Don’t forget that Ronald Reagan gave millions of dollars worth of weapons to terrorists in exchange for a coulple of hostages, which he said he wouldn’t do, arms that were used to kill innocent people, probably some Americans.

As opposed to a war that is regarded as a failure by a large portion of the country and blew threw billions of dollars?

The comments about the DS baby either not being hers, or being hers and her putting the child at serious risk are an attack against Palin and nobody else.

I think EP got a “Jump to Conclusions” mat, republican edition. The difference between it and the standard model is, the rep version only has two squares “Praise republicans” and “Make up shit to bash Democrats about”

Umm, he whips out the P.O.W. card every chance he gets. Did you not see the clip from Leno? Here’s a rough paraphrasing.

Jay:(to McCain) For one million dollars, how many houses DO you own?

McCain: (Five minute diatribe about how he spent time in a hanoi POW camp and didn’t have a house or a kitchen table or any kind of table at all)

Look it up on Youtube, I’m sure it’s there somewhere.

Don’t forget that Obama ran the Chicago Annenberg Challenge together with his terrorist friend Bill Ayers. It blew through $110 million and was regarded as a failure by its sponsors.

Ok, executive experience, fine, I’ll cede that point. However, how much experience does she have in a position that influences national policies.

Now, I do not beleive either candidate is ordained by any deity, be it Yawheh, Bast, Freya, Shatki, Rhiannon, Odin, Oberon, or Zeus/Jupiter. But, as food for though, if you did have a deity supporting one party over the other, which party do you think would wind up having a hurricane flung at their national convention?

Jelly didn’t make any comments about any women. She made comments about a man. She accused him of being sexist, which I agree is probably the case. She didn’t say anything negative about Palin.
Should say “McCain/Tits 08″ because that is all she is to him.
That is a comment about an attitude, possibly held by McCain. It is not a slam against women.
I can’t think of any simpler way to explain this to you.

I have to agree the bipartisan system is very flawed. Not sure how we could really make the change though because people already have the idea that a 3rd party vote is half a vote for whoever you *don’t* want. You’d have to dissolve the Republican and Democrat parties and start from scratch to keep people from just voting it right back to two parties again.

In fact he did. Google the words “Obama threatens” and “Ayers ad” and you’ll find quite a long list of articles from both sides of the aisle saying that same thing. They’ll be slightly different on the details, but the basic fact runs through them all.

How you can say the connection is “thin” is beyond me. He says they’re friends. He’s worked with him on numerous occasions. I’d say that’s anything but thin. And it doesn’t matter if he was 8 when the guy did it. You don’t befriend people who bomb places and years later are still talking about how they wish they could go blow up some more places. Not exactly “A material” kinda people. I could elaborate more, but honestly if that one doesn’t jump out at you you’ll probably never get it.

McCain does not cry about people discussing his time as a POW. He hardly talks about it at all. Those that do are those (like myself) who feel it’s kinda low to question “what he told Charlie to receive such posh treatment” when everything that happened has been documented, and all the folks in the camp with him even vouch for his strength of character. Now as to whether it relates to executive experience, the fact that he was a POW doesn’t neccessarily by itself, but the fact that he was a Captain does, and his command of his troops in the situation does.

Hmm.. ok, I see what your saying. On the other hand, the South wasn’t thinking in terms of treason as they felt they were justified by the socio-economic polices being forced on them by the North.

They can actually be very mean and dangerous. When I lived in Alaska as a kid we would get them wandering in our neighborhood every once in awhile. All the adults would freak out and make sure we got in the house because they are so so big and you just don’t know what they are going to do if cornered.

Sorry, the act of succession was in fact treason. Why did our founding fathers hold onto the Declaration of Independance for two days? They knew that they were comitting treason, but decided to do so anyway, the difference? GW and the boys won, REL and the boys didn’t.

The Confederates did not attack Ft. Sumter until AFTER they ceded from the Union. Thus, it wasn’t really treason in that regard because the South already saw themselves as a seperate government (from the North’s perspective, yes it would be treason since the Confederates were not recognized as being seperate). You say it wasn’t based on slavery, but in fact it was since the slaves were the biggest part of the South’s economy.

Oh really? Why then does this administration support an interrogation method called waterboarding which the US Army outlawed as torture in 1902? Which unalienable rights are you willing to take away from someone… the Declaration does not restrict it comments to countries.

One of the more interesting subtleties of cold war is the extent to which it lacks any clear indicators of victory/defeat. ‘The USA is defeated’ could be true in some senses, less true in others.

Say what you want about me. I decided already I wasn’t going to waste any more time reacting to someone as deluded and hateful as Evil Pundit. I can admit when I am wrong, and while I feel a bit silly, given McCain’s previous bizarre and low brow campaign ads, I wouldn’t put anything past him. The negtaives in McCain campaign aren’t hard to find at all. Looking for the negatives and every little mistake is something both sides are guilty of.

Still more patient than I would have been. I’m of the opinion that people should go research themselves before ranting that Obama has no accomplishments. PortlandMark is more generous than me.
