I don't think McCain or Obama can top this

[britty 1]

she is engaging to watch and doesn't chuck out a lot of politician spiel that we hear time and time again. Frankly Obama is a bit boring. Whatever, she is not a bleeding heart liberal lefty so she works for me.

The trouble is, nearly everything she said was a lie. And then the remark comparing her mayoral experience (Wasilla, pop. 5500) to Obama's as a community organizer was just plain disingenuous. The proper (and, for Palin, not so flattering) comparison was the eight years Obama spent as the state senator of a state that is 26 times the population of Alaska, let alone the tiny hamlet of Wasilla.

I've said this several times - Palin has a coherent plan for energy which she touched on last night. She has been consistently - without a script or a teleprompter - in the business press talking about it persuasively and articulately for the past 6 months (that I've noticed). And I generally disagree with her zeal for drilling.

She has raised taxes on oil companies and given the voters $1200 in energy credits.

I'm not gonna vote for her. But the way she has been outrightly dismissed by people who were probably more than a little rattled this morning has been very interesting to me.

Incidentally, she has never introduced any legislation to promote abstitence or limit contraception. She mentioned "god" far fewer times in her speech than Barack Obama in his.

Just saying

I agree with her drilling stance. I agree with her increasing the tax on the oil companies here in Alaska. But, she did not give the voters $1200 in energy credits. That would have been the wise thing to do if it were truly about energy. Instead, it will be a $1200 add-on to the permanent fund dividend check that we get every autumn as a result of market investments made on oil royalties. I'm very worried that a State that already has a welfare attitude and an entitlement attitude will only get more dependent on government as a result of this action she took.

[jundp 191]

I see that some people... they'll vote for either party as long as one of the candidates shares their gender.

I have to agree that there are definitely some very, ahem, outspoken people here on VJ who seem to flip flop in the wind when it comes to their party. "I'll stand by the party no matter what." Uh huh. And God forbid you call them on it....dear lord. They just throw some patronizing BS at you and pretend you never gave any facts. Fascinating study of human nature, really.

And this is relevant news how, exactly???

Because she can actually think and speak her mind I guess...

I think it's pretty lame that talking without a prompter suddenly becomes a WOW factor.

Seriously, I do it in front of 120 people every day, in front of 1000 occasionally and I never get a teleprompter. Hell, half the time I don't need notes.

Since I can do that and I have a #######, may I run for public office?

Sorry, I'm not actually attacking Palin, because I'm pretty much annoyed by the attacking on both sides, but I do reserve the right to mock those who make silly comments.

I'm very worried that a State that already has a welfare attitude and an entitlement attitude will only get more dependent on government as a result of this action she took.

I agree with her drilling stance and McCain's as well. Now I get what they mean by *country first*! But what I want to know is when did the dividend check get cut off and is this a permanent situation or temporary? Can this be changed? And what concerns you about the dependent on government welfare entitlement attitude? Is it that this will spread to the rest of the US? Because if us drilling on our own soil gives some benefit to American people like Alaska is then does that mean that the welfare attitude will spread to the rest of the United States?

The portion that has been proposed for drilling is less than one tenth of the Alaskan Wildlife Reserve. No one lives out there and it won't affect anything out there. It's simple economics that make sense. Demand remains the same while supply increases and prices go down. Alleviating our prices & having taxes actually do thing by going to what they are supposed to (the communities we live in), helping our businesses which help us in return and keep us employed, helping our economy as a whole because it spills over from state to state, allowing the arts and sciences to flourish during a time of prosperity and a general boost in moral because we're taking care of ourselves and not the world. We're taking care of our future as well by picking our battles. We've had an agenda and we've been on the path and a sudden change isn't going to do us any good. People are wanting to change things before we've gotten to the good things about the path we are on. All the models indicate globally we are going though a transition period where the two parties are really the same party and that we are going to experience moderate change to ensure lasting peace. The most recent model is the democratization of South Africa. Based on that a country seems to stabilize from the date of constitution in about 15-16 years. 5,000 US troops have already sacrificed their lives for something they believe in. In a Democratic Society. In lasting democratic peace. We have already gone a great distance and we're looking at being 10 years away from the completion of our investment. In making allies and exchanging powers with resources like never before. 10 years of paying a debt to our children and grandchildren. We have the resources and time to take care of what needs to be taken care of now so that our families and citizens in the future are more secure. It's realistically going to take time and making any big changes now is going to be more chaos, more blood, more sweat, more tears much further down the road then what we are experiencing right now.

