From former city GOP Chairman Art Mocabee, who is at the Republican Party convention:
What is the difference between a pit bull and a hockey Mom?...Lipstick! Sarah has a great sense of humor!
Barracuda! ...is the nick name given to Sarah Palin during her college basketball days and the reasons why, were clearly herd by convention delegates Wednesday night.
Governor Palin's acceptance speech was like reading an exciting chapter in a great book. It keep getting better and better as she detailed her identity to us and the nation.
Rudy Guiliani's said it best when he said that John McCain's choice for the VP position is a new leader for the future of our country, that McCain looked forward, in stark contrast to Senator Joe Biden. Coupled with Governor Mike Huckabee's remark that Sarah Palin recieved more votes as the Mayor of Vasilla Alaska then Biden got as a democrat candidate for the Presidency. Mitt Romney pelted us with constant reminders of how liberal the democrat platform is.
Prior to the headliners mentioned above, the delegates we addressed by about 8 or 10 speakers, including the Governor of Hawaii Linda Lingle, Carly Fiorina and a host of small town COO's, Mayors and other elected officials. The message was clear, an administration lead by John McCain and Sarah Palin will have a friend in the White House that has a keen interest (and the experience) in assisting states and municipalities, family's with children who have special needs and our service men and women. Barracuda!!!
In all the night was capped off by an appearance of John McCain on stage with Sarah and her family.
This AM we were addressed by Senator Joe Lieberman. He attended our breakfast briefing and was applauded by us all. He is as convinced as ever that John McCain is the right man for the job.
A remark that keeps getting repeated throughout this convention that was made by McCain 18 months ago or so was that John McCain would rather win the security off America's homeland by supporting the surge in Iraq then win and election. "He has used his career to effect change not change to effect his career". Sums it up
We have been warned again of the threat of violent protestors at tonight's closing session. Since our first experience on Monday night, our organizers have been pretty good about getting us in and out safely.
In all I believe this convention will send us all home with renewed enthusiasm to lead to John McCain's election. We have been educated and motivated to help the voters of our communities understand the differences between the choices.

Way to go Art! We saw you and Healey on TV! I hope you all are having a great time. Be careful (of the left wing nuts) and see you soon.
It is totally perfect that Bristol Palin, the knocked-up teen-ager, is named Bristol. After all, we're a town full of trailer trash.
Palin is a gift from God to the Obama campaign.
She, along with all her "baggage," will be the catalyst to putting Democrats in control of Congress, control of the Senate and control of the White House. Democrats will "rule the roost" and be in an enviable position to appoint two or three Supreme Court Justices over the next eight years!
God Bless Barack Obama and God Bless the U.S.A.!
Holier than thou republicans? They condone everything they do. Consider the source. These clowns think they are better than anyone.
Mockery would like a beauty queen even if she were a democrat!
Is Art kidding? McCain has changed many of positions that seperated him the G.O.D. portion of the G.O.P. Yes, McCain was out ahead of the curve on the surge but changed his position on enhanced interrogation techniques(AKA torture), thru his VP pick has taken a more fundamentalist turn toward social issues, and moved away from following the tenents of the campaign finance bill he championed. Is this change we can believe in, or for that matter the kind of change we want?
nice try mr. mcain, but with your pick of mrs. palin, you have effectively handed mr. obama the keys to the white house.
i would much rather have a young president with a seasoned political pro in the background, than a guy who is one heart attack away from having mrs. palin assume the highest office in the country.
face it mr. mcain, it is time for you to go back to your 7 houses and have your "wifes" beer distributor fortune carry you through your soon-to-be nursing home days.
lets not make the same mistake we made four years ago - eight truly is enough!!
make way for barak obama and joe biden !!
-billy from bristol
Wow, sounds like some really worried democrats here! If you have to stoop to taking potshots at a teenager, you guys must really be sweating it! I understand though...Ms. Palin is definitely proving herself to be an intelligent, strong and dynamic woman. She's going to make an excellent VP!
McCain/Palin - 2008!!!!
"nice try mr. mcain, but with your pick of mrs. palin, you have effectively handed mr. obama the keys to the white house."
Why would obama need keys? Can't he just part the doors like he does the waters?...or is it walk on water? Water into wine? ...
Mr. McCain's choice of Mrs. Palin has effectively put the keys to the white house securely in his pocket.
"She, along with all her "baggage," will be the catalyst to putting Democrats in control of Congress"
Perhaps she and her "baggage" should be stoned? Burned at the stake? How dare SHE run for office. I mean, God knows no MAN has ever disgraced the Office!
Oh, and wouldn't Barak rather be blessed by Mohammad than God?
Was that Art Mocabee I saw on TV hitting on Sarah Palin?
Macabre is baaaaack !!!!! Please give him something to cry about. He is bored.
All someone has to do is read you guys remarks on here to find ouy who the real "nuts" are.
September 4, 2008 12:59 PM:
God bless Obama and God bless America? That's a far cry from what B. Hussein Obama's pastor (Rev. Wright) said.
Palin is a great VP candidate and she and McCain will win.
5:41 I thought it was you clowns that can part the waters?
"Palin is a great VP candidate and she and McCain will win."
Wishful thinking. I do give the RNC credit for the fantastic job they did of hiding all the puppet strings being used to control the former "beauty" queen who sounds like my grandmother when she speaks. Her speech was soooooo scripted. At several points she seemed to forget her lines. She's nothing more than a third-rate actress. She should go back to breeding. She must still have a few good eggs left in her.
8:23P.M. - Palin has more class than hooking up with a "wannabe."
7:42 ~ I think you must have been watching American Idol instead of the RNC. Mrs. Palin's speech was electrifying. She's a dynamic speaker who charged the audience with her contagious enthusiasm. She's going to be an amazing VP!
As for your comment, "She should go back to breeding. She must still have a few good eggs left in her." ... well, your stupidity speaks for itself.
September 5, 2008 7:42 AM;
Keep talking you low-life liberal left wing turkey.
At least she's not a clueless, neo-socialist, anti-American phoney like Barak Hussein Obama or a has-been, blow hard Joe Biden.
8:06
But Art M. doesn't recognize class.
"At several points she seemed to forget her lines. She's nothing more than a third-rate actress."
