    Unless you're Sarah Palin, that is...

      Have you ever taken a look at the attacks waged by you guys against Gov. Palin? It was relentless. As to protecting her from the media hounds, yes, the McCain camp did. Unfortunately it was poorly handled. Again this was the McCain camp as a whole.

      I'm still wondering when the full Obama story will be released. I don't mean being a citizen or any of the crack pot stuff. I'm talking about his comments concerning businesses such as the coal industry or comments concerning a new civilian military. How about opening up his Blackberry records on contacts with Ayers, Wright or other "unique" people. How about opening his reports and essays from his college years? How about full release of his medicals? I really think the DNC has done themselves harm by not properly vetting this guy. Too bad the press didn't do their jobs.

        When his full comments will be released? The video is posted on youtube what exactly are you hoping for? OMG when presented with the ENTIRE transcript of what was said unedited you still claim its not all there? Maybe you can thump your chest and bleat with a little believability when you start asking for the minutes of the Cheney energy sell out.

          You mean the part where he was born in Ethiopia, is a radical muslim extremist, and wants to start a new army of jack booted thugs so he can start a new country called the Union of Soviet Socialist Kenyans?

            I thought I made it clear I wasn't asking the crack pot questions. But again since I'm probably talking to someone from the truth about 9-11 team, let me make this even clearer. I am very unimpressed with the way the media acted in this election. I no longer trust any of the "news" media outlets controlled by ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS and CNN. All carried water for the Obama team. Fine if you won't ask questions about Obama how about his side kick Joey "the gaff machine" Biden? Between plagiarizing his resume, speeches and other items or his mistakes on the campaign trail, how could anyone consider him for VP? I understand the beltway media love "Old Joe", but if something bad happened to the president, he's the new president. That scares me more than Obama's business tax promises.

              The vast majority of us thought the prospect of Sarah Palin as Commander-in-Chief was most frightening of all.

                I've met the Governor and she's not the idiot the media is telling you she is. She's not an east coast or big city politician. She's more of a "normal" Midwesterner even though she's from Alaska. She's clearly different from McCain. She is very conservative and very protective of family. She like most, understands the Constitution isn't a living document. If changes are to be made, the House and Senate need to craft the changes. It shouldn't be left to the courts to re-write or re-interpret what the founding fathers really meant. She's certainly forgiving when it came to attacks on her family. she brushed off most as free speech. I can't imagine Barrack doing the same. When people attacked Michelle, he had a hissy fit.

                She has had to work with Russia and Canada on international matters concerning fishing rights and rescues of lost crews. While not official treaties, agreements of mutual assistance were handled by her team. I think she would make a very good Vice President and was clearly a better choice than Joe.

                  I don't need to meet her to know that someone her age who only obtained a passport after becoming governor is too incurious to represent America in the world. Her limited interviews proved her to have little to no understanding of history, geography, the policies of the current administration or myriad other subjects crucial to the job she sought. Her religious extremism is overwhelming. She is George Bush in a skirt and Dick Cheney with lipstick. I could go on and on, but I'm weary of having this same debate over and over. I'm just thankful enough folks seem to see through her to keep her out of national office.

                "I thought I made it clear I wasn't asking the crack pot questions. "

                Sorry, but asking about Obama's "...new civilian military" IS a crackpot question.

                He was talking about Peace Corps and Americorps, for crying out loud!

                Then you move on to Ayers and Wright and 'full disclosure of medical records'. What do you hope to find in this little witch hunt of yours?

                  Obama's quote: "We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded." That doesn't sound like the Peace Corps or the Americorps I heard of.

                  "I no longer trust any of the "news" media outlets controlled by ABC,NBC,CBS,PBS, and CNN." So I guess that leaves the EIB network and Fox? It's no wonder your views are so skewed. I get the majority of my news from NPR. I agree that the major news networks do a crappy job though. It's like traffic, weather, fluff piece, traffic, weather, fluff piece..... No coverage of the war, the issues of the day, or any in depth analysis of weather any political claims hold water. It's just sound bites. I rarely watch it anymore.

                Seriously, get over it. Blackberry records? How about Presidential emails? You think transparency is a requirement of Dems but "your" president doesn't count? It's gonna be fun when the current admins skeletons come out.
