Another cue people are missing how hard a job it was for Palin to at all make McCain''s platform sound palatable. Put yourself in her shoes and try and imagine the task you''d have at selling McCain.

Finally, I laid out the position of the bar for the win for Palin before the debate, and pointed out that it seemed that people were demanding she show that she was better at foreign policy than Biden with his 36 yrs of experience, smarter than Barack the former Editor of Harvard Law Review, and able to move poll numbers for mediocre McCain.

I was just thrilled with her performance and totally impressed with Palin. IDNNSG, ummm not so much . . .

PS I just read that Magoo was planning on attacking Barack for his ''radical associations'' rather than craft a functional economic plan, which totally sucks because it means people are going to attack Palin rather than the Vietnam POW with 25 years of experience. I''d just point out that if the polls show Barack with a clear lead, think about whether you really need to go there or whether you''re just doing it because you feel ''attacked''.

Palin is completely unqualified to be president, and McCain will be dead from malignant melanoma within the next 4 years, so just how D-U-M-B do you have to be to vote for McCain/Palin?

Palin''s 15 minutes of fame are OVER. Johnny can''t risk letting anyone ask her any more questions, and he''s going to lose this election and then Palin will be forgotten by everyone-- even the re.tards who drool when they see her becuase she''s supposedly "hot" will forget her when they switch back to drooling over Brittany or whichever skirt it is that next catches their eye.

Do you think she has early onset Alzheimer''s? I doubt it, but it would explain a lot. I''ll believe it if it turns out she fell asleep at the UN. There was nothing particularly ''moral'' about Reagan. He lived a Hollywood life, yet people who think of him as Jesus Christ don''t like ''show business people''. He was very popular, but his policies were failures. We are looking at the failed results of Reaganomics now. In that sense, I believe she would be like him: a failure.

N = not
R = rationally
O = oriented

or!

N = never
R = really
O = objective

Isn''t this fun!

N = nonsensical
R = rhetorical
O = obfuscation

They just beg us to keep looking, don''t they?

Eight years of an expensive war in Iraq, and a reckless economic policy (laud the free market; claim no policing is needed to halt questionable activities at Wall Streets) are the gaudy uniforms Republicans must wear to remind all of the ramifications of wanton arrogance wound around the core of ignorance. In retrospect, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall (fragmented skull bones litter the sidewalk) as his butt was too fat for the wall he sat on.

Is America ready for the next Republican %u201CHazardous Materials Duo%u201D to plunge the country further into an abyss of ignorant and impulsive leaders out touch with the commoners of the US including those from the rest of the world? If the answer is affirmative, then, people get ready to board the train destined for the %u201CGreat Mountain Of No Exit%u201D. John %u201CCrash %u2018em%u201D McCain (does anyone remember this dude was responsible for the loss of four aircrafts before he was shot down in Nam?) partnering Sarah %u201CDiaper %u2018em%u201D Palin will be the cordial engineers. Enjoy the rocky ride!

Selecting a witless (wink! wink) uninformed, bucolic broad as the Vice President of a deranged, impetuous eccentric, regarding himself a maverick (is craziness not a strange loop?) to take controls of the rocket ship America, is a toxic cocktail to brew.

Be advised! Keep your seat belts strapped. The demons encircle McCain%u2019s mind chanting, %u201CJohnny! Johnny! Will you crash the plane%u201D?

Second coming,....I''d rather have that termed kept in reserve for the appropriate Messiah from who it originated from, namely Jesus the Christ. I see Sarah as Ronnie''s smarter ideological sister......She''s WORSER against liberalism. Don''t care if she wears lipstick or not.

The second coming of Ronald Reagan?

Why would America want that nightmare again?

Haven''t we had enough of Republican phylosophy of ''trickle-down supply-side voodoo'' economics?

Finally a Republican George W. Bush admits that his economic policy ''failed'' and that "Our whole economy is in danger",

so why in the hell would we put another Republican in the White House for as long this is America?

Talk about arrogant stupidity.
