JanSParticipantYep, up too late – lol. I just caught this..
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/10/05/MN2R13BKI7.DTL
guess this means that it’ll really be ugly until Nov. 04.
Does this mean that her relationship with a secessionist is fair game? Whadday’all think?

CaitParticipantAbsolutely it’s fair game! I’m sure it’s no surprise coming from me, though. I love how she can spew all this stuff and not have to comment on it later (read: she doesn’t have to support it with evidence that’s not on her script.)
If she’s the first woman in the white house I’m digging my ovaries out and moving to Canada. It just makes me ashamed in this sick way…

JanSParticipantyes, I’ve been thinking about how close we are to Canada….
remember when McCain said he wasn’t going to run a negative campaign? evil, evil, evil….karma’s a bitch…ask OJ..

acemotelParticipantmaybe the strategy will backfire….

JoBParticipantIt’s clear that Sarah Palin isn’t relevant to her own campaign except as a fundraiser and appeal to the lowest common denominator in her party.
Although she is campaigning in the true spirit of VP attack dogs.. and she is getting a pass because everyone is afraid to appear mean to the poor little uneducated woman.
But some of her attacks show just how distorted american thinking is..
what is wrong with wealthy americans thinking it is patriotic to pay more taxes and support their country?
and when did donating time to non-profit work become a bad thing to do?
Canada might not be far enough.. or warm enough.

MissKMemberI think that McCain is running a dirty campaign. I had respect for the man before he picked Sarah Palin, now I feel he really is just another smug Republican. She is not a woman I would look up to or to lead this country. I’m sorry but I want someone that is more intelligent and more poised than myself. Unfortunately we have had a frat party taking place for years and that woman is as appealing as a frat house hazing.

WSMomParticipantShe appeals to lowest common denominator of mean spirited selfish Americans. Can you imagine sitting next to her at your kids hockey game, listening to her ignorant self satisfied prattle. For me she epitimizes the stupidity of “drill baby drill”. Proudly proclaiming
“Drill baby drill” as her motto is all I need to know about her “energy expertise”. I am ashamed of John McCain and the Republican party for pandering to ignorance and self delusion by choosing this caricature to be one step away from the presidency. Calling her Cariboo Barbie is an insult to Barbie.

ariettaParticipantPreach it, sistahs!!
Jan, I didn’t follow the link, but I’m not sure I want to. I was almost happy that our power was out all afternoon/night yesterday. I couldn’t get on the damned computer and read more stuff that makes me angry and depressed!
October 5, 2008 at 10:28 pm #642365
JanSParticipantand a follow-up…this won’t go away quickly. And I can bet that there will be some backlash . What really struck me is way down close to the end, talking about where Palin is going to speak, and her support. I always knew that Vicki Carr (if you’re under, say, 45, you have no idea who she is probably – lol) was a right-wing Republican…but…Robert Duvall? Say it ain’t so. He is actually supporting her…and McCain. He must have been influenced by those military roles that he played ;-)
Arietta…I’m beyond anger…incredulity has definitely set in…

ariettaParticipantWell, I should’ve figured I couldn’t escape it for long. The radio was more than happy to oblige, sigh.
Seriously, this made me laugh when I first heard it. Now that I’m being hammered with it (I mean on the radio), it’s starting to get annoying. She is so high school it’s beyond pathetic. Once again, Obama responded to their little playground games appropriately.
I know, I could just turn off the radio. I probably will. God, her 15 mins. can’t be over soon enough.
October 6, 2008 at 4:19 pm #642367
JoBParticipantI am afraid her 15 minutes will last longer than 15 minutes…
and absolutely terrified that it won’t end.
October 6, 2008 at 4:49 pm #642368
JanSParticipantJoB…I join in your terror. Many of us go about our day thinking that it;s Obama’s to win. And then you stop in your tracks when you realize that in reality that may not be the case at all. It is NOT a given that Obama will win, and there really is a possibility that this man, John McCain and his VP candidate, who quoted Madeliene Albright yesterday (gave me the shivers)about there being a special place in hell for women who don’t support other women (talk about pandering), that there is a real possibility that they could actually become Prez and Vice Prez, and I truly get a feeling in my head of impending doom when I think about it. It’s much worse than in 1980, as I held my infant daughter (born Oct.21), listening to the returns that said that Ronald Reagan actually won, and wondering what kind of world I had brought her into.

AnonymousInactivewsmom, great rollingstone article.
Thirty Lies Refuted About Ayers And Obama
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/john-k-wilson/30-lies-refuted-about-aye_b_132109.html
LIE: In 1995, Ayers and Dohrn “hosted a political coming out party for a young Barack Obama.”(Sean Hannity, Hannity’s America, October 5, 2008, “Obama and His Friends: History of Radicalism”)
TRUTH: This was an event for Alice Palmer, not a “coming-out party” for Obama. Obama was invited by Palmer to the event.

beachdrivegirlParticipantInteresting piece on Palin-

McCain Forgets How Many Glass Houses He Lives In
And from the same site…
John McCain’s campaign today announced, “Americans need to ask themselves if they’ve ever befriended an unrepentant terrorist, or had a convicted felon help them buy their house.”
Neither of these things is true of John McCain. However, McCain has befriended a convicted felon, and his many houses were purchased due to the fortune of convicted criminal Jim Helmsley, his father-in-law.
