c) I'm not making any excuses for it. It is what it is - tacky debate tactics.

d) I'm not throwing up YouTube links for anything, and if I had to venture a guess I'd say that if anyone is throwing up YouTube links ad nauseum it would be the Democrats.

I guess I rushed to conclusion. My apologies. I also don't consider myself a Democrat, but would not consider myself a Republican at all. I have voted for both parties in the past. For the record, I consider myself a conservative in many aspects(small government, states rights, fiscally, etc), but socially I am liberal(pro-choice, selective social programs,environment, foreign policy, etc). I really seem my ideals in line with Jefferson and the original "Democrat-Republicans".

Also I do not particularly put much weigh into these videos. I dont think its a big deal he said shit, but if that Obama video is being debated we should talk about this.

Finally I dont think anything is wrong with the amount of Palin videos, because people need to know she is an idiot and a terrible candidate. I dont get a cheap laugh off those videos, they terrify me.