If you bothered to get the facts before you spout off you would know that the telepropmter operator didn't pause during the applause Gov. Palin was getting during her speech. When she tried to pick up where she left off, the telepropmter was already ahead of her. She actually did the speech from notes on the podium and from memory. Not bad for a "third-rate actress". Was the "Messiah" Obama able to do that when something similar happened to him?
@ 10:39 AM
Excuses. Excuses. The fact remains she doesn't even know what she's saying. Any simpleton can read a prepared script. She's a fraud. Don't be surprised if she withdraws in the next couple of weeks.
If she doesn't, skilled orators like Senator Obama and Biden will chew her up and spit her out on the campaign trail, and in the debates. It's only a matter of time before she's crying like a little school girl at recess. I hope she's smart enough to wear waterproof mascara. LOL
Rather than playing make believe with her new found bosom buddy John McCain, she should be home changing the diapers of her newborn baby, providing emotional support to her pregnant daughter, and caring for the rest of her family.
I'm curious, does anyone know if a physical examination was part of the vetting process? Because someone should have checked to see if this she-devil has a tail hidden under her skirt! I'm 99% certain I saw little horns poking through her bangs Wednesday night.
May all the Gods and Goddesses Bless Barack Obama, Joe Biden and the U.S.A. (yes, even Muhammad)!
Hey male chauvinist, whats wrong with her husband staying home and changing diapers?
@ 7:11 PM
Nothing at all. And I apologize for appearing chauvinist. I'm really not.
Still, one needs to question why a Mother who only a few months earlier gave birth to a child with downs syndrome isn't making that child the number one highest priority in her life. Some folks who honestly value family might see this as avoiding responsibility or abdicating responsibility to her husband and children. Maybe the job is too hard for her?
It's also worth questioning whether she could be avoiding or abdicating her responsibilities as the Governor of Alaska. She's left that job up to Lieutenant Governor Sean Parnell. Maybe that job is also too hard for her?
And if she thinks these jobs are too hard for her to handle, do we really want to trust her with potentially running the country when Grandpa McCain kicks the bucket in the unlikely event he becomes President? Think about it, and then convince me that the country shouldn't be concerned about this potential catastrophe waiting to happen!
And would Barack and Biden keep their current jobs?
And can't the father give as much love as the mother?
Where do you get the thought that she thinks the Governors job is too hard?
Palin's qualifications make Obama look like a kindergartner. She is the one top person in the state of Alaska, and before that the small town of Wasilla. (Small town mayors do not have large staffs, they do much more themselves.) Obama has recently gone to Washington and voted. Big deal. He doesn't know anything about real responsibility. So don't worry about Palin being "a heartbeat away." And what about Mrs. Clinton's failure to stay home and bake cookies? Wasn't that supposed to be a good thing? Remember "it takes a village"? How soon that's forgotten when the spotlight is on a strong, moral, beautiful, REPUBLICAN woman. LOL
"someone should have checked to see if this she-devil has a tail hidden under her skirt! I'm 99% certain I saw little horns poking through her bangs Wednesday night."
"She-devil"? Whoa there big fella. Why are you trying to demonize her? Is a strong, intelligent woman that much of a threat? Your concern for her family's welfare, while admirable, is misplaced. Let's see...according to your twisted logic, Mrs. Palin becoming vice president would be "avoiding and abdicating her responsibilities" to her family...but MEN have been doing it for years. What's the difference?
September 5, 2008 5:32 PM:
You must be kidding. If you actually believe your dillusions, I quite honestly feel sorry for you.
But keep talking, your sick opinion will only energize the base of the Republican party in the south and in the mid-west. You and the left-wing fanatical hacks are dooming yourselves.
you republicans should be focussing on how the republican slate has improved from a Vice-President who couldn't shoot straight to a Vice-Presidential candidate who can distinguish between her hunting partner and a moose.
moccabee has a dismal history of endorsing losers, including his own candidacies.
Mocabee likes anything in lipstick.
Art M has slowly but thoroughly dragged the republican party down to his level.
3:54p.m. - which means that when you hit bottom - there is no place to go but up.
maybe the local gop has a bright future in that the state gop has rescued them from the failures of mocabee's involvement.
Hope that they can do the same with Shaffrick.....
@ September 6, 2008 8:33 AM
The "difference" is quite clear. Her name is Bristol Palin and she's a 17 year old pregnant adolescent. You have to ask yourself, what kind of woman/mother puts a political career before the welfare of her own child?
This isn't about gender. It's about a family, an incomplete family, having to face real problems, and she's avoiding them in order to be in the spotlight.
I suppose it's really not Sarah's fault, though. After all, she was raised around the "beauty pageant" circuit (circus), and apparently has never outgrown the superficiality of that whacky world.
She's going down, and she's going to take the rest of the repugnant republican party with her.
Again, she's a gift for the Obama/Biden ticket! Thanks Granpa McCain for the early X-MAS gift!
You call always tell when someone has it right because the quwak unionists, the liberals and the people who got knocked out of the way due to their indifference, inabilities and narrow minds come out like flies on the stuff they say and are full of!
9:13 What language is that in?
8:30, Well, if it's not about gender I guess we can ask the same question..what kind of man/father puts a political career before the welfare of his own child?
Let's see, there's President Clinton's poor little daughter Chelsea Clinton who suffered the public humiliation over her father's messy affair with a much younger intern, Ronald Regan's drug addicted daughter, the Kennedy family...well, just take your pick there. How about Grover Cleveland's illegitimate son? Thomas Jefferson and his slave's two children born out of wedlock? What kind of man/father puts a political career before the welfare of his child you ask...all of the above and many more I'm sure. Your double standard isn't cutting it. Compared to the scandalous behavior of many of our "male" presidents themselves, Ms. Palin's pregnant daughter doesn't amount to a fart in a windstorm. As for her being a "gift" to the Obama/Biden ticket...I wouldn't count on it.
McCain/Palin '08!!!!
"I suppose it's really not Sarah's fault, though. After all, she was raised around the "beauty pageant" circuit (circus), and apparently has never outgrown the superficiality of that whacky world."
Gosh, if the "beauty pagent circuit (circus)" is a superficial "whacky world", what would you consider Ronald Regan's "Bedtime for Bonzo" movie career? What about Arnold "Terminator" Schwartzenager? Or Sonny Bono? What part of "I got you babe" prepared him to be governor (right before he skied into a tree while high as a kite)? Don't forget "Gopher" on the Love Boat. Isn't he also a governor?
