Personally, I think Bush and McCain type elites intentionally sabotage their own chances/parties and thumb their noses at their base. The base is always held in a certain contempt (especially if we draw parallels with Christian history). By choosing an exaggerated davy crocket figure, elite McCain is mocking the base. Of course, base is oblivious. Bush made a similar gesture when he appointed his personal lawyer as Supreme Court Justice. At the very least, this is passive aggressive behavior at the very top, which is unusual for a society.

There is somthing else which happened during the Bush rule

It came to be identifie with White male rule. To break tihis image a woman has been selected so that the left does not have any argument. Even if the inexperience it is OK since they had to break the image of white male

I really want to see woman to get elected this election as VP or President. Gov. Sarah selection exposed liberal and especially liberal women. These liberals came out with worst form of attack. They are in shock that how a conservative woman can rise and can be Preisdent. Liberal elites are in shock that she had not attended Ivy league or was not in their cocktail party circles. She is out of beltway, that is shocker for DC elites.

She is smart woman, I am really eager to listen her in next two days.

QUOTEKristol on Sarah Palin, Hockey Mom
McCain aides whose judgment I trust are impressed by Sarah Palin. One was particularly amused by this exchange: A nervous young McCain staffer took it upon himself to explain to Palin the facts of life in a national campaign, the intense scrutiny she'd be under from the media, the viciousness of the assault that she'd be facing, etc.:

Palin: "Thanks for the warning. By the way, do you know what they say the difference is between a hockey mom and a Pit Bull?"

McCain aide: "No, Governor."

Palin: "A hockey mom wears lipstick."

QUOTEThe Politico has received an opposition research file from the Alaska Democrats. You can read it in PDF here. http://www.politico.com/static/PPM41_palin.html

In the file, the Democrats have released Sarah Palin's social security number minus the last four digits. Also tied to the information are her various home addresses.

Back in 2005, Democrats used Michael Steele's social security number to get his credit record.

It is atrocious that the Democrats would not only seek out Sarah Palin's social security number, but release it in opposition research to the press.

We need to know who did this. We also need to know what happened. We also need to know if it was used to bolster the Democrats' opposition research.

When it happened to Michael Steele, it turns out the Democrats knew about it and did nothing.

They cannot not take action now. QUOTEThey say crazy things like they owned 26 cars from 1994 until now - 10 of them were ATVs!!!! THEY LIVE IN ALASKA - THERE'S SNOW. The rest are cars save two listed as "Misc" which means they had 2 cars and turned them in every 2 years.
Here is Obama camp dirty work.
Now Politico had removed link.

Palin reignites culture wars QUOTEThe annual Pew Religion and Public Life Survey recently reported that after voters gauged how liberal McCain and Obama were, âthe average voter places themselves much closer to McCain than to Obama.â 
Forty-nine percent of Americans say their âmoral valuesâ are conservative, while only 20 percent say they are liberal. About half of voters, when asked to assess the moral values of the candidates, described Obama as liberal while nearly six in 10 said McCain was conservative.

Given the intensity of Palin support among conservatives, McCain may very well end up with greater flexibility than ever to make his own direct appeal to independent voters. Palin can keep social activists at ease â and excited â while McCain seeks to reclaim his maverick image with a more direct appeal to those Hillary Clinton supporters and undecided swing voters.

âIn the last 72 hours, the focus [of social conservatives] has sharpened not only because of Palinâs selection but the instinctive reaction of the left to her, that âshe is small town, what does she know; sheâs religious right, sheâs an extremist,'â said Bauer. âThey are eliminating any chance they had to switch some of theseâ traditionally Republican states to the Democrats.

Obama is regestering voters left and right and twice especially students. Students and parents who had registered twice to vote Obama twice should read this.
This was Obama attempt to win Virginia.

QUOTEhttp://www.insidehighered.com/news/2008/09/03/voting
Last week, Virginiaâs Montgomery County, home to Virginia Tech, issued a press release regarding proper protocol for college students registering to vote. In interviews with Inside Higher Ed Tuesday, it was described by turns as âunsubstantiated,â âchilling,â and (more generously) as not âincredibly encouraging or friendly.â

It reads, in part: âThe Code of Virginia states that a student must declare a legal residence in order to register. A legal residence can be either a studentâs permanent address from home or their current college residence. By making Montgomery County your permanent residence, you have declared your independence from your parents and can no longer be claimed as a dependent on their income tax filings â check with your tax professional. If you have a scholarship attached to your former residence, you could lose this funding. And, if you change your registration to Montgomery County, Virginia Code requires you to change your driverâs license and car registration to your present address within 30 days.â

The county registrar of elections said Tuesday that the memo was intended to counteract the absence of cautionary information given to students signed up through the ubiquitous get-out-the-vote registration drives. Generally speaking, however, those interviewed for this article said the warnings are, at worst, farfetched and misleading, or, at best, overstated and not typically supported in reality.

