http://anncoulterisaretard.com/- brstilson, on 10/27/2008, -1/+53It's getting more and more apparently that Sarah Palin is the one we should be worried about being the next Bush. She doesn't take advice, goes off-script regularly, doesn't trust anyone, inadequately educated, and is a complete mental midget. It seems to me that she is quite literally a female George W. Bush.
- northwatuppa, on 10/27/2008, -2/+38Well, McCain wanted a maverick. He got one.
Now they're basically calling her a loose cannon. - robdiggity, on 10/27/2008, -1/+38No, McCain wanted Lieberman. As with every other major position he maintained up until a couple years ago, he abandoned his convictions, listened to the "experts," and worst of all believed them.
History is going to have to look back on this guy with tragic sympathy. The conduct against him in the primaries of 2000 was criminal, conduct that was continued and directed at US citizens through the general election in Florida.
Can you imagine what a different man McCain would be, what a different country and world we would be living in, if Karl Rove had possessed even a fraction of a soul? - FemaCampBoy, on 10/27/2008, -39/+2the neocons tried to sabotage her with the stupid neiman clothes. she is fed up with neocon traitors. they are snakes that slither around in the campaign doing everything they can to destroy her. i am fed up with these filthy people. they started the illegal iraq war and now they are ruining palin... and jumping ship to obama their true roots ie communists. what filth. dont fall for cnn's propaganda.

- fakekevinrose, on 10/27/2008, -20/+10Stop plugging your website in every post. Honestly, did you think that people would find you cutting edge or hip with your blog post headline like "Sarah Palin is a Satanist" or "Michele Bachmann is a retard"? You write like a 12 year old HALO nerd. Enough.

My cat is more capable.- boot20, on 10/27/2008, -0/+6That's because your cat hasn't sold it's soul to Satan. Palin is pandering to those she knows best, the bigots and the racists.

- deleo, on 10/27/2008, -1/+11Can you imagine McCain winning and something happening to him - so Sarah becomes the President of the United States? This is pretty unlikely to happen, starting with McCain losing. But the fact that she even got this close scares the sh*t out of me. If she became President, there's no doubt about it, your life would change. We would all be bowing down to Queen Sarah!

- pennsykid2000, on 10/27/2008, -6/+88She's working on 2012 already, as if she had any chance whatsoever to attract serious attention after her disastrous star turn in 2008. She makes Quayle look like an intellectual with gravitas, and his bid for president in 1996 went absolutely nowhere, despite actually serving as VP for 4 years.
- MiserableTruth, on 10/27/2008, -1/+17You hit the nail on the head there. She realizes the McCain campaign ship is sinking and is trying to build her own boat before McCain's is completely submerged. I wouldn't be surprised if she left being a governor and decided to be a senator so she could say she has both executive and legislative experience. Look at what she contradicted him on, or went off script about; 1. Expensive wardrobe: she insists she frugal and insists that she's jut like everyone else in her "Joe Sixpack" real America. 2. Robocalls: calls them irritating which they are, and is something everyone can relate too, again making her seem like everyone else. 3. Pulling out of Michigan: She doesn't believe in pulling out, right Bristol? No, but seriously, this would be for the Republican base, trying to say she might be a stronger candidate than McCain because she wouldn't give up on a place just because they were losing.
Be wary of this woman! Please America, do not allow the McCain/Palin administration take hold of our government. How can they claim to be bipartisan mavericks, when they can't even work properly with each other??- kahoona1, on 10/27/2008, -2/+12The only problem is she was the iceberg that sunk the ship basically...

- TripMoon, on 10/27/2008, -0/+8That more than 2% of the population may vote for McCain is staggering to consider. The stupidity of even the ones profiting from this mess is manifest in the old fable: The goose that laid the golden egg. If you are wealthy in this country, it would stand to reason that you would wish to keep a powerful, wealthy, not socially chaotic atmosphere in order to preserve your wealth and to make more. Instead, even these short-sighted morons will destroy this country, rendering their wealth worthless in the process. What will 1 billion dollars mean when you are hiding in a mansion in fear with guns and security guards, while the revolution threatens you at every turn outside? Helluva job, Bushies!

