Politics is not a bad profession. If you succeed there are many rewards, if you disgrace yourself you can always write a book.

On a non-Palin-centric note, I finally had an epiphany about why I don't particularly care for Obama so much as a person. Did you ever run into one of those overbearing salesmen at the used car lot or one of those cell-phone kiosks in the mall? The one who decides to pretend he's your long-lost buddy while selling you some marginal, overpriced goods?

I think that fits Obama to a T.

Well, the line-up tonight was amazing. Every major speaker - Mitt, Huck, Rudy - hit home runs. Kudos to Gov Lindle from Hawaii, who gave a decent speech and a symbolic on as well. The Governor of the 50th state (a woman) introducing the Governor of the 49th state (Gov Palin).

But the headliner - although at first she was a bit hesitant, she built up her moxie. And she delivered a solid hit in a game that is 4-4, in the 9th inning, 2 outs, 3/2 count.

She's a force to reckon with, I'd say. And the wackjobs will be at it in force tomorrow!

It's quite interesting that we have the two aging decade-long senators, and the two out of nowhere bright stars. But on the GOP side the older more experienced man is at the head of the ticket, as it should be.

I hope McCain gets a big bounce from the convention. Of course the polls are flawed and cam be interpreted in different ways, there's only one poll that counts, etc. But I would really want the Dems to be shitting bricks at this point. OTOH, if they were to get overconfident that could work in our favor as well.

It's interesting that the prime identity candidate for "ArcXIX" appears to share the same residence with a labor activist who has endorsed B Hussein O.

Take a peek here, and specifically note references to the Franklin County Clerk of Courts. A quick search of a Charles and a William, of the same family name, yield compelling results.

Further, take a peek at these:

www.neoalf.org/files/januaryaflcioelectronicnewsle tter.pdf

my.barackobama.com/page/community/post/gwtardy/gG5 GkL

"ArcXIX" has been purging references to himself all over the net, changing his name, sometimes more than once, so that Google hits don't yield the expected result unless one selects the cached entry.

Interestingly, a fellow with the same name, living in the same city (Columbus, Ohio) has had his name purged from a site for a lupus charity.

I tuned in at 9 for Rudy and Sarah.

- Rudy was fun, but sometimes I can see what the lefties are talking about when they say he's creepy. :) He could have put the 9/11 stuff somewhere else besides the end of his speech, too... It validates the caricature of him from Buchanan's magazine. I'm glad he didn't pull any punches, though - what a great set-up for Gov. Palin, and I enjoyed somebody FINALLY calling Bullshit on Obie.

- Sarah was great. I was worried she might come across as the aw-shucks mom, or sound whiny, or appear diminutive or "out of touch", and she got up there and hit it right out of the park. She is such a good speaker too. I heard her slip up a little bit ONCE in the whole time she was up there.

So many zingers tonight. Republicans really know how to kick somebody HARD when they want to, and they know that the soft underbelly of any leftist is NARCISSISM, and the knife you need to use is MOCKERY.

They just won't stop: Palin denies affair rumors

Quote:
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.
http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2008/09...y4413030.sh tml


All this based on people they 'paid' to say what they wanted to hear.


And why is CBS is reporting on a National Enquirer story?!

Where were they on the John Edward''s affair story months ago? That was broken in the National Enquirer and they would not touch it for months even when it was ACTUAL proof.

And now they are touting a national enquirer story that is based on zero actual evidence.

Regardless, get ready for the innuendo and rumors to fly on MSNBC/CNN/etc, all of them pretending to be innocent and just 'mentioning something they heard'.

Obambi reminds me of Anthony Edwards in the movie "Soul Man". He wears black face paint and the intramural team fights all over themselves to pick him for their basketball team.

Downs syndrome is a disease that makes it hard to say who are the lucky ones. They keep that thing that the rest of us lose a childlike view of the world.

Who cares who's baby is whose....I think Sarah Palin is a breath of fresh air and can handle any male chauvenist pig.

BECAUSE SHE IS A LIAR! [insert obscene number of exclamation points]
AND IT IS NOT A GOOD LIE EITHER.

JUST READ HER STORY ABOUT THE BIRTH OF TRIG.

i can never understand why republicans find their own lies to be so acceptable.

I personally know a number of Jews for Jesus - there is absolutely no jew hating from these people, it is quite the opposite. It is just another lie of the left.

Reportedly, this particular JFJ guy was invited on a one-time basis to speak at the church that Palin attends. Reportedly, he claimed that terrorist attacks in Israel were God's payback for their rejecting Jesus.

The left is trying to spin this into "Palin's pastor says Jews deserve terrorist attacks." An idiotic post to that effect is getting thousands of diggs over at digg.com.

I think Sarah needs to issue a statement on this issue at some point pretty soon, attempts to make more of it than that are incredibly ridiculous.

If the ones you know behave like some Jehovah Witnesses I have encountered then I agree with you. Sharing your faith only works if the receiving party is willing to listen. If the receiving party does not want to discuss the matter then the advocate should shut up.

To clarify, I am actually acquainted with Messianic Jews which after some quick research do not seem to be part of the same group.

That was great. I'd been hearing about that. He had no answer for any of her questions. I think there should be even more scrutiny of the US story and of the media reporting the National Enquirer's unfounded allegations. Since they ignored the allegations the Enquirer made against Edwards -- even though there was plenty of evidence -- I'm interested to know why they suddenly think it's okay to report the Enquirer's stories.

Things are really hoppin', so I haven't read everything:

Has anyone brought up the fact that several talking heads have mentioned that a speech-writer (gasp) wrote her speech? I watched the Fox guys from the balcony of the Muppet Show say it twice.

I don't recall anyone making that point last night after FRED and Joe were done.

Why is it that a woman can't have a speechwriter? Does this make her dumb now?

This is insulting and is really pissing off Mrs. Sifty.

They can spin it any way they want, but it is pure, unadulterated Mysoginy with a capital M.

That's all they have.

Did you catch the rumblings about "forcing her off the ticket" from the HuffPo corner? They are "fixing and destroying her" (or attempting to do so) per Alinsky, but the only angle they have is hatred of what she is. So they basically want to "fix" her as a scared little girl, a little piece of window dressing that will run away crying to her Panic Room if they're mean enough.

With no respect to Sen. Reid intended at all, he's an asshole.
A bipartisan committee, composed of non-politicians but geologists, nuclear engineers and envriomental engineers met two years ago and unanimously recommended that spent nuclear rods and other nuclear waste products could be safely contained in a tehcie jargon-loaded type of container and that it should be buried and suitably covererd so as to not leak out. They also unamimously recommended a tiny place in the vast wasteland that is most of Nevada as THE best place to bury it.
Harry Reid, single handedly defeated that project, leaving us, for the time being, with no sound method or place to get rid of nuclear generator waste by-products.
He then saw to it that said committee never got another dime to find another location.
Reid is all about Reid and can't see the Greater American Good at all.
Moreover, he is typical of the Lefties in this respect; they do not see and dont' even look for solutions to America's problems, just their own little feifdoms.

I think it has been dazed by the whole slide into the wilderness and Bush is not a PR ringmaster, so there has been nothing to rally around.

Rachel Madow’s point was that her being there was the same has Obama being in Wright’s church for 20 years and declaring the not so good reverend to be his spiritual advisor. That and she throw out a lot of out of context remarks about terror attacks being God’s judgment for rejecting Jesus. If she had read the bible she would know that it was full of Israel being attacked has Judgment for rejecting God in one form or another. So if you’re a Christian it is not that outrageous of a statement, and if you’re not, but you know your bible, then you should be able to understand his point even if you don’t agree with it. That said I don’t know what Jews for Jesus is about or how they go about doing what they do. I do know from what little I have heard that it is in no way the monster that Rachel Madow made it out to be.

