The more she opens her mouth, the dumber, scarier, and ruder she

Isn't ANYONE on her staff checking her speeches beforehand?

Apparently no one is checking Biden and Obama before they open their
mouth either. We can play this game of "Who's more stupid" all day, and
I'll bet Biden and Obama would lose.
A couple of good ones from Biden:
Biden ran for president 20 years ago but had to abandon his campaign
when it was discovered that he had plagiarized speeches from a British
politician, substituting in key details to make the story his own.
Biden, referring to Sen. Obama: “I mean, you got the first mainstream
African American who is articulate and bright and clean and a
nice-looking guy.”
Last summer Biden attempted to endear himself to an Indian American
supporter by telling him that in Delaware, “you cannot go to a 7-Eleven
or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.” Not only
was this an offensive line, it didn’t even make any sense: The
observation, familiar to anybody who watched a comedian on cable
television 15 years ago, is that Indian Americans are the only ones who
work in convenience stores, not that they’re the only ones who shop
there. The man can’t even keep his condescending cliches straight.
Biden asked the wheelchair-bound Missouri politician Chuck Graham to
"stand up" at a rally.
And his harrowing helicopter ride when he was forced down in
Afghanistan. He always leaves out the fact that it was snow that forced
him down, not a military attack.
Or when he announced last week that President Roosevelt went on TV
following the stock market crash of 1929. The problem was FDR wasn’t
President and TV wasn’t available yet.
“We’re not supporting clean coal,” Biden said. “No coal plants here in
America.” The problem? Obama mentioned his support of clean coal in his
acceptance speech at the Democratic National convention.
Hezbollah - "When we kicked — along with France, we kicked Hezbollah out
of Lebanon, I said, and Barack said, ‘Move NATO forces in there. Fill
the vacuum, because if you don’t know — if you don’t, Hezbollah will
control it.” Reuters thinks he meant to refer to Syria, but it still
wouldn’t be accurate to say the U.S. kicked Syria out of Lebanon. The
Lebanese kicked Syria out of Lebanon.
Katie's Restaurant - "Look, all you have to do is go down Union Street
with me in Wilmington or go to Katie's Restaurant or walk into Home
Depot with me where I spend a lot of time and you ask anybody in there
whether or not the economic and foreign policy of this administration
has made them better off in the last eight years." According to this
Delaware site, Katie's Restaurant is no longer in business; locals
remember it on Union Street 25 to 30 years ago.
And now some good ones from Obama:
If we’re going to ask questions about, you know, who has been
promulgating negative ads that are completely unrelated to the issues at
hand, I think I win that contest pretty handily.” -
Obama on Good Morning America, 9/15/08
“Israel is a strong friend of Israel.”
Obama thinks we have 57 states. As president, he thinks he'll be
dealing with foreign countries for "8-10" years. He apparently doesn't
know that he is limited to two terms, not 2 1/2.
Here’s a whole bunch on YouTube:

Neither party is free from gaffes, but Palin seems to be the scariest

been discredited.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/03/say-it-aint-so-sarah-pali_n_131841.html
According to the recent V-P debate, she mentioned wanting to expand
the role of Vice President.

McCain is old, not in the best of health with recurrent melanoma.
Added to that, his mental acuity seems to be faltering if his actions
these last couple weeks are any indication. Can you honestly see
Palin running our country if anything happened to McCain?
Also, what's the status of the lawsuit up in Alaska? I wonder if
Palin is going to wink-wink her way out of that.

"Scary" seems to be an epidemic. Do you think switching "support" and
"help" is anywhere near as dumb as anything mentioned in my list?

