    Here's an example of how low the Libtards will go to smear Palin:

    Doesn't look like the McCain/Pailin "bounce" was temporary. Polls have been solid 2+ points for the last week. All the mud being thrown at Palin don't seem to be sticking, I tink it is backfiring in fact. The meaner the libs get, the more the GOP soldifies it lead.

    Amazing the hatred displayed by the libs on this thread, obviously seeing the election slip away is increasing the irrationalibility of the lefties.

    'Whacked' is rather charitable of you. Others might use more descriptive terms! BTW, he put me on ignore...heh...the pussy!

    On topic:

    "Unless Obama's team can get a handle on this self-induced and paranoid madness, they risk turning a small, natural, and probably temporary 2-3 point bump—quite normal in such a tight see-saw race—into a permanent and insurmountable 5-6 point McCain lead, as the quiet swing voters shrug and say to themselves, "Hmmm, liked that Obama, but if he and his supporters panic and go wild and vicious like this, what in the world would they do when elected?"

    RC does seem to be obsessed with hatred (Of what exactly seems to be a moving target). He hates me for some reason, and he hates "conservatives" and GOPs and members of the military, and members of academia, and writers, and economists, and, well others.

    He obviously hates Sarah Palin. Why? Who knows? Who can understand a mind filled with hatred of his "enemies?"

    Anyway, Sarah seems to remain popular and the vile spewing of the libs is not working. Can Obama regroup? He has more or less bet the farm on two main themes. "Change" and McCain is a Bush clone. Neither theme seems to be winning over independents so far. Can Obama change course or is he forced to keep trying to sell this same bunch of BS?

    Seems to be some question as to what exactly the "Bush Docterine" actually means:
    washingtonpost.com

    The New York Times got it wrong. And Charlie Gibson got it wrong.

    There is no single meaning of the Bush doctrine. In fact, there have been four distinct meanings, each one succeeding another over the eight years of this administration -- and the one Charlie Gibson cited is not the one in common usage today. It is utterly different.
    If I were in any public foreign policy debate today, and my adversary were to raise the Bush doctrine, both I and the audience would assume -- unless my interlocutor annotated the reference otherwise -- that he was speaking about the grandly proclaimed (and widely attacked) freedom agenda of the Bush administration.

    Not the Gibson doctrine of preemption.

    Not the "with us or against us" no-neutrality-is-permitted policy of the immediate post-9/11 days.

    Not the unilateralism that characterized the pre-9/11 first year of the Bush administration.
    I tend to agree that Palin was caught off with that question, but I think she handled the situation rather well.

    well he presented very vaguely and non specific....intentionally i might add as it appeared to me.. I think she did ok too.. the more i see obama being interviewed or making speeches the more I see him searching for the RIGHT answer instead of his real feelings.. to me he always seems like he is placating everyone and intentionally avoiding positioning himself in any particular camp..

    I wish they would drop this palin issue and tell us how he is going to handle the issues at hand when he's in office, maybe she is as good a distraction for them as attention for the reps and that's why it is still so close because he doesn't have to address the real issues directly either while they keep on about this nomination..he's not presenting any solutions...

    Depends on who the parents are. As long as kids know they are truly loved, they get by. Spending time on their own makes them stronger, too. Socialist parents who think they can take time off work coz their kids are depressed or have a cold and "nanny" isn't good enough do injustice to their coworkers and to their kids. Stand on your own two feet.

    He appears to hate anyone who opposes his views. Unable to debate without attacking emotional/personal issues. Mommy's boy.

    ^ True. After ignoring barrages of personal attacks, fellow posters told me to hit back. Now will once again ignore the leftie simpletons.

    Seems that way. Did a little bit more reading on her (oh ok, so I read her Wiki article!). She's anti-abortion, Christian, opposed to gay marriage (but professes to having 'good gay friends'), increased taxes to oil Co's but is also for opening up further drilling fields in Alaska. And she probably pronounces Iraq with a "k"; sure sign of a Republican.

    So all in all a pretty safe choice policy wise then.
    My G_D! She actually invokes a Supreme Architect of the Universe! Shame on her! BTW, I-Rak is prounced with a "K"

    Also troubling to the Libtards is the fact Palin is an Outdoors Woman! Kills and eats her own food! Forsooth!

    Sarah 'the tyrant' Palin

    Troopergate certainly does not paint a flattering portrait of Sarah, if the implication is true. The NY Times has unearthed some other examples, that indicate a person who likes to surround herself with cronies, and steamrolls those who stand in her way. Which makes her no different to the infamous neo-con tail of the Republican party.

    "Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin is a tyrannical woman who pursues vendettas and fires people who cross her, The New York Times said....

    It has also been disclosed the Congress in Alaska is looking into claims she fired a senior state employee because he refused to dismiss her brother-in-law, who had separated from her sister.

    This was not an isolated case, according to the newspaper, which said Palin surrounded herself with friends who did what they were told.

    It said Governor Palin hired at least five schoolmates for official positions at salaries that far exceeded their private sector wages.

    One of these, a former real estate agent, was made director of the State Division of Agriculture after citing her childhood love of cows as a qualification for the job.
    In another incident, one of Palin's assistants telephoned a critical blogger and told her to stop her activities. "You should be ashamed," the aide was quoted by the Times as saying.

    The report also quoted a builder in the town of Wasilla, where Palin served as mayor, who said he complained to her when the city lawyer put a stop-work order on his housing project.

    The mayor responded by engineering the lawyer's firing, the builder told the newspaper.

    In another case, Palin fired a former high school classmate after learning he had fallen in love with another longtime friend.

    The report also claimed Palin and her top aides sometimes used personal email accounts for state business in a bid to see whether this would allow them to circumvent court orders seeking public records."

    Sarah 'the tyrant' Palin - US Election - smh.com.au


    The case against Sarah Palin seems to come down to three credible strands :-

    Her juniority and inexperience- from small town mayor to VP candidate in 3 years.
    Her uncompromising evangelical faith, and the personality traits that could imply.
    Cronyism, and dubious ethical (or illegal) treatment of her self proclaimed enemies.

    I am wondering if in reality Palin has been done any favours by this meteoric rise. As a small state Governor with ambitions to make the leap into Federal politics, she could weather some scandals such as Troopergate over time- just like Bush and his former alcoholism and drug taking, and Kennedy and Chippaquadick. As potential VP to an octagenerian, she can receive no such latitude. Even her husband is obviously much more comfortable on a dog sled or oil rig than the Washington cocktail circuit. International high politics is a rarefied world- as a senior representative for her country, it is unlikely she will receive much respect there. Lets face it, in Diplomatic circles she is a country bumpkin.

    Yet the US public is being asked to thrust Palin into a position where she might have to go head to head with a Putin, or the wiley Chinese. Deal with Chavez' outbursts- but still keep the oil flowing. And so on.

    It is one helluva Big Ask.

    Yes, much like BO -- the only difference is, she's in the right-hand seat.

    I disagree there Tex- with his academic credentials, silky tongue and urbane mannerisms I think Obama would slide in there as smoothly as could be.

    In truth, the same effete mannerisms that make an element of the Heartland distrust him.

    ^ Snake oil sales people have a very limited window of opportunity. Folks realise pretty quick that they were took. That's how they see Obama now: Slick talker with a phony programme who will take their tax money and give them nada.

    BO knows he's over his head, fortunately most of the yanks are starting to see it that way. I wouldn't be surprised if McCain wins by a large margin.
