ALASKA INDEPENDENCE PARTY - AIP's creation was inspired by the rabidly violent anti-Americanism of its founding father Joe Vogler, "I'm an Alaskan, not an American," reads a favorite Vogler quote on AIP's current website, "I've got no use for America or her damned institutions." According to Vogler AIP's central purpose was to drive Alaska's secession from the United States. Alaska, says current Chairwoman Lynette Clark, "should be an independent nation."
Vogler was murdered in 1993 during an illegal sale of plastic explosives that went bad. The prior year, he had renounced his allegiance to the United States explaining that, "The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government." He cursed the stars and stripes, promising, "I won't be buried under their damned flag...when Alaska is an independent nation they can bring my bones home." Palin has never denounced Vogler or his detestable anti-Americanism.
Palin's husband Todd remained an AIP party member from 1995 to 2002. Sarah can be described in McCarthy-era palaver as a "fellow traveler." While retaining her Republican registration, she attended the AIP's 1994 convention where the party called for a draft constitution to secede from the United States and create an independent nation of Alaska. The McCain Campaign has reluctantly acknowledged that she also attended AIP's 2000 Convention. She apparently found the experience so inspiring that she agreed to give a keynote address at the AIP's 2006 convention and she recorded a video greeting for this year's 2008 convention. In other words, this is not something that happened when she was eight!
So when Palin accuses Barack of "not seeing the same America as you and me," maybe she is referring to an America without Alaska. In any case, isn't it time the media start giving equal time to Palin's buddy list of anti-American bombers and other radical associates?

McCains Temper (according to Republicans)
These are Republicans commenting on McCains temper. And he DOES have a temper!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAyK-enrF1g
Here is an article explaining his vile temper in a Casino. Oh and by the way, McCain is a notorias gambler. He helped pass legislation for numerous Indian casinos across the United States. Over 400.

Tom Brokaw, Shame on You!
First off, I really have never cared for Tom Brokaw. I have always found his journalism to be biased journalism. Last night validated that. He seemed to be very partial to John McCain and rude to Obama.
McCain went past his two minutes, yet Tom Brokaw repremanded Obama for going over his time. Brokaw gave McCain the advantage by continuously asking McCain to answer the questions first. Brokaw hardly ever asked Obama to be the first to answer the question.
At one point, McCain had just finished answering a question, then a new question came to the platform. As Obama stood up to answer, assuming it was his turn this time, Tom looked right at him and turned to McCain and asked that he answer the question. He left Obama just standing there. Embarrassing him. Senator Obama handled it well. He showed the world just how presidential he is.
Funny too, just last week, the McCain camp, cried out to the media, how "Life is so unfair sometimes" referring to Gwen Ifil who moderated last weeks Veep debate. This all came about because of a book Gwen Ifil has written, which seems to favor Obama. So give me a break! Gwen did a terrific job asking great questions and showed no biasness what so ever. And here, last night was so obvious, that Brokaw favored McCain and even laughed at his jokes. He also made snide remarks in which McCain laughed with him on those.
Someone pointed out that after Obama had answered a question regarding health care, in the backround, McCain is shown signaling Tom Brokaw. Tom coincidently, switched gears and started up with a completely new question so to avoid McCain having to answer the health care question.
Lastly, after the debate, as both candidates were working the room, Senator Obama went to shake Senator McCains hand. John McCain looked right at him but did not even reach out to shake hands. So, Senator Obama with his hand still out, turned to Cindy McCain and shook her hand instead. It was then, McCain decided to reach out to shake, but the moment was gone. McCain tried to imply that Obama did not want to shake his hand. What was THAT about? Not very presidential in my opinion. McCain is no Maverick. He is no gentleman. McCain needs to leave.
NEXT DEBATE:

Staging: Candidates will be seated at a table
With foreign policy focus, Domestic and Economic policy