Sarah Palin took to the floor of the Republican Convention Wednesday night and delivered a slapshot right to the gut of the Obama campaign

This speech was part mom, part Pit Bull and part policy wonk. I mean she went after Obama as hard as anyone. She basically ripped him to shreds but she didn’t do it in a way that looked mean or vindictive. That’s hard to do but she pulled it off. Instead, she did it in a way that playfully poked fun at his expense. There was no reason for her to deliver her lines in a mean, terse way. Rather, she let the crowd take care of the wild and raucous reaction. They were eating it up.

Do you think Michelle is still throwing things or have they sedated her yet?

Giuliani's destined for bigger things than AG, I think. I think he may still have a shot at the big chair, down the line, and depending how the next four to eight years go.

I'm a big Rudy fan, but his lackluster showing in his presidential run makes me think he does not have the fire for a national campaign. If he still wants to serve the poeple. AG in the McCain administration would be perfect.

I am at the convention. Several reports that you may be interested in.

First off, it must be obvious from the tv that the delegates were jazzed tonight. I hope the country is too.

Second, I had dinner with the Ambassador from India to the US. Indians are very pro-McCain. There is s group that has just formed three weeks ago to back McCain. They are very afraid of terrorists, and very afraid of what may happen if they get total control of Pakistan. Obama is friendlier to terrorists. These are lifelong Dems that are switching.

Third, my seat is behind the guys that are running the convention. Rudy went terribly over his time limit, giving the operations guys fits! He ad libbed a lot of that speech, not using the teleprompter. I told one operation guy that Rudy is ticking you off, but they are clapping at home!

Fourth, Code Pink almost made it onstage when Sarah Palin was speaking. They made their way down the steps and were around 10 feet from the stage before the secret service grabbed them. The Code Pinkers almost ran over a couple holding an infant. It was a scary moment in an awesome night. The only way that I can see they got in was to have credentials, and change in a bathroom.

I am for peaceful protest and civil disobedience. What Code Pink did this evening was to endanger the life of a young baby, and was anything but civil.
Security is very tight here, so they must have been pretty sneaky.

Tomorrow Johnny Mac. Hopefully he brings down the house.

Wow! Now I understand. Sarah Palin is a game changer, and she has turned this race on its head. I wanted Romney, but he never would have energized the ticket as she has done.

She is inexperienced, and not ready for the presidency. But her inexperience it is becoming clear, only highlights Obama's inexperience. With a couple of years as vp I think she would be 100% ready to be president. Our ticket is right-side-up, and theirs is upside down.

No, Keith Olbermann didn't 'try to break in on Giuliani's speech' as some had said. There was just a studio misfire, for about 2 seconds, if that long.

I like football, but I hate Olbermann. What shall I do when the NFL broadcasts begin?

I have a satellite DVR and I have internet. You can get great radio broadcasts from most local football town radio stations on the Internet, and with the DVR you can pause and restart the video as desired. So please tell the nation that there is a way to sync the football video with (anything but Olbermann) audio to enjoy our national pastime without nausea. Olbermann, you and your toupee are history!

The question is, how will the extra black and youth votes on the other side add up compared to the PUMA and working class democrat crossover votes (and maybe some Jewish votes). Now that the GOP base is shored up, it's less critical than before the Palin pick I would think. At the moment I think the electoral math is in our favor.

They are very afraid of terrorists, and very afraid of what may happen if they get total control of Pakistan. Obama is friendlier to terrorists. These are lifelong Dems that are switching.

Good. I've been saying here on LGF for the past few weeks, only half jokingly, that we need to outsource Armageddon to India. Pakistan is likely to fall to Islamic militants, we need to prepare for it and make sure that the structures are in place that will enable the US and Indian militaries to work together. There are many reasons why the US and India should be natural allies.
And Indian Americans, with their culture of entrepreneurship should fit well in the Republican party.


Fourth, Code Pink almost made it onstage when Sarah Palin was speaking. They made their way down the steps and were around 10 feet from the stage before the secret service grabbed them. The Code Pinkers almost ran over a couple holding an infant. It was a scary moment in an awesome night. The only way that I can see they got in was to have credentials, and change in a bathroom.

I am for peaceful protest and civil disobedience. What Code Pink did this evening was to endanger the life of a young baby, and was anything but civil.
Security is very tight here, so they must have been pretty sneaky.

Tomorrow Johnny Mac. Hopefully he brings down the house.

Code Stink need to be exposed as the deranged and dangerous leftists that they are. They should not be allowed to hide behind their pink skirts any longer.

re: #310 neocon hippie

That's a really good question I am wondering about. The votes of those of us on one clearly defined side or other isn't going to change much compared to 2004. The question is, how will the extra black and youth votes on the other side add up compared to the PUMA and working class democrat crossover votes (and maybe some Jewish votes). Now that the GOP base is shored up, it's less critical than before the Palin pick I would think. At the moment I think the electoral math is in our favor.

The "black vote" is energized more than normal, but the "youth vote" will probably crap out like it always does... As for the rest, I think there are a lot of people waiting in the wings who are very quietly planning to vote against Obama no matter who's on the other ticket.

Down here in RepuglithugliKKKan Texas, there's a sense of absolute certainty that nobody here is going for Obama except black people and hipster doofuses who shop at Whole Foods.

Here is a hell of a write up for Palin worth emailing to all of your friends -

JOHN FUND ON THE TRAIL

Palin's Home Run
Is there still an enthusiasm gap?
September 4, 2008 1:05 a.m.

St. Paul

Twenty years after Ronald Reagan left office, Republicans who have long missed him may have found a future Margaret Thatcher. If John McCain wins, conservatives may find one of the most enduring accomplishments of his term will have been what he did before it started: helping to fill the Republican Party's future talent bench with such a fresh and compelling figure.

Sarah Palin is a conviction politician, a naturally compelling speaker and someone who can relate to her audience on very human terms. America has just learned why Mrs. Palin enjoys the highest approval ratings of any governor in America.

Liberal commentators glumly noted the thunderous applause in the convention hall last night. But they could do precious little to attack. Even Keith Olbermann, MSNBC's official attack dog, could muster only this as commentary on Mrs. Palin's performance: "People who like this sort of thing will find this ... the sort of thing they like."

Mrs. Palin accomplished several things last night. First, she introduced herself and her story to the American people in a compelling and warm manner, complete with effective pictures of her proud family. Secondly, she praised John McCain's leadership, service to country and independence in a way that made him come alive. Thirdly, she effectively deflected the media and liberal criticism of her by saying they really represented an attack on the small-town and suburban values she grew up with. Lastly, she skewered Barack Obama with gusto but without meanness. Her line about her job as a small-town mayor being "sort of like a 'community organizer,' except that you have actual responsibilities" brought the hall to its feet in a frenzy.

Some hard-bitten political observers I know were uncharacteristically impressed with the Palin speech. Hal Stratton, a former Attorney General of New Mexico, wrote to me as follows: "That's what we out west call openin' a whole can of whip a— on your opponents."

