A few days back, in response to Jimmie at Sundries Shack and Stacy McCain of the Washington Times, I suggested that, from a strategic standpoint, the McCain campaign might have been waiting to use Sarah Palin as the key attack dog — the upshot being that she draws more elitist fire (jokes about breeder hicks seem to play poorly in Peoria), that the Obama campaign and their media arm concentrates their attentions on her, and that McCain gets to look “Presidential” by remaining above the fray.
At the time, this strategem seemed to some far-fetched, I suppose because they didn’t think Palin’s attacks would carry much weight given her unpreparedness for office.
But it seems her performance in the VP debate has restored both confidence in her abilities and the public’s faith in her competence — which allows her to go on the offensive thusly:
Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is accusing Democrat Barack Obama of “palling around with terrorists” for his association with a former 1960s radical.Palin was referring to Bill Ayers, one of the founders of the group the Weather Underground. The group took credit for bombings, including nonfatal explosions at the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol four decades ago.
In remarks to GOP donors in Englewood, Colo., on Saturday, Palin said Obama seems to see the U.S. as being so imperfect that, in her words, “he’s palling around with terrorists who would target their own country.”
Obama served on a charity board with Ayers in Chicago and has denounced his past activities.
Leaving aside the mitigation of the connection between Obama and Ayers as it is tacked onto the end of the story — and the mitigation of Ayers’ own terrorism (“nonfatal”; of course, Ms Dohrne practically threw a party for the Manson family, but we’ll let that slide, as well) — I suspect that, with Palin beginning to make public mentions, the press will be forced to cover the story (in such a way, as my last post indicates, that covers for Obama, as well).
Still, my guess is there are many voters who are only now really starting to pay attention to the election, and — unlike those of us in the blogosphere who have already decided how much importance to grant to Obama’s past and present associations — those voters will be finding out about some of these connections for the first time.
Everything the VP candidate says is news. So she can literally push these potential scandals into the news cycle. And wouldn’t that be gratifying, having herself weathered the storm of tanning beds and teenage daughters…
(h/t Spies, who has more over at the Pub, including a link to the “unspun” version of Palin’s remarks)
****
update: CNN’s take. Most of our concern trolls seem to be coming from there.
Kurtz responds:
A CNN article on Sarah Palin’s criticism of Barack Obama’s relationship to unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers actually cites National Review as one of the publications supposedly debunking Palin’s point. How CNN can cite National Review this way is a mystery to me. Maybe we’ll have to set up an NR “truth squad.”I was very briefly on CNN immediately after the McCain campaign called for me to be given access to UIC library. A CNN reporter interviewed me, and almost every question was an attempt to challenge the significance of the Obama-Ayers link. I answered every query in detail. When the report finally aired, my points about the significance of the Obama-Ayers connection were cut. And now, CNN is actually claiming NR as an ally in its effort to undercut Palin. Incredible.
Well, in fairness, Rich Brookhiser and a few others have certainly helped them along in that regard, Stanley.

Comment by sashal on 10/4 @ 2:35 pm #
First, we know that Obama is not tied to William Ayers in any meaningful way. I know Palin struggles to keep up with current events, but her attacks are obviously and demonstrably wrong.
Second, the McCain campaign is surprisingly transparent in its desperation. Faced with daunting challenges here and abroad, McCain, Palin, and their team of Bushies have decided they’d lose if voters have issues and substance on their minds. They’re left with lies, personal attacks, and bogus smears. It’s surprisingly pathetic.
Third, does Palin really want to play the guilt-by-association game? Isn’t she married to someone who joined a fringe political party that wants to secede from the United States? Didn’t she attend a church where a literal witchdoctor laid hands on her?
The truth is, running for national office in a time of war and crisis is difficult. It takes real courage, strength, and character to challenge voters to weigh the seriousness of the moment, and make a decision about our collective fate based on substance.
And therein lies the point about the McCain/Palin campaign: we’re dealing with a team that lacks courage, strength, and character. Running away from the issues, deceiving voters, cynically distracting the public are all signs of political cowardice.
The McCain campaign hit the bottom of the barrel a while ago, but they figured out a way to dig a hole in the barrel, fall through, and scrounge around underneath it.
McCain was given a choice: lose his honor or lose the election. He’s clearly made his decision, but if there’s any justice, he’s about to lose both.

From what I’ve seen, false and false. Which would mean, on its face, that Obama and Biden are dealing in the same desperate shlock that you accuse McCain and Palin of dealing in.
sashal, if you’re gonna try and make an argument, make an argument. Approaching this like some plaid-jacketed used car salesman using the “presumed close” approach is just too easy to poke holes in.

McCain’s VP is pure Cotton Candy and since not all of us are Joe SixPack frat boys who have a crush on her, we’re going with a team that is united and has substance – Obama and Biden. Palin has her own agenda she’s already making plans contrary to McCain but they sure are united focusing on tabloid lies and not the issues. That’s because they have no plans or solutions.

For those of you who are uneducated on the facts of history, the Weathermen members were the most violent radicals at the time and responsible for a lot of domestic bombing and violence in this country at that time. Old dogs do not change their spots and you are as naive and stupid as Obama if you blieve these are just innocent people getting a bad rap or that they have changed in their mission to destroy this country. There is a saying that it is better to appear dumb than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. When you speak in favor of these terrorists it just proves that you are stupid and uneducated. Anyone who lived during this time period knows the Weather men were the most radical and violent of all the groups, getting older has NOT changed these terrorist, they are just more sophisticated at manipulating the stupid and naive.

Palin accuses Obama – but what she doesn’t want you to know or see…..
This thing that we call a potential vice president (Palin) is a stone idiot! Making a fool of her must be what the McCain Insane wants her to do. I really feel sorry for her, and she is suppose to represent “women” instead she is a disgrace to all intelligent women in the world. She is now being the laughing stock of modern day politics. This is a product of a no agenda ticket in McCain and Palin, as they say desperate people do desperate things. Good try my dear… but would you really want anyone to see the video of you having a witch doctor at one of your churches compelling the demons to come out of you. Seriously, this actually happened. Check out the video showing her having these demons expelled.

Not to mention, this is the first time in history that a federal subpoena has been issued for a vice presidential candidate and their spouse, to which they both completely ignore and obviously do not respect the government. This from a woman who is running for a FEDERAL government position, so “Country Firstâ€Â, obviously not Gov. Palin, or maybe the laws just don’t apply to your and your husband. How convenient!

That would be Palin Rumor #15: Yes, her husband was once a member of the Alaskan Independence party. No, it doesn’t believe in secession. Yes, that was when the AIP won the Governor’s office with Wally Hickel. No, Alaska didn’t secede.
That one would be Palin Rumor #85: The truth is that she was blessed by a Christian preacher from Africa who had “hunted witches” in Kenya. Once. Three years ago. When he visited her church.

So the deperate comments from Palin begin. Her stupidity is going to cost McCain any chance of winning the election.
Palin shouldn’t throw stones. Does anyone remember that Palin associates with known members of a separatist organization that wanted Alaska to secede from the United states ?? In fact, she married one.
How could we trust her to uphold the US Constitution with that kind of background ??

The country is on ther verge of being broke, has a military that is stretched, the world has lost respect for the USA and you want to coninue on this path. Good luck!! China, India, EU prepare to dominate we will soon be saying …”..in the days when the USA was great!

Palin can spread all the lies she wants to, in the end Senators Obama and Biden will be entering the WhiteHouse come Jan 2009. If the Obama campaign wanted to get nasty against her they certainly could. The gounder of a group that Palin courted that professed hatred for the American government, cursed the damn flag.AIP founder Joe Volger made the comments in 1991. Palin has courted the group over the years. She also addressed their convention this year in fact. Her husband Todd was a memeber of the group from 1995-2002. So before she starts spounting off at the mouth she should take a look at herself. And she has a witch doctor chaser laying hands on her so she can get elected.

Don’t they hate America? Didn’t they curse the American Flag? Uhm… Oh not, don’t tell me you forgot. Instead explaining what are you guys going to do to fix the economy, or with the Health program, etc. Oh right, maybe that is not important. Maybe I asking unfair questions.

