Maybe there is a God. If so, he seems to be tired of being mocked. The Dems have a near perfect convention, brilliantly orchestrated by Obama, like his whole campaign, and well executed by all the principles. Now comes the McCain-Palin convention with nothing but chaos in the heavens and in Palin's family. What a zoo! We've had the chaos of incompetence running our country into the ground throughout the Bush years. So far, McCain seems to offer us nothing but more chaos for however long he's in office if he ever gets that far.
NO WE WILL NOT LEAVE A 17-YEAR ALONE.
You don't get it yet do you? I'm not an Obamatron, an Obamamaniac, a Obamanoid, I'M NOT A DEMOCRAT.
You simple-minded buffoons think that your oh-so-sanctimonious self-righteous insufferable indignation is diametrically aimed at your enemy, the Obama Democrat.
BUT IT'S NOT.
You think that because Barry Hussein is taking the high road that anyone advocating his election is de facto his "boy" and you whine: "But Barry said it t'aint fair, he made rules, lay off!"
In this fight, fair is for losers, loser. After twenty-five years, not eight, but twenty-five years since the advent of the despicable Reagan we, the nation, have endured depredation, economic debasement and cultural repression. You and your ilk squeezed and squeezed and in your oily greed it was never enough so you squeezed some more. You squeezed so hard you cracked us and we cried, we wailed and gnashed our teeth.
But we've healed, we've scarred and we've lost everything and there's nothing left but our backbone and a few miserable shreds of what's left of our dignity.
So we're going to attack you, your cohorts and your enablers. We are going to chew John McCain's flavorless bones and spit the shards back in your pompous and cowardly face. And we will do the same to whomever he puppet master's across the three-ring circus we call this miserable "public discourse" we now have in this country.
We're loose and we're nuts and we don't give a shit. As per the late Peter Tosh, we're a stepping razor and we're dangerous.
We're the Independent Voter and we're going to make you rue the day you embarked on this Great Conservative Experiment, The Denigration of America.
Take that to the bank and stock up on canned goods 'cause it's gonna be a long cold winter.
Nice guy, suffered from Depression. Had some electroconvulsive shock therapy. Got picked to be George McGovern's VP. Lasted about 2 weeks before the news came out and he was replaced.
Sarah Palin will end up as a footnote in the history books.

And you're a supercilious toad with your smugness.
You don't get it either, do you? There IS no point, it's all meta-message and it's flying right over your worthless snark. Whoops, they it is!
Keep your guard moving and wear a fucking cup because my name is Shiva and I've got a score to settle.
Well, metaphorically at least.
P.S. Have a nice day.
Before this primary season, I couldn't have begun to define 'blogosphere'. Now I can at least take a crack: synonym for acid bath, perhaps?
I posted a similar comment on another thread but it fits here too.
Governor Palin can protect her daughter's privacy by releasing her own medical records to confirm the circumstances of Sarah Palin's recent "pregnancy". Then she can legitimately say "leave Bristol alone".
Until the V.P. candidate provides information that convincingly rebuts questions about the parentage of the newborn child, Bristol will (sadly) be the subject of public discussion.
It would be very easy for her to make her medical records public. I believe it will become increasingly difficult for her to refuse to do so. If McCain and his advisors have any sense, they will push her to do it immediately.
end up raising millions to help people during their convention while obama spends millions to cement his rockstar status.
obama first.
She could politely tell Mr. McCain that she has very serious family matters (pregnant teenage daughter on top of a four month old special needs infant) to deal with and withdraw.
Couldn't have said it better Rance. I honestly believe that families SHOULD be off limits and OUGHT to be irrelevant in political campaigns, but there's belief and then there's reality.
Unfortunately, sometimes you have to fight fire with fire. The reek of Republican hypocrisy on this issue is just too ripe to quietly stomach. Anyone who is being honest with themselves knows precisely the kind of behavior we would see from the Republicans if the tables were turned.
We're sick to death of seeing the America we grew up believing in shat upon at every turn and we're not going to take it anymore!
"Please, if anything this is likely to get votes, not lose them."
The right-to-lifers' tone regarding this embarrassing family drama is so celebratory ... they should fly out that teenage pregnancy pact posse from Gloucester.
"(I)f they're not Americans when they're being Republicans, what are they?"
Apparently Georgians, according to McCain.
Anything to win. They know this is a disaster, they can't admit it because it would hurt their cause. So they all have to come out supporting the Palins (celebrating!!!) and their irresponsible daughter.
I have no interest in discussing the pregnant daughter - let's discuss Ms. Palin, who is supposedly qualified to be President. And I get it that she is absolutely opposed to abortion. No need for further discussion there.
OK, so what does Palin believe federal policy should be towards birth control? I also want to know her actions on Alaskan birth control policy, and if, and how, the U.S. should support birth control in foreign, third world contries.
Her answers are much preferred to suppositions. Can SALON handle the assignment?
For instance, the "facts" of Trig were put front and center at the time of the announcement. Therefore, they are an issue because she made it one. When she's doing that to appear to stand for "family values" and the truth of her family's life is that of most people, rather than an ideal that can preach, the ploy deserves to be knocked down.
Republicans stand from a holier-than-thou position till they get caught with what they do in secret--which is nearly always poetically opposite to their public stands--at which point they try to claim they're just as "weak" as everyone else and so forth.
They use the position they pretend to in order to deny a great deal to the rest of us. They should not be allowed that power.
And it was Sarah Palin who did her family a disservice by so blithely agreeing to become McCain's running mate.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