Other observers were more restrained, but still impressed. "She passed her first major test, and if the reaction of the crowd in the hall is any indication, with flying colors," says Peter Brown, the deputy director of the Quinnipiac Poll. "So much for the comparisons with Dan Quayle, who couldn't have given that speech if his life depended on it. Obviously, Sarah Palin probably went down better in Warren, Michigan than she did in Washington, D.C. -- but that was the whole point of her speech and her candidacy." Indeed, while Mrs. Palin certainly won't swing any deeply blue states in John McCain's direction, she may have an impact in swaying independent voters as well as boosting GOP turnout in swing states such as Colorado, Nevada and Michigan.

One of the standard operating theories this Election Year is that Barack Obama and the Democrats are much more energized, excited and willing to work hard for victory in November.

After Sarah Palin's remarkably effective speech, I don't think any pundits or politicians will be able to count on a decisive Democratic enthusiasm edge. Sarah Palin electrified the hall, and from what I can tell from my e-mail inbox that excitement is being replicated in living rooms across the country.

363 Ledger1  Wed, Sep 3, 2008 11:06:40pm

Part1.

Here is the text of Palin’s inspiring speech.

I love the stuff about taxes and drilling for oil.

I think some of this is going to leave a mark on Obama – such as the cheap "Styrofoam" pillars (sound of frying pan against Obama’s skull).


Text:

SARAH PALIN: Mr. Chairman, delegates, and fellow citizens, I will be honored to accept your nomination for vice president of the United States.
(APPLAUSE)
I accept the call to help our nominee for
president to serve and defend America. And I accept the challenge of a tough fight in this election against confident opponents at a crucial hour for our country.
And I accept the privilege of serving with a man who has come through much harder missions, and met far graver challenges, and knows how tough fights are won, the next president of the United States, John S. McCain.
(APPLAUSE)
It was just a year ago when all the experts in Washington counted out our nominee because he refused to hedge his commitment to the security of the country he loves.
With their usual certitude, they told us that all was lost, there was no hope for this candidate, who said that he would rather lose an election than see his country lose a war. But the pollsters…
(APPLAUSE)
The pollsters and the pundits, they overlooked just one thing when they wrote him off. They overlooked the caliber of the man himself, the determination, and resolve, and the sheer guts of Senator John McCain.
(APPLAUSE)
The voters knew better, and maybe that’s because they realized there’s a time for politics and a time for leadership, a time to campaign and a time to put our country first.
(APPLAUSE)
Our nominee for president is a true profile in courage, and people like that are hard to come by. He’s a man who wore the uniform of his country for 22 years and refused to break faith with those troops in Iraq who now have brought victory within sight.
(APPLAUSE)
And as the mother of one of those troops, that is exactly the kind of man I want as commander-in-chief.
I’m just one of many moms who will say an extra prayer each night for our sons and daughters going into harm’s way. Our son, Track, is 19. And one week from tomorrow, September 11th, he’ll deploy to Iraq with the Army infantry in the service of his country.
My nephew, Casey (ph), also enlisted and serves on a carrier in the Persian Gulf.
My family is so proud of both of them and of all the fine men and women serving the country in uniform.
(APPLAUSE)
AUDIENCE: USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!
So Track is the eldest of our five children. In our family, it’s two boys and three girls in between, my strong and kind- hearted daughters, Bristol, and Willow, and Piper.
(APPLAUSE)
And we were so blessed in April. Todd and I welcomed our littlest one into the world, a perfectly beautiful baby boy named Trig.
You know, from the inside, no family ever seems typical, and that’s how it is with us. Our family has the same ups and downs as any other, the same challenges and the same joys.
Sometimes even the greatest joys bring challenge. And children with special needs inspire a very, very special love. To the families of special-needs…
(APPLAUSE)
To the families of special-needs children all across this country, I have a message for you: For years, you’ve sought to make America a more welcoming place for your sons and daughters. And I pledge to you that, if we’re elected, you will have a friend and advocate in the White House.
(APPLAUSE)

364 Ledger1  Wed, Sep 3, 2008 11:07:38pm

Part 2.

And Todd is a story all by himself. He’s a lifelong commercial fisherman and a production operator in the oil fields of Alaska’s North Slope, and a proud member of the United Steelworkers union. And Todd is a world champion snow machine racer.
(APPLAUSE)
Throw in his Yup’ik Eskimo ancestry, and it all makes for quite a package. And we met in high school. And two decades and five children later, he’s still my guy.
(APPLAUSE)
My mom and dad both worked at the elementary school in our small town. And among the many things I owe them is a simple lesson that I’ve learned, that this is America, and every woman can walk through every door of opportunity.
And my parents are here tonight.
I am so proud to be the daughter of Chuck and Sally Heath (ph).
(APPLAUSE)
Long ago, a young farmer and a haberdasher from Missouri, he followed an unlikely path — he followed an unlikely path to the vice presidency. And a writer observed, “We grow good people in our small towns, with honesty and sincerity and dignity,” and I know just the kind of people that writer had in mind when he praised Harry Truman.
I grew up with those people. They’re the ones who do some of the hardest work in America, who grow our food, and run our factories, and fight our wars. They love their country in good times and bad, and they’re always proud of America.
(APPLAUSE)
I had the privilege of living most of my life in a small town. I was just your average hockey mom and signed up for the PTA.
(APPLAUSE)
I love those hockey moms. You know, they say the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull? Lipstick.
(APPLAUSE)
So I signed up for the PTA because I wanted to make my kids’ public education even better. And when I ran for city council, I didn’t need focus groups and voter profiles because I knew those voters, and I knew their families, too.
Before I became governor of the great state of Alaska…
(APPLAUSE)

(APPLAUSE)
I might add that, in small towns, we don’t quite know what to make of a candidate who lavishes praise on working people when they’re listening and then talks about how bitterly they cling to their religion and guns when those people aren’t listening.
(APPLAUSE)
No, we tend to prefer candidates who don’t talk about us one way in Scranton and another way in San Francisco.

As for my running mate, you can be certain that wherever he goes and whoever is listening John McCain is the same man.

Part 4

Americans expect us to go to Washington for the right reason and not just to mingle with the right people. Politics isn’t just a game of clashing parties and competing interests. The right reason is to challenge the status quo, to serve the common good, and to leave this nation better than we found it.
(APPLAUSE)
No one expects us all to agree on everything, but we are expected to govern with integrity, and goodwill, and clear convictions, and a servant’s heart.
And I pledge to all Americans that I will carry myself in this spirit as vice president of the United States.
(APPLAUSE)
This was the spirit that brought me to the governor’s office when I took on the old politics as usual in Juneau, when I stood up to the special interests, and the lobbyists, and the Big Oil companies, and the good-old boys.
Suddenly, I realized that sudden and relentless reform never sits well with entrenched interests and power-brokers. That’s why true reform is so hard to achieve.
But with the support of the citizens of Alaska, we shook things up. And in short order, we put the government of our state back on the side of the people.
(APPLAUSE)
I came to office promising major ethics reform to end the culture of self-dealing. And today, that ethics reform is a law.
While I was at it, I got rid of a few things in the governor’s office that I didn’t believe our citizens should have to pay for. That luxury jet was over-the-top.
(APPLAUSE)
I put it on eBay.
(APPLAUSE)
I love to drive myself to work. And I thought we could muddle through without the governor’s personal chef, although I got to admit that sometimes my kids sure miss her.
(APPLAUSE)
I came to office promising to control spending, by request if possible, but by veto, if necessary.

