And furthermore, does America? I can taste the bile in my stomach because my RX benefits from GW's cheap student health insurance has run out to treat my acid reflux so Palin's commentary on ANYTHING does not help. . . ;)JanaBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11313705309681545191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23362051.post-79412974426801819802008-10-09T06:48:00.000-06:002008-10-09T06:48:00.000-06:00Ohhh I am dying to hear your latest take on "the p...Ohhh I am dying to hear your latest take on "the palin problem" now. She finally got "coached" enough that the repubs said "no more 'i can see Russia from my home' crap" ... <BR/><BR/>I think your take on her was very objective (I wasn't so nice on my blog.) <BR/><BR/>So less than 30 days to indecision '08? Give us more Ian. Even Cassandra's voting Obama, which I thought was a long shot, because he WILL raise their taxes (Danny and me? not so much falling into that $250,000 or more category right now...) <BR/><BR/>My ObamaMama t-shirt just came in the mail yesterday ...

David and I almost peed our pants we were laughing so hard. Thanks for letting me relive the funniness. <BR/><BR/>I enjoyed your thoughts on the subject. You are nice. I can't think of anything good to say when I think of Pain- I mean Palin. She creeps me out. Sometimes I wish my views weren't so one sided.Cicelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17698848507074446346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23362051.post-32974194619921052002008-09-11T09:51:00.000-06:002008-09-11T09:51:00.000-06:00On the Mitt point, I think that is part of the str...On the Mitt point, I think that is part of the struggle that is going on in the Republican party right now. It seems to be more of a loose coalition of fiscal/economic conservatives with the religious right. In order to compete over the last few elections, and especially with Obama's popularity right now, they have to try and buddy up. Not sure how I feel about it, but that is the case right now. We'll see if the Ron Paul Revolution can destroy two-party politics. ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08957488716027308873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23362051.post-54423533688838559852008-09-11T08:27:00.000-06:002008-09-11T08:27:00.000-06:00I didn't hear Mitt's speech, which is probably for...I didn't hear Mitt's speech, which is probably for the best. What a waste. He's so talented, and it makes me so mad that he's throwing everything away just to be liked by Christian conservatives, who will never fully accept him because of his religion.Ianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14400507435284742312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23362051.post-67976510018691799752008-09-10T08:22:00.000-06:002008-09-10T08:22:00.000-06:00Good thoughts, Ian.

I was so discouraged by his pandering to the religious right, a group that resolidified its control over the GOP when McCain selected Palin as his running mate, and a group that has proven over more than a century to be an enemy to the church. For as much as they call themselves Christians, their actions are anything but. Palin's rhetoric disgusts me. All the talk about how Obama is strong on oratory and weak on policy couldn't be more misplaced. I have never seen a candidate more willing to engage on the issues. It will be fun to watch Palin and Biden debate foreign policy.Jaymehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17067835821941301067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23362051.post-24363966158408938762008-09-09T19:51:00.000-06:002008-09-09T19:51:00.000-06:00Nice thoughts Ian.

His story is very interesting and it was cool to hear all those details that he has never really shared before. Its crazy that Palin has become so much more popular than McCain. Have you noticed that since the GOP convention that the only clips that we have seen of McCain have been of him standing in the background as Palin addresses the crowds. I think the Palin buzz will die as well. She needs to quit giving the same speech at every rally that she goes to.<BR/><BR/>Did you hear Mitt's speech? It made me want to puke. I love how Mitt, the multi millionaire, called Obama the elitist.Spencer Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03232528014520459415noreply@blogger.com
