When Gov. Sarah Palin flew home to Alaska for the first time since being named the Republican vice presidential nominee, she brought along at least half a dozen new advisers to conduct briefings, stage-manage her first television interview and help her prepare for a critical debate next month.

And virtually every member of the team shared a common credential: years of service to President Bush.

From Mark Wallace, a Bush appointee to the United Nations, to Tucker Eskew, who ran strategic communications for the Bush White House, to Greg Jenkins, who served as the deputy assistant to Bush in his first term and was executive director of the 2004 inauguration, Palin was surrounded on the trip home by operatives deeply rooted in the Bush administration.

In CRISIS can we stand FOUR MONTHS of a POWERLESS PRESIDENT and VICE PRESIDENT?

No! They can not control Their OWN REPUB HOUSE and They are causing MORE DAMAGE!

We MUST START IMPEACHMENT HEARINGS and THE CHARGES ARE:

1. False Statements to Congress and the American People regarding IRAQ.
2. Non-Regulation of Stock, Bond, Banking, and Oil.
3. Non-Enforcement of SEC Rules on "Naked Shorts" that drove Companies to Bankruptcy and Merger.
4. Excessive Leveraging of Oil Market to Force Oil to Record Highs.
5. Non-Regulation of Mortgage Industry that lead to "TRICK" Loans and lost homes.
6. Non-Regulation of Derivatives which combine HIGH RISK LOANS together and Sell as Low Risk.
7. Non-Enforcement of Rules and Regulations in ALL INDUSTRIES.
8. Excessive Executive Pay for POOR PERFORMANCE.

There is literally REAMS of INFORMATION including Video, Audio, Text, Phone, and email evidence to convict these perpetrators.

All DEMs - get out and work extra, extra hard for those votes. I've printed President Obama's policies (www.barackobama.com) and have passed it on to my co-workers, family, friends, neighbors and my hairdressor has it on her work table for her clients to read. There are lots of ways we can help spread the work. We cannot and will not allow another four years of McSame and his croonies.

John McCain wants to mention Rezko, however wants to hush up his past and ongoing scandals. John McCain forgets about his illegal Arizona land deal with Stephen Betts (SunCor Development). Also, Judicial Watch has filed a lawsuit through the FEC, against John McCain and his illegal fundraiser that was held in London, on March 20, 2008. Also, McCain wants everyone to forget all about these shady dealings: "John McCain: Are His Backers Out of Prison?"

Just more of the last 8 yrs.
Wake up America, there are only 2 choice. Think real hard before you decide.
If the best you can come up with to vote for JM is that fact that Barack's skin is darker then yours, then you have a real problem.