Part 5


Senator McCain also — he promises to use the power of veto in defense of the public interest. And as a chief executive, I can assure you it works.
(APPLAUSE)
Our state budget is under control. We have a surplus. And I have protected the taxpayers by vetoing wasteful spending, nearly $500 million in vetoes.
We suspended the state fuel tax and championed reform to end the abuses of earmark spending by Congress. I told the Congress, “Thanks, but no thanks,” on that Bridge to Nowhere.
(APPLAUSE)
If our state wanted to build a bridge, we were going to build it ourselves.
(APPLAUSE)
When oil and gas prices went up dramatically and filled up the state treasury, I sent a large share of that revenue back where it belonged: directly to the people of Alaska.
(APPLAUSE)

And despite fierce opposition from oil company lobbyists, who kind of liked things the way that they were, we broke their monopoly on power and resources. As governor, I insisted on competition and basic fairness to end their control of our state and return it to the people.
(APPLAUSE)
I fought to bring about the largest private-sector infrastructure project in North American history.
And when that deal was struck, we began a nearly $40 billion natural gas pipeline to help lead America to energy independence.
(APPLAUSE)
That pipeline, when the last section is laid and its valves are open, will lead America one step farther away from dependence on dangerous foreign powers that do not have our interests at heart.
The stakes for our nation could not be higher. When a hurricane strikes in the Gulf of Mexico, this country should not be so dependent on imported oil that we’re forced to draw from our Strategic Petroleum Reserve. And families cannot throw more and more of their paychecks on gas and heating oil.
With Russia wanting to control a vital pipeline in the Caucasus and to divide and intimidate our European allies by using energy as a weapon, we cannot leave ourselves at the mercy of foreign suppliers.
(APPLAUSE)
To confront the threat that Iran might seek to cut off nearly a fifth of the world’s energy supplies, or that terrorists might strike again at the Abqaiq facility in Saudi Arabia, or that Venezuela might shut off its oil discoveries and its deliveries of that source, Americans, we need to produce more of our own oil and gas. And…
(APPLAUSE)
And take it from a gal who knows the North Slope of Alaska: We’ve got lots of both.
(APPLAUSE)

Part 6a

Our opponents say again and again that drilling will not solve all of America’s energy problems, as if we didn’t know that already.
(LAUGHTER)
But the fact that drilling, though, won’t solve every problem is no excuse to do nothing at all.
(APPLAUSE)
Starting in January, in a McCain-Palin administration, we’re going to lay more pipelines, and build more nuclear plants, and create jobs with clean coal, and move forward on solar, wind, geothermal, and other alternative sources. We need…
(APPLAUSE)
We need American sources of resources. We need American energy brought to you by American ingenuity and produced by American workers.
(APPLAUSE)
And now, I’ve noticed a pattern with our opponent, and maybe you have, too. We’ve all heard his dramatic speeches before devoted followers, and there is much to like and admire about our opponent.
But listening to him speak, it’s easy to forget that this is a man who has authored two memoirs but not a single major law or even a reform, not even in the State Senate.
This is a man who can give an entire speech about the wars America is fighting and never use the word “victory,” except when he’s talking about his own campaign.
(APPLAUSE)
But when the cloud of rhetoric has passed, when the roar of the crowd fades away, when the stadium lights go out, and those Styrofoam Greek columns are hauled back to some studio lot…
(APPLAUSE)
… when that happens, what exactly is our opponent’s plan? What does he actually seek to accomplish after he’s done turning back the waters and healing the planet?
(APPLAUSE)
The answer — the answer is to make government bigger, and take more of your money, and give you more orders from Washington, and to reduce the strength of America in a dangerous world.

Part 6B

America needs more energy; our opponent is against producing it. Victory in Iraq is finally in sight, and he wants to forfeit. Terrorist states are seeking nuclear weapons without delay; he wants to meet them without preconditions.
Al Qaeda terrorists still plot to inflict catastrophic harm on America, and he’s worried that someone won’t read them their rights.
(APPLAUSE)

Government is too big; he wants to grow it. Congress spends too much money; he promises more.
Taxes are too high, and he wants to raise them. His tax increases are the fine print in his economic plan.
And let me be specific: The Democratic nominee for president supports plans to raise income taxes, and raise payroll taxes, and raise investment income taxes, and raise the death tax, and raise business taxes, and increase the tax burden on the American people by hundreds of billions of dollars.
(AUDIENCE BOOS)
My sister, Heather, and her husband, they just built a service station that’s now open for business, like millions of others who run small businesses. How are they…
(APPLAUSE)
How are they going to be better off if taxes go up? Or maybe you are trying to keep your job at a plant in Michigan or in Ohio…
(APPLAUSE)
… or you’re trying — you’re trying to create jobs from clean coal, from Pennsylvania or West Virginia.
(APPLAUSE)
You’re trying to keep a small farm in the family right here in Minnesota.
(APPLAUSE)
How are you — how are you going to be better off if our opponent adds a massive tax burden to the American economy?
Here’s how I look at the choice Americans face in this election: In politics, there are some candidates who use change to promote their careers, and then there are those, like John McCain, who use their careers to promote change.
They are the ones whose names appear on laws and landmark reforms, not just on buttons and banners or on self-designed presidential seals.
(APPLAUSE)
Among politicians, there is the idealism of high-flown speech- making, in which crowds are stirringly summoned to support great things, and then there is the idealism of those leaders, like John McCain, who actually do great things.
(APPLAUSE)
They’re the ones who are good for more than talk, the ones that we’ve always been able to count on to serve and to defend America.
Senator McCain’s record of actual achievements and reform helps explain why so many special interests, and lobbyists, and comfortable committee chairmen in Congress have fought the prospect of a McCain presidency from the primary election of 2000 to this very day.
Our nominee doesn’t run with the Washington herd. He’s a man who’s there to serve his country and not just his party, a leader who’s not looking for a fight, but sure isn’t afraid of one, either.

There will not be any epic landslide for McCain. In fact, Obama still has the better chance. Palin's speech improved McCain's chances, as much as any VP speech could have. But that's not all that much. The issue still hangs in the balance.

Part 6 (end)

This world of threats and dangers, it’s not just a community and it doesn’t just need an organizer.
And though both Senator Obama and Senator Biden have been going on lately about how they’re always, quote, “fighting for you,” let us face the matter squarely: There is only one man in this election who has ever really fought for you.
(APPLAUSE)
There is only one man in this election who has ever really fought for you in places where winning means survival and defeat means death. And that man is John McCain.
(APPLAUSE)
You know, in our day, politicians have readily shared much lesser tales of adversity than the nightmare world, the nightmare world in which this man and others equally brave served and suffered for their country.
And it’s a long way from the fear, and pain, and squalor of a six-by-four cell in Hanoi to the Oval Office.
But if Senator McCain is elected president, that is the journey he will have made. It’s the journey of an upright and honorable man, the kind of fellow whose name you will find on war memorials in small towns across this great country, only he was among those who came home.
To the most powerful office on Earth, he would bring the compassion that comes from having once been powerless, the wisdom that comes even to the captives by the grace of God, the special confidence of those who have seen evil and have seen how evil is overcome. A fellow…
(APPLAUSE)
A fellow prisoner of war, a man named Tom Moe of Lancaster, Ohio…
(APPLAUSE)
… Tom Moe recalls looking through a pinhole in his cell door as Lieutenant Commander John McCain was led down the hallway by the guards, day after day.
And the story is told, when McCain shuffled back from torturous interrogations, he would turn towards Moe’s door, and he’d flash a grin and a thumbs up, as if to say, “We’re going to pull through this.”
My fellow Americans, that is the kind of man America needs to see us through the next four years.
(APPLAUSE)
For a season, a gifted speaker can inspire with his words. But for a lifetime, John McCain has inspired with his deeds.
If character is the measure in this election, and hope the theme, and change the goal we share, then I ask you to join our cause. Join our cause and help America elect a great man as the next president of the United States.
Thank you, and God bless America. Thank you.

