America, which do you prefer to be passed - Karl Rove’s torch or JFK’s torch?

It appears that people who live in other parts of the country do not like people in the northeast. (Or so we’ve been told).They have been brainwashed into believing we are sinners, we are rich, we are TOO educated and we look down on everyone else.

I hope this election shows that none of this true. We are a progressive bunch for the most part. We are a large country and we are always searching for ways to be a united country. For all.

It is not always easy when the GOP is constantly telling middle America that “we” are unpatriotic because we don’t like war. That “we” are unkind to middle America because we want fairness for all Americans - all races, all religions.

Please understand. We send our kids to war. We go to church. We stress education. We stress hard work. We help out when tornadoes & hurricanes devastate our cities. We give to charities. We love sports. We are sometimes rude and arrogant because somewhere along the way materialism & competition took the place of knowing our neighbors & co-workers. This started during the Reagan years.

And now it is very expensive living here. But it’s where our roots are, so we stay put.

We love our country. We were brought up in the shadow of the American Revolution and we hold dear everything that was fought for so that we may be a country of our own, with our own values, our own laws, our own freedoms.

Getting a good education does not make us “elitists”. It just makes us more aware of what we can contribute to society so that we can ensure a better and brighter future for not only our children and their children, but for our country as well.

The GOP doesn’t understand any of this. That is why we are called “elitist”. It seems to me that it is we in the northeast who are looked down upon by the rest of the country.

The media for the most part live inside the beltway, away from every day hard working Americans. They do not tell the complete story of the manipulation that is going on with Karl Rove and Co. John McCain is now carrying that torch. Except for Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow, the rest of the media don’t see it, they don’t recognize it. They’re inside the bubble in DC. The presidential election will most likely have no effect on their lives. They are paid very well.

We up here prefer to see JFK’s torch passed along. You should as well. We all should.

Karl Rove & his gang want a cultural war. For themselves. For their own personal gain. Don’t let them succeed. They will once again desert you when this election is over. The GOP always does. They can’t govern. They can only smear and lie.

And once again they will blame the “elitists” for all their wrongdoing.

How many times are you going to show Sarah Palin giving her stump speech today? I can not believe you are doing this to the American people. You are not being fair. You guys are throwing this elections to the Republicans again. You should be ashamed!

matthew — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 19:44:19 GMT

Well I suppose the press will just take the McCain Campaign's word that the views expressed while she sat there listening to it does not reflect Palin's beliefs.

They just well might . . . because McCain said so.

I seem to remember a few months back when the Obama campaign said the SAME THING about a speech given when HE WASN'T THERE. And the campaign's assurances that Obama did not share the views of Wright . . . WAS NOT ENOUGH!!!

Chuck, Andrea and the rest of the MSM: Doesn't She have a PASTOR & CHURCH PROBLEM??

I expect, in the interest of fairness, wall to wall coverage with the McCain campaign peppered with questions about Palin's church every single campaign stop they make for the next month . . .!

But I'm not holding my breath; you practically IGNORED John McCain and his HAGEE et Al Pastor entourage, whom he ACTIVELY SOUGHT endorsements from, who made CRAZY, OFFENSIVE, STATEMENTS that left Wright in the dust just prior and AFTER they endorsed McCain! McCain to this day has NOT apologized to the citizens of New Orleans or the Catholic church for their rampages!

But I expect wall to wall coverage Chuck. You guys are fair . . . right?

All the same I think I keep my head above water so I breathe! I'll drown in the sea of DOUBLE STANDARDS!!

Did you read about that Alaskan National Guard General who just flip flopped 180 on Palin on Friday and got a promotion from her on Monday? She's a real reformer all right! They may act like that in Alaska but in the lower 48 we prefer to live by the law of the land.

Liberal media, don't even go here. Palin's church is evangelical and there is no greater friend to Israel today than the Christian evangelical church. Palin is a friend of Israel...end of story. If you want to find those who most threaten Isreal...just look at who most supports the United Nations whose policies have often been anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian. Democrats, much more than Republicans, are big UN supporters, even bordering on putting the UN's interests before the USA's interests.

The more I hear about this woman the more I wonder about what John Sydney McCain III was thinking when he picked her. Or DID he pick her? We all know he wanted Lieberman but the powers that be in the Republican party thrust her down his throat and now she's being thrust upon us as well. This was a gamble to try and siphon off some disaffected women simply because they have estrogen like Hillary. I was a Hillary supporter but this woman has nothing in common with what Hillary stood when she ran or stands for now. I will not be swayed by the pit bull in a skirt.

Come on Obama supporters -- show us the fools you really are. Let's hear you compare a "guest speaker" at Palin's church, to Obama's long-time PASTOR (who, he states in his book) was his spirtual advisor. Let's hear you compare one speech on a Sunday, to sitting in the pew for 20 YEARS!!!

“I believe that violence is the natural outcome of the human condition, that sin has blinded the whole world to the truth of God in Jesus Christ.”

Palin believes that getting right with God requires the infliction of violence in the Middle East.

I think her view of God is even worse than his.

Heather, WA — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 19:51:44 GMT

Why did she sit in the pews for 7 years knowing that her pastor supports the views of David Brickner and Jews for Jesus? As we learned from the months of reporting on Obama's former pastor and church that if you stay then you must agree with everything the pastor supports or visitors to the church! Oh wait, it's different because Palin's a Republicon, right?? What a bunch of HYPOCRITES!

Hey dummie, quit blaming God! If it's God's judgement then why are we bothering to defend ourselves? Shouldn't we just lay down and take it if the moslem extremist are only doing the work of the Lord? I'm sure they'll be happy to know that they have found something they can agree witht the infidels on.