Hopefully, she will have 4 years to polish up on her "fundamental understanding" From Alaska.- tykwondingo, on 10/27/2008, -6/+2/from the bottom of a well

- aoou4444, on 10/28/2008, -0/+5I'm insulted that she can even be put before us as a candidate of such a high position. How can someone be chosen as a V.P. candidate and then brought "up to speed"? Shouldn't it be the other way? I guess we get what we deserve; likability, to my amazement, still seems to be a major factor in politics in this country.
- SheilaNoya, on 10/27/2008, -5/+136The people waving toilet plungers at her rallies seem to like her.
I suppose it's to show support for "Joe the Plumber", but I find it really hard to take the McCain/Palin campaign seriously when they have made the "toilet plunger" their new iconic symbol of economic policy.
The entire campaign has become a joke.- hayzeus, on 10/27/2008, -1/+9Joe the Plumber? No way!! I thought those were ironic references to the 1974 made-for-tv-movie "Born Innocent". Are you sure about this whole plumber thing?
- twiztidsinz, on 10/27/2008, -1/+19They've got plungers cuz if McCain/Palin get elected this country will be so far in the crapper it wont be funny.
- ultraseamus, on 10/27/2008, -1/+3Ug, I have been avoiding as much political crap as possible (beyond Digg I am waiting until the day before I vote to do all of my research) are there really large numbers of people waving plungers at her rallies, or is it just a couple crazies?
- SheilaNoya, on 10/28/2008, -0/+2There are quite a few of these idiots waving toilet plungers now.
Here's a pick of some McCain/Palin fans who were protesting Obama in Virginia (4 guys & 5 plungers, so I guess they even brought a spare!)

Meh decided to look into the whole "Joe the Plumber" thing. At least he is not an idiot, and actually seems to have brought up solid concerns with Obama's tax plan which I share. Does not justify plungers at a presidential rally, but at least it came from somewhere logical. And I suppose since they are just trying to represent this average guy the opposing party will probably not dare touch them, or use it against republicans. Which is good because I would not a couple idiots with plungers to have any kind of effect beyond their own votes.

- pintomp3, on 10/27/2008, -0/+10it's sad that a fake plumber is a national hero while a soldier like Kareem Rashad Sultan Khan is not. if anything, the crowd at the mccain/palin rallies would call this fallen solider a terrorist.

- cheesegypsy, on 10/27/2008, -2/+34What exactly does the McCain campaign want to say? I'm still trying to find some kind of central message besides, "Don't vote for that guy because he's evil." They have "Country First" emblazoned on every available surface, but it's meaningless because they never built a message around the slogan. Obama says "Hope" and "Change" and no matter what you think about his campaign, those monikers stick and he drives them home at every rally and in every ad, so much so that both Hillary and McCain tried to co-opt the phrase in failed attempts to steal his platform. In both cases, though, they just looked silly.
It's ironic that the military man is the one who completely lacks discipline in this election season, while the so-called radical is unwavering. We are finding out that a senator can be a maverick--a president cannot.- skago, on 10/28/2008, -0/+3I agree 100%. I have yet to hear 1 thing from McCain's campaign. I think America also sees the difference when a few days ago 40,000 people showed up to Obama's rally and 500 showed up to McCain's.

- aaronirwin31, on 10/28/2008, -1/+2She wouldn't wait for him to die. The minute she got the feeling that McCain had every intention of treating her like a pretty face to greet dignitaries and attend state funerals; the second she felt like she was being kept out of the loop; she would go ballistic and turn on him. She would march to the nearest media outlet that would listen and sell McCain out as a corrupt Washington insider hindering her ability to help save America from evil. I'm fully convinced she would turn on him in a heartbeat to serve her own political ends. She wouldn't wait for him to fall on his deathbed.

I hope she's right, because there are far more people on the other side who are smart enough to vote for the other person (or pigeon, or cactus, or WHATEVER would run against her) so that it'll be an easy win for us.- sockpuppets, on 10/27/2008, -2/+241012?

http://www.reuters.com/article/politicsNews/idUSTR ...
"Obama leads McCain by 49 percent to 44 percent among likely U.S. voters in the daily tracking poll, which has a margin of error of 2.9 points. Obama's lead has dropped over the last three days after hitting a high of 12 points on Thursday.
"Things are trending back for McCain. His numbers are rising and Obama's are dropping on a daily basis. There seems to be a direct correlation between this and McCain talking about the economy," pollster John Zogby said."- davidg11, on 10/27/2008, -33/+2When you lose 7 points in the polls in 3 days, it isn't McCain who has the problem.
It's Obama.
The more you cackle about your surefire victory, the lower Obama's poll numbers fall.
No one wants to see Obama square off with Russia or North Korea. PERIOD. They'd eat him for dinner.
Even Biden knows that.- FallenTurtles, on 10/27/2008, -2/+10Obama *would* have to fight them himself since our military is all but running on empty after several years of warmongering tactics utilized by a power hungry political party trying to remind the American people of the one good thing they can still do: kill people.