I would say only a dwindling and rather small percentage of GOPers still think that way. The only anti-gay sentiment I've heard this year either comes from farrrrrrrrr-right demented "Christian" street preachers or (more commonly) hypocritical lefties who point out who's gay because they think it will shock and horrify the GOP rank-and-file -- which it doesn't.

Frankly, sensible people are way past identity politics and don't give a damn who's "gay" and who's "black" and all that pointless crap. All that matters is your wisdom and your personality. The labels have lost significance (except in "divide-and-conquer" leftist academia-land).

Yep. Absolutely. I mean, she IS a politician so I'm sure that the Left (don't use the term Democrat anymore cause all the ones I used to respect have disappeared and the party of just tax and spend without regard for the good or bad of the Nation as a whole - i.e., the Nanny State Leftists) will ultimately turn up some dirt on her, but it will be trivial because I sincerely believe that she is decent and honest - not to mention capable.

The point I think your missing is that even if Palin were a holy saint, it wouldn't matter... If the MSM can't find anything, they'll either make it up out of whole cloth (ANG anyone) or deluge us with total non-issues framed it in the most negative view possible until something eventually sticks...

For the record, I don't LOVE oil companies, but I trust them to do things like exploration, drilling and refining better than the government and could probably do that a whole lot better without getting taxed out of business....

I just watched Obama's speech again on youtube. It's good to remember how much more respectfully he treated McCain. How much more specific and issue related his attacks were. How much higher he reached.

Sarah Palin's speech was small and petty.

Lets reach for the stars in this election.

Am I the only one who was creeped out by how they were passing around that infant like he was some kind of prop? We were very careful about where we took our infant daughter when she was Trig's age

am i the only one that noticed that at the speech last thursday, as well as tonight, when mccain went over to congratulate palin, she pulled away and furled her lip?

i kinda think she despises the guy...

Many do not see the the "gay community as the enemy. It is the "gay' agenda that causes concern. For instance, there is a lawsuit ongoing here in San Diego where the SDFD chief ordered the firemen to march in the annual Gay Pride Parade. One firefighter balked and was seriously reprimanded for insubordination. That kind of kowtowing to political correctness scares people.

The conservative tent is fairly big and can accommodate a lot of people. I, for one, welcome someone who knows where the federal government's authority has to stop.

"Tomorrow they'll say she held the baby wrong. 'PALIN IS A BAD MOM!'"

- me, to the roommate, earlier this evening during the speech.

Here in the real world, we noticed that one of the elder daughters (not the pregnant one), the youngest daughter, and even Mrs. McCain all took turns holding the baby. I'm pretty sure that's what you do with babies, because A. people like holding babies, and B. holding a baby can get tiring after a while.

Like Gov. Palin herself said, it's great to have support. That's how it works in a big family, no?

478 Dublin(CA)Dude  Wed, Sep 3, 2008 11:56:39pm

Have spent the last three hours catching up on the speeches, was laid up earlier from yesterday's chemo.

Couple of observations:

Rudy was incredible, he ripped the Dalibama, not one, not two, but probably twenty new a**holes. You da man Rudy!

Sarah Palin brought back memories of an old song, "Burning down the House". The Dalibama has good reason to be out there trying to smear her with everything he's got. Slow Joe Biden has to be reconsidering being a VP candidate. He's going to have to face her and I'm sure he's got a huge brown stain on his pants right this minute. She's going to wipe the floor with him.

Best idea I've heard all day, lets have a Palin/Obama debate. What the democrat party hasn't realized yet, is that McCain has turned this into an Obama/Palin contest. We all know McCain is the most qualified, now he's going to prove that Palin is more qualified than the Dalibama.

In summary, two great speeches tonight. Rudy gave us red meat,and made the Dalibama look like the idiot he is.

Palin gave us a brilliant young woman who is gonna make sure that we have a REAL choice in this election.

Sarah, I am once again PROUD to be a Republican. Keep on hitting them where it hurts. The democrat party is worried, very worried. Brace yourself Sarah, the smears are going to get worse, but we will be here for you.

Community Organizer: Arranges meetings of politically acceptable people. Disrupts the meetings of political undesireables.

Community Activist: Arranges protests and/or riots consisting of politically acceptable people.

Community Leader: Goes on TV after arranging protests and/or riots consisting of politically acceptable people, in order to blame resulting property damage on the politically undesireable. (Generally, he or she must have been on TV at least twice and be pulling down at least 50K a year in donations and/or speaking fees to be considered a "leader".)

It occurs to me that it is remarkable that with all the Community Organizers™ wandering around organizing communities, the Left seems remarkably disorganized

Doesn't anybody remember Marcello Mastroianni in "The Organizer"? About a Marxist labor union agitator in Torino? The term "organizer," community or otherwise, has long been a well-known code word for "communist instigator." Even as far back as the '50s, the '30s, even the '20s, when someone was called an "organizer" it meant someone who agitated the mob and then led them into the Leftist camp. Saul Alinsky based his whole career around the concept.

The Dems are tossing around the term "community organizer" as if it wasn't laden with decades of socialist baggage. I can't understand why they persist in making this blunder.

I was a community organizer when I lived in NYC. I organized our block association, held street fairs to raise funds, and hired private protection services to patrol our block when the NYPD couldn't do it (back in the days before Rudy). Guess that makes me a community organizer. Does that make me qualified to be president? I hardly think so, and the only church I ever attended was Holy Name on Amsterdam Avenue and 95th street. No Black Liberation theology there, though the Catholic school there had lots of non-Catholic black children whose parents were wise enough to keep them out of the public school system.

re: #455 kynna

Okay, since the leftists are offended by 'community organizer' comments, could someone please tell me what a 'community organizer' does?

In modern terms, a "community organizer" is someone who tries to turn the apolitical underclass -- or some subsector of it -- into a far-left voting bloc. Poor Blacks, Hispanics, welfare recipients, families of convicts, whatever -- make them think of their social status in victimology terms.

The Black Panthers were in fact the prototypical "community organizers."

Truth is, it has only been very marginally successful. The underclass still barely votes, and their whines about victimhood have become tiresome.

I was thinking about the whining from Barry's minions about Sarah's expert slaying of 'our opponent' and how unfair it was. I think SHE knows as every rational person knows that, in spite of Barry's call for civility and keeping families off limits that it's all a facade to give the illusion that he's not connected to the smear merchants that have been peddling the disgusting stuff about her and her family, SHE knows he's guilty as sin. And I think she sent him a subtle message tonight, "Don't mess with me and my family, Barry." I could just tell by the look in her eye and that wry smile on her face as she looked into the camera and delivered those lines.

As my Grandpa used to say, "You don't shoot at the tank. You go around the tank and shoot the SOB who sent it."

I know that's the real definition, but what is Obama's definition? Of his tenure as a commorg (look at me making up terms!). I mean, he has to have given a rundown of his duties in the position. I take that back. He probably hasn't been required to. But maybe now someone will actually ask him what he DID considering it's supposed to be part of his presidency-qualifying experience.

I see the potential for the Palin candidacy to open many lines of questioning that some would like to keep shut.

Have you done "The Lavender Hill Mob" and "The Ladykillers?" Both fantastic--the second with Sellers again.

Of course! That's what got me started.