How do you figure that you're not chauvinistic?
@ September 8, 2008 2:31 PM
Interesting choice of REPUBLICAN examples cited in your comments. All boneheads!
Apparently, you've somehow confused my criticism of one terribly awful example of a woman/mother with chauvinism.
Just so we're clear on the definition of CHAUVINISM, here's Mariam Webster's take on the word:
1: excessive or blind patriotism
2: undue partiality or attachment to a group or place to which one belongs or has belonged
3: an attitude of superiority toward members of the opposite sex; also : behavior expressive of such an attitude
Not that I feel in any way obligated to answer your biased (somewhat chauvinistic) question, I will do so by stating the following:
Assuming of course you are accusing me of being a MALE chauvinist, I can simply refute that assertion by saying I love and respect women. In fact, I'm married to a very strong-willed and accomplished woman. I respect and admire my wife even more today than I did the day I met. And my love for her grows daily.
Furthermore, my wife agrees that Sarah Palin is a poor excuse for a woman and should not be parading around America thinking she is something special, because she isn't. Both my wife and I find her to be despicable. Her views set women back decades.
Are you now going to accuse my wife of being chauvinistic, too? I doubt it.
Stop the madness! VOTE OBAMA/BIDEN!!!
"3: an attitude of superiority toward members of the opposite sex; also : behavior expressive of such an attitude"
The fact that you refer to Ms. Palin as "terribly awful" because she's not home being June Cleaver to Ward and the boys says it all. You have no problem with strong male leaders, but a strong woman obviously scares the bejesus out of you. Guess it's okay to marry one, but don't let one in the white house unless she's picking out the china. For the rest of us, it's 2008 and we realize that women are capable of much, much more. Ms. Palin is going to make an excellent leader! GO MCCAIN/PALIN!!!
8:05 ~ Whether or not they were boneheads, no one ever questioned their character or leadership ability because they had troubled family lives or superficial whackiness in their background. Why should Ms. Palin be any different?
"Ms. Palin is going to make an excellent leader!"
Your hope that MRS. Palin will suddenly become this amazing leader is wishful thinking. What's your rationale? I suppose it's simply that her currently weak record can only be improved upon.
McCain and Palin are a couple of deceitful buffoons! I'm soooooooooo looking forward to the debates. The polls will skyrocket in favor of OBAMA/BIDEN after they make mincemeat out of grampa McCain and his grand daughter wannabe Sarah.
OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA!
"McCain and Palin are a couple of deceitful buffoons!"
Hahahahahaha. Somebody sounds a little worried. MCCAIN/PALIN 2009! We need a president, not a messiah. NOBAMA!!!!
A beauty queen for president. 7oo,000 people in total Alaska. As big as Austin Texas .You guys are just plain nasty wishful thinkers. You could care less about the country as long as you win one. What a joke you are!
2:07 - We had a guy who made movies with a monkey become president and I think he did a pretty good job. Why hold a beauty queen title against Ms. Palin? It's not wishful thinking to want the most experienced candidates at the helm. Ms. Palin has years of executive experience (Obama has none). McCain has a lifetime of experience he'll bring to the White House. Obama has a speech he gave in 2008. He's all about slick speeches, pretty boy charm and all he talks about is change...and that's about all we'll have left in our pockets if he gets elected. Sadly, that's no joke.
McCain/Palin in 2008!
You know your a republican .....when you've been married three times and you still have the same in laws
.. you can burp and say your name at the same time ...
... you think possum is the other white meat ...
... you lit a match in the bathroom and your house exploded right off its wheels ...
... your huntin' dawg had a litter of puppies in the living room and nobody noticed ...
Who's holding a beauty queen against her? Just because you are prejudice doesn't mean we all think like you. I merely stated that it doesn't qualify her to be president. But according to you allyou have to do is look good or make a movie with a monkey. You can't even qualify for that.
and you know you're a democrat when you repeat stupid (old) jokes because you don't have a leg to stand on.
Funny thing to hear people complain that there are not that many people in Alaska, but Delaware only has 800,000 people and Biden is from that state. Didn't hear people complain about Biden being from a low population state when he was picked. I would just keep it to actual issues facing AMERICANS not this BS Noise about who is from where and how many people live there.
Biden is a Senator who acts on behalf of the entire population of the U.S.
Mrs. Palin is only a Governor.
Big difference.
GOBAMA!
Yeah convince us all that a beauty queen that never even got involved with foreign policy is better than Biden. Get serious if you can !
The beauty queen running for VP has years of executive experience. The democratic candidate running for president has NO experience, but sure does give pretty speeches...and you think I'm the one who needs to get serious?
NOBAMA!!!!
7:32 So has a CEO of any company ,pretty or not they still don't qualify to be President of America !! And you jerks can kiss your opposition to the glass ceiling goodbye now that you like this second place finisher beauty queen.Hypocrites at best !
GoBAMA
8:39 - At least the beauty queen has years of experience and McCain has a lifetime of it. OBAMA has none! He couldn't even qualify for CEO of a company, handsome or not. I guess "you jerks can kiss your opposition to the glass ceiling goodbye" now that you're backing Barak Hussein Obama the "skilled orator."
Defend America/Defeat OBAMA!!!!
Let's set the record straight 8:39AM regarding Senator Obama's experience.
It has been the rich and varied experiences of Barack Obama's life - growing up in different places with people who had differing ideas - that have animated his political journey. Amid the partisanship and bickering of today's public debate, he still believes in the ability to unite people around a politics of purpose - a politics that puts solving the challenges of everyday Americans ahead of partisan calculation and political gain.
In the Illinois State Senate, this meant working with both Democrats and Republicans to help working families get ahead by creating programs like the state Earned Income Tax Credit, which in three years provided over $100 million in tax cuts to families across the state. He also pushed through an expansion of early childhood education, and after a number of inmates on death row were found innocent, Senator Obama worked with law enforcement officials to require the videotaping of interrogations and confessions in all capital cases.
In the U.S. Senate, he has focused on tackling the challenges of a globalized, 21st century world with fresh thinking and a politics that no longer settles for the lowest common denominator. His first law was passed with Republican Tom Coburn, a measure to rebuild trust in government by allowing every American to go online and see how and where every dime of their tax dollars is spent. He has also been the lead voice in championing ethics reform that would root out Jack Abramoff-style corruption in Congress.
