Obama and Palin Tie in Presidential Poll
http://www.frumforum.com/obama-and-palin-tie-in-presidential-poll
I would LOVE to see her as president.
It would validate everything I've been saying about the general level of
political intelligence in the USA for decades just for starters.
Remember when we said a moronic, senile, B movie actor would never get
elected - it would be just oo crazy even for the USA?
Well they've come a long way since then.
I think your wrong actually. It was *Mrs* Reagan who was the "real"
President you refer to so disaparagingly!

Perhaps if Barack Obama started to behave like a Democrat rather than a

No, since very few Americans knew who she was....that's not that

supporters.
A couple things here....."today"....the election isn't for over 2
years. If the economy is recovering, Obama has a good shot. If not, it
will depend upon who the GOP picks. Remember how ANY Rep could beat
Clinton in 96 or ANY Dem could beat Bush in 04?
Yes, he is. Barack Obama has said in recent days that he wants a U.S.
presence in Afghanistan for a long time. Yet, on the other hand, a poll of
Afghans in Kandahar and Helmand province.show that:
"75 percent believe foreigners disrespect their religion and traditions; 74
percent believe working with foreign forces is wrong; 68 percent believe
NATO forces do not protect them; and 65 percent believe the Taliban and its
leader, Mullah Mohammad Omar, should join the Afghan government."
http://www.afghanconflictmonitor.org/2010/07/nato-not-winning-afghan-hearts-and-minds-poll.html
Meantime, last week, 45 Afghan civilians, many of them women and children,
were killed by a NATO rocket attack. They were taking refuge in a mud house
to escape the fighting between the NATO led ISAF troops and the Taliban
insurgents.

That is a war crime.

An early release of the Netroots Nation straw poll taken from Thursday
through Sunday and obtained by TPM shows that attendees of the convention in
Las Vegas overwhelmingly want Palin to mount a presidential bid.
Respondents were asked who would they "most like to see" as the GOP nominee
to challenge Obama for reelection two years from now. Netroots attendees
preferred Sarah Palin, with 48 percent of them choosing her. The next
closest vote-getter was libertarian Rep. Ron Paul with 11 percent, followed
by former Sen. Rick Santorum with 10 percent and former Gov. Mitt Romney
with 9 percent...."

Gore got a lot of undeserved stick for that. He pretty exactly described how
his political intervention set the internet in motion, and he was misquoted
to make him seem foolish.
However, he did allow the airlines to buy him off to prevent the security
measures that would have stopped 911. He doesn't get stick for that because
they bought of republicans as well. So it evens up.

That's pretty much what my source said - which wasn't a Palinesque biased
viewpoint either. Gore was the man who had most influence in this case.
According to this source:
"The Gore Commission called for criminal background and FBI fingerprint
checks for all airport and airline workers who screen passengers for
weapons or have access to secure areas. The airlines industry had long
opposed mandatory criminal checks."
None of the 911 attackers were airport or airline workers, to say that
"Fat" Algore is responsible for 911 is a bit of a stretch.
Then we continue:
"Two of the commission members -- Victoria Cummock and Kathleen Flynn,
who lost loved ones in the terrorist attack on Flight 800 -- believe
that campaign contributions by the airline industry were a direct result
of Al Gore backing away from the commission's security recommendations.
Don't bet on the mainstream news media reminding Al Gore of this
flagrant example of homeland security taking a back-seat to campaign
cash the next time they quote one of his frequent fever-pitched rants."
Two commission members "believe"? Well that *does* it, case closed. And
notice the reference to "mainstream news media", we know what that
means. This "source" has an agenda, to plant bogus ideas into weak minds.
The Bush administration had been in power for almost eight months and
Bush himself ignored a briefing in August that stated plainly that the
attacks would happen. "Fat" Algore may be fat but the responsibility of
the attacks lies on Dubya and his mis-administration.
What exactly did he refuse to endorse that would've prevented 911?
Heck, the pieces were in place to stop 911 if everyone had been doing
their job. Okay, that's unfair....if the threat had been taken
seriously and we could've somehow gotten past business as usual among
our intelligence and security organizations. Ain't 20/20 hindsight
grand?
It's complicated.
It's do do with the age old question; Did the Flying Spaghetti Monster
create Man or did Man create the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
It's do do all right.
There are probably as many beliefs about Jesus as there are Christians.
Fairness is out the window when it comes to politics or public figures.
Gore got it.
Palin got it.
Obama (the Kenyanite) got it.
Mother Teresa was trashed.
The list is endless.
And the classic, in my estimation, was the treatment Bork got.
He or she who is in the public spotlight might as well accept the lies,
mistruths, and half truths.

Can someone please prove that Algore is fat?
No, the way it /should/ work is that you ask how it happened, and then you
say "pish" if the answer is unsatisfactory.
The White House Commission on Aviation Safety and Security was given to Gore
by Clinton as his job. It was popularly known as the "Gore Commission".
9/9/96 they put in a preliminary report with a number of recommendations.
September 19th Gore wrote to the president of the ATA. September 20th
onwards airlines gave a total of $585,000 to the Democrats, leading up to
the election. Come February 12th, the report came out, and all the
troublesome measures that the airlines didn't want were quietly put aside.
Commission member Victoria Cummock gave a vitriolic dissenting opinion (Her
husband died on Pan Am 103). Her opinion foreshadowed what the post-911
investigation found. So not wisdom after the fact.
The dismal affair is catalogued in "Predictable Surprises" by Bazerman and
Watkins. It also covers the Enron scandal and shows how the auditing system
failed.
There's a naive European view that the Republicans are the corrupt,
right-wing bad guys, and if only the shining knights of the Democrats were
in charge, things would go right. It shows considerable ignorance of how
things actually work.

It's well known that all the failures of the Bush administration were
really all Clinton's fault.
Burning faggots is a hate crime.
Whatever the truth about Mother Teresa, she was trashed because she was a
Catholic nun who upset rich Hindus with a vested interest in keeping the
bottom end of the caste system exactly where it was, and didn't like it
being pointed out that there were poor people in Calcutta.
