That makes you a Democrat, Oz, when you fear Palin&#039;s contributions to &quot;what has been happening to our country&quot;. Certainly a fellow traveler.</description>

		<description>Luigim - when people use terms like American Fascist government, it demands an explanation. Please elucidate us? What do you mean by &quot;fascist&quot; and how is America fascist?

&quot;This country has been free from persons that dictate how women should choose about themselves&quot;. What do you mean by this? Choose what &quot;about themselves&quot;? Should women have the freedom to kill their husbands and children if they wish?

&quot;This country has not created laws that will abandon civil liberties for all persons.&quot; What laws? Which civil liberties have been abandoned or about to be abandoned for all persons&quot;? Help us to understand.

&quot;What happened to “The land of the Free”?&quot; What DID happen, Luigim? You aren&#039;t free? What freedoms have been taken away from you? Do you know any countries that are more free? Help us to understand.

DG - so you fear for what has happened to our country. What are we - Darfur? Please explain what you fear has happened, is happening or will happen Are we headed for a calamity? A Gulag society?</description>

		<description>America, this is a 72 year old professional, retired person. We are dealing with the beginning or should I say, the continuation of an American Fascist Government. This country has been free from persons that dictate how women should choose about themselves. This country has not created laws that will abandon civil liberties for all persons.  What happened to &quot;The land of the Free&quot; I am a reg. independent. I fear for what has been happening to our country. Uphold the Constitution. These laws were written with purpose. God Bless our Country.</description>

Elaborate please. suek


Palin &quot;bridge to nowhere&quot; line angers many Alaskans
By Yereth Rosen

&quot;. . . . During her first speech after being named as McCain&#039;s surprise pick as a running mate, Palin said she had told Congress &quot;&#039;thanks but no thanks&#039; on that bridge to nowhere.&quot;

In the city Ketchikan, the planned site of the so-called &quot;Bridge to Nowhere,&quot; political leaders of both parties said the claim was false and a betrayal of their community, because she had supported the bridge and the earmark for it secured by Alaska&#039;s Congressional delegation during her run for governor.

http://www.reuters.com/article/vcCandidateFeed7/idUSN3125537020080901

Prominent Alaska Democrats said Mrs Palin had supported building the bridge while she was campaigning for governor and reversed course only after opposition by fiscal conservatives in Washington, including Senator McCain.

&quot;She was the only candidate who was saying &#039;We&#039;re going to build that bridge&#039;,&quot; said the former governor, Tony Knowles, who lost to Mrs Palin in 2006.

McCain had criticized earmarks from Palin

Three times in recent years, the Arizona senator&#039;s lists of &#039;objectionable&#039; pork spending have included earmarks requested by his new running mate.

On Obama, Earmarks, Palin Less Than Honest
Palin&#039;s RNC Speech Bent the Truth on Her Record and on the Opposition

We’ll discuss “flip-flop” and “changing her position” after that….! - suek

No need to. To you, she merely changed her position, while to me, she&#039;s being deliberately dishonest.

She wants to give the impression that she&#039;s a reformer who hates earmarks and  wasteful spending, while she backed ALL of those things when they were politifcally expedient. 

Did you see this clip from the Daily Show? Everyone seems to be &quot;flip-flopping&quot; these days:

Elaborate please.

Also, please elaborate your definition of &quot;lies&quot;, and how it might compare with &quot;changed her position&quot;.

We&#039;ll discuss &quot;flip-flop&quot; and &quot;changing her position&quot; after that....!</description>

		<description>&gt;&gt;i think it would be weirder to believe that a 44 year old woman who was having a premature downs baby would go ahead and give a speech AFTER her water broke, then would forgo local treatment and instead get on an ELEVEN HOUR flight, then drive several more hours to an out of the way hospital to have the child.&gt;&gt;

I had a friend who&#039;s water broke when she was 6 months pregnant.  She delivered normally at full term.  That&#039;s nearly 3 months...or at least between 2 and 3 months.  She had to be careful.  She was not allowed to lift her 3 yr old son who was very sturdy - as in big for his age and solid.  She was not allowed to do housework (she had a hard time with that one, believe it or not).  Other than that, she had no restrictions.  

As for the &quot;downs baby&quot; ...what does that have to do with anything?  She could have it aborted if she chose...so what&#039;s your problem?</description>

		<description>Dagon, you believe that crap because you WANT to believe that crap. Your mind has shut down, as even a fellow traveler as DG (a good debater, challenger and thought-provoker, nonetheless) has noted. 

People like you, however, are sooo easy for bad people to manipulate. So, chill and seek a different path to happiness. This isn&#039;t it.</description>