Union President Speaks about Racism and Obama
www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QIGJTHdH50
Cut and paste this to your browser. It is awesome!
Also, STAR JONES REYNOLDS responds to Bill O'Reilly/Fox News about Michelle Obama!
Below is Star Jones' informed and provocative response
to Bill O'Reilly's
comment about 'having a lynching party for Michelle
Obama if he finds
out that she truly has no pride in her country.'
Bill O'Reilly said: 'I don't want to go on a
lynching party against Michelle Obama
unless there's evidence, hard facts, that say this is
how the woman really feels.
If that's how she really feels - that is a bad country
or a flawed nation, whatever -
then that's legit. We'll track it down.'
Star said: 'I'm sick to death of people like Fox
News' Bill O'Reilly, and his stupid
and ignorant thinking that he can use a racial
slur again st a black woman who
could be the next First Lady of the United States , and
then give a half-assed
apology and not be taken to task and called on his crap.
What the hell is if it's
'legit,' you're going to 'track it
down?'
And then what do you plan to do? How dare this white man
with a
microphone and the trust of the public think that in 2008,
he can still
put the words 'lynch and party' together in the
same sentence with a
reference to a black woman; in this case, Michelle Obama? I
don't care
how you 'spin it' in the 'no spin zone,'
that statement in and of itself
is racist, unacceptable and inappropriate on every level.
O'Reilly claims his comments were taken out of context.
Please don't insult my intelligence while you're insulting
me. I've read the comments and hea rd them delivered in O'Reilly's
own voice; and there is no right context that exists. So, his insincere apology
and 'out-of-context' excuse is not going to cut it with me.
And just so we're clear, this has nothing to do with
the 2008 presidential election, me being a Democrat, him claiming to
be an Independent while talking like a Republican, the liberal
media or a conservative point of view. To the contrary, this is about
crossing a line in the sand that needs to be drawn based on history,
dignity, taste and truth.
Bill, I'm not sure of where you come from, but let me
tell you what
the phrase 'lynching party' conjures up to me, a
black woman born in
North Carolina ..
Those words depict the image of a group of white men who
are angry
with the state of their own lives getting together,
drinking more than they
need to drink, lamenting how some black person has moved
forward
(usually ahead of them in stature or dignity), and had the
audacity to
think that they are equal.
These same men for years, instead of looking at what
changes they should
and could make in their own lives that might remove that
bitterness born
of perceived privilege, these white men take all of that
resentment and
anger and decide to get together and drag the closest black
person near
them to their death by hanging them from a tree - usually
after violent
beating, torturing and violating their human dignity. Check
your history
books, because you don't need a masters or a law degree
from Harvard
to know that is what constitutes a 'lynching
party.'
Imagine, Michelle and Barack Obama having the audacity to
think that
they have the right to the American dream, hopes, and
ideals. O'Reilly
must think to himself: 'How dare they have the
arrogance to think they
can stand in front of this nation, challenge the status quo
and express
the frustration of millions?
When this happens, the first thing that comes to mind for
O'Reilly and
people like him is: 'it's time for a party.'
Not so fast...don't order the rope just yet.
Would O'Reilly ever in a million years use this phrase
with reference
to Elizabeth Edwards, Cindy McCain or Judi Nathan? I mean,
in all of the
statements and criticisms that were made about Judi Nathan,
the one-time
mistress turned missus, of former presidential candidate
Rudy Giuliani,
I never hear d any talk of forming a lynch party because of
something she
said or did.
So why is it that when you're referring to someone
who' s
African-American you must dig to a historical place of
pain, agony and
death to symbolize your feelings? Lynching is not a joke to
off-handedly
throw around and it is not a metaphor that has a place in
political
commentary; provocative or otherwise.
I admit that I come from a place of personal outrage here
having buried
my 90 year-old grandfather last year. This proud,
amazing African-
American man raised his family and lived through the time
when
he had to use separate water fountains, ride in the back of
a bus, take
his wife on a date to the 'colored section' of a
movie theater, and
avert his eyes when a white woman walked down the street
for fear of
what a white man and his cronies might do if they felt the
urge to
'party'; don't tell me that the phrase you
chose, Mr. O'Reilly, was
taken out of context.
To add insult to injury, O'Reilly tried to
'clarify' his statements, by
using the excuse that his comments were reminiscent of
Supreme Court
Justice Clarence Thomas' use of the term 'high-tech
lynching' during his
confirmation hearing. I reject that analogy. You see
Justice Thomas did
mean to bring up the image of lynching in its racist
context. He was
saying that politics and the media were using a new
technology to do to
him what had been done to black men for many years -- hang
him.
Regardless of if you agreed with Justice Thomas'
premise or not, if in
fact ---Bill O'Reilly was referencing i t the context
becomes even clearer.
What annoys me more than anything is that I get the feeling
that one of
the reasons Bill O'Reilly made this statement, thinking
he could get
away with it in the first place, and then followed it up
with a lame
apology in a half-hearted attempt to smooth any ruffled
feathers, is
because he doesn't think that black women will come out
and go after
him when he goes after us. Well, he's dead wrong. Be
clear Bill O'Reilly:
here will be no lynch party for that black woman.
And this black woman assures you that if you come for her,
you come for
all of us.'