And, in a year in which historic youth voter turnout is anticipated, and the Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has been propelled by college studentsâ support, this case in the battleground state of Virginia is ânot an isolated incident,â said Sujatha Jahagirdar, program director for the Student Public Interest Research Groupâs nonpartisan New Voters Project.Â

QUOTEMontgomery County followed up its first dispatch with a somewhat more neutrally worded news release two days later, on August 27. This one raised similar issues but in the form of questions, which students were prompted to consider in deciding whether to register to vote where their family lives or where their college is.

Among them: âAre you claimed as a dependent on your parentsâ income tax return? If you are, then their address is probably your legal residence.... Do you have a scholarship that would be affected if you changed your legal residence?.. Would your health, automobile or other insurance coverage be affected by a change in your legal residence? If you are covered under your parentsâ insurance policy, your protection could be affected by a change in your legal residence.âÂ 

QUOTEIn an interview, E. Randall Wertz, the general registrar of elections for Montgomery County, cited the State Board of Electionâs guidance on college student registration as what he relied upon. He explained that, in sending the memo, he was attempting to combat either the misinformation, or lack of information, that college students have to consider when signing up through voter registration drives.

âWhatâs happening is theyâre going out across campus over here and just getting people to sign the registration forms left and right and not telling them issues to consider, or telling them the incorrect information,â said Wertz. âBefore they make the decision to register with us, they need to check with the accountant who does the taxes. They need to check if theyâre on their parentsâ health insurance. By being at a separate permanent address, does that affect their insurance?â

âI was just trying to inform them of things to consider, and then once theyâve made an informed decision and decide to come with us, we welcome them,â Wertz said.

âWe donât want to suppress them from voting and we certainly want them to vote. Itâs just, whatâs best for them is what they need to consider. Unfortunately, the campaigns, theyâre not concerned with whatâs best for the student. Theyâre generally concerned with just getting people signed up.â

From Tuesday through Friday of last week, voter registration drives at Virginia Tech brought more than 2,000 new registrations to the county, Wertz said. He also estimated that about 25 students have called to ask if the county could cancel the processing of their registration.Â

I had said about a week agoQUOTE(Viren @ Aug 29 2008, 01:16 PM)This race is over.
[right][snapback]87216[/snapback][/right]

Now comes the top GOP pundits and Reagan speech writers saying it's over:
Caught on tape: Peggy Noonan, Mike Murphy Caught On Tape Disparaging Palin Choice: "It's Over," "Political Bullshit," "Gimmicky"

Kids off limits right? Here's a quiz, guess who joked (later apologized to Clintons):
QUOTE"Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly?
Because her father is Janet Reno." 
Wait till this one hits the fan.

QUOTEFormer McCain adviser Mike Murphy and the Wall Street Journal's Peggy Noonan were caught on a hot mike today on MSNBC, giving their true feelings about Sarah Palin. Murphy said the pick's "not going to work," and Noonan said, "It's over."
QUOTEMurphy was fired from the McCain campaign and Noonan's a hack who hates any other woman who gets further in their career than she does.

they hate palin because she is not a washington insider
This is feedback from Clinton supporters

09-04-2008, 04:05 AM

I personally watched Murphy (on MSNBC) say after Hillary speech that 'Hillary's going to vote for McCain" and he put his name/reputation when Matthew egged him. Peggy Noonan's plagiarist but speaks for GOP on major shows.

Did you dig answer on that Chelsea joke?

09-04-2008, 06:02 AM

QUOTEDid you dig answer on that Chelsea joke?
They don't care because we have heard much worse, during PA victory speech MSNBC and CNN journalist were making jokes on her looks and other physical attribute, I will dig videos.

Actually, two things are happening since election started.
Initially, it was race and sexism during democrat primary, both were historical candidate. Obama was selected in 2004 and promoted by Kerry, Kennedy and Dean Group. They kicked out or sidelined Clinton centrist. During heated primary, Misogyny became a issue and it hit very hard to average woman. Funny thing happened, far-left feminist like Pelosi or Maureen who promote themselves for woman causes or got benefit themselves by beating or bashing men all along decided not to support Woman in primary and supported Black candidate because it is cool and will show them above all. I think this double standard had hit average woman who are trying hard to be treated equal.
Now when GOP opted for Woman candidate same far-left feminist are in shock because they had made woman right as business and it was far-left identity. Now its looks like GOP had stolen show. Misogyny is back and same players are doing, same group of bra burning woman and media. One good thing came out, far-left feminist are exposed. Now these feminist are saying Democrats womb are different than Republican. These feminist are just arm chair fanatics or parasite lives on other woman misery.
NOW, Emily and Norla are supporting Obama that I called hypocrisy. Same they did with Hillary. Only WomanPac and WomanSpeak are supporting Palin and came out against far-left feminist, these groups are formed during assault on Hillary.

Second thing we have to watch culture war now. Both tickets are historical tickets. Two months will be very long and destructive.

Have you noticed Orange Suit of Hillary or delgates with orange dress or Waving Orange scarf in GOP is a "the colour of Defiance". This is new female defiance, this is catching up, started by WomanspeakPAC.

It is the color of catholic christians

They could have taken liberties with Yellow (which is the color of catholics). Orange I think is color of Roundheads or some such protestant group from netherlands or Britain.