All these commentators sound like the same person with about 10 sock puppets.
Comment by Bob N on 10/4 @ 5:22 pm #
Go Sara Go!!!
Her are some other items about the ticket she must have seen in the Times:
Read on:
A. Ms. Palin does not appear to have made any trade missions since taking office, and former state officials said the state’s trade staff had been reduced under her watch.
Alaska has also sharply reduced its role in the Northern Forum, an association of state and regional governments from countries including Canada, Russia, Japan and China that works on common issues in northern regions like economic development, flooding and global warming.
B. Unbelievable. Sarah Palin finished her closing remarks by quoting Ronald Reagan:
It was Ronald Reagan who said that freedom is always just one generation away from extinction. We don’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream; we have to fight for it and protect it, and then hand it to them so that they shall do the same, or we’re going to find ourselves spending our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children about a time in America, back in the day, when men and women were free.
When did he say this? It was on a recording he made for Operation Coffeecup  a campaign organized by the American Medical Association to block the passage of Medicare. Doctors’ wives were supposed to organize coffee klatches for patients, where they would play the Reagan recording, which declared that Medicare would lead us to totalitarianism.
You couldn’t make this stuff up.
C. At Sarah Palin’s old church in Wasilla, they spoke in tongues. Maybe that’s where she picked it up.
D. This entire election season has been a long-running saga about the rise of women in American politics. On Thursday, it all went sour. The people boosting Palin’s triumph were not celebrating because she demonstrated that she is qualified to be president if something ever happened to John McCain. They were cheering her success in covering up her lack of knowledge about the things she would have to deal with if she wound up running the country.
E. But some Republican strategists who once worked for Mr. McCain say that the attacks and false statements have weakened the brand he built over the years as a straight talker who lamented the bitterness of modern politics. More than half of the respondents in a New York Times/CBS News poll said late last month that Mr. McCain spent more time attacking Mr. Obama than explaining what he would do as president
F. Now comes Ms. Palin, a smiling, bubbly vice-presidential candidate who travels in an alternate language universe. For Ms. Palin, such things as context, syntax and the proximity of answers to questions have no meaning. The Constitution does not state or imply any flexibility in the office of vice president. It gives the vice president no legislative responsibilities other than casting a tie-breaking vote in the Senate when needed and no executive powers at all. The vice president’s constitutional role is to be ready to serve if the president dies or becomes incapacitated.
Any president deserves a vice president who will be a sound adviser and trustworthy supporter. But the American people also deserve and need a vice president who understands and respects the balance of power  and the limits of his or her own power. That is fundamental to our democracy.
So far, Ms. Palin has it exactly, frighteningly wrong.

Look like sarah and mcclain is at it again. For someone who refuse to go back to alaska to court she really have some nerves. She is so low that she uses her family hoping that she can fool women to be on her side. She is not the only one who have a child with disabilty nor is she is the only to work and take of her children. There is a lot of single parents female as well as two parent families working everyday and they are not all sitting behind a desk trying to figure out what lie to tell next.
It is good that she can go to soccer games with her children she do have a help mate to help her out. If she had to do some real hard work in the real world then she can brag until then she need to keep that to herself. She probably is looking in the want ads for nanny so then she can really be free.
I am afraid that mcclain is going to lead sarah down a path that will be hard for her to get back on the right track. When she start playing dirty pool she must remember that it will come back on her and she will not have the right to cry like a baby. If you play with fire you will surely get burned.

When you live in a cheap cut glass house, you can’t even through pebbles at someone else. Palin and her thuggish husband are disobeying court ordered subpoenas in Alaska; yet, she wants to be the vice president of this Country. If you can’t obey the very law of the land you want to be the second top executive in, you should not have the audacity to try and throw dirt at someone else while you are LITERALLY breaking the law. It is a known fact that Palin, her husband, and other subordinates of the governor’s administration in Alaska have continuously ignored the subpoenas. Anyone else in America would be arrested if they did not obey the summons.
Everyone wants to say Obama is scary; you better watch the Alaskan-wolf-in-sheep’s-clothing-Palin. My intuition is pretty good; I know that I am correct regarding this woman. Sarah Palin is a great “pretender” who will be revealed prior to executive election day 2008.

McCain/Palin evidently see terrorists everywhere. Perhaps that explains why the McCain campaign sent Ed O’Callaghan, top NY prosecutor for terrorism, to Anchorage weeks ago to try to halt the Legislative investigation of abuse of power against our aw-shucks governor. Their attempt has now reached the AK Supreme Court who will rule Thursday. Their argument: the legislative branch cannot investigate the executive branch. (Seems they are unfamiliar with “balance of power†being fundamental to democracy.)
Sarah, your constituents are holding you accountable. Alaskans expect you to keep your promise of open and transparent government. We want PLAIN TRUTH, not PALIN TRUTH. Trying to circumvent Alaska’s Constitution with an anti-terrorist attack dog and a team of far-right Liberty Legal lawyers from Texas is a strong indication that you have something to hide. Time to come clean. Alaska, and America, deserve better.

I wonder, with McCain’s ties to the Keating 5, why on earth does he insist on launching a smear campaign? Surely, if he were rational (which I doubt), he would recognize the danger there. Obama is not going to stoop that low, but if he did, the Republican base would have to look very carefully at the last financial bailout and McCain’s role in it…including criminal charges.
No, Obama will win this election. The American people are not foolish enough to fall for the misguided, low-life diversions that the McCain/Palin participants seem to think will get them elected.

Sorry, but you’re underestimating the intelligence of the majority of Americans with articles like this. As soon as palin uttered her first”rehearsed” words, most of America had already decided who they were voting for. After the convention it became clearer to some independents or undecided voters that Palin is not ready, willing or able to run the country. 1/4 of US presidents have been “promoted” through the VP slot, so she was NOT the right choice of a 72 year old cancer survivor. Palin waited too late to try and speak to “America”. She’s got a few Reagan voters, but no one with more than a college degree and a good job…Someone currently under investigation for abuse of power and tries to play the Washington outsider has no place in the lower 48…No way, no McPalin..She should try and sell herself on eBay..The American public is too wise and there are too many important issues at stake for someone who talks about pitbulls, hockey moms and winks every 2-3 mins, to be sending or kids to Iraq. She couldn’t even tell K Couric which newspapers she reads or Supreme Court decisions she disagrees with…SORRY..not being that lemon..

When McCain agrees with a Bimbo and racist redneck like Palin saying garbage like that instead of talking about solutions on; economy, mortgage crises, healthcare, education and war it shows the end of the era for Republicans. As a white man leaving in the South I know that for red necks a bimbo like Palin with no brain is better than a color-man with Harvard education.

A “color-man� So does that mean Biden will be doing the play-by-play?
Now that sounds like a bi-partisan compromise I can get behind. McCain/Palin gets the White House, Obama/Biden take over Monday Night Football. Win/Win the way I see it.
And send Kornhiser to negotiate with Iran. A one-way ticket.

Insty has a link to this post by Stanley Kurtz:
A CNN article on Sarah Palin’s criticism of Barack Obama’s relationship to unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers actually cites National Review as one of the publications supposedly debunking Palin’s point. How CNN can cite National Review this way is a mystery to me. Maybe we’ll have to set up an NR “truth squad.”
I was very briefly on CNN immediately after the McCain campaign called for me to be given access to UIC library. A CNN reporter interviewed me, and almost every question was an attempt to challenge the significance of the Obama-Ayers link. I answered every query in detail. When the report finally aired, my points about the significance of the Obama-Ayers connection were cut. And now, CNN is actually claiming NR as an ally in its effort to undercut Palin. Incredible.

GWB may not be perfect, but the stature of his legacy is inversely proportional to Clinton’s, i.e. Gdubs becomes a Truman in the eyes of history while Clinton’s dawdling after Somalia, Kenya, Tanzania, Khobar Towers, Tarnak Farms-Afghanistan (cf. the attempts to block ‘The path to 9/11) reflects quite poorly. 28 out of the last 40 years have been under Republican presidents. The electoral map hasn’t changed significantly from 2004, the ‘October Surprise’ of Obama’s rapport with terrorists comes out, and here at pw, we have the apoplectic Obamabots.

Since you’ve begun calling Sarah vile names, we will now address the left side as Obama assholes. I really like that name..Here we go.. Obama assholes! please do your research and review the categories of the following: 20+ years mentored with racist reverend, close associate Bill Ayeres, Tony Rezco (felon), over 130 votes “present”, partly responsible for a failed school system in Chicago, Acorn-the community organization–sound familiar? that coerced businesses into giving large sums of money to their organization or they would threaten to go public with racial accusations that were completely false. Biden is basically a liar. A liar in all areas, even claiming that his wife and child were killed in a drunk driving accident. This story, while tragic, involved Biden’s first wife who
went through a stop sign and was hit by a truck driver who had the right of way. Biden himself while in the Dem primary made the statement that in no way was Obama qualified and was too inexperienced as a junior senator. Joe, we completely agree with you.

