VP Debate: McCain's Big Gamble Comes Up Snake Eyes
Commented Oct 03, 2008 at 14:04:24 in Politics
“Entertaining in a Danny Kaye kind of way, Palin is enthusiastic and earnest—but no one in their right mind would give this woman the keys to the White House”
Yeah -- You and Whose Army?

“Toddausaurus—
You read Obama's change message as a problem because you are happy with the way things are, and anyone who isn't, is just un-American. Such comments perfectly reflect the McCain/GOP positioning. Why do so many Americans want change, what is their problem, and why would a black American woman have to remind us of the inequalities she's faced - isn't it enough that she got to where she is because it's America? The imperfections of the last 8 years of Washington means we need a no nonsense leader—SO WHO IS THAT? The McCAIN/GOP definition of leadership seems to be one who "dictates" the will of one side, as opposed to one who inspires opposing sides to find common ground and move forward—and that does take courage, for all of us. Being DEEP & COURAGEOUS means working in PARTNERSHIP with OURSELVES and the WORLD at large for the common good—not just for the CONSERVATIVES, the RELIGIOUS RIGHT and the NRA! PEACE, PROSPERITY, JUSTICE, and DEMOCRACY FOR ALL. —THESE ARE AMERICAN VALUES!”

“Wow!
Perhaps stating your position for why you felt dismissed or explain your perspective on why you disagree—might help.”

“A long time ago, I heard someone say in response to the needs of minorities (ANY kind) that it should be up to the minority to define what it is they need.
Sean Hannity targeted what he saw — and revealed his ignorance. Pastor Wright's approach, will change as the need changes. Your response Mr. Ridley, provides the kind of "constructive critisim" needed to help clarify our journey as a nation together, towards recovery from racism. The kind of recovery that Barack Obama so clearly stated for all of us to unite in.
In fact, the proof that Pastor Wright's sermons weren't about advocating hatred, is Mr. Uniter himself, Obama.”

“Mr. Uniter??? You mean like blaming the Iraq war on a fellow democrat? Like condemning a fellow democrat for casting a vote that he himself was never required to cast?? Like saying the GOP was the party of ideas, when the dems were not. (inferrence toward the Clinton presidency)
Like bringing up old racial issues that no longer exist on a governmental level??? How does this "unite," anyone????
George bush ran as a uniter too. Look how that turned out.”

“What gives? Is this a race for the Presidency or a Miss America Pagent? "Okay Hillary, you can be second runner up." PLEASE!!! Think of the connotations for either of them. The first female or black (both historically second class citizens) would-be president gets rewarded with 2nd place for their efforts. Oh yes, it makes so much sense if you only have tunnel vision and think it will magically unify the party -- but don't you see how one of them would wind up being impotent? I could go on---arggh I just find the thought so revolting on so many levels ----STOP THIS NOW!!!!”