As a member of the Veterans' Affairs Committee, Senator Obama has fought to help Illinois veterans get the disability pay they were promised, while working to prepare the VA for the return of the thousands of veterans who will need care after Iraq and Afghanistan. Recognizing the terrorist threat posed by weapons of mass destruction, he traveled to Russia with Republican Dick Lugar to begin a new generation of non-proliferation efforts designed to find and secure deadly weapons around the world. And knowing the threat we face to our economy and our security from America's addiction to oil, he's working to bring auto companies, unions, farmers, businesses and politicians of both parties together to promote the greater use of alternative fuels and higher fuel standards in our cars.
This is a far cry from your claim of having NO experience.
My apologies 8:39AM. My previous comments were obviously directed at the pinhead who posted at 7:32AM.
OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA!
No Messiah Barak Hussein Obama...
NOBAMANATION!
McCain/Palin 2008!!!
Vote for Obama not miss Momma !!
Hey 9:13 iF YOUR'RE GOING TO NAME CALL (WHICH WE ARE ALL USED TO ) LEARN HOW TO SPELL quack !! YOU QUACK !
"It has been the rich and varied experiences of Barack Obama's life - growing up in different places with people who had differing ideas"
TRANSLATION: He moved a lot.
"working with both Democrats and Republicans to help working families get ahead"
TRANSLATION: He had a job.
"As a member of the Veterans' Affairs Committee, Senator Obama has fought to help Illinois veterans get the disability pay they were promised"
TRANSLATION: He knows who to kiss up to.
"Recognizing the terrorist threat posed by weapons of mass destruction, he traveled to Russia with Republican Dick Lugar to begin a new generation of non-proliferation efforts"
TRANSLATION: He realized that did he? Who didn't? Yawn.....
"knowing the threat we face to our economy and our security from America's addiction to oil, he's working to bring auto companies, unions, farmers, businesses and politicians of both parties together to promote the greater use of alternative fuels and higher fuel standards in our cars."
TRANSLATION: He's gonna raise our taxes so high the only oil we'll need will be the grease on our butts when he bends us over and sticks it to us.
MCCAIN/PALIN 2008 - YA BABY!!!!
"Now, get back to your glue-sniffing and porn addiction, Jethro.
OBAMA/BIDEN! OBAMA/BIDEN! OBAMA/BIDEN! OBAMA/BIDEN! OBAMA/BIDEN! OBAMA/BIDEN!
OBAMA/BIDEN! OBAMA/BIDEN! OBAMA/BIDEN!
OBAMA/BIDEN! OBAMA/BIDEN! OBAMA/BIDEN!"
SIMPLE TRANSLATION: My candidate can't hold a candle to yours so I'll call you names and make stupid comments about you and your candidate to make myself feel better. (Hope that's working for you 11:00, cuz it's not going to work for NOBAMA!) LMAO!!!!!
MCCAIN/PALIN `08 - you betcha!
And I "betcha" think YOUR sniping and less than clever "translations" are going to make a difference in the final analysis, 12:24PM.
And, as a matter of fact, I'm feeling GREAT about exposing these repugnant republican hypo-christians via my ability to craft appropriate monikers that will appear ad nauseam on this web log and others just to irritate pea-brain peons like yourself.
Here are some more for your viewing pleasure.
Grampa "One-foot-in-the-grave", "Frankenstein-ish-looking" McCain and his "Hockey Mum/pitbull-pig", "Barracuda Breath", "Hurricane Hussy", "Sidekick Sarah", "Right-Wing Religious Zealot" of a poor excuse for a VP ain't gonna come close to the only real candidates in this election:
Senator Barrack Obama and Senator Joseph Biden!
The McCain campaign had better get started drafting their concession speech!
GOBAMA! GOBAMA! GOBAMA! GOBAMA! GOBAMA! GOBAMA! GOBAMA! GOBAMA! GOBAMA! GOBAMA! GOBAMA! GOBAMA! GOBAMA! GOBAMA! GOBAMA! GOBAMA! GOBAMA! GOBAMA! GOBAMA! GOBAMA! GOBAMA! GOBAMA! GOBAMA! GOBAMA! GOBAMA! GOBAMA! GOBAMA! GOBAMA! GOBAMA! GOBAMA!
Can't take any more republicant's rants !!! Four more years of bush (league) economics is more than we can handle!
Obama's political experience? Negligible. Foreign relations? Non-existent. Achievements? Name one. Someone who wants to unite the country? If you haven't read his wife's thesis from Princeton, look it up on the web. This is who's lining up to be our next First Lady? The only thing I can glean from Obama's constant harping about change is that we're in for a lot of new taxes.
Factually, there is simply no comparison between the two candidates. A man of questionable background and motives who prattles on about change can't hold a candle to a man who has devoted his life in public service to this nation!
There's a lot of evil in this world. That should be readily apparent to all of us by now. And when faced with that evil as we are now, I want a man who knows the cost of war on his troops and on his citizens. I want a man who puts my family's interests before any foreign country.
I want a President who's qualified to lead.
I want my country back, and I'm voting for John McCain.
McCain/Palin '08 - YA BABY!
If you really do want your country back then kiss it goodbye if McCain wins. More Bush is what you seem to like. Go for it!
You know these clowns really do think it's their country and the people took it away from them ! LOL
Funny how the Obama crowd has no real valid argument, just vague comments and insults, all smoke and mirrors, just like their candidate.
You folks say you're voting for Barack Obama, but no one can really tell me why - only that he's going to change a lot of stuff. Change, change, change. I have yet to find one single person who can tell me distinctly and convincingly why this man is qualified to be President and Commander-in-Chief of the most powerful nation on earth - other than the fact that he claims he's going to implement a lot of change...valid argument anyone?
Any change is better than Bushonmics. But we know that you guys want to get richer off the peons . No wonder you don't like change you must like things the way they are. McCain , Bush what's the difference ?
What are Palins qualifications ? She's an almost beauty queen ? And governor of 700,000 peoples state that nobody wants ? So we bought it!
Once again, valid argument?....uh huh, thought not....
"Any change is better than Bushonmics."
