And I do, too much so,...this is HORRIFYING. Forget Palin for just a minute, what are we actually bothered by?? Sarah Palin's possible lack of action here, or that it is okay ANYWHERE for anyone to have to pay for their violation and the means by with they get their possible sorry excuse for justice that will never measure up to what was taken from them. Let's all have enough faith in each other that we all can agree: No one, woman or man should have to pay for their own rape kit. It isn't Palin or Obama that invented this. And trust that this is a lecture to myself too, because I have allowed the media and the high emotion of these terribly desperate times to make me lose ALL REASON about who is responsible for what we all have become.

No wonder this ASININE HORRIBLE EXCUSE FOR A GOVERNMENT gets away with SO MUCH BULLSHIT; they, with the help of the media, have us at each others throats, about all the wrong things. Over this past week, as each day passes I feel more and more hopeless and doomed that we are going to blow this election; this democracy, this country, this planet and I'm not sure we don't all deserve it. Damn you Salon, damn all you readers and most certainly and unequivocally, DAMN ME TOO. When we are all warming ourselves on the smoldering ashes of our destroyed society I will know with certainty that we all did this together.

We are all responsible for how bad it's gotten, what we've let happened, what we are allowing to happen now and it burns with an acidity in my heart that is almost unbearable. Under the layers of our prattling homilies to each other, I fear that these next decades are of the most grave importance, and we are going to fail.

I've been freaking out about her, in an almost insane way. You've summed up all the things that were coming out so violently, vomiting angry words, feeling such personal animosity.

Ha!! That's the best joke I've heard on this lipstick/pitbull quote.

And this is very accurate. Obama MUST push his upbring down small town America's throats. The RNC knows just what buzz words make them afraid like "elitist" and "Un-Christian." You can't judge small town Americans for this any more than you can judge "city folk" for having higher pay and agnostic beliefs. We all want to align ourselves with someone we feel understands us. It is imperative that the Democratic party shows that they can be empathetic to the multiple cultures of America.

Nothing is ever going to happen to this man, ever. This administration is going to skip off into the sunset on a road littered with the bodies of innocent Americans and Iraqis , with their pockets stuffed with money.

But did you read the article?

http://www.laweekly.com/2008-09-11/news/you-39-ll-never-be-vice-president-a-letter-to-my-daughter-the-community-organizer/2

It demonstrates just how much experience is gained being a community organizer.

Hitler was never a community organizer in any sense of the definition anymore than the KKK are community organizers ,and the comparison is ridiculous. But, if you want to compare him to someone the majority of people don't like it IS accurate to say that a darling dabbled in community organizing;After his unsuccessful presidential campaign, Pat Robertson started the Christian Coalition, a 1.7 million member Christian right organization that campaigned mostly for conservative candidates. It became, almost instantly, one of the most influential organizations in American politics and one of the largest and most powerful lobbying groups in the United States

You know who else?

Women like Betty Friedan, Jane Addams, Dorothy Day, Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Sarah Palin should be so lucky to be compared to these community organizers, any woman for that matter.

And some prominent men? Martin Luther King, Jr., Sen. Paul Wellstone, John Lewis House of Representatives and let's not forget Lech Wałęsa.

Who is Lech Wałęsa? He co-founded Solidarity,the Soviet bloc's first independent trade union, won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1983, AND wait for it! Served as President of Poland from 1990 to 1995.

I wonder if he would agree that his community organizer experience was useless in his presidential office?

And lastly it is madam Palin who began this debate attempting to appear as though she had more leadership experience than Sen. Obama.

It may not help her cause to be quoting his policies.
