Preparedness is always a good thing, etc. But no, I don't think there will be "mayhem". Some localized incidents? Perhaps. But that's about it.

I'm still a little shocked. We're proud of Palin. But wow, I work in state goverment, and none of us had a clue that this was going to happen. We all thought there'd have been some sort of buzz going on around state government last week, but not a word.

If any of you have a Yahoo Answers account, drop over and take a peek at some of the questions that are being posted about Palin.

Robert M. “Mike” Duncan, Chairman of the Republican National Committee

He's a real person?

I thought he was just a generic name they append to the spam "please donate" emails the Republicans send out, like John Q. Public or Betty Crocker.

I somehow ended up on both the Democratic and Republican email lists. The Democratic ones come directly "from" Obama himself, in a faux folksy "me to you" style. The Republicans ones come from soemthing named "Robert M. “Mike” Duncan."

In reality, they're probably both the products of the same computer program.

re: #4 rawmuse

re: #20 galloping granny

Look, there are probably going to be some riots either way - either because Obama loses or when the Feds start confiscating stuff to pay for smoke & mirrors.

I would tend to think that net disorder and violence would be higher under an Obama administration in general.

If Obama's supporters riot after an Obama loss, that pretty much seals the book on any future run for POTUS by him, and I think he's bright enough to figure that out.

I'd like to add also, that this is probably Obama's best shot at being elected. His biggest advantage is that he's the proverbial "dark horse" (that's not a reference to skin color, by the way).

He's been on the national stage so little time, and voted
"present" so many times, that he doesn't have much of a record. Four years from now, he will have one, all the luster will have worn off, and unless he actually manages to accomplish something as US Senator in that time (fat chance), he'll be passed over by the Dems eager for the next best thing.

Sorry to go off topic that soon but this video posted by Power Line does deserve attention.

If our intrepid reporters could focus on something other than Bristol Palin for a moment, maybe they would notice that Obama continues to make a fool of himself on a near-daily basis.

Not going to happen; he's not that stupid.

Even if Obama were to explicitly ask his supporters to go nuts (which again, he wouldn't), he'd still get away with it, because the media is totally in the tank for him *AND* the McCain or Bush administration couldn't prosecute him, as it would be largely viewed as political retribution, not justice.

Even if that were true, the chance of an entrepid reporter digging it up would be approximately zero.

Abortion is procedure heavily protected by medical confidentiality laws. No reporter could prove it, even if they knew it to be true, and the claim itself is potentially actionable.

Pregnancy, on the other hand, is highly public.

If the way McCain chose his running mate is anything to go by, I'd hazard the guess that Bolton will be sprung on you as SecState on Nov. 5th ....

Zombie does the math:

Ann Dunham was born on November 29, 1942. Her first child Barack was born on August 4, 1961. Calculate 9 months backward from August 4, 1961 and you get November 4, 1960 for the date of Obama's conception.

Hence, she was still 17 years old and unmarried when she had sex with Barack Sr. and conceived little Obama.

Sound familiar?

On the other hand, if she fired Commissioner Monegan because he wouldn't fire Trooper Wooten, then to me that is not right. That is a family issue and should not be brought into state government. IMO.

Any attempt at a "race war" will not only completely obliterate any (IMO completely undeserved) reputation Obama might have as a racial healer, and nix any chance he might have of running for POTUS again, it would make it that much harder for ANY Black American to run for POTUS in the future.

The problem is, people have been lied to about whether the U.S. elections are "fair", and whether the results are "accurate".

Gore was, face it, a white man who presented the personality of a dining room table. My waste paper basket has more personality than he showed!

Why riot over *that* ?

Obama, though, is a different story.

I would expect some isolated incidents if he lost the *nomination*. I believe this, in part, was on the Superdelegates' minds in Denver.

I would expect many "isolated incidents" and possibly one or two major mob actions / riots if he loses the election.

I would expect far, far worse if he dies.

Have to wait until the investigation results are in. From what the stories are, yes, he was an abusive husband, he tasered his own 11 year old son just for fun, and he shot a moose without a permit.

I was trying to make a joke-but it has possibly flopped. What I meant to joke about is that Obama is a jerk-that is well known, and that we are talking about his mother. That's all I meant-it is possible that I mangled it-so if you want to ding, that's cool. Not one of my best comments.

The entire New England/Beltway power corridor is up in arms. You would think Palin was the 2nd coming of Richard Nixon. Just think, for once an administration might just rip through that den of vipers known as K-Street. Obama's chant of Change You can Believe In seems pretty hallow. His acceptance speech seems so yesterday.