Really? What kind of change? What sheep you are!
4:38 At least I'm not like you. A sheep in wolfs clothing. A sniper!
Maybe you'll understand if you read it twice. Any change is better than Bushonmics. But we know that you guys want to get richer off the peons . No wonder you don't like change you must like things the way they are. McCain , Bush what's the difference ?

"I have yet to find one single person who can tell me distinctly and convincingly why this man is qualified to be President and Commander-in-Chief of the most powerful nation on earth - other than the fact that he claims he's going to implement a lot of change...valid argument anyone?"
The difference is CRYSTAL CLEAR! Barack Obama has very detailed plans how he will handle the problems G"W"B and his failed administration created. For instance, here's what he plans to do in order to restore our economy from where it is now to where it should be. This plan is the result of many intelligent minds, Democratic as well as Republican and other political representatives, coming together for solutions. Real change base on collaborative effort with Barack Obama leading the way!
The Economy Problem
Wages are Stagnant as Prices Rise: While wages remain flat, the costs of basic necessities are increasing. The cost of in-state college tuition has grown 35 percent over the past five years. Health care costs have risen four times faster than wages over the past six years. And the personal savings rate is now the lowest it's been since the Great Depression.
Tax Cuts for Wealthy Instead of Middle Class: The Bush tax cuts give those who earn over $1 million dollars a tax cut nearly 160 times greater than that received by middle-income Americans. At the same time, this administration has refused to tackle health care, education and housing in a manner that benefits the middle class.
Barack Obama's Plan
Jumpstart the Economy
Enact a Windfall Profits Tax to Provide a $1,000 Emergency Energy Rebate to American Families:Barack Obama will enact a windfall profits tax on excessive oil company profits to give American families an immediate $1,000 emergency energy rebate to help families pay rising bills. This relief would be a down payment on Obama's long-term plan to provide middle-class families with at least $1,000 per year in permanent tax relief.
Provide $50 billion to Jumpstart the Economy and Prevent 1 Million Americans from Losing Their Jobs: This relief would include a $25 billion State Growth Fund to prevent state and local cuts in health, education, housing, and heating assistance or counterproductive increases in property taxes, tolls or fees. Obama’s relief plan will also include $25 billion in a Jobs and Growth Fund to prevent cutbacks in road and bridge maintenance and fund school re pair - all to save more than 1 million jobs in danger of being cut.
Provide Middle Class Americans Tax Relief
Obama will cut income taxes by $1,000 for working families to offset the payroll tax they pay.
Provide a Tax Cut for Working Families: Obama will restore fairness to the tax code and provide 150 million workers the tax relief they need. Obama will create a new "Making Work Pay" tax credit of up to $500 per person, or $1,000 per working family. The "Making Work Pay" tax credit will completely eliminate income taxes for 10 million Americans.
Eliminate Income Taxes for Seniors Making Less than $50,000: Barack Obama will eliminate all income taxation of seniors making less than $50,000 per year. This proposal will eliminate income taxes for 7 million seniors and provide these seniors with an average savings of $1,400 each year. Under the Obama plan, 27 million American seniors will also not need to file an income tax return.
Simplify Tax Filings for Middle Class Americans: Obama will dramatically simplify tax filings so that millions of Americans will be able to do their taxes in less than five minutes. Obama will ensure that the IRS uses the information it already gets from banks and employers to give taxpayers the option of pre-filled tax forms to verify, sign and return. Experts estimate that the Obama proposal will save Americans up to 200 million total hours of work and aggravation and up to $2 billion in tax preparer fees.
Trade
Obama believes that trade with foreign nations should strengthen the American economy and create more American jobs. He will stand firm against agreements that undermine our economic security.
Fight for Fair Trade: Obama will fight for a trade policy that opens up foreign markets to support good American jobs. He will use trade agreements to spread good labor and environmental standards around the world and stand firm against agreements like the Central American Free Trade Agreement that fail to live up to those important benchmarks. Obama will also pressure the World Trade Organization to enforce trade agreements and stop countries from continuing unfair government subsidies to foreign exporters and nontariff barriers on U.S. exports.
Amend the North American Free Trade Agreement: Obama believes that NAFTA and its potential were oversold to the American people. Obama will work with the leaders of Canada and Mexico to fix NAFTA so that it works for American workers.
Improve Transition Assistance: To help all workers adapt to a rapidly changing economy, Obama would update the existing system of Trade Adjustment Assistance by extending it to service industries, creating flexible education accounts to help workers retrain, and providing retraining assistance for workers in sectors of the economy vulnerable to dislocation before they lose their jobs.
End Tax Breaks for Companies that Send Jobs Overseas: Barack Obama believes that companies should not get billions of dollars in tax deductions for moving their operations overseas. Obama will also fight to ensure that public contracts are awarded to companies that are committed to American workers.
Reward Companies that Support American Workers: Barack Obama introduced the Patriot Employer Act of 2007 with Senators Richard Durbin (D-IL) and Sherrod Brown (D-OH) to reward companies that create good jobs with good benefits for American workers. The legislation would provide a tax credit to companies that maintain or increase the number of full-time workers in America relative to those outside the US; maintain their corporate headquarters in America if it has ever been in America; pay decent wages; prepare workers for retirement; provide health insurance; and support employees who serve in the military.
Invest in the Manufacturing Sector and Create 5 Million New Green Jobs
Invest in our Next Generation Innovators and Job Creators: Obama will create an Advanced Manufacturing Fund to identify and invest in the most compelling advanced manufacturing strategies. The Fund will have a peer-review selection and award process based on the Michigan 21st Century Jobs Fund, a state-level initiative that has awarded over $125 million to Michigan businesses with the most innovative proposals to create new products and new jobs in the state.
Double Funding for the Manufacturing Extension Partnership: The Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) works with manufacturers across the country to improve efficiency, implement new technology and strengthen company growth. This highly-successful program has engaged in more than 350,000 projects across the country and in 2006 alone, helped create and protect over 50,000 jobs. But despite this success, funding for MEP has been slashed by the Bush administration. Barack Obama will double funding for the MEP so its training centers can continue to bolster the competitiveness of U.S. manufacturers.
