Do You Elect Anarchy When You Elect not to Vote?
What's anarchy again? The definition is: The absence of government; a state of lawlessness due to the absence or inefficiency of the supreme power; political disorder.

Watching a US senator and VP candidate reveal his fear before a national audience was quite a remarkable thing. In doing so, Biden provided some much-needed release for fathers.
Palin's answers to these questions showed that she just plain doesn't know what the Constitution says about the office she's running for.
Weeks after Joe Biden's election to congress, his wife and daughter would perish and I would write a note of condolence. Though the letter is long gone, his response back to me has been kept for 36 years.
Though I have not looked, I bet you twenty dollars my 401K looks like the Y2K. Actually, make that five dollars. I have been treating my 01K as I tr...
In his column after the vice presidential debate last week, the New York Times' David Brooks, a man with deep respect for erudition, surprisingly wrot...
During the vice presidential debate, Sarah Palin couldn't resist showing off her knowledge of a new term: "domestic terrorist."
I work with eleven statewide coalitions representing a million people, all fighting for policies that value families at work. Here are some questions we wish Gwen Ifill had been allowed to ask.
Sarah Palin is out of control. This was the one opportunity for us to really see it, and with stronger moderation and Joe Biden going for the jugular we could have seen her go down.
A friend of mine has a 16 year old daughter, with whom she watched the Vice Presidential debate. About halfway through the teen turned to her mom and ...
I know Sarah Palin because I went to school with her. And, in fact, most women did. Then, the Queen Bees or Mean Girls were just that. Now, they're really scary.
Liz Umlas has joined forces with her daughter Rachel to entertain OffTheBus readers with their political cartoons. Rachel supplies the artistic skills, and Liz brings the political ideas.
Many employees, and we number in the thousands, who work on the entertainment side of Fox often feel embarrassed, ashamed, and angry at the blatant, one-sided, dis-informational tactics of the producers, staff, and on-air "talent" at Fox News.
Thursday night' s vice presidential debate that was broadcast in high definition allowed us to see each candidate's skin in an unusual amount of detail.
The economy is about more than just Wall Street bailouts. It's about how we're going to pay for escalating childcare, how we can pull together healthcare coverage for our kids.
Palin is in the driver's seat and plans to stay there. Her take-no-prisoners nasty streak and extreme right wing views have found kindred spirits now that she's fully staffed up with veterans of Bush.
Were she black, Sarah Palin's performance would have been skewered by the right as undignified and demeaning to the office she seeks.
"When we want to make changes, it's not enough to protest or march. We need to contact our congressmen and elected officials to tell them how we feel about issues."
Karl Rove's campaign style, predicated on the assumption that the majority of people are gullible and can be taken advantage of, seems to have gone the way of trickle-down economics.

I prefer a folksy Palin to an Obama who voted a million for a museum for woodstock and the money could have gone to health care for children and pregnant mothers. If you want the same o same o
dont check up on obamas and bidens voting records and McCains. Obama and Mccain are both
giving half truths. Mccain health care plan would pay up to 5,000 for your insurance company. To
the Company and nothing is said about charging taxes on it. I have been doing my homework and
now I will watch the 2 debates left and then I will decide who I will vote for. Do I think Palin could run this country. Probably she could after all since congress and the senate have overide abilities I am sure she couldn't screw up anymore then our Senate and Congress have been doing for years. Iur
Forefathers were very intelligent and they put a lot of interesting things in the constitution to make sure
that our country isn't in the hands of just one person. Maybe we should also check out our congressmen and senators to see how they are voting on bills also. Then you too could make an educated quess on how to vote. But of course if you vote because this is the way my family has voted
for years. You just don't care but at least you vote.
The one happy thought I have about this is that the Joe Sixpack group whom Palin is obviously courting will be so hung over and stupid on election day that they won't get to the polls. They might not know it's election day, they might not be able to find the polls and the directions on the voting machines might be too hard for them. Yea, let's hear it for stupidity. Do they even have polling places in Dogpatch?
LOL!!! You are so right. and she said "nucular"
like Mr. Bush, not nuclear.
Sarah Palin is a detestable example of American womanhood. This is what the feminist revolution produced? Arrogant, maniacally ambitious females with hearts of ice? When she was asked to be vp she "didn't blink." No hesitation. No questioning of her own abilities and experience. Zero. Put her unwed pregnant teenage daughter on a stage, hand her special needs infant to that same daughter, and leave the family heavy lifting to her husband. Did she ask her husband? Did he have any say at all? I consider myself a supporter of women's rights. But I'm also a supporter of human rights.
Palin doesn't even know the meaning of achilles heel! When Ifles asked both candidates what their achilles heel had been in the past, Palin enthusiastically sounded off on her many accomplishments. Now, that's a gaffe that most people missed.
When Palin and McCain talk about "country" they are, like, referring to putting on her fake country folk accent, like how she is goin' to be "shakin' and fixin' the economy" (yep, this is an actual quote, folks).
