Posted By Aidenag 1 year, 4 months ago in NewsThe July firing of Alaska Public Safety Commissioner Walter Monegan by Gov. Sarah Palin , who was announced as John McCain 's running mate on Friday, has unearthed a stream of soap-opera-like details about Palin, her husband, her family and top state appointees. The controversy has also cut against Palin's reputation for holding an ethical line and standing up to colleagues in the Republican Party over matters of principle.

Thanks for the reminder, Aidenag. I think the only explanation for this pick is that the McCain camp has already discounted getting the vote of anyone who is paying attention, especially those who use the internet or watch Stewart, Colbert or Olbermann.

McCain claims Obama 's background in constitutional law ,terms in state legislature, and the US Senate are not enough experience for executive office but picks someone under investigation for abuse of office (which she only has held 18 months?)

May fool a couple morons who wouldn't be voting for Obama anyway, but what does this say about his judgement? This pick is good news for Biden and Obama. -

Your "Community Organizer" Candidate:

Obama Meets Acorn
What has Barack Obama got to do with all this? Plenty.
Let’s begin with Obama’s pre-law school days as a community organizer in Chicago.
Few people have a clear idea of just what a “community organizer” does. A Los Angeles Times piece on Obama’s early Chicago days opens with the touching story of his efforts to build a partnership with Chicago’s “Friends of the Parks,” so that parents in a blighted neighborhood could have an inviting spot for their kids to play.
This is the image of Obama’s organizing we’re supposed to hold. It’s far from the whole story, however. As the L. A. Times puts it, “Obama’s task was to help far South Side residents press for improvement” in their communities.
Part of Obama’s work, it would appear, was to organize demonstrations, much in the mold of radical groups like Acorn.

In any debate on any subject Obama and Biden will tear these 2 to smithereens.

Of course they don't own the companies that make the voting machines and count the votes.
(Only the state of Missouri has an independent board to tabulate the votes now, the rest of the states now "outsource" the task . Most often to the companies they bought the machines from.)
Was it Stalin who said something to the effect "he who counts the votes wins the election"? -

Liberal media bias again. They are just trying to embarrass Sarah Plain with their lies.

We need her. We need her to be President, not just Vice-President.
We need her to stand-up for family values; stand against the purveyors of filth and birth-control (I call it murder). Stop the sodomites and the baby killers. Fight the heathens and lead a crusade in the name of the Lord.
