Though her mother-in-law has doubts.

[atila]

[orangepetal]

I know, especially when you were fooled into believing that they were on our side.

[atila]

hey sarah! are you teaching granpa mccain how to use the "internets­"??...

[reliant1]

lmfao is right!

;)

queensarah is a gift that keeps giving - until he pulls her plug we're gonna enjoy it all we can.

[ebbtide]

Is a woman who enters a beauty contest, sexist? If her only attributes is her physical appearance, and she thinks she is so beautiful, err, what does that sense of love with oneself say? It says to me that women can only be admired for their physical beauty, determined by some old men on a board.

[americangirlfromVA]

palin's pick has angered lefties and that has energized the conservative base more than anything!
go sarah!
God bless America!

[BWonka]

Wrong as always - poor baby....

[reliant1]

not angry. quit lying. evangelicals all roused up - not enough of them to win tho and the indies who are crucial to winning are running to obama.

that is the defintion of happiness.

Why are YOU telling people where to go ? Do you have a problem with democracy or is it liberty that bothers you ?

[levibatgirl]

Now your'e just delusional

[LaFeminazi]

And sent the centrist independants flocking to the Dem's.

[atila]

and bigfoot is real!!!!..­.

[Gould123]

Do you know for sure? Is that all you got! Pic's shows a thousand words!

[orangepetal]

Many who should support loved ones or friends have a subconcious need to not allow someones success rise above their own. I imagine it is well known to people who have to make choices for their success and depend on the advice of others.

[joejoe6357]

Dems... looking issues, you wanted to debate and now you got nothing?

[treklady]

I-d-i-o-t, someone just asked you about Social Security and NOTHING from you

[joejoe6357]

read the response m0ron

[Darkdonnie]

Social security isn't that the one the dems dumped the funds into the general account to be porked at will?

[LaFeminazi]

Yup Yup ready.

[RobertaInCT]

Here we go again, the trickle down theory again.....­.....

[reliant1]

unions and foreign oil corp and toddie. go for it.

[joejoe6357]

Unions are good in theory, but are not working: We tried to pay young smart teachers more money to go into innercity schools. Teachers union blocked it cause they were influenced by the old bad teachers who have been working for 30 years and are the problem.

Foreign oil is(was) cheaper. So we bought it elsewhere.­... now it isn't. Dems are still blocking drilling here.

[macbabe]

social security

[scandals&skeletons]

huh? you must be getting punch drunk from your non-stop posting. Your making less sense than usual.

[americangirlfromVA]

i am making plenty of sense..its just you are drunk with obamOcktai­l..so u wont get it..lol

[treklady]

See his reply to SS issue

CNN Commentary: Obama's confusing blend of left-right economics

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/08/29/navarrette.obamaspeech/index.html

[joejoe6357]

no no no, they don't understand facts and economics thats why they spend there time with insults and lies

[treklady]

joejoe quit replying to other trolls and answer the issue questions given to you, you are proving our point, you have no substance.

[donaldw6]

Can you say "off topic"?

[kdublya]

Easy,

americangirlfromVA is new at this (36 posts)...

...Just like her VP pick.

[ContraEgoiste]

hmmm lets see. How's the Bush's economy working for you so far?? And you want more of McSame??

heh

http://blogs.wsj.com/deals/2008/05/30/obama-vs-mccain-who-has-the-better-economic-plan/

These are likely to be where the most bitter economic battles are waged between the two candidates. Obama toes closely the Democratic Party line with working-class populism, proposing tax cuts for the middle class and (presumably) higher taxes for the wealthy. An Obama administration would also support a capital gains tax on private equity firms and hedge funds. He also wants to extend the Production Tax Credit, which gives tax credits to any renewable energy facility for 10 years.

McCain’s people on the other hand, believe that corporate taxes inhibit growth. He wants to lower the corporate tax rate to 25% from 35% and require a 3/5 majority vote in Congress to raise taxes. McCain wants to keep the status quo on dividends and capital gains.

(snip)
~~~

"McCain wants to keep the status quo"

And what has the status quo done to our economy?? And what has the status quo done the middle class??

~~~

[ContraEgoiste]

(more)

Obama has been very wary of globalization. In his campaign materials, he says he “will fight for a trade policy that opens up foreign markets to support good American jobs.”

McCain, on the other hand, is a fan of globalization.

(snip)

Obama’s support of renewable technologies and manufacturing would seem to win him support in Silicon Valley, as would his intent to roll back Bush Administration technology policies.

