It's clear Palin couldn't answer Laura's questions! She simply has no idea how to answer even softball questions lobbed by sympathetic questioners. The proof, in case you couldn't make it through her rambling, nonsensical answers, is that Laura had to repeat a question to get an answer! Palin can repeat campaign lines she's memorized, but take her out of that comfort zone, it is clear she has little ability to think.

He probably had to purchase the time to answer all the false allegations the smear campaign of McCain/Palin has made. Perhaps if the MSM didn't cover Governor Palin's every move and give credence by reporting her nonsense without any chance of questioning/challenging the validity of her claims, it wouldn't be necessary.

You won't see this on network news and certainly not Hannity and BillotheClown!

But if McCarthy-era guilt-by-association is once again a valid political consideration, Palin, it would seem, has more to lose than Obama. Palin, it could be argued, following her own logic, thinks so little of America's perfection that she continues to "pal around" with a man--her husband, actually--who only recently terminated his seven-year membership in the Alaskan Independence Party. Putting plunder above patriotism, the members of this treasonous cabal aim to break our country into pieces and walk away with Alaska's rich federal oil fields and one-fifth of America's land base--an area three-fourths the size of the Civil War Confederacy.

AIP's charter commits the party "to the ultimate independence of Alaska," from the United States which it refers to as "the colonial bureaucracy in Washington." It proclaims Alaska's 1959 induction as a state "as illegal and in violation of the United Nations charter and international law."

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.

Just like all the votes ACORN is pumping into Barack, you start to wonder just where did all that money came from for Obama? My guess is that when someone finally takes the time and audits the Obama donor lists they'll find a lot of the same fake names that ACORN is coming up with. I guess Obama is then depending on the media to cover that one up for him too.

He may just address the problems with the economy and what he wants to do about it. In any case, when Obama speaks directly to the American people, as he did with his wonderful talk on race relations, he will certainly make you look like a bumbling idiot.

McCain want to balance the budget by 2013.
The problem is he doesn't know yet how the deficit may looks like in 3 months.
Bush made the same promise to cut in half in 2004 election and where are we now?

He said he know how to fix the social security. And the solution is commission. Or he pledge to not raise tax how can he be open to a commission and not open to raise tax in order to fix the social security?

A lot has happened lately, My Man Barack is wipeing the floor with Uncle Fester each & everyday.

Living in Rural Kentucky, you'd think McCain has a lock on votes, however lately, i keep seeing Obama signs sprouting up as the leaves fall off the Tree's.I'm sure Mccain will still win Ky, but McConnel has a Fight on his hands. It seems as tho even us Rural folk's Know who Freddie & Fannie are. We also know who is to Blame for the current economic Crisis. JOHN McCAIN, COWBOY GEORGE, MITCH McCONNEL & the rest of the GOP, who in their infinite wisdom, gave Cowboy George EVERYTHING he asked for & then some.

America was Warned repeatedly that everything Cowboy George touched, Turned to Crap. Well, we're seeing the result's Now, unfortunatly.

Why McCain cannot win.

With McCain trying one strategy after another he seems confused as to why he is not getting ahead of the Presidential game. What he doesn’t understand is the deep lead OBama had before he even started the campaign. Whereas McCain relies on tried and true strategies and his gut instinct, Obama has been working the issues long ago creating strategies and counter strategies far in advance of needing them. Just look at his responses to ads where he can put up a counter ad on the same day as McCain tries to sling a little mud. I believe Obama and his straightest team have most or all of these scenarios already laid out to counter whatever McCain tries. McCain is being rope-a doaped. Richard Taylor

Talk about change/reform you can believe in coming from McCain/Palin. Yup,that's right repugs, you can't.
I'm so glad we have the Keating 5 out there for we the people to judge this lying, manipulative, un-convicted, likely Alzheimer's ( his memory IS impaired) criminal. I hope everyone sees the Maverick is really a desperado (bandit) wanting to occupy the White House.
As of yet the lying, leader of deregulation wants to blame the meltdown on Obama. Republican McCain has being doing this since the 1980's until the present. What's more he'll continue to rob this country, if elected

In 2001, Ayers published Fugitive Days: A Memoir. Ayers has not denied the quotes, but he protested the interviewer's characterizations in a Letter to the Editor published September 15, 2001: "This is not a question of being misunderstood or 'taken out of context', but of deliberate distortion.

In the ensuing years, Ayers has repeatedly avowed that when he said he had "no regrets" and that "we didn't do enough" he was speaking only in reference to his efforts to stop the United States from waging the Vietnam War, efforts which he has described as ". . . inadequate [as] the war dragged on for a decade."

Ayers has maintained that the two statements were not intended to imply a wish they had set more bombs.

Why can’t that stupid Hannity, Limbaugh, and Palin set the record straight?

OBAMA continues to show just how smart he is- this is a great way to use his "excess" funds. I am sure the Repigs will find a way to turn this (because McCain cannot afford it); however, we all know they are running scared now. Obama will talk directly to the nation, and put to rest any doubt McCain and his racist cronies have tried to instill.

The recent campaign stops where Palin, McCain and their cronies are trying to make people believe Barack is unAmerican, a terrorist, and a Muslim- while giggling joyfully as those in the crowd shout "he's a terrorist" or "kill him" is just beyond belief in this age. I am outraged that a campaign would sink to such a vile low!!! How unAmerican of the Repigs to allow/encourage others to shout such threatening things during a democratice process!! You may not agree with a candidate or someone's point of view, but no one should be allowed to make such outrageous statements, enciting riot like behavior, without being called on it. The Repigs, allowing this behavior, are below anyone who believes in Democracy and who is truly American. This country was founded in part to allow for differences, McCain/Palin are the lowest of the low. They should never hold another office again!!!

After the Keating clip it will be interesting to see where they go. It's a wise move and it is likely that the McCain camp is filling up their slury tanks for the final campaign days. I hated to see the need for the Keating clip but it was needed. The McBush campaign needs to know that if they want to continue down that road, there will something just around the bend waiting for them. The Obama campaign has seldom used negative ads but I am thrilled to see that they have been willing to use force when needed.
