46. Diane Lee --- your comments were cogent and I've used that same arguement against "you're being so judgemental". ( always said with great petulance and moral outrage.) We make JUDGEMENTS at every turn! Or we'd be run down by a garbage truck or worse before we barely got out of bed.
READ THE FINANCIAL NEWS THIS MORNING, REPUBLICANS. You're ruining this country with your bad judgements!

47. The only republican DUMBER than George BUSH. Way to go, McCain. You found her! PRE-Alzheimer and the woman not smart enough to be vice-principal of an elementary school.

M Dooley at 7:25AM on Sep 15th 2008

Funny, McCain & Palin were probably on the road early this morning. Beginning another day campaigning for the highest and second highest offices in our country. They believe they have a chance to win and are going about it. While M Dooley sits at a computer and expresses his/her political feelings.
Now who is smart and who is dumb?
Guess it all depends what you are doing at

48. The hatred and disrespect directed at Governor Sarah Palin and Senator John McCain has made me more determined to vote McCain/Palin in November! I was never planning to vote for Senators Barack Obama and Joe Biden because of their pro-abortion position. Now, even if Obama and Biden did a complete turnabout on abortion; I would never vote for them. The elitism of his supporters has solidified my opposition. It will be beautiful to behold the tears on the faces of Democrats as their candidate packs his bags in November and returns to Chicago as a "Community Organizer”!

49. I'm still so confused about how anyone can be PRO-Abstinence, PRO-life but ANTI-gay...

I mean if you’re going to NOT teach your kids about sex, they are going to figure it out anyway, little girls will have little babies they cant raise… and there will be no one there to adopt them or to fix the population problem you’ve caused.

Seems to me, to be Pro-life would also be in the best interest to be PRO-gay… wouldn’t it?

Personally, as someone who has spent years working with troubled teens… I’m PRO-choice, PRO-teaching children about sex and how to protect themselves in sexual relations, and PRO-gay.

I’m tired of living in a SECULAR country where the RELIGIOUS rule.

50. Why would Palin know anything about the "Bush Doctrine." It's a term discussed only by leftist bloggers, liberal journalists, and pseudo-intellectual pundits and academics.

Bush never issued, published, or signed a "Bush Doctrine." The term is a hodgepodge of leftist conspiracy theories combined under one rubric for convenient attack.

The famous "Monroe Doctrine" wasn't called the "Monroe Doctrine" until 29 years after Monroe signed it, and Monroe didn't even write it.

But comtemporary leftists simply can't wait for an objective view of history to write the Bush legacy; there's an election they want to win now and connecting McCain/Palin to that legacy is the only tool in their kit. Their hero Zero has nothing else to run on: no experience, no reform, no change, no bravery, no leadership, no clue.

52. For God's sake how do we kill 60 innocent Afghan children? and the Republicans and the false Christians, Palin, talk about abortion? We are horrid people just horrid how come these attacks are just being reported? As a Gentile every election I have voted for a Republican who states they are Christians but not anymore I have had it with these Fake Republican Christians who are war mongers and baby killers and oppressors of the poor they can take Jezabel and King Ahab (Palin and McCain) and shove them! And will the perverted can't get their woodie down from lusting over Palin media ever give the other candidates (Barr and Nadar and Paul) some darn airtime? America is not a Christian nation we are Pharisee nation who now wants to elect a war mogger woman who gives the world reason to mock Christ. As a Gentile don't you fake Christians ever ask for my vote or ever talk to me about Muslims again you who are so against abortion but have no problem killing 60 children with stupid airstrikes. And hello there are more candidates than Jezabel and King Ahab and Obama I would like the media to do their job and allow us Americans to hear from Barr, Nadar and Paul! that is of course when the media gets that nut out over Palin and quit acting like scared bit*ches of Jezabel!

53. Mo! WILL YA PUT THE PERTAINANT DIALOGUE IN WRITING -I CAN'T BE DOWNLOADING YOUR INTERVIEWS FOREVER!

BTW: LOVED YOU ON IRON CHEF AMERICA.

