Dagon, apparently Palin was also for earmarks before she was against them. And while she received lots of applause for cancelling the bridge to nowhere and selling the jet on eBay, she also kept that money from Washington, D.C. I guess “Country First” means Alaska first in her mind. Finally, it’s not hard to show fiscal discipline in a state flush with oil money that actually enjoys negative taxes. I think California would be more supportive of off-shore drilling if it could keep the proceeds the way Alaska does.

i find her intellectual dishonesty repulsive particular because she seems to be such an intelligent person.

Since Palin has even more virtues than our Book, here, what will happen is obvious.

hey y, wondered where you’ve been.

and gender’s got nothing to do with it. i attack book because she distorts, misleads and obfuscates to make her points. i find her intellectual dishonesty repulsive particular because she seems to be such an intelligent person.

Dagon’s been given a gift, considering how he likes to attack a woman like Book.

but Obama is guilty until proven innocent

He was innocent until proven guilty. Which is why he is guilty.

she was against america before she was before it it seems- dagon

The AIP stuff is bizarre. AIP says she was a member until 1994, but the McCain campaign denies it. Then it’s discovered that her husband was a member, etc.

Yet oddly enough, the same people who think that linking Obama to Ayers is right and good and honorable believe it’s despicable to bring this up.

It now emerges that two weeks ago, Gov Palin attended a sermon where a preacher was saying some very inflamatory things against Jews.

And once again, the same people who were all over Obama’s ties to Rev. Wright are suddenly silent.

Double standards abound.

she was against america before she was before it it seems. alaska first is not a motto i want to be hearing from my next vice president yet it seems to sum up gov. palin’s worldview quite aptly.

dg –

Fox News isn’t scouring the gutter to find every single shred of dirt on a 17 year old.

Deana, I’ve been saying to leave Edwards AND Palin’s kid alone, but I’m a minority of one. One question: why do you think that even Fox News didn’t tail Edwards at 3am into a hotel room? I think you need a shower… Also, you can disagree with Obama’s foreign policy, but you should tell me why we should start WWIII over the conflict in South Ossetia, which is what we would have had if the Bush Administration had had its way and brought Georgia into NATO. The ideological arguments sound nice, but they get us into trouble more often than not. Even right-winger Pat Buchanan has argued this.

Devx, the MSM also sat on the Abu Graib story, until the New Yorker broke it. You’ve gotta look at the whole picture, lest you confuse the elephant for a snake… Obama is a junior Senator and is apt, like all of them, to tow the party line. Take a look at McCain’s early voting record for a similar view.

He said, and I quote, “Edwards isn’t a player at the moment . . . There are a lot of big issues facing the country. The two candidates are compelling figures, and we have finite resources.” He said he agreed that Edwards was “fair game for journalism of this sort, but this hasn’t seemed to me to be a high priority for us at this moment.. . . Quote from Richard Stevens, of New York Times

“They admit that they did not pursue the Edwards story and gave their excuses for it. And yet, somehow, their priorities have changed in less than a month and they have managed to find a way to direct those “finite resources” to investigating a 17 year old private figure. – Deanna

Who do you mean by “they”? The entire media or the New York Times?

The New York Times has been in the propaganda business for decades, often peddling, as they did with the Bush’s administration’s drive for war, out and out fabrications.

But I dont see them droning on and on about this issue.

I’m not a subscriber, though, so maybe I’m missing something?