Invest In A Clean Energy Economy And Create 5 Million New Green Jobs: Obama will invest $150 billion over 10 years to advance the next generation of biofuels and fuel infrastructure, accelerate the commercialization of plug-in hybrids, promote development of commercial scale renewable energy, invest in low emissions coal plants, and begin transition to a new digital electricity grid. The plan will also invest in America's highly-skilled manufacturing workforce and manufacturing centers to ensure that American workers have the skills and tools they need to pioneer the first wave of green technologies that will be in high demand throughout the world.
Create New Job Training Programs for Clean Technologies: The Obama plan will increase funding for federal workforce training programs and direct these programs to incorporate green technologies training, such as advanced manufacturing and weatherization training, into their efforts to help Americans find and retain stable, high-paying jobs. Obama will also create an energy-focused youth jobs program to invest in disconnected and disadvantaged youth.
Boost the Renewable Energy Sector and Create New Jobs: The Obama plan will create new federal policies, and expand existing ones, that have been proven to create new American jobs. Obama will create a federal Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) that will require 25 percent of American electricity be derived from renewable sources by 2025, which has the potential to create hundreds of thousands of new jobs on its own. Obama will also extend the Production Tax Credit, a credit used successfully by American farmers and investors to increase renewable energy production and create new local jobs.
New Jobs Through National Infrastructure Investment
Barack Obama believes that it is critically important for the United States to rebuild its national transportation infrastructure – its highways, bridges, roads, ports, air, and train systems – to strengthen user safety, bolster our long-term competitiveness and ensure our economy continues to grow.
Create a National Infrastructure Reinvestment Bank: Barack Obama will address the infrastructure challenge by creating a National Infrastructure Reinvestment Bank to expand and enhance, not supplant, existing federal transportation investments. This independent entity will be directed to invest in our nation’s most challenging transportation infrastructure needs. The Bank will receive an infusion of federal money, $60 billion over 10 years, to provide financing to transportation infrastructure projects across the nation. These projects will create up to two million new direct and indirect jobs per year and stimulate approximately $35 billion per year in new economic activity.
Technology, Innovation and Creating Jobs
Barack Obama will increase federal support for research, technology and innovation for companies and universities so that American families can lead the world in creating new advanced jobs and products.
Invest in the Sciences: Barack Obama supports doubling federal funding for basic research and changing the posture of our federal government from being one of the most anti-science administrations in American history to one that embraces science and technology. This will foster home-grown innovation, help ensure the competitiveness of US technology-based businesses, and ensure that 21st century jobs can and will grow in America.
Make the Research and Development Tax Credit Permanent: Barack Obama wants investments in a skilled research and development workforce and technology infrastructure to be supported here in America so that American workers and communities will benefit. Obama wants to make the Research and Development tax credit permanent so that firms can rely on it when making decisions to invest in domestic R&D over multi-year timeframes.
Deploy Next-Generation Broadband: Barack Obama believes we can get broadband to every community in America through a combination of reform of the Universal Service Fund, better use of the nation's wireless spectrum, promotion of next-generation facilities, technologies and applications, and new tax and loan incentives.
Support Small Business
Provide Tax Relief for Small Businesses and Start Up Companies: Barack Obama will eliminate all capital gains taxes on start-up and small businesses to encourage innovation and job creation. Obama will also support small business owners by providing a $500 “Making Work Pay” tax credit to almost every worker in America. Self-employed small business owners pay both the employee and the employer side of the payroll tax, and this measure will reduce the burdens of this double taxation.
Create a National Network of Public-Private Business Incubators: Barack Obama will support entrepreneurship and spur job growth by creating a national network of public-private business incubators. Business incubators facilitate the critical work of entrepreneurs in creating start-up companies. Obama will invest $250 million per year to increase the number and size of incubators in disadvantaged communities throughout the country.
Labor
Obama will strengthen the ability of workers to organize unions. He will fight for passage of the Employee Free Choice Act. Obama will ensure that his labor appointees support workers' rights and will work to ban the permanent replacement of striking workers. Obama will also increase the minimum wage and index it to inflation to ensure it rises every year.
Ensure Freedom to Unionize: Obama believes that workers should have the freedom to choose whether to join a union without harassment or intimidation from their employers. Obama cosponsored and is strong advocate for the Employee Free Choice Act, a bipartisan effort to assure that workers can exercise their right to organize. He will continue to fight for EFCA's passage and sign it into law.
Fight Attacks on Workers' Right to Organize: Obama has fought the Bush National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) efforts to strip workers of their right to organize. He is a cosponsor of legislation to overturn the NLRB's "Kentucky River" decisions classifying hundreds of thousands of nurses, construction, and professional workers as "supervisors" who are not protected by federal labor laws.
Protect Striking Workers: Obama supports the right of workers to bargain collectively and strike if necessary. He will work to ban the permanent replacement of striking workers, so workers can stand up for themselves without worrying about losing their livelihoods.
Raise the Minimum Wage: Barack Obama will raise the minimum wage, index it to inflation and increase the Earned Income Tax Credit to make sure that full-time workers earn a living wage that allows them to raise their families and pay for basic needs.
Protect Homeownership and Crack Down on Mortgage Fraud
Obama will crack down on fraudulent brokers and lenders. He will also make sure homebuyers have honest and complete information about their mortgage options, and he will give a tax credit to all middle-class homeowners.
Create a Universal Mortgage Credit: Obama will create a 10 percent universal mortgage credit to provide homeowners who do not itemize tax relief. This credit will provide an average of $500 to 10 million homeowners, the majority of whom earn less than $50,000 per year.
Ensure More Accountability in the Subprime Mortgage Industry: Obama has been closely monitoring the subprime mortgage situation for years, and introduced comprehensive legislation over a year ago to fight mortgage fraud and protect consumers against abusive lending practices. Obama's STOP FRAUD Act provides the first federal definition of mortgage fraud, increases funding for federal and state law enforcement programs, creates new criminal penalties for mortgage professionals found guilty of fraud, and requires industry insiders to report suspicious activity.
Mandate Accurate Loan Disclosure: Obama will create a Homeowner Obligation Made Explicit (HOME) score, which will provide potential borrowers with a simplified, standardized borrower metric (similar to APR) for home mortgages. The HOME score will allow individuals to easily compare various mortgage products and understand the full cost of the loan.
