why be ashamed that she wanted to clean up her town a little? why be ashamed that she wanted to ban some books or encourage teaching a completely false theory as science? why be ashamed that she courted Alaskans (hubby included) who thought the state might be better off on its own?

And why keep regurgitating lies?

Factcheck.org: Sliming Palin | Newsweek Politics: Campaign 2008 | Newsweek.com

"She did not demand that books be banned from the Wasilla library. Some of the books on a widely circulated list were not even in print at the time. The librarian has said Palin asked a "What if?" question, but the librarian continued in her job through most of Palin's first term."

"Palin has not pushed for teaching creationism in Alaska's schools. She has said that students should be allowed to "debate both sides" of the evolution question, but she also said creationism "doesn't have to be part of the curriculum."

If there is dirt, they will find it.

"Democrats have airdropped a mini-army of 30 lawyers, investigators and opposition researchers into Anchorage, the state capital Juneau and Mrs. Palin's hometown of Wasilla to dig into her record and background."

thank you kindly.

If I were there, I'd buy you a nice, big plate of Texas brisket and smoked sausage, and a tall, frosty Shiner Bock as a token of gratitude - if you're into that sort of thing, of course.

Yes on all counts.

Remind me again, who is Obama’s opponent in the election? I thought it was McCain. :birgits_giggle:

This does show the pure genius of this move by McCain.

Obama on the other hand, well his VP has done what for his campaign so far?

I think Palin will control McCain's election results. Everyone is so focused on her right now. She's the enigma. Everyone knows everything about McCain, which I think is a bad thing. She'll end up saying something or regretting she had done something and all will fall apart.

At this point, everyone knows enough about Obama and Biden... kind of.

What is interesting (maybe interesting) about her social conservatism stances is that she doesn't have a record of promoting those issues through programs either as mayor or governor. Her governing actions are more aimed at economic issues.

what's so sad is that HUSSEIN obama has been campaigning for almost 2 years and we don't know anything about him. besided his short senate carrier. however, in one weekend there has been more crap thrown at palin, rumors, accusation. it's pathetic, but she's weathering well. the press is so biased and so scared of this woman. libs should be tried for treason.

BPV vs. the Brookings Institution.

God, I admire you.

are you really trying to pretend the Brookings Institute is some non-partisan outfit with nothing at play here. Hold up think tanks like that all you'd like, but it doesn't change how those studies were done or how they arrived at their very dubious comparisons.

OBTW, it isn't about me. It's about the fact that you want badly to believe what they're putting out, even though you know intuitively it's untrue. I know it's hard to question things you don't understand, but do some homework. Look into the assumptions that drove the drivel you linked.

Otherwise, you're destined to continue posting weak responses like the above.

As a Obama supporter (starting to question that) I have to agree with this. Biden was a horrible pick and I believe it will cost him the election. He needed Hillary to get him over the top and instead he picked the politics as usual in Washington boring old man. I guess this plays into Hillary's hand for 2012. McCain did what he needed to do to get the undecided vote.

That also describes John McCain.

Maybe, the only difference between McCain and Obama is that McCain has a pretty well documented history of reaching across the isle to accomplish the work at hand. Obama has shown us nothing like that.

Further the Palin pick also shows the willingness to think outside the box and stay away from politics as usual. Obama's pick of Biden shows exactly the opposite.

I think a major difference is McCain's history of voting against pork-barrel spending compared to Obama’s

McCain supporters don't have much room to talk here - McCain has voted less than Obama over the last year or so.

agreed.

However, McCain has a history by which we can judge where he shakes out on almost every issue. Obama's strength today is that he has no history upon which to judge so he can pretty much freely espouse any policy which might garner him votes, whether he believes in them or not.

I think his 97% voting record along party lines provides a good indication of his policy views.
