* Palin recently said that the war in Iraq is "God's task." She's even admitted she hasn't thought about the war much—just last year she was quoted saying, "I've been so focused on state government, I haven't really focused much on the war in Iraq." 1, 2
* Palin has actively sought the support of the fringe Alaska Independence Party. Six months ago, Palin told members of the group—who advocate for a vote on secession from the union—to "keep up the good work" and "wished the party luck on what she called its 'inspiring convention.'" 3
* Palin wants to teach creationism in public schools. She hasn't made clear whether she thinks evolution is a fact.4
* Palin doesn't believe that humans contribute to global warming. Speaking about climate change, she said, "I'm not one though who would attribute it to being manmade." 5
* Palin has close ties to Big Oil. Her inauguration was even sponsored by BP. 6
* Palin is extremely anti-choice. She doesn't even support abortion in the case of rape or incest. 7
* Palin opposes comprehensive sex-ed in public schools. She's said she will only support abstinence-only approaches. 8
* As mayor, Palin tried to ban books from the library. Palin asked the library how she might go about banning books because some had inappropriate language in them—shocking the librarian, Mary Ellen Baker. According to Time, "news reports from the time show that Palin had threatened to fire Baker for not giving "full support" to the mayor." 9
* She DID support the Bridge to Nowhere (before she opposed it). Palin claimed that she said "thanks, but no thanks" to the infamous Bridge to Nowhere. But in 2006, Palin supported the project repeatedly, saying that Alaska should take advantage of earmarks "while our congressional delegation is in a strong position to assist." 10

Ah, the hypocrisy, never fails to amaze me...

HOW STUPID do these people look, or how stupid do they think we are?

And the hits just keep on comin....

Wall Street tumbled Thursday on more disappointing economic news — retailers posted sluggish back-to-school sales reports and the government said the number of workers seeking unemployment benefits spiked last week. The Dow Jones industrials fell nearly 250 points.

Investors, already highly anxious about the overall state of the economy, were further unsettled when many of the nation's retailers said shoppers curtailed spending last month due to higher gas and food prices. Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the world's largest retailer, beat Wall Street projections because of its discounts.

Meanwhile, the Labor Department said new applications for unemployment insurance rose by 15,000 from the previous week. That broadly missed expectations for a fourth-straight week of declines.

"The initial jobless claims number was higher than expected," said Dave Rovelli, managing director of U.S. equity trading at Canaccord Adams. "Everybody is worried about the unemployment number out (Friday). It's just a perfect storm."

I mean it aint right... The Great Senator from Arizona might just keel over the first time she leans over his desk to "advise." him...

Comeon people, I don't have a sexist bone in my body. But it is SO clear why McCain chose Palin. McCain has been out for a PUMA vote since Hillary stepped off the stage. This pandering reached a fever pitch during the convention when these sleazoids were running ads from an alleged Hillary supporter, claiming to have switched to McCain.

This all culminated in a rush to find a female for the ticket. The pregnant daughter with her stomach hidden behind her baby brother, the interview a few months back where she questioned what a Vice President does... Her support for Obama's energy policy.... All coming out in less than a week, demonstrating that she went through one of the worst vetting processes in Presidential election history.

Now we watch the Republicans roll out their traditional doublespeak campaign strategy. It is hilarious watching in interview after interview as they roll out the talking points... But after eight years of Bush, the old talking points are not resonating. And the theme of Moral superiority... Eh, it needs to be rethought.

Now as for our VP Candidate.... Lets look at the latest.

First, she announced that her unmarried 17-year-old daughter, Bristol Palin, was pregnant. Among the other revelations, none of which seem to have shaken McCain's confidence or undermined her support among GOP delegates:

For one thing, Palin accepted at least $4,500 in campaign contributions in the same fundraising scheme at the center of a public corruption scandal that led to the indictment of Sen. Ted Stevens.

Seems like little Miss Morality, has some issues... Or maybe McCain just saw the picture over there on the side, I mean the Old guy obviously likes young women. Hehe...

Whatever the case, I am feeling more and more each day that if the Republicans manage to pull this one out, America will get what it deserves...

Attn: Beneficiary,

UNITED NATIONS DIRECTIVES ON YOUR CONTRACT /INHERITANCE FUNDS.

We have decided to bring to your attention, the fact that we feel we have done everything necessary to make sure payments from the debt remittance account are made to the Bonafide Beneficiaries. We earlier informed you of an attempt by some people to collect your payment on your behalf. I had to ask them why they came to see me in person and they said that they came to collect the inheritance/contract funds payment sum of $11 million dollar which rightfully belongs to you as shown in your file with us, on your behalf and by your
authorization.

However, since our last communication to you, we have not heard
anything else from you. Note that they actually tendered some vital documents which proved that you actually sent them to collect these funds. Below is the list of documents which they have presented so far.

1) Letter of administration,( 2) Order to release,( 3) High court injunction

4) Letters of Authorization.

Due to the nature of my job, I cannot afford to make any mistake in releasing the funds to anyone except you who is the recognized true beneficiary to these funds.

Since we have not heard anything from you, I have no choice but to go ahead and order the release of the funds to the men who claim to be your representatives when they come back to my office next week. I have decided to carry out this decision based on your inaction and the fact that these men have threatened to press charges against me, even if it is with the help of corrupt government officials who want to make sure they claim this money belonging to you. And this is a risk I cannot take because I have not heard anything from you.

In lieu to these prevailing Circumstances the Central Bank of Nigeria and
specific Instructions were issued out by the Presidency in conjunction with United Nations Office Ghana Annex, they came to a conclusion that all foreign payment in respect to Contract/Inheritance Claims should be release to the UNITED NATIONS RECONCILIATION COMMITTEE WEST AFRICA ZONE ANNEX OFFICE IN ACCRA.GHANA. For further release and crediting of all beneficiary account.

You are hereby advised to contact the chairman of the committee ALHAJI ALI MOHEMMED NATIONAL CHAIRMAN duly appointed to oversee the immediate Release of your long Over due Funds.

It was that kind of week...

I have to admit a crush on Amy Holmes though. She is one beautiful, intelligent, insightful black woman.

And on the LEFT, Donna Brazile is a beautiful and spectacularly intelligent woman as well.

And our Future First Lady is pretty damned spectacular too.

I have ALWAYS appreciated strong, intelligent women, and this week we have had a glorious exploration of them, from Hillary and Michelle, to the aforementioned Amy. And Bidden and McCain seem to have done well for themselves as well, even if Mrs. McCain just looks too much like a Stepford Wife.

And she's still kinda got the look...

Is it just me, or is it condescending as hell to use Hillary as your spokesperson all week, claim Obama is too inexperienced to be President, and then while you are a banana peel away from death by Natural Causes... to invite Mrs. Little House on the Prairie to be your Running mate, she whose, experience was mayor of bum fuck Alaska, population 25 if ya count the Polar Bears, before becoming Governor? Is it just me, or is HE Clearly pandering to the Suicide wing of the Hillariites, the anti abortion, Nuke the Gays, and the, "you can rip my gun and fishin' pole out of my cold dead hand," wing of the Right Winger Death Brigade... Well you got the picture!

Did any of you catch the so called, "Republican Response," last night on Larry King live? The Hypocrisy of these people are absolutely astounding....
