    facts are really inconvenient sometimes. for palin, it's probably most of the time.

    her advisors have a lot of work to do.

          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.

            I don't know what you are saying, O "I'm not a Muslim". Sounds like you are kind of in agreement with Michael Savage. Well, I use to be in agreement with that guy myself, until today.

              Sorry. I don't know who Michael Savage is. But if he's someone who thinks that a Jews for Jesus, Messianic Jew that claims Terrorism is God's Judgement upon Jews for not being Christian is a completely, deeply offensive nutjob then I certainly agree with him on that.

              Furthermore if he thinks it's truly frightening that Sarah Palin happily listened to this nutjob not once, but twice with the latest time being two weeks ago then I also agree. It's terrifying. If she's so intelligent, strong-willed and willing to take a stand, then she should have walked out of that church or stood up and denounced such hateful, racist anti-Jew, anti-Israeli rhetoric.

                Michael Savage thinks that Limbaugh, Hannity, etc. are liberal.

                It is obvious that you do not understand anything about eschatology. He is taking a verse where God says he will chastise his people until they turn to him. At the present time most Jews in Israel are not religious. His assertion gets all bound up in prophesies.

                You and others are the ones that do knee jerk reactions to things you don't understand.

                  Savage is the one who said there is "no such thing as autism" and "it's the mothers' faults for causing it" and "the mothers with autistic children are whiners just trying to get money."

                  TYPICAL EVIL REPUBLICAN that they all listen to and follow.

                  The Neocons were lauding him as a great leader and spokesman of their "movement'" just a year ago.

                Dion - Obama has absolutely no sense of humor.

                He wouldn't know a joke if he saw one.

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

                      I hope that all community organizers get completely up in arms about her comments about them last night. Let's see the Republicans explain there way out of those comments.

                      Umm, well, er, what we ahh, meant was, er, Obama's community service was irrelevant not everyone else's! Yeah that's what we meant!

                          Sure - community organizers - people who register voters and get them to the polls.

                          Women have been doing this for years - and how many women would YOU like to see president!!!!

                            I have no problem with a woman being president or vice president. Just not Hillary or Palin.

                            All the Republican supporters (stupid people) keep talking about "a dig here" or "a good zinger."

                            What happened to the Bush failures and the future of our country?

                            Are you people cannibals as well?

                        Yeah, I was confused by all the Republican rhetoric, last night. They acted like they were trying to unseat the current party in power, but hasn't it been the Republicans in control of both the Presidency and the Congress 6 of the last 7 1/2 years?

                        The Republicans have outspent the Democrats in every administration since WW2. Fiscal responsibility and small government? They may want the government out of your business, but not out of your private business.

                          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.

                          The Republicans have outspent the Democrats in every administration since WW2. Fiscal responsibility and small government? They may want the government out of your business, but not out of your private business.

                          I thought she was very charming at the convention speech.

                          Too bad she has such a stronge aversion to telling the truth.

                            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.

                            You may be surprised how many women there are in this country who have put in their time in PTA and parents' clubs.

                            Did you know that women control most of the money in this country??
                            They go shopping for food, clothing, buy gas, pay household bills., and arrange vacations and trips.

                              What's the difference between Joe Biden and a pitbull?

                              1) The hairplugs.
                              2) Pitbulls eventually let go.
                              3) Depends on the owner.

                                    I believe this quote is from you, written TWO MINUTES before this one:

                                    "Such a well considered thoughtful response to that comment. Typical liberal method of discussion. Why bother with real thought when it is so much easier to just insult people. That way you never have to think."

                                      Yep. Here I did an ad hominem attack against another ad hominem attack. This one seems to thrive on them. At least I tried to put some humor in it because he said Conservatives are not funny.

                                        Hatefulness is NOT humor, Repub.

                                        Like you guys laughing hysterically at mean stuff that's not funny; you sound like a movie villain to everyone.

                                You do realize, I hope, that Joe Biden was brought in to be a 'pit bull'. They only wanted him because he's a good attack dog.

                                I just thought I'd point out the hypocrisy.

                                      read it again. this time without the blinders.

                                      cause everything is sourced.

                                      neo strikes again.

                                      and you simply can't handle the truth.

                                        Here's a good source for the truth:

                                        http://www.cityofwasilla.com/index.aspx?page=136

                                        It's a documents section from the city of Wasilla's website. You can find cool PDF's there that show how the library never banned or censored a book or had any such request from Sarah Palin.

