Anne Kilkenny, an Obama supporter, currently running for office.......and it appears Mrs Kilkenny has a personal issue with Governor Palin of course the likes of Daily KOS & Huff are still digging as I guess they do not feel Governor Palin has been properly veted yet but think it just fine their candidate of choice has gotten a free pass on everything but his standard fare " he is not the __________ I used to know"

I noticed how many Repugnant Cons were laughing at the poorly scripted, low-blows directed at Liberals in general. The Repugnant Cons were *nasty*. Not just critical, which would be welcome, but downright mean spirited. To see so many people laughing at nasty, low-brow attacks barely masked with humor was disturbing. Though it did make me understand the mind of those typically humorless robots who are happy to embrace a candidate who allowed someone in her Church to blame the Jews for the terrorist attacks against the Jews.

And so did community organizers, who were laughed at by the republican party on national television. What a shameful sight to see.

Yes, and they usually don't spent the money for the "general" public, but for the "generals" of the military.

It is a fact that if you spent all your (tax) money on military, you can't spent it on general welfare, health and education.
But of course, we all know that if you are poor or unemployed, it's always your fault.....,
so, ...who cares...???

She is not alone. I've just listened to McCain's speech. The fact that other than his POW experience, which he described in great detail, almost everything was generalities was to be expected. However, when he compared his platform to that of Obama, he stated at least two outright lies. He said that Obama is planning to raise taxes on average working families, which I haven't heard from Obama, and that Obama is planning to force everybody into a government run health care system, which Obama clearly disputed during the primaries. I just don't get it. Don't Americans recognize lies when they hear them?

What's the difference between a pit bull and a hockey Mom? The lipstick. I don't think I want a pit bull for VP. I want a well educated politically proficient person who is ready to take the helm if needed and that's Joe Biden.

JOE BIDEN: PATHOLOGICAL LIAR AND FRAUD: It was also discovered that, while at Syracuse Law School, Biden had plagiarized a law review article in a class paper he wrote.
Biden said the act was inadvertent due to his not knowing the proper rules of citation, and Biden was permitted to retake the course after receiving a grade of F in the course. Biden also released at the same time the record of his grades as an undergraduate which were C's and D's and an F in ROTC during his first three semesters.
Further, when questioned by a New Hampshire resident about his grades in law school Biden had claimed falsely to have graduated in the "top half" of his class, (when he actually graduated 76th in a class of 85

Hopefully you know that "justmoreofthesame.com" is owned lock, stock, and barrel by the Democratic National Committee. 100% DNC Propaganda web site.
Poor Barry the Boy Wonder and Plagiarizin' Joe Biden can't run against McCain...so the whole advertising campaign is going to be to portray McCain as "Bush III" so that the Obama-siah can run against BUSH instead. That's been the whole steady build up of "McBush" "McSame" and "McClone", etc. Of course, the Dem sheeple will lap it up like the good little Bush-haters that they are.

For the record; McCain's speech was aweful. He looked uncomfortable and didn't say anything of value except; vote for me I was a hero 40 years ago.

Palin on the other hand made 'the stupid people" in the Republican fold happy with "her digs," but said nothing about helping this country.

Great post and useful resource. I love the style of actual quotes followed by the facts. Those facts should speak for themselves, even though they were published by the Democratic National Committee.

Obama the other day said “My understanding is that Gov. Palin’s town, Wassilla, has I think 50 employees. We've got 2500 in this campaign. I think their budget is maybe 12 million dollars a year – we have a budget of about three times that just for the month,” Obama responded.
Reply
Hum I wonder why he left out the fact that she IS the Gov of Alaska?
Would that have made Obama’s experience seem small?
Oh well,
whatever.
Lets see For executive experience Obama has a staff of 2500 and a budget of 48 million per month.
The SOLE purpose of his staff is to get Obama elected.
That what Obama “claims” as his executive experience.
Palin as gov of Alaska has X number of state employees and a budget of 35 billion?
And their purpose is to serve the People of Alaska.
BTW same as a mayor as well, serve the People that is.
So let recap okay?
Obama’s executive experience is to serve Him and Him ONLY.
Palin executive experience is serving the people who elected her over the last 16 years
Would it be fair to say that Obama’s experience is to serve
“Himself”
And
Palin’s experience is to serve “The People”
Is that about it? -

In the ironies of ironies, Obama has about as much government experience as Lincoln had.
Reply
So instead of calling themselves, "The Party Of Lincoln", maybe Cons should switch to, "The Party of the Guy Who Just Wasn't Good Enough For Us."
Cons, you never leave us wanting in the Inconsistency Department.-

The true irony is that the Democrat Party nominated Obama only because he is black and can speak well. There is no substance to him. He votes "present" because he is unwilling to take a position on important issues. Ladies and gentlemen...that is not leadership. Voting "present" only proves that he has no conviction in difficult times.

What a bunch of garbage. Lincoln was a very thoughtful man. He was disturbed by the concept of slavery and worked against it. He worked hard for everything he achieved. He did manual labor while educating himself. He was extremely honest. He became a lawyer and went to the legislature and congress as a representative. He debated the slavery issue with a man who was a who accepted it even though he said he disagreed with it. He lost the senate race but then won the presidency largely by what was reported about those debates.

Obama has never had to work manual labor. He went to good colleges. He worked with organizations that helped people and with organizations in Chicago that were part of the party machine and were designed to get out the vote on the "right" issues. Help in return for the vote. He met Tony Rezco at this time. He then left and went to Harvard Law School. He had very good but not great grades. He was made an editor of the Harvard Law Review and his second year was elected president of it. With these positions almost every editor and president will get some of their papers included in the publication. For some unknown reason Obama NEVER had a paper published. This is a vehicle that these people use to make themselves more sale able to the more prestigious law firms. He graduated magna *** laude but not the top level summa *** laude. With this he could have chosen a top level law firm to go to. Instead he chose to go to the law firm that Rezco used. Two funny decisions. No papers and work for a party machine law firm.
Obama worked his way up the law firm and then an interesting thing happened. He decided to run for the legislature and everybody else running for that seat including the incumbent was declared ineligible because of not enough signatures. He then ran unopposed. That has a slight odor because they all get way more signatures than they need in case of a challenge. His kickoff fundraiser was held at the home of Bill (the terrorist) Ayres. Ayres was in the news a lot then because of his statement that he only wished that he had blown up more buildings. Strange. Another strange choice was the church he decided to attend. Rev. Wright warned him that if he went there the other Black churches would be antagonistic to him. With that warning he went there anyway. He bought his house with the help of Rezco and got a very low interest rate. Another strange decision. He writes letters to agencies for Rezco. He votes against the bipartisan group trying to clean up the corruption in Chicago.

Good question. Why don't you find out the facts behind this hit piece. That will let you know one way or the other. Investigate it. Find the real facts.

Trying to get money BACK from Washington for good causes seems reasonable. Not wanting to spend our tax dollars on wasteful projects also seems reasonable. I could also see supporting something, then getting involved on the inside and maybe LISTINING to the opposition you realize the project is wasteful and you change your mind. Nowhere near as scandalis as AYERS and Wright relationships.

Some of what the article proposes is spin. Some of it is true. Regardless, most of what Gov. Palin said on Wednesday was more of the same old, same old that we have seen from the Republicans over the last 20 years. More spin. More lies. More ambiguity. More hypocrisy.

Why, oh why, can we not just discuss the issues and choose the best candidate based on those issues?
