This is a false dichotomy. Just because other Republicans are corrupt and Sarah Palin took them on does not mean that Sarah Palin is not also corrupt. The two are not mutually exclusive. I don't know, it seems like any citizen who holds any government position can be fired by the whim of...

So in six years of Republican rule of the Senate, Congress, WhiteHouse and judiciary, the Democrats must have filibustered the poor Republicans on this. Perhaps you can point us all towards a bill number, because the one that started this thread died in a Republican committee. Okay, when...

Probably? I would say that his anger is pretty clear in its motivations, given that Obama ran against Alan Keyes in Illinois. Keyes is also black. So his claim that blacks are voting for Obama solely because he's black is quite absurd given that the black vote wasn't split at all. And then...

:) :) Only 23 US dead last month and a few hundred (reported) Iraqi dead last month. We are turning the corner, again. You mean, except for Wednesday when the US embassy in Yemen was attacked with two car bombs, mortars, infantry, multiple wounded, one guard and 13 school girls killed.

Letting the homeowners get thrown out on the streets isn't saving the nation. If the Republicans are addressing social concerns by giving investment houses a trillion dollars, then they should also be addressing social concerns at other levels too.

It's controversial to Republicans, and if they can't have it all, they'll block it. And so it's the Democrat's fault (somehow.)

So the Republicans are objecting to this (what you call "pork" -- I guess a trillion dollars in buying worthless securities is not "pork") and it's the Democrat's fault. Why?

Okay, and how is including homeowners a problem? Hell, the government is writing trillion dollar checks right now. Why would this slow things down?

That's what the communists say too. It's hard to argue with, since there's no such thing, and will never be such a thing as "true" capitalism. Every economy is a mixed economy.

Thomas Jefferson didn't say that. That quote is usually attributed to Barry Goldwater.

How is a mortgage rescue bill that includes homeowners "pork?"

Where do you get such nonsense? Here's a quote from the 1992 Republican platform: "LIBERATION THROUGH DEREGULATION -- . . . We support President Bush's freeze on new regulations. We applaud his Competitiveness Council, under Vice President Quayle, for fighting the regulatory mania, saving...

Certainly not McCain's long time association with a convicted terrorist fundraiser.

LOL. You're hanging your argument on THAT? Governor sends letters demanding resignation to librarians, and you're trying to argue that it's okay because (in your mind) it's not a firing? Okay, let's pretend that it wasn't a termination letter. How does that make it okay?

Yes, I agree with all of this. I agree with this. I'm not convinced that offshore drilling will be any panacea. In fact, I believe that this topic is a distraction from the real issue, which is the transition. If McCain wanted to make this the defining issue of the campaign I believe...

I'm sorry, you've failed. The Anchorage Daily News is not a primary source, such as a court document, testimony under oath, a verified email from someone familiar with the matter, or the image of the original documents. But you're improving, at least you're trying to document you word dicing...

Then you'd appreciate that a competent VP doesn't do public business with a Yahoo email account. Perhaps the machismo is to hide something...

McCain's Lobbyist Friends Rally 'Round Their Man McCain has 59 lobbyists raising money for his campaign, more than any of the other presidential candidates, according to the latest finding from government watchdog group Public Citizen. http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/story?id=4210251

Cite, please. I am aware that the son worked for a law firm that also does lobbying, but I'm especially interested in the 1.6 million figure that you've posted, unattributed. (Using this logic, that everybody is guilty because they're related, McCain has the drug addict thief base covered as...

In 2005. Out of 14 charges they found five Palin family charges had merit. (One of the charges was hunting moose without a licence, when his wife had the licence and they shared the meat with... wait for it... that's right, Sarah Palin.) Result: suspension. Except for his good...
