HAHAHAHA Nah - I'm voting for all non incumbents - I no longer care who is qualified or not - they are all liars - ALL OF THEM. In the event of two non incumbents... I'm flipping a coin. Srsly - I'm that fed up.

I tried to watch, but my slap reflex started to kick in...

I seriously want to slap the snot out of some people. I like how they make their assertions with that smug look like they think they're really smart and in the know.

Grrrrrr

No different than the bloggers and posters on Daily Koz or Huffington Post. Who cares. It is politics.

Very different.

Though I don't read Huffington Post, so I might have missed it.

So much ignorance, so little time.

The bartender at my club told me to stay on the OTHER side of the bar from my old man buddies who had gotten on politics. He was laughing "Shawnee...don't even go over there...YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED" because he knows how fired up I get.

No different.


Palin did not cut funding for special needs education in Alaska by 62 percent. She didn’t cut it at all. In fact, she increased funding and signed a bill that will triple per-pupil funding over three years for special needs students with high-cost requirements.
She did not demand that books be banned from the Wasilla library. Some of the books on a widely circulated list were not even in print at the time. The librarian has said Palin asked a "What if?" question, but the librarian continued in her job through most of Palin's first term.

She was never a member of the Alaskan Independence Party, a group that wants Alaskans to vote on whether they wish to secede from the United States. She’s been registered as a Republican since May 1982.


Palin never endorsed or supported Pat Buchanan for president. She once wore a Buchanan button as a "courtesy" when he visited Wasilla, but shortly afterward she was appointed to co-chair of the campaign of Steve Forbes in the state.


Palin has not pushed for teaching creationism in Alaska's schools. She has said that students should be allowed to "debate both sides" of the evolution question, but she also said creationism "doesn't have to be part of the curriculum."

Is that a real photo of Sarah Palin holding a rifle and wearing a bikini? No.

Did Sarah Palin make rape victims pay for their own rape kits? No.

Is Palin's child with Downs Syndrome not her child but the child of her daughter? No.

The very fact the a VP candidate has ever asked once, much less three times whether is was possible to ban books "if the need arose", would be enough to turn me off of a candidate.

So Merc, are you saying that this strategy of inspiring full-blown and fully-expressed displays of hate and anger ( which is what Sarah's rallies are doing) is acceptable to you?

God I hope not.

No, what I have stated is that both sides do it and it has become mainstream political manuvering. As well as the idea that Obama or McCain can promise things to the electorate that they can't deliver.
