McCain Camp Knocks Down Enquirer's Palin Rumor
(CBS)
(ST. PAUL, MINN.) – John McCain’s campaign threatened legal action against the National Enquirer today for running a story about McCain’s running mate, Sarah Palin, allegedly having an affair with her husband’s business partner.
“The smearing of the Palin family must end. The allegations contained on the cover of the National Enquirer insinuating that Gov. Palin had an extramarital affair are categorically false. It is a vicious lie,” said McCain senior adviser Steve Schmidt.
“The efforts of the media and tabloids to destroy this fine and accomplished public servant are a disgrace. The American people will reject it.”
The Enquirer also alleges that Palin unjustly fired a public safety official while she was governor of Alaska, but the story is based entirely on unnamed sources. The Enquirer has also paid sources in the past to speak with them, something mainstream media outlets do not do.
“Sen. McCain and Gov. Palin look forward to discussing the issues that Americans care about, fixing broken government, creating jobs, making our country energy independent and securing the peace for the next generation by bringing the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to a victorious end,” said Schmidt.
“Legal action will be considered with regard to this disgraceful smear.”

ROFLMAO
YES WE DO. Sad that YOU DO NOT .
Schmidt is the same guy who told the Washington Post that "This election is about the personalities, not the issues."
These guys are so corrupt and cynical it is disgusting.
"Anything to win", eh McCain?
Dear concerned citizens of America and mass media of the U.S.A.
1. Does the joint ticket have a calm, cool, and collected " temper and impulse" [Presidential Temperament]?
2. Does each ticket have sound and sustained "Judgment and Caliber"?
3. Does each ticket have a "presidential depth and degree" in regard to their purpose, policies, and positions?
4. Does each ticket have adequate, "understanding and knowledge" of workings around Washington"?
5. Does each ticket have enough "vigor, wisdom and Vision" for the future of our beloved Great-grand Nation?
6. Does each ticket possess enough joint foreign policy experience and ex-poser based on "American Values, Virtues, Vastness, and strong soul"?
7. Are their campaign talk, slogans, ads, plans, and programs based on facts and are they free of fear, fiction, frivolous labels, unfair attacks, negativity, and impulsivity?
PS: Blame all this on McCains impulsivity, temperament, and compromised judgement.

Palin Focus of Probe In Police Chief''s Firing Her Family Wanted a Trooper Dismissed, He Says - By James V. Grimaldi and Kimberly Kindy
Washington Post - 8/30/08
Republican presidential candidate John McCain''s running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, is an ethics reformer under an ethics investigation that is plowing through private domestic matters. Palin is under investigation to determine whether she pressured and then fired the state police chief in July because he refused to dismiss her former brother-in-law... The firing of state Public Safety Commissioner Walter Monegan has unearthed a stream of private details about the governor, her husband and her family. The state probe is also focusing on a half-dozen top state officials accused of trying to drive trooper Mike Wooten from the force. Critics say the episode -- dubbed Troopergate in Alaska -- cuts against Palin''s reputation as an ethics crusader who holds even her own party accountable. "It undercuts one of the points they are making that she is an ethical reformer," said state Sen. Hollis French%u2026

Yes, that was reported several weeks ago. Old news. Plue, John Edwards''s political career is over. Those of us who liked and respected him wouldn''t give him the time of day now. He is poison in the Democratic party, as he should be. Democrats are not trying to cram him down Americaa'' throat. Sarah Palin is a flawed candidate and anyone should be able to see that.

