" If Obama died before he takes office, would McCain get a second chance? Or Palin? People were talking about McCain dying in office, but I never heard talk of Obama. "

" Many don't understand the depth of problems one party has caused. Forget about a trillion dollar war and economics with no oversight (lousy free market, hands-off approach with zero regulation of the credit industry), Bush's destruction of CONSUMER protection agencies. He placed heads of industries that these agencies regulate in those same agencies. The result? Hardly any oversight. Less safe: food, environment, drugs, products... Bush proved time and time again where his allegiance was - for corporations, not people. Sarah carried that same message but on an embarrassingly shallow and elementary level (wink). "

" What do you want any post-Bush president to say? That he/she wants to keep things exactly as they are.... and not try to fix anything? You're gifted! Bestow more of your wisdom on us!! PLEASE!

You fit the Sarah supporter profile, Einstein! "




Hey Lindy wrote on Nov 11, 2008 6:21 AM:

" Your REPUBLICAN president and YOUR Republican congress (which operated for 6 1/2 years of Bush's 8 year term and which didn't once veto a Bush initiative) were the ones in power. And while it's wrong to blame a party completely for economic down-turns, Reps DID spend money they didn't have; increased government; reduced budget surpluses given to Bush from Clinton to the worst deficit ever (and I thought our deficit was bad under Reagan! - Whew!). THIS is the party of fiscal responsibility? Now you mock Obama for saying he desires to fix things? You're truly ignorant! "




Lindy wrote on Nov 10, 2008 10:21 PM:

" After reading all these terrible comments, I give up! I don't think any of you are worth the trouble--with a few exceptions! I can't say what I would like to say because I would be preaching the "doom and gloom" Obama preaches. Why does he think that he is so superior that he can fix all of our problems? He is just as much to blame as the rest of us. He talks alot, but says nothing. He says he is going to do something, but never says how. "

" The conservative movement of the 80s was intelligent - William F. Buckley, Jean Kirkpatrick.. Even if you didn't agree with these people, you had to admire their intellect. So what happened to conservatism? Why does it embrace of populism and anti-intellectualism - exemplified by Palin? When did it become clever to be stupid?

Even David Brooks (conservative columnist) noted: conservatives' "disdain for liberal intellectuals" has slipped into
"disdain for the educated class as a whole," and worries that the Republican Party is alienating educated voters. Just look at Palin.. Brooks is so right! "

" Giving the devil his due,Obama won by virtue of supurb organization and his oratory skills.Adolf Hitler in the 1930's held similar sway over the masses in Germany.McCain to the contrary struggled out of the Republican mud pit besting a field of other individuals as lackluster and lacking in vision as himself.He failed to inspire confidence.His campaign gained steam with Palin on board.Now the McCain crowd is trying to blame Palin for his loss.Amazing!!!!I don't know anyone who would have voted for him without her.If the Republican Party does not unite it has no future.That is a loss for America.

Look deeper OBAMAniacs! The truths Sarah spoke are relevant and very available online..........anybody who supported Obama will see that the future of country is in deep trouble security wise.

Palin shouldn't be on the ticket unless we know what we're voting for. Is she mentally competent, heavily drugged, bi-polar, seizures, depressed, ADHD pregnant again?

Sarah is a shrewd cookie, I say foul, this is getting old her ignoring the PEOPLES RIGHTS, I believe she has something to hide, we may get stuck with some multiple personality, drug addictied, psycho.

" Don't forget McCain's judgement on selecting Sarah Palin, a radical with ties to the Alaska Independence Party (AIP), as a running mate. Anyone who would select a running mate whose spouse is a traitorous member of theAIP, should never be allowed the opportunity to make judgments as a United States Senator, let alone as President. If this paper supports McCain then I must assume they support are supporters of radicalism, given that Sarah Palin associates with radicals who believe in the overthrow of the American government in Alaska.

You're right. He is. But unfortunately if he dies next year, we're stuck with President Lite 1.0. What I think is wimpy: McCain should have immediately rejected the spectacularly unqualified Palin back in August, and insisted to the GOP that he get a VP partner with a very deep understanding of the American political process and our economic situation. If he had, he could be winning this election. Fake folksiness isn't enough to fill in the grand canyon-sized gaps here. "

And by the way, Fox news ALWAYS has two sides of the story not just one. The problem is the Dems won't come on because they don't like to be asked the hard questions..the same questions that is asked of McCain and Palin. And thanks to the Frontiersman for standing up for what is RIGHT. Screw the Daily News "

" Pure crap. Did anyone ever think you would not endorse McCain/Palin. You are quick to quote 95% record for Obama but won't dare mention 90% record of McCain. You tout experience of McCain but think about it. If he dies Palin becomes pres. Do you really think she has experience to lead the free world. No way! I suppose you think Ted got railroaded. This editorial/endorsement is the biggest piece of B.S so far. I strongly urge everybody to boycott this paper for their continued bias and ignorance. "

" The conservative Republicans have pushed the pendulum way too far in their direction over the past 8 years. Allowing McCain to push it further for another 4 years would be a huge mistake. I am proud to say that I have already voted for Barack Obama and Joe Biden because they will lead us in the direction that we need to go. "