Bastard - one whose parents aren't legally wed. Since Barack Senior was unable, legally, to marry Mother Obama because marrying the second of two spouses isn't legal anywhere in the U.S.A., technically it's accurate.

Bitch - a female dog, possibly pregnant.

re: #107 Honorary Yooper

True, but in all fairness, it sounds like Barack Sr. lied to her about his maritial status. That may be why the marriage didn't last.

So let me get this straight.

Obama Sr, a 25 year old married graduate student got a 17 year old freshman pregnant. Then, he commited bigamy by marrying her, only to abandon her and his son shortly thereafter?

If anybody is the proverbial "bastard" here, I think its Obama Sr.

Now, in fairness to Senator Obama, none of this is his fault, and none of it reflects directly on him. But the ones trying to smear Palin because her daughter is pregnant ought to be really careful which glass house they are throwing the rocks in.

re: #166 Occasional Reader

Not touching that one.

re: #130 Alaska Kim

Have to wait until the investigation results are in. From what the stories are, yes, he was an abusive husband, he tasered his own 11 year old son just for fun, and he shot a moose without a permit. Not to mention driving drunk in his Trooper car. But of course he got away with it all, you know, the good ole boy mentality. And then Palin fires the Commissioner of Public Safety. Coincidence? I doubt it. But I want the facts before I judge.

Somewhere on these threads exists a link to the actual copies of the police reports from when the whole affair started.
Both the statements taken from Sarah Palin, and the notes of the original officer involved.

There are also records of the memos Palin issued when she became Governor. I read the text of those, as well.

The only reason, IMHO, that the issue is still on the table is because the complaint was issued by her political opponent (good old boy).

Sarah Palin has "welcomed" the investigation. If the documents were published in the MSM, I think any doubt about whether Sarah Palin is "tough enough" and whether she would "excercise good judgement" if the "unthinkable" happened would disappear in a heartbeat.

Note that the MSM has not scraped this too deeply, on the pretext of "not wanting to interfere with an investigation". What they don't want are the facts to become widely known.

Tonight, I want to hear the beginning of a sweeping Repub response to their neophyte POTUS candidate crawled out of the sewer of the corrupt Chicago machine, and their 'change' VP candidate, stale and worn from steeping in congress over the past several decades. All mainstream America wants to hear is drill here, drill now. And an appeal to the working class condemning the catastrophic liberal Dem economic policies like higher taxes for the job-creators and investors, home loan programs for the financially insecure. I want to hear that we will develop a new reliance on American oil/energy, and I want to see a celebration that Repubs and Bush did not cave to the Dems' boneheaded demand that we cut-and-lose in Iraq.

One only needs to look at Meghan McCain's photo blog on the previous thread to understand the venom being thrown at Sarah Palin and her family by these vile creatures on the left. One photo in particular caught my eye - Todd, Piper, Willow and a woman bottle feeding Trig - happy, smiling and enjoying one another over some pizza. This would appear to be a happy, well-adjusted American family - in spite of all their 'problems'. This is something the left cannot relate to and something they have worked to destroy for more than a generation.

The left, whether the angry feminists, KosKreeps, so-called media elites, career politicians and people who save their own feces/urine in Ziplock bags to hurl at police, hate themselves - they are jealous. They look at photos like this and compare it to their own empty lives and they are jealous. Somehow, the light bulb goes off that adhering to the liberal/progressive dogma for all their lives has left them with nothing to show for it, but anger and bitterness. It does not compute. Therefore, they need to take this family down.

The PUMA's big complaint is that Hillary was treated differently and unfairly because she is a woman. Those folks are looking at the pregnacy controversy and seeing a very similar thing going on. If McCain/Palin continue to act with dignity, it will sway support away from Obama.

When is the Grand Dragon of the Klan speaking?

Klansmen who really know their own history would not touch the GOP with a ten foot noose. The original Klan was founded as a "plausibly deniable" Democratic Party militia just after the Civil War.
Through many incarnations and changes (the incorporation of antisemitism in the twentieth century, for example), various Klan groups retained one common thread: they were 100% Democrat until well into the 1960s.

Their primary role, the subversion of the voting process, has since been taken over by such gangs as ACORN.
This merely reflects the demographic shift in the culture of gangsterism, from rural white to urban multiracial and its move up the social ladder to corporate boardrooms and the academic world.
