Sour grapes. A response to David Plouffe's crying... er, I mean commentary.
In other words, the Obama campaign will fall into the trap of having the top of its ticket get into a debate with the bottom of the GOP ticket. |
Um, no. Obama's scarcely even mentioned her name - just look at his most recent ads and speeches. Campaign co-chair =/= top of the ticket.
| quote: | | In other words … Mom! Mom! Sister hit me back! After constantly referring to the governor as the “mayor of Wasilly“, Obama has no room to talk about negative and cynical. |
If you can find me a quote of anyone affiliated with the Obama campaign saying something about "the mayor of Wasilly" I'll give you a cookie.
| quote: | | Well, no, they mocked the notion that that experience somehow trumps being a mayor. |
Again, would you please cite the bull you spit out? Whoever brought community organizing into the debate about Sarah Palin. Your candidate is comparing her professional career to the first job Barack Obama got out of college... you don't see the absurdity in that, or you've just got your partisan blinders on?
| quote: | | You see, mayors get held accountable for their policies and their ability to remain in touch. Palin managed to do so well that she got re-elected, and then elected Governor. |
Though, to be fair, the city council nearly voted to hold a referendum on recall. Now that's an executive after the heart of the people.
| quote: | | By the way, which of the two has actually risked their career to reform the system to kick out-of-touch politicians out of the system? |
Ted Stevens and Sarah Palin... | quote: | | ...worked together since at least 2003, when Palin was a director on Stevens' independent fundraising group, Ted Stevens Excellence in Public Service Inc. In her unsuccessful campaign for lieutenant governor in 2002, she received about $4,500 in campaign donations from an oil firm involved in the Stevens scandal. Palin also filmed a commercial with Stevens in 2006 to demonstrate the senator's support of her gubernatorial campaign. New York Times op-ed columnist David Brooks wrote that Palin has since made "mortal enemies" of Alaska's senators, and Palin has kept her distance from Stevens since his indictment on felony charges of accepting illegal payments from an oil company. |
| quote: | | Barack Obama played along with the Daley machine in Chicago. Palin fought her own party to end corruption in Alaska. Which one is the friend of out-of-touch politicians? |
Haha, are you kidding me? See the above Stevens stuff.
| quote: | | You know, it’s funny, but nowhere in this e-mail does Plouffe (or his flunky who wrote this, more likely) |
Cute.
| quote: | | ever actually identify a single lie in either speech last night. |
He doesn't need to. There's an awful lot to choose from (again, google search "Obama + Lugar" - it's really not that hard. I trust you can do it if you try.
| quote: | | They complain about Giuliani and Palin making fun of Obama, which they certainly did, but never do they refute one factual statement they made. |
You're like a child, closing your eyes with your fingers in your ears and yelling, "Na Na Na Na Na I don't hear you!"
| quote: | | Plouffe et al just like calling Palin a liar — while their allies keep spinning myths about her political affiliation, the maternity of her last child, her marital fidelity, and her ability to manage her family. |
You're an idiot incapable of differentiating between a campaign and a blogger.
| quote: | | Mom! Mom! Sister hit me back … and she hits too hard for a girl! |
Oh, neat. You're a misogynist too.
| quote: | | *As for Rudi, where's the distortion? Obama DID only vote "present" intead of a yes or a no 130 times while in the state senate. |
Common practice in Illinois, even for your precious Republicans.
| quote: | | He was also 100% accurate saying Obama's never run a state, a city, a military unit and never had to lead people in crisis. |
And McCain... has?
| quote: | | It is 100% true that he is the least experienced politician to run for president in 100 years. |
Wrong.
| quote: | And he said "no legislation to really speak of" meaning if he did co-sponsor something with Coburn or Lugar, it wasn't anything major worth speaking about (one was a bill in the Secure Fence Act that supported a threat reduction concept to conventional weapons, and the other one authorized the establishment of a web search engine called usaspending.gov).
:stongue: |
Holy you're an idiot.
He passed the largest piece of reform legislation since Watergate.

That website, by the way? The one that tracks transparency in the legislative process to better illuminate earmarks?