McCain, on the other hand, has given Silicon Valley a big, wet, sloppy kiss. McCain likes Silicon Valley: “I am convinced every time I come to Silicon Valley…that is where the future of America is all about,”

~~~

But we know that McSame would continue Bush Administration's technology policies.

[ron071]

The past 8 years have proven the worth of the Bush/Cheney /Republican economic policies. How much sense does it make for 95% of American voters to support more of the same John McCain? McCain's policies will put a stop to your whining and make your prosperity soar again. Ignorance of reality is a mental curse.

[pupbayer]

Interesting article. Thanks for posting it.

[atila]

i think you didn't read it did you??...Ru­ben Navarrete is NOT CNN,is a colaborator,but even if he is a republican he admits in his column that Barack Obama speech was MASTERFUL.­..sorry...

[4wehttam]

This is from a post I read re: a Reuters article, this should suffice re: Yup Yup's credentials as opposed to O's:

" In the US Senate Obama has written 890 pieces of legislation, and co-sponsored 1096 pieces of legislation.

[Gollum73]

" In the US Senate Obama has written 890 pieces of legislation, and co-sponsored 1096 pieces of legislatio­n."

From scratch? Or did he only add his name as one of the principal authors? Want to know...

[reliant1]

can you read?? 890 were fully his. from scratch. 1096 were co sponsors. duh, and now you know.

[scandals&skeletons]

Republicans would rather ignore the facts. Palin has experience hunting moose and abusing the power of the Governors office to which she was elected.

[Candace8383]

Ms Palin ran the state of Alaska

are you aware that
the population of Alaska is ......678,­000 (est.)
the Alaska National Guard has .....1850 troops
the number of Alaskans who voted for Palin is ...115,000

just tell me please are you kidding with this ...is McCain?

[BWonka]

So only 17% of the Alaskans voted for her? That's pretty sad....

[AntiTerrorDonkey]

Joejoe is nothing but a republican cheerleader, pom poms and all. Facts have no bearing on his reality.

[neurologymatters]

The holidays must be enjoyable at the Palin house.

[SCG2]

The Republican Party is loony tunes, and not fit for public office, not even for dog catcher.

[PodiumOwner]

Because a woman is on the ticket they're loony. How perfectly sexist of you.

I thought all you lefties wanted change, someone fresh in Washington? I guess not.

[gopSTEALSyourTAXmoney]

Check out Sarah Palin's political credentials. ENOUGH SAID!

[joejoe6357]

they want whatever their talking heads want. They aren't able to think for themselves because then they would notice how hypocritical everything they say is

[BigFootJesus]

Once again, not A woman, THAT woman.

[americangirlfromVA]

lefties are the biggest hypocrites!

their venom gives conservatives life!!!
go sarah..

[confuseddemocrat]

Sexism? Let me see
Are you trying to say that McCain exhibited the utmost respect for women by choosing an inexperienced female politician with rather provincial views on women's issue over more experienced and qualified moderate republican women in the hopes of luring "low information" female voters?

[joejoe6357]

Alright Dems give me an issue

[macbabe]

social sec

[joejoe6357]

is a poor government program (thx Dems) The baby boomers are too big in number crush the already failing system. Our gov't hasn't kept or invested the money so its all gone, they only way to save it is tax the heck out of us or privatize it.


You choose you want us to pay for it(Dems) or like the smartest investors in the country figure it out (Reps)

[LTinCali]

Envrionment, energy, lost jobs, education, veterans benefits, Iraq, Iran, Russia, Osama Bin Laden....

[donaldw6]

You've already got way too many.

[scandals&skeletons]

oh snap!

[BWonka]

You already HAVE issues as your every sad post proves.

[kay]

MCCAIN: I don't think a constitutional amendment is probably going to take place, but I do believe that it's very likely or possible that the Supreme Court should — could overturn Roe v. Wade, which would then return these decisions to the states, which I support.

That's for OwnsthePodium, who is perhaps the least informed Republican voter on the face of the planet.

[carolinadoc]

Women voting for her is no different than African American voting for Obama because he is black.

[LaFeminazi]

Really, have you read what she stands for?

[kay]

Only if 90% of women vote for Republicans.

Because 90% of African Americans vote for white Democrats, and they also voted for Obama.

[Candace8383]

huh
do you think that ...or rather do you think?

[PoliJunkie]

You know how stupid that just sounded??? Not ALL AA's voted for Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton. Please consider that Obama is a rather intelligent MAN! Palin is well, just a WOMAN with, I suppose, a BA, in Journalism, nothing more nothing less. What classes has she ever taught....­NONE? What were her grades like??? Who knows, the University she graduated from my 15-year-old daughter could probably enroll tomorrow. Please be careful how you make comparison­s...You sound ridiculous.

[ECB]

There were and still are a lot of blacks that like Hillary. Bottom line she (Palin) is a right wing extremist, she will not get many of the Hillary supporters. If some Hillary supporters vote Republican it will be because they like McCain and or hate Obama and the DNC. Most women will not vote for her just because she is female. Go back to sleep.

[LTinCali]

This argument was put to me yesterday but here is the thing. Obama was elected as our candidate, this lady was appointed by one person to woo the woman vote.

I understand that many of us will vote for him because of his skin color, but we are a minority of the 18 million who did vote for him on his JUDGEMENT, skills and leadership.

Sarah was asked, what seems to be on the fly, to run with McCain and as a result, has basically offended more women voters then they seemed to have gained from what I have seen on various blogs so far.

[Housewife]

Sarah Palin, along with all the other Republicans would like to continue fighting a stupid war, take away a woman's right to choose an abortion, deny Americans access to affordable healthcare, and drill their way out of the current energy crisis. What is the appeal here? The policy differences are clear as glass.

[reliant1]

and she's a flat earther...­scary

[Give Peace A Chance]

She makes Bush/Cheney look like real reformers as she is simply following their agenda.

[LaFeminazi]

The free republic basement dwellers are going slightly off the wall over a certain rumour, wink wink, it is somewhat amusing.

Will this clear our beloved overlords?