With Obama rising in polls while the country struggles in the grip of a financial crisis, Sen. John McCain’s presidential campaign decided to shift attention away from the troubled economy and onto issues of his opponent’s character, judgment and personal associations, the Washington Post reported.
Well now we know that it’s official and McBush is nothing more than a crying looser. McBush who didn’t have an issue bringing in his side kick Caribou Barbie for votes is ready to throw more dirt and continue the lies to attempt to win the White House. I really hope these back fires and put him out in the cold with the millionaire second wife where he threw his first out for and had multiple affairs on. Yep that’s a good old God and Country.

Palin if you’re going to throw stones betta make sure you don’t live in a glass house.
If Palin is going to say this, it is now perfectly legitimate to point out that she repeatedly courted a secessionist group founded by someone who openly professed hatred of the American government, cursed our flag, and wanted to secede from the Union. Sarah’s husband, Todd Palin, was a member of this group, which continues to venerate that founder to this day, for years.
As you already know, the group is the Alaska Independence Party, which sees as its ultimate goal seceding from the union. Todd was a member, with a brief exception, from 1995 until 2002, according to the Division of Elections in Alaska.
And though Sarah Palin herself was apparently not a member of this group, there’s no doubt that she repeatedly courted this secessionist organization over the years. In 1994, Palin attended the group’s annual convention, according to witnesses who spoke to ABC News’ Jake Tapper. The McCain campaign has confirmed she visited the group’s 2000 convention, and she addressed its convention this year, as an incumbent governor whose oath of office includes upholding the Constitution of the United States.
The founder of the AIP was a man named Joe Vogler. Here’s what he had to say in a 1991 interview, only a few years before Palin attended its convention: “The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government.”
He also said this: “And I won’t be buried under their damn flag. I’ll be buried in Dawson. And when Alaska is an independent nation they can bring my bones home.”
Vogler has also said: “I’m an Alaskan, not an American. I’ve got no use for America or her damned institutions.”

Underdog: “Does it help to know that SEVERAL REPUBLICANS SAT ON THAT SAME BOARD WITH OBAMA AND AYERS? Are they all terrorists?”
No, but they willingly associated with an unrepentant terrorist and wouldn’t get my vote for President.
Underdog: “Ayers has NOTHING to do with Obama. ”
Then why not throw him under the bus with the rest of his unfortunate and awkward associates, such as Wright, Rezko, etc.? Likewise, he certainly has a greater connection to Ayer’s than nothing — the Annenberg Challenge, the introduction / reception to Chicago politics certainly are morethan “nothing.”
Go back to drinking the Kool-Aid.

I am forcibly reminded of Kate MacMillan’s semi-regular “Not Waiting for the Asteroid” feature.
These are CNN’s viewers and readers. This is CNN’s target audience. These are the people CNN describes to advertisers (assuming they are honest, which they may not be) in order for the said advertisers to know which part to sponsor. We’ve got thirty or forty unique monikers not previously encountered, and maybe three of them can manage coherent exposition without cut and paste. What would you try to sell these folks?
This isn’t just “not waiting”. This is a full-throated asteroid dance, complete with steel drums, nose-flutes, and the ritual distribution of black and white sands in concentric circles to complete the Sacred Pattern. It is perhaps a bit cynical to wish them success.
Regards,
Ric

Two small problems, denden. The first and most obvious one would be that the MSM has already shot their wad trying to smear Palin in this campaign and accomplished nothing. Their credibility on the matter is pretty well shot. The second is that, were they to do so and be proven wrong yet again, all they would accomplish would be to make Palin look better. Thirty days in an election is a long time, despite the lede being pushed at the moment.

Friends with a racist preacher who demonizes America. Friends with a stone crook.

Comment by Carlos on 10/4 @ 8:10 pm #
Sadly, we are not (or should not be) at all surprised at Mrs. Palin’s behavior. This young politician–in her abysmal ignorance–has forgotten the basic principle of this election: the real issues. True, Ayers is and should be considered a terrorist. It should be assumed that he has been under careful watch for quite some time. He probably has been–and will always be–on the “list†of volatile people whom we do not need amongst us. However, to attach Senator Obama to such a radical movement is absurd. Clearly, Senator McCain is resorting to the lowest form of political campaigning. This attitude responds to fear. He knows this election is virtually lost in favor of change and the only tool left for them to use is allegation. I could not care less about Ayers and I would have preferred to see him behind bars for life, possibly sharing a cell with OJ Simpson. However, Senator Obama has rejected Ayers’ views publicly and distanced himself from this character at all times. I fear Ms. Palin’s views and lack of understanding above all else. In terms of the unthinkable, I fear that Senator McCain is far too senior to leave the highest office in the land in the hands of such an incompetent person. Incidentally, have we forgotten her association with the AIP in Alaska? Talk about radical and fanatical. When the founder of the group you support openly states that “the fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government… And I won’t be buried under their damn flag†we need to worry because these are “unidentified†and seriously troubled people who could inflict great anxiety in our form of Government. We had a similar situation back in 1861 and it cost us a great deal of anguish, remember?
Beyond Ayers, I need to focus on a loftier issue that has been created by our current administration…the $700 Billion loan that we just signed into law. If this fails, the consequences will be–no longer “could beâ€Â–disastrous. Between my mortgage, my kid’s college fund, my own debt, my medical concerns, and the price of gas that I desperately need to get to work and protect my job, Ms. Palin’s allegations are the absolute least of my concerns and I find them to be as preposterous as they are ignorant. I believe she could use a “six pack†right about now to kill the big bug she has up her butt (pardon my rudeness) and move on to 2012. This is good training for her. Well, anticipating that she has a folder for lessons learned.

denden91: “And I suppose that Palin is a genius. LOL!!!”
Assumes facts not in evidence, although I suspect that anyone who feels the need to post “lol” in caps in the course of a political debate is probably not all that interested in an honest exchange of ideas and is, in all probability, one of the poltroons I was discussing before.
Now, for the record, *I* was not the individual making the judgement on the level of erudition displayed by Joe Biden.
“(CNN) — An analysis carried out by a language monitoring service said Friday that Gov. Sarah Palin spoke at a more than ninth-grade level and Sen. Joseph Biden spoke at a nearly eighth-grade level in Thursday night’s debate between the vice presidential candidates.”
Comment by denden91 on 10/4 @ 8:10 pm #
Here’s the bottom lone for all of yu McCaininites. Fact: McCain has no answers for the economy. He is behind and it is getting bigger everyday and just like the McCain campaign you are all worried. McCain pulled out of Michigan because he is spending too much money there and Obama is leading or down by 1 to 3 points in Missouri, Indiana, Virginia, North Carolina, Florida, Nevada and Colorado. You now have to throw the long ball, hoping that someone will catch it. Ask Hillary how well that worked out for her. ;-)
Comment by lee on 10/4 @ 8:11 pm #
Lets see, the husband of the rep VP pick belonged to an Alaska political party that had separatist members, but nothing about that in their platform, vs. the dem presidential pick that had Ayers, Wright, and Rezko in his background.
And you think the husband is more relivant and more deserving of media scrutiny?