BTW, if you happen to see "Devil Ship Pirates," from 1964, tell me if it is really the stinkeroo I think it is.

Never seen that one. I'm adding it to the list, though.

Oh, yes--and even though "Performance," with Mick Jagger and James Fox, is just outside your time frame, it is worth checking out if you haven't seen it. Even without acid.

Even some liberals note the slant: Was Joe Biden vetted?

Apparently, Joe Biden’s daughter was arrested six years ago in Chicago and charged with obstructing police after someone else threw a bottle at a police officer. She reportedly also said something to the effect of, “Do you know who I am?”

Now, I wonder, will James Carville ask on CNN what this says about Barack Obama’s judgment in choosing Biden as his running mate?

If Carville can question John McCain’s judgment in choosing a running mate, Sarah Palin, whose 17-year-old daughter got pregnant, is he willing to question the competence of Obama for selecting a man whose 21-year-old daughter allegedly interfered with lawful police work?

I'm looking forward to see anchormen and -women question the competence of Obama over choosing Biden. /not

I was a community organizer when I lived in NYC. I organized our block association, held street fairs to raise funds, and hired private protection services to patrol our block when the NYPD couldn't do it (back in the days before Rudy). Guess that makes me a community organizer. Does that make me qualified to be president? I hardly think so, and the only church I ever attended was Holy Name on Amsterdam Avenue and 95th street. No Black Liberation theology there, though the Catholic school there had lots of non-Catholic black children whose parents were wise enough to keep them out of the public school system.

Yeah, but you see, the media would never call you a "community organizer" because you actually did things. ;)

The speech has warmed over in the back of my mind a bit, and I realize something now...

I am so RELIEVED that somebody has FINALLY gotten up on a national stage and said "YOU KNOW THAT GUY OBAMA? HE'S FULL OF CRAP!"

We have been waiting months for somebody to fire a 16" broadside into the Obama Majesty's Ship Messiah and sink it to the bottom of the Bullshit Sea where it belongs. Everybody you talk to knows that The One is a walking contradiction, an empty put-up job, a slick package with nothing inside it, and it's so good to hear somebody say so.

Republicans have certainly cornered their fair market share of crap, but the Dems have turned it into an industry, and it's finally taken a trio of personalities to call Naked Emperor: McCain to put the right people on the field, Rudy to set up the shot, and Palin to score.

Best of all, it was done in that warmly familiar caustic/sarcastic, "snarky", right-on-target way that Republicans are actually good at when they finally decide to do it.

"Oooh! Right in the Narcissism! Dude, that's gotta hurt..."

544 rawmuse  Thu, Sep 4, 2008 12:53:40am

545 lifeofthemind  Thu, Sep 4, 2008 12:56:13am

Hillary's people are already being supportive of McCain/Pallin. Some overtly with money and more by standing aside and letting the Obama/Biden campaign go splat. Stephanapolous the other day refused to shore up attack themes for his anchor. I expect Bill and Hill to campaign for local Democrats. Given the record of how short Bill's coat tails were that may not help the Cangressional candidates but it may help Hill get control of the party back after Obama tanks. Officially they will say something supportive of the ticket at every stop. Would Hillary be much happier without Pallin in front of her? Of course but Hill is a pro at this and she will keep moving forward. It is all she knows how to do. What Obama will end up doing is harder to say. If Rezco really blows up then he goes away. I cannot see him being welcome back in Chicago if he does not make it into the White House. Maybe he can get a job at Gazprom. Right now I think Michelle Obama's market worth has slipped from $317,000 to about $31,700. Is there a futures market for such issues?

The wires from Obama go to Soros. So do those to Saakashvili as half the staff of the FSB have been in here reminding us. What resources are supporting Obama and what weapons/evidence can be found or manufactured in the next 8 weeks? Putin should as you indicate want to see Obama in and if so what resources will the Bear bring to bear? Do interested parties believe that Americans will panic and react to a terror strike like the Spanish did? The window for catostraphic events in both the US and elsewhere, especially Lebannon, Korea and Hormuz, is open until the risk of Obama getting in has closed.

A repost, but it needs to happen. Saw this somewhere else. Too good not to share.


"Society today is composed of two distinct species. The first, Homo sapiens...what we consider to be normal intelligent logical people who understand cause and effect, people that understand nothing is free and everthing costs something.
The second species is Homo Stupidicus. This species believes that they are entiteled to have all the wonderful things in life but that they should not have to work for it. The believe that they should not have to risk anything but still reap success. They believe that government can create money out of thin air and should give it to everyone that doesn’t have enough.
Homo Stupidicus has grown, prospered and bred to become a majority of the populace because Homo Sapiens had a minor brain fart and created welfare, social security and modern medicine. Prior to these inventions Homo Stupidicus rarely lived long enough to breed.
We have shortcircuited the filter in the gene pool....Homo Stupidicus is now breeding rampantly and has reached a critical mass where the members of this species outnumber Homo Sapiens. They continue to demand more and more from the productive species while becoming less and less capable of self control, self direction, self reliance and at times self awareness.
The two species are virtually indistinguishable physically. You cannot determine which species you are confronted with by simply looking at them. You have to listen to them to find out whether they are sapient...intelligent, or stupidicus. Homo Stupidicus will invariably make their presence known by the socialistic bleatings they utter.
Most Homo Sapiens are politically conservative or independent. Homo Stupidicus is almost exclusively liberal or apolitical....meaning they don’t care who is in charge as long as the food stamps and welfare check shows up every month."

re: #555 buzzsawmonkey

Don't forget "Room at the Top," "Expresso Bongo" (both with Laurence Harvey), "Smashing Time," "Kind Hearts and Coronets," "Ten Rillington Place," and "Alfie."

I just LOVED "Ten Rillington Place." In fact, I still quote a line from that movie all the time: "Christie done it!" -- whenever I get accurately accused around the house or workplace of having broken something or some other forgetful boo-boo:

"[Zombie], did you break my favorite coffee mug?"

"Christie done it!"

Except I can never quite get John Hurt's accent quite right.

But I arbitrarily cut off my list at 1964, which is when (semi-randomly selected) "post-war" ends and "the sixties" begins, culture-wise -- so Rillington, Smashing and Alfie are off the list. If we went that far ahead into history, there'd be too many to choose from. "Kind Hearts": maybe -- it's good, but I assume everyone's already seen it. And "Room" is too depressing for me, and "Bongo" perhaps a bit too goofy for a class.

I know I'm being tyrannical and cavalier in my dictates -- but as a Film Professor, that is my duty!

572 rancher  Thu, Sep 4, 2008 1:43:16am

Couple things I heard tonight. First Obama stuck his foot in his mouth and came out with this:

Well, my understanding is that Governor Palin’s town of Wasilla has, I think, 50 employees. We’ve got 2,500 in this campaign. I think their budget is maybe $12 million a year. You know, we have a budget of about three times that just for the month. So I think that our ability to manage large systems and to execute I think has been made clear over the last couple of years.


So his Presidential experience is predicated on his Presidential campaign. Makes since because he has done a lot more campaigning than legislating. BTW Alaska has tens of thousands employees and a budget in the billions. Does Obama even run his own campaign or does his handlers?

I also heard that ABC's Terry Moran said:

To Barack Obama, the son of a black man from Kenya and a white man from Kansas. Now, no matter what your politics, that is a moment for the history books.


If true historic indeed. Now that the cat's out of the bag will the MSM be asking the Obama campaign for DNA samples?

