Mccain And Palin

New York Times:

After a turbulent week that included new disclosures about Gov. Sarah Palin and signs that Senator John McCain was struggling to strike the right tone for his campaign, Republican leaders said Saturday they were worried that Mr. McCain was heading for defeat unless he brought stability to his presidential candidacy and settled on a clear message to counter Senator Barack Obama.

Again and again, party leaders said in interviews that while they still believed that Mr. McCain could win over voters in the next 30 days, they were concerned that he and his advisers seemed to be adrift in dealing with an extraordinarily challenging political battleground and a crisis on Wall Street.

The tr0lls remind me of the true believers in the final days of teh Third Reich.

They honestly believe that der Fue.hrer has a secret weapon that will be released and win the final bat.tle.

i think its just outrageous that none in the media is talking about sarah palins abuse of power! it pisses me off beyond belief that shes going to get away with this! why is the media apparently not concerned about this abuse of power as govenor? shes talking about expanding the powers of the vice president! if she will use her power as govenor to pursue her personal vendettas, whats to stop her from the same as vp? it should scare the hell out of people to think about her as vp! its scary also to think about how much power her husband todd had in alaska! isnt anyone concerned what he would do if she was vp? i think its such crap that no one in the media is talking about her and her husbands ties to the alaska indepence party! wtf! they want to rip one of the stars off our flag people! why is no one talking about this?the media is so wrong to help mccain smear obama by always talking about ayers, but refusing to report on all the dirt on sarah palin and mccain! how are they getting away with this? people should be really terrified of a palin /mccain presidency! im so sick and tired of ignorant bigots, that turn a blind eye to the truth! what the hell is wrong with people?what the hell is wrong with the press? how can people be so blind and ignorant? it just baffles me!

At this point in the game the McAin campaign is the living embodiement of the phrase "guilt-by-­associatio­n"

Their serial lying and fanning of race hatred is beyond dispicable. Screw you McCain/Palin, you are a DISGRACE TO AMERICA

This isn't a presidential race any more, it's a reality circus!

With the headlines reading "Global Financial Meltdown", Sarah is dropping the puck at hockey games and blabbing about Ayers and Wright leaving any serious person to believe that the republicans are air heads.

it is approved.

They are cowards. I called the FBI and gave them the names of the ra cist, threat ening posters and they said they would take immediate action.

Here is a question that Senator Obama can answer. Since Obama wrote a dustjacket blurd on Mr. Bill Ayers book "Fugitive Days", is this association also a literary one?

It seems that William Ayers might likely be the "ghost writer" of Obama's book, "Dreams of My Father."

What is a "blurd"?

Do you have a literary association with Palin?
