Palin: continues to exploit troops

Today (Dec.2) is the runoff election in Georgia between Jim Martin(D) and Saxbe Chambliss(R). Today the Governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin, campaigned for Chambliss. Although it would be better if she would simply stay in Alaska and stop talking, watching the TV coverage of her appearances, I can't help but wonder if she will ever stop exploiting the troops for her own political purposes.

Sarah Palin: The guest who came to dinner and won't go home

Sarah Palin needs to shut up. Someone said she's like the guest who came to dinner and then won't leave.

The most interesting Palin question is who in the world is advising her or is she just making her own decisions? It would seem to me that whoever is advising her should be fired on the spot. Even if it's the first dude he should go - not as husband, if you look at the kids, he seems to be doing that job well - but she needs someone who will say: "Gov. shut-up. spend some time trying to shore-up your credentials, if you want to ever be taken seriously as a national political figure."

Personally I hope she gets a 2012 or 2016 nomination. She's the gift that keeps on giving.

McCain and Palin lie about Obama and Bill Ayers again

I was struck last night, Wednesday, when John McClone and Gov. Palin in their combined interview with NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams once again focused so much attention on Barak Obama and '60s radical Bill Ayers. Here's what Clone said:
People can make up their minds, as, again, I say about Mr. Ayers ... the full extent of the relationship with Senator Obama is not known,

And Senator Obama has not been forthcoming. He has not told the complete truth to the American people....
What in the world can this nonsense mean. On Oct. 10th the Annenberg Political Fact Check web site stated:
McCain cranks out some false and misleading attacks on Obama's connection to a 1960s radical.
Neither Clone nor Palin seem to be particularly bothered by the truth. But why do they keep harping on this? I can only conclude that they have nothing else to throw at Obama. It's clear that Obama has been completely forthcoming about serving on an education committee with Ayers. But Clone and Palin keep saying - as they did last night - "the full extent of the relationship with Senator Obama is not known." There is no question if Clone and Palin had any information we don't know they'd already have trumpeted it from the highest roof tops. So all they can do is try to cast aspersions that have no basis in fact

The whole Ayers tempest in a tea pot says far more about McCain and Palin then about Obama.

The new McCarthyism: McClone-Palin

Gov. Sarah Palin and her pals are reincarnating Wisconsin Sen. Joe McCarthy - one of history's most despicable demagogues. Many of us vividly remember the House UnAmerican Affairs Committee (HUAC) and Joe McCarthy's Senate Internal Security sub Committee. Well how much difference is there between "UnAmerican" and the McCain-Palin campaign's "anti-American?" I fully expect Palin to stand at a podium with a piece of paper in her hand and say: "I have here a list of the Communists who Obama will appoint to his administration."

Once you start lying, one lie piles up on top of another. This is at its base a CHARACTER question. Or as someone else said:
Oh what tangled webs we weave
When first we practive to deceive.


Check out their spokesperson Minn. Sen. Michelle Bachman: (If your seeing this on FaceBook, click here for video)

And the idiocies are piling up: North Carolina GOP Rep. Robin Hayes, said at a McCain rally on Saturday:
Liberals hate real Americans that work and achieve and believe in God.
Notice the McCarthyite theme: "Real Americans' vs. "Anti-Americans"

And then, of course, there's the old saw: "socialism." Here's what the Dallas Morning News reports:
With John McCain trailing Barack Obama ... his campaign has promoted the idea that his opponent's tax and health-care policies evoke socialism.

The claim was made after Mr. Obama remarked in Ohio last week that he wanted to 'spread the wealth around.'

But such comparisons to socialism gloss over important facts, analysts say.

Both Mr. McCain and his running mate, Sarah Palin, have criticized Mr. Obama's proposal to raise taxes on high earners and require that businesses provide health insurance. Ms. Palin referred to the plan as 'a little bit like socialism.'

Now McClone wants to postpone the VP debate: Scared?

The phony showboating of John McClone "suspending" his campaign is now being extended to "postponing" the upcoming (a week from Friday, Oct. 3) debate between the vice-presidential candidates. According to Nico Pitney on the Huffington Post:
John McCain's campaign now wants to suspend the VP debate?

CNN's Dana Bash reports that McCain officials are "trying to negotiate with the Obama campaign and the presidential debate commission" to change next Thursday's planned vice presidential debate into a McCain-Obama affair. The VP debate would be postponed to another date.

"That is what they are proposing," Bash reported. "[McCain officials] understand very well that both the Obama campaign and the debate commission have no intention of delaying Friday's debate, but...if there is no bailout deal by Friday, McCain has no plan to go to debate."
