Apparently Sarah Palin thinks she is running for President. It’s not her fault really, nobody is very interested in John McCain running for President. In a speech on Tuesday, Palin opened and electrified the crowd. When McCain started speaking, the audience “began murmuring and drifting away midway through a 14-minute speech that was flat and cheerless.” Ouch.
A Palin-McCain Administration

Palin-McCain? I am getting douche chills thinking about it.

The Ice queen from Alaska has shriveled up Magoo’s balls.. Now she is the self appointed head of the ticket.

America loves a cheerleader. That’s how Bush 2 got elected.

Bush had to admit what a TOTAL Disaster he’s been on the Economy, and sounded like Whimpy saying, ” I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.”
Bush also doesn’t hold the country’s purse strings, so he has to go along with the remedies CONGRESS insists upon.
McCain seems to be beligerant squared and playing the Rovian game of trying to win the NEWS cycle with railing against Obama.
Obama is steady today answering questions and reasuring the Market…THAT’S LEADERSHIP. IT MATTERS that you are in the top of your class in Harvard, not Daddy’s alumni beneficiary to get your C+ average into YALE or your Daddy the admiral getting you into West Point when you rank 884th in a class of 890.

She’s the Trojan horse that has laid waste to your Messiah. You know it, the media elite knows it and that’s why you have to smear and besmirch her ten ways into Sunday. Keep it up North east and West coast Obama enclaves. The more people know about her and how she has made Alaska’s economy and prosperity for its people improve, needless to say of the important role they play for our Nations energy independence the more the community organizer(street agitator)Messiah will fade into oblivion back to his Styrofoam Barackopolis.

Try broken-Trojan Magnum, crotchill-y.

Yeah selling the state plane at a loss, billing the state for nights spent in her own home and her 16y/o daughter and husband billing the state for business travel is really helping Alaska prosper Churchill-y.
She is as big a douche bag as John McCain.
CHURCHILL-Y
Obamatrons you’re in denial mode.
Ask your mysterious leader why is he cheerleading this crisis? Who advices him on the economy?

God, aren’t Palin’s 15 minutes up yet? She’s the Vanilla Ice of politics.
bobito
‘She has made Alaska’s economy and prosperity for its people improve…’ That would be a stronger argument if it weren’t the exact opposite of what she did as mayor of Wassila, where she left that tiny town $20 million in debt by the time she was through. Baracknophobiacs should not try to make cases for their cute poster girl based on economics – she has been an economic deadbeat and deadweight. In her astonishingly brief political career, she has surpassed most boundaries of fiscal irresponsibility.
And as the new Palin-McCain ticket implies, her arrogance rivals that of the current president. But hey, she’s kind of pretty-ish, at least, so that would be an improvement over ole Monkey-Boy.
polobear
Yes and once she saves the universe she will just PRAY PRAY your gay away . Yes they all love her because she taxed the windfall profits of the oil company sounds very OBAMAESQUE to me.
Now that McCain has been shown as the faltering old man he is and people have seen the new clown in the circus that has come to town, they re falling away…….
Arrogance yes! now she and her hubby think they are above the law, all her morals are for other people not for her or her family as Charlie put it…..don’t you have a lot of hubris to think you are qualified for this job
she is a russia expert because she can see russia then I am head of NASA cuz I can see the moon
it’s a joke right?

and who engineered the economic meltdown… the deregulators… of who John McCan’t and Phill Gram proudly claim they are

Clearly the major issue in the election this year is economics. The Republicans are trying very hard to change the subject, but it keeps coming back. The great majority of people are worried about important things like jobs, houses, and investments. The Republicans made the mess, and they will take the blame if they cannot distract voters by changing the subject.
For a little actual economic fact, have a look at
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/31/business/31view.html?pagewanted=print
The gist of the article is that,
historically, Republican administrations have caused recessions and destroyed jobs, while Democratic administrations have caused growth and created jobs. The difference is startling, if you have even a rudimentary understanding of percentages. The difference in economic growth is far larger than any possible tax cut. The claim by Republicans that their policies are better for business is just false.
The reason is: If you make policies that help the middle class, then the middle class spends money, retail businesses make money, and that makes a feedback cycle that increases the whole economy. But, if you make policies that help corporate executives and screw the workers, then businesses make more money for a short time due to reduced payroll. But then the middle class doesn’t have money to spend, retail sales decrease, business income decreases, and that makes a feedback cycle that drags the economy down. Basically, “Trickle-down” economics is just a lie, but “Trickle-up” works very well.
For those of you who are concerned about marriage, please realize that marriage is really about houses and investments (and inheritance), not about religion.

And hiring sock-puppets to post in liberal-leaning web sites is just one way of trying to change the subject. If a sock-puppet can get a bunch of people arguing about something else, they have succeeded in changing the subject.

Terrorism, military security, and violence are important, but should all be viewed in economic context. Terrorism is just low-level resistance to military and economic oppression. By using military force instead of communication, and starting wars, and repealing civil rights, the Republicans have tried to seize absolute power. That attempt has greatly increased both risks and costs, damaged the economy, and created an even bigger mess.

Very well said Steve !
I guess we know who the sock puppet posting here is, I wonder whose hand (or how many) is being shoved inside to control him?
Alexa
Marco, I don’t think her 15 are quite up, but she’s down to maybe 10 or so. By the time the election gets here she’ll be over. People who were previously excited by her are beginning to realize that she offers nothing, that she lies and stretches the truth, and that the prospect of a Palin administration if something happens to McCain is a very scary one. I’m much more hopeful about the outcome of the election now than I was a couple of weeks ago.
mark
Alaska newspaper op-eds are NOT pleased with McCain national operatives answering for THEIR GOVERNOR.
I coined the phrase “Bara-Coward” for Palin who first said she would fully assist this investigation…and LIED

I f Cheny got bush elected, america had been watching too many gansterfilms and went for the rat poison.
Face it, in the horrid event that McGoo and Palin got on a ticket everyone would have to were name tags reading their respective titles so that no one got realy confused who was Pres., Biffymaid, etc. and a list of what they could do like “press red button” . oOIf course that would hardly eliminate the problem of no one knowing what was where, if they were Commies, Pinkos etc. Crazoids for Palin’s loves. except that no one in the entire world falls in the demented group which would appeal to her Heiny(there is a catchy Vp title.
God can you see the confusional bunch stagering around wondering if they are in the bathroom or the Oval room. (imagine Palin fisting McGoo in the Biffy!) I guess they would get excused, all things considered.
The crocheted variables of insanity go on forever. One thing you can say is that Bush got the host of criminal activities accomplished and they all got excused because they passed stupid inspection.
With McGoo annd Palin it would be for real moronic.
M Shane
You have to admit that McGoo would look pretty scary in his Mussolini outfit with the short little arms and fat midriff. Palin would just look like a Salvation army worker trust her to grab a tamborine.

For those of you who are concerned about marriage, please realize that marriage is really about houses and investments (and inheritance), not about religion.
So Barack Obama, who is outspoken in his opposition to same-sex marriage, is in favor of making sure that gay people cannot afford houses, have poorer returns on their investments, and get less of an inheritance?
Just playing Devil’s advocate.