- secrity, on 10/28/2008, -1/+3538 is saying "John McCain is making no progress in his pursuit of the White House. Our model now projects Barack Obama to win 351 electoral votes to John McCain's 187, and to win the Electoral College 96.7 percent of the time to McCain's 3.3 percent. Both numbers are unchanged from yesterday."
- mwilhelm, on 10/28/2008, -1/+2Seriously, this race should not even be close.
Pros:
Side A: VP: Resounding intelligent male voice for women. P: Law professor who understands community integration, family values and the rewards of hard work.
Side B: VP: HOTTT Female voice for sports fans, hunters and Jesus. P: grandfather time kicks you off his lawn.
Cons:
Side B: VP: Religious fundamentalist who bans books, shoots defenseless wolves from a helicopter, and hates autistic fruit flies. P:grandfather time still bitching about the lawn and now the grizzly bears.
Side A: BLACK MAN.
Looks like race is still an issue guys, otherwise this would not even be close. You can;'t tell me the 20% of the republican supporters in this election closest to the center are supporting McCain because they think he's the right choice.
They support him because he isn't the "uncle-tom socialist trying to give lazy people free money".
What's that saying in politics about projecting your own weaknesses onto your opponent?
It's completely absurd that the GOP can run the country like this for 8 years, and their campaign exactly the same way - complete with its own scandals, disregard for due process, misappropriations, cronyism, firings, bigotry, flip-flops, etc, etc, etc and yet the black guy who has run the most organized grassroots campaign in history without public financing and demonstrated a definitive drive for excellence and achievement is still only ahead by a statistical margin of error.
Are we really that stupid?
Ignorance makes the ***** taste a little sweeter, doesn't it.

Let me get this straight. Zogby gave Obama the lead of 12 points 3 days ago because it was their intent to shed 7 points from that lead three days later in order to bias the outcome for McCain.

http://video.google.com/videosearch?hl=en&q=katie% ... - JoeMondo, on 10/27/2008, -2/+30McCain/Palin is one short story that reflects the whole of what has happened in the GOP.
The old, reasonably intelligent, small government fiscal conservatives needed to broaden their appealto win elections, so they invited the zealous, charismatic fundamentalist whackos into the party.
Like Frankenstein's Monster, they thought they could control the religious right, but the religious right had their own agenda and took over the party for the most part. Instead of the old guard using the religious right to gain power, the religious right used them without hesitation.
And that's what happened with McCain/Palin. McCain thought she'd be a compliant thing - no doubt owing to her inexperience and lack of qualifications. But Palin had her own agenda, and couldn't care less about old man McCain.- gaqua, on 10/27/2008, -0/+18Well said.
"Conservative" has nothing to do with the Republican party anymore. Due to the influx of the Christian Fundamentalists, being fiscally conservative has been tied to teaching creationism in public schools and demanding abstinence-only education before we provide AIDS relief to Africa. Like the problem is that Africans just don't know how not to have sex or something...
I yearn for a day when a Conservative and Liberal can sit down and have discussions together without namecalling or emotional blackmail. I don't want to hear Conservative arguing for Pro-Life, because a conservative shouldn't want government intervention in private affairs. Conservatives shouldn't be arguing against gay marriage because the government shouldn't be involved in marriage at all, marriage should be a religious institution and marriage certificates being offered by the state is an example of government respecting an establishment of a religious practice.
Conservatives shouldn't have been involved in the Terry Schiavo case because small government shouldn't have a place in the hospital to tell people what to do.
But unfortunately, the "Conservative" party has given way to the "I care more about your problems than I do about my own" party. People making minimum wage, people scraping by, and they are voting Republican, against their best fiscal interests, because they believe in Pro-Life or Anti-Gay-Marriage concepts.
These are not Conservative ideals. They're socially intrusive and not the place of government.
The Declaration of Independence states that all men are created equal, and that we have certain unalienable rights. For a true conservative, those rights should extend as far as possible provided that they do not infringe on the rights of another citizen.
A true Conservative believes the government's place is not to coddle or support people, but to protect them from harm both foreign and domestic, both fiscal and physical, and to provide an outlet for those who feel the need to address their grievances with the government itself and other people.- Twag86, on 10/27/2008, -0/+3Finally a conservative who isn't retarded posts something in their defense.(assuming you are a conservative)
The gay marriage issue is an issue because gay people would like the same legal standing for their unions as straight couples. This includes such things as hospital visits and job benefits. - OliveStreet, on 10/27/2008, -0/+3HOLY CRAP! I think of myself as a liberal, and a violent one at that. But you, Sir, can be my friend anytime.
- Rioracer916, on 10/27/2008, -0/+3Well said, for everyone except the super rich and religious extremists, the Republican party is a walking contradiction.
Problem is, if the Republicans ditched the religious right, they'd be smaller than some 3rd parties...so they'd have to ...*GASP* move a little more to the center in order to gain supporters.
Oh no! I guess Governor Arnold was right... - gaqua, on 10/28/2008, -0/+2@Twag86: I'm not a conservative, in fact I'd say my arguments tend to be more progressive. However, I can respect those who are true conservatives. It's a difference of philosophy, really. When we're talking philosophy, there's no need to be rude and argumentative, as amusing as it is.
It comes down to whether you believe in true freedom (anarchy) or a complete fascist commune, or where you are on that scale, really, since very few people would argue for one or the other.
If Anarchy and Fascism are a 0-100 scale, respectively, then current Democrats and Republicans are both ranked in the 70s.
I'm not advocating anarchy - far from it - but I think we need to re-evaluate which laws are necessary to the safety of the group as a whole, and quit worrying about stupid crap that affects a minority, like Abortion laws and Gay Marriage laws.
Why don't people care about issues that directly affect them anymore? We've been swindled to believe that Gay Marriage affects our heterosexual marriages more than tax policies affect our well-being.