“Pals around with terrorists.†This is absurd and an insult to our intelligence. The issue has been debunked by several other publications – Washington Post, Time (magazine), Chicago Sun-Times, The New Yorker and The National Review. Apparently, she did not read nor research the matter further before speaking.
It was bad enough Palin’s comments with the press regarding McCain conceding in Michigan; for which she acknowledged that she only learned of McCain’s intention after reading it in the news paper on Friday and, obviously, was not part of the decision. Now this comment! For Gov Palin having a degree in journalism, this is neither impressive nor convincing of her credentials. Say it ain’t so John — please, say it ain’t so!
Comment by ThomasD on 10/4 @ 8:12 pm #

Obama, who was sworn into office in January 2005, spent much of his time in the Senate taking a high-profile position as spokesman for Democrats’ efforts to overhaul congressional ethics standards, including his own bid to make Senate colleagues pay the full charter rate, rather than first-class airfare, for rides in corporate jets. The effort drew the ire of such senior senators as Ted Stevens of Alaska, whose state is so big that corporate planes are often the only way to get around. Senate leaders included that jet travel requirement in a lobbying practices and disclosures bill signed into law in September 2007.
But as a member of the minority party, Obama also worked across the aisle with Republicans to push several measures that became law in 2006.
Working with Republican Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, Obama won enactment of a law creating a single, searchable database of all federal contracts, grants and loans.
He also partnered with senior Indiana Republican Sen. Richard Lugar, the former chairman of the Foreign Relations panel, to sponsor legislation to strengthen international efforts to destroy conventional weapons, though it did not advance out of committee.
Separately, Obama was lead sponsor of a bill to provide relief and promote democracy in the Democratic Republic of Congo, which was signed into law in December 2006.
He introduced legislation in 2005 to require federal preparations for an avian flu pandemic, but it didn’t advance.
And he weighed in on another “good government†initiative during congressional debate on tougher lobbying disclosure standards, by backing the creation of an independent “Office of Public Integrity†that would investigate congressional ethics cases and receive and monitor financial disclosure reports required from members of Congress, officers and employees of Congress and lobbyists. The bid failed in 2006 due to opposition from members of the Senate Ethics Committee, who said it would politicize the panel. Another attempt to include it in the Democrats’ ethics bill failed in early 2007.
Obama’s tendency to focus on nonidelogical issues is pragmatic, because they tend not to have powerful enemies or, if they do, are shielded by solid support in both parties. But some of his initiatives have languished, either because he was a junior member of the Democratic caucus or because they encountered institutional resistance. One would have rewarded troubled school districts with extra federal help in exchange for deep changes.

Palin is exactly the reason traditionally Republican families like ours are voting for Obama this year.

denden: “And what can McCain lay claim to in 26 years? He must have a long list.â€Â
Let us start with the bill with his name on it  McCain-Feingold  campaign finance reform  was rather popular with your side, as I recall.
Bipartisan, passed and made no one particularly happy. Is there anything Obama has done that compares?
His first year in the U.S. Senate, he authored 152 bills and co-sponsored another 427. These included
The one I already mentioned
the Coburn-Obama Government Transparency Act of 2006â€â€became law.
The Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act, passed the Senate.
The 2007 Government Ethics Billâ€â€became law.
The Protection Against Excessive Executive Compensation Bill, In committee, and many more.

Heh. We disagree with them, so we must be stupid…or else supporting their ideological opponent.
If you do the research, you’ll find that the Republicans are national socialists in all but name. Meanwhile, the Democrats are almost openly communist…in all but name.
On the third hand, this is a blog owned and maintained by an independent libertarian. (W/o a forty-page white paper, that’s probably about as close as anyone will ever get to describing Jeff’s politics in a two-word descriptive.)
The trolls are so friggin’ ignorant that they think the world is black and white.
(I know. I shouldn’t feed the trolls…but these guys are just so much fun…)
The scary part is, they seem to think that the use of force, personal intimidation, verbal abuse and physical threats are convincing arguments. Actually, that’s a tactic commonly used by cult leaders and organizations.

Thomas D., you responded to my post by writing that “Obama already did it himself, years ago, and there’s a big fat paper trail to prove it.” I must admit that I am somewhat familiar whith Ayers and his radical views, but the allegation that Sen. Obama was intricately associated with him took me by surprise. I cannot honestly say that he is or he is not based on my limited knowledge of this particular aspect of the whole subject. I do not advocate–in the most non-partisan spirit–association with radical organizations. I had, however, assumed that by the time a candidate makes it to the final stretch, all angles have been taken into consideration. Beyond this, there are reputable news publications that claim that such an association does not exists. In sum, I will have to read more to respond…well…to respond again.

I think all of us who truly seek the truth in this matter agree that it would be best if Obama simply sat down with a serious journalist who has spent time on the matter and went on the record regarding the specifics.

I was disappointed when he picked Palin and not Lieberman, but this has driven me over the edge.
Really? How did you feel when Obama didn’t pick Lieberman? Or Hillary for that matter.
I never liked McCain, My vote is going to be against the socialist, not for the Maverick. If he had picked Lieberman, a liberal democrat, he wouldn’t have even got that.
And he still wouldn’t have gotten your vote either, admit it.

Carlos — please do read more.
When you find out the truth, perhaps you’ll revisit your characterization of those “news organizations” as “reputable”.
Here’s another question for you:
You’ve been hearing from those same “reputable” “news organizations” that Palin is borderline retarded, never reads anything, has no knowledge of foreign policy, etc.
I assume you watched the debate (if not, please do; the full debate is online in several venues).
Ask yourself how this lightweight bumpkin managed to hold her own so well against a 36 year congressional veteran who is the Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee. Does her performance in the live debate match what you’ve seen in the carefully-edited “interviews” with Couric and Gibson?
Next, ask yourself how this Neanderthal hick managed to rack up a 75% approval rating among Democrats in her home state. Does it seem likely that the media version of Palin would manage to do that?
Comment by Sdferr on 10/4 @ 8:43 pm #
You know, really, the panic evident in these Obama supporters has me feeling better about McCain’s chances in this election than I have in a couple of weeks. So thanks for lifting my spirits there, all you faithful Obama acolytes, and to think all it took was Palin injecting a tiny bit of truth telling into the conversation. Splendid. Really.
Comment by aloha on 10/4 @ 8:44 pm #
Outside perspective: In Germany we had, from 1998 to 2005, a government full of politicians who not only talked to homegrown left wing radicals in the 60’s, but supported some of them actively by, for example, hiding them from the police force. Our foreign affairs minister, Joschka Fischer, the guy who had the balls to confront Rumsfeld, even beat and hurt officers back then. But 30 years later all of them did an excellent job in office. Unemployment is half now from what it was before. So what’s the big deal then with Obama knowing somebody, distantly, who meant trouble a long time ago? I wonder what dubious friends McCain has to offer. The world comes in shades of grey.

Comment by Carin on 10/4 @ 8:45 pm #
Carlos – one of our concerns (I believe I speak for more than just myself) is that those who are supposed to investigate this stuff have given Obama a pass, while burning the midnight oil to uncover the most inconsequential stuff regarding Palin. After years in the spotlight, there should be little of mystery regarding the One. But … strangely … there are these huge gaping holes that no one seems to have the time or interest to investigate.
But … regarding Trig’s birth? THEY ARE ON THE CASE!
Can you not SEE why conservatives are suspect? To deny this is to merely admit one is a partisan hack.
Comment by Carlos on 10/4 @ 8:45 pm #
Dre, what I meant was that each party would select a candidate that represented the highest ethical and moral values, according to commonly-recognized standards. In the case of fanatical and/or radical organizations–particularly those with terrorist tendencies–I have serious doubts that either party would engage people with ties to any of these organizations. Well, one would hope…

Carlos, I’d invite you to spend some time in the archives here (now there’s a learning experience) especially to see that McCain, and his statist tendencies, have not received a universally warm welcome here. The other posters really are not being coy, much of the support you see here for him is more so default opposition to what we see from (and in) Obama (and his premature coronation by an incurious and incredulous media establishment.)

Spies, I have watched the debate. There was great anticipation for it. In my case, I was not at all focused on how well she would rebound from the Kuric interview. I wanted to see if she could actually step up to the plate. And she did just that. When you place a young politician with limited experience against a senior Senator, the outcome was expected. However, I was discussing the issue of Sen. Obama’s association with this other group and accepting that I had little in-depth knowledge of it. I will, however, come back and retract if necessary. It would only be fair.

Carlos, unfortunately for you, you made the rules.
It is thoroughly established that an endorsement by a pastor whose church the candidate never attended is such a total black mark that the said candidate must absolutely repudiate that support, and can be criticized for being insufficiently insulting in doing so.
You and your fellows are now attempting to establish that a candidate’s spouse’s association with a fringe political party that is, in reality, primarily a drinking club is disqualifying.
Very well, we can operate under that set of constraints. It means that any past association, however tentative, remote, or tangential, with anyone who can be described in less than savory terms is to be forcefully aired, and pounded upon until the candidate admits it, repudiates it, and begs forgiveness on bended knee. You set it up that way. You have no complaint.
Regards,
Ric

However, it was Ms. Palin who fired the first shot.
I’d suggest you start clearing up your misconceptions right there.
The association between Obama and Ayers has been discussed extensively, that you only took note of it now certainly begs an explanation. Perhaps someone, or some ones have been keeping you out of the loop.

