jamesm....I think that the poster simply made a spelling error. We all knew what she/he meant. And even though I detest Palin, I believe that her daughter should be off limits. This poor girl is going to have a rough way to go if she is forced to marry this punk who got her pregnant. He is clearly one of those macho types who will treat her like ***** and do whatever pleases him. I feel sorry for the girl. I''ll be glad when Palin can go back to Alaska so we don''t have to listen to her bald faced lies any more.

jamesm....FYI..If the female is under the age of 18 and the male is over the age of 18, even if the s e x is consentual it is still classified as statutory rape. There have been cases, one recently in Georgia, where the male has been sent to prison even though the female declined to press charges. Why don''t you take the time to inform yourself before you come on here and make claims that are not based in fact?

McCain/Failing ticket is a vote for more of Bush economics, more of Bush foreign policy ("The Bush Doctrine"), and more Bush ethics of denial, secrecy, and lack of accountability. Expect more Enrons, bailouts, and increased debt to China. Long gone will be the days when Bill Clinton created a surplus for the government. Heck, McCain brings a VP nominee already embroiled in investigation for abuse of power. His solution is to berate the investigative process, which was started before she was picked to be his nominee. Sarah Failin has learned all she needs to know, can you say EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE? What a Crockpot of fecal matter!

It''''s really about a difference in philosophy. The republicans have it backwards! They insist on de-regulating business while regulating individual%u2019s bedrooms, women%u2019s uterus%u2019s, as well as all civil liberties. On the other hand, democrats regulate business (so that we don%u2019t have to bail out AIG%u2019s at taxpayer expense%u2026don%u2019t have ENRON%u2019s) while protecting individual civil liberties! Democrats are for CHOICE in all matters; whereas, republicans are for more torture - Abu Ghraib - Guantanamo - killing - Lying - slander - Denial lack of accountability - SPIN baby SPIN! McCain/Failing for more pork barrel pigs in lipstick!

If republicans had their way, we would be required by law to follow all of the 10 commandments! Poor McCain wouldn''t have been able to exercise CHOICE to ditch his first wife, Carol, for non-adulterous reasons. Sarah Failing''s daughter and her under age lover would be jailed with a scarlet letter on her forehead!

It seems strange that John McCain would choose a running mate who is the subject of an ethics probe of this sort, which if it turns out badly could damage his chances right before the election. But this only proves what a high risk gamble the decision to choose Palin was in addition to her serious lack of experience should she ever become president in the event of some national emergency.

Do we really want a 72 year old %u201Chigh risk%u201D gambler, who sings %u201Cbomb, bomb Iran%u201D%u2026who reacts without questioning that %u201Cwe are all Georgians%u201D%u2026who violated the military code of conduct as a POW by giving more than name, rank and serial number (he gave the location of his target and his base in return for preferential treatment by his captors)%u2026 who divorced his first wife and mother of his children, Carol, not for biblically allowed reasons (adultery) but merely because, while waiting faithfully as a POW wife, she was in a car wreck on Christmas Eve and when McCain returned 2 years later, she wasn%u2019t quite the %u201Cfashion model%u201D anymore (she gained some weight and walked with a limp). So much for %u201Cin sickness or in health,%u201D right?

Sadly, McCain%u2019s life story is that of a morally bankrupt individual and he is NOT qualified to be president nor commander in chief.

As a POW, McCain gave out more than "name, rank, and serial number!" McCain gave the enemy the location of his base as well as the target he was going to bomb. He also told them his father was the famous Admiral McCain. In return, for giving out confidential, classified information in violation of the US military Code of Conduct, McCain was given preferential treatment by his captors. Upon McCain%u2019s POW release and return to the states, within 1 month McCain divorced his first wife, Carol (she was a former model), because in the 3rd year of her loyal waiting for her POW husband and father of their 3 children to return, on Christmas eve while in route to deliver Christmas presents to family friends she was injured in a car wreck that required 20 operations and left her with weight gain and a limp. In total violation of biblical teaching, that states flatly that divorce is allowable only for adultery, McCain ditched Carol and married Cindi; hence, McCain and Cindi are committing adultery before our eyes. Bristol Palin, the daughter of McCain%u2019s VP nominee, is an unwed, teenage pregnant mother having committed adultery in violation of Biblical teaching. McCain-Palin=Adultery First! McCain-Palin=Broker than the 10 commandments! Too bad McCain-Palin actions are in direct contrast to their Christian right-wing holier than thou attitudes and policies.