ON THE SAME NOTE:
What if John McCain were a former president of the Harvard Law Review? What if Barack Obama finished fifth from the bottom of his graduating class?
What if McCain were still married to the only woman he married and 19 years.
What if Obama were the candidate who left dated another woman while still married, then left his wife, for that other woman?
What if Michelle Obama were a wife who not only became addicted to pain
killers, but acquired them illegally through her charitable organization? What if Cindy McCain graduated from Harvard?
What if Obama were a member of the Keating-5? What if McCain were a charismatic, eloquent speaker?
If these questions reflected reality, do you really believe the election numbers would be as close as they are?
This is what racism does. It covers up, rationalizes and minimizes positive qualities in one candidate and emphasizes negative qualities in another when there is a color difference.
Lets put it this way. You are The Boss. Which team would you hire?
With America facing historic debt, 2 wars, stumbling health care, a
weakened dollar, all-time high prison population, mortgage crises, bank
foreclosures, etc.

International Relations. Harvard - Juris Doctor (J.D.) Magna Cum Laude
Biden:

GOP have Voting Scams!
(this taken from huffingtonpost.com, Robert Kennedy Jr.)
Voters Disappearing from Rolls in Secret Purges Underway In At Least 19 StatesAt least 19 states are disregarding a federal law banning systematic voter purges within 90 days of a federal election. According to the U.S. Public Interest Research Group, massive purges of registered voters have occurred recently in Alabama, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, Texas and Washington.
In a rare display of interest in this issue by the mainstream media, the CBS Evening News recently ran a two-minute segment about the illegal voter purges and also noted some of the findings from a new study by the nonpartisan Brennan Center for Justice. The Brennan Center study documents several secret purges conducted this year, including 10,000 voters knocked off the rolls in Mississippi and another 21,000 purged in Louisiana, including areas hit hard by recent hurricanes. The purges happen in secret with no public accountability, and voters are not informed of their removal from the rolls, often finding out when they show up at the polls and are denied an official ballot. CBS interviewed an elderly New Jersey voter whose name was suddenly removed from the registration rolls after 30 years. While that voter's status was reinstated successfully, CBS notes that "come Election Day, don't count on thousands of others being as fortunate."
Voters can check their registration status and confirm their polling place here and here.

