A lot of people who don't vote, far from being uninformed or not caring, do so out of frustration with the candidates.
I think that the best way for them to vent their frustration is by a third party protest vote. However, not voting could be the next best thing. If the day comes when only 20% of eligible voters do so, idiots like Bush can't go around talking about a "mandate."
I have no doubt they can sway an election but I'm not convinced they can completely change the outcome of an overwhelming election. At any rate...I'll vote against the establishment's one party system and vote for Ron Paul, if he's on the ticket, or Chuck Baldwin if he's not.
Paul is my first choice if he's on the ballot...if not, Chuck gets the vote. I'm NOT an anti-semite, whatever that means, but I think we need to stop funding Israel, get the Zonists out of our government and let those in the mid-east fight their own wars. I also have some real interest in who Rev.2:9 & Rev.3:9 is referring to.
This is how Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin described Barack Obamas win over Hillary Clinton to political colleagues in a restaurant a few days after Obama locked up the Democratic Party presidential nomination.
According to Lucille, the waitress serving her table at the time and who asked that her last name not be used, Gov. Palin was eating lunch with five or six people when the subject of the Democrats primary battle came up. The governor, seemingly not caring that people at nearby tables would likely hear her, uttered the slur and then laughed loudly as her meal mates joined in appreciatively.
What Did Palin Say
So Sambo beat the bitch!
It was a direct jab at Obama beating Hillary Clinton....."
"...as long as there..remain active enemies of the Christian church, we may hope to become Master of the World...the future Jewish King will never reign in the world before Christianity is overthrown - B'nai B'rith speechhttp://www.biblebelievers.org.au/luther.htm / http://bible.cc/psalms/83-4.htm
true!...but the Klintons leave a long trail of bodies....and so do the Zionists. That poor waitress might have wanted to keep quiet, but Juneau is a small town, and the temptation to share in the hoopla might have been too much for her. Don't know which puppets the Zionists would prefer at this date, and don't much care. I just hope Lucille doesn't end up in the Channel for her indiscretion.

I hear you FNF, but I suspect our friend Destro is a somewhat 'new' American here to give us lessons on our government.
New to this forum or the USA? Or both? I have been in the USA and a citizen as long as I have been alive. Ex GOP party member to - disgusts me I violated Washington's final warning and joined a political party. Oh, wait am I not supposed to know that fact about American history either? GO METS!

I just saw Contessa Brewer come completely unhinged on MSNBC-TV. She lost all journalistic "integrity" and was combative, opinionated, and flat out rude in her defense of Obama. I thought I wasn't supposed to know anything about a reporters' personal politics unless they were clearly in an editorial segment of a program???

And they aren't showing the paper around rotten fish comment.
Shades of Dukakis.
Of course, with "rotten fish", another whole connotation.
All in all, he doesn't help his case with this comment.
The best defence seems to be is that it ain't much, get over it.
But that ignores the reality of perceptions, a dead giveaway being the full defence being employed by this comment, in addition to the race turning into Obama v Palin.
If she actually said this, it would have been all over the news by now and Mad Mac would be looking for a new running mate. Just gossip mill material, IMO. One thing the MSM does not tolerate in its puppet candidates is political incorrectness, humorous or not.
As you probably recall, Palin got applause at the Republican National Convention when she said that the only difference between a pit bull and a hockey mom (meaning herself) is that the latter wears lipstick. So, is she dissing herself here?
There is a double standard at work, and those who buy into a double standard and gimmicks over substance are going to vote the way they will whether or not such a bald attempt at a Swift boat slam dunk is attempted or not.
But I do think that this being such a clear case of false indignation will hurt McCain with swing voters. We differ on our take on this, but I have not wavered in the slightest bit in my confidence in Obama winning this race.
Nothing has happened that I didn't expect, and Obama has yet to suffer more then the usual scrapes and bumps all candidates suffer in such a race.

