... and the only one who would put Obama in charge of that much money is... William Ayers. Obviously you've earned your elitist credentials.
James... "Diplomacy is the art of telling people to go to Hell in a way that makes them actually look forward to the trip." You know who said that?
The Left is all over McCain for being hot-tempered, and now you knock him for not wanting to be confrontational. The Chinese are buying us up. Can't you see that? And your Congress, with an approval rating less than half that of Dubya, is going to let the deadline go by that alternative energy needs for development. Way to stand for what you believe in Pelosi.
I asked what Obama stands for that you believe in, and no one has mentioned a single belief. Large Government, Death Tax, an army of teachers, universal kindergarten, baby's being left to die after birth, radical fundamental Christianity... what "Change" of his do you believe in? And he's the one praising China to the Heavens for the shiny structures.
just pissed off because you lost the Eskimo vote.
This petty nonsense about Palin shows the hypocrisies of the perenially indignant left. "We support women't rights... but not for _those_ women. Who dare choose to have more than the allowed two kids. Especially with the nerve to bring a special needs kid into the world. Why doesn't she stay home to take care of it." This is what's become of liberalism?
She beat incumbents by landslides, cleaned up a notoriously corrupt political machine, fought big oil, all from the outside. And she has said, repeatedly, she has no intension of bringing her Christian views into the classroom. This has been proven in Alaska. How can you say you distrust her Christianity, but not the militant hatred Obama has been soaking up for 20 years?
Has anyone looked, by the way, at the fact that Obamanomics is a ludicrous fairytale? He'll mandate how many million hybrids on the roads? And given that he's also mandating carbon emmissions to pre-Industrial Revolution levels, where does he propose the electricity will come from? Not nuclear energy, obviously he doesn't like that. Oh, how can he "require" the auto and energy industries to do these things? How does he propose to hire an army of teachers and pay them higher salaries... when did these things come under the power of the president? Maybe if he had some executive experience, he'd know that... these promises are not even remotely possible. Maybe for his Marxist Chicago ACORN regime.
'while Inuit describes all of the Eskimo peoples in Canada and Greenland, that is not true in Alaska and Siberia. In Alaska the term Eskimo is commonly used, because it includes both Yupik and Inupiat, while Inuit is not accepted as a collective term...No universal replacement term for Eskimo, inclusive of all Inuit and Yupik people, is accepted...The primary reason that Eskimo is considered derogatory is the false perception that it means "eaters of raw meat"...in Alaska, Eskimo is in common usage, and is the preferred term when speaking collectively of all Inupiat and Yupik people.'
Real comparable, asshole. Go back to your cultural studies class you ignorant f*ck.
All the tabloid-mongers here are busy evoking every sleezy image of the origins of Palin's youngest child their limited imaginations can conjure, M. Moore calls Hurricane Gustav "proof that there is a God in Heaven," and the typical hypocrites worry about saying "Eskimo."
Could you be more out of touch? Obama is... mainstream? Your camp is so far left, on a clear day you may be able to see Hillary's flag in the distance. You have no idea what happens in middle America, and why Americans find these radicals so distateful, that you never get a liberal elected.
His record can't be inflated, unlike his tires, because he has none. But keep talking about "community organizing" and the fact that he was in the senate less than 150 days before devoting his time to running for the presidency... because everyone knows a State governor makes more decisions that allow her to understand executive responsibilities. And that the VP should learn on the job, while the president should not.
And he's not been vetted yet, but now that the library was forced to end the cover up of his relationship with William Ayers, exactly what he stands for is coming to light.
you can really watch the Barackanalia in Denver and say it's Republicans voting on emotion. Amazing. All I saw was a bunch of starry-eyed liberals so infatuated that they refuse to see his shady past, and how inconsistent and nonsensical the vague policy proposals he put forth.
What in depth interview have you seen him in by the way, besides with the doting liberal outlets that cater to him?
Alaska doesn't have a large population, and that means, what? We know who she is, what she stands for, and what she believes in, which is more than you can say for your ticket.
"Funny that Democrats stick with their wives after having an affair. Republicans divorce their wives and marry their mistresses. Considering divorce is the number one reason for the breakup of the American family, Democrats do a better job."
Show me anyone, of any persuassion, lower than the reptillian former candidate John Edwards. His wife is dying.
It's astonishing that you can say Edwards behavior doesn't reflect on his moral and family values. But I have seen here every imaginable double standard used to bash Republicans, with no more thought or intention than to throw out insults. However, conservatives know this just means Mrs. Palin was the perfect choice, and has put Democrats on the defensive.
Obama would never have picked Biden had he been ahead in the polls. And both Biden and Obama now have there own skeletons being dug out of their closets, despite the Chicago machine tactics now running the democratic party.
