I wondered why the Republicans kept using community organizer in their speeches, so I looked up some information on Barrack's community organizer experience. I guess the Republicans figured you wouldn't get this information from the MSM. Pretty interesting and informative stuff. h ttp:// www.ibdeditorials.com/IBDArticles.aspx?id=30360557 5673142 # h ttp:// www.capitalresearch.org/pubs/pdf/...

Oprah has refused to have Palin on her show, because oprah is supporting Obama, if any white talk show host said they were supporting Mc Cain and would not have Obama on their show they would be immediately villified.Obama must distance himself from oprah if he is to have credibility.

this movie sounds interesting , by the director who brought titanic to the screen. James Cameron to shoot $200 million film 'Avatar' BY: Actress Archives | Monday, January 8, 2007 Despite vastly exceeding his budget for the 1997 film Titanic, director James Cameron constructed one of the most well-known films of the 1990s, as well as the highest-grossing film in history.

" I think a free press was a very important matter to the founding fathers, and i think they wanted to guarantee it.It occurred to me while watching the republican convention that the majority of media have a left wing bias.I know this discussion has come up before, but i was appalled at just how flagrant this bias was this last week. As upset as i was about the media bias i am even more ...

You would have thought they learned their lesson when Good Ol Dutch fell in love with the REFRAIN to John Mellencamp's "Little Pink Houses." Get a load of the song that introduced Gov. Sarah Palin to the American people: So this aint the end - I saw you again today I had to turn my heart away Smiled like the sun - Kisses for real And tales - it never fails! You lying so low in the weeds I ...

Well Palin has obviously passed her first test with flying colors. She is more popular than both Obama and McCain. Obama's horrible pick for VP Senator Joe "Blowhard" Biden isn't even the discussion. Palin will have a few more tests. Obviously the debate she will participate in and the Sunday morning interview shows will be the two main tests she has left. Its certainly possible that she will...

Palin: "To the families of special-needs children all across this country, I have a message: For years, you sought to make America a more welcoming place for your sons and daughters. I pledge to you that if we are elected, you will have a friend and advocate in the White House." Sarah Palin seems to have changed her mind on this one recently because Palin actually slashed funding for schools ...

Yes, youre going to have to work harder now -- youve got someone else who needs your help. Apparently, Fannie and Freddies stockholders didnt know how to read a prospectus, and didnt realize that it was a bad idea to fund home loans that were beyond the means of their borrowers. In the effort to provide everyone, no matter how unable to pay, with a McMansion, these institutions were giving ...

Judge Judy nominated to the Supreme Court. Bombing Iran to fulfill God's plan is our first military objective. God needs the USA or else what would He do? Sarah's makes a "hottie calendar" for 2009 - each month with a new mini skirt picture. All proceeds go to the Down's Syndrome Foundation.

An historic election, whomever wins. www.chicagotribune.com/news/politics/chi-sarah-pal in-vice-president-john-mccain,0,6176891.story

You gotta be kidding me. You have to think of who could be the next president if something happens to number one. Talk about pandering!!! Palin won't get Hillary's votes, she's pro-life, and women don't vote for women just because they're women. Geraldine Ferraro? If anything, this probably keeps the rednecks home with a woman on the ticket. There goes 90% of his base.

This is too much. I'm so sick of politics in our country. Give me a break John McCain! You pick Palin over Pawlenty for VP. Why, why?! Well I'll tell you why. Last night, you witnessed the death of your election. Obama stepped up, he showed the world what he had, and that he was a fighter and is willing to put THE BEST people around him to lead the country in a responsible way. So what...

Obama for 12 months talked about getting rid of Washington insiders and saying people who have been in Washington too long have been corrupted. So what does he do? Goes out and picks Biden a 30+ year Washington insider to be VPthats a hypocrite if I ever saw one. McCain has accomplished change in Washington and says we need ethical reform and need to get ride of wasteful spending. So ...

I have to say, as a high school Civics teacher, I am truly disgusted with how little my Democrat friends know about our government. The hate you spew is pathetic. First, You argue that Palin has little or no experience and that Republicans should no longer attack Obama's experience. Civics Lesson - It is true that McCain's pick for Vice President has only a year and a half experience ...

Do the Republicans and McCain REALLY have such a low opinion of women that he thinks just because he chooses a woman for his VP, that women will automatically switch their allegiances and vote for McCain just because hes got a woman on the ticket? Is that what the Republicans think of the great women of this country? Do they think that women are blind to the critical issues of the day and ...

It isn't that John McCain chose Sarah Palin, who has been governor for less than two years of a state with fewer residents than most mid-sized cities, and whose only other experience was to be the mayor of a town with fewer than 7,000 people; it isn't that McCain chose this novice, which is of greatest concern. Of course, McCain choosing someone with so little depth says a lot about his ...

"She's not prepared to be governor. How can she be prepared to be vice president or president? Look at what she's done to this state. What would she do to the nation?" --Sen. Lyda Green, president of the state Senate and a Republican from Palin's hometown of Wasill Yikes. And that's from a fellow Republican. True, Green and Palin have some personal issues stemming from Palin's chuckling it ...

Do you agree with this statement? Yes or No. All abortions performed in this country are performed on Democrats and/or Liberals.

Earlier this year McCain ran a campaign ad comparing Barack Obama to Britney Spears. Now it comes out that Bristol Palin, the 17 year old daughter of Sarah Palin is pregnant. Seems the Palins have much more in common with the Spears family than Barack Obama. What an interesting election. www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/09/01/palin.daughter/ind ex.html
