Thank God I ain't an A-rab!

.

At a recent townhall meeting, a supporter told McCain, "I don't trust Obama...He's an Arab."
 
McCain stood shaking his head as she spoke, then quickly took the microphone from her.
 
"No, ma'am," he said. "He's a decent, family man, a citizen that I just happen to have disagreements with."
  

So if you are an Arab, you are not a citizen (obviously), or a decent, family man.
  

For a full disclosure to the McCain mob, I ain't a Muslim either. So please, please, never distrust me, or hurt me.

Leave Sweet Palin alone

Doggone it, the media has to be filtered; it is so disrespectful of the MSM to publish stories like these about a future president. If a joe-sixpack like me, or a hockey-mom like my wife, had our way, these predators would be raising a white flag of surrender. I report, you decide:

 

• Alaska judge orders state to preserve Palin's e-mails: A judge has ordered the state of Alaska to preserve any government-related e-mails that Gov. Sarah Palin sent from private accounts. "It's a dereliction of the governor and her duties," she said. The judge ordered the attorney general to contact Yahoo and other private carriers to preserve any e-mails sent and received on those accounts. If the e-mails were destroyed when the accounts were deactivated, he directed state officials to have the companies attempt to resurrect the e-mails.
• Panel finds Palin abused her power in safety official's firing: Sarah Palin unlawfully abused her power as governor by trying to have her former brother-in-law fired as a state trooper, the chief investigator of an Alaska legislative panel concluded Friday. Investigator Stephen Branchflower, in a report by a bipartisan panel that investigated the matter, found Palin in violation of a state ethics law that prohibits public officials from using their office for personal gain. The investigation revealed that Palin's husband, Todd, has extraordinary access to the governor's office and her closest advisers. He used that access to try to get trooper Mike Wooten fired, the report found. Branchflower faulted Sarah Palin for taking no action to stop that. He also noted there is evidence the governor herself participated in the effort.
• For Palin, some pork is kosher: Palin over the years has approved billions of taxpayer dollars for discretionary projects, including some to which she had personal, political or parochial connections. From the $25,000 for the Juneau Christian Center to $2 million for an academic conference meant to dispel the broadly-accepted idea that climate change is threatening polar bears (she actually preferred the money be used for the state’s lawsuit arguing the bears shouldn’t be listed as threatened) to $630,000 for a kitchen in a hockey arena complex the self-described hockey mom built during her second term as Wasilla’s mayor, Palin has tended to approve line items in Alaska’s capital budget — essentially the state version of federal earmarks — for projects favored by her and her supporters.
• Meet Sarah Palin’s radical right-wing pals: Extremists Mark Chryson and Steve Stoll helped launch Palin’s political career in Alaska, and in return had influence over policy. “Her door was open,” says Chryson — and still is. Chryson belongs to a fringe political party, one that advocates the secession of Alaska from the Union. “The Alaskan Independence Party has got links to almost every independence-minded movement in the world,” Chryson exclaimed. “And Alaska is not the only place that’s about separation. There’s at least 30 different states that are talking about some type of separation from the United States.” 
• Todd Palin, Longtime Former AIP Member: Gail Fenumiai, director of the Alaska Division of Elections, says that Palin's husband Todd was a member of the AIP from October 1995 through July 2002, except for a few months in 2000. He is currently undeclared. At least two AIP officials recall Gov. Palin attending the 1994 convention, though she says she did not attend.

 
And I'm tired of the rubbish posted on YouTube linking her to the AIP

  

SNL: The first Presidential Debate

SNL: Interview of Sarah Failin'

Please vote for the McChaos-Failin' ticket

 

What's wrong with McCain? He tries to create chaos every time his poll numbers dip.
  
First, he picked Ms. Palin, the most stupid way to create a stir. It was the day after Obama's mega-speech and he wanted to drown out any sensation it may cause. This is really an affront to women; there are much more qualified Republican women candidates who could have been chosen. But he wanted a chaos.
  
Then, as if Ms. Palin had not caused enough of a distraction to help his campaign, he proposed to delay the GOP convention as hurricane Ike was hammering the Gulf coast. Cooler heads prevailed, and only some activities were curtailed. But the Senator would have preferred to create a chaos.
  
Finally, when he saw Obama had surged ahead by 9% points in the Washington Post/ABC News poll and a host of new polls from Fox News, Marist and CNN/Time, each with numbers closer to Post/ABC than not, he declared that he is suspending his campaign and asked Obama to do the same. He also asked that the debates be postponed in wake of this financial crisis this country is facing.

