All in line with acceptable behavior for Alaskan politicians it seems.

Disagree. May well be a perfect Republican VP. Spiro Agnew comes to mind!

Well, it was Spiro T. Agnew who coined: "Nattering Nabobs of Negativism" which ain't far off the mark if you know what I mean?

Obama's 30-minute Truman Show special makes him look worse than Palin, IMO. America's saviour and utopia coming! I think he got the script from Kim Jong Il.

Umm, that's not possible . . . but at least you finally admit that Palin is a shocker

You really have ZERO clue, don't you. Zero, like your pal Palin . . . Where do you get this tripe from . . . opened up a magazine you found outside your bedsit and read a headline?

Do you have a link to your statement? How about three verifiable sources? Duuuuuuuuh . . .

No wonder the reference is always to leftist intellectuals . . . while anti-intellectualism is reserved for the likes of you and your ilk

Kim Jong-Il . . .

That whole show was Disneyland.
Come to me all who are sick, poor, jobless, and in need of hope (even if you overspent, are a lazy git, ate your way to 300lbs and need diabetic care, and want a free handout) and I will save you if you vote for me!
Beware the offer of utopia.

Please quote the relevant passages that refer to your, usual, childish and unverifiable rants.

Oh, hang on -
it's a s close to the truth as your 'unionised blue-collar workers are bleeding the country dry' crap . . . .

Oh, please, hatter, if you believed the crap BO expounded in that teary-eyed show, you are truly pathetic. I particulary laughed at the mom with all the kids driving the big SUV and showing the empty shelves in her big fridge where *sob* the kids only get so many snacks per week now and when they are gone, well *sob* you have to learn to economise.
The sad sob story about BO's mom and getting up at 4:30am to go through his studies were also heart wrenching. *sob* That's it, get the WHITE mom photos in there. See, honey, his mom was white.
That whole show was for uneducated, low-income folks who had to wait to watch the World Series (ya! the Phillies won). Brilliant PR campaign. Nothing more.
As for the blue-collar unions. Sorry, I did forget about that thread. I stand by my claim tho. Sure, union membership has gone down. Why? Companies shifted plants overseas to save costs. You don't make money capitulating to employee demands when the market is changing.
For those US firms that stay based in the US, look what's happening. Here's Boeing. The machinists union has feked the company's 787 rollout with its strike, never mind the company's defense contracts. For money? No, those guys say they make lots of money. They are striking for job security. FO. What is that? Squeeze the company too hard and it will go tits up and you will definitely have NO job. Look at the auto, steel, mfg industries. And the people cry because the jobs go overseas. Ya, wake up. Help your company be more competitive instead of just doing the same dam job you started 30 years ago and now expect to make ten times more than the youngster doing the same dam job, just because you have "seniority".
Unions create a culture of us against them. Trash them.
And since you are so happy at the prospect of the US having a black prez, hatter, I would like to ask you about Australia. Any abos in parliament? Can you tell me why it's OK that Oz companies raped East Timor?

right now, there is little more boring than the hat and jet slugfest.

Ant and Keda is running a close second but this is just silly and there's no sign of it ending.

where's the issues mods?

Now that caught my eye. What are you more riled up about here Jet? The possibility of a Democrat as the president - or a black man as president?

I think it's the nightmare scenario for Jet.

Do they have black people in Canada?

I don't know why you picked the Sarah Palin thread to share your opinion of BO's 30 minute infomercial Jet, but your attitude, whilst predictable, does not seem to be matched by most Americans :-

An infomercial on behalf of Mr. Obama was a smashing ratings success on Wednesday night, proving to be more popular than even the final game of the World Series — and last season’s finale of “American Idol.” The audience for Mr. Obama’s program far exceeded the expectations of television executives — and many political pundits who questioned whether Mr. Obama was engaging in overkill in buying a half hour on so many networks....

During a season where television hits are hard to find, one NBC executive suggested jokingly Wednesday that Mr. Obama might be invited back to fill the 8 p.m. Wednesday time slot on a regular basis.

I know you're joking, but the State of the Union address is done in January.

Along with his inauguration speech, I'm sure Obama is already writing his first state of the union address. It may be the first a President has used the term FUBAR in a speech.

Well, she says that she has many black friends . . . they could all be in the US of course . . . her statement sounds quite ugly, though. Surprise, surprise, surprise

I didn't see the infomercial but I read headlines and reviews from a bunch of newspapers this morning and they all think it was a success, some even call it genius.

Guess they are all part of the leftist-dominated worldwide press?

I never base my opinions on someone else's interpretations. I'm sure the infomercial is on youtube. Watch it for yourself.

^ I actually watched it, unusual for me. What can I say- slick, empathetic, professional, rational, feel good- kinda like Obama himself. Obama is telegenic in a way McCain can never be, so he might as well use it.

Removing politics from the equation, I think you've really got to give Obamas campaign kudos for it's sheer professionalism, comprehensiveness, and willingness to try new things. Apart from the 30 minute infomercial, he's also advertised on video/computer games- another first, and of course his 'Fight the smears' website. Then theres the superb ground up organisation of the Obama party machine- which clearly could not have just happened overnight. Kudos.

^ True. Very pro campaign and his prettyboy looks don't hurt. But, as a voter, I'd be looking for qualities of leadership -- who gives a toss if BO makes tunafish sannies for his fam (featured on 60 Minutes). I'd want the person that can make immediate decisions in a crisis and lead the country back to prosperity. Making a tuna sannie is not indicative of that. I also wonder why he never put any vignettes of poor black/Hispanic ghetto folks in his infomercial. Alienate the white voters?