But, he said, "She definitely is going to be the most popular Republican in this country when this thing is over."
Jesus, that's sad. Sort of like saying she will be the most popular Fascist in the country when this thing is over...- defwheezer, on 10/27/2008, -0/+2"She definitely is going to be the most popular Republican in this country when this thing is over."
haha- she may well be 'cause there's not very much competition for "most popular Republican". - rblancarte, on 10/27/2008, -0/+3Is this really what Republicans want?
Sure I get that Neo-Con that Rovian politics has brought out want Palin as their candidate, but, really, is she was the true conservative base wants? Look at what a lot of them are saying (Colin Powel, George Will, etc) - the direction that the party is going is not good.
Can the true conservatives steer the ship back to the right course? Or is it too late? - nepidae, on 10/27/2008, -0/+1Maybe this will help end "handling" candidates. All it does is hide what they really will do once they are in office. Personally I would rather someone talk for themselves even if I don't agree with it than say something prepackaged by their handlers which they won't follow through with in office.

Completely un-republican of him! That's why I'm voting for Obama, because Obama is supposed to be liberal like that.
Republicans need to be republicans and stand for republican values. THAT'S the reason they are going to lose this election.
The more the republican base screams that they need to get back to republican values, the more the NeoCons think they need to be more Liberal than the Liberals!
I can guarantee you that Obama would be more conservative than McCain. Hell....Clinton was BY FAR more fiscally conservative than Bush..it's not even close. It's like Bush was the anti-conservative when he completely expanded government across the board! McCain is following in his footsteps backing socialist measures of buying out banks?

You're just regurgitating the stuff I heard on Rush this morning.
Liaf, just like Ashley Todd. - jessehadden, on 10/28/2008, -1/+5We currently have a system of distribution of wealth. The wealth is distributed, in exponentially increasing amounts, to the wealthy. Much of this is because of "corporate welfare," tax cuts for the wealthiest elite, and a regressive tax structure that places more burden at the bottom. (Sure, dollar values are higher for the obscenely wealthy -- but Bill Gates misses a million dollars a lot less than Joe the Fake Plumber misses $10,000). This has resulted in a nation where 95% of the wealth is concentrated in the hands of 5% of the people. This is not freedom.
So, yes, a system of "re-distribution" sounds in order. After all, that 5% can't do a damned thing with their money if the other 95% shrug.

McCain had many qualified running mates to choose from, and although I disagree with them ideologically, Romney, Tom Ridge or Lieberman would've made excellent choices since at least they had experience, name recognition and could pass themselves off as knowledgeable (and in many casews they would be knowledgeable). She is the reason this ticket is going to lose. I think a lot of voters might be able to forgive McCains gaffs and erratic behavior if they felt there was somebody solid to back him up.
Instead the ticket has a VP who has no experience, is a liar, and is patently partisan. She may be able to pass herself off as sensible and intelligent in her home state on the smaller stage, but she is completely out of her league on the bigger stage. If she wants to take a shot at 2012, and the GOP actually likes her better then the other far more qualified candidates, who am I to tell them no? - robthom, on 10/27/2008, -7/+5I totally had a hot Sarah Palin dream this morning.
