Lipstick On A Pig

Isn't Palin's husband part Eskimo...or better said, part Inuit?

[That Guy]

palin also begged for the money for a bridge to nowhere, got the money, and when it turned into a fiasco, went on to say there was no way that bridge would be built (to save face), but then she kept the 100mill+ that congress gave alaska to get it built.

yeah the bridge was stupid, and she was in favor of it, then stole the f'ing money... what a great reformer!

as far as out of context buster - obama (in the youtube clip) said the comment was in regards to the mccain economic plan, so its not like he didn't explain it (And his response was very good).

on the nuclear front, it's both sides killing it. not allowing re-use of fuel rods (which would make nuclear energy MUCH cheaper), not allowing adaptations for ships (nuclear ships can go farther faster and hold more since fuel isn't weighting them down - cheaper too, even with an expanded crew)... and it's cleaner than basically any other form of energy, almost infinitely scalable (the big problem with solar/wind/etc), and you don't even have any real risk (pebble beds don't meltdown). Its stupid we haven't built new nuke plants since what? 1960 something? but the current laws are completely misguided.

Sorry but the dems have faught against nuclear energy every chance they get. I'm sure some rep. have also but they are not in the majority.

I love this youtube thing:

Pfft.

This isn't a presidential race, it's a three ring circus.

All this he said, she said, sounds like a bunch of high schoolers running for student body president.

By time the general elections come, party lines are going to be so huge you're going to need a boat to get across it.

I can't wait till the end of this crap.

The Democratic Party has a whole team of people pouring over tapes and transcripts to find some Republican saying something they can construe as a racist, but now they want to stick to the issues.

It looked to me like the audience in Virginia took it to be a Palin reference based on their reaction. Why would you whoop and cheer for a worn out cliche like that unless you thought it was an attack line.

Also, remember Obama's rationale for not taking public financing? He said he needed the extra cash to deal with the attacks from GOP 527s. Well, the Atlantic Monthly is now reporting that the Obama campaign has told their sympathetic 527s (MoveOn, ACT, etc) to do their worst. They are in absolute meltdown over there.

This happened here in my home area and even peopl there which was interviewed here localy said they took it as a jab at Sarah.

There will be no end. The 2012 race begins on the Wednesday after the election and all this crap will basically continue. It started w/ Clinton and the Repubs hammering him about BS and it has continued w/ Bush and the Dems hammering him about BS. It is our political way now. The thought that either one of these guys is going to take residence in the Whitehouse and set forth to get everyone to work together and sing Kumbaya is laughable. There are too many scorched earth politicians and advisers in DC to ever let that happen again.

It is our system now. Sigh.

It's a system that needs to be blown up.

I 100000000000% agree. Can I agree that much?

Nothing needs to be blown up.

Don't these guys have people writing their speeches for them, or at the very least proof read it? They didn't think that maybe that could be spun in any way????

That being said, I have the utmost confidence that the comment was made with no ill intent. This is a case of the right over reacting. But with all the dirt that has been slung by the left, and all the cheap shots, and the propaganda, you can't blame the right for being a little sensitive.

The Republicans remind me of the bully on the playground that pushes everyone around, but as soon as someone fights back the bully runs and tells the teacher.

That's kind of funny, I feel it's the exact opposite. The Dems can throw whatever they want, and use massive propoganda to their advantage (it's everywhere, look at NBC and ABC...look at ESPN pushing obama but not even inviting McCain for example...shit, they even fight each other, clinton vs obama) they can throw whatever mud they want, and whenever someone fights back a little or sees something else in a comment, they stand up and go "what???" The Dems invented this process, not the republicans. So your comment would be right as long as you switch Republicans with Democrats.