Joe Biden: You Won The Debate!
Watching tonight's debate was like watching Joseph Biden vs a high school candidate Sarah Palin. BINGO! I think I won that game. In the first 2 minutes.
Joe Biden. What a man. What a candidate! He was dignified and humble as well. He was intelligent, strong, polite, respectful, and first class all the way. Joe Biden could see right through Gov. Palin and did not even flinch. He was composed and very compassionate actually. It seems that Joe almost felt sorry for her, but gave her a lot of credit for being there, which was so respectful of him. This man is a leader. He has the experience, the intelligence, and integrity to lead this country along side Obama. He proved his true character tonight, and in front of the not only the United States, but the entire world. He is very clear and concise.
Now, speaking as woman, I am all for equal ground. I respect any women who can stand up in front of a nation and debate with intelligence without degrading others. I did not see this tonight. In this debate, Gov. Sarah Palin was a liar and she degraded both Senator Obama and Senator Biden. The debate seemed so ...... lopsided. Biden spoke truth. Palin lied to the American people as did Senator McCain who lied also in his first debate with Senator Obama.
Although it was quite refreshing to finally see her complete a sentence, it was not so impressive watching her fumble through a question, only to revert back to her own agenda.
Senator Biden spoke truth. On several occasions he said "let me repeat this again". He wanted to make things very clear to the American people so that they truly understood truth vs the lies that have been given by the opposing candidates. I admired him for that. He looked directly into the camera with confidence. I knew this man was honest and forthright.
We have all heard about his foreign policy expertise, but tonight, he proved it. But he proved even more. He Proved his knowledge and experience on all issues. His experience as a Senator for over 30 years, showed he is ready. He is ripe. He understands the average American. The working class. He stands for justice and fairness. He comes from good family values. This is the example we need in America.
She on the other hand was, ummm, very ......... cutsie. Darn right tootin she was. But, is that what we want? Is that how far we have come as Americans? Are we now a beer guzzlin, six-pack, cutsie kinda, moose-wolf-killin kinda society? When she could not answer a question, she focused back on her agenda. I have to admit, she was darn well cute explain'in things wasn't she? (wink). Well, I do not recall her giving a clear and concise answer to ANY of the questions. I found her to be well rehearsed, nervous, and with a fake conviction. She was annoying to be honest. I had to turn the volume down when she spoke.
Why did she refer to Ronald Reagan three times? McCain and Palin are making desperate efforts to dis-associate themselves from the Bush Administration. Thats why. McCain supported Bush legislation 90% of the time! And look where we are now? Thank you McCain.
This election should be a no-brainer.
McCain/Palin lie and they cheat. They will say anything to get elected. Well, you can fool some of the people some of the time. You can fool all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time. It is time for change. It is time for truth. It is time for the Obama-Biden ticket to lead this great country into leadership again. We need to believe in this country again. Let us elect the right candidates and gain back the respect we remember. Not only on a domestic level but globally as well.
So, thank you Joe Biden, for speaking the truth and representing America. Thank you for showing the class and grace tonight. Thank you for showing the good character it takes to lead this country with Barrack Obama. A country that has been charred by the Bush Administration for 8 years, and for showing your courage and knowledge on all issues. Thank you for speaking up against the Gov. of Alaska when you needed to, without insulting or belittling her. We love you! http://biden.senate.gov/senator/
Cheers to the moderator, Gwen Ifle of PBS. You did an excellent job tonight and your questions were fair and well thought out. They were concerns of all of us. Bless you.
Joe Biden. What a man. What a candidate! He was dignified and humble as well. He was intelligent, strong, polite, respectful, and first class all the way. Joe Biden could see right through Gov. Palin and did not even flinch. He was composed and very compassionate actually. It seems that Joe almost felt sorry for her, but gave her a lot of credit for being there, which was so respectful of him. This man is a leader. He has the experience, the intelligence, and integrity to lead this country along side Obama. He proved his true character tonight, and in front of the not only the United States, but the entire world. He is very clear and concise.
Now, speaking as woman, I am all for equal ground. I respect any women who can stand up in front of a nation and debate with intelligence without degrading others. I did not see this tonight. In this debate, Gov. Sarah Palin was a liar and she degraded both Senator Obama and Senator Biden. The debate seemed so ...... lopsided. Biden spoke truth. Palin lied to the American people as did Senator McCain who lied also in his first debate with Senator Obama.
Although it was quite refreshing to finally see her complete a sentence, it was not so impressive watching her fumble through a question, only to revert back to her own agenda.
Senator Biden spoke truth. On several occasions he said "let me repeat this again". He wanted to make things very clear to the American people so that they truly understood truth vs the lies that have been given by the opposing candidates. I admired him for that. He looked directly into the camera with confidence. I knew this man was honest and forthright.
We have all heard about his foreign policy expertise, but tonight, he proved it. But he proved even more. He Proved his knowledge and experience on all issues. His experience as a Senator for over 30 years, showed he is ready. He is ripe. He understands the average American. The working class. He stands for justice and fairness. He comes from good family values. This is the example we need in America.
She on the other hand was, ummm, very ......... cutsie. Darn right tootin she was. But, is that what we want? Is that how far we have come as Americans? Are we now a beer guzzlin, six-pack, cutsie kinda, moose-wolf-killin kinda society? When she could not answer a question, she focused back on her agenda. I have to admit, she was darn well cute explain'in things wasn't she? (wink). Well, I do not recall her giving a clear and concise answer to ANY of the questions. I found her to be well rehearsed, nervous, and with a fake conviction. She was annoying to be honest. I had to turn the volume down when she spoke.
Why did she refer to Ronald Reagan three times? McCain and Palin are making desperate efforts to dis-associate themselves from the Bush Administration. Thats why. McCain supported Bush legislation 90% of the time! And look where we are now? Thank you McCain.
This election should be a no-brainer.
McCain/Palin lie and they cheat. They will say anything to get elected. Well, you can fool some of the people some of the time. You can fool all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time. It is time for change. It is time for truth. It is time for the Obama-Biden ticket to lead this great country into leadership again. We need to believe in this country again. Let us elect the right candidates and gain back the respect we remember. Not only on a domestic level but globally as well.

