They'll have plenty to talk about when McCain wins. Lots of blame to pass around. It will be most amusing.

As for the "FrighteningProspect" poster: Brilliant!

More name-recognition and more visual recognition for Sarah Palin. Keep at it, foolish Left -- all you've succeeded in doing is making her the most famous woman in America. Which in the long run means more votes, since fame=popularity, so mater how much you intend to demonize.

More, more, more!

This is how the left preaches confidence!

Ahh, I long for the days when you could have a simple disagreement with someone over politics.

Remember, this is only the latest in what has been a long, long litany of falsehoods, genuine smears and general looniness of a left-wing ideology that truly thinks Socialism is a good idea.

This is what a good college education gets you.

re: #9 Shug

one can only hope

On that shared office thing--could one of the lizards in Chicago actually go by that office building and take a look around. Some office buildings are actually rather small, and it is conceivable that there might be ready proof that they were closer than anyone wants to let on.

By the way, is there a way to change one's nic, other than by going out the door and coming back in under a new name the next time registration opens up?

this is how the left preaches tolerance!

what a ridiculous childish poster.
not even clever.

Why the insane hatred? IMHO because Palin has real faith & it panics some people who have none. It is a spiritual thing you see here. and here is a quote from the Interview Palin had with Jay Newton-Small, Time Magazine, August 29, 2008:

Where do you see yourself going? Staying on in Alaska. Washington?

You know, I don't know. I knew early on that the smartest thing for me to do was to work hard, do the best that I can, make wise decisions based on good information in front of me. And then put my life, get myself on a path that could be dedicated to God and ask Him what I should next. That will be the position I will be in as long as I'm on earth — that is, seeking the right path that God would have laid out for me.

What's your religion?

Christian.

Any particular...?

No. Bible-believing Christian.

What church do you attend?

A non-denominational Bible church. I was baptized Catholic as a newborn and then my family started going to non-denominational churches throughout our life.

Bolds are mine, and there you have it.

These people can't gin up the hatred of McCain, so they're going after the next best thing - Palin. And Palin is showing that she's got a tougher skin than anything Obama's supporters can dish out. Obama would cry racism the moment someone complains about an Obama stated position. Palin merely shrugs it off with a smile and a witty comment.

It's that abortion stance that has some of my coworkers acting as though she's the second coming of the devil or some other such blatherings. I would counter with the fact that Obama's so far to the left on the issue of abortion that he supports infanticide, but that wouldn't even begin to register with some of these people.

There, I fixed it. Now for a picture of Obama with blue goo coming out of his mouth....

Everything thrown at Palin is magnified when applied to Obama.

Here's a heartening article:

News outlets sweat over exit poll accuracy

In theory, exit polls should match election results. But for all the care that goes into conducting accurate exit polls, errant results aren’t completely uncommon. Respected polling analyst Mark Blumenthal found that during the Democratic primaries this year, preliminary exit polls overestimated Obama's strength in 18 of 20 states, by an average error of 7 percentage points, based on leaked early results.
The reason? Obama’s supporters were younger, better educated and often more enthusiastic than Hillary Clinton's, meaning they were more likely to participate in exit polls.

Projection pure and simple. Who really is going to suck the life out of hard working people?

Maybe it's just me, but when I click reply or quote it takes me back to the main page. Seems to work okay in Internet Exploiter but Firefox is having issues.

Ah ha! Went back to the website, clicked on "About the Project".

It is apparently run by three charming souls, "Jenny", "Dean" and "Sarah". Their thumbnail bios are simply, heh, heh----precious. "Jenny" likes dogs better than cats. (Hey, I'm impressed!) "Dean" is a self-described "jerk" (no argument there!) "Sarah's" bio has a picture of Sarah Palin herself accompanying it. (The others have blocked out their faces in the same way bad guys on "Cops" have theirs covered). This, along with the name, makes me wonder if "Sarah" isn't suffering from some sort of twisted hero-worship of the very woman she wants to defame.

If you go to Dean's bio, and click on the highlighted "Shepard Farey" link, you'll get to a website that sells the giant Obama OBEY poster.

re: #3 Shug

re: #131 zombie
Undercover work. Good for you.

