Does Obama look and sound that bad when he's being interviewed? God, talk about stiff and cold!

-pro-life but pro-death-penalty Gotta keep the evangelical chrsitian base -wants states to choose abortion laws, but not to choose gay marriage laws More difficult to overturn Roe V. Wade than enact new legislation -tax cuts instead of fiscal responsibility They have no fucking clue on why taxes are necessary; but it is good rhetoric because a lot of voters think taxes are too high and this presumably gets that vote. -corporate pandering bordering on corruption Lots of lobbying dollars -extreme executive domination of the three branches -squashes amendments 1 and 4 under the premise of fighting terrorism, while protecting 2 at the expense of gun accidents/violence Probably related to late stage syphlittic dementia. I think the Dems have their fair share corruption as well

plus, he's fucking Jessica Simpson!

You mean the nasal annoying Hahkey Mahm" thing?

it'll be interesting to see how this one is spun. She certainly had the deer in the headlights look for most of the interview and did sound somewhat scripted.

That is really fucking tastless you douchebag.

Hey, just maybe the Republican party picked her because they new she had family issues that once were out in the media could be used as evidence of how low the Democratic Party (who controls all media except Fox News) are. Thus gauranteeing the the sympathy vote for their ticket. Brilliant.

Where's the fucking outrage over this! Palin directly compared her self to a pit bull. THE LIBERAL MEDIA IS ATTACKING HER BY REPORTING THIS STUFF!!!!

If you put lipstick on a pig, you've still got a pig! What the hell was he thinking?? There goes the pig vote.

And what I'd like to know is this: Who in the hell coined the term "libtard anyway. That is demeaning, especially if you personally know anyone who does have mental retardation. How about "conservatively challenged"?

Not bad for an ass candle.

Well that would be the negative thats got the most positive! duh!

Unless you count having sex as a failure in abstinence.

I heard it went off prematurely then he went to sleep.

I'm not disagreeing with you here minx, but where Palin and the Republican party campaign on their moral values (Pre-Marital Sexual Abstinence and Pro-Life) it does become neccesary to bring out the family skeletons. On the positive side, if handled properly it certainly goes a long way to humanize a candidate. But I also believe as stated previously that she's a seventeen year old girl. She going through a pretty traumatic experience. She should be left alone. Unfortunately, this kind of exposure comes with the territory.

Ya know bug, when candidates speak of change, maybe this is one area where they could start. Yeah, I smell a turd in the woodpile too, and if there is a Desperate Houswives worthy plotline behind Gov. Palin's actions, then expose that. But if it really is just a pregnant daughter, leave her alone. She's got enough to deal with. I'm curious to see how the ethics investigation in Alaska turns out. I have a cousin who is an attorney with the Alaska AG's office. I was thinking of calling him to see if I could get an unedited report on her.

Not exactly where I was going, but that could be one strategy. The way I see it, the Republican Party needs McCain a little more than McCain needs the party. I was making an assumption that McCain sees so much of his ideals and attitude in Palin that he wanted her as his running mate.

Lots of really fricking interesting conjecture going on here. I hate to overuse the "m" word, but maybe McCain has know all along of this latest development, and was hell bent on his opposite gender twin being his running mate. The rumor I'm hearing of her faking the pregnancy and birth of her latest child to camoflauge her daughters pregnancy is a real screamer. Straight out of one of the plot lines from last seasons Desperate Housewives. If this is as it appears and that her daughter is just another teenage american girl from a small town that got knocked up, I hope they let her be. Its really a shame; when my sister began having trouble her kids years ago she had to give up her career to stay home to try to right the situation. You would think that Sarah Palin might consider it.

Hey, who said this in 2004 "I will leave my fate up to the voters of this state. My opponent will put her faith in lawyers. Imagine that." Smug grin It was the candidate party puppet that ended getting a battery of lawyers to fight what was allowable under state law! Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Gregoire fan, but Dino Rossi is a bigger asshole than most people know.

I am.

Look Rob, this article did not come from Fox News. How in the world can any of us be expected to believe this unfair and unbalanced piece of journalistic speculation?

That thing has your naughty parts all engorged and tingly, doesn't it?

I thought that the interwebs thing got closed for cleaning every couple of years?

Yeah, you'd think that at least Edward's people would have substituted a picture of an attractive woman as opposed to the one he was doing......

Peace and condolences to family and friends. Be safe out there folks.