Federal Bailouts (so far):

$8,900,000,000 IndyMac
$30,000,000,000 Bear Stearns
$85,000,000,000 AIG
$200,000,000,000 Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac


on top of $9,000,000,000,000 debt and Bush is seeking $700,000,000,000 more to bail out the fatcats! wow!

A couple more:

%u2022 ''Germany'' for ''Russia'': A YouTube clip from last year memorializes McCain referring to Vladimir Putin of Russia %u2014 following a trip to Germany %u2014 as ''President Putin of Germany.''

%u2022 This spring, McCain said troops in Iraq were ''down to pre-surge levels'' when in fact there were 20,000 more troops than when the surge policy began.

Who is Grover Norquist?

In 1999 Grover Norquist was instrumental in securing early support for then Texas Governor George W. Bush, continuing a decades-long association with Karl Rove. ("The Wall Street Journal''''s John Fund dubbed him "the Grand Central Station" of conservatism and told The Nation: "It''''s not disputable" that Norquist was the key to the Bush campaign''''s surprising level of support from movement conservatives in 2000"). After Bush''''s election to the White House in 2000, Norquist was the prime architect behind the many Bush tax-cuts.

The "Wednesday Meeting" of Norquist''''s Leave Us Alone Coalition has become an important hub of conservative political organizing. George W. Bush began sending a representative to the Wednesday Meeting even before he formally announced his candidacy for president in 1999. "Now a White House aide attends each week," reported USA Today in June 2001. "Vice President Cheney sends his own representative. So do GOP congressional leaders, right-leaning think tanks, conservative advocacy groups and some like-minded K Street lobbyists. The meeting has been valuable to the White House because it is the political equivalent of one-stop shopping. By making a single pitch, the administration can generate pressure on members of Congress, calls to radio talk shows, and political buzz from dozens of grassroots organizations.

Grover%u2019s Vision:

An America in which the rich will be taxed at the same rates as the poor, where the minimum wage is repealed, unions are made irrelevant, and law-abiding citizens can pack handguns in every state and town. "My ideal citizen is the self-employed, homeschooling, IRA-owning guy with a concealed-carry permit," says Norquist. "Because that person doesn''''t need the godd@mn government for anything."

Norquist is famous for saying, "I don''''t want to abolish government. I simply want to reduce it to the size where I can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub." His plan is for the federal government to amass massive debt without increasing taxes on the rich, if the federal government is mired in huge debt it can no longer fund social programs of any kind, including Social Security, Medicaid, Veterans benefits...

Shall we get started on McCain''s gaffes?


Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said ''Iraq'' on Monday when he apparently meant ''Afghanistan'', adding to a string of mixed-up word choices that is giving ammunition to the opposition.

Just in the past three weeks, McCain has also mistaken ''Somalia'' for ''Sudan,'' and even football%u2019s Green Bay Packers for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Just for starters.

There are plenty of things about McCain to worry about - like policy issues. Lets not do to him what they do to Obama and lie about his record. The truth will speak on its own.

Bottom line: McCain was treated better than other POWs, made 20 - 30 propaganda videos for the enemy! Told them his father was the great admiral McCain. Ditched his faithful wife, Carol, and mother of his children a month after his return to run of with rodeo queen, Cindi. Face it, McCain does not have the integrity nor temperament to be president nor commander in chief! McCain is a con artist

OBAMA IS LEADING! In the polls, in history, in new voter registration, in fundraising, in campaign management, by every metric possible! Conventional wisdom has always said that you can determine how a president will lead by observing how he leads his campaign and the decision he made in picking his vice presidential nominee! Obama/Biden 08, real leadership for a new generation! What a STELLAR campaign being run by an incredible young, American leader! Go OBAMA/BIDEN

Henry Kissinger is one of those people who never accomplished much, but was always more famous for being famous. Karzai, Saakashvili and Ukrainian Yushchenko are not so much world leaders as they are local pawns. I wonder if Palin told them she can see Russia from her house?
