Pales In Comparison

Reason Bazillion Hundred and Two That McCain Must Be Defeated

I told you below that both John McCain and Sarah Palin are morons. He because he thinks she's the future of the party and seems to still believe that he made a wise decision in choosing her as his running mate.
She is a moron because she is a moron.  As in Stoopid, Dumb, Not Bright.  I don't like to call names, but if the shoe fits.......

She actually believes that "attacks" from reporters who question her negative campaigning against Obama are a threat to her First Amendment Rights. 

Please.  Somebody. Get this woman a copy of the Constitution. Either she's never, ever read it, or if she has, it's beyond her reading comprehension.   

Reason Bazillion That McCain MUST Be Defeated

He actually thinks Sarah Palin is the future of the party.  Morons. Both of 'em. 

This Doesn't Play Well in Ohio

Joe refused to appear on stage with Palin at PSU, but none-the-less, she's not beneath sucking up to the crowd by invoking JoePa:

“Here at Penn State, you know the value of a seasoned leader with experience and with guts because last weekend when the Lions were down, the game was on the line, Coach (Joe) Paterno knew how to lead your team to a comeback win -- and that's exactly what we need you to help us do on Election Day," Palin said.

Uh, Sarah--Joe and coaching had nothing to do 

with it.  Our Freshman Quarterback, who was smart enough NOT to play ball for Joe the Coach, made a freshman mistake and fumbled the ball.  If he doens't drop it, the Buckeyes win. And Obama is not going to drop the ball. 

After the event, Palin refused to meet Penn State President Graham Spanier, because "he's a big Democrat."  Nice.  I guess that doesn't play too well in Pennsylvania.   I guess she's just planning to be Vice President of the Republicans, not all Americans.

Dear 44%

The latest PEW Research Poll says that 49% of Americans have an unfavorable opinion of Sarah Palin, while 44% approve of her. 
So to the 44% who approve of Sarah Palin as the Republican nominee for Vice President, I simply ask, are you stark raving Mad? 
In July, she flat out didn't know what the Vice President does:

Since then, she's gotten a pretty good idea of what the Veep does:

Wrong. She couldn't be more wrong, from a constitutional stand point or from a practical perspective. So in the 11 weeks since that first interview, Sarah Palin hasn't had the intellectual curiosity to learn about what she's going to be doing all day, every day?  Again, dear 44% I ask of you, how can you possibly defend or approve of this woman as John McCain's choice?

Crazy...Angry....

Update From The Great State of Ohio

You've most likely seen the evil bile churned up by Sarah Palin in Strongsville, Ohio last week.  It was at best cringe-worthy, but here are two letters to the editor of the Cleveland Plain Dealer that provide some hope (they were printed in Sunday's edition):

Sunday, October 12, 2008

Those living in Strongsville have celebrities in their midst, but I wouldn't be proud. Strongsville residents have been seen on YouTube from each local John McCain rally (Middleburg Heights and Strongsville). The basis: The attendees of the McCain rallies are "interviewed" with questions, such as, "How long have you known the name Sarah Palin? Barack Obama?"

Based on the bile that came from their mouths, I say the world has seen these people for what they really are - ignorant, unintelligent, uneducated bigots who obviously don't hold "country first."

How could any of the respondents be concerned for our country, its security, the failing economy, health care, jobs, civil rights (and the list goes on) if they are so narrow-minded as to choose, or not choose, a president based on his name?

You all know who you are. Anyone with morals or a conscience would be ashamed.

It is every American's privilege to vote. Never would I tell someone whom to vote for. But I beg all voters to empower and educate themselves. Research the candidates' policies via their Web pages. Please make your choice on the issues that affect you, your family and your future. Don't hand over your vote to the crunch-time scare tactics.

Sadly, this week my 7-year-old came running into the house yelling, "Mom, who are you voting for?" "Sen. Obama," I replied. "Oh, no!" he said, "You can't have an evil president."

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. His young friend down the street had been to the Strongsville rally and told him all about it.

Silence in the face of hatred is not fit to lead!

Strongsville High School is home to a few rampant KKK-loving students; another reported last year on "Why we should kill gays" - complete with photos from the Internet. My 16-year-old was made to endure this hate-filled presentation during English class.

Silence in the face of hatred is unfit to lead!

I campaigned in my neighborhood the other day with a woman who is now a U.S. citizen, but who is originally from a Middle Eastern country. She worried about knocking on neighbors' doors because others like her have been cursed and called terrorists. I apologized for my fellow white middle-class neighbors.

Silence in the face of hatred is not fit to lead!

John McCain and Sarah Palin have ignored shouts of "kill him" and "terrorist" at recent campaign rallies.

Silence in the face of hatred is not fit to lead!

Kudos to them for speaking up.

Be Afraid. Be Very, Very Afraid

Not Safe For Work.

The VP Debate

Just in case you (like I) were busy watching Ohio State beat Wisconsin and missed this, here it is...Tina Fey is more Palin than Sarah Palin.

Is He Listening to Himself?

John McCain decided to do anything, say anything, become anything to win the office of President, and now that it's back-firing, he's becoming petulant.

Pot Meetin' Kettle, Ya youbetcha

I know that the American people don't look past the face value of most statements uttered in a campaign, but I think it's really risky territory for Palin to start pointing out Biden's age and length of service in the Senate. Katie Couric thinks so too...but maybe Sarah's not troubled by the fact that her running mate is 72 years old and has 26 years of Congressional service (McCain was first elected to Congress in 1982) and is to most of us part of the establishment in Washington that is so horribly broken. We are voting for the top of the ticket, aren't we?
