"Inquiring " minds

If we've learned anything during the last eight years it should be that too powerful VPs' undermine the best intended effort of the Chief Executive.In choosing Sen.Biden , Sen.Obama sold out to the Establishment-but you will hear nary a nanobyte thanks to his pass from the Media ,who over- compensate for their incomplete vetting of then unknown "W ".Most recently , the non-coverage Sen. Edwards/Democrats "hush campaign".

I'm listening to Joe Biden

I believe Joe Biden when he previously said Obama is not ready to lead as President.

Course, now Joe is talking out of both sides of his mouth.

Biden proved that, like the average politician, he can be bought and sold for just a VP position!

Sarah Palin, a liability for the Republicans

After the appointment of Ms. Palin as the Republican VP candidate, with her rabid personal and political views, and her (at best) challenging personal life, I am changing my decision to vote for Mr. McCain in November.

More reasons for Joe Biden

The GOP has made a rash decision selecting this woman.The Joe Biden story is just so American plus his experience. I am certain that America will see the light. We are always hurt when special interest groups control our top office. The war, the economy, and the housing markets can all tell the the story when they fail to put people first.

my comments

Race and sex isn't a barrier to run for the White House. Class shouldn't be a barrier as well! Some people have thrown around words as "redneck" and "white trash" at Palin. If the voters are okay with "redneck" and "white trash" in the White House, then they can for McCain. If the voters are ashamed of "redneck" and "white trash" in the White House, then they can vote for Obama.

It seams that it rained on Republicans Parade

The problem is simple:

This woman, Can Not discipling, guide and educate her own family

How can we trust her with the VP of the United States?

Republicans are EXCELLENT talking about morals, what happened now?

besides that She don not have experience

She doesn't have the time to care for he own infant, how and where she will find the time that she needs to be a politician?

Two weeks ago she didn't have a clue about the VP Job. What happened now, there was a miracle, did she go to www.wikipedia.com and found what the VP job description.

Common, I love my mother, but just because I love her doesn't mean I gonna allow her to build a bridge, She don't have a clue about that and she'll screw up everything.

Lets leave the sympathy at side and use common sense

YES WE CAN "GOD BLESS OBAMA PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 2008-2016"

OBAMA’S DILEMMA AND CHRISTIAN HOLY WAR

AGAINST HERETICAL ABORTION

Government sanctioned child-sacrifice by women, Roe vs. Wade, is subversive to the traditional humane and Christian culture of the America People. This perverse legislation was instigated and popularized in America by defeated Marxist refugees, originating from Nazi Germany and Marxist Russia, notorious for their subversive contempt for Christianity, the nuclear family, patriotism, and the Constitution.

Along with the growing political shift towards the Christian pro-life movement, Obama is supporting Born Alive Infant Protection Act legislation, while continuing to pragmatically accept Roe vs. Wade. Not until the time that united Catholic, Protestant, and Mormon congregation leaders lead crusading battles against the condemned heretical supporters of pre-meditated murder by abortion, can Roe vs. Wade finally be politically overturned by the supreme will of Christian America.

In the wonderfully escalating Cultural War, the leading Neo-Con and Neo-Lib abortionists shall ultimately be destroyed by whatever Constitutional means necessary, for their notorious roles in causing the sacrificial killing of over 40 million American children.

The Juno Option

Land, Wallace, and the right-wing, anti-poor, anti-science "christian" sect think angle before facts. Bristol's lover is nothing like Juno's sweetie. Witness his recently removed MySpace profile as reported by the Miami Herald [abbreviated by me]:

"I'm a f--kin' redneck...I like to go camping and hang out with the boys, do some fishing, shoot some s--t and just f--kin' chillin' I guess. Ya f--k with me I'll kick ass."

Land's angle lies.

Furthermore, the Republican Syndicate can't have it both ways. They can't both use the private life of poor Bristol as a talking point AND insist that Democrats remain silent on the relevant family issues. Democrats must rise to say they fight the anti-scientific abstinence-only "education" which increases pregnancy rates and spreads HIV, work to counter the causes of male teenage violence, which include celebration of state violence, and eliminate obstacles to women's education, such as unplanned pregnancy.

In contrast, Richard Land works (or looks over his shoulder, boot-polishes the right boots, orders others around) to instate the ignorance, violence and wealth hierarchy of superstitious, chauvinistic, pseudo-christian, gangster culture.

Different standards

When teen pregnancies in general climb it's evidence of the decline of moral values. When one of those pregnancies is within the family of a conservative candidate the judgment seems very different.

It seems to me that the religious leaders who most frequently condemn such small indiscretions have rushed to the microphones to grant a pardon in this case and declare this a non-issue.

Most of us don't want this to be an issue. However, I'm uneasy that the political forces that have railed about teen pregnancy in the past are now using their clout to push it under the rug.

The New "Juno" Fad

I often tell my niece that abstinence is the best policy. When Jamie Lynn Spears became pregnant at 17, I blamed Hollywood. What am I supposed to tell her now? How do I say that abstinence is best when it is OK for the vice-president's daughter to get pregnant out of wedlock while the country fawns over her?