Remember not so long ago when candidates like Giuliani were dismissed [in my opinion a tragedy for the Nation] because they didn't meet the hard Right's most basic litmus test- abortion.

Remember when Palin was picked to appeal to the base- again because of such values.

Well, Catholics, many at least, don't seem to give a damn about the abortion issue in this election.

A Catholic Shift to Obama?

Not this year. Catholics, who are quintessential swing voters and gave narrow but crucial support to President Bush in 2004, are drifting toward Barack Obama. And this time, some church leaders are suggesting that single-issue voting is by no means a Catholic commandment.

In an interview yesterday, Gabino Zavala, an auxiliary bishop in the Los Angeles Archdiocese, said his fellow bishops have long insisted that "we're not a one-issue church," a view reflected in their 2007 document "Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship."

re: #106 ellem

What are these Libtards going to be angry about once the Messiah wins?

The only reason I can see for Palin to spend two whole days with Robertson and Dobson, instead of with the MSM, is to pay her respect to the fundamentalist big dogs. It's an indication of how much political muscle-flexing is going on behind the scenes by them.

Both of these groups are vigorous promoters of creationism too, which is always nice.

re: #135 Killgore Trout

I saw the marriage ammendment thing yesterday and I'm done trying to like Palin. Other people seem to like her and that's fine but I think I'm done.

Talking about handling marriage laws at the Federal level is a mistake, IMHO. But I still like her.

And these may be the same guys. If they are, big shocka, they're based in San Francisco, right? [Link: www.sfbg.com...]

Eagleburger: Obama Is Going to be a Real Problem

CO-HOST MARTHA MACCALLUM: As you look at what’s going on around the world, what do you think about the prospect of a Barack Obama presidency in the world today?

FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE LAWRENCE EAGLEBURGER: I’m scared of it. I really am. I’m frightened by it. And partly because he doesn’t know international affairs. And I’d be interested to see how Colin Powell can reconcile to his positions, that is Barack Obama’s positions on Iraq, Afghanistan and so forth. But I think the world is going to be, as Senator Biden indicated, it’s going to be tough time! And I would far rather have Senator McCain, who I know, knows foreign affairs, and knows where he’s going. I think Obama is going to be a real problem until he gets his feet on the ground, and that’s going to take some time.

Scary

re: #118 realwest

Sigh. What is Optical Character Recognition software ?
Some kind of fancy-schmanzy scanner?!

Normally, when you scan a page of text in, all you're getting is a picture of that page of text.

If you then take that picture of a text page, and run it through what is known as Optical Character Recognition software, the computer will do its best to convert that picture into editable text.

re: #150 opinionated

Whether anyone likes it or not THE CHURCH has always condemned abortion, and always will. It is and will remain a moral issue, within or without the church.

Fortune magazine had a article on Henry Paulson in September. One comment in it was this; "Then there's the brilliant but caustic Barney Frank, who has unexpectedly become one of Paulson's closest collaborators." One scary thought.

Sarah Palin is doing interviews for the next couple of days with Pat Robertson's 700 Club, and with James Dobson's Focus on the Family.

Oh, that's fine. If that is the worst segment of the right hand side, then things aren't too bad.

re: #150 opinionated

Remember not so long ago when candidates like Giuliani were dismissed [in my opinion a tragedy for the Nation] because they didn't meet the hard Right's most basic litmus test- abortion.

Remember when Palin was picked to appeal to the base- again because of such values.

Well, Catholics, many at least, don't seem to give a damn about the abortion issue in this election.

A Catholic Shift to Obama?

So sad... As a Catholic I understand the need to not be a one-issue voter but I do believe that one who votes and supports a candidate that might espoue views against some basic tenets of the Church should not receive the Eucharist.

I don't have a problem with her doing those shows, but I don't think that is where she needs to go. I think most Christians of the traditional bent are already for her.

Well, McCain wouldn't go on those shows directly because he doesn't have the street cred. Palin's choice as VP was to get the fundamentalists, red meat, conservative core energized, and this is all part of the plan. It lets McCain be McCain. Besides, she gets to circumvent the big media outlets and speak directly to tens of millions of people outside the traditional venues.