578 Egfrow  Thu, Sep 4, 2008 1:53:04am

After some reflection after tonight's speeches, I believe that this campaign has gone Nuclear. This is going to drive the Left into a frenzy from every side. They were made to look like fools (actually not hard) and they are going to pull out all the stops (Maybe this is already is the best they can do). But I expect the rhetoric and venom to increase dramatically.

They are scared and feel cornered, they will go for the throat. In so doing I prey that they all reveal their true colors to normal sane Americans. This is going to be a street brawl election. It's long overdue.

I'm feeling all warm and fuzzy inside, and I don't think it has anything to do with littleoldlady or the copious amounts of vodka I've been drinking tonight (well....maybe a little).

Sarah Palin surpassed expecations tonight and went on a llong-overdue coutnerattack against the Misogynist Stream Media. I thought it was great! The Obama camp has had a number of times to be gracious and conciliatory and take the high road but opted to release terse, whiny, petulant statements instead or have their surrogates in the left half of the blogosphere smear and photoshop away.

However, it's one thing for us to say Palin hit one out of the park tonight. Looking over some of the PUMA blogs, they were almost as enthusiastic as Palin's debut as some of us lizards.

/Ever think that the Clintonistas and lizards would find common ground at such a crucial juncture?

594 pianobuff  Thu, Sep 4, 2008 2:08:29am

The administrator of the site talkleft left comments here suggesting that the Palin's drugged their baby in order to keep him from crying during the speech.

596 DesertSage  Thu, Sep 4, 2008 2:10:14am

Dick Morris had some insight tonight that made sense.

He believes that by Keeping Sarah Palin away from the media for four days was like the GOP setting a trap. The media and the Lefties were going crazy trying to tear this woman down. The more they acted like a pack of rabid animals, the more she withdrew from them. The reason she withdrew, and the reason the McCain camp let her withdraw, was because they knew that this woman had the goods to deliver when the time was right. That time was last night. She delivered a flawless speech and brought the house down.
The trap was set, the trap was tripped....and the media were caught inside the trap with egg on their face. They never expected her to be so good, let alone rock the house and this country the way she did.
I give McCain a lot of credit for choosing her. He could have gone with the obvious choice of Pawlenty or Romney. But he knew something about Sarah Palin that the rest of the country didn't know....that she's a star.

Yeah, the Lefties are going to go after her with everything that they've got. She can handle it. She's a tough woman. This totally throws Obama off his game. Two months of nothing but Palin in the media. What might have been a long shot election to win a week ago, now has new life in it. This woman is the future of the GOP, and I give McCain credit for recognizing it.

Go Sarah!

To do a screen capture, just press the print screen key. This copies the contents of the screen to the clipboard. You can then paste it into a graphics file using a image editor such as paint. There are also free programs (such as "screenshot captor")that will create a graphics file of the screen contents in one step.

Also you can easily just save the webpage itself by just using the file menu / save command.

/sure you don't mean "Jersey"?

Nah, not really the blueberry part. The bagel part. That mix, when I needed it most, came through in spades.

I work evening shift, 3:00-11:30. One time last March, I was told I had to work the day shift the approaching Saturday. I replied, point blank, that they could expect me to come in late that day. I wouldn't do it purposely, but not being a "day shift" type, I could make no promises.

Well, Saturday morning, the alarm clock woke me up on time. And I was a bear. (I normally am a bear right after waking up, but... you can imagine.) In my "auto-pilot" mode, without really thinking about what I was doing, I fired up the coffee maker and toasted a blueberry bagel. After I managed to sit down with a decent breakfast before me...

I was in heaven. It's been a long time since I had such a good start to the day.

I showed up at work promptly, 7:00 in the morning, ready to take on whatever the day threw at me.

I'm getting here a little late, but I did catch most of the speech on TV at work. We don't have cable so I was forced to watch PBS. The camera focused on little Piper holding baby Trig several times. I thought they were adorable but at one point the camera lingered on them as Piper licked her hand and used it to smooth little Trig's hair.
This is the kind of less-than-sanitary thing small children do all the time (to the everlasting horror of their mothers) but it is rarely shown in public and it is certainly not much of an issue. Why belabor it if not to cause embarrassment?

Leftists will no doubt squawk, "Hey you showed Kevin Rudd eating his ear wax. Moral equivalency! Braaack! Moral equivalency!"
The difference of course is that Rudd is a grown man while Piper is an innocent little girl.

651 blackpajamas  Thu, Sep 4, 2008 3:30:41am

Minor point of order,

While some of us might get a wee bit excited and start bandying about phrases such as Oooh! The Intrade futures for [candidate name here] are exploding like Michael Moore's colostomy bag at the buffet line on nickel night! Let's be very clear about what action on Intrade really constitutes.

Primarily, sample selection bias at Intrade, with respect to events based on U.S. politics, strongly indicates that the value of information provided via the markets made on such events is nearly worthless; and at best is no better than a time-delayed opinion of primarily non-American, non-voters, informed by their attention to the MSM.

I mention this because even RealClear Politics has performed some sipping of the Intrade Cool-Aid, as they've got an Intrade meter on their front page, and that kind of informational garbage in the new-media needs to stop.

First, Intrade is based in Ireland, not the U.S., and there is a very non-trivial possibility that most citizens in the U.S. are prohibited, by law, from even depositing money into an account with Intrade (let alone actually performing trades), so one would expect that most investors of the contract trading on Intrade have strong disincentives to be not-American; so most are non-Americans. Most non-Americans get their news from the MSM. Most non-Americans have no real clue about American politics, let alone grass-root sentiment, so why in the devil do folks magically interpret the data as gospel?

Second, the raw dollar value of the contracts traded on a given political event, e.g., the "Obama for President" contracts, is sub-microscopic when compared to a real (efficient) market. For example, looking at the total number of Obama shares traded, the total, not just today's trading, the total is just under 300,000 contracts (roughly equivalent to $30,000 USD). That's less money traded on Obama than Al Gore spends on gasoline for a Gulf Stream trip coast to coast:

Currency USD
Session lo/hi 59.5 - 60.7
Previous Close 59.8
Today's Volume 4398
Total Volume 294147 [ed: ~ $29,414 total]
Market Lifetime: Nov 9 - Nov 9

Third, we put together the fact that there are few Americans, let alone likely voters, participating on Intrade, there is very little money being traded on political events at Intrade, and we have American news/opinion outlets (like RealClear Politics) somehow pushing the fantasy that that translates into valid data, then we've got serious sample selection bias crossed with some kind of irrational idiocy at work, which only fools would take seriously.

Most likely, the people who get excited about Intrade trading on American politics are simple not doing the math. It's a case of staggering intellectual laziness.

On an earlier thread, someone posted

Just an FYI, the audio was doctored:

- segments were removed to change the sense of the statements preceding/following them (Noonan said they "abused my meaning" by cutting the segment before the "it's over" line; it sounds like she's saying McCain's campaign is over, but she's actually saying a particular cultural assumption from the late 1980s is over)
- the volume is inconsistent, making some key clarifying statements hard to hear and making her assessment sound much harsher than it really is (don't know if that was doctoring, or just lousy recording.)

Peggy has a response up on WSJ. Read it and then tell all the lefty trolls who keep spreading the audio to FOAD.

I went to WSJ to find the debunking of the video, and couldn't find it. My crazy uncle kept sending me e-mails after he went home last night and today and that stupid video was one of them. Would love to shove it back in his face. Can anyone help out?

re: #596 DesertSage

Dick Morris had some insight tonight that made sense.

