Stoked, you are right that this should not be a big public issue. However, Republicans have made a big deal about Democrats, lying about personal family level issues. Wasn’t that what the impeachment of Bill Clinton was about? They cornered him in court and asked him about a sexual affair. The fact that he lied was an impeachable offense. But that was really a family level personal issue, similar to the Pallin story. Are you so forgiving of John Edwards, who was seduced by a woman who played on his ego? If so I commend you for you new found compassion. Maybe this compassion could also extend to the poorer people on food stamps, of whom you said to, ”kick their sorry asses out of the food stamp line”. Having a teenage child, have a child out of wedlock is a common experience with poor working and non working mothers.Quote:

McCain's Wandering Eyes
And in this version, you can listen in on what he's thinking too...
See? what did I tell you...Quote:

From all accounts I've seen, John McCain didn't know Sarah Palin at all prior to her getting fast tracked onto the short list. Before she showed up to accept the spot in person, they talked exactly twice over the phone. Once to ask whether she would accept if asked, & again to tell her she'd been chosen. Oh I'm sure there's written & video documentation of her positions on the various issues she's addressed, but she was never vetted by John McCain himself.
Now there will be those who shrug & say "so what?", but the point is that this isn't John McCain's pick. Somebody else pulled the strings. I'd like to know who it is in the campaign staff who can sell John McCain on a running mate he's never met. It kind of makes me wonder what else he can be sold.
I posted this on another board, but thought it added something to the discussion here as well.
Here are a few Palin drones (I made that up :)
She is in favor of teaching creationism. She would not say whether her religious belief also allowed her to accept the theory of evolution as fact.
"I'm not going to pretend I know how all this came to be,"
She disputes that man made activity has an impact on global warming. She favors increased drilling offshore and in the ANWR. She opposed putting polar bears on the endangered species list.
She is opposed to virtually all abortions including those for victims of rape or incest or to preserve the health of the mother.
She is opposed to gay rights. She did veto legislation that unconstitutionally tried to block a State Supreme court decision that gave benefits to gay partners, but she supported the amendment to the Constitution that prohibited gay marriage and has said she would support a ballot measure to reverse the effect of her veto.
She is opposed to stem cell research.
In an interview just a month ago, she dissed the job of VP, saying it didn't seem "productive." and also that she didn't really know what the job entailed.
She praised Obama's energy plan (before she was selected, afterwards that page on her website was "archived".)
Here is what she said about Iraq
I've been so focused on state government, I haven't really focused much on the war in Iraq...I want to know that we have an exit plan in place.
She and Hillary are alike in that neither has a Y chromosome, but in their substantive experience and stance on the issues, they couldn't be more different.
With his choice for VP, McCain is trying to again be a Maverick, but this was a Pinto move and it will blow up in his face.

Sarah Palin hit by internet rumours over fifth child
Tim Reid in St Paul
Teams of Democratic operatives and investigative journalists descended on Alaska yesterday to delve into the private and public life of Sarah Palin, the new and little-known Republican vice-presidential nominee, as fresh questions arose over whether she had been vetted properly by the John McCain campaign.
After the stunning and show-stealing announcement by Mr McCain on Friday that he had chosen the 44-year-old Alaskan Governor as his running-mate, new information emerged over allegations that she tried to use her gubernatorial office to take revenge on her former brother-in-law, part of an ethics investigation that will be released on October 31 – five days before the general election.
If Mrs Palin, a conservative mother of five, ever doubted that landing on a national presidential ticket would open her to the harshest of spotlights and smear tactics, she also awoke yesterday to utterly unfounded internet rumours that her fifth child, born in April with Down’s Syndrome, was actually her 17-year-old daughter’s....
It's starting up the media food chain..
let's just deal with this one for a moment...Quote:

oh, and one last thing...how can a species that numbered 5000 in 1973, then numbered 25,000 last year, be put on the endangered species list?
now who's drinking the kool-aid?