What if McCain died, between now and Election?
(Ring Of Fire - Podcast) What is the political process if such an event would occur? It is a very good question given the fact that Senator McCain has had some very serious health issues. Although, his mother may be living a long life so far, this does not mean he will do the same given his health history and background.
With that said, here are three scenarios.
1. If something were to happen to him BEFORE the election, the Republican Party would be able to choose an new candidate. They do have the ability to move Palin up in this instance, but it would not be likely.
2. If something happens to him AFTER THE GENERAL ELECTION, BUT BEFORE THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE VOTES, the designated electors of the Republican Party are then released from their obligations, and then they can vote for anyone they want. For instance, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, or Carl Rove, which takes the voters completely out of the equation. These electors would have the sole power to elect the next president, out of a group of people that were not even on the ballot.
3. Once the electoral votes are radified, Palin would be promoted to the Presidency as stated in the 21st Amendment. (God help us should this happen)
Go to this site and see what Jack Cafferty has to say about Sarah Palin!

Lets just hope that Obama wins this election!! Then we will not have to worry about such details.

Missing Votes! GOP is behind 30 Scams!!
Please buy a copy of this months issue (Oct. 17th, 2008) of Rolling Stone Magazine.
There will be an article in Rolling Stone written by Robert F. Kennedy and Greg Palast regarding the Republican scams going on (30 scams) . These scams will prevent huge numbers of votes from being counted in this coming election based on an act that was presented by both Democrats and Republicans after the last election, but passed by a Republican Congress, Republican Senate, with a Republican President. This act is called "Help America Vote Act" or HAVA.
Now here is the problem. Because of HAVA, there have been 870,000 letters sent to New Jersey residents recently that tell residents that they are ineligible to vote. Why? Because their name went through a government database matching process called "Perfect Match" which means any registered voter who's name does not match any other government affiliation they may have on record, lets say, their drivers licence, or their social security name, their vote will be removed from the voter rolls. Disregarded and will actually be tossed out. For example if your name is Sally M. O'Rielly on your voter registration, and your drivers licence shows Sally O'Rielly (without the middle initial) your vote will be tossed out!! That goes with hie fens also. Something as simple as a hie fen missing from your name, can prevent your vote from being counted! This is a huge scam against Democrats especially when there are 12 million new registered voters this year.
Speaking of new registered voters: Most of these new registered voters are college students who may decide they want to vote absentee. Well, here is another Republican scam. If you mail in your ballot, one needs to also include a color photo copy of their drivers licence. No body knows this. If your color photo ID not included, that vote will be tossed. Of coarse there are NO INSTRUCTIONS explaining this. The main stream media does not report on this. So how is anyone going to know? Well, it is up to all of us to get the word out. Especially to all of the swing states!
New Jersey was lucky enough to receive a letter of warning that their vote will not count and will still have time to correct their name or address. Colorado is not so lucky. No letter was sent to the voters. Their vote will simply be tossed in the garbage and that person will never know.
Please view these two links, and be better informed of the truth.

