That's not gonna cut it. There's always someone trying to ban something else someone else likes. Like Palin trying to get librarians to ban books when she was mayor: http://www.google.com/search?q=palin%20banning%20books

This only matters when 1) It actually happens or 2) You support someone who does this.

#2 = Hypocrisy if you do, bro.

With all due respect , the ignorant apologetic support for the tax and spend Washington bureaucracy here makes me laugh.

Or put another way, you all seem to be in a tizzy because McCain threw a curve ball that none of you anticipated and don't have a clue on how to deal with.

Well, welcome your worst nightmare.

Yes, this was supposed to be election the Democrats "couldn't" lose. Oprah has anointed Obama, Bush is unpopular and it's all in the can. Let's go have a beer.

But noooooo....suddenly,the opposition doesn't go by the anticipated beaten path playbook (ah, how quickly people forget McCain is a military strategist). Instead, they nominate an outsider - who just happens to be an attractive, articulate reformer who makes Obama look dull and Biden beyond dull (want to argue that? Chew on this and then forget even trying: http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/election_20082/2008_presidential_election/palin_power_fresh_face_now_more_popular_than_obama_mccain).

And for your sake I hope you don't all keep making the stupid mistake of underestimating the capabilities of this tough woman in an election race. The landscape of Alaska is littered with the corpses of people who did. And Biden (if he lasts, there are already serious rumors Obama is thinking of dropping him) is next.

And as for all the Daily Kos crap some of you are posting (yawn), please, get current. CBS and CNN have already tried to leverage that stuff and are getting nowhere. So your little investigative sandobx here is to put it politely a meaningless joke.

Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in
America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the
country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along,
whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist
dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the
leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and
denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the
same in any country. - Hermann Goring

Your forgetting that Palin has a lot of skeletons in her closet. America is going to learn a lot about her in the next two months.

Not to mention, once the pizazz wears off and her policies actually click in the brains of voters, she is going to lose a lot of support.

I agree. This picking on her because her daughter is pregnant is stupid.

I don't think her daughter's actions should invalid anything she believes in. I think her beliefs (which match the beliefs of many) should be brought up for the legitimate discussion and debate they deserve. Anything less insults my intelligence.

Just because her daughter is doing things a bit backwards doesn't mean that going to school, avoiding sex, getting married THEN having kids isn't still the best order to do things to have the best chances in life.

There are plenty of pregnant teens on both the abstinence AND sex education sides of this fence. One teen does not make a case, no matter who's kid it is.

It's one thing to say one thing and turn around and do something different - like John Edwards always tossing out how great his marriage is (they go to the same Mcdonalds they met at every year, bring the TV cameras!) then having an affair or THE REVEREND Jesse Jackson or gay-bathroom-lovin-gay-bashin' Larry Craig or ......... but it's another to make mistakes and learn from them.

How many of us have had to learn things the "hard way"? I'm guessing 100% of us, give or take 0%.

Tax and spend is by far preferable to Cutting taxes in a time of war and cutting taxes heaviest on the people that can afford to pay them.

You know why no other country or empire has ever once cut taxes in a time of war... EVER in recorded human history? It's a monumentally stupid idea.

First: Don't count your chickens before they hatch. GHW Bush did, and he was a one-termer.
Second: McCain has voted along side Bush proposals something on the order of 95% of the time. That's not change... it's status quo. If you want to keep doing what doesn't work: Vote Republican.
Third: Oprah isn't God, Obama edged out Clinton.
Fourth: Guess what, if you want to talk about voting records, McCain is going to be seen as a party-liner. Not a lot else..
Finally: Just because Palin lacks a Y chromosome doesn't mean that she's going to win an election for McCain. Especially when she's not exactly a saint.

You know. I'll put it this way: Rasmussen Reports seems to absolutely LOVE Bill Frist. 'Nuff said.

Next time, try using a link from a non-partisan source.

I used Fact Check.org just above (which BTW has no ties to either party, and is non-profit) and your idea of Palin being the X-factor (or is it a non-Y factor... anyhow) went up in smoke in one article.

Tough woman? Please. I give her credit for being governor of the 47th most populace state (I live in a city that has roughly 1.5 times that number of people, and a smaller city council than Alaska's government), but if the state senate and congress was in session for longer than 30 days a year, it might have given her a little more credibility.

Hell, if you want to talk about it frankly, she got a total of about 1500 votes TOTAL over 2 terms as a mayor. Small town, small state.

Plus you really can't pressure to ban books without evoking that whole despot thing: call me crazy.

You want current?

http://www.factcheck.org/just-the-facts/the_partys_over.html <-- Posted today, September 5th. If you go to 3:10, it debunks Palin's statements about saying "no thanks to a bridge to nowhere," when she actually supported the project, got money from Washington to fund the project, and then diverted it elsewhere. Good going!

Kids having kids is inappropriate no question about it.
The problem here is, that her daughter's action is now being considered as acceptable and not a "problem." Lack of parenting on Palin's part? Or daughter not being the brightest light bulb? Either way it is not a positive image for teens to embrace.

Simply put I think people tend to put to much of their faith, hope, trust and reliance in the government to provide for them. Many seem to be looking to the government to provide health care, baby bonds, welfare...you name it they think it is the governments job to provide it. We all know how much coruption, special intrest, earmarks, and wastefull spending there is within the government. I don't think we should give them more of our money in return for things politicians promise. Since when can we trust them? They have bankrupted social security! We have a huge deficit and our dollar is not worth what it should be. Some say because the war, I personally think it is more due to wasteful spending but that is another debate for another day.

For me there is also the military side of it. I have too many family members to list in the military

It sums up my feelings about what our government was founded on.

If anyone wants to discuss this further that's fine PM me or we can start another thread. I want to kep this one on topic.





FORGET GIRLS GONE WILD WE HAVE GOVERNMENT SPENDING GONE WILD!

Just because her daughter is doing things a bit backwards doesn't mean that going to school, avoiding sex, getting married THEN having kids isn't still the best order to do things to have the best chances in life.
There are plenty of pregnant teens on both the abstinence AND sex education sides of this fence. One teen does not make a case, no matter who's kid it is.


Kids having kids is inappropriate no question about it.
The problem here is, that her daughter's action is now being considered as acceptable and not a "problem." Lack of parenting on Palin's part? Or daughter not being the brightest light bulb? Either way it is not a positive image for teens to embrace.


How is anyone saying it is acceptable? You must be kidding. It seems to be the most brought up issue against Sarah Palin and it is a choice Sarah did not even make. As I stated before we all have made choices our parents would not condone! Now unlesss you are going to tell us you NEVER had pre-maritial sex then shut up and get off your high horse.


Remove your broom stick off your ass there buddy. I quoted "Agustin"... so relax.

Just from my local paper here and some answers here (ie quoted one) there seems to be strong downplay on Palin's daughter actions. And if this stupid trend continues, many (especially in the religious category group) MAY classify this as a norm. Remember there are many groups that don't teach or practice with contraceptives

Now your comment of

Sorry, but defending lack of education (mother) or irresponsibility (daughter) is ludicrous. Either way it is sending the wrong message to teens. As for me riding on my high horse... I was smart and responsible enough wrap it up.... hence no kids


THE POLITICALLY INCORRECT ONE.
