IT WAS GREAT!!

Is already close to a MILLION VIEWS!

Biden Mangles Constitution

The only authority the vice president has from the legislative standpoint is the vote, only when there is a tie vote. He has no authority relative to the Congress. The idea he's part of the Legislative Branch is a bizarre notion invented by Cheney to aggrandize the power of a unitary executive and look where it has gotten us. It has been very dangerous.

For a man of Biden's experience, this is a surprising series of misstatements. First of all, he gets wrong one of the most basic facts about the Constitution: Article 1 establishes the legislative branch, not, as Biden said, the executive branch. This is not exactly an obscure fact; my 17-year-old daughter pointed it out at the time.

Second, it simply isn't true that the Constitution treats the Vice President only as a member of the executive branch. The Vice President is mentioned in Article II as part of the executive branch, but he is also given legislative powers by Section 3 of Article 1, which establishes the Senate:

The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided.

==why don't we dicuss Palin and her husband's ties to the violent Anti-American Alaska Independance Party that Palin spoke at last year????==

And, at the same time, let's discuss Rezkobama's vote for a bill that its author admits would have let Hawaii break from the Union.

Palin's charge that Obama pals around with terrorists is as absurd as Palin's sleeping with a secessionist (her husband) is true.

"The comments are about an association that has been known but hasn't been talked about..."

Even though Palin is lying (it's been talked about ad nauseum), it's smart for the campaign to have her put it out there cause the media will give it air-time, knowing it's incendiary, and therefore "news."

If a semi-well known individual were to say that McCain took it up the backside from Todd while begging to be called "yankee flyboy" the media'd cover it, too, knowing it was false, but good for ratings.

==The only authority the vice president has from the legislative standpoint is the vote, only when there is a tie vote. He has no authority relative to the Congress. ==

Who says? He's president of the Senate. What is a president's authority? The Constitution doesn't limit this authority.

Obama did hang out with Ayers, served on a left-wing board and with Ayers diverted grants that were supposed to go to schools into their own pockets.

Watch Hannity's America tonight, he'll go over all of the Chosen One's left-wing associates. Does Obama have any friends that are centrists?

Palin's state was seen as racist? THe only racist we have seen in this election is Rev. Wright. He is certifiably against American and Americans - we have the tapes.

When Obama quit wearing his American flag pin people questioned that - I think overly questioned it. When you follow that with his claim that he did not know that Rev. Wright is racist (against Americans) that begins to add up as evidence. Ayers had a fund raiser for Obama in Ayer's home. That collection of facts points to some one who does not hold America and Americans in a positive light.

Obama's wife did not help when she said that for the first time in her life she was proud of America when Barak was warmly accepted by middle America. Further his disparaging remarks about middle America and religion further add to the evidence that he does not have a respect for America that one would hope for.

We should move past these things to the issues. Will these candidates be good for America.

As a liberal from the 70s and 80s I think we did the wrong thing in Vietnam. Two million people died when we pulled out too quickly. That did result in the invigoration of America as we had a flood of Vietnamese boat people after that - the best of people.
Is there an analogy with America and Iraq. I think so.

==Palin's charge that Obama pals around with terrorists is as absurd...==

Ayers was a domestic terrorist. You do the math. We already have.

==... as Palin's sleeping with a secessionist (her husband) is true.==

Michele Obama is also sleeping with a secessionist, her husband, who voted for a bill whose author admits that Haawii could have used it to secede.
