"What does Sarah Palin remind you of?"

After watching the ABC interview with her & "Charlie", she reminds me of a politican that doesn't know enough to hide her lies. She reminds me of a liar that has no remorse in telling you face to face a stright up bold faced out right lie, no covering it up with her. She'll continue to lie even when shown & confronted that it's a lie. She'll make a fine republican VP. No change here!

It's always good to look into someone's background and see from where or what they came from. I have no doubt whatsoever Sarah could provide several generations of law abiding Americans who made this country what it is today.

Goes to show no amount of money or school fees can buy class, breeding or heritage. Silk purse and sows ear are words that come to mind.

I can't find the wikipedia article that I was looking at earlier in the evening, or it has been changed--it's probably been edited--that's happened to me before. But I found this, though the wikipedia article had the tuition being much higher.

                   It seems to me like Michelle Obama announced in public that she spent $10,000.00 a month on tuition for her daughters a while back, but I don't recall the occasion.

                   And there is nothing racist or sickening about any of my comments. They are honest observations. Check the record.

                     I'd have to go back to find the writer of this, and don't have time. Google it. I can understand the frustration of Obama supporters who thought they had the election in the bag, and now see it slipping away. But if you continue to assault me, I'll go back and find the source.

    "So it is with huge grief-filled disappointment that I discovered that the Obamas send their children to the University of Chicago Laboratory School (by 5th grade, tuition equals $20,286 a year). The school's Web site quotes all that ridiculous John Dewey nonsense about developing character while, of course, isolating your children from the poor. A pox on them and, while we're at it, a pox on John Dewey! I'm sick to death of those inspirational Dewey quotes littering the Web sites of $20,000-plus-a-year private schools, all those gentle duo-tone-photographed murmurings about "building critical thinking and fostering democratic citizenship" in their cherished students, living large on their $20,000-a-year island."


                   This is what I'm left with. I can't help but think MoveOn.org is behind it.

Rig, I am putting you on notice, now, that I, for one, have had it with your sickening racist comments regarding Barack and Michelle Obama. I keep trying to reconcile the "you" I know who cares, behind the scenes, from the PMs we've exchanged, but I don't see it out here. Your racism is not welcome here, as far as I am concerned.

For the record, my grandsons are like Obama, their mother is white, their father is Antiguan. I hope they never run into someone like you.

Sarah Palin is not who she seems. She is lying when she talks about what she did in Alaska. She is a pro-secessionist for Alaska. Her preacher friend is worse than Reverend Wright when he talked of his hatred for the US government. That didn't make the corporate news. She did nothing in regard to the National Guard. She is a phony here. She is the Pork Queen and lied about the Bridge to Nowhere and the sale of her plane. Left Wasilla 22 mill in debt. She speaks in tongues.

Ron, unfortunately, you are the one who is wrong here. People do not care about the issues. This has been borne out in the last two elections. Bush was the "beer buddy". People talked "family values" and image and nothing of substance regarding issues.

Obama needs to say to McSame, "You are a yes-man for Bush." "McCain is no friend of the working man". "McCain is not your friend". "McCain is tied in with lobbyists." "McCain is not telling the truth about Obama's so-called sex-ed." "McCain will have a 100 year war. That's all he knows." "McCain is old in his thinking.
Can't use a computer. Doesn't know the difference between Shi'a and Sunni. Thinks Czechoslavkia still exists. Doesn't know the borders of Afghanistan and Iraq. His judgement is impaired and that's why he selected Palin". "McCain admits he knows nothing about economics." "McCain has Rove who ignores Congress subpoenas working for him."

Issues, shcmissues.

GfS's choice of "Hitlary" is a deliberate combining of the names "Hitler" and "Hillary", Poppa Gator. Seems to me that if you want to do that, then "Hitlary" works far better than "Hitlery" would, since the suffix "ary" links better and more obviously to Hillary than the suffix "ery" does. This way both names get more or less equal coverage, which is what it's all about when you're combing two existing names into a new word.

