When Will Palin Meet the Press?

It seems Palin is not going to meet the press to discuss her policy, as much as McCain is not going to meet foreign leaders whom he disagrees with. While Palin wants to beat the press, McCain wants to bomb other countries. Trashing the hardwork and dedication community organizers, last night she shamelessly bragged about her PTA activities. She must have been so hyper-active in the PTA, that she did not realize her teenage daughter was pregnant!

Of course Palin is not taking questions from the Press. She has much to answer for on her background and experience, the misinformation she has promoted and the fact that the Rebublicans are seriously scared to talk about any of the real issues that Americans care about since they are wrong on most of them.

No, they won't --- are you kidding there is too much dirt on her.

This is how republicans give speaches: rarely do the facts support their positions or even the off the wall remarks. Her votes, Senior Huchabuck, were 909; Biden recieved 79,754

But there was nothing in her speech and she never told anything truthful about herself just a bunch of info that was totally false - even as the news about her is coming out in buckets. Her response to that was attacking the press..what a joke.

Explain why Levi Johnston shouldn't be arrested as a pedophile.

How can she protect the country if she can't protect her own kids from pedophiles?

This is his second child; the first was with a 13 year old girl. Even by Alaskan standards (which are very loose) that is a bit young.

Sick.... really sick... yea, we want her in the White House. Her and her husband are good evangelicals, and typical of the breed. But lets move on to other issues.

Her husband and daughter: is child #5 really Sarah's? I don' believe so after looking at family photos on the internet. The eldest daughter is the mother for sure, but is the father of that child Sarah's husband? Let's do a little DNA test.

Will she support states that wish to secede from the United States, since her and her husband were both in a party pushing to have Alaska secede from the Union?

Will she legalize pot since she smokes it herself?

Will she change her position and start supporting unwed mothers, particularly teens so they can finish an education through college?

Last night, this woman was pathetic. Nothing to say that was grounded in reality and less to say about solving our problems except continue the same old republican bull that has existed since Reagan and have proven a failure to all but the rich.

What a joke on McCain by his own party.

And today from the same group that exposed Edwards, the news is she had an affair...oh, no.

He claims to put "country first". He'd better give the public access this woman... a relative unknown that he wants as his running mate, as our Vice President. Anything less is unpatriotic, unethical and obviously puts his campaign first. I hope the media doesn't roll over on this one. No one should let up on the McCain camp until Palin is fully investigated and interviewed. It's our right.

burf — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 23:59:05 GMT

Come on, it's obvious she's unprepared. But as usual, the Media is afraid to ask the GOP any tough questions.

Aside from Campbell Brown the other day, the McCain Campaign gets a pass, from the Media.

And we know how the GOP responded to the Campbell Brown interview.

Then, after never being interviewed, Palin'll show up at the debate with Biden, and the Media will say *she hit a home run,* because she showed up.

And if Biden challenges her on anything, you guys will crucify him, for being tough with a lady.

You guys should be ashamed of yourselves. You went apesh** on Pres Clinton, for lying about his affair. Bush lies us into war... nothing. McCain has flipped on everything that earned him the *maverick* label, yet, the Media continues to push that McCain is a Maverick, Hero, GOP-Defying, Straight-Talking, Foreign Policy Wizard. Again... nothing from the Media on his flips.

You just allow the GOP to get away with anything.

I promise you, if you guys would make some noise, publicly - - *what is the McCain Campaign hiding?* Why won't they let her be interviewed? - - you'd be doing the Country a public service.

But, unfortunately, I've lost all respect for you guys, because you never do.

And you're failing to call out all the lies, the GOP is spewing. Even something so silly, like how the GOP is blaming the Dems (or Liberals) for the sorry state of the nation. The fact that the GOP has held the White House 28 of the last 40 years, including the last 8 years... nominated seven of the nine Supreme Court justices and held Congress for 12 of the last 14 years, including 6 of the last 8 years, is ignored.

