Okay, forget study. I'm going for my 102 laps now. Do page me if anything interesting happens while I'm in the nude and wet.
Antiparty - find out why, think about 'how'
Don't choke on the kool-aid, lod. Pinging JD.
More silliness. Bet your bottom dollar Webb told Obama early on that he could accomplish more in the Senate (with which I thoroughly agree). Jim Webb woulda been my pick. Obama too would have loved it. Whatever weaknesses you may perceive in Obie, lack of confidence ain't one.

She's a better looking woman than most contemporary Hollywood Celebs. How long until I see someone on Boston TV slyly hinting that's she's too pretty, using the old sexist argument about the incompatability of beauty and brains......and that someone on TV will be prolly be a woman from the Boston area!
Yeah, he exceeded every bar stoolers dream of marrying a nymphomaniac that owns a liquor store. He even got a hundred million thrown in and dumped a crippled wife in the bargain.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsOJStsGB5U&feature=related There is bombshell in the commissioner controversy: after weeks of denying she, or anyone from her office, pressured former Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan to fire state trooper Michael Wooten, Wednesday, Governor Sarah Palin had to backtrack
MY REPLY TO ZEITGEIST: 1John Chapter 2: "21 I write to you not because you do not know the truth but because you do, and because every lie is alien to the truth. 22 Who is the liar? Whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Whoever denies the Father and the Son, this is the antichrist." She seems like a 'real' person who has succeeded at everything she's attempted and who has earned everything by her own abilities, personality, and skills. I'll be cutting up the McCain/Palin signs and reversing the order so no one is confused about who I'm really voting for.

http://www.adn.com/iraq/story/220586.html Palin's son leaves for Army boot camp TRACK: Governor supports enlistment "for the right reasons." By STEVE QUINN The Associated Press Published: September 19th, 2007 06:57 AM Last Modified: September 19th, 2007 05:47 PM JUNEAU -- Gov. Sarah Palin's son, Track, left on Tuesday for infantry boot camp in Fort Benning, Ga. The 18-year-old enlisted last week on the sixth anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Track is the oldest of Palin's four children and her only son. "I support my son's independence, and I am proud of his decision because he made it for the right reasons -- to serve his country," Palin said. In July, Palin went to Kuwait where she visited the Alaska Army National Guard's 3rd Battalion, 297th Infantry, a unit that is made up of about 575 Alaska men and women. She said she wanted an up-close look at the sacrifices made by Alaska-based troops in the Middle East so she accepted the offer of a two-day tour sponsored by the U.S. Department of Defense. Ultimately, it may have been a closer look at what awaits Track. Palin said she has come to terms with the idea that Track could be deployed next year to Iraq, Kuwait or Afghanistan, where thousands of U.S. troops are based. Last week President Bush approved a gradual reduction of U.S. forces, which stand at the highest level of the war, about 168,000 troops. "With this quasi draw down, there may be shorter deployments, which is encouraging for Track; in fact, that's encouraging for all of our troops," Palin said. "But more likely than not, Track will end up in the Middle East." Since her son enlisted, Palin said, she has received several e-mails from women whose sons or daughters have either enlisted or are serving overseas. ADVERTISEMENT While proud of their children's decision to enlist, they have not lost sight of the prospects of losing a loved one in the war. "I certainly have thought about it; the mixed emotions we all feel will be something that binds us together," Palin said. "But we don't regret that our son or daughter has made this decision." Track Palin joins Wasilla High classmate John Bates at Fort Benning. The Palin family threw the teens a party on Sunday evening. Palin said the party was not a farewell, but a thank you for the young men's commitment to serve. "We want the boys to know that we support them and we've got their backs," Palin said.

Whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Whoever denies the Father and the Son, this is the antichrist." She is beautiful, smart, talented, honest, a Christian, and someone who would restore some honor to the office of v.p. Lord knows it needs it. I was at the event. She seems like a nice woman. Very pretty. I have some close up photos I will be sharing later. 10ft from her. Farther from McCain.
Palin has since given birth to a second son, who has Down's. She had amnio and knew that her fetus was affected with Down's but chose not to abort.
Very nicely done - looking forward to seeing them.