Well Carlos you say Palin fired the first shot, so where do you think all the smears about Trig being Bristol baby etc, etc come from. They sure as hell didn’t come from the Republicans.
There has only been one sleazy smear job in this election and that was against Sarah Palin. The Ayers and Annenburg issues are things the Obama has either hid or outright lied about.
They are legitimate questions that have never answered.

How can a candidate for one of the top offices in America totally ignore a court order to testify? Instead of scraping up old news that has already been disproven, she should be answering questions regarding her role in this scandal. Palin is living is a glass house and has the nerve to throw stones. TESTIFY SARAH PALIN. You do that and I’ll take what you say seriously.

Comment by Ric Locke on 10/4 @ 9:16 pm #
Carlos,
No, sorry. The parameters of that system were set long ago, when Democrats tried to argue that Obama’s twenty years of continuous attendance at the same church under the same pastor was not relevant, despite his having quoted that pastor in his autobiograph[y|ies] as basic to his thinking — whereas endorsement of McCain by the pastor of a megachurch in San Antonio which McCain never attended, and whose theology McCain was only barely if at all acquainted with, was a major embarrassment. The two assertions are mutually contradictory; if one is reasonable the other is not. The cliché is “what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.”
I doubt very seriously that an adult American exists who has no embarrassing associations in his or her past, and if such does exist it is unlikely that that person has what it takes to participate in politics. If nothing else, anyone with known relatives as far out as first cousin is pretty well guaranteed to have at least one Billy Carter in the bunch. But if such associations are to be lasciviously discussed and used in attempts to disqualify, as the Media Press insist in their search for startlement and titillation, all the candidates should receive the same benefit from the procedure, not just those of one party. If Joe Vogler is relevant to anything whatever, then Wright, Rezko, Raines, and the rest of that menagerie are at least equally to be examined.
Regards,
Ric

So much for conducting a campaign of issues and dignity.
Sarah Palin’s life is now an open book and setting aside her ability to get elected the Governor of a small state, there appears to be information to suggest a background and events that at best could serve as a role model for Americans. If you want to judge Obama because of an association with someone with less than a sterling past, how about your own life. I would not be proud of a unwed pregnant daughter, a scandal involving abuse of power of your office to take revenge on your ex brother in law,consorting with a devil worshiper, allegedly a son who abused drugs, your alleged affair with your husbands business partner, your escapades in colleges (6) in (4) years.
Deciding to charge rape victims for testing kits, cutting off funds for the special olympics.. enough said.
Palin is hardly in a position to talk to anyone about character or associations. From what I read she is not an admirable person nor has managed her own life in a manner to hold herself up as a role model.
Slinging mud might be viewed as a way to score point, I think it has done the opposite.
She apparently has traded on her looks to get a head and that may have sold in Alaska, but I see her as a dumb empty suit.

Before either Palin, McCain or Obama throws mud they should watch Saving Our Economy. What’s Next? on FOX news . It shows the history of the bailout problem. The problems start in 1977, then Freddie/Fannie and shows when Obama worked for ACORN. What is ACORN? Both Republicans and Democrats are to blame and only you will be able to intelligently assess the degree of blame. But it is a must see before you vote in this election. Just watch it, do your own research and make up your mind. It could be the end of our country as we know it. I consider this view a civic duty.

Palin’s Attack On Obama’s Patriotism Legitimizes Questions About The Palins’ Association With Group Founded By America-Hating Secessionist.
The founder of the AIP was a man named Joe Vogler. Here’s what he had to say in a 1991 interview, only a few years before Palin attended its convention: “The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government.”
He also said this: “And I won’t be buried under their damn flag. I’ll be buried in Dawson. And when Alaska is an independent nation they can bring my bones home.”
Vogler has also said: “I’m an Alaskan, not an American. I’ve got no use for America or her damned institutions.”
McCain apologists will argue that Sarah Palin was not a member of this group. But Obama wasn’t a member of any Ayers anti-American group, either. And again, Palin repeatedly courted the AIP, and her husband was a member for years

Does anyone realized that Palin and McCain are doing the same exact bullshit song and dance that got Bush into office…not once, but twice. AND PEOPLE ARE STILL LISTENING. Even after the war…after 4000+ of our troops have been slaughtered, after hundreds of THOUSANDS of innocent Iraqis have been murdered. PEOPLE ARE STILL BUYING INTO THIS FEAR MUSLIMS BULLSHIT. FEAR EVERYTHING. FEAR OUR NEIGHBORS FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY. IT IS UNPATRIOTIC NOT TO FEAR. Our economy is in the toilet, we will be facing some of the toughest ENERGY crises ever in the coming years, and people still look with hope in their eyes to a man and women who embrace violence, who embrace racisim (not all Muslims are crazy muslim extreamist who want to kill people. Most are in fact, lovely people.) who embrace BIG OIL (hello? its running out, so lets try something different!), and the Bush way of doing things. For God’s sake, Palin IS NOT READY NOR WILL SHE EVER BE READY TO LEAD A COUNTRY LET ALONE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. McCain is a very old man and he could quite possibly die while in office. God help us if Palin becomes president.
AMERICA PLEASE OPEN YOUR EYES. Obama and Biden are not saints but they are LEVEL HEADED AND JUST. THEY WILL HELP BRING BACK TRUST AND INTEGRETY TO WHITE HOUSE AND TO THIS FLOUNDERING COUNTRY. WE NEED TO WORK TOGETHER. MUSLIMS AND EVERYONE ELSE! ENOUGH WITH THE FEAR. AREN’T YOU SICK OF IT TOO?!
Pingback by Water Seeks Its Own Level … Sarah Palin Tells Crowd Obama Is “Palling Around” With Terrorists | Scared Monkeys on 10/4 @ 9:43 pm #
[...] Republican VP candidate today told a crowd of supporters that Obama is “palling around with a terrorist”. The reference is to 1960’s radical Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers, Bomber and Obama pal Bill Ayers. How is it possible that a potential President of the United States could have any dealings with a person like Bill Ayers? Ayers is an unrepentant terrorist. One could hardly care how slim the dealings are with Ayers, why would a potential President of the USA have any dealings with a domestic terrorist? [...]

In my response on Palin’s behavior I never once professed support for Obama. I guess when people see information that is negative about someone they for whatever reason support, they shoot the messenger.
Just to get some facts straight regarding “Joe Hair plugs” Delaware has a larger population than Alaska and Biden got more votes in his last election for Senator by a lot more than Palin did for Governor.
While Alaska is often cited as being the largest state in terms of land mass, over 80% of the land is owned and Governed by the Federal Government.
Regarding ACORN, the amount of mortgages they can take credit or blame for is something that should be researched, before throwing rocks.
Finally, is quaint that people are yelling about the wall street bailout of $700 billion.. I guess they don’t care about the $10 Trillion dollar deficit and promoting tax breaks and cuts to further drive the entire country into financial ruin.

Or backed Ayer’s crazy book with his whole heart and book jacket endorsement? Made sure to fund Ayer’s friends, and their ideas. Which had little enough to do with “education”, if you’re thinking of math and reading and crap like that. It was all about the re-education.
Oh, and undermining the hard-won local control of school boards that upset the Chicago machine so much.

“Deciding to charge rape victims for testing kits, cutting off funds for the special olympics.. enough said.”
Enough said, perhaps. But not nearly enough read. Those lies were debunked a while ago; time for you cultist robots to start churning out new ones, no?
“Palin is hardly in a position to talk to anyone about character or associations. From what I read she is not an admirable person nor has managed her own life in a manner to hold herself up as a role model.”
That settles it then. Based on what you read (in the National Enquirer, natch), specifics be damned, Sarah Palin is not an admirable person. I hear she even has decades-long personal and professional relationships with terrorists, militant racial supremacists, and racketeers!
Well, her or that other guy. I don’t really follow politics too closely.
“She apparently has traded on her looks to get a head and that may have sold in Alaska, but I see her as a dumb empty suit.”
Says the guy voting for an accomplishment-free dimwit who has trucked with sketchier company than John Gotti throughout his short and undistinguished professional career. And all because he has a thimble-full of “oppressed” blood and makes the ladies swoon with his soaring, vapid oratory.
The irony; it burrrrrns.