Close Bankruptcy Loophole for Mortgage Companies: Obama will work to eliminate the provision that prevents bankruptcy courts from modifying an individual's mortgage payments. Obama believes that the subprime mortgage industry, which has engaged in dangerous and sometimes unscrupulous business practices, should not be shielded by outdated federal law.
Address Predatory Credit Card Practices
Obama will establish a five-star rating system so that every consumer knows the risk involved in every credit card. He also will establish a Credit Card Bill of Rights to stop credit card companies from exploiting consumers with unfair practices.
Create a Credit Card Rating System to Improve Disclosure: Obama will create a credit card rating system, modeled on five-star systems used for other consumer products, to provide consumers an easily identifiable ranking of credit cards, based on the card's features. Credit card companies will be required to display the rating on all application and contract materials, enabling consumers to quickly understand all of the major provisions of a credit card without having to rely exclusively on fine print in lengthy documents.
Establish a Credit Card Bill of Rights to Protect Consumers: Obama will create a Credit Card Bill of Rights to protect consumers. The Obama plan will:
Ban Unilateral Changes
Apply Interest Rate Increases Only to Future Debt
Prohibit Interest on Fees
Prohibit "Universal Defaults"
Require Prompt and Fair Crediting of Cardholder Payments
Reform Bankruptcy Laws
Obama will reform our bankruptcy laws to protect working people, ban executive bonuses for bankrupt companies, and require disclosure of all pension investments.
Cap Outlandish Interest Rates on Payday Loans and Improve Disclosure: Obama supports extending a 36 percent interest cap to all Americans. Obama will require lenders to provide clear and simplified information about loan fees, payments and penalties, which is why he'll require lenders to provide this information during the application process.
Encourage Responsible Lending Institutions to Make Small Consumer Loans: Obama will encourage banks, credit unions and Community Development Financial Institutions to provide affordable short-term and small-dollar loans and to drive unscrupulous lenders out of business.
Reform Bankruptcy Laws to Protect Families Facing a Medical Crisis: Obama will create an exemption in bankruptcy law for individuals who can prove they filed for bankruptcy because of medical expenses. This exemption will create a process that forgives the debt and lets the individuals get back on their feet.
Work/Family Balance
Obama will double funding for after-school programs, expand the Family Medical Leave Act, provide low-income families with a refundable tax credit to help with their child-care expenses, and encourage flexible work schedules.
Expand the Family and Medical Leave Act: The FMLA covers only certain employees of employers with 50 or more employees. Obama will expand it to cover businesses with 25 or more employees. He will expand the FMLA to cover more purposes as well, including allowing workers to take leave for elder care needs; allowing parents up to 24 hours of leave each year to participate in their children's academic activities; and expanding FMLA to cover leave for employees to address domestic violence.
Encourage States to Adopt Paid Leave: As president, Obama will initiate a strategy to encourage all 50 states to adopt paid-leave systems. Obama will provide a $1.5 billion fund to assist states with start-up costs and to help states offset the costs for employees and employers.
Expand High-Quality Afterschool Opportunities: Obama will double funding for the main federal support for afterschool programs, the 21st Century Learning Centers program, to serve a million more children. Obama will include measures to maximize performance and effectiveness across grantees nationwide.
Expand the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit: The Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit provides too little relief to families that struggle to afford child care expenses. Obama will reform the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit by making it refundable and allowing low-income families to receive up to a 50 percent credit for their child care expenses.
Protect Against Caregiver Discrimination: Workers with family obligations often are discriminated against in the workplace. Obama will enforce the recently-enacted Equal Employment Opportunity Commission guidelines on caregiver discrimination.
Expand Flexible Work Arrangements: Obama will create a program to inform businesses about the benefits of flexible work schedules; help businesses create flexible work opportunities; and increase federal incentives for telecommuting. Obama will also make the federal government a model employer in terms of adopting flexible work schedules and permitting employees to request flexible arrangements.
Barack Obama's Record
Housing: In the U.S. Senate, Obama introduced the STOP FRAUD Act to increase penalties for mortgage fraud and provide more protections for low-income homebuyers, well before the current subprime crisis began.
Predatory Lending: In the Illinois State Senate, Obama called attention to predatory lending issues. Obama sponsored legislation to combat predatory payday loans, and he also was credited with lobbying the state to more closely regulate some of the most egregious predatory lending practices.
American Jobs: Barack Obama introduced the Patriot Employer Act of 2007 to provide a tax credit to companies that maintain or increase the number of full-time workers in America relative to those outside the US; maintain their corporate headquarters in America; pay decent wages; prepare workers for retirement; provide health insurance; and support employees who serve in the military.
Go to http://www.barackobama.com for more information about the problems we face, and how President Barack Obama will solve them using his education, experience and judgment!
This is not another old , long time beauty contest . I't the presidency of the United States. I have to admit though she looks a lot better than the real Alaskans.
And as far a Macabe , if she knew who and what he is she might have too much class and not even talk to him. LOL
"Go to http://www.barackobama.com for more information about the problems we face, and how President Barack Obama will solve them using his education, experience and judgment!"
You're kidding, right? You honestly think he's gonna solve our problems with all that liberal crap he's spouting? I mean, you bought that? BAAAAAAAAAAAA....You sheep better get used to bending over if he does somehow manage to win.
Ms. Palin knows how to take down a moose. Sounds like she'll be able to handle a donkey just fine! LOL!!!!
McCain/Palin - YES!!!
@ September 14, 2008 12:45 PM
I would much rather put my support behind Barack Obama's rational plan of action than hope and pray for McBush/Praylin to reveal substantial steps for helping the United States of America regain its economic vitality. We can't afford a third term of more idiocracy. Enough is enough! Intelligent people understand this fascist plutocracy must end, and they will be voting for the DEMOCRATIC PARTY to change this country for the BETTER!!!
I have to ask. What is your perverted fixation with sheep? You do realize that beastiality is a crime in the United States. Are you, and your sick sense of humor, representative of all repugnant republicant's? If so, you've just given me one more reason to support righteous, respectable, reputable men such as Mr. Barack Obama & Joe Biden!
Furthermore, your statement, "Ms. Palin knows how to take down a moose. Sounds like she'll be able to handle a donkey just fine! LOL!!!!", is clearly indicative of a warped sense of right from wrong.