                                        There's even two that show how she lowered property tax rates but increased property tax revenue.

                                        What else? Oh yeah - election totals.

                                        You should check them out.

                                        Can you handle it?

                                          ...she also went to 5 college/universities in 6 years. I suppose that it was good that she at least decided to finish and receive a degree from one of them.

                                            wow.

                                            lovemylibs shoots herself in the foot again. big surprise.

                                            the document that links to the page you gave me DOES NOT prove your point. all it says is that no books were ever officially banned. it does not mention requests or discussions on the subject. nothing.

                                            which means that it doesn't say, in any way shape or form, that Sarah Palin never requested or discussed banning books.

                                            so on this one I'm going to have to go with Time magazine, as well as Wasilla's ex-mayor, and Wasilla's library director at the time Palin was mayor, who said, "This is different than a normal book-selection procedure or a book-challenge policy. … She was asking me how I would deal with her saying a book can’t be in the library.”

                                            thats a first-hand account. an eyewitness.

                                            meanwhile, all you have is a document written by the current mayor's office stating that no books have ever been banned by the Wasilla library. nothing in it exonerates Palin. nothing.

                                            so yes, I can definitely handle the truth.

                                            and you obviously are steeped in massive denial.

                                              There is nothing to exonerate her for, which is what I was saying. There are four requests shown at the bottom of the page you are talking about. Further research shows that none of those requests were from Palin. Those are the facts, NWM.

                                        Great Post Neo, hopefully this woman will bury herself with the dumb comments coming out of her mouth. I hear nothing about what she can or wants to do for the country, just bashing Obama, that tells me she is totally unqualified to hold any office.

                                          Now is the time for you to think about the person Obama chose to be his running mate:

                                          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

                                            Actually, Soros probably chose him, because Biden would follow orders.

                                          I see the babies lining up to whine and cry...boo hoo hoo.

                                          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.

                                          LOL!!!

                                            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.

                                              I agree that John McCain's speech was awful. It was full of generalities, a few lies and, of course, his POW experience. Shivers were running up and down my spine as he promised to work for peace and keep America and the world safe as we stand with our Georgian brothers against Russian aggression.

                                                Is he going to work for Georgia? Or US?

                                                He can bloody MOVE to Georgia if he loves them so much.

                                            When the 38% popular vote comes in for McCain, we'll knoiw exactly how many people we have with a 3rd grade mentality.

                                            Bwahahhaa!

                                            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.

                                              What really messes with my alleged mind is that all of this information has been dug up in a week or less. McSame had 3 MONTHS to get this same information. This guy isn't as smart as he looks.

                                                  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.

                                                  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.

                                                    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.

                                                          At least Obama can REMEMBER what he has said and done.

                                                          Unlike poor old McCain...

                                                          When Reagan couldn't remember we got the treasonous IRAN-CONTRA law breaking scandal by Reagan's "people."

                                                          Same thing will happen when McCain can't remember just a little bit more than he can't remember already.

                                                          Problem is, WE ALL remember...

                                                          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.

                                                            He supported Rezco and the Daley machine. He voted against the born alive bill three times leaving it ok to let a baby die that was born alive after an abortion attempt. I personally don't know why these people are not charged with murder. Putting a living baby on a shelf or in garbage and let it die. His tenure as a legislature was a person who voted present more than taking sides on many issues.

                                                            Then you try to compare this man to Honest Abe????????

                                                            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.

                                                              I'm still surprised that the William Ayers story hasn't surfaced...it's still being buried and I don't know why. The later it takes for the story to come out, the more harm it brings to the Obama campaign.

                                                              I'm almost certain it will come out big. I'm just not sure when.

                                                            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?

                                                              Do we really want a VP whose foreign policy experience is related to Alaska "being next door to Russia" or a "leader because she led her basketball team to the state champs"....or that she is "strong" because she got on a plane in labor with her Downs syndrome child to fly all the way back from Texas to Alaska ( I call that blatent disregard for your unborn child and pure stupidity) because problems can be handled at 30,0000 feet....

                                                                  What a bunch of garbage. The left is going bonkers and trying to smear her mostly with lies. This story is a real hit piece with mostly twisting things by taking them out of context.