What's missing from the Convention: having had the Presidency for 8 years, and Congress for 6 of those 8 years, why aren't they harping on all their *great* accomplishments over that period?

Instead, it's the Dems fault... and the Media's fault.

So much, for the Party of *Personal Responsibility.*

The Press?....is there a Press left ? ....does America know what the Press is ? Its already a proven fact that the Press is left-wing Marxist extremism in the tank with Obama with very few exceptions.

Of course any member of this "Press" will cut down Sarah Palin because they're all paid off by Obama's campaign !

The " Press " ..I put them in the same category as William Ayers , Reverend Wright , Louis Farrakhan, Rev Pfleger , Tony Rezko , and any other radical , extremist , Anti-American group.

Jonathan, Jonathan. The mainstream press is bankrupt. Morally, intellectually and almost financially. You, the press, have totally, shamelessly, unapologetically, abdicated any vetting function regarding Obama. The man is a cipher. No one, including you, knows anything about him, and no one is asking. Look into the Annenberg foundation records. Look into what he actually did as an Acorn operative. No one has mentioned the failures of Biden that caused him to drop out of the Presidential race in 1988. Isn't he still a plagiarist? Just because Delaware is foolish enough to keep electing him doesn't change his record. And not one syllable, much less a word, has been written. Need I mention John Edwards? The man was a viable Democratic primary candidate, and you gave him a complete and total pass. You were upstaged by the National Enquirer, for Pete's sake.

So save your self righteous claptrap about who is going to look into Sarah Palin. You have no right to. Personally, I don't care what you write. It is as totally predictable as it will be meaningless.

Ok chrisdafrog - if the eldest daughter is, explain how she can give birth and be one month pregnant at the same time, which is how the timeline works. It's a biological impossibility. Ok, since you've gone public and now you are in the open - let's see your bank account deposit records and prove to us you are not on the Obama-Biden campaign payroll being given your marching orders to spread this crap! Yuou want DNA tests, I want bank records.

The Obama-Biden, or should I say Obama Bin Biden campaign is behind this - the radipdity in which the "Bristol is the mom" crap hit the internet shows it was a coordinated attack that was well financed.

I remember when the Republican Party had serious people, several prominent intellectuals, even a Nelson Rockefeller wing, etc., who valued achievement and were patriotic. Now it’s become an anti-intellectual Christianist identity party (theology first, country second) that has too often elevated mediocrity to positions of authority. I include Harriet Miers and the US Attorney scandal in this. I’m not sure yet if Governor Palin is in this category (she can certainly give a good stump speech and seems a decent municipal-level manager), but her hasty selection, apparently on a whim with Lieberman and Ridge weren’t acceptable, speaks to a lack of seriousness about governing our country.

Now granted, the Democrats are associated with identity politics too (African-Americans, Latinos, etc.), but they’re not under the control of a single identity group this year, so they don’t scare me like the Republicans do.

Steelworkers President To Palin: ‘Stop Using Your Husband’s Membership In The USW As A Prop’»

When Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) introduced Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate, he trumpeted her husband’s union membership:

“The person I’m about to introduce to you was a union member and is married to a union member, and understands the problems, the hopes and the values of working people,” he said. That day, and again last night, Palin also emphasized that her husband is “a proud member of the United Steelworkers Union.”

Conservatives are hoping the reference will play well in Michigan and Ohio. But the United Steelworkers union (USW) isn’t so pleased. USW President Leo Gerard noted that just because Todd Palin is a union member doesn’t mean that Palin is automatically qualified to represent labor interests:

It is important to realize that while the governor’s husband is a member of a union, this does not automatically qualify her for an on-the-job training program to become a heartbeat away from the presidency. And while her husband is one of 850,000 dues-paying members of the steelworkers union, it does nothing to absolve Sen. McCain of his long history of anti-union sentiment and anti-worker actions.