Models show that with the population of China and the increase in their productivity for less because they are Communist country with labor resources unlike anywhere else that they will surpass the United States in the next 50 years. China already occupies the world economically and there is no labor force population like it. Even the US's 'once great middle class' is being done away with. India with nearly equal population to China, around 1 Billion, agreed to alliances with China in business but India is a Democracy. With the nearly the same population labor resources that the US companies like Walmart exploits. We already had established alliances in business with India, but business is business, and there is no nationalism in business except the almighty dollar, which everyone subscribes to some form of money worship these days. This is why our government chooses to put "In God We Trust" on our materials of commerce. Part of what the global committee has been doing with China is to make it more Democratic with giving it the 2010 Olympics, by forcing it onto the World Stage; though media we are being aware Global Citizen bringing light for every humans right and the violations countries insight.

When are we going to start paying attention to the serious news? When are we going to learn to differentiate between comedy potrayed as news, and the liberal media vs the conservative media and rhetoric of party line agendas? I'm sorry but this is not about who has the best legs, and who wears lipstick, and the ####### monolouges. This is a capitolist economy and a democratic society and a collabrative global partner and leader with the highest GNP running. If you all aren't getting it and you'd rather live somewhere else then by all means travel the world but there is no better place than here and I want to keep it that way. This is my property and no one is going to take from me. They are going to have to pry the shot gun from my cold dead body first. "This land is my land, this land is your land. This land was made for you and me." This land is the United States of America and I am an American citizen and a global citizen. I know my identity. I know my blood.

------------------

On a side note which has completely nothing to do with politics I love the way Palin says, "snow machine racer," with a smile looking lovingly at her Husband, Todd. It's the most genuine loving look ever and his cute "I'm the man" smile in reply to her giddiness from being in love with him is really something lovely to see. http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=4414033n It's around 8:34 in the time code.

[Dr. A ♥ O 203]

The best line of the speech, "They told this candidate there was no hope and he said that he would rather lose an election than see his country lose a war."

The determination, the will, and the shear guts of John S. McCain translates to an old pearl of wisdom we even teach our children today, "Slow and steady wins the race." Remember the tortoise and the hair children story? Well guess what! The tortoise wins the race. Even Political Science studies cite that time and again. McCain's foreign policy is right we have at least 10 more years in Iraq if not 13 and leaving now would be one hundred million times worse then if we finished it and I mean that literally. Democracy's are also shown historically to fight long and hard and fight until we win and we don't pick battles we don't win! Republicans certainly have that attitude going for them and it may take longer and it may be harder but we're a Democratic society and we're driven by capitalism! We're hard and strong but we live well and flourish.

Mostly I like Palin because she is not your typical candidate. She even raises her right hand and pledges to the camera about it right before she recruits the family of special needs votes.

Let see she recruited the, troops vote, the princesses of America vote (me for sure), the family of special needs votes (with and advocate in the white house), BTW we just had the 'Special Olympics' here in Boise, ID. My Aunt on my Mom's side has a child with Downs and a friend I know has a child with Down's. She also recruited the Steel Workers, The Unions, "Snow machine Racers", and cute Middle America couples vote, family of 5+ everywhere vote (Utah, ect...), Education vote, small town vote, elderly (who is the highest percentage of voters! That's the WWII generation, if they can get to the polls or do absentee vote, and older baby boomers.), these are the people with the sway in votes. Though Obama did do something to ignite the youth of this country's interest in participating in politics but the population of the youth movement still does not out weightthe bigger traditional voting population. She also called on the Hockey votes, and the teen pregnancies, Mom's of the world.

"The difference between a Hockey Mom and a Pit Bull, lipstick." Means gentalmen you have a baracoda on your hands. She is not afraid of the snake pit. Have you all seen a Hockey game? The fights!? Woman has got ovaries of steel! Love this Steel Head! Did I mention she's a University of Idaho Vandal? The originial University of Idaho, which I attend, known for it's excellence in acedemia, and also in the home state which holds the Idaho Steel Head Hockey Team who won the Kelly Cup! LOL!

Small town major like a community organizer with actual responsibilites! Means women has been held accountable to the people and "Hello!" they are actually doing the word which she really is very seriously accountable all the way down to gthe microrgasm.

Props to her for telling Obama to kiss our ### for pretending to care and insulting us by saying we "Cling to Religion and Gun" as if you listened to us but judge us instead as if you know us! You aren't listening to us because you've already judged us and classified us! And you think you know what is better to do with us and you're the responsible ones? Government is supposed to be a position with a service mans heart. Love and support and care about the people around you, in front of us, next to us.

Sarah Palin put the cards on the table and she's got a royal flush. Obama is bluffing in his 60 mins interview when he and Biden are being interviewed saying, "If this comes down to a middle class things ten. Well. (scoffs like it will never happen, likes his secured that vote.) Ya know. Meh."

Palin isn't a risk she's a security blanket. She's not elitist, period. She is doing what she is supposed to be doing, kicking butt and taking names, she's on top of it. That is a stacked deck.

Mom's everywhere will be saying, "She bared five children and made milk, what's your super power?" and you guys all call her a women as if it is something bad!?