He believes that by Keeping Sarah Palin away from the media for four days was like the GOP setting a trap. The media and the Lefties were going crazy trying to tear this woman down. The more they acted like a pack of rabid animals, the more she withdrew from them. The reason she withdrew, and the reason the McCain camp let her withdraw, was because they knew that this woman had the goods to deliver when the time was right. That time was last night. She delivered a flawless speech and brought the house down.
The trap was set, the trap was tripped....and the media were caught inside the trap with egg on their face. They never expected her to be so good, let alone rock the house and this country the way she did.
I give McCain a lot of credit for choosing her. He could have gone with the obvious choice of Pawlenty or Romney. But he knew something about Sarah Palin that the rest of the country didn't know....that she's a star.

Yeah, the Lefties are going to go after her with everything that they've got. She can handle it. She's a tough woman. This totally throws Obama off his game. Two months of nothing but Palin in the media. What might have been a long shot election to win a week ago, now has new life in it. This woman is the future of the GOP, and I give McCain credit for recognizing it.

Go Sarah!

I agree. And I think it amusing the MSM are in an uproar that they didn't get to "vet" her a month or so ago. They were saying yesterday, well she is an unknown and McCain should have let us know sooner! HA! Now they have to really work to try to bring her down in 2 months. If she was an insider they would already know her!

If one takes the total number of Obama Intrade contracts, and multiplies them by an average of 60 pts per contract (e.g., $6), then the total U.S. dollar value on Obama is roughly $180,000 - about what a used Lamborghini Diablo costs on EBay.

I have to get moving, but before I go I want to share with you part of the email I got from the Dems last night called "What you just saw"

[ed note: What?! I don't have eyes and ears? I need someone to interpret for me?...]

First they asked me for $5. :-) Then they went on the offensive defensive:

Both Rudy Giuliani and Sarah Palin specifically mocked Barack's experience as a community organizer on the South Side of Chicago more than two decades ago, where he worked with people who had lost jobs and been left behind when the local steel plants closed.

Let's clarify something for them right now.

Community organizing is how ordinary people respond to out-of-touch politicians and their failed policies.

My dear Dems,
That may be true, but they don't usually expect to become President of the United States based upon that "experience".

JERUSALEM - Israeli agents who kidnapped Nazi mastermind Adolf Eichmann from Argentina in 1960 found the notorious death camp doctor Josef Mengele but let him get away, one of the operatives said Tuesday.

Mengele was one of the most wanted Nazi war criminals, a doctor who conducted cruel experiments on twins and dwarves at the Auschwitz concentration camp and killed children with lethal injections. He selected prisoners who would be subjected to his experiments and sent others straight to their death in gas chambers.

Rafi Eitan, now an 81-year-old Israeli Cabinet minister, told The Associated Press on Tuesday that he and other Mossad agents located Mengele living in a Buenos Aires apartment with his wife at the time of Eichmann's capture in 1960.

But they decided that trying to nab him would risk sabotaging the capture of Eichmann, who implemented Adolf Hitler's "final solution" to kill European Jewry and was deemed a more important target.

Collects a pay check mostly. As far as I have been able to find out, what Obama did as a community organizer was help push through a low income housing project that was so shoddily built that it is now virtually uninhabitable. The Boston Globe did an expose about it a few months back - pretty detailed, lots of pictures. Shocking really. He sure didn't do the people of Chicago any favors.

And should something happen to make her president in the next four years, she can shore up whatever deficit in foreign policy she might have at the time by picking a new VP with expertise in that area....just like Obama is doing now! I have a feeling she already knows the lay of the land and will have specifics down in record time.

It is all about decision making in the long run....the ability to make one, stand by that decision, evaluating the outcomes of it, and going forward with or without adjustments.

I don't get the Nazis fleeing to South America. Why did Argentina and Paraguay give them haven? And, what about the present-day Muslim compounds there?

Those South American dictatorships that gave safe haven to the Nazi's were looking for a few things. 1) money 2) Military expertise for their army, navy , and air force 3) police state help expertise similar to the Gestapo. The German aviation experts that went to Argentina were allowed to continue work on the jet aircraft they had been developing for Hitler. And in general alot of thees countries were lead by assholes.

Why should Fox be immune from criticism? More than a few of their folks have been clearly every bit as biased as CNN etc. and one of their talking heads (Alan Colmes) has been leading the effort to libel her over her delivery choices. To boot, Fox is allowing O'Reilly is interviewing Obama tonight shortly before John McCain's acceptance speech, for which they are sending out a full page ad to everyone who writes to them - disguised as a "thank you for writing" note. Immediately after that another Fox channel is running a quickly scheduled NFL pre-season game.

My suggestion to you, if you don't want to hear any criticism of Fox is to join FoxFans. I'm sure you'll be comfortable there.

When it comes to reportage, yes, it's a double standard. However, it is bred of a distorted perspective, I think. American leftists take the low ground, and want to pass condoms out to grade school kids and advocate fellatio for presidents who keep abortion "safe and legal." They interpret faltering from ideals (such as faithfulness and chastity) as hypocrisy. It's a defense mechanism for avoiding acknowledgment of the wallow they choose to live in.

Hell, if Palin had been a nun, the MSM would be reporting she's an alcoholic because she was seen taking an extra hit of communion wine, once.

Ain't THAT the truth? Palin as VP is a stronger candidate than Obama... "The LEAST-QUALIFIED CANDIDATE in American history", to quote Giuliani!

Mandy, interesting stuff on this website, a little clumsy to navigate.

I had no idea it dated back that far.

Is the reference to the "Moorish" race a reference to Islam or to Sephardic Jews?

I think Palin's a diamond in the rough, but genuine. That genuineness came through clearly. Her little daughter is hilarious. Did you see her signal her older sister to stand up? Later, she was cradling her little brother. Precious.

With some polish, this lady's going to be a powerhouse. John McCain just introduced us to the future of the Republican Party!

re: #797 Karridine

I just watched the Palin VP Speech which I missed while working this morning... SAVORING, says it better! Holy Moley, some FINE, truthful zingers in there... and she's authentic! I LIKE HER, Mandy!

So do I, Karridine!

I would be too. Literally his entire campaign has been lifted straight out of the Bob the Builder song. Maybe that is why he appeals to the mindless young.

The best part was watching the faces of the talking heads as they HAD to concede she hit it out of the park.Second best was the almost instantaneous response from the Obama and Time magazine, sooooo danged......bitter.

re: #801 galloping granny

Karridine, to really appreciate that speech you should have watched Giuliani first. Mitt too. They just slaughtered Obama, chewed him and spit him out. Flayed him alive over some things. All with a smile. Rudi was actually laughing at him.

Biden, too! He beat them up, took their lunch money and then ate their lunch.

So Obama is ready for two big disgraces? Or do the books themselves count?

She does not need any "polish" - Sarah Palin is just fine exactly as she is. She already is a powerhouse.

Moorish was the European catch-all name for North Africans.

I was bad and watched to roll call. It was nice to see them do the entire thing, even with a completely foregone conclusion. So, what did The One and Time have to say?

I knew you would be one of her biggest defenders in less than a week. I just knew it!

re: #832 galloping granny

I agree that she's "just fine". I think that on a national stage, she can and will get even better. And that's what I mean by "polish"!

Good morning Lizards............. Well I watched Sarah Palin last night.... Holy cow, now wonder they call her Sarah Barracuda.........

re: #301 zombie

That is a very good theory. Because how else could I have been at so many places at the same time in Denver? I might be Miss AP and several other people.

Personally, I think "zombie" is an entire organization