                                                                  The liberals must really be afraid of her or they would not put this much effort into a smear job. There is story after story on this site doing this. Things range from complete lies to twisting facts out of shape and ignoring other parts of the story. Typical of neophile stories.

                                                                  For example as Mayor she cut the budget and reduced real estate taxes. Then there was a need for a building to be built. That was a big ticket item for that town and she put in a temporary sales tax to raise the money to pay for it. What was reported here? What the money was vetoed and that she raised taxes. She was so hated for those actions in that town that her second term she won by a 3 to 1 margin.

                                                                  She is so hated by Alaskans for what she has done that she has an 80% to 90% favorable rating. Such a hated woman there. Is this the reason that liberals are going nuts trying to discredit her. Somehow I think that liberals will find that they have a tiger by the tail and she will shake them off.

And those poll numbers are based on accusations and innuendo. Probably when it all gets sorted out, they will go back up. Unless there is backlash because she abandoned them for the V.P. job...

                                                                        If you look at what happened in the "troopergate" you will see that it is much ado over nothing.

                                                                        Some facts. There was a divorce from Gov. Palins sister with charges of physical abuse. The family wrote a letter to the State troopers listing 13 complaints. They have pushed to have him fired. The paper carried the following in the following link.

                                                                        http://www.adn.com/politics/story/476430.html

                                                                        Troopers eventually investigated 13 issues and found four in which Wooten violated policy or broke the law or both:

                                                                        • Wooten used a Taser on his stepson.

                                                                        • He illegally shot a moose.

                                                                        • He drank beer in his patrol car on one occasion.

                                                                        • He told others his father-in-law would "eat a f'ing lead bullet" if he helped his daughter get an attorney for the divorce.

                                                                        Beyond the investigation sparked by the family, trooper commanders saw cause to discipline or give written instructions to correct Wooten seven times since he joined the force, according to Grimes' letter to Wooten.

                                                                        Those incidents included: a reprimand in January 2004 for negligent damage to a state vehicle; a January 2005 instruction after being accused of speeding, unsafe lane changes, following too closely and not using turn signals in his state vehicle; a June 2005 instruction regarding personal cell phone calls; an October 2005 suspension from work after getting a speeding ticket; and a November 2005 memo "to clarify duty hours, tardiness and personal business during duty time."

                                                                        -------------------------------

                                                                        What does it take to get fired there? Threatening to kill someone and using a Taser on his stepson are not minor issues coming from a law enforcement officer.

                                                                        These things happened before Palin became governor. The man she appointed to head the State police was pressured to fire him again by some in her family and someone in her office, probably trying to help her out, phoned him to do that.

                                                                        Why don't the liberals point out what really happened?

                                                                      The Obama/Clinton would have won the election. I'm a conservative, I'll be voting for McCain/Palin....but I thought I would point this out.

                                                                          What I'm pointing out to you: Obama says he will bring the country together. He cannot even bring his party together. He shunned Hillary. If he was serious, he would have brought Hillary in as his VP. - That decision would have unified the Democratic Party.

                                                                          Therefore, by his actions, he is not a unifying person. His decisions lack judgement and wisdom. He might lose the election because of it.

                                                                          And WHY would any sane Democrat install the NEOCON'S CHOICE into our government?

                                                                          In that, it was successful. But exciting a hall of the like-minded and convincing the nation as a whole that one is worthy to lead IN CASE is--I HOPE--another matter.

                                                                          PS, a thought that lingered: what kind of a parent would put his or her unwed and pregnant child through the media mill at a time when that child is most vulnerable? Doesn't say much for Palin's priorities, to my mind--or her character.

Frankly that page was too long and boring to read all the way through. After a few paragraphs I got the jist: Barry's people are trying DESPERATELY to find some way, ANY way, to kill off this monumental threat to his campaign. It looks to me like someone trying to recite facts out of context to make the situation APPEAR one way, when the CONTEXT might very well make it appear just the opposite. The one GLARING example were the so-called "cuts" to various senior and educational facilities. Anyone else notice anything odd about those things? To me, much of that appeared to be things the STATE had NO BUSINESS paying for directly anyway. It is absolute foolishness to start criticizing someone like this without understanding the REASONS why these things may have been done. So you should consider that when reading this stuff. And ask yourself if YOU are going to be fooled.

                                                                                    But why to you posit the two as either-or in importance?