In fact, McCain’s hostility to unions and union priorities runs deep:

– McCain voted to block the Employee Free Choice Act, making it easier for workers to unionize. [6/26/07]

– McCain condemned unions as “serious excesses” and said government workers are “crippled” by union contracts. [10/9/07; 5/21/07]

– McCain voted to filibuster a minimum wage hike last year. [1/24/07]

– McCain voted against a bill protecting discrimination against workers who go on strike, effectively allowing companies to hire permanent replacements for striking workers. [S. 55, 7/13/94]

– McCain voted against an amendment providing more effective remedies to victims of gender discrimination in the payment of wages. [7/17/07]

Last night, Gerard demanded that Palin “stop using USW as a prop.” Noting McCain’s opposition to the top priorities on USW’s agenda, Gerard asked Palin:

Are you with McCain – and against workers – on these issues? If so, you need to stop using your husband’s membership in the USW as a prop, because then his union card cannot possibly cover up your or John McCain’s worker-savaging positions.

Sarah Palin As United States Vice President

John McCain has selected Sarah Palin as his running mate for this election. There are great controversy surrounding McCain choice. First S. P. is a relatively new political figure with little experience who was the mayor of Wasilla and then governor of Alaska for less than two years. She claims that her seventeen years old daughter was pregnant with a five month old baby and her husband has a drunk driving record 22 years ago. There are simply too many gossips in this world and people are tired of them. The above negative publicity should not affect this VP candidate.

This is my own original truth political incorrect political analysis of Sarah Palin on her strong points as vice president candidate and possible contribution to vote and election:

(1) She is young, very pretty with great sex appeal to straight men and lesbian women.

(2) From the West mostly battle ground states such as Alaska, Oregon, Hawaii and Washington State. There is also potentials for a California victory which will definitely decisive on the whole election. Obama was born in Hawaii, Obama's defeat there will be his greatest humiliation.

(3) Alaska is one of the biggest oil producing state. When oil drilling is the number one issue in this election being a governor of Alaska will certainly help.

(4) By the same token, Alaska is the last remaining wilderness of the U. S. A. It is a good opportunity for the Republican to show their concern of the Environment by using Sarah Palin

(5) Her pregnant teenage daughter will draw sympathy from those who were teenage unwedded mothers and pro-life anti-abortion voters. Single mothers will also be attracted to the Republican Party.

(6) She was the military commander of the Alaska Air National Guard which is useful experience for a future Commander-in-Chief of the country. McCain was also a professional soldier himself. Everyone knows that Alaska is bordering Russia and near China and Japan with one fourth of all U. S. nuclear missiles located in that state.

(7) She is a woman therefore will attract women voters.

(8) Sarah Palin represent the only executive administrative experience of both Republican and Democratic Party. All the candidates McCain, Obama and J. Bidden have only legislative experience.

(9) Sarah Palin represents White who have been displaced from the lower 48 states due to crimes and harassments from Blacks there. Those White have little or no choice but to seek Northern Exposure living in Alaska seeking peace and quiet. They will certainly revenge Black intimidation and harassments.

(10) She also represents tradition White American family of the Puritan values as opposed to those predominately single parent unwedded mother type Black family. This is probably best describe Palin's social status.

(11) Neither McCain nor Palin are political correct. They only speak the truth and are very "genuine, what you see is what you get!" as quoted from an Alaskan Republican Convention delegate. The same apply to me, I am genuine and only speak the truth whether you like it or not. That's why I hand pick McCain and Palin.

McCain and Palin will be elected then formed secret police to get rid of their Black opponents.

My words though usually hard to swallow are truth. Politically correct and sweet words which are lies and deceptions will hurt our world. I am surprise how ignorant men have become! Why they have to come to this stage. How stupid are you people?

Omaar — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 07:36:05 GMT

SARAH PALIN IS A FAKER...SO PLEASE, DON'T MISTAKE HER !!!

•PALIN: "[Obama] is a man who can give an entire speech about the wars America is fighting, and never use the word 'victory' except when he's talking about his own campaign."