I'm sure you're hoping she gets nailed. Is this the guy we're talking
about? He sounds like an excellent role model:
Troopers investigated 13 issues and found four in which Wooten (Palin's
ex-brother-in-law) violated policy or broke the law or both:
• Wooten used a Taser on his stepson.
• He illegally shot a moose.
• He drank beer in his patrol car on one occasion.
• He told others his father-in-law would “eat a f’ing lead bullet” if he
helped his daughter get an attorney for the divorce.
Beyond the investigation sparked by the family, trooper commanders saw
cause to discipline or give written instructions to correct Wooten seven
times since he joined the force in 2001, according to Grimes’ letter to
Wooten.
Those incidents included: a reprimand in January 2004 for negligent
damage to a state vehicle; a January 2005 instruction after being
accused of speeding, unsafe lane changes, following too closely and not
using turn signals in his state vehicle; a June 2005 instruction
regarding personal cell phone calls; an October 2005 suspension from
work after getting a speeding ticket; and a November 2005 memo “to
clarify duty hours, tardiness and personal business during duty time.”
Marsha/Ohio
So then Wooten is not being fired so TP takes it upon himself to stalk
OW and take pictures of him. He had a WC injury. When they couldn't
get him fired, they went after the WC company and threatened this
owner with loss of her contract if OW's case was not denied. It was
Denied. Then the WC company got their contract renewed, even though it
was a higher price than another bidder. Funny how those things happen.
Well fortunately or unfortunately how you look at it, there is taped
proof that TP coerced someone in the WC company and that person
testified truthfully. When the house of cards came tumbling down, now
the WC company owner has changed her testimony under oath and stated
that she was afraid of the repercussions of S and TP.
Still can't get him fired to take further action.
This woman is a vindictive bitch and she had better win because going
back to AK is not going to be pretty.
So try and make it all about the actions of the trooper, who should
have been fired. But he should have been fired while he was married to
SP's sister instead of covering up why the vindictive bitch tried to
have him fired only after he left her sister like a hot cake and went
back to his first wife.
Janice
If SP keeps digging a bigger hole, she will find out just how well she
is thought of in AK. If I was her, I would drop this business trying
to connect BO with Ayers. Her skeletons are bigger than BOs and she
knows it.
Janice
What facts are you setting straight? I didn't post anything that was
incorrect and I never said it was all about Wooten. In the zeal to bury
Palin, people seem to think Wooton is pure as snow, which is far from
reality. If someone threatened to kill a member of my family or tased a
child, I'd be after them until they were in jail. Palin is being
investigated for using undue influence, but that hasn't been resolved in
a court of law yet. Until it is, it's all innuendo and, IMO, not
everything is as crystal clear as you've noted.
Marsha/Ohio
We will have to see how the results pan out then won't we. You see
nothing wrong with her activities because you are making it about what
OW did. This all happened before she was tapped and I wonder if she
wasn't your VP running mate if you would feel differently about some
of the things that she has done in her very short career.
If you don't see it as crystal clear, then you haven't been keeping up
on the facts because this is no hidden agenda. The testimony of these
individuals is in the newspaper. Then the phone tapes are played, if
clips are up on on the sites, then you may sing a different tune.
But we as accepting of the spin as you want. It is not likely that she
will be the VP, but if she is, it would be terrible for our country if
she had to step down because of an indictment in AK. Smells of Agnew a
tad.
Do you have any problem with her husband being a card carrying member
of a separatist party and her slinging names at BO about Ayers? I
didn't think so because you think BO is the anti-Christ.
Time will tell on this one for sure.
Janice
Janice
> I don't see the difference in the words "support" and "help".
Huh? You're kidding, right? I can support someone without helping them
with their cause. I can also help someone without supporting them. I will
help a friend of mine who cheated on her husband and made a huge mess of
her life find a place to live, find childcare, etc. I am not supporting
her by any means. There is a HUGE difference in helping someone and
supporting them. I think that maybe Palin is counting on is people not
knowing the difference.
> I'm sure you're hoping she gets nailed. Is this the guy we're talking
> about? He sounds like an excellent role model:
But the "troopergate" scandal or whatever it is called isn't about WHAT he
did. It's about the possibility that SHE abused her power to discipline.
No matter what he did, if the proper procedures are not followed and
someone abuses power to punish them/fire them, etc., then THEY are JUST AS
GUILTY as the offender.
Thanks for getting that part Jeannie. I would have had more respect
for many posters, if they would have said, I cannot believe JM picked
SP, but I still have to vote for JM because I think that BO would be
worse. I have prayed to God that nothing happens to JM, and I can't
even think about something happening to him. But all of these people
defending SP and saying what a great VP she will be makes me crazy.
Most people on the newsgroup can hold their own intellectually. If
they really looked at this situation with open eyes there is no way
that they could say that this woman is the best that the Republicans
have to offer. It is not tit for tat.
Janice
Where did you get the idea that I see nothing wrong with her alleged
activities? If a court of law says she did something illegal, then I
will have a problem with it.

Again, if it's as crystal clear as you reported, I suspect she would
already be convicted. Are you pronouncing her guilty?

