Horseshit!!!
Author: Raine

The McCain Campain is dedicated to getting Tina Faye back to SNL. Actually, I think they have been hired to write for them. --- And saving Katie Couric's Career.
Yes. This is TOTALLY the kind of publicity Palin needs! Totally. Otherwise we would forget about Sarah Palin. More Sarah. We need to know MORE about Sarah. Like this:
It's actually a brilliant Strategy for the McCain campaign. At this point... if Sarah remembers her name on Thursday many people will be happy. Sarah has been in the public spotlight for a month now and if I cared to, I would come up with a greatest hits list for her bumbles. (those bumbles, I might add are '1 heartbeat away from a 72 year old heart')
In the meantime, I am still awed by the performance of John McCain Friday night. It wasn't what he said (which has thoroughly and rightfully been discussed) It was his body language... no wait.. it was his Language, that blew me away. He was a man who looked angry, impatient and cranky. He could not look at Obama. He twitched, smirked and mocked. This was not a presidential candidate, this was a truly angry, cranky old man. He could not keep that temper under control. He cursed twice.. There are a lot more video's of this out there, but I like this one best.
This week should be interesting. Sarah and John... Dumb and Angry. I would find it Hard to work for 2 people like this, much less have them in charge of the country, and yet, this is what the GOP is hoping America will elect. Totally inept is this team, and yet, people still think that this is the best America has to offer. John McCain was right. This is Horseshit.
The reality is this... we cannot sit back and relax. The polls are still close, and they will STILL try to steal our votes. We have a lot of work to do before November 4th. I see the finish line but I know that we still have a ways to go.
:peace: and :heart:

Team McCain tells me the strategy of having Palin talk to traditional broadcast networks ABC and CBS was designed to allow Palin to reach the maximum number of viewers. "Coming off her tremendous performance at the convention, our goal was to allow as many Americans as possible an opportunity to see her answer questions about her record, her biography and her principles and convictions on as large a stage as possible," one campaign source told me this afternoon. The new CBS interviews, to be done tomorrow, are intended to keep Palin in the public eye as she prepares for Thursday's debate.

News from Yankton
YANKTON - Chassidy Bamsey was supposed to get married this afternoon. Instead, family members will be making funeral arrangements.
Bamsey was one of three people gunned down inside an apartment complex Sunday afternoon. She would have been 21 next week, said her stepfather, William Bamsey.
Also killed were her fiancé, Brian Vanwagner, 29, and Robert Riibe, 21, a friend of the couple.
Yankon Police arrested Ernest Benjamin Tupper, 58, in connection with the homicides. He was being held Sunday night in the Yankton County Jail.
Police Chief Duane Heeney said Tupper faces three counts of first-degree murder.
Police received a report at 2:20 p.m. of a shooting at Marne Creek Apartments. When officers arrived, Tupper was in his apartment. A dispatcher talked Tupper out of his home, and officers took him into custody without incident, Heeney said.
Police said they had not established a motive as of Sunday night. But William Bamsey, who lives in the complex with Monica Foxhoven, said Tupper and Riibe, who also has an apartment in the complex, had argued about music.
"He always played his music," William Bamsey said of Riibe. "He might have made (Tupper) angry."
William Bamsey said Tupper ambushed the three after they stepped off an elevator. He was armed with a pistol and fired several shots. He said it appeared that his stepdaughter and Vanwagner had tried to escape. He speculated that they were targeted because they were with Riibe.
Foxhoven heard shooting, looked outside and saw Tupper armed with a pistol.
"I heard he had a mental illness," she said of Tupper.
Both Foxhoven and William Bamsey waited in their apartment, not realizing that Chassidy Bamsey had been shot.
"I didn't know my daughter and her fiancé were shot," he said, still shocked by what had transpired a few hours earlier.
William Bamsey and Foxhoven said they were staying with a sister because they were not allowed to go back into the apartment complex.

Ah, that seems to be the newest talking point. My Republican in-laws have been spouting off recently about how bad Islam is and how they want to dominate the world and convert all of us.
(Of course conveniently forgetting that they were all Sephardic Jews until the Spanish Inquisition.)

I say again, Russia has been sending TU-160s up and down the East Coast to Venezuela; they've also sent a capital ship on a foreign tour through the Caribbean.
Surely, that's near Alaska. But then again, that's not Putin's head; it's his planes and ships, so I guess that's different.

Ah, greetings Herr Mondo!
Say, quick question....suppose you and I were heads of our nuclear-armed states. We obviously disagree over whether Florida or Massachusetts is superior.
Let's say that a neutral delegation (maybe in Atlanta) offers to host some diplomatic talks.
Would you be more inclined to sit down and talk with no pre-conditions, or if I insisted that you acknowledge that Massachusetts is the most important state in the union first?

Good morning everyone.
So I guess if it's a domestic attack by possibly right-wing thugs it's not terrorism. It was noted that in the waning days of the Wiemar Republic that attacks by the Nazis and other right-wing thugs were treated less harshly than if a similar offense by someone who was on the left which meant Liberals, Socialists, and Communists received harsher sentences.

Love the ad. My advice to Obama after watching the McShame post-debate ad is that Obama should begin every sentence with "John, you are wrong about that, because..."
I hate how they have turned Obama's natural graciousness into a (false) positive for McCain.