FACT: On July 15, in a speech in Washington, D.C., Obama twice used the word "victory" in reference to Iraq.

"In fact," he said, "true success in Iraq -- victory in Iraq -- will not take place in a surrender ceremony where an enemy lays down their arms. ... I want Iraqis to take responsibility for their own future, and to reach the political accommodation necessary for long-term stability. That's victory. That's success. That's what's best for Iraq, that's what's best for America, and that's why I will end this war as president.

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

A week later in Berlin, Germany, on July 23, Obama used the word "victory" three times to describe Allied successes during World War II. And in a June speech about the prospect of universal health care, he said Sen. Hillary Clinton "will be central to that victory."

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

•PALIN: "There is much to like and admire about our opponent. But listening to him speak, it's easy to forget that this is a man who has authored two memoirs but not a single major law or reform -- not even in the state senate."

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

FACT: The meaning of "major" is open to debate, but Obama worked with Republicans, including Sen. Richard Luger of Indiana, to pass legislation that would expand efforts to intercept illegal shipments of weapons of mass destruction and to destroy conventional weapons stockpiles.

While a state senator in Illinois, he sponsored two contentious bills, one that studied racial profiling by police and another that ordered interrogations in potential death penalty cases to be recorded.

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

•PALIN: "I fought to bring about the largest private-sector infrastructure project in North American history. And when that deal was struck, we began a nearly $40 billion natural gas pipeline to help lead America to energy independence.

That pipeline, when the last section is laid and its valves are opened, will lead America one step farther away from dependence on dangerous foreign powers that do not have our interests at heart."

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

FACT: That infrastructure project has not yet been approved by federal regulators. The proposed pipeline would ship natural gas from the Alaska's North Slope to homes and businesses across the United States. In June, the Alaskan legislature, with Palin's prodding, agreed to pay Canadian energy company TransCanada $500 million as an incentive to build the pipeline.

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

•PALIN: "And I have protected the taxpayers by vetoing wasteful spending: nearly half a billion dollars in vetoes. I suspended the state fuel tax and championed reform to end the abuses of earmark spending by Congress. I told the Congress 'thanks, but no thanks,' for that Bridge to Nowhere."

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

FACT: While serving as mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, Palin hired Steven Silver, a former chief of staff for Sen. Ted Stevens, to lobby Congress for earmarks. Wasilla received around $27 million in federal money, about as much as Boise, Idaho. Boise has a population of 200,000 people, compared with Wasilla's 10,000. Earmarked funds went to sewage improvements and improving roads connecting the town to a local ski resort.

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

As for the Bridge to Nowhere, Palin initially supported using federal funds to build a $398 million bridge from Ketchikan to Gravina Island, which has 50 residents and a small airport.

It was not until the plan was ridiculed that she withdrew her support. Critics contend she still supports using federal money to build a 3.4 mile Road to Nowhere on the island for $26 million -- from the funds for the bridge.

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

•PALIN: While I was at it, I got rid of a few things in the governor's office that I didn't believe our citizens should have to pay for. That luxury jet was over the top. I put it on eBay. I also drive myself to work.

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

FACT: Soon after entering office, Palin put the state-owned Westwind II jet that her predecessor Frank Murkowski purchased amid much criticism. When the deal fell through with the sole eBay bidder, the plane was sold offline.

Alaskan businessman Larry Reynolds paid $2.1 million for the jet after learning about it from Republican John L. Harris, speaker of the Alaskan House of Representatives.

Palin, as she said, drives herself to work. In July, her Chevy Suburban was rear-ended while driving from Wasilla to her office in downtown Anchorage.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

109th Congress

Obama took an active role in the Senate's drive for improved border security and immigration reform. In 2005, he cosponsored the "Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act" introduced by Sen. John McCain (R-AZ).

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

He later added three amendments to the "Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act", which passed the Senate in May 2006, but failed to gain majority support in the U.S. House of Representatives.

In September 2006, Obama supported a related bill, the Secure Fence Act, authorizing construction of fencing and other security improvements along the United States–Mexico border.