Right: Argic was an Armenian genocide denier (if I remember right, he actually went so far as to claim that the Armenians committed genocide against the Turks). He ran some sort of bot that monitored every group for the word “turkey”, and did an infodump whenever the word turned up.
This caused a great deal of head-scratching on recipe groups, as I understand it. Your recipe for turkey casserole would prompt a reply about your CRIMINAL ARMENIAN GRANDPARENTS.

The witch doctor DID lay hands on Sarah Palin in her church – it’s on youtube. I won’t give the link, though, because some people here are her constituents. They don’t believe in doing homework, so I’ll be thoughtful, and won’t stress their brains. Anyone who WANTS to find it can probably get hold of it with the keywords “Murthee” “Palin” and maybe “AoG” or “Assembly of God.” You’ll find it if you want to.
It’s right THERE, video shot BY her own church, AT her own church, with the witch doctor doing the laying on of hands thingie, to protect her against witches. You can actually SEE HIM doing it to her, and later she thanked and praised him, too. Seems this dude, Murthee, ran a woman who told fortunes out of town back in Kenya. Because a couple of road accidents happened near her home, he labeled her a witch. The poor lady was profoundly threatened by him and his flock, who also got the local police to harass her, until she moved away, and this creep, Murthee, has been glorified ever since for it – enough to get him an “invite” to come to the States as a guest preacher. Where he laid hands on dear Sarah, so the witches wouldn’t “get her.”
I sure don’t want a whacked-out vice president who believes in witches, thank you very much. Especially one who likes the idea of banning books. Makes me glad I live in Mexico in my retirement – at least here politicians wouldn’t DARE even think of banning books! It’d be political suicide. Mexicans treasure their rights. At least MY reading habits are secure here.

You can start with the Armed services committees in the House and Senate and work out from there. Remembering also that the Democrats have been in charge of the Hill for sixty of the last seventy \-odd years, thus, in control of the money…and where it went…and to whom.

Or if he can’t get to the kiddies directly, Bill Ayers will work with Hugo Chavez to get to the little kiddies teachers. And that’ll fix ‘em.

“I sure don’t want a whacked-out vice president who believes in witches, thank you very much.”
Yes, much better to have a President who believes that 9/11 was an inside job and that the CIA invented AIDS to kill blacks. Or who at least didn’t have even the trivial amount of courage it required to distance himself from those beliefs before it was absolutely politically necessary. Crackpot or coward, take your pick.
“Especially one who likes the idea of banning books.”
Do you guys have these lies mapped to keyboard macros, because, I gotta tell ya, I’d get pretty damned tired flitting around the blogosphere repeating them manually.
“Makes me glad I live in Mexico in my retirement”
I’m glad you live there, too.
“at least here politicians wouldn’t DARE even think of banning books! It’d be political suicide.”
Yes, it’s much less politically risky for Mexican government officials and police to simply cooperate with the drug cartels that run the country in their various acts of theft, kidnapping, and murder. And more profitable to boot!
“Mexicans treasure their rights. At least MY reading habits are secure here.”
You’re right, we silly Americans have soooo much to learn from a third-world kleptocratic/plutocratic shithole that would be a fourth-world kleptocratic/plutocratic shithole if it weren’t the largest welfare client of the United States economy. If only we have the humility and courage to listen.

Unless you’ve BEEN there, you can’t imagine how diverse the South Side is. University of Chicago, one of the best and hardest-to-get-into universities in America, is right there. So is the world-respected Oriental Institute, home to some of the world’s top Egyptologists. It has poor areas, rich areas, and between areas. It’s a chunk of Chicago, and nothing else.
Why don’t you lamebrains simply drink lemonade instead of grape Koolaid? Better for those brain cells; you need ‘em all, obviously.
Then admit the REAL truth: You just don’t want a “N” in the White House. Which is the dumbest thing of all, since that “N” will help keep YOUR JOB from going to China or India. Gotta hand it to the GOP – they sure know how to make their constituents shoot their own feet off.

There are many website out there which have accurate information on them. Faith Freedom is one but there are others.

They’re obviously very competitive, because that alleged gap is closing by leaps and bounds on a daily basis. You almost have to root for a team that shows that much heart.
The only people who see Christianity as a serious threat in the world are mentally ill militant secularists. The only people who recognize Islamism as a serious threat are, you know, serious adults and stuff. There’s some kind of lesson in there somewhere.

“More people have been slaughtered in the name of christianity than any other religion and/or war, the Muslims have a long way to catch up to the christians.”
- Hopefully we’ll nuke them all to Allah(pbuh) before they make very much headway.
- BTW. You might try showing just the tiniest bit of respect toward “C”hristtianity” as you are so balls over ass willing to do for Muslims. Just to be fair and balanced. You want to do that right. The “caring” party.
- Maybe we need to do it from orbit. Its the only way to be sure.
- Oh. And while we’re going on about the religion of peace, I’d be willing to chip in a grand if you can find a Christian that’s cut anybodies head off in the name of his/her religion in the past 200+ years.
- The insane do not count. ‘Course on the Islam side that eliminates most of them.

“Are their crazy people out there who have lost all hope. YES. and they want everyone to suffer like they are. But I’m not afraid of them. The number of good people out there outweigh the bad.”
That’s a happy thought, Lizzy, but it’s also irrelevant. The entire civilian population of North Korea might be as sweet as Punkin Pie, but I’m pretty sure that the one insane, megalomaniacal sociopath who blacks out the country every night so he doesn’t get any glare on his 60 foot projection screen while he watches Disney movies and gets plastered on $400/bottle cognac kind of tilts the scales a little more than they do.

sailwindward: “Obama was 8 years old when Ayers allegedly did all these unsubstantiated dirty deeds.â€Â
“How old was he when Ayers said he regretted not setting more bombs?”
Unsubstantiated?!? lol, Ayers and Dorhn have admitted what they did in setting off bombs, revelled in it and are not repentent at all. That’s what is so galling.
As they worked together on Annenberg challenge grant, sat together on Woods Foundation and parcelled out money to other leftists, Ayers NEVER shed his radicalism, he just ‘blended in’ as an establishment Communist in places where being a domestic terrorist is allowed so long as you are an elitist left-wing radical. Furthermore, the CAC itself was a dirty deed, doing to the schools what the bombing couldnt accomplish to the country – radicalize it.
Ayers remains an eloquent communist and lover of POS dictators like Hugo Chavez:
http://no-bama.blogspot.com/2008/10/comrade-bill-ayers-speech-to-left-wing.html
Obama was ‘all in’ on this activity as well as his full participation at Trinitiy UCC, soaking up the Black Liberation Theology of the Rev Wright. Along with his communist mentor in his teenage years, Frank Davis Marshall, Ayers, Wright, his mother, others, Obama’s main influences have been radicals, socialists and communists.

They aren’t. Oh, and the icky awful Xians (come on, use the TRENDY sneer word for them, be COOL) are helping Muslims form constitutional republics in two countries as well. Ah, and when the tsunami hit Muslim Indonesia, those icky awful “right-wing Christians” sent aid to help them. Oh drat, you’ll have to come up with another fallacy to throw about and hope it distracts from your other claims now.
Ah well, stay with your safe bigotry. No Christian will beat you up or kill you or start riots across the word for insulting them. But keep on pretending the Inquisition et al means they will so you can act all brave and heroic. Chicks should dig that. Or not.

“Palling Around with Terrorists”, says Sarah Palin — what reactionary hypocritical bullshit! Take away the lipstick, she displays both the ignorance and temperament of a pit bull. Give the pit bull more credit — it likely does not know better…
Her number one pal, John McCain, could equally be charged with being a “terrorist”. No doubt he and most Americans believe he was doing his “patriotic duty” in bombing homes, villages, and factories in North Viet Nam. If an enemy plane flies over and drops bombs on your house, would you not think that is a “terrorist” act? If the plane gets shot-down, crashing in a nearby pond, should anyone be surprised that you and your fellow villagers might retaliate in roughing up this “patriotic terrorist” pilot, maybe break a few of his bones, before handing the scoundrel over to the authorities?
How many people did John McCain kill on that fateful bombing run? How many on previous sorties? Is he not also a terrorist by current definition? Too many crocodile tears are shed for this so-called great American “hero”.
Like Iraq, the Viet Nam “war” was launched under manufactured false pretense (a la “Tonkin Gulf incident”), followed by LBJ and his cronies’ version of “shock and awe”. Bush-Cheney/McCain and Neo-Con’s war and occupation is no less a terrorist onslaught on a sovereign country and the world at larger, with over half a million Iraqi’s killed and generating a new haven for Al Quaeda, while generating Sunni/Shia insurgency.
The last eight years of Bush crime family running the country has lowered the bar — so low that many of the benumbed Americans and mass media are taking the rants of this ignorant pit bull seriously.

