You can't trust the lying network, the propaganda channel for the repugs, to give us the truth! Why do you think Cheney demands fox on any room he walks into?

Fox, the network that Reagan envisioned when he vetoed the Truth in Telecommunications Act! Why Repugs today oppose the Fairness Act too!-

they don't profess to be "fair and balanced" like Faux Fox Facts does! How about O'Reilly calling the parents of a pregnant 16 year old "pinheads", but changes his tune 180 degress when its sarah with a 17 year old! The 16 year old was Britney Spears' sister!
Reply
How about all the times that Fox purposely mislabeled any repug as a dem when that repug sides with a dem position? How about the Fox news discussion on racism that got so disgusting the interviewed walked out on live TV?
How about the news director of Fox, Roger Ailes, accepting that seniority journalism award last year? CSPAN televised his acceptance speech which was one of the most bigoted, "Ugly American" speeches I've ever heard! No wonder O'Reilly says a kid is better off with a pedophile than his own family!

Seems Fox News is trying to avoid the most serious charges against Palin. Her corruption has been well documented by now. Even more serious is her abuse of political power to carry out personal vendettas and to finance ugly religious fanatics.

Voting for Palin would be like voting for Osama Bin Laden.
Sarah Palin used AK tax dollars to fund dominionist churches
Over the past few days, I've done reporting on Sarah Palin's extensive dominionist connections--including the attempt to run her as a "stealth" dominionist candidate and her connections to some scary dominionist groups including not just "Joel's Army" folks but a far-right Christian Reconstructionist political party linked to domestic terrorism.

I know her husband is in oil, but not a big player... The real Bought and paid for aspect is this....
Reply
10% of her entire campaign finances running for lieutenant governor came from the head of VECO oil, his wife, and their friends just days after meeting one on one with him.. This is the same guy who bribed half of Alaska's republican party, and is the reason Ted Stevens is indicted, and multiple state GOP'ers are in jail...

Yah, Exxon actually thinks Barak has a chance and is hedging bets! All those gross profits have to go somewhere - they haven't been going into alternatives other than to buy up alternatives since the Bushies dropped all the energy anti-monopoly laws in the former Repug "Do Nothing" Congress!!

Remember Ted Stevens telling Big Oil CEOs they didn't even have to give an oath to tell Congress the truth, so they didn't! Palin is just more of the same, as her lawsuit on polar bears validates-

I hate to bust your bubble, but there is no shortage of Polar Bears. There is more now than ever before. For your information, a report today was released that studies taken after years of drilling core samples in Greenlad show that polution over 100 years ago was 5 times greater than it is today. So much for your climate change theory from pollution!

yes, because they have been protected and she sued to get them off protection! over a 4 degree average increas in temp at the poles in the last 50 years - FACT! The point is that she sided with big oil, you idiot! She is just as corrupt as Murkowski (her predescessor), ted Stevens (under 7 indictments)... and every other repug out of Alaska - just plain corrupt!
Reply
How about all those Saipan sweat shops with forced prostituion and forced abortions, so you repugs can make money! Heck Abramoff (just convicted for 4 more years in jail) set up Delay to visit there in the luxury hotel and profess that the island is a great example of capitalism! Yes, capitalism run rampant and totally corrupt! This Saipan problem still exists under you repugs, as do the 2 wars you started (one for absolute lies for greed).

Paulin is against a women's right to choose
She has tried to have books banned in the library.
She is ignorant about science e.g. environment.
She loves guns and likes to have wolves shot for sport out of helicopters.
She is hardly a person to garner votes except from men who vote with their genitals and elitist maniopulative corporatists

You are right! I have more people then every looking at this ticket. The more venom that the dems pour out, the more they hurt themselves and they don't even know it. In all my 50 years of voting, this is the first time I will be campaigning for a ticket.

the repugs in the senate have blocked all the good pelosi legislation like they have backed Dumya's vetos on stem cell research and giving 10 million poor American kids some health coverage!
Reply
How about the repug Congress thowing out all the Clinton ergonomic standards for business and then Dumya saying the standards will be just voluntary on business as he hired the lawyer to be solicitor general for the labor department that tried to get the standards eliminated through 12 years of labor department development?
Oh yes, I'm retired military - I was willing to defend American values when they were real American values! I was fired as a Army contractor for my stringent efforts to prevent fratricide in a Bush world that just wants to have big unaudited spending contracts (war profiteering, you senile idiot).

Her position on creationism is bad enough
Reply
“I don’t think there should be a prohibition against debate if it comes up in class. It doesn’t have to be part of the curriculum,”
What debate? Creationism is SCIENCE FICTION. Let's leave science in science class and science fiction in literature class. Is that too much to ask for?-

Ineresting thing about evolutionists.
Reply
You know, there are people today who believe the earth is flat. They reject outright the notion that the earth is round. Such people do not stir the first shred of indignation in me, though I certainly do not agree with them.
Ever notice the complete inability of evolutionists to respond to creationism in any way other than complete, abject indignation? They marinate in their own indignation when confronted with creationism.
Very curious indeed.