President Bush signed the Secure Fence Act into law in October 2006, calling it "an important step toward immigration reform."

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

Senate bill sponsors Tom Coburn (R-OK) and Obama discuss the Coburn-Obama Transparency Act.

Partnering first with Sen. Dick Lugar (R-IN), and then with Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK), Obama successfully introduced two initiatives bearing his name. "Lugar-Obama" expands the Nunn-Lugar cooperative threat reduction concept to conventional weapons, including shoulder-fired missiles and anti-personnel mines.

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

The Lugar-Obama initiative subsequently received $48 million in funding.

The "Coburn-Obama Transparency Act" provides for the web site USAspending.gov, managed by the Office of Management and Budget. The site lists all organizations receiving Federal funds from 2007 onward and provides breakdowns by the agency allocating the funds, the dollar amount given, and the purpose of the grant or contract.

In December 2006, President Bush signed into law the "Democratic Republic of the Congo Relief, Security, and Democracy Promotion Act," marking the first federal legislation to be enacted with Obama as its primary sponsor.

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

As a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Obama made official trips to Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.

In August 2005, he traveled to Russia, Ukraine, and Azerbaijan. The trip focused on strategies to control the world's supply of conventional weapons, biological weapons, and weapons of mass destruction as a first defense against potential terrorist attacks.

Following meetings with U.S. military in Kuwait and Iraq in January 2006, Obama visited Jordan, Israel, and the Palestinian territories. At a meeting with Palestinian students two weeks before Hamas won the legislative election,

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

Obama warned that "the U.S. will never recognize winning Hamas candidates unless the group renounces its fundamental mission to eliminate Israel."

He left for his third official trip in August 2006, traveling to South Africa, Kenya, Djibouti, Ethiopia and Chad. In a nationally televised speech at the University of Nairobi, he spoke forcefully on the influence of ethnic rivalries and corruption in Kenya.

The speech touched off a public debate among rival leaders, some formally challenging Obama's remarks as unfair and improper, others defending his positions.

110th Congress

In the first month of the newly Democratic-controlled 110th Congress, Obama worked with Russ Feingold (D–WI) to eliminate gifts of travel on corporate jets by lobbyists to members of Congress and require disclosure of bundled campaign contributions under the "Honest Leadership and Open Government Act," which was signed into law in September 2007.

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

He joined Chuck Schumer (D-NY) in sponsoring S. 453, a bill to criminalize deceptive practices in federal elections, including fraudulent flyers and automated phone calls, as witnessed in the 2006 midterm elections.

Obama's energy initiatives scored pluses and minuses with environmentalists, who welcomed his sponsorship with John McCain (R-AZ) of a climate change bill to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by two-thirds by 2050, but were skeptical of his support for a bill promoting liquefied coal production.

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

Obama also introduced the "Iraq War De-Escalation Act of 2007," a bill to cap troop levels in Iraq, begin phased redeployment, and remove all combat brigades from Iraq before April 2008.

Later in 2007, Obama sponsored with Kit Bond (R-MO) an amendment to the 2008 Defense Authorization Act adding safeguards for personality disorder military discharges, and calling for a review by the Government Accountability Office following reports that the procedure had been used inappropriately to reduce government costs.

He sponsored the "Iran Sanctions Enabling Act" supporting divestment of state pension funds from Iran's oil and gas industry, and joined Chuck Hagel (R-NE) in introducing legislation to reduce risks of nuclear terrorism.

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

A provision from the Obama-Hagel bill was passed by Congress in December 2007 as an amendment to the State-Foreign Operations appropriations bill.

Obama also sponsored a Senate amendment to the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) to provide one year of job protection for family members caring for soldiers with combat-related injuries.

After passing both houses of Congress with bipartisan majorities, SCHIP was vetoed by President Bush in early October 2007, a move Obama said "shows a callousness of priorities that is offensive to the ideals we hold as Americans.

