Lies, More Lies and more Lies

I can not make this stuff up... Obama can not run a corporation and neither can McCain? But McCain is better capable. This from the words of woman that was fired as a CEO in the tank for John McCain? That is believable only if she did not get her exit stradegy bonuses.

Once more, the better for me from the rich is supposedly bettr for you as the poor? What is realy the difference between $15 bucks and hour and $1500 bucks and hour?



How fast does the truth meter have to swing? Give me a break? Do you want the next President to only tell half the truth to half of the Ameican people? I could not make this stuff up if I wanted too? And the GOP runs on a better than thou policy? Enough is enough!

Palin Targeted by Bloggers and the Media

Even John McCain is crying that the press and those of us in the bloggosphere are not being fair to Governor Sarah Palin. He is absolutely right! If he had picked someone with some real life experience in government other than twenty plus months as a Governor then we just might have “vetted” her less. No, John McCain picked an unknown Governor from Alaska that the MSM and left and right wing bloggers know nothing about. I for one think that it is pretty important to know who is only a heartbeat away from the most powerful political office in the world!

This nation is fighting a war on two fronts and John McCain has a problem with people asking questions about someone he wants as his immediate replacement if God chooses that he has to come home? Well the main stream media is going to pound his pick for Vice President into the ground till they know who the hell she is and where she stands on all of the issues and this is supposed to be a race for President based on issues. Politics at this level is not a gentleman’s game, not by far, this is where you better be able to step up fast and fight back fast. There is no topic off the table regardless of kind requests to do so by your political opponent.

There is only one person to blame for the rash of harsh reality based reporting of facts that comes with a presidential race when you pick an unknown person. That would lay fully on the shoulders of John McCain. The press and bloggers are not to blame for the million and one questions that needed to be answered on Sarah Palin. John McCain’s life is an open book, hell, he even has a couple of books you can buy to find out more about him. John McCain is the known person in this discussion and this election, Sarah Palin is not!

The treatment of Sarah Palin would be the same for any Obama candidate for Vice President but Barack Obama was wise and chose a well known and experienced person in the U.S. Senate as his Vice President. Someone with thirty five years worth of public experience that is all well known in the press. Someone like Joe Biden that actually knows how to move change through the congress and get the job done. That is what a Vice President is supposed to do if you were wondering. The Vice President takes the President’s legislation and lobbies it through the Senate and the House. Al Gore did it, George H. W. Bush did it, and so did Lyndon Johnson and Harry Truman. I gave those for former Vice President’s as a reference because in each White House they served under our nation came through great crisis and landed on our feet.

So when people tell you (John McCain) that the job of the Vice President is to inquire to the health of the President each day, it is a gross negligence of thought on how the office of Vice President actually is supposed to work. Furthermore, if that is how he thinks, then Governor Palin is just a pin up girl that looks great on television and not worth her salt at all. His definition of Vice President, not mine.

While John McCain is dead set on the Vice President office being a heart monitor to the President, the current office holder has chosen to use the Vice President’s office as a bully pulpit where not only is the Congress not seeing his service to America but his delegation to others outside of government is extremely evident. Black Water, Haliburton, and skirting the blame for outing of a CIA agent to his staff.

As for Senator McCain claiming that the press is unfair to Governor Palin, did he not read any of the press or blogs while Hillary Clinton was running for President? Hillary was torn apart on each of her positions and she stuck to her guns and her gut feeling on what was best for America. I’m proud to say that Hillary Clinton made it possible for John McCain to pick a woman as Vice President but the same questions given to Hillary Clinton are fair game for Governor Sarah Palin. Hillary Clinton won 18 million votes as a tough candidate that could handle the heat and answer the questions put to her in one of the toughest primary campaigns in history. Something that is expected when you are going to be responsible for almost 400 million American’s future.

Nobody gets a pass when the people want to know who the hell is Sarah Palin and why did John McCain pick her as his Vice President candidate? This isn’t just politics for bloggers. It’s about our wondering who the hell Sarah Palin is! Behind every blog is somebody with a vote. Some of us just happen to have a louder voice than others.

Palin Inexperience Called on by Conservatives

I’ve been researching the choice of Vice President that John McCain made and I’m finding that even his own party is concerned about his pick. While John McCain put some serious thought into his choice for Vice President, pandering to the disgruntled Hillary Clinton supporters, and of course picking someone with his moral values, a person that should be able to slide into the Presidency if God forbid anything happened to him. He forgot a simple fact, experience of his selection for VP.

Even the Conservatives in the Republican Party are concerned over Sarah Palin’s experience. I couldn’t write this any better than the folks over at the National Review that have done it for me. And frankly, I too am concerned with his pick for VP and lack of experience to run America in the lack of a heart beat in John McCain…

Both the pros and the cons are pretty obvious. I’m going to focus on the cons, mostly because conservatives right now seem to be paying them less attention.

The pros: She’s a pro-life conservative reformer from outside Washington, and a woman. The pick signals a boldness and willingness to mix things up that the McCain campaign, like Republicans generally, need.

The cons:

Inexperience. Palin has been governor for about two minutes. Thanks to McCain’s decision, Palin could be commander-in-chief next year. That may strike people as a reckless choice; it strikes me that way. And McCain's age raised the stakes on this issue.

As a political matter, it undercuts the case against Obama. Conservatives are pointing out that it is tricky for the Obama campaign to raise the issue of her inexperience given his own, and note that the presidency matters more than the vice-presidency. But that gets things backward. To the extent the experience, qualifications, and national-security arguments are taken off the table, Obama wins.

And it’s not just foreign policy. Palin has no experience dealing with national domestic issues, either. (On the other hand, as Kate O’Beirne just told me, we know that Palin will be ready for that 3 a.m. phone call: She’ll already be up with her baby.) - National Review

One of the things that keeps grasping at my thoughts is the fact that McCain picked Governor Palin just for the simple fact that she is a woman. Mind you, I don’t know anything about the woman or the investigations she is under while Governor of Alaska but it smells of pandering to women in general as voters. Hillary Clinton is off the list of votes you can cast and that means that there are many angry women in America that just might vote for McCain if he has a woman as his VP? Did anyone in the McCain camp tell the Senator that woman in general have opinions on many of the issues and inserting a uterus into his campaign as Vice President is not going to convince them to change their opinion’s on the issues they face every single day?

Last time I checked, Hillary Clinton is a strong Liberal Democrat that is night and day on every position to the Governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin! You can not interchange the two woman just because one of them comes from the land of the midnight sun! What the hell was McCain thinking? Did he think that all woman are mindless zombies and will vote for a fellow woman just because she is a woman? Let me think about this, NOT! Issues Senator McCain are important to woman, and if anything, I would tend to think the highly educated women of America can see through this stunt.

One of the things that my generation is known for is that you do not for one minute assume that any women is ignorant of politics. What is that old saying from the McCain generation? When you assume you make an Ass/U/Me.

Belly up to the sink Governor Palin, the Senator needs the dishes washed. Pick a house he owns and just wash the damn dishes. McCain only picked her as a running mate to tap into the massive Hillary Clinton vote with the full expectation of stealing the votes with a token woman as Vice President. 18 million voters were behind Senator Hillary Clinton in her race for President but they were not all woman Senator McCain! There is no other way he could win and give us four more years of Bush Policy and government in his mind than picking a woman as his VP. Does that not wreak of male chauvinism?

At the least, Obama picked someone that could help him with foreign policy, world affairs, and someone that we as American’s would not have a problem with being President if Obama were to fall. Um, Senator McCain, did you actually check out her experience in government?
