Sarah Palin is even more of an empty suit than John McCain.
The republican party as a whole is a joke. Anyone who votes this ticket, deserves exactly what they are going to get:

War, war, and more war

More corporate controlled government where bills and laws are past for their benefit and not for the best interest of the the tax-paying citizens.

More lies, deceit, and cover-ups, especially with the corporate controlled media.

The rich get richer at the expense of everyone else.

The economy will continue to suffer.

No health care reform

Tampering with Social Security, etc.

This country will continue to be despised around the globe.

But the hockey-mom and the senile-senior will be giddy with their new found power.

For starters, Laura Bush was in the Capitol Bldg. in DC when the planes first hit New York. Her life was in grave danger.

George HW & Barbara Bush were up in an airplane flying on the morning of Sept. 11th. Their lives were in grave danger, as no one knew exactly where these planes were headed.

The Pentagon? Well, it looks like fuselage in the Pentagon and pieces of airplane parts scattered all over. Did it have to be filmed? Is that the proof you need? Instead of physical evidence? If there was no plane, then what happened? Because people did die that morning.

Did Rumsfeld himself plan this? Afterall, he was in the Pentagon at the time.

Chuck cracks me up. But not as much as the notion that Palin or McCain have anything to offer my family or my town. I don't find her story "compelling"... I find it shocking that she is willing to take an already stressed family and make them manage without her while she takes her show on the road.

As for Ron Paul, he's providing a terrific side-show, but his impact remains to be seen. I'm more interested in how he and Bob Barr are polling in battleground states where 1-2% of the vote could make a real difference.

In her speech last night, Gov. Palin told the parents of special needs children they would have an advocate in the White House. That no doubt scored points with the voters but she didn’t say which areas of special needs children would be addressed or how. Has she studied the health care system proposed by Senator McCain? If Big Government isn’t going to cover special needs children then it will have to be Big Business since individuals will be responsible for finding and purchasing their own health insurance. It won’t be the responsibility of the Federal Government or the employers but cash-strapped states. I suppose that will be easier since the family will get $5000 a year in tax breaks to spend on health insurance, assuming that family makes enough money not to need the $4500 for other things, like food. We all know how well health insurance companies respond to the needs of their clients requiring long term health care and how excited they will become at the prospects of adding clients with pre-existing conditions, such as those of special needs children. GET REAL!
Would anyone else on here like to take up how the education of special needs children will be affected as the federal dollars continue to dry up as they have in the last eight years, and more programs for these special needs children are closed down because they have entirely lost the necessary funding?
How sad to use special needs children to wring a tear and a vote out of a gullible public.

And of course when MSNBC covers a Ron Paul rally they give footage to side protests already rejected by Ron Paul as not being something he believes.

However, there are too many of us, and we know what Ron Paul stands for, and we know when coverage is really an advertising campaign to marginalize him.

Excuse me to interupt these conversations, but has anyone noticed that the economy is melting down? The stockmarket crashed 350 points and the financial sector is very worried about a Soviet style economic meltdown for the U.S. We may look back on this day and say that while the press fussed about politics the U.S. economy collapsed.

Fell at near free-fall speed. How can you explain this. The footage they are referring to is from a gas station across from the Pentagon. The government took the tape, and WILL NOT release it. Why not??????

Also many eye-witnesses (i.e. those in towers that made it out alive) reported TWO explosions, FIRST one at the bottom, THEN the one at the top.

I dare you doubters to watch the movie Zeitgeist or Loose Change and then make up your OWN mind.

Has the Republican Party forgotten that the media are, and have been, known as the "fourth estate" ? One of the most precious things separating our republic from many (most?) other countries is a free and unfettered press...not exposing Sarah Palin to the probing questions of our media commentators ( like Chris Matthews) is an attempt to subvert the free press that is one of the major underpinnings of our democracy. Is this an harbinger of the type of open government the republican ticket will give us?

Michael R., Sacramento, CA — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 21:37:07 GMT

I would still like to believe that the reason there are so many conspiracy theorists for 9/11 is that they would rather believe we planned and executed the thing ourselves rather than be caught asleep at the wheel by a bunch of fanatics. At least if it was an inside job you could hopefully assume it would not happen again, but the real way we have to think everyday (because Bush tells us to) that it could happen again if we elect a democrat. Sad

Scripps Howard polls that 36% of the country agrees. So, maybe investigating instead of mocking is the correct course of action. People mocked for 10 years about Kennedy conspiracies...now the majority of the country doesn't believe in the lone gunman.

i'll only say this: The way the towers fell was not indicative of a building that had something collide with it, but of a controlled demolition.

jet fuel is highly improbable to reach heats required to melt concrete reinforced steel as has been told to the people. the physics don't match up.

sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction... plotted by our govt, no. used to their advantage when all of Israel's people were out of the country the day before, maybe...

I will say that it is rather odd that there is no footage of the strike on the pentagon. This is the literal nerve center of the entire United States military and we're to believe there are no security cameras whatsoever in the vicinity? That said, I believe there are valid questions that these people raise, but the problem is that they act like they have the answers as well. I will admit that I don't have the answers to many of the questions they ask, and they should be addressed, but I don't think it's a good idea to automatically assume the worst.

You complain about your boss not doing his job. You notice he's only working to fatten his pockets with big oil payoffs. He fights all the time with the smaller companies instead of the bigger company that has hurt him the most . Your have not received a raise and you may lose your job because the boss is now outsourcing the jobs. You are about to lose your home. The boss has so many houses he can't count them. The company you work for has not turned a profit in years and has low approval ratings. The boss distributes a company wide memo that reads " I really don't know much about the economy." The boss threatens to release the pitbull on if you keep WHINING. You have put up with his bullying ways for eight long years. Finally your work contract is ending with your boss. As you think about your family's future you ask yourself "Should I continue working for this creep or should I CHANGE employers? ".

It's that simple America. It's time for a change and YOU know it.

Conspiracy theories make good movies and books, but reality is more important. The reality is that Ron Paul was the only conservative candidate to choose from this election cycle, yet other so-called "conservatives" spurned him. It is sad that media outlets prefer to report sensationalism rather than facts. Only a small percentage of the 1.2 million that voted for Paul are kooks, yet they are the focus of every story. Sad, very sad.

After that crazy election I could just see him trying to figure out a way to unify the country under him. I knew from day one just how evil and bad this man was and nothing would really surprise me.

Of course, now that eight years have passed I know that he is not smart enough to pull something like that off.

Great. So "dozens" of 9-11 truthers are represented as "Ron Paul" supporters in this article which completely ignores the 10,000+ diverse Ron Paul supporters which gathered Monday for the "Rally for the Republic".

Furthermore, as a self-identified Ron Paul supporter with a day job, let me point out to Pat from Boston that re-focusing the search for Osama is something that only Ron Paul expressed concern for amongst the Republican candidates.

Ron Paul continues to be a 'voice of reason' -- even in the Republican party if they'll listen -- in our nation and yet, tragically, I keep seeing stories like this where his rationality is ignored in favor of focusing on the least coherent of fringe supporters. Certainly, Obama and McCain have 'less coherent, fringe' supporters . . . but we all seem to be willing to look past those since we're more likely to see them balanced with good reporting on what the candidates themselves have to say as well.