An 8th myth ... She supported the bridge before she cancelled it.
Reply
The bridge legislation passed in 2005. She took office in December 2006 and cancelled it.
If you don't like her, don't vote for her, but quit trying to destroy her.
I don't like Joe Biden, so he won't get my vote.-

FTA:
The Alaska governor campaigned in 2006 on a build-the-bridge platform, telling Ketchikan residents she felt their pain when politicians called them "nowhere." They’re still feeling pain today in Ketchikan, over Palin’s subsequent decision to use the bridge funds for other projects - and over the timing of her announcement, which they say came in a pre-dawn press release that seemed aimed at national news deadlines.

Pandering at its finest.
She canceled the project and KEPT MY money.
It's only welfare when the money is for someone else in the Con Culture of Lies and Incompetence.-

It's worse than that. There were actually TWO bridges. She was for both of them until she got her mind changed. One bridge got canceled and she jumped on that bandwagon. BUT..... she is still building the road to that nonexistent bridge. The other bridge and it's road are still being built.

Pat Robertson wanting a foreign leader assassinated... Dumya calling Iraq a "Crusade", sounds like sarah too!
Hey, we are only one repug supreme court judge away from losing habeas corpus and instilling the "Unitary Executive" to really throw out the Consitution! Thank you, terrrorist party of America (you corrupt, torturing repugs) for destroying America!

Mean spirited? Were you watching the GOP convention? It was full of political rancor. You know the "partisan political rancor" McCain promised to abolish. So either McCain is a hypocrite and a liar or he cannot control his own campaign and staffers. Either way, he is unfit for the presidency.

Palin's Handlers have already told the American Public that she would not be answering any questions. " It would not be in the GOP's best interest."
Reply
The ability of the religious right to direct who McCain picks as his VP candidate puts the question of McSames being a "maverick" as kind of moot.
Palin the would love to overturn the first Amendment and form a theocracy. But you are not allowed to question her on this aspect of her politics. The "faith candidate" for the GOP faithful.

This tells me NOTHING new. I knew that the photo was shopped, I knew she wasn't the grandmother of Trig, I knew she wasn't a Nazi. What's funny is they call the fact that she wants creationism taught in school a myth, and then went right on to say it is true. The same with the abstinence question. The recall was considered, so....that means she was almost recalled...am I wrong?

This is just more validation why regular fox viewers scored only 35% accuracy on basic facts in that PIPA Study, lowest of any regular network news viewers. PBS news was at 85%, a good reason why the repugs always want to stop funding PBS, defund the truth!

That's a good link. Thank you. Here is a little more about her attitude towards education by another resident of Wasilla.
Reply
When I graduated from Wasilla High School, Sarah Palin's alma mater, there were 1200 students, some fantastic teachers, and a strong Advanced Placement program. When Sarah Palin graduated, I doubt there were less than half that many students. Unfortunately, the last several years' budget cuts have hit WHS rather hard, and it's been shedding good teachers and AP classes, with no end in sight. Last I heard, the coordinated advanced learning program had been disbanded, for lack of funds. Wasilla High School used to turn out some amazing students, many of whom were friends of mine who went onto MIT, Harvard, Colgate, Tufts, and many other top universities. Now, WHS is a school in decline, even amidst an explosion in the local housing stock, and record state revenues from oil extraction. This decline began under Mayor Palin's watch as mayor, and is coming to its inevitable conclusion under her watch as governor.

The Repugs are trying to pull another rabbit out of their hat by blaming the "liberal" media for wanting to find out about Sarah Palin.We have a right to know unbiased information about who this woman is!From what I've learned her views are way too extremist and has been misrepresenting herself by ignoring issues.The truth is she wants creationism taught in school.She's a global warming denier who's suing the federal government to take polar bears off the endangered species list.She Ok'd aerial hunting of wolves and bears which is cruel and inhumane.Her speech at the RNC was polarizing and mean spirited.Her comments on community organizers was ignorant.Someone needs to remind Sarah Palin that Jesus was a community organizer and Pontius Pilate was a govenor

Poor Dems. All loaded for Pawlenty, Huckabee, Romney, and maybe Hutchinson on the ouside. All ready, barrels loaded, attack dogs straining at their leashes to demolish McCain's pick right out of the gate.

Then along comes Palin.
Face it Dems...the reason you resort to faux indignation, meaningless metrics, and downright callous attacks, is because McCain completely outflanked, outclassed, outthought, and outmaneuvered Team Obama. Hundreds of hours of preparation to unleash bloody hell on his VP pick, and you got nothing to show for it but empty pizza boxes.
All those millions of union dollars stolen from worker paychecks, donated to Democrats, and you got nothing to show your union puppet masters but empty pizza boxes.
We can't even make this up. Simply priceless.-
