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.

kirby66...'I'm just another small town , gun toting, religion clinging American who is voting Mc Cain Palen!!'
Please, stop with the 'I'm just one of the people' nonsense. We all are. Stop with the pity party. The fact that many of us would like an educated and skilled person as vice president doesn't make us big city elitists. I own a gun and live in the country and I'm white and heterosexual and I even live in Washington State which is very close to Alaska you know. But kirby66 do you really believe that the Republican Party is the party that stands for the good of all Americans? The entire Republican laissez faire economic philosophy, the entire thing is crumbling around you and we're paying for it and you don't see it? Really?

[BARRY08]

Beca you are right to a point !

of course we should focus on what is good for our country first ........

that is why exposing McCains choice for VP for what it is happens to be very , very important

we had to endure their ugly attacks on a good man like Senator Obama
why not expose his VP for the very things McCain dislikes Senator Obama for

his uniqueness, his youth, his carisma, his intelligence, his elocuence.....

everything McCain is not........

he is used that girl , like he did his first wife, and everyone that comes in contact with him....

country first ???? my foot !!! McCain first and formost.......
he believes he deserves to be President ,

if only for a minute, if only for a month....
who cares what mess he leaves us in when he departs .......

unpatriotic , unamerican !

Catholic priests do not routinely perform exorcisms.

Witchcraft and devil possession is not the same thing.

Each diocese has a designated exorcist. Who he is and how many exorcisms he performs is not know. But my information is very few.

Witchcraft, no. The devil is not a witch.

Sarah Palin just released a statement, it said:

Oop, Eep, Oop, Op, Op
Ting, Tang, Walla, Walla
Bing Bang
Oop, Eep, Oop, Op, Op,
Ting, Tang, Walla
Bing, Bang

[Marly911]

LMAO....That was funny

[ListenPeople]

I need to say that 1) I will be voting for Obama and 2) I think showing this video of Palin is a low political blow and unnecessary. I don't like Palin nor McCain. I really think we are distracting ourselves without any substantive traction. If you know anything about the Christian religions from around the world, then you know that they believe in H ell and they believe in demons and the devil in full with exorcisms performed by Catholic priests and so forth. This isn't a stretch! Move on my fellow liberals and Wikipedia the worlds religions for a quick study.

[Beca]

ListenPeople: I totally agree with you. I think we have had enough about trying to demonize people's choice of religion, church, minister or congregation. We need to begin acting like Ameircans, you know from the country where we enjoy freedom of religion? So let it go. The horrific attacks against Obama during the Primaries were enough for a lifetime, and I would not wish that on anybody else--even horrible people like McCain and Palin.
There are plenty of facts about both candidate's professional records and policy positions hat we can use to call to question their candidacy. We need to stick to the clear and obvious differences between the candidates. Lets not stoop to the low down level the McCain?Palin campaign has stooped to.
Flaming this issue about Palin's former church will only backfire -trust me. McCain's nutty pastor issues was glossed over by the media and the public mainly because the real issue does not have to do with the nutty pastors and the nutty things they say--when Obama was attacked because of his religious affiliation, it had more to do with race and enciting fear based reactions than religion itself. Lets just let this go, please.
We are too close to election day to derail the discussion to this crap again.

[andriadoria]

Just ask any Catholic priest when the last time he performed an exorcisms... It just happens in good horror films.

[OIFmamaVET]

?????????????
Was this before or after she had "Trig". I know in my family AIN'T nobody bout to pray over me to ban witchcraft. This is the 7 SIGNS for sure.

I hope she hasn't prayed over anybody, OMG someone help Bristol.

Peasant 1: A witch! We have found a witch! Can we burn her?
Bush: How do you know that she is a witch?
Peasant 2: Because she looks like one!
Palin: I am not a witch! I am not a witch! They dressed me up like this, and this is not my nose it is a false one!
Peasant 1: Well, we did do the nose, and the hat.
Peasant 2: She has a wart.
Bush: Why do you think that she is a witch?
Peasant 2: Well, she turned me into a newt.
[Belvedere gives him a disbelieving look]
Bush: A newt?
Peasant 2: Well I got better.
Peasant 3: Burn her anyway.
Bush: There are ways of telling whether she is a witch. Tell me, what do you do with witches?
Peasants: Burn them!
Bush: Now, what do burn besides witches?
Peasant 3: More witches!
Peasant 2: Wood?
Bush: So, why do witches burn?
Peasant 2: Because there made of wood?
Bush: So, how do you tell if she is made of wood?
Peasant 3: Build a bridge out of her!
Bush: Ah, but cant you also build bridges out of stone?
Peasant 3: Oh, right.
Bush: Tell me, does wood sink?
Peasant 1: No, it floats.
Bush: What also floats in water?
McCain: A duck!
Bush: Exactly!
Peasant 2: So if she weighs as much as a duck she is made of wood.
Bush: And therefore?
Peasants: A witch!

[Truthdude]

Noooooooo! Lmfao! Ican't belive how insanely funny this is! What's the guys name? Pastor Moosey?

LMFAOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

If this had been Obama in the video, he would have been labeled a witch hunter lover by the right wing nuts but it's palin so she gets a free ride as usual

[ponderonit101]

I just wonder what Sean Hannity is saying about all of this. He should feel like a fool.

ENOUGH!

[ponderonit101]

This is the problem...ignorance answers ignorance. Rev. Wright should not have been paraded on National T.V. and demonized because of his sermons. Now your rebuttal to Palin's Witch Doctor is to drag Rev. Wright in the mix again. Sad and pathetic.

[Jander]

And here is a Pinochi'Obama'sGOD *** AMERICA Rev Jeremiah Wright,
His Pastor for 20 years.

[Beca]

ENOUGH!

[ponderonit101]

Sarah Palin attended her church for about 20 years. The witchdoctor visited her church many times, and he also rid the town of several witches.

[alady]

Chile please, Rev. Wright spin FAILED miserably. Try again.

O'Biden '08

[emily00011]

This video is making international headlines. She's a laughing stock.

[Beca]

Please let it go! We have an important election coming up! we can't allow for more silly distractions to stop us from making sure the best candidate gets to the White House!
Obama/Biden 08

[alady]

Post the links. I'd love to read the feedback. I can imagine the world is laughing at America.

[kapo]

Imagine that was Michelle Obama gettin her anointing on. Anyhow, at least we know she is safe from all those vampires in washington.

[glamorous1908]

Of course the Re-puke-licans aren't going to say anything nor has this story "conveniently" made its way to any of their news stations. This is another scandal they want downplayed and swept under the rug as quickly as possible. Im sure by 10 pm tonight, all traces of this video will be removed from the internet, siting her "privacy/religious beliefs".

If this were Obama, this clip would be played over and over and over again, on every news network, and tomorrow we would hear "McCain ratings are up 15 percent due to video of Obama being annointed by his Witch Hunter Pastor".

Nothing has even been mentioned by on the networks about her being given more time to disclose her financial information.