Palin is getting the same privilege as OBAMA by being the new kid on the block right now. Oh, don't bother little Miss Sarah....she is new at this national media thing. (Translation: she will say or do something STUPID to damage the party) Obama was a mere babe when put up against Hillary for the first few months. HE would absolutely NOT debate her. However, he grew some backbone and underwent massive training and grew as a candidate to compete with her on a public viewpoint. Palin only has 2 months to get in the groove. Her debate opponent is BIDEN. She probably has NO time to mess with the press if she will be going toe to toe with BIDEN. He is GOOD and she will have to at least hold her own to keep any respect she has gained at the RNC. It's easy to say nasty things to your opponent when they are not in the ring, but when you are going hand to hand inside the ring....that is when you see their TRUE abilities.

"That it's. One week. Millions of dollars. Fifteen thousand reporters. And "I'm happy to be the governor of Alaska" is all we have to show for it."

Who is the "we" here, Mr. Romano? What sense of entitlement entitles you to demand more? "We" the public got an hour long interview with Sarah Palin, and she passed with flying colors. Even after you had three or four days to try to destroy her. If she talks to you at ALL, you should consider yourself lucky. As for the rest of us, we do not need YOU, not one minute's worth, to figure her out. And I believe many of us have, and are quite satisfied.

To jburack: With all due respect, by stating, "We the public got an hour long interview with Sarah Palin", you've completely missed the entire point of this piece. Palin's SPEECH was not an INTERVIEW. There is a VERY big and important difference. Lots of people can give a good speech. She gave a very good speech. "We" as citizens of this country should demand from a potential leader -- democrat, republican, whatever -- that they are able to do more than give a good speech.

If we, as voters, don't demand that our politicians answer our questions, not only the ones they choose to in speeches, than we deserve what we get.

People are glad they got to examine Obama and McCain over the past 18 months. Joe Biden has had press access from the start. Seems like the same people who wanted a fire lit under Senator Obama, are afraid to have Governor Palin put to the same test. Why is this? After all, she might be their Vice President! I have a feeling that it has more to do with being high from her good speech at the convention. When we fall in love, we are afraid to examine too closely or we might lose what feels so good right now. By the way, if they are so confident about her, why must they keep her on a leash and keep the press away?

Anyone else got a creepy feeling in their gut? I sure hope so.

Hypothetical situation:

A candidate announces an unknown, totally unexpected vice presidential running mate. Off the record, high level people, from the same party, say they know the VP nominee was a rushed selection and the vetting process was abbreviated, the candidate says this isn't so. No one was sent to the nominee's state, where she is governor, and that governorship is the criteria used to as evidence of candidate's credibility, to speak to anyone there who has worked with her until after the selection is announced. They claim if they did that it would ruin the surprise. The presidential candidate admits to only actually meeting his VP selection one time. When the media reports these undisputed facts, even by the campaign's admission, the campaign responds by calling the media biased and sexist.

The VP candidate is introduced to her fellow party members, and the world via television, at the RNC. She gives a stirring, well recieved speech that consists mostly of sarcastic, smug, criticism of the opposing candidate with very little mention of policy, then she disappears to a hotel room where she is cloistured out of public and media view. All media access to her is cut off. She is not allowed to answer any questions. While the VP of the other party is under the heat of "Meet the Press", she is being given a crash course in national and foreign policy.

Days after her speech at the convention, there is still no press access. There is talk of her doing shows like Ellen Degeneres and Larry King, which will be controlled and only certain questions allowed. When it is suggested that she should be treated like all the other candidates and take questions from the media, there is wrath. The media is being sexist and unfair.

In the meantime, there is a short two and a half months left before election day. There are some people who feel that her speech at the convention was sufficient. They are ready to mark a box next to her name because they liked how much she didn't like the other guy running, or they will vote for that party no matter what. There are others who need more information than that but may not get any more.