She called on the woman's vote as well. Specifically 18 million Hillary supporters. Lieberman further encourages this by calling out Democrats to cross party lines because that is just how much he believes in John McCain. Check.

I do agree with Obama on one thing he said. Voters will pretty much have their mind made up by October.

I agree with her drilling stance and McCain's as well. Now I get what they mean by *country first*! But what I want to know is when did the dividend check get cut off and is this a permanent situation or temporary? The divident is permanent as long as government doesn't take it away, in spite of the name "permanent" it really isn't. This is an add on that will most likely become an expected annual addition when people see how many big-screen TVs they can get, and realize that they will really need money for energy next year.

Can this be changed? Yes, but it takes politicians who are willing to commit political suicide And what concerns you about the dependent on government welfare entitlement attitude? That in a state where my entire local and state tax burden was $2500 on a $200,000 property. No state income tax, no state or local sales tax. Yet people will still claim that this is excessive and want oil companies to pay for everything. and Is it that this will spread to the rest of the US? When it comes to the rest of the US, I'm actually more worried about the US unemployment rate and the loss of jobs overseas. Because if us drilling on our own soil gives some benefit to American people like Alaska is then does that mean that the welfare attitude will spread to the rest of the United States? Not sure what you're trying to say here, but let me say it again. DRILL ANWR. And then build the gas pipeline too. And log the Tongass too!

The portion that has been proposed for drilling is less than one tenth of the Alaskan Wildlife Reserve. No one lives out there and it won't affect anything out there. Well, that's a simple view of it. But I live in Alaska. Why are you telling me this like it's news? It's simple economics that make sense. Demand remains the same while supply increases and prices go down. Actually, I'm all for drilling but I think Oil prices are pretty much set by a cartel, OPEC. In a true free market, I would agree with you. But contrived scarcity keeps prices high. And the amount of oil coming out of ANWR wouldn't change our overal prices much we really need to explore alternative fuels. ANWR oil wouldn't be like turning a spigot on and boom! there's oil. It could be years post-ANWR passage before we get oil to market. Alleviating our prices & having taxes actually do thing by going to what they are supposed to (the communities we live in), helping our businesses I thought taxes hurt businesses by taking money away from potential investment which help us in return and keep us employed, helping our economy as a whole because it spills over from state to state, allowing the arts and sciences to flourish during a time of prosperity and a general boost in moral (I'm assuming you meant morale, but we could be talking about Family Morals, right?)because we're taking care of ourselves and not the world. We're taking care of our future as well by picking our battles. We'll pick a battle with anyone who has a resource we need! Personally, it bugs me that North Korea has nukes that could actually fall in my front yard, but since they have no oil, I'm not expecting much...We've had an agenda and we've been on the path and a sudden change isn't going to do us any good. What sudden change? Have you been following ANWR? A sudden change would do us good, because change would mean drilling. Despite having both sides of Congress and the White House from 2000-2006, we couldn't get drilling done! People are wanting to change things before we've gotten to the good things about the path we are on. All the models indicate globally we are going though a transition period where the two parties are really the same party and that we are going to experience moderate change to ensure lasting peace. Which model? The most recent model is the democratization of South Africa. Based on that a country seems to stabilize from the date of constitution in about 15-16 years.

We have already gone a great distance and we're looking at being 10 years away from the completion of our investment. Oh...we're not talking about oil anymore? Or are we? I'm confused...In making allies and exchanging powers with resources like never before. 10 years of paying a debt to our children and grandchildren. Is that the debt that currently is about $31,000 per US Citizen? We have the resources and time to take care of what needs to be taken care of now so that our families and citizens in the future are more secure. It's realistically going to take time and making any big changes now is going to be more chaos, more blood, more sweat, more tears much further down the road then what we are experiencing right now.

"This land is my land, this land is your land. This land was made for you and me." You should write a song with those lines...It would be a catchy tune This land is the United States of America and I am an American citizen and a global citizen. Did they ask you to choose during your visa interview? I know my identity. And because of USCIS, so do "they"!! I know my blood. I do too..mine is O-

On a side note which has completely nothing to do with politics I love the way Palin says, "snow machine racer," with a smile looking lovingly at her Husband, Todd. The First Dude of Alaska is a stud, no doubt. It's the most genuine loving look ever and his cute "I'm the man" smile in reply to her giddiness from being in love with him is really something lovely to see. Or maybe it's a smugness that comes with knowing you're making babies with the Governor and possibly future VP http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=4414033n It's around 8:34 in the time code.

Oh...and Alaska won the Kelly Cup too. And did you know when Idaho won it the first time their Captain was from the U of Alaska

And finally, just curious, but what Labor Unions have endorsed the McCain/Palin ticket? I know several that are against McCain, but haven't heard of any actually for him.

Ok...bed time...sweet dreams everyone

Palin called on the unions and a union "unsure which" filed suit in response. I wonder what that is about? I also wonder if it is any relation to the one her Husband is part of?