Palin is directly in chrage of the Alaska Nation Guard... considered a military unit. |
| quote: | Palin has never ordered Alaska National Guard to do anything
By George Bryson, McClatchy Newspapers Wed Sep 3, 7:20 PM ET
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — When presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain introduced Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate last Friday, the Arizona senator emphasized her role as the commander in chief of the Alaska National Guard .
ADVERTISEMENT
Later, when questions were raised about Palin's lack of experience in national and international affairs, the McCain campaign pointed again to her military command experience as governor. Some reporters have tried to follow up.
"Can you tell me one decision that she made as commander in chief of the Alaska National Guard ?" CNN journalist Campbell Brown asked Monday while interviewing McCain campaign spokesman Tucker Bounds . "Just one?"
Bounds couldn't, because Palin has never personally ordered the state guard to do anything.
Instead, here's what he said: "Any decision she has made as the commander of the ( Alaska ) National Guard that's deployed overseas is more of a decision than Barack Obama's been making as he's been running for president for the last two years."
However, the governor has no command authority overseas or anywhere in the United States other than Alaska , said Maj. Gen. Craig Campbell , the service commander of the Alaska National Guard .
"When members of the National Guard are federalized, they work for the president," Campbell said Wednesday. "It's not just overseas. They could be federalized to go to other states or they could even be federalized in the state."
Occasions in which Palin retains command authority over the 4,200-member Alaska National Guard are whenever the Guard responds to in-state natural disasters and civic emergencies, said Campbell, who also serves as the commissioner of the state Department of Military and Veterans Affairs .
Some examples?
"We've deployed individuals in state service all over the state under Sarah Palin ," he said. "We had defense men down in Seward for the (Mount) Marathon run doing security.
"Out west and northwest we had erosion problems, and the National Guard was involved in some of the protection out there. About three days ago, the Army National Guard picked up a lady from Little Diomede (Island) . . . at the request of state troopers."
Did Palin directly approve each of those activities?
No, Campbell said. The governor has granted him the authority to act on his own in most cases, including life-or-death emergencies — when a quick response is required — and minor day-to-day operations.
"Some authorities have been given to me that she has acknowledged that I can execute," he said. "For others I have to ask her each time."
The recent decision to deploy a C-17 cargo plane from the Alaska Air National Guard to Louisiana to assist during the Hurricane Gustav response was an occasion in which Campbell briefed the governor's office and sought its approval, he said. Chief of Staff Mike Nizich signed off on it. |

Your continual insistance on insulting and name calling, while acting superior is supposed to show me up that YOU are the intelligent one? You are the one who can't handle criticism, and it's blatantly obvious by your bitter, angry responses. It's no wonder why you're a democrat... you hate criticism and lash out at others who don't agree with your pessimistic hate mongering. |
We can't help it that you don't read anything posted, Latin.
| quote: | | You personify the typical uninformed, ignorant angry and bitter democrat that sees the first bit of information he reads and runs with it. You sound like Joe Biden telling that reporter than he guarnateed he has a higher IQ than he does. I'll be happy to stack up my intellectual credentials with your sorry ass any day. |

It's all reactionary for me man. When certain people disagree with my political view, they toss out the words "stupid" and "unintelligent". They know absolutely nothing about my intellect or education, and base a comment on opinion. I know a person's intellect isn't solely reflected by a standardized test, just like it isn't based on someone's political views. I know who I am and what I've accomplished because of my intellect, not in spite of it, so when someone questions it based on no real evidence, I have no problem saying that I'll be happy to prove them wrong. |
Your "intellect" isn't a reflection of how much money you've spent on your formal education - it is embodied in the words you type and the ideas you convey.
Nobody gives a what you majored in. Back up your assertions with support. |

And I love how people bring up their degrees even if they're entirely irrelevant to the topic under discussion.
Uh, yeah, your knowledge of engineering or biology or quantum physics surely guarantees that you'll be informed when talking about the presidential campaign!

Seriously most people will never master elementary mathematics like basic calculus but does that mean they shouldn't be allowed to vote? |