MRS. Palin's hunting activities are shameful. That photo of her kneeling next to the bloody animal after she gunned down that innocent animal should frighten the "BEJESUS" out of any compassionate, sentient human being. What makes that photo even more creepy is the smile on "Censorship Sarah's" face as her daughter stares into the camera with a look of horror and disbelief on her face. That child is going to need years of therapy! How sad for her.
Excuse my ignorance, but I'm curious, is killing defenseless animals considered quality family time for rednecks? How very bizarre?
And please don't try to present the ridiculous argument that she slaughtered that beautiful moose, a creation from God, in order to provide sustenance for her family. It's unbelievable. Killing should only be done out of necessity, not for sport. Anyone who gets a sick thrill out of needlessly taking a life (pre-meditative murder) should not be a heartbeat away from the highest office in this great land. A person of such questionable morality should be confined to prison and monitored very closely or at least given some shock treatment.
The time has come for change.
We need intelligent, compassionate, judicious leaders like BARACK OBAMA & JOE BIDEN making ALL of the country's important decisions WITH the American people over the next four to eight years.
We do NOT need a dirty old man and his beauty-queen-wannabe nobody DICTATING to "the American people" what they believe is "right" for us according to their own twisted idea of what God wants them to do. How scary is that thought? Eight years of that way of thinking is more than enough!
OBAMA/BIDEN! OBAMA/BIDEN! OBAMA/BIDEN! OBAMA/BIDEN! OBAMA/BIDEN! OBAMA/BIDEN! OBAMA/BIDEN! OBAMA/BIDEN! OBAMA/BIDEN! OBAMA/BIDEN! OBAMA/BIDEN! OBAMA/BIDEN! OBAMA/BIDEN! OBAMA/BIDEN! OBAMA/BIDEN!

Be careful, Mocabee will get you.
Gosh so many things to respond to! Let's see...
"What is your perverted fixation with sheep?"
It's an A-N-A-L-O-G-Y. You Obama followers don't think for yourselves, just going along with the rest of the herd - hence "sheep"...get it now?
"MRS. Palin's hunting activities are shameful"
Uh, why? Because she's a woman? As long as the meat doesn't go to waste, there's nothing "shameful" about it. Men have been doing it since the stone age.
"Excuse my ignorance, but I'm curious, is killing defenseless animals considered quality family time for rednecks? How very bizarre?"
I'll excuse your ignorance. The next time your little wifey stuffs a poor, defenseless turkey (one of God's beautiful creations) in the oven, remember that somebody had to kill it first, or did you think they died of natural causes? How very bizarre!
"We do NOT need a dirty old man and his beauty-queen-wannabe nobody DICTATING to "the American people" what they believe is "right" for us according to their own twisted idea of what God wants them to do. How scary is that thought? Eight years of that way of thinking is more than enough!"
Dirty old man? That's quite an accusation. What basis do you have for it?
DICTATING? Huh?
"How scary is that thought?"
Not anywhere near as scary as the thought of people (a.k.a. sheep) being totally hypnotized by a "skilled orator" with absolutely no skills or experience. Thank God the polls are showing that most of the voters want real and experienced leadership, not just the pretty words and empty promises of Barak Hussein Obama and Joe "the plagiarist" Biden.
McCAIN/Palin 2008' - THANK GOD!
3:54 Dish it out but can't take anothers opinion? If you can't take the heat get out of the kitchen you bobblehead !
Oh, thought you'd be interested to hear that Joe Biden got an F-grade in a class for boldly copying enormous chunks of someone else’s law review article.
Biden attempted to excuse the plagiarism by claiming it was a “mistake of youth.” He went before the school Deans and pleaded that they not expel him completely. He was allowed to retake the course and the cheating grade was later expunged from his record.
In response to the shocking revelation, Biden released all of his school transcripts including written evaluation by his teachers. The Syracuse transcripts revealed a candidate who had generally poor grades and only mixed reviews from his professors.
Apparently Biden has a history of supplementing his perceived failings by borrowing from others or simply exaggerating or lying. The final straw in his first presidential race was when he lied about the number of degrees he had received, the reason for his scholarship, and his graduating rank in class. Joe Biden was near the bottom of his class despite having that F-grade removed for plagiarism.
The voters will decide for themselves if Joe Biden is worthy of the VP office. The 1987/88 election run was a long time ago. I guess only some people choose to remember Joe Biden’s shame. And if the public can forgive Biden, they will have to decide if they want two copycats in the White House given a similar problem by Obama that was largely ignored by the press...and you're worried about Ms. Palin shooting a moose? Sounds to me like you've got much, much bigger problems than a dead moose!!! LMAO!!!!!
"Dish it out but can't take anothers opinion"
Sorry, was that your opinion? All I heard was BAA-BAA-BAA. LOL!!!!
Mocabee for mayor.
Macabre could't win a dog catchers job ,much less a Mayor. I didn't realize you clowns had a sense of humor!
I'm a little confused. Let me see if I have this straight.....
* If you grow up in Hawaii, raised by your grandparents, you're "exotic, different."
* Grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers, a quintessential American story.
* If your name is Barack you're a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.
* Name your kids Willow, Trig and Track, you're a maverick.
* Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable.
* Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you're well grounded.
* If you spend 3 years as a brilliant community organizer, become the first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter registration drive that registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law professor, spend 8
years as a State Senator representing a district with over 750,000 people, become chairman of the state Senate's Health and Human Services committee, spend 4 years in the United States Senate representing a state of 13 million people while
sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran's Affairs committees, you don't have any real leadership experience.
* If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000 people, 20 months as the governor of a state with only 650,000 people, then
you're qualified to become the country's second highest ranking executive.
* If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising 2 beautiful daughters, all within Protestant churches, you're not a real
Christian.
* If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and left your disfigured wife and married the heiress the next month, you're a Christian.
* If you teach children about sexual predators, you are irresponsible and eroding the fiber of society.
* If, while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with no other option in sex education in your state's school system while your
unwed teen daughter ends up pregnant, you're very responsible.
* If your wife is a Harvard graduate lawyer who gave up a position in a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city community, then gave that up to raise a family, your family's values
don't represent America's.
* If you're husband is nicknamed "First Dude", with at least one DWI conviction and no college education, who didn't register to vote until age 25 and once was a member of a group that hates America and advocated the secession of Alaska from the USA, your family is extremely admirable.
OK, much clearer now.
