if you say the word black, you are a racist.

Let's wait and see.

Much more likely to be simply non-record profits, no?

But maybe I'm projecting.

;)

...and I see no hope, but;

tax cutter - raised oil taxes
(Gave money back to citizens)

for bridge to no where - against bridge to no where
(Once she learned the details, she said no thanks)

for Alaska's succession - against Alaska succession
(We all grow up)

for abstinence only - won't talk to own daughter about sex
(Ignorant comment you should be ashamed of)

all supporters do not speak for their candidate and are therefore not to be held responsible.

Imagine the Republican response to someone speaking in the same tone about your newest up an comer, Sarah Palin, as the room explodes in laughter, "How do we beat the bitch".

Get back to me when you feel like being honest about how your side would react.

Instead he laughed and slapped his head.

Gotta keep those checks rollin' in.

Although this:

"The base doesn't love McCain. The liberals don't fully trust Obama but both groups will vote their side."

pretty much says it in a nutshell, here's one liberal who won't be voting for either side. I'll probably just go and write in my own candidate(s) at the polls come November. Regardless of what anybody says, at least that's doing something.

in attacking Jamie Lynn Spears' teen pregnancy and how it was a product of her dysfunctional family, blah, blah, blah.

But Bristol Palin is heroic.

War is peace. Up is down. We have never been at war with Eurasia.

come out looking very good. Full post is here . Cliff notes (hard to cut any of it down but here goes):

During her mayoral administration most of the actual work of running this small city was turned over to an administrator. She had been pushed to hire this administrator by party power-brokers after she had
gotten herself into some trouble over precipitous firings which had given rise to a recall campaign.
Sarah campaigned in Wasilla as a "fiscal conservative". During her 6 years as Mayor, she increased general government expenditures by over 33%. During those same 6 years the amount of taxes collected by the
City increased by 38%. This was during a period of low inflation (1996-2002). She reduced progressive property taxes and increased a regressive sales tax which taxed even food. The tax cuts that she promoted benefited large corporate property owners way more than they
benefited residents.

The huge increases in tax revenues during her mayoral administration weren't enough to fund everything on her wish list though, borrowed money was needed, too. She inherited a city with zero debt, but left it with indebtedness of over $22 million. What did Mayor Palin encourage the voters to borrow money for? Was it the infrastructure that she said
she supported? The sewage treatment plant that the city lacked? or a new library? No. $1m for a park. $15m-plus for construction of a multi-use sports complex which she rushed through to build on a piece of property that the City didn't even have clear title to, that was still in litigation 7 yrs later--to the delight of the lawyers involved! The sports complex itself is a nice addition to the community but a huge money pit, not the profit-generator she claimed it
would be. She also supported bonds for $5.5m for road projects that could have been done in 5-7 yrs without any borrowing. While Mayor, City Hall was extensively remodeled and her office redecorated more than once.

In this time of record state revenues and budget surpluses, she recommended that the state borrow/bond for road projects, even while
she proposed distribution of surplus state revenues: spend today's surplus, borrow for needs.

She's not very tolerant of divergent opinions or open to outside ideas or compromise. As Mayor, she fought ideas that weren't generated by
her or her staff. Ideas weren't evaluated on their merits, but on the basis of who proposed them.

Sarah complained about the "old boy's club" when she first ran for Mayor, so what did she bring Wasilla? A new set of "old boys". Palin fired most of the experienced staff she inherited. At the City and as Governor she hired or elevated new, inexperienced, obscure people, creating a staff totally dependent on her for their jobs and eternally grateful and fiercely loyal--loyal to the point of abusing their power
to further her personal agenda, as she has acknowledged happened in the case of pressuring the State's top cop.

Sounds to me like a 3rd bush43 Administration through and through.