I don't think McCain will win. Obama has to win because, if he doesn't,
everyone will say it's because he's black and then all hell will break
loose.
> Do you have any problem with her husband being a card carrying member

See my response to Doug.
>and her slinging names at BO about Ayers?
Do you think Obama's relationship with Ayers is okay? How about Wright?
How about Reczko?
>I didn't think so because you think BO is the anti-Christ.
Not the anti-Christ. Just not good for the future of this country. I
don't want a president who will "talk" to terrorists, hoping they will
change. I don't want a president who voted against trying to save
aborted babies who were born alive. I don't want a president who will
tax to death people and businesses who earned their money just so he
could give it to deadbeats. I don't want socialism and/or communism. I
don't want a president who changes his mind about campaign
contributions, just so he could suck in more money. I don't want a
first lady who says she was never proud of her country until her husband
was nominated. I don't want a president who has for years had as his
mentor a racist radical pastor, etc. IMO, this all pales in comparison
to a VP running mate who supposedly misused her power to get a slimy
jerk who threatened a family member out of the police department.
McCain/Palin are not perfect by any means, but they are far, far better
than the alternative, IMO of course.
Marsha/Ohio
You called her a vindictive bitch twice, yet you defended her on another
forum? Interesting.

Right. But, as I replied to JM, I never said it was all about Wooten.
My post was only to remind people that, because of the zeal to get SP at
any cost, he is not anywhere near the saint people seem to think. When
and if she's convicted, that will be another story. Not that this
supposed crime would scar anyone for life, of course.
Marsha/Ohio
Marsha,
How is this a zeal to get SP? If JM would have stayed out of this and
if she
would have answered a few questions and even admitted it, it would all
be gone and no one would have spoken about it again.
It was when she was picked to be the VP, JM campaign went to Alaska
(claiming that they were BO by the way trying to dig up dirt on SP)
and make this into much more than it was. If there was no smoke. They
have already started the process to recall her AG.

I saw someone on Letterman, Brian Williams, I think - who is the news
anchor who has yet to interview Sarah Palin. He said something that
really clarified it for me. He talked about how on 9/11, it had been
decided that it was too dangerous for Air Force One to land, so they
kept Bush in the air for quite a while. Meanwhile, Cheney was at the
helm making all of these decisions while our country was under
attack. Does anyone think she is ready for that? I sure don't.
Even if the link proved that this "county" person said such things, it
doesn't mean that John McCain is racist, and Susan knows it.
A couple of those allegations aren't racist, anyway. Does Obama
support reparations (I don't know, but maybe he does)? And black
liberation theology is not some made-up racist term; it's the name of
the movement and theology espoused by Jeremiah White. James Cone
wrote extensively on the subject, and Obama used information from him
in one of his books. Soooo....not sure how it can be racist if he
really adheres to it.
Sandi
Unfortunately (and I say that because I believe Obama will probably
win this election), I wouldn't be comfortable with the other party's
PRESIDENTIAL candidate being in charge in that situation.
Sandi
Well I haven't been comfortable with the person in charge now for the
last 8 years, either.

I do not think SP is ready for that. However....I don't think BO is ready
for that either. Unfortunately, our choices are limited and I don't think
either ticket has a winning pair.
You cannot support someone without helping them in some way, even if it is
just a vote and no cash.
You cannot help your friend with supporting her and her choices.

Well, everyone is going to have their own definition I guess. I don't
agree with her and her actions but I will help her. I won't support in
financially or emotionally but will not shut her out.
Okay, maybe this is a better analogy.
There's a couple broken down on the side of the road, flat tire, whatever.
I stop to help them. They mention they are atheists, whatnot. I still
will help them. That doesn't mean I support their beliefs.
The point is really moot anyway - because a) Ms. Albright was misquoted
and b) because there was no indication Ms. Albright's statement was made
in a political context.

1. Wow, talk about a tempest in a teapot.
2. I looked at the actual Starbucks cup online. It does say "help,"
but I find it interesting that the cup actually exists and I'm
surprised people weren't accusing her of making it up.
3. Who knows what the context of this statement was?
4. Help/support....tomato/tomah-to.
5. If you think making that joke is scary, you must have checked your
sense of humor at the door. Do you really believe she was seriously
saying women who don't vote for her are going to hell?
Sandi
Oh, yeah, one more thing...(it's a slow work day for me, apparently):
Maybe the reason no one on her staff is checking her speeches

I second that. Remember how many candidates there were in the
