Re: McCain and Palin BARELY graduated college!
WoW. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! It's amazing that Palin even got elected GOVERNOR never mind selected as VP! No wonder she doesn't know anything and they both seem fairly, um, well, unsophisticated (to be kind). I know who I'm voting for!

Re: McCain and Palin promote RAPE...bear with me......
Also, no comment on the other accusations? McCain did make a rape joke, did criticize Obama for trying to prevent kids from being molested, Palin does advocate banning abortion in cases of INCEST and RAPE (even incest and rape of a child, she specifically answers in regard to a 15 year old girl AND her own daughter). Come on here, am I ...

IT'S ALL ABOUT COLOR!
This presidential race is all about color! How easily we forget history! How quickly the hard lessons of the past are faded away. McCain and Palin's ''disagreement'' is nothing more than a tactic to steer those not able to think on their own, away from what is really happening. The color issue. Trust me...it's all about color. RED, ...

The attacks won't work because people have made up their
minds already. The people who have strong favorable opinion of a politician or anything else will rationalize or ignore any attack, while those who have a strong unfavorable view will take the slightest thing and think it proves them right. It is human nature to reinforce your strongly held views and thus attacks on Teflon politicians ...

McCarthyism Lives
As a former Wisconsite of over twenty years it pains me to see the polarization in ths country and particularly in my birthplace. When I read this article images of Sen. Joe McCarthy (an infamous Wisconsin blowhard) crossed my mind. Socialism? This is the harvest we reap when people like Mr. Bush, Mr. Cheney, Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, Sean ...

Dear Fellow Voters
Dear Americans Obama talked about the need for holding those responsible for the current financial crisis accountable. But he didn’t include himself, his leftist friends who turned the mortgage industry into another failed welfare program, his campaign advisors who stole tens of millions from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac before jumping ship to join ...

You Can Put Lipstick on Obama - But He's Still a Socialist!
Democrats have spent weeks accusing Gov. Sarah Palin of lying on her remarks and attacking Sarah as a bad mother and comparing her to Pontius Pilate, Islamic radicals, a whip-wielding dominatrix and to ''lipstick'' on a pig. Obama has been rattled and flustered in the weeks since ''out-of-touch'' McCain picked young Sarah Palin for VP, eclipsing ...

Focus on Supporting Obama
I'm wondering... when will Obama supporters be as vocal about how Obama's policies will improve our country rather than being lost in the distraction that is Sarah Palin? We actually have an opportunity for real change in this election. More people feel enfranchised because of Obama's nomination. We have a chance to united our country and take ...

Not a serious candidate
Nice article, and I agree entirely. But if Palin is not a serious candidate, what does that say about Obama? Sure, McCain may be old (notwithstanding that his mother is in her 90s and still going strong), which means that Palin could be far closer to having to step into the president's shoes than any VP in a long time. But there is no question ...

Appalling "Fun"
That Dickerson finds it ''fun'' to thrust a 17 year-old facing a major life challenge onto the world stage is appalling. Are we to understand an implication that - if it weren't for her daughter's pregnancy - then Palin would be accepted by the left as a credible vice-presidential candidate? Hell, no! After all there's troopertasergate and all ...