Step Up to the Plate Bill Clinton!!
(sent from my friend Paula)
"A Note to Bill Clinton" by Paul Slansky (HuffPo)
Given that we would never have had the odious George W. Bush in the White House in the first place if it wasn't for your blow jobs, Bill, it seems obvious that you owe it to the people of this country, and especially to the parents whose kids died in the Iraq War that Gore would never have started, and to all the parents whose kids would be killed in the WarFest that would be a McCain/Palin -- sorry, Palin/McCain -- administration to do everything in your power to get Barack Obama elected.
But that's not what you're doing, Bill, and it's not going unnoticed. We see your rage, Bill, it's too huge to hide. We see that -- as Chris Rock so brilliantly pointed out -- it pains you to even speak Obama's name. We see you petulantly rooting against him even as you go through the motions of doing the barest minimum on his behalf to avoid being blamed if he loses.
You're not fooling anyone, Bill. You've gotten so caught up in yesterday that you've stopped thinking about tomorrow. You have the power to influence millions of voters and you're spitefully sitting on it. Surely you've noticed what's going on in the country. Surely you're aware of what's at stake on November 4th. This is not a game that you can afford to take your ball and go home with if you don't get to play the position you want. An Obama loss will most certainly be part of your legacy.
There's still time to fix it. How about this for an October surprise? Bill Clinton gets on the road and spends every day until the election sincerely and wholeheartedly communicating the urgency of electing Obama. You're the greatest politician of your generation, Bill. Surely you can fake enthusiasm for a month.
Oh, and stop talking about how much you like Senator McCain. Have you forgotten the vile joke he told a decade ago at your wife's and daughter's expense? Let me remind you: "Do you know why Chelsea Clinton is so ugly? She's the child of Janet Reno and Hillary Clinton." Are you saying, Bill, that you can forgive McCain for calling Chelsea "ugly" but you can't forgive Obama for defeating Hillary?
If Obama loses a close election -- one in which even one state where you could have made a difference goes for McCain because you sat home and pouted -- it will be on you. We will remember that you couldn't be bothered to rise above your petty resentments for something as trivial as saving your country from the enemies of everything you profess to believe in. We forgave you for Monica, Bill, but we won't forgive you for this.

Why Women Should Vote!
(my friend Sandy sent this to me)
This is the story of our Grandmothers and Great-grandmothers; they lived only 90 years ago. Remember, it was not until 1920 that women were granted the right to go to the polls and vote.
The women were innocent and defenseless, but they were jailed nonetheless for picketing the White House, carrying signs asking for the vote.
(Lucy Burns) And by the end of the night, they were barely alive. Forty prison guards wielding clubs and their warden's blessing went on a rampage against the 33 women wrongly convicted of 'obstructing sidewalk traffic.' They beat Lucy Burns, chained her hands to the cell bars above her head and left her hanging for the night, bleeding and gasping for air.
(Dora Lewis) They hurled Dora Lewis into a dark cell, smashed her head against an iron bed and knocked her out cold. Her cell mate, Alice Cosu, thought Lewis was dead and suffered a heart attack. Additional affidavits describe the guards grabbing, dragging, beating, choking, slamming, pinching, twisting and kicking the women. Thus unfolded the 'Night of Terror' on Nov. 15, 1917, when the warden at the Occoquan Workhouse in Virginia ordered his guards to teach a lesson to the suffragists imprisoned there because they dared to picket Woodrow Wilson's White House for the right to vote. For weeks, the women's only water came from an open pail. Their food--all of it colorless slop--was infested with worms.
(Alice Paul) When one of the leaders, Alice Paul, embarked on a hunger strike, they tied her to a chair, forced a tube down her throat and poured liquid into her until she vomited. She was tortured like this for weeks until word was smuggled out to the press. http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/collections/suffrage/nwp/prisoners.pdf
So, refresh my memory. Some women won't vote this year because--why, exactly? We have carpool duties? We have to get to work? Our vote doesn't matter? It's raining? I have the flue. Well, now is the time to ask you to request an ABSENTEE BALLOT'. Use it to your advantage.
Also, you may want to rent the 2004 movie 'Iron Jawed Angels.' It is a graphic depiction of the battle these women waged.
It is jarring to watch. Woodrow Wilson and his cronies try to persuade a psychiatrist to declare Alice Paul insane so that she could be permanently institutionalized. And it is inspiring to watch the doctor refuse. Alice Paul was strong, he said, and brave. That didn't make her crazy. The doctor admonished the men: 'Courage in women is often mistaken for insanity.' Please, if you are so inclined, pass this on to all the women you know. We need to get out and vote and use this right that was fought so hard for by these very courageous women. Whether you vote Democratic, Republican or Independent party - REMEMBER TO VOTE. History is being made.

