All this "bad news" shit is starting to irk me. If you keep ACTING like pansies, you will indeed suffer the fate of a pansy.

The skanky ass cunt was talking to HER people. Of course there was rah-rah-ing. Now let's start looking at things like this, and wait for the debates to roll around, before getting all bunched, shall we :

Getting rid of the Detroit Mayor is good for the Democrats. Supporting an inept, lying Mayor who really did not even manage the city well would have been the real mistake.

How is this bad news? Rooting out corruption is always and everywhere a good thing.

Alaska is also near Canada. And Arizona is near Mexico, so McCain-Palin have more foreign policy experience.

Biden is from Delaware and Obama from Illinois, so they have no foreign policy experience.

Why be bothered by Caribou Barbie and her family of Aryans? I mean, the entire event looked like it could have been Nuremburg circa 1937.

Keep up the cheerleading.

Pail made the smart, smart foreignpolicy point that by building a natural gas pipeline we help reduce dependence on foreign oil.

And we lessen our vulnerability to energy as a "tool" or "weapon" fo rforeign policy, the way Russia uses it vis-a-vis the Ukraine and Western Europe.

Are we for energy independence?

I think so.

Are we for natural gas instead of dirtier more expensive oil?

I think so.

It's pretty easy to sit here and take pot shots at all Palin's weaknesses but the refusal to countenance what she said that connected and that made sense is breathtaking.

Sloggers appear to be following the precepts of the ancient Chinese general Uzt-nus, "ignore your enemy; obsfucate his strengths; block from your mind all awareness of his methods of victory."

Wherefrom this desire to lose and lose again, by (a) taking them up on the culture wars, and (b) having pasny ass responses like Biden's that do not go on offense and do not shape the message, a la 1968 1972 1980 1984 2000 and 2004?

At least the mayor of Detroit has foreign policy experience, because he's near Canada, you know.

Wasilla is something like 1,000 miles from Russia. And she's never issued a single order to the National Guard, and couldn't, on any foreign issue; she's strictly limited to using them for state matters. She's been out of the country twice, and before last night couldn't even NAME five countries besides her own -- the one her Klansman husband wants to secede from. Yeah, this is a GOOD candidate.

Keep talking, Sarah.

Don't forget that she is commander in chief of the alaska national guard!

Oh wait, nevermind...

Here's what I am talking about.

@1 gives a link to yahoo news which says this:

"THE FACTS: The Tax Policy Center, a think tank run jointly by the Brookings Institution and the Urban Institute, concluded that Obama's plan would increase after-tax income for middle-income taxpayers by about 5 percent by 2012, or nearly $2,200 annually. McCain's plan, which cuts taxes across all income levels, would raise after tax-income for middle-income taxpayers by 3 percent, the center concluded."

So....Obama's plan helps middle class 5% and McCain's by 3% so the diff is 2 points so if $2200 is five points the 2 points is roughly $1000 annually.

So Obama needs to say "I will increase your incomes $4000 over my presidency, and McCain will make you $4000 worse off."

"Wouldn't you like to have an extra $4000 to deal with rising gas prices? We need to give the middle class back the American Dream so my American Dream tax reform will cut taxes enough to make that $4000 down payment on restoring the American Dream.

"And just like we restore the American Dream at home with that $4000 down payment, we will get OBL abroad...."

Repeat the words "$4000 downpayment on restoring the American Dream" 10000000000000000000000 times before the election.

Simple. Clear. Communicative. Throw in how Halliburton and oil companies are making bazillions, etc. We have to unite for strength etc.

Biden crying "she didn't talk issues! She didn't talk the issues!" doesn't do it.

It was ridiculous when a Fox News morning guy said it. McCain saying should be an hour of one debate. It's stunning.

I grew up in Southern California. I was born just 20 miles from an international border and I really like tacos! I feel that I am ready to lead this nation.

You've got my vote, @12, and being born nigh unto the Alamo, I share your foreign policy background!

PC, everything you say is bullshit. Everything you say is an attack on the Democrats. Who else can I think of who spews out daily bullshit attacks on Democrats?

Oh, I know. Republicans. But at least they have the decency to put an R after their names.
