lockmat Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 The media have been more than kiind, considering Gov. Palin's refusal to meet with them, her frequent spouting of misinformation, her bizarre personal life. They have made every effort to conceal what can no longer be ignored: She's stupid.Not naive. Not 'folksy'. She's genuinely dim-witted.I don't see how whether a candidate meets with the media or not should sway their degree of objectivity. What candidate doesn't spout off misinformation, twist the truth or lie? Bizarre personal life? Bizarre like the thousands of other Christians that agree with her?

CoolBuddy06 Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 This is from first read, and it sounds factual, at least.*** Follow the schedules, not the polls: NBC/WSJ co-pollster Peter Hart (D) sends along this observation: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
editor Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 Bizarre like the thousands of other Christians that agree with her?Not all Christians share her beliefs. "Christian" is too broad a word to use in this context. You have to define your terms to make them meaningful.Mao, Hitler, and Stalin were all atheists. That doesn't mean all atheist politicians are power-hungry mass murderers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BryanS Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 (edited) SNL last night was good. John McCain (the real one) and Sarah Palin on "QVC" ... the shot of Cindy McCain showing off "McCain fine gold"... was good. I have a new respect for Cindy. The set of 12 town hall debate commemorative plates... all blank. McCain was a good sport about it.Video can be found here:http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2008/11/02/m...ampaign-on-snl/ Edited November 2, 2008 by BryanS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trae Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Just reported on CNN that Obama's Grandmother passed away. Here is a link: http://voices.washingtonpost.com/the-trail...other_dies.html Obama's Grandmother Dies By Shailagh Murray CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- A tragic turn of events for Sen. Barack Obama: his ailing grandmother died today. Here's a statement from Obama and his sister Maya Soetoro-Ng: "It is with great sadness that we announce that our grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, has died peacefully after a battle with cancer. She was the cornerstone of our family, and a woman of extraordinary accomplishment, strength, and humility. She was the person who encouraged and allowed us to take chances. She was proud of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and left this world with the knowledge that her impact on all of us was meaningful and enduring. Our debt to her is beyond measure.

Trae Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 (edited) GOP sues over Obama's trip to see grandmotherWhat incredible timing -- coming out with this on the day that the grandmother in question dies:http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/1..._n_140553.htmlOn Monday afternoon, the RNC blasted out a complaint from the California Republican Party charging that "Obama for America violated federal law by converting its campaign funds to Senator Obama's personal use" for the trip. That proposed issue for the FEC to investigate is one of five violations alleged by California Republicans in their complaint.The complaint goes out of its way to stress that it's not condemning the trip, only the Obama campaign's method of paying for it. Stay classy GOP. Edited November 4, 2008 by Trae Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