I'm not a fan of Dobson or Robertson, but from a political standpoint, she's doing what she has to in order to win the election for McCain by energizing the base to get the vote out.

Contrast that with Biden, who's being holed up in a secret bunker because every utterance he makes is a gaffe and a half.

Carl Cameron just said on FOXnews what I said here a few months ago. (Still waiting for my royalties!) The key to this election in Pennsylvania is for one or two of the counties around Philadelphia to go for McCain.

Delaware County, Montgomery County, Chester County & Bucks County in Pennsylvania.

If you know someone living there start working on them!

/not as many Obama lawn signs around these parts as one might think! Yay.

I said after the time of her nomination that Palin would be on the receiving end of the worst political smear job in recent history, and I wasn't disappointed.

I'm a bit P.O.ed this morning and frankly not at the moonbats. If I offend anyone, well...good. I apologize if this is OT but I need to post this before the Useful Idiots I work with get in. How many of you watch The View? How many of you or your sisters or your wives watch Oprah? Two and a Half Men? The Daily Show? Probably more than a few. Well, congrats on being part of the problem. I think the time for walking softly and carrying a big stick is over. If you patronize any of the advertisers on those shows, for shame. You don't like Tina Fey then why don't you cancel your Amex card? Don't like the fact that video game used an Obama billboard? Don't buy it or anything else produced by that company. We have pocketbooks, it's time to start using them more wisely. And "getting in their faces" works both ways. It's not enough to say in your kitchen or anonymously post on the internet "Yeah, it sucks my local paper endorsed Obama". You need get on the phone or internet and contact all their advertisers and say you won't patronize them anymore. And parents? I'm looking at you. Stop being hypocritical and lazy. Times are tough and if you say "oh, no, I can't not buy Product A or not watch Show B 'cuz my kid's will hate me" then just enroll them at Bard and register as a Democrat. We don't need the likes of you. So, next time you see an Obama sign in a coffee shop, a bakery or grocery store call up the management and tell them they lost a customer. My local Vons had an Obama supporter inside their store. Guess where I don't shop anymore? And yeah, it's a bitch to drive farther away but I'd rather support a store that doesn't harass me. Don't like the fact one magazine endorsed Obama? Cancel ALL your subscriptions. Don't just wait for the NY Times to call up and ask you to subscribe. Call them and tell them you never will. Let's get noisy and stop being scared. Freedom of speech ain't free and I'm tired of our side putting up with it.

Take Luck!

I just watched McCain talking at a rally and he said "Now is no time for someone to be tested in a crisis with the economy the way it is and with two wars going on", and he said the same thing yesterday at another rally. I think the last thing independents and soft dems want to hear is ANYTHING having to do with war, especially the war in Iraq that they feel we shouldn't have been in in the first place, so just "saying" war is a hot button topic. I think McCain should change the conversation to how RISKY Obama IS because we don't know how HE will respond. Responding to an international crisis is much different than and economic crisis and if his response would be anything like his reticent response to the economic crisis, we're all in big trouble. Again, McCain needs to POUND the fact that Obama hasn't been tested and he's just too RISKY! I'd be yelling it from the roof tops.

Catholicism ain't a democracy and never has been. The Church is essentially a private organization, and it can give its communion to whomever it deems worthy.

If that doesn't seem right, perhaps you should "pray for more faith". (That's the answer a nun I know got when she asked her Bishop why women couldn't hold more senior positions in the church).

But if this is causing you angst, don't worry about it. Fortunately, you can still vote for whomever you choose, then ask for absolution afterwards.

I find it interesting that, for one thing, Obama isn't flying to Hawaii immediately. He should have gone last week if he really cared about Grandma. Secondly, when his own mother was dying in 1995, Obama did not go out to see here because he was too busy campaigning for the Illinois Senate. Now, I think Ann was a piss-poor excuse for a mother, and I don't blame Obama for not felling close to her. But I think it says something negative about his character that he couldn't even make the gesture, if only for his sister's and grandmother's sakes, when the woman was on her deathbed.