She is beautiful, smart, talented, honest, a Christian, and someone who would restore some honor to the office of v.p. Lord knows it needs it. Also as swarthy pointed out - and from the perspective of McCain's campaign management - Palin's husband is a fisherman and union activist, so Palin on McCain's ticket may eat into Obama's union bloc voter base.
You are the one that told me that I should re arrange my sock drawer instead of going though. :)
I think she's gonna shine in the debates with Biden. Wasn't going to watch her speech, expected boilerplate, but did and came away impressed, she is a very, very good speaker. Obie should be happy he doesn't have to debate her.
Public Safety Commissioner dismissal controversy Governor Palin is currently under investigation by an independent investigator hired by a legislative panel to determine if she abused her power when firing Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan. [47][48] On July 11, 2008, Palin dismissed Walter Monegan as Commissioner of Public Safety and instead offered him a position as executive director of the state Alcoholic Beverage Control Board, which he subsequently turned down.[49][50] The Commisioner serves at the will of the governor, so her right to fire him is not in dispute; but Monegan alleged shortly after his dismissal that it may have been partly due to his reluctance to fire an Alaska State Trooper, Mike Wooten, who had been involved in a divorce and child custody battle with Palin's sister, Molly McCann.[51] In 2006, before Palin was governor, Wooten was briefly suspended for ten days for threatening to kill McCann's (and Palin's) father, tasering his 11-year-old stepson (at the stepson's request), and violating game laws. After a union protest, the suspension was reduced to five days.[52] Palin replaced Monegan with Chuck Kopp, who had previously been removed from supervision of an employee he had allegedly sexually harassed. [53] Palin knew of Kopp's alleged sexual harassment before she appointed Kopp. [54] Palin asserted that her dismissal of Monegan was unrelated to the fact that he had not fired Wooten, and asserts that Monegan was instead dismissed for not adequately filling state trooper vacancies, and because he "did not turn out to be a team player on budgeting issues."[55] Palin acknowledged that a member of her administration, Frank Bailey, did contact the Department of Public Safety regarding Wooten, but both Palin and Bailey say that happened without her knowledge and was unrelated to her dismissal of Monegan.[55] Bailey was put on leave for two months for acting outside the scope of his authority as the Director of Boards and Commissions. Commissioner Monegan received no severance pay, though at the same time another dismissed Commissioner, Charles Kopp (who served only 11 days) received $10,000.[56] In response to Palin's statement that she had nothing to hide, in August 2008 the Alaska Legislature hired Steve Branchflower to investigate Palin and her staff for possible abuse of power surrounding the dismissal. The investigation is being overseen by Democratic State Senator Hollis French, who says that the Palin administration has been cooperating and thus subpoenas are unnecessary.[57] The Palin administration itself was the first to release an audiotape of Bailey making inquiries about the status of the Wooten investigation.[55][58]

That was when I believed that the basset hound was going to be selected... Was she well-received at the event?
A nation of idiots, ruled by tyrants.
I am not saying this qualifies her to be president. This merely demonstrates she is A genuine Pro lifer.
She was very well received. The place was completely packed. Lots of cheering for her. I even saw her sign someones cell phone.
She's quite hot compared to Hillary Klinton and all the wives of the other p/vp candidates. She's gun-totin' feminine and a NORMAL conservative White mother of five. Our only hope is that McCain's heart seizes some time like next February and Palin, the only remaining "wild card," can step up to the plate and focus on "majority rule." www.usmagazine.com/news/s...up-in-1984-beauty-contest Gov. Sarah Palin Was Second Choice in '84 Beauty Contest Friday August 29, 2008 Sarah Palin, runner-up, Miss Alaska, 1984: ..."Governor Palin is a tough executive who has demonstrated during her time in office that she is ready to be president," the McCain campaign said in a statement Friday. "Governor Palin has the record of reform and bipartisanship that others can only speak of. Her experience in shaking up the status quo is exactly what is needed in Washington today."
It's Great to be White!
Sheesh, as if it isn't bad enough having a forum infested with Obama supporters.
Great news - thanks. Now to find a McKook voo-doo doll.