Obama's opponent is a guy who will continue the policies of a President with a 28% approval rating. If BHO were a halfway competent candidate, he'd be a shoe- in.
Anyone running against George W. Bush's third term ought to be ahead in the polls by wide double digits. Instead, Obummer and Mad Mac are in dead heat, with Mad Mac actually ahead in most polls. That doesn't say very much about Obama's candidacy.
wouldn't it be great though if we all stayed home en masse or do what LAC and many others are doing, vote third party. i know it's a pipe dream because there are too many who benefit monetarily, etc with the system in place.
It would be great to vote for a third party candidate. If we stay home, the lousy corrupt Constitutional hating twits will believe they have already won and will believe they have a mandate.
Vote third party or minority party and vote early and often. Screw these freaking control freaks. Simply ignoring will only embolden them. Let us take the Patrick Henry approach and pledge. " Give us liberty or we'll give you death".
(1) The corporate media, including 99 percent of the overpaid anchors, are for the GOP because of tax policy issues. They have a personal stake in not being taxed at higher rates plus their corporate bosses have even bigger stakes.
(2) Obama is still (half) black.

There's also
3) Talk about "HOPE...CHANGE...YES WE CAN" worked for his early pep rallies, but it wears really thin. Some of his supporters wanted to hear some policy substance, and there isn't any to be had.
To be more accurate he is half African. His ancestors are not linked to the Africans that arrived to the USA over generations.
That is the curious (neither good or bad) about Obama - he was an outsider all round. He was outsider even within the black community because he is a first generation African without any link to the African American with slave ancestors and the culture they produced. That is why it may seem he can move beyond Black politics - they really are not his people per say even though America's culture kind of pigeon holes him as part of the group - a group he adopted late in life to fit in.
I say this not in the way a Rush Limbough type would say it as in Obama adopted black Americans as his own for political purposes like this was planned from the get go. If Obama had grown up in South Africa under aparthied he would have adopted the culture of the 'coloreds' who were the mixed race groups in that system. Society always tries to force you into a group or role based on who you were born to and what you resemble.

When was the last time this ever happened? Since Kennedy ushered in the TV president - looks and personality are all that counts on the left and right for the vast majority of people. In fact any candidate left or right would be destroyed if he went into super detailed policy planks. The only ones that do that are considered kooks by the mainstream media like Ron Paul or Kuchinik (spelling??).

The blacks I've known who are actually from Africa usually don't have the attitude problems typical of American blacks. They don't generally play the victim card or use their race as an excuse for their lot in life, at least not to the degree that US blacks who learned to play the race card before they could walk.
Maybe South Africans are different, the ones I've met have been from Kenya or Nigeria.
without any link to the African American with slave ancestors
All the more puzzling his links with Wright.
He had no need to subscribe to the narrative of Black America.
Many African immigrants don't.
Yet he did. For political reasons, perhaps his wife's urgings.
What may have been smart in the wards of Chicago, then to win a Senate seat both locally and nationally and then the Dem primary has it's pitfalls with the greater electorate, particularly when Hillary held her fire.

Usually, the rich have to choose between their PC-liberal social views and their wallets.
That could be why the mass media likes Mad Mac so much, he supports PC causes like amnesty for illegal aliens, but also promises to give the rich their tax break.
He had no need to subscribe to the narrative of Black America.
Many African immigrants don't.
That is why I said he is an outsider in his own community, too. He is not an immigrant but son of an immigrant who left him.
Wright is more than likely his wife's choice for a preacher in church. Like many families - women control the religious aspects of the household. Do you think Palin's religous views are the same as her husband's? The guy seems to go along to get along in that house. Even then, I have a low threshold of respect for American Protestant churches and find the white right wing churches the other side of the same coin. White right wing churches routinely say God is damning America - see Katrina and 9/11 for more recent examples.

Obama spoke an absolutely coherent paragraph, comparing W's policies to McCain's. The conclusion being that there was no difference between them, concluding that McCain was attempting to present his policies as something different than W's but all that he was doing was putting lipstick on a pig. It had NOTHING to do with Palin. Palin was not mentioned within that context.
If the McCain people believe it was about Palin maybe it's THEIR dirty minds and this is how THEY see Palin.
I already said this at the top
"Was she talking about Obama's pig comment. I kind of doubt it."