Not that it really matters...but I can't figure why you would criticize GfS's choice of the acronym in this case. It works.

Y'all need to stop second guessing, and falling for the spin meister's magic. Biden was then, and is now, the best choice for VP. Clinton would not have been the smarter choice, and that is why she was not in contention. She might have made it a different race, but the Presidency would have been intolerable. Obama could have chosen her for political reasons (as McCain has done), but he would have had to deal with not one, but two co-Presidents. That simply is not tolerable, and the Repub's would have used exactly that in the campaign, painting him as not his own person.

Palin was a smart move POLITICALLY, that will eventually fade. She is still in her honeymoon period, although you have seen the beginnings of that unraveling as more is known about her record, and in the wake of the Gibson interview. Make no mistake, she will make the race close, but in the end I refuse to believe that American women make their choices solely on the basis of the genitalia of the candidate. Certainly they will find a kinship with a working Mom, but we don't elect on that basis. We elect on the basis of positions that will affect OUR ability to raise children and provide them with opportunity. I have a great deal of faith in the ability of the electorate to wade through the chaff and get to the grain.

And don't forget that ultimately we are voting for either Obama or McCain, not Obama or Palin.

So do the old Mick a favor and layoff with this attitude that somehow the selection of this right wing idealogue is going to break the Dems and cause them to lose. I don't believe that will be the case at all.

Not likely. Some of us remember the ONE time a VP candidate was replaced after being nominated; Sentaor Thomas Eagleton of Missouri was to be George McGovern's running mate in '72 before it was revealed he had once undergone some kind of psychiatric treatment. Just the first of many things to go wrong with that campaign.

Right, Poppa, Oblabbo, won't replace him, for it would make him look more inexperienced than he is...the masquerade, will be 'Biden steps down'

By the way: Was spelling "Hillary" as "HITLARy" just a typo, or a Freudian slip?

Actually, I think that if either Veep candidiate is going to be replaced, it would much more likely be Ms Palin. Biden is a thoroughly known quantity, while his Republican counterpart is a complete unknown about whom who-knows-what might be dug up and revealed. Also, once her handlers actually allow her to be questioned, she just might blow it big-time.

Brainy young minority Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal (an Indian-American, which is not the same thing as an American Indian) would be the obvious next choice, and probably would have been a better initial choice. We don't know for sure that he was explicitly asked to join the ticket, but he met with McCain several times before the convention and publically announced that he would not accept nomination as the VP candidate, but would prefer to concentrate of his (new) governership.

While the opening days of the Republican convention were being disrupted by Hurricane Gustav, Jindal was on TV looking very cool and competant as head honcho of the evacuation process. Jindal is a convert to Catholicism, the old-school pro-life brand of Catholicism, and could well represent the future of the GOP.

"Layla" needs to stop posing. This is no GUEST that wandered in. "she" is an old troll playing a new role, IMO.

As to the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac mess, it is a major gaffe on her part that shows she is a lightweight on the knowledge end of the scale. You can bet that Joe Biden would never have made that gaffe. Nor would he have made the gaffe about the "under God" portion of the Pledge of Allegiance, as to "if it was good enough for the founding fathers....".

The best description of the bailout of Freddie and Fannie that I heard was, "we are privatizing profit and socializing losses".   It shows that this whole mess that started with that great communicator Reagan, is more about creating a new God to worship, that being capital. This isn't about unfettered markets and removing government interference in the lives of average folks. It is about shifting the burden of business loss to the average person, centralizing wealth in the hands of the privileged, and undoing over 100 years of laws designed to protect average folks from the tyranny of centralized capital. Imagine the old "blackball" system computerized.

Change? Hell no. I want the good old days where we protected workers and families from the excesses of those whose only goal is the enhancing of the wealth of the privileged few.

However, I stand firm in my opinion that ALL successful politicians use and create a personna in order to successfully push their ideas. Kucinich is no exception.   

As I said earlier, Americans vote on the issues. The issues, and solutions are delivered by politicians. Politicians need to reach people and you cannot do that if you do not have communication skills and work with tools of a campaign.