Sarah Palin? Somebody Shoot me! (in the face)
I received this from my friend Helen. This is exactly how we all feel right? (well most of us)
Ok, I'm a little confused. Let me see if I have this straight.....
* If you grow up in Hawaii, raised by your grandparents, you're 'exotic, different.'
* Grow up in Alaska eating moose burgers, a quintessential American story.
* If your name is Barack you're a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.
* Name your kids Willow, Trig and Track, and you're a maverick.
* Graduate from Harvard law School and be President of the Law Review, and you are unstable.
* Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you're well grounded.
* If you spend 3 years as a community organizer, create a voter registration drive that registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law professor, spend 8 years as a State Senator representing a district with over 750,000 people, become chairman of the state Senate's Health and Human Services committee, spend 4 years in the United States Senate representing a state of 13 million people while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran's Affairs committees, you don't have any real leadership experience.
* If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000 people, 20 months as the governor of a state with only 650,000 people, then you're qualified to become the country's second highest ranking executive.
* If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising 2 beautiful daughters, all within Protestant churches, you're not a real Christian. * If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and left your disfigured wife and married the heiress the next month, you're a Christian.
* If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education, including the proper use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of society.
* If , while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with no other option in sex education in your state's school system while your unwed teen daughter ends up pregnant , you're very responsible.
* If your wife is a Harvard graduate lawyer who gave up a position in a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city community, then gave that up to raise a family, your family's values don't represent America's.
* If your husband is nicknamed 'First Dude', with at least one DUI conviction and no college education, who didn't register to vote until age 25 and once was a member of a group that advocated the secession of Alaska from the USA, your family is extremely admirable.
Oh! Ok, much clearer now. Thanks but........
no thanks.

Shameful Debate ABC!
I am becoming more and more antagonized by the pettiness and childish animosity that characterize our American primary politics. I began by loving Obama and respecting Mrs Clinton. While I still love Obama, I have become sickened by the spitefulness of the attacks on him. While I naturally hope that Obama will win, I find it sickening that he is being brought down so hard by Bill and Hillary. What a pair they are! Bloodless vampires motivated only by money, power and spite.
Because the Clintons have decided that they can't win, they are determined to make sure that Obama will not win. The ultimate loser is, of course, the United States. Not that the Clintons could give a damn.
But, obviously, the real story of the night was the crazy gauntlet of questioning ABC put Obama through. The first half of the debate felt like a 45-minute negative ad, reprising the most chewed over anti-Obama allegations (bittergate, Jeremiah Wright, patriotism) and even some relatively obscure ones (his vague association with former Weatherman radical Bill Ayers).
Chris Bowers at OpenLeft agreed, "Halfway through the debate, not a single question on any policy issue had been asked, it was obvious that this debate was prime-time hit job on Obama."
The blogs that have followed the debate since it was aired, have reflected emotional uproar about ABC and the hosts that have embarrassed Americans with questions such as George Stephanopoulos's : 'Does Jeremiah Wright love America as much as you?' Seriously. Because if he doesn't, then he cannot be your Secretary of Black that you obviously intend to make him."
If debates are to take place, lets get some credible journalists with questions that interest the American people. The concerns of the Economy, The "War" in Iraq, and Healthcare.
