My Alias, you are one smart woman.

Ms. Crowley, I think it’s smug and pretentious for any of us to try to guess, let alone definitively state, what Hillary is feeling or thinking or how she might be reacting. To do so is to demean the complexity and acute intelligence of someone who surely wants what’s best for this country and knows that is certainly not McBush and Miss Congeniality.

Hallelujah, Monica! As a Hillary supporter who was “dis”enfranchised, I am delighted with John McCain’s choice! Sarah Palin has more executive experience to lead this country than Barack Obama wished he had. She’s an accomplished, capable, honest maverick! Not only is Hillary smiling, but Geraldine mentioned she’s rethinking her vote in Nov. I am so loving this! I’ll be voting for the vetted experienced bipartisan John McCain. This move was brilliant!!!

And Obama hasn’t changed? Answer me this, Susan: ” Obama has changed his mind on Iraq, reversed course on campaign finance, volte-faced on NAFTA and backtracked on Social Security. So what does the candidate of CHANGE really believe? On Social Security, too, Obama’s made “changes” in defining the class enemy. He raised his definition of “the rich” subject to his proposed 12.4% hike in taxes from anyone making $97,500 a year to those making $250,000. On policy, Obama gets even more chameleonic. We all remember how he vowed an immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq. Iran was a tiny country that we didn’t have to worry about…he was going to sit down with no conditions with the terrorist leaders of the world. Now I get it….this is what Obama defines as “change!”

There are a couple of things that come to mind while reading other posts. 1. Obama doesn’t have a lot of years of experience; but, at least it’s on a national level. We can at least be assured that he understands the workings of Washington. Palin’s experience is too limited and too local. 2. Not only does McCain not get get it; now, he has a VP that doesn’t get it either. Just great two clueless souls in the White House.

Yes, Hillary may very well be laughing. On the same day that the Republicans were forced to dramatically cut back their convention activities, the Palin Meltdown unfolded with extraordinary speed. It’s worth pondering the totality of what happened today, in a mere half day… * The news that Palin once backed the Bridge to Nowhere went national. * It emerged that Palin has links to the bizarro Alaska Independence Party, which harbors the goal of seceding from the union that McCain and Palin seek to lead. * The news broke that as governor, Palin relied on an earmark system she now opposes. Taken along with the Bridge to Nowhere stuff, this threatens to undercut her reformist image, something that was key to her selection as McCain’s Veep candidate. * The news broke that Palin’s 17-year-old daughter became pregnant out of wedlock at a time when the conservative base had finally started rallying behind McCain’s candidacy. * Barely moments after McCain advisers put out word that McCain had known of Bristol Palin’s pregnancy, the Anchorage Daily News revealed that Palin’s own spokesperson hadn’t known about it only two days ago. * A senior McCain adviser at the Republican convention was forced into the rather embarrassing position of arguing that McCain had known about the pregnancy “last week” — without saying what day last week he knew about it. * It came out that Republican lawyers are up in Alaska vetting Palin — now, more than 72 hours after it was announced that she’d been picked. * Palin lawyered up in relation to the trooper-gate probe in Alaska — a move that ensures far more serious attention to the story from the major news orgs. http://tpmelectioncentral.talkingpointsmemo.com/2008/09/the_palin_meltdo…

Can we really say that Palin is the great example of America’s Womanhood -Tears are a better emblem for many reasons - The heartbreaking tag line is to have a 17 year old daughter poster child example of Faith Based Abstinence-Only - just say NO program makes us all aware of how little respect there is for woman when contraception protection is considered abortion.

Tax cutting for who, the same as usual, McSame will be the President not Palin, she will the be the hostess, with McSame as her boss, get the coffee girl, or maybe trollop as he called his wife. Tax cuts for the rich, don’t cut it., there should be tax cuts for the hard working middle class, not the rich. Hiding her daughters pregnancy because she is pro-life, the girl is underage, the man who got her pregnant should be in jail, it’s statutory rape. This is not the women I would want to see as President, so I hope Obama wins. What is the trooper scandal, all about, she’s getting a lawyer, oh brother, and people thought Hillary came with baggage. God help us.

okay - I’ve talked about the book i just read of McCains on three different threads in the last ten minutes.. but Monica Monica… have you read his book? If you’re going to quote what Obama says about religous conservatives you need to read the chapter in McCains book about John Trower. Who McCain felt was being railroaded by religious conservatives. I don’t have the book in front of me but his own quotes had some four letter words I’m pretty sure. He had nothing good to say about religous conservatives and made it clear he thought they didn’t belong in politics. His choosing of a religious conservative is as obvious pandering as his choosing a woman is. Not to mention that John McCain has been a “Washington Creature” for forty years. I’m counting his years as a Navy Liason to congressmen. If you read his book it is also very clear that he aspired instantly to be one of those political insiders and that every choice he ever made in forty years was to move that ambition forward. And he had a LOT of help from his fathers friends the Reagans and his grandfathers friends and… on and on. John McCain is the quintessential “Washington Creature”.

Thank goodness not all are for obama here! YES!
