uh a56581 - I believe American Biker is right of the center, not left.

One other correction - if a Dem is brought around by Ms Palin, maybe that individual wasn''t so dumb, but more misguided...


:-) peace dude.

tootoo68 - excellent summation of a far left person''s reactions.

It is these very characteristics that cost the Dems the election time after time.

The Dems need to be rid of the far left.


No more Obamas!





Why in the world they would nominate THE most liberal senator is beyond me.


They would have been better off nominating....

Anyone ever notice that when a liberal is confronted with the truth, their only comback is to go on the personal attack...It just shows their lack of guts to confront the truth. It''s easier to eat Pablum than to chew on the facts..That''s why it takes courage to be a leader.. Anybody without guts can swallow the Pablum,..... and the strycnine.. here come the Lemings ready for their daily dose..

Oh for Pete''s sake.

A real funeral should have its privacy respected.

What makes this news worthy ?




If other than actors had been used, it would have violated the very substance of what BO tried to claim earlier about not using the military for political purposes. Only in his case, he didn''t want to visit wounded soldiers because he was afraid they would make a compelling argument on why his party should stay the course.

TOOTOO:Did you know this about your female God?

Did you know she''s married to Todd Palin who was a member of an ANTI-America Group for 7 years? Yes, Todd belonged to Alaska Indepence Party, AIP, for 7 LONG years. Palin changed to Rep when Sarah ran for ltd. gov.

AIP was founded as a hate America Group. AIP members hate USA so much they want Alaska to seceed from the United States.

Do rightwingers think a governor should give the opening address, via satelite, to a hate America group when that group has their annual Convention in that state''s capital?

Sarah Palin GAVE the 2008 opening address to just that group. Her address is on youtube. I think you rightwingers will really like your new female God.

video titled: "McCain''s ''Alaska First'' problem":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Re0vmbtHK8

Rightwingers will REALLY love the part where the AIP leader says, "we don''t say we''re Americans we say we''re Alaskans - when we talk about America kids in classrooms put their thumbs DOWN when we talk about Alaska our kids put their thumbs UP"

If the rightwingers watch that video they will love the part where the leader of the AIP hate America says, "Sarah Palin was a member of AIP but to get along and go along she eventually switched to Republican"

PS.While at youtube visit the video of Sarah Palin being admitting she has NO IDEA what the duties of the VP even are in an interview

video title:"what does a VP do"

Michael Ray is a volunteer, right? He doesn''t get paid. Catchy headline, but no meat. As a videographer we use stockfootage, because its cheaper than shooting from scratch. Its used all the time, especially common for sensitive subjects. You can''t understand why a real soldier would want themselves in uniform for partisan reasons! Obama is loaded with cash and can spend freely and cost is no object.

iraqvet2 FYI, I am an independent Viet Vet that gave my left leg to the cong for breakfast. At 69, I can still spot a phoney and a coward when I see one, and I don''t want a gutless phoney for my commander in chief. Maybe you can follow the other lemings over the cliff, but their are still enough of us around to know the difference between guts and fluff.

tootoo: Let me guess, you are a rightwinger who 18 months ago thought dems were so foolish to go gah-gah while chanting "obama" while dems really didn''t know anything about him. Rightwingers would NEVER do that ...

Rightwingers would NEVER go gah-gah for someone they JUST MET.

Rightwingers would NEVER chant someone''s name and praise that person as if that person were God, right?

... um... wait a min. just 7 days ago rightwingers heard Sarah Palins name for the FIRST TIME ... and ... THAT SAME DAY ... rightwingers were praising the woman, whose name they COULD NOT EVEN PRONOUNCE correctly, as if she were the 2nd. coming ... then ... 5 days later - after they learned how to pronounce her name ... rightwingers chant ... "Sarah, Sarah" ... after she delivers a speech, written by Geo. W. Bush''s 2004 speech writer.

looks like the republicans have met their God and THEIR God is a female. Whoda thunk it.

The fake soldiers were not as fake as the "phoney" colums (styrofoam) surrounding the real "phoney" at the DNC coronation. I was waiting for the thunder and lightning approval, or the seas to part.
Who''s the (real) phonies..The crown comes next week..

Nothing about the Republicans is real. How about Cindy''s version of how she met McCain - her little love story sounds great, but where''s the part about his wedding ring, his first wife who waited for him during his imprisonment, the adultery, and the divorce ? It''s just what Republicans do - they leave out the "unpleasant" parts, the parts that are REAL, and you have BUSHWORLD II: The McCain Legacy. McCain''s POW war hero story - same thing. Viet Nam was a disaster in which the U.S. never should have engaged, but they leave all that out. In the Republican fantasy world, Viet Nam somehow had to be done, and McCain selflessly threw himself into it. Also left out - how the entire Bush Administration evaded the draft and found "other things to do." McCain will bring change - but left out was the REASON we need change, Bush''s disasterous 8 years of maladministration with McCain''s unwavering support. Replacing a cobra with a rattlesnake is change, I suppose. The only real question is how stupid are the American people ? Will they accept the distortions and lies of BUSHWORLD II ?

To OEF VET, No, you misunderstood me ... I was making NO assumption I clearly said YOU are full of SH*T when YOU wrote that the video HAD to be a fake bec. of YOUR lame reasoning which by the way, proves YOU do not know squat about the use of DOD footage ... you are most likely NOT a vet.

I did volunteer and I DID fight in Iraq and I AM MAD AS HECK that John McCain votes AGAINST military men/women EVERY CHANCE HE GETS. And if you were a REAL Vet, you''d be angry at McCain''s military voting record as well. go to votevets.org and search John McCain''s military voting record and YOU will then understand why the military men/women donate, at a 6 to 1 ratio, to Barack Obama and NOT to McCain.

Umm... Alaska''s schools started Sept 2. I can understand why the kids didn''t go to school this week, but .... why is Sarah Palin taking her kids on the campaign stump when they are supposed to be in school?

To Iraq Vet 2:

The assumption you are making is that they were not authorized to be there. No military member can wear their uniform and represent their branch of the service without permission at any political event - do your research.

Remember that you volunteered to be in the military. The military goes to war. If you, like myself had a bad experience, deal with it - no one forced you to join. Suck it up and press on! Quit your whinning about being involved in something you freely signed up for. Assuming you really are a vet.