Now I just have to find out how to get these off my phone and on the computer.
I don't have a phone, so I'm no help here...I don't even have a digital camera.
A nation of idiots, ruled by tyrants.
Yeah, this time even I got that tingling in the leg.
I apologize for my previous anti-Palin remarks. She's a knockout, screw her politics.
tee hee, JT - now you're talking like a red blooded American male voter who has no dog in this Presidential race so why not go with your gut instinct? Hey I'm NOT knocking your reasoning - indeed, Palin being a woman and a gorgeous woman at that is one of the several assets I said Palin would bring to McCain's ticket - she would appeal to undecided male and female voters - Palin was scrapper's VP pick long before Palin was even an idea in McCain's thick head.
Anyone know what her stand on illegal aliens is?
I have no problem with her because I know very little about her. So far, the only thing I have a problem with is her accepting McCain's offer. I mean... would she agree to be the next Pope if the cardinals offered her the job?
Antiparty - find out why, think about 'how'
LOL - on CNN: Blitz - Is Sarah Palin ready to take over the job of commander in chief if McCain kicks the bucket? Lindsey Graham - Sure!
Antiparty - find out why, think about 'how'
That and Izzies are two question marks here.
A nation of idiots, ruled by tyrants.
You really don't want to get in a discussion, do you, with lamestream 'merikans over what is and isn't experience that can be used/useful in the Oral Office.......I know I wouldn't. I think it was terribly dumb of the pow-hater to pick her. I was nearly yelling at my Mom when she told me who he had picked; I was ranting about the pow-hater losing any 'high ground' he had to stand on as it relates to calling BO 'light in the loafers'. Oh well......AlGore had it right back in the early 90s====which should be up is down and what is down should be up! Or backwards and forwards==no, wait, maybe side to side. Oh hell, never mind, I'll look on his internet and see if I can/could/will/won't/or frankly don't give a shit find his ramblings.
This fits with my opinion as well. That barrel of rotten apples does NOT produce good fresh, firm apples.
McCain's team would never pick anybody who isn't on board with Amnesty for illegals, Israel, and the "war on terror".
Truthfully, she could walk on water and I wouldn't be voting for her because of the pow-hater who straddles the top of the ticket.
Has RonPaul commented on her selection yet?
A nation of idiots, ruled by tyrants.
Like I said on the other thread, a VP pick usually means nothing, they have no real power except in the case of Cheney, who was chosen by Papa Bush and the GOP to be Junior's handler. So McCain could have picked Ron Paul and it would have made no difference (except for the fact that I'd be disappointed with Ron Paul for accepting). PNAC's man is still the one in charge.
I don't know who selected her, but so far, I'm glad that they did.
A nation of idiots, ruled by tyrants.
From wiki......with a lot of 'junk' just cut out to make this as short as possible......as it regards 'lack of experience': "After four years in New York City, Obama moved to Chicago to work as a community organizer for three years from June 1985 to May 1988 as director of the Developing Communities Project (DCP), a church-based community organization originally comprising eight Catholic parishes in Greater Roseland (Roseland, West Pullman, and Riverdale) on Chicago's far South Side. [11][13] During his three years as the DCP's director, its staff grew from 1 to 13 and its annual budget grew from $70,000 to $400,000, with accomplishments including helping set up a job training program, a college preparatory tutoring program, and a tenants' rights organization in Altgeld Gardens.[14] Obama also worked as a consultant and instructor for the Gamaliel Foundation, a community organizing institute. WHOA! HERE BE A WHOLE NEW CAN OF WORMS MAYBE: GAMALIEL WAS THE JEWISH RABBI/SCRIBE THAT PAUL, THE APOSTLE TRAINED UNDER.[15] Obama entered Harvard Law School in late 1988 and at the end of his first year was selected as an editor of the Harvard Law Review based on his grades and a writing competition.[17] In his second year he was elected president of the Law Review, a full-time volunteer position functioning as editor-in- chief and supervising the law review's staff of 80 editors.[18] Obama directed Illinois Project Vote from April to October 1992, a voter registration drive with a staff of 10 and 700 volunteers that achieved its goal of registering 150,000 of 400,000 unregistered African Americans in the state, leading Crain's Chicago Business to name Obama to its 1993 list of "40 under Forty" powers to be.[21][22] In 1993 Obama joined Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland, a 12-attorney law firm specializing in civil rights litigation and neighborhood economic development, where he was an associate for three years from 1993 to 1996, then of counsel from 1996 to 2004, with his law license becoming inactive in 2002.[11][24] Obama was a founding member of the board of directors of Public Allies in 1992, resigning before his wife, Michelle, became the founding executive director of Public Allies Chicago in early 1993.[11][25] He served on the board of directors of the Woods Fund of Chicago, which in 1985 had been the first foundation to fund Obama's DCP, from 1993–2002, and served on the board of directors of The Joyce Foundation from 1994–2002.[11] Obama served on the board of directors of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge from 1995–2002, as founding president and chairman of the board of directors from 1995–1999.[11] He also served on the board of directors of the Chicago Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, the Center for Neighborhood Technology, and the Lugenia Burns Hope Center".
And un-American to the core.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. William Ayers served with Obama on the board of the Woods Fund.