The same day he called Dave Letterman at 3:00 pm to say that he cannot appear on his showthat day as he is suspending his campaign and heading to Washington to ensure the solution to the financial crisis has been reached. Instead, he went to give an interview to Katie Couric, also of CBS. He departed to Washington not until next day, and only after addressing the Clinton Global Initiative.


Four things become clear from his recent actions.

For one, he wants to create chaos and then ride into town like a White Knight and take credit for rescuing the country from a catastrophe. He has taken this page from Bush's play book; and the Iraq war is a good example. 

At first, he acted like an arsonist by fully supporting the president to attack Iraq, and agreeing with Rumsfeld and other neo-cons that this war will be short, that we will be greeted as liberators, that there is no Shia-Sunni animus and that we will be departing the country in short order after leaving behind a model democracy in the Middle-East region.

When that didn't happen, he put on his maverick armor, and rode on the high horse of surge as if try to extinguish the fire he had helped start. It is a no-brainer that violence will go down whenever you put more troops on the ground; the test is if this tactic would usher in a the larger strategic goal, which in this case was political reconciliation. The surge was successful only because this tactic had other symbiotic forces at work as well, like the Anbar Awakening and the standing down of the Mukhtadar Army, but even then the full goals have not been met.

Another example is when he parachuted into Washington to make sure the bail-out plan works. This was receiving a bipartisan support in Congress, and that of the President. It was going smoothly this the Senator decided to become a part of it, when it quickly unraveled. He only succeeded in creating further chaos.

  
Then, there is his tendency focus at one thing at a time. Why couldn't the campaign go on while he visited D.C.? Why did the convention and/or the debates have to be postponed? Can't he deal with two or more crises at the same time?


In addition, he made all these decisions, in addition to countless others throughout the years, rather hastily and rashly. It doesn't seem that he put much thought in any of these, as is becoming evident of his vetting of Ms. Palin. As she goes around and talks to the nation via the press, a picture is emerging that she is most unqualified person that could have been picked.
  
And lastly, his cancellation of his appearance on The David Letterman Show was very telling of his character.

Why did he lie to Dave? Probably because the Palin interview with Couric had been a disaster, and he wanted his interview to share space with that of his VP pick on the evening news. But why couldn't he have been candid with Letterman? I'm sure Dave would have understood.

  
  
In none of these actions did the Senator seems to put "Country First", as he'd like us to believe. They were all driven by personal ambition to be the President, even if the country suffers from the actions he has to take to win.



So, please vote for McCain if you'd like a person who will have his hand on the nuclear button if you don't mind that he makes rash decisions, embellishes in creating chaos, cannot multi-task and is prone to mislead you if things get hot and uncomfortable. By voting for him you'd also put in office someone to be a heart-beat away from an aged person with recurrent cancer, and I'd assume that you are comfortable with her in that position. 

And afer you do, say a little prayer for our country. Gov Palin is a strong believer that prayers work, and Sen McCain is also a recent convert.

Sarah Falin'

God bless America.

Country first.

Show me your friends, and I'll tell you who you are.

Conservatives love Sarah. Ever she has been nominated, she's drawing huge crowds and the McCain campaign has raised millions of dollars. She has energized the GOP base and has breathed new life into a drab campaign.

Even Rev. Dobson, who thinks that all the ills of America are because of liberal values and WORKING WOMEN, is now supporting McCain because he's running with Sarah.

A French philosopher once said, "Not all conservatives are idiots, but all idiots are conservative".

God, please bless America and save her soul.

McTasking

Senator McCain has already told us that neither the Economy nor Technology is his strong suit. Foreign policy and matters of defense/security are and it seems his modus operandi is "Ready, Fire, Aim".

From the events that unfolded this week, it became obvious that he can't multi-task either. I'd give him the benefit of doubt: Given his age, I'm not surprised that he cannot walk and chew gum at the same time.

He had to suspend his campaign and call for postponement of the presidential debates because he wanted to go to Washington to rope in errant collegues who were still seeing the economic picture through his eyes as he had been until recently, when he started to run for the presidency.

Especially when he was the Chairman of the powerful Commerce Committe, but throughout his 26-year career as a pol in D.C., he has been a proponent of deregulation and a believer of the Reagan mantra: "Government is not the solution; government is the problem".

Citizen McCain comes to Washington to tell his fellow congresspersons that being a maverick isn't good enough to be a successful politico any more; we are a nation of small towns where people are bitter and whine.