Regarding ACORN, the amount of mortgages they can take credit or blame for is something that should be researched, before throwing rocks.
“ACORN showed its colors again in 1991, by taking over the House Banking Committee room for two days to protest efforts to scale back the CRA. Obama represented ACORN in the Buycks-Roberson v. Citibank Fed. Sav. Bank, 1994 suit against redlining. Most significant of all, ACORN was the driving force behind a 1995 regulatory revision pushed through by the Clinton Administration that greatly expanded the CRA and laid the groundwork for the Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac borne financial crisis we now confront. Barack Obama was the attorney representing ACORN in this effort. With this new authority, ACORN used its subsidiary, ACORN Housing, to promote subprime loans more aggressively.”

Anybody who calls their ticket a “ticket of mavericks” should not be elected because
1. Why are you able to make of names for yourself?… I don’t know where ya’ll come from but to use a nickname somebody has to give it to you first
2. How can you be a “maverick”
3. this ticket is made up on the basis of creating catchy slogans to lure people into their no substance polices
4. If a campaign has to resort to using these “slogans”, they are not winning because they hope people buy into their pitches as being “mavericks” because they are down in major polling, and its simple economics to make a product more appealing than what it really is, just like how our society markets “energy” but everybody knows its just caffeine and vitamins. Therefore Senator McCain markets the name “maverick” on his ticket in hopes people will vote for their name
Vote Palin because she is a soccer/hockey mom
and she is a maverick, so VOTE FOR HER
Maverick
Maverick
get it, she is a maverick so vote for her
well i am a “maverick” so vote for me…. you dont know what I represent but vote for me on account that I can use the word “maverick” in all of my policies…. yay! (wink to the crowd)

Will he admit this Bush policy was good?!?!
“He was RIGHT to oppose the war in Iraq.” He wasnt even in Congress for the war vote, and in 2004 July he said his policy was the same as Bush. you bought the 20/20 hindsight lie he tells.
” Yeah McINSANE was right that extra troops have stopped the hemmoraging, but for crist’s sake,” yeah, since 2003, while all obama did was show no leadership on the issue at all until he was running for president and then GOT IT WRONG by claiming the surge didnt work.

Vjay? Do you forget that I DO live in Mexico? Your labels on Mexico and Mexicans reveal that you are racist and xenophobic. Despite the terrible ways that people in MY homeland treat Mexicans, I have been treated here – for 15 years – as a person who would have to prove to them that I share American prejudices before they’d hold them against me. I have met some of the kindest people in my experience here. I’ve known some from back home, too; decent people just seem to turn up everywhere. Sorry if you don’t like it.
I challenge you to find ONE grocery store or pharmacy that will let a poor person have food or medicines – on CREDIT! And deliver to their home, too. My doc even makes house calls; bet yours doesn’t. Anyone who gets their bottled water from Santorini down here is drinking water more pure than even in a research lab. Hate to burst your bubble, pal, but Mexico IS, in some ways, occasionally more hip and humane than we are. But I won’t “diss” my countrymen, because I’ve known some of our finest people; I don’t let creeps label my countrymen for me. It does tell me, though, that many Americans really COULD benefit by some work on their generosity of spirit.
Oh, and one other little thing. Mexico has IMSS, national health insurance. I have it. I’m uninsurable back home with spinal nerve damage. Here I have better coverage than you do. It covers everything from prescription drugs and equipment to lab tests – everything. No deductibles or copayments. And, after two years without making any claims, it CANNOT be cancelled on you, and no restrictions can be placed on your coverage, as long as you don’t let it lapse. I used it when I had pneumonia for 9 days in the hospital. Fancy it wasn’t. Professional, thorough and caring, it was – and everything squeaky clean. Food was even decent. What do I pay? Well, being over 60, I pay a litle more. My premium is about U.S. $500. Per YEAR. Family coverage is probably a bit more than that.
What have I been hearing about Americans having to pay like $12000 a year? For coverage that isn’t even complete? Wanna guess who’s being ripped off here, Mexicans or Americans? I wish Americans could have this, too. I can use a private doc or private hospital if I want to and have regular insurance. The choices are mine. I’m not forced, except by being uninsurable up north, into doing anything. The low cost and easy availability of IMSS keeps the private docs and hospitals from getting too greedy, too. Kinda nice.
Wasn’t it someone way back when who spoke about cinders and logs in eyes?
In spite of my disgust for the bigots here, I wish Americans would realize that a plan like this hurts NOBODY, but helps – can help – countless people like me. It’s what my countrymen deserve: TOTAL health coverage, for under $1000 a year, no “extra” costs, noncancellable or restrictable after two years of nonuse. If this – what did you call it? Oh, yeah, but I don’t repeat foul language…if this “Third World” country can do it, why can’t WE? Feel free to check it out. On healthcare coverage, Mexico is WAY ahead of us.
As for being somehow in league with the cartels, I seriously doubt that, since the cartels have caused a VERY high body count of government officials. Governments tend to dislike that sort of thing.
Your comment:
“You’re right, we silly Americans have soooo much to learn from a third-world kleptocratic/plutocratic shithole that would be a fourth-world kleptocratic/plutocratic shithole if it weren’t the largest welfare client of the United States economy. If only we have the humility and courage to listen.”
Is a pure admission of your racism. What you know about Mexico could be printed on a thumbtack, yet you claim to know all. Mexico has a rapidly growing middle class, and it is the middle class in any democracy that stabilizes it. Ours does, so does Mexico’s. As for “third world,” I don’t think that can apply any more, since the economy is growing rapidly. I can buy imports, but I can also buy just about anything I need, made in Mexico. And it is only people with shriveled up hearts like you who think you can feel better about your own inadequacies by putting down a whole group of people who are somehow “different.” I love America. I love Mexico, too. Two wonderful nations, with (mostly) wonderful people in them. So thank you for being glad for me that I live in this very civilized country. It HAS been good. If I could afford to live back home, I’d genuinely be torn – either way, I’d miss SO much, and I love them both.
Yeah, there is corruption here, just like there is back home. Only their candidates, even for president, haven’t – yet – sunk so low as to promote hatred and prejudice, or pull “Swiftboating” stunts, spreading smears and lies. If it works up north, though, who knows what they’ll do here.
You know nothing of Mexico, yet want people to think you know it all. I’ve lived here 15 years, yet I’m supposed to be thought of as knowing nothing, just because YOU say so. That’s typical of GOP thought processes.
Ah, well, a flamer by any other name…

The two VP canditates would surely have been under immense pressure before & during the debates. At the end of the debate, a strong christian, when he or she feels have done ok, the natural reaction in them would be to invoke the name of God openly, some way or other as a sort of thanks giving. I found Biden say it & not Sara Palin, because she probably forgot it or busy thanking herself. Such a spontaneous reaction can come only if one has some faith in God. Sara Palin might argue that she told it in her heart, but the debate was an open expression & it will only do more good, as nobody will fault it. This is a sign of shallowness with regards to her faith in her & it is really fearful to believe that she represents the Christian conservatives base.

I find it amusing to watch the ants fighting. NO ONE SUPPORTS MCCAIN.
One side has an honorable candidate. He tried to talk about the issues.
He tried to talk about fixing things. About finding common ground. His opponent said the same things, and then started running a campaign with a “pattern of deceit”.
Both sides know that this is true. Just using the term “PATTERN OF DECEIT” makes it clear who I am talking about.
One side of this campaign talks in glittering generalities and has a celebrity candidate with no experience that is driving the ticket.
One side picked a running mate that is experienced and has strengths where the other has weaknesses.
One side picked a candidate based on political strategy that would be at sea in the rough and tumble world of Washington politics.
Who is the right choice? Which one is playing a low and dirty game, and reminds us of the campaigns run by the discredited KARL ROVE?
Which one is from humble beginnings? Which has the inside track with a rich father and a rich grandfather? Which one is calling the other elitist? Which one fits elitist?