Obviously, this is really not hypothetical at all. How do you all feel about this? In my entire adult life, and I am not young, I have never observed anything like this. It scares me. I pray that Americans will demand to see the unscripted Sarah Palin before voting for her. It is way too serious a time in our country's history to hand the next in charge position to someone who refuses to answer questions about policy. Why is that, anyways?

We the people should not stand for her not being made available to answer question on the issues. If the McCain camp does not allow this to happen, then we should all punish him by not voting for his ticket. If he felt that she was qualified enough to be on his ticket then let her prove it.

Not a Hypothetical Situation:

A Vice Presidential Candidate manages to get in front of the American electorate without being tarred and feathered by the press in order to "prep" the sensibilities and opinion of the people who see her for the first time. People are able to see and hear her without preconceived opinions. And she does very very well. This out-of-sequence appearance threw the press and the opposing side into turmoil. Now they are going to have to work much harder and be a bit more devious in how they criticize her. It was worth it if nothing else to see Keith Olbermann sputtering and stammering. There will be plenty of time for the most vigorous, ambitiously destructive, agenda-driven forces of the press and the Obama/Biden cabal to have their way with her before the election. She will do quite well - maybe even better than that - given the viewing public will now have a much different response in how much credence it places in the press attacks -and the attacks have already begun. MSNBC is already broadcasting that she will have to "cram" for the debates with Biden who himself had some really wacky ideas about Iraq during the debates. Stark differences in policy on both sides will be revealed in both the Prez and the VP debates - not to worry. The press will tell us what we really heard and they will have legions of people fact checking to find fault. The American people should always keep in mind that the press is not elected and it has much more power than most people realize - and is more effective in shaping public opinion on important issues than any of our elected officials. Now that's scary.

THE McCAIN/PALIN TEAM KEEP SAYING THAT THEY ARE THE TRUE CHANGE AGENTS WHO CAN SAVE THE COUNTRY. JOHN McCAIN HAS BEEN A WASHINGTON INSIDER FOR ALMOST 30 YEARS AND HE IS WELDED TO THE CURRENT POLICIES THAT ARE DESTROYING AMERICA.

The man McCain comes from a long lineage of warriors. His ancestry was resolute with war.

Hence the man was born into war.

As he runs his campaign, war is his touchstone to the people!

Born, raised and winding his life through in and about war he tells us his story...

Yet it does not seem to matter to him that the Vietnam War in which he served was an imperialistic nationalistic blunder to stop communism from taking over the world! The pro war hype of that era would have our nation believe we were in grave danger- "fear" was once again our guiding light!

I was a young boy. I witnessed this abomination of our nation going into that war- “stop the communists, they are taking over the world!” That was the word of the day. "The domino effect will..."

McCain, even to this day feels betrayed by the American peace movement as to why the Vietnam War was lost. This is familiar ground as the current American War culture (The GOP) has manifest itself once again in Iraq!

The Iraq War, a war that McCain said we needed and voted for! Yet another war that historically will go down as a political assignation of our constitution and our cultural beliefs! Another huge loss of national equity and the betrayal of our beloved youth all for the political ego and a lack of political wisdom!

Wars are won or lost by the rightness of the participants Mr. McCain!

As our nations history goes we have never lost a war when we were right but we have lost a war because we were ideologically wrong! Its not just about strength its about wisdom and justice!

McCains campaign video and speech are sequenced within his life of war.

Service, gratitude of and for his country is based on his war experience.

Then McCain's video biography sequences into his career as an AZ. senator.

Twenty-six years of senatorial time are blurred into nothingness!

His voting record parallels the GOP- a 10% difference from the GOP is supposed to define his presidency, define his given name the “Maverick?”

His record cannot be hidden, his ideology is full of contradiction-flip flops!

President Bush said, “Im the War president, Im the War president!”

It most definitely seems there is another one named John McCain following in the wings!

I truly hope he is not the next!

And as Mccain portrays himself as different from "W" who do I see at the republican convention directing the RNC program? Karl Rove!

McCain is the sams as Bush -the same divisive folks, same convention. the same idealology!
