Thousands of years later and still few have figured it out, even though it is hinted at in the term "Judeo-Christian".

Jesus was a Jew in race and religion and his mission was to extend the Jewish religion, which he did a pretty good job of. All Christians are Jews, not in race but certainly in religion.

You really are comparing a guest speaker who spoke once in a church, with a preacher and church Obama followed, supported and attended for twenty years until dumping them when they were hurting his poll numbers????????

This does not show republican hypocrisy (which there is plenty of) but shows the wheels are coming off the wagon for a lot of people.

Palin is the one saying Alaska should vote on secession. Palin is the one implying that Alaska can go it alone. How is it unfair to point out that Alaska benefits more than almost any other state from being part of the Federal union?-- Lynx

Palin have never asked for Alaska to succeed, you demonstrate either proud ignorance (I thought only a conservative red-neck trait) or wholehearted support of the moral imperitive for lying in politics (I thought only a Rovian rule).

To only but the dim-witted, raw-numbers are meaningless, it is important how the federal funds are spent. Federally funding projects that benefit the entire union (ie military projects) are different than individual entitlements. I remind myself that people may only stupid when it comes to politics but may be competent in other parts of their life.

Since Palin was selected, the amount of distortion, sexism, lying, smearing and mis-representation would make Rove proud. Nice to know the "progressives" answer to Rovian politics is to out Rove Rove.

I wouldn't call that change. I'd call it plagerism.

"If Obama cleans McCain's clock in the debates -- and Obama's feisty calling-out of his rival in his acceptance speech..."--Gary

Obama has been running away from debates or one on ones with McCain of any kind since the end of the Dem primaries. I guess the Kamiya joke is that running away from an opponent makes you "feisty". Yep that sure is funny. A good comedy bit for Gary would be Obama cleaning McCains clock by hitting him over the head with a "Change we can believe in" teleprompter.

It also is grand comedy for progressives who supported sexism in the media and Obamas campaign against Hillary to be "insulted" or accuse McCain of sexism because he placed a women potentially one step away from the most powerful position in the world. How awful, no progressive would ever do something remotely like that.

Too funny. The world is burning and democrats are polishing up their comedy act.

Continuing on the Democratic entertainment theme, Obamas convention stage is being sold to a Las Vegas casino to be used in a burlesque runway show...

Palin has a few things neither McCain, Biden, or Obama have.

One is executive experience - limited but better than ZERO.

Another is she has incredibly high job approval ratings within the state she presides. The lackluster senators are part of an organization that has job approval ratings just slightly above ZERO.

She currently has the power of her convictions, which as soon as the other bozos started running on the national stage they suddenly became chameleons changing their convictions to fit the occasion. We'll see if this happens with Palin.

Finally in one way she is similar to Hillary, in that she has more balls than Obama.

"For the sake of your loved ones get over it and just stay home on Election day. Let the rational people make a choice for once." -- Goodadviceguy

Let the rational people make a choice for a change? And who would that be?

Maybe after the right wing nut jobs deport the Africans back to Africa and put all the gay people on a desert island in the pacific, idiots like you can send the non-rational people there too. So the country will be left with only your dumb-ass self-exalted selves.

Better idea. Stick a rocket in your ass and shoot your self to the moon.

It is cute, the gnome and the idea of elitism being proportionate with how much money you make or have. But it is out of touch with reality. Both McCain and Obama are in better shape financially than 90% of Americans.

People are in America to get opportunities, to make money, to get a chance at becoming rich. That is not elitist, it is fundamental to being an American. Being elitist is thinking and talking to others like you are better than they are, more profound, smarter, deeper, and wiser. Good luck with that.

Maybe if Obama tries harder he can create a class war between the rich and middle class as he has done with the young vs. old. There is some worthwhile "change to believe in".

Just looked back at the gnome, he puked on his shoes.

...is completely unreliable and 100% geared towards ratings, which is as we know drives the prices for advertiser access to us viewers.

Without the internet we 'd be screwed in terms of having access to information.

Many want Obama to go negative, (must have been out of town everytime Obama called someone or another a racist). So I guess they mean go more negative. Which is fine, going negative works more often than not and to supporters fits in neatly with Obamas message of the new politics of hope.

Suffice it to say no one is "winning", but it all comes down to the slogans, with "Straight talk express" battling "Yes we can" to the bitter end.

Well at least it's not "Straight we express" vs. "Yes we can talk" or even worse "Yes talk express" battling "Straight we can".