How many people did John McCain kill on that fateful bombing run? How many on previous sorties? Is he not also a terrorist by current definition?
Well, no. McCain was a navy pilot. There’s lots of rules and restrictions on when they blow shit up.
It’s all in the Geneva Conventions. You could look it up.
Terrorists, almost by definition, are the opposite of John McCain.

“debates. At the end of the debate, a strong christian, when he or she feels have done ok, the natural reaction in them would be to invoke the name of God openly, some way or other as a sort of thanks giving. I found Biden say it & not Sara Palin, because she probably forgot it or busy thanking herself. Such a spontaneous reaction can come only if one has some faith in God. Sara Palin might argue that she told it in her heart, but the debate was an open expression & it will only do more good, as nobody will fault it. This is a sign of shallowness with regards to her faith in her & it is really fearful to believe that she represents the Christian conservatives base.”
Wow, you “concern” retards are really scraping bottom now. Yes, I’m sure that Joe and Jane Flyover are super-convinced that Joe “Abortions for All” Biden — the same Joe Biden that asserts that paying taxes is “patriotic” but whose charitable donations over the past eight years (a whopping three grand and change) were eclipsed by the Palins over the past two (despite Biden’s higher salaray) — is the “real” Christian in the VP race.
And Barack Obama — he of the “I was a Muslim before I was an atheist before I found a political honeypot in a Marxist racial supremacist church that asserts that any God that doesn’t butcher whitey must be murdered” — is the “real” Christian at the top of the card. Riiiiiight.
But thanks for sharing your concern. The conservative blogosphere needs more brave, hand-wringing life-long Christian Reaganites like yourself to shake us out of our complacency and delusions.

Lizzy -
“They have a large army…but if they truly wanted to to go war..just how long would they be able to feed that army?”
I’ve spent one winter under canvas on the DMZ, central zone, and went back to visit on two other occasions. They have over half a million men under arms, and have been digging in on and under the DMZ since the armistice was signed in ‘53.
You know what an armistice is, right? That’s not peace. That’s “we’ll stop shooting and talk”. That’s been the status quo for over fifty years. The KPA is the only demographic outside of Mr. Kim that eats better than a subsistence diet now. But feeding them in time of war isn’t the problem.
They’d lose any war they start. The world knows it. But Seoul, a city of more than ten million civilian inhabitants, would cease to exist in the first twenty four hours of any fight. Better than half the city is in range of entrenched/bunkered tube artillery, and the entire area, to include the Port of Inchon, is well within the envelope covered by the KPA’s rocket forces.
It’s imprecise to use “North Korea” in any conversation dealing with diplomacy; you don’t deal with North Korea, you deal with Kim Jong Il. Period. Luckily he’s a small man with a small man’s worst stereotypical faults; if he was a real ideologue the war would have been fought decades ago, and everyone in Seoul would be dead or mightily inconvenienced.
His part of the Axis of Evil is real heavy on counterfit Benjamins and fake viagra and the odd kidnapping and murder, plus a nation lit only by fire. He’s been kept in a box. Which won’t be the case if O! wanders off the block into our house; he’ll think he’s dealing with a nation, like all the other Leftists did, and start propping up Kim again.
Kim will die in his own good time; I’m more than happy that it be by hangover or diabetes or erotic asphyxiation. It’s a job I’d just as soon not have to be done by our military.
South Korea is lovely, and her people are brave, gracious, and proud. I’d like to go back a decade after they reunify; if I should live so long.
Oh, and welcome to PW.

One side has an honorable candidate. He tried to talk about the issues.
John McCain offered Obama to join him in 10 townhalls. No takers.
He tried to talk about fixing things. About finding common ground.
John McCain was more graceful to obama in his acceptance speech, whereas Obama was unusually harsh about McCain.
Obama smeared McCain on his email use, smeared McCain on his healthcare plan and has surrogates and supporters smearing McCain’s character. This in between the main campaign message which is “Bushs sucks so vote for me and I’ll give you more govt freebies”.
Nice high road guys.

We don’t have concerns about The One’s Nubian ancestry, or even concerns about his Semetic ancestry, either.
He’s a gollem. Devoid of soul or of spirit, an empty hole resides where his heart should be. A hole the depths of which no amount of fame or fortune or success can fill. When he finally succumbs to that vast internal emptiness, only the pain of others will suffice, and in the end, only the death of the world will satisfy.

“One side has an honorable candidate.”
Which one? The side that’s running a guy who associates with terrorists, black liberation theologists, and convicts? Or the side that’s running a guy that served in the military and endured years of torture despite having the opportunity to avoid it?
“He tried to talk about the issues.”
He failed. Badly. All we’ve learned by parsing through his flunkie-scripted sermons is that Barry really, really loves spending other people’s money. And that he generally gets a hideously bad return on it.
“He tried to talk about fixing things. About finding common ground.”
About how John McCain was a cancer-riddled corpse-in-the-making. About how John McCain was going to start rounding up Mexicans and throw them into Nazi-style deportation cars. About how John McCain was going to steal Granny’s Social Security checks. About imaginary episodes of “reaching across the aisle” to John McCain and Dick Lugar to craft legislation that doesn’t bear Obama’s name or ideas.

Because he’s not a crypto-Marxist who has never accomplished anything and has borderline insane ideas on how the world works? That work for you?
And if, God forbid, John McCain dies in office, the person taking over would still be infinitely more experienced and qualified (and, again, not a clueless crypto-Marxist) than Barry Obama.

“I always liked to strut a little after I’d been roughed up to show the other guys I was tough enough to take it. But after I turned down their offer, they worked me over harder than they ever had before. For a long time. And they broke me.
When they brought me back to my cell, I was hurt and ashamed, and I didn’t know how I could face my fellow prisoners. The good man in the cell next door, my friend, Bob Craner, saved me. Through taps on a wall he told me I had fought as hard as I could. No man can always stand alone. And then he told me to get back up and fight again for our country and for the men I had the honor to serve with. Because every day they fought for me. ”

…or was that Prometheus in disguise?</I.
There’s an Alaska Native legend about that. In that mythos, it was a woman who stole fire, not man.
How Woman Stole Fire From Raven
Once, many seasons ago, a terrible winter gripped the land. The sun disappeared and The People suffered.
“Oh, if only we had some of Raven’s fire to keep us warm!” said one of The People.
An elder replied, “Foolish one, fire is for the gods, not The People. Raven would surely punish anyone who took his fire.”
The winter worsened, and The People were in desperate straits. Soon they would be in danger of freezing to death.
A young woman declared that she would seek out Raven and steal some of his fire, accepting any punishment that he might mete out, so that her family could survive.
She traveled for many days, until she came to Raven’s lodge. Though she was afraid, she gathered her courage and went in. It was warm inside, and filled with the smell of delicious food.
“Welcome, Woman.” said Raven. “Why do you visit my lodge?”
“I have heard stories about its magnificence, and wanted to see for myself if the stories were true.”
“And are they?”
“Yes, your lodge is truly wonderful! Why is it so warm in here, when it is so cold outside?”
“Ah, Woman. That is because I have The Fire. Behold!”
Raven led her into the alcove where The Fire was burning. It was a beautiful fire — crackling, glowing, smelling of sweet smoke.
The Woman took off her robe and turned slowly in front of the fire, trying to get every part of herself warm.
After a while, she told Raven that the heat had made her thirsty, and asked him for a drink of water.
When Raven went to fetch the drink, the woman quickly picked up a glowing ember and put it in her vagina. She winced with pain, but thinking about her family made it endurable.
Raven returned with the drink. The Woman thanked him, then told him that it was time for her to return home.
Raven began asking her questions about her People and family, displaying a peculiar interest in the doings of every distant cousin, and the most mundane events in her village.
Again, the Woman thanked Raven for being so solicitous, and tried to make her excuses for leaving (by this time the hot coal was becoming very uncomfortable).
Next, Raven asked about the hunting and fishing near her village. He wanted to know how many fish the men had caught the previous year, whether the seals were plentiful, and how many moose and bear the village had killed.
The Woman told him everything she knew (shifting from one leg to the other the whole time), then said that she simply MUST be leaving.
Raven laughed.
“I know what you did.”
“I will forgive you, because you did this for your People.”
“Nonetheless, you must pay a price. From now on, your vagina will always itch. When you have no man, you will wish for a man to make it stop itching. When it stops i