Why the insane hatred? IMHO because Palin has real faith & it panics some people who have none. It is a spiritual thing you see here. and here is a quote from the Interview Palin had with Jay Newton-Small, Time Magazine, August 29, 2008:

Bolds are mine, and there you have it.

BDS was originally born out of W's openness about his faith, I believe.

The irony of this poster is that Judeo/Christian beliefs are to the Left what a crucifix is to a vampire:

John 3:17-20
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world should be saved through him. The one who believes in him is not condemned. The one who does not believe has been condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God. Now this is the basis for judging: that the light has come into the world and people loved the darkness rather than the light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone who does evil deeds hates the light and does not come to the light, so that their deeds will not be exposed.

If you're trying to energize the base in late October, you've probably already shit the bed on your campaign. Sending Palin to these guys is like sending Obama or Biden to chat with Air America and Keith Olbermann. At this point, you need to assume that they're with you, because if they're not, you're going to lose anyway, and if you don't spend that time on persuadable undecideds, you can write your concession speech now.

Win or lose, and I don't think the latter is a foregone conclusion, John McCain will probably look back on his campaign staff with more than a few (justifiable) bad thoughts.

The biggest part of any election is getting the base out to vote. Realistically that's as important as convincing the so-called "undecideds" to go your way. So if you look at this as an investment in that light, it makes sense.

Also, as a not-incidental side issue, empirically Palin can't seem get a fair shake in the traditional media. Why give her enemies more chances to rake her over the coals?

No, it's not. The same Weltanschauung will be used in either an economic or a military crisis.

For the first time in my life I have a use for Optical Character Recognition software. Trying it right now -- saving me a LOT of time! And it works like a charm. Amazing.

The Obama campaign is going to have an aneurysm when they see this. Heh.

SO its all Zombies fault that the big O is taking a vacation. Excellant work there Zombie!

re: #135 Killgore Trout

I saw the marriage ammendment thing yesterday and I'm done trying to like Palin.

What of it? Even if such a thing could pass both the Senate and the House with flying colors, then get the signature of the President, it still needs the endorsement of 3/4 of the state legislatures.

If you're still worried about it, just remember the Equal Rights Amendment. It's still around, but it's in a Persistent Vegetative State.

re: #163 bellamags

Its good to see young faces here. Makes me a little more optimistic about the future.

Indeed - liberals have gotten on my nerves my whole life. When I was a child I often wondered where they got their convoluted ideals and how they could look themselves in the mirror while living such a miserable, hypocritical existence.

re: #201 gmsc

I know, I know: Giuliani wasn't pro-life enough, Romney was too Mormon, Fred Thompson didn't really want to run and there was that other guy, whose name completely escapes me at the moment, who ate squirrels, in his college dorm. . .none of them were considered quite good enough. The port-and-cigars country club Republicans don't like Palin because she's, well, too much of a redneck. . . and so it goes. It's the eleventh hour, and we're still quibbling about this stuff, whereas the Dems got solidy behind Obama, even dumping Queen Hilary to give him their entire support.

re: #242 Killgore Trout

I've toyed with the idea but I just can't do it. I will not be voting this time.

Wow! What about voting for the proverbial lesser of two evils?

Bucks is known for the arts enclaves in New Hope and Lahaska. Left leaning all the way...

re: #224 kingkenrod

Appeal to them- fine.

Giving them a veto- disastrous, as this election may prove.

re: #228 Charles

Sorry, but you'll never convince me that the correct way to negotiate social issues is to amend the US Constitution.

I think they tried prohibition.

Should they have given women the right to Vote?

re: #247 joncelli

You think? There are still many PA rednecks (heh) in Bucks and Chester, while Delaware and Montgomery are mostly upper-class inner suburbs, right?

Eh, just focus on them all! Every county in PA... Well, except for Philly proper...

re: #251 J.D.

Right-o. Did anyone ask what's the difference?

I'm no expert on the litigation of it all but I'm pretty sure there are differences. I'm also pretty sure Obama might experience a "change of heart" on the issue if he's elected and fully support gay marriage.