Is this the high minded, superior Democratic debate and intellect on display? Give me a break! This is the lowest, vile, in-the-gutter political discourse that can be found.
A person%u2019s true character is revealed not by their public professions of fairness and compassion, but by how, when in private (or cloaked by the internet%u2019s anonymity), they speak of and act towards others.

whor. out of Mother Theresa.
They have nothing else to offer
but smears and personal attacks.
Obama, what a guy!!!
FROM ACROSS PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE , WHERE HE''D BEEN SITTING ON A PARK BENCH.
He spoke to the Marine standing guard and said, I would like to go in and
meet with President Barrack Obama.
The Marine replied, Sir, Mr. Obama is not President and he doesn''t reside
here.
The old man said, Okay, and walked away.
The following day, the same man approached the White House and said to the
same Marine, I would like to go
in and meet with President Barack Obama.
The Marine again told the man, Sir, as I said yesterday, Mr. Obama is not
Pres ident and doesn''t reside here.
The man thanked him and again walked away.
The third day, the same man approached the White House and spoke to the
very same Marine,
saying I would like to go in and meet with President Barack Obama.
The Marine, understandably agitated at this point, looked at the man and
said, Sir, this is the third day in a row
you have been here asking to speak to Mr. Obama.
I''ve told you already several times that Mr. Obama is not the President and
doesn''t reside here!
Don''t you understand?
The old man answered, Oh, I understand you fine. but I just love hearing
your answer!
The Marine snapped to attention, saluted, and said, See you tomorrow, Sir!
For God''s sake, the safety of our Country is at stake!
Obama/Biden have said repeatedly that they did not welcome these type of attacks, but McCain has embraced them.
McCain is not the "maverick" of the GOP, he is buisiness as usual.

ONE SUNNY DAY IN 2009, AN OLD MAN APPROACHED THE WHITE HOUSE
FROM ACROSS PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE , WHERE HE''''D BEEN SITTING ON A PARK BENCH.
He spoke to the Marine standing guard and said, I would like to go in and meet with President John McCain. The Marine replied, Sir, Mr. McCain is not President and he doesn''''t reside here.
The old man said, Okay, and walked away.
The following day, the same man approached the White House and said to the same Marine, I would like to go in and meet with President John McCain.

The Marine snapped to attention, saluted, and said, See you tomorrow, Sir! but if you really need to find him he dumped Cindy and is now living is Moose-*** Alaska!
Don''t you just love a happy ending!
If she can''t handle the political heat, she should STAY in the kitchen.

WRONG!
Where is it written that only senators are qualified to become President?... Or where is it written that mere representatives aren%u2019t qualified, like Geraldine Ferraro of Queens?... Where is it written that governors and mayors, like Dianne Feinstein of San Francisco, are too local, too provincial?... Presidential candidates have always chosen their running mates for reasons of practical demography, not idealized democracy%u2026. What a splendid system, we say to ourselves, that takes little-known men, tests them in high office and permits them to grow into statesmen.... Why shouldn%u2019t a little-known woman have the same opportunity to grow?... [T]he indispensable credential for a Woman Who [sic] is the same as for a Man Who [sic] %u2013 one who helps the ticket.
I know that America can look forward to your whining a rioting cuz Real Americans are racists, etc. blah, blah, blah.
sorry liberals, better luck next time.
McShame: Old. Ditched his first wife for a better looking 2nd wife. Really old.
ObamaNation: Cocaine druggy, hippie, who''s looking for some change (more handouts).
Sarita: First off she is a woman, second, she still can get periods and PMS, third her daughter is pregnant, fourth, new media reports she had affairs, fifth, she is woman! DANM!
Biden: the guy is dull and boring as bricks! The guy looks and acts older than McShame for crying out loud!!
I know, we didn''t REALLY go to the moon either, that was all a studio set...
Sorry dude, Saracuda is gonna be a great VEEP. She has more exec experience than Barack Rezco...
While we are on the subject. has anyone seen the actual certificate of birth for Barack Obama issued by the State of Hawaii? I haven''t.
What does a "community organizer do, anyway?
Just what are the standards for vetting a candidate anyway? Is there some published handbook on this process? Would it be called "Vetting for Dummies"?
The long and the short of it is that the voters will decide whether McCain/Palin are qualified or not. It''s time to leave the families of both candidates alone and concentrate on the real issues; energy, taxes, national security. These are the important items.
But less than half do not vote (probably only 30-40% vote) which means most of their concerns/issue are ignored by the career politicians because they are not a strong voting block.
I''m sticking with Obama this time though because I don''t like the direction and kidnapping of the republican party by the religious right whose sole purpose is to overturn Roe v wade.