I'M NOT A "DEVOUT" CATHOLIC. I'M REFORMED. BELIEVE IN A SUPREME BEING, BUT NOT WITH ALL THE DOGMA, IDOLS OR GENUFLECTIONS. NEVER-THE-LESS, PALIN ONLY SAID "NO" TO ABORTION AS HER PERSONAL VIEW AND WOULD WORK WITH CHOICE PROPONENTS TO ENHANCE ABORTION OPTION'S. SHE DID NOT SAY SHE WANTED THE OVERTURN OF ROE V. WADE NECESSARILY. I STILL THINK MEN WHO IMPREGNATE WOMEN NEED CHEMICAL CASTRATION UNTIL THEY PAY FOR THE CHILDREN THEY ALREADY HAVE. WE'RE SCIENTIFICALLY ADVANCED ENOUGH. JUST NEEDS ENFORCEMENT. SHE MIGHT BE TALKING WITH A BIT OF HYPERBOLE - BUT SHE SAID IT. MCCAIN WANT'S TO LEAVE INTERPRETATION UP TO STATES. I'M FOR CHOICE SINCE THERE ARE WOMEN OUT THERE WHO ACTUALLY BELEIVED THE GUY WHEN HE SAID HE HAD A CONDOM ON BUT SLIPPED IT OFF. HIS PLEASURE - HER BIOLOGICAL BURDEN. NOT FAIR IT'S ALL ON HER BECAUSE OF HER SEX. WHEN MEN ARE RESPONSIBLE THEN THE OPTIONS TO ABORTION CAN BE EARNESTLY SOUGHT. NOT BEFORE. MEN MUST "ENJOY" CHILDBIRTH AS MUCH IF NOT MORE THAN THE FEMALE SINCE HE NEEDEN'T GIVE UP A PORTION OF HIS BEING IN GROWING THE FETUS OR SUFFER THE DELECTIBLE NUANCES OF BEING PREGNANT AND GIVING BIRTH. HE SHOULD AT LEAST BE PART OF THIS "WONDERFUL MIRACLE" AS MUCH IF NOT MORE THAN THE FEMALE. HIS LIFE IS NOT AS IMPORTANT FOR THE THRILL OF THE LIES HE GETS OFF BARE SEXUAL CONQUEST NO MATTER WHAT EVOLUTIONARY PROCESS GOES ON. WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE A CIVIL SOCIETY. MEN CAN'T PICK AND CHOSE. THEY SHOULD LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING THE TENDER WORDS OF HIS CHILDREN,..... "DADDY! DADDY!" AND MAY HIS HEART SWELL WITH THE GOODNESS AND GRACE OF GOD.

KEEP THE CONDOM ON OR GETTA SHOT FOR IT. UNTIL THEN - CHOICE FOR FEMALES. THE MALE IS AS GUILTY AS THE DAY IS LONG. ,... AND THE TANGO GOES ON. I LIKE WHAT PALIN SAID - I JUST HOPE IT WAS FROM THE HEART AS PORTRAYED.

54. Well, as you can see from the comments Mo...

This is a very sensitive topic among voters and among bloggers who are pretending to be voters...

However, if Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin can come together on a national stage in a bipartisan stand against sexism than certainly we can all stop the incessant sexist comments and just focus on whether or not she is qualified to step in for John McCain after his next major medical issue arrises.

P.S. - Does anyone else believe that Sarah Palin doesn't even need glasses but just uses them to look smarter??? You know the old saying... you can put glasses on a blind pig but it still won't lead you to energy independence!

56. Sarah Palin has the ability to run this country further into the ground. The republican's focus on the fact that she's a mom, not that her experience doesn't exist. i live in a town of 50,000 and i would never want my mayor as president. she left wasilla 27million dollars in the hole and on the way tried to BAN books from the public library. do you want to live under censorship? this is not china. creationism does not belong in public schools, because i'm pretty sure that violates separation of church and state. personally, i think her daughter could have benefited from comprehensive sex ed and palin is probably kicking herself now. by the way, pro choice is NOT pro abortion. Nobody wants an abortion, it is simply the right to govern our own bodies that we fight for. even most republicans agree that in cases of rape and incest abortion is an option. i heard one woman interviewed at the gop convention say that because there are so many families without children, abortion isnt fair. what isnt fair is the millions of children already in foster care, why not worry about them before throwing more into the system? The only reason Mccain picked Palin is because she is a women, but there are so many more qualified for the position. Her nomination is an insult to women everywhere, and just because she has a vagina does not mean they can sway Clinton supporters. SHAME ON REPUBLICANS

57. I love watching you far out lefties lose your marbles. This is the best theater since watching you guys and gals nominate two stuffed shirts in John Kerry and Al Gore. I haven't been this entertained in years. The difference between you nutsos and me is that if my party loses this election, I won't cry, wail and caterwall, I'll just pray for the country and work my tail off paying my taxes and raising my family. You guys worship at the altar of power and you believe ultimate power lies in Washington DC, it doesn't. Who we elect is crucial, thank God for GW Bush, I got 2 supreme court justices that make me smile when I weigh the negative of him spending like a drunken sailor and staying too long in Iraq. I have someone that I can rally behind and get excited about, gov Palin is your antichrist, I get it. Obama's politics scare me to death, but I won't personally attack or smear him like you nutsos do constantly about the first elected woman official in the White House. As a former, very, very reluctant McCain supporter, I am now a fervent supporter and will work to get him more votes!

A: All that experience changing diapers.


Can we harness the energy from burning books to substitute for oil? Just a thought.

Clif Kuplen: I still entertain a dream where you come to my small town and do a one man show of jazz guitar (with a little Roy Clark) and humerous, intellectual patter. You know, A&E is doing a series on performers and their first venues...Johnny Cougar is coming here to perform at the Crump...

You boys be good...it's been a slice...
