		<description>It is said that McCain is to old, and that Palin will be the real power behind the thrown.  I say if that is true it is God’s will.  Sara will lead us in the right path.  God wants us to fight for what is right.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;All those weak kneed liberals who are worried about the environment or retirement aught to figure out the Rapture is coming, and Palin knows that.  What mattes is what we do now.  God will take care of all the creatures and children.  Christ said bring unto me the children, so feel not sad for those who must/will perish in the rapture, for their immortal souls are more important, and that is what truly counts. Sara Palin will be there to lead us against the Godless Muslims and if Russia or China get in the way, they will know the fire of GOD, she has said so.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A vote for Palin is a vote for God, McCain is irrelevant, he won’t even live out the first year of his presidency more than likely. He knew what to do when he was told, that is why Palin is on the ticket.  McCain knows where his bread is buttered, so don’t worry about him, he will do as he is told.  Palin is the real strength here. Evangelicals can rejoice that we are but a single heart beat away from restoring America to the Christian Land it was meant to be, and then the idolaters will quake in their boots as the army of GOD is finally fully mobilized.</description>

		<description>Obama is the last thing we need in the presidency or anywhere in government for that matter. He&#039;s a proven lying sleezebag and his wife is a flake. Don&#039;t 20 years of afiliation with a hate mongering preacher and long term friendship with a domestic terrorist couple say enough about his philosophical orientation and his character? Would he even be in public life were it not for the disfunctional urban Negro culture that is his primary power base? &lt;br&gt;I see in his past affiliations, statements and voting record (what there is of it) much reason to fear that an Obama adminstration&#039;s agenda for America would entail a  shift of governing philosophy toward the radical left, enabled by the agenda driven judiciary that he will most certainly push through a Democrat congress. Accepting comprimise of our constitutional rights, beginning but not ending with 1st and 2nd ammendments,(fairness doctrine and &quot;gun safety&quot; legislation,respectively) will become the new patriotism. His brand of &quot;HOPE&quot; when subjected to scrutiny is a socialistic formula for a malignant intrusion of government into the way most white middle class Americans are accustomed to negociating their lives. Dr. King&#039;s dream could well morph into a bloody nightmare as his duped supporters, particularly working whites, currently intoxicated by his flamboyant immatation of substance awaken to real life in Obamaworld.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;McCain is no prize, but Obamamamma will take us where we don&#039;t want to go.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve seen a number of blogs and postings confering touting Obama as a  constitutional scholar. I wonder how many other &quot;constitutional scholars&quot; were on both sides of the DC 2nd ammendment case within a 10 day period while maintaining a serious composure? As far as I know this creep is the only one. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ever notice his speach pattern? He&#039;ll utter about six words and then deposite a seventh, terminating in an apparent godly self adoring downbeat. In other words, he sounds just like the pompous ass that he is! Happy voting.</description>

		<description>Sarah Palin strongly believes that Men must be paid MORE than women! Sarah Palin also wants to force women/girls that are victims of rape/incest to carry such fetuses resulting from the said rape/incest to full term, then deliver the baby - irrespective of the will of the victim or even her age. And to think that women are cheering Sarah Palin from the rooftops as the poster girl of womens rights who will spectacularly smash through that presidential/Vice presidential glass ceiling.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Some folks wrongly think that being a woman she will moderate or help turn McCain around from his opposition to equal pay to women. Like this statement one Dave from Baltimore, posted on another site:”I hope Palin breaks with McCain on equal pay for equal work - it would pave the way to a better future for her four children and grandson.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Are you kidding me?!!! Gov. Palin is even more hardcore in her opposition to equal pay for WOMEN, than is McCain. Sarah Palin believes that women must be paid LESS than men - no ifs and buts about it. Period.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;McCain, when pushed about his vote AGAINST giving women equal pay as men, has tried to flip-flop saying that ‘if women are to aspire to equal pay, they must first aspire to achieve college eduction”.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In other words, in McCain’s world, only college educated women shall be extended equality with men in terms of pay/wages. Sarah Palin’s views about (rather against) equal pay for women are very straightforward, and cast in stone: Women must get paid LESS than men. College educated or not, when it comes to pay parity, women are less than men. Coming from a Woman herself, its ironic, but true!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Kind of like an Afro-American person advocating slavery and segregation of the black population!! Wierd isn’t it?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Strangely, Sarah Palin is being trumpeted as the symbol of a woman smashing through the glass ceiling!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;(We are not even going into her strident opposition to abortion even if the pregnancy is a result of rape/incest, and the victim wants to abort the fetus. Sarah Palin believes that such rape/incest survivors must be forced to carry the fetus resulting from rape/incest to term, then deliver the baby. NO exceptions, no termination. If such a woman chooses to abort the baby, she commits a crime, and must be tried as a criminal and punished for opting to abort the fetus. Even if the pregnant female is a MINOR child, she would still have to deliver the baby.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Just so you know, several courts in the country have allowed visitation/parental rights to rapists and the parents or rapists to meet and bond with children born due to the said rape.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I shudder to even imagine what happens when victims of rape/incest are forced to bear the children resulting from the rape (one Sarah Palin’s wishes becomes the law), and then having to drop off the child at the rapists (child’s father) door for court sanctioned visits to dad. What would go through the mother’s mind? Would such rapists not molest these children all over again. What if this rapist rapes this child/daughter all over again…repeating this unbelievably grotesque cycle!!!!!!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Is this American women we are talking about or some burqa clad subjugated women from some Taliban country?!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Setu&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;mailto:setu.madhavan@gmail.com&quot;&gt;setu.madhavan@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>Elrod: &lt;i&gt;Supporting creationism, attending a church run by a guy in Jews for Jesus, believing abortion should be illegal even in cases of rape or incest, supporting (and in her husband&#039;s case, belonging to) a party that believes Alaska should secede from the union, insisting that we take polar bears off the endangered species list, supporting aerial hunting... these are extreme positions.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I have it on good authority that such beliefs are not extreme in the slightest. Rather, they are what the &quot;Good People&quot; believe. You know, the grownups. The adults. The non-children, the ones wearing the big boy pants. The supposed non-elitists.</description>

		<description>Americans don&#039;t just vote for everyman/woman. They vote for the everyman/woman who is ready to be President.  I can think of millions of people here in Tennessee who are &quot;average.&quot; Many of them took on their local school board, or ran for local office. But can they be Vice President without giving any opinions on the issues of the day?</description>

		<description>Interesting point. And true. What angered me was her delight in delivering condescending attacks on Obama and community organizers, but going through the motions on policy.  It shows where her heart is.</description>

		<description>Pro-life isn&#039;t what&#039;s extremist.  Supporting creationism, attending a church run by a guy in Jews for Jesus, believing abortion should be illegal even in cases of rape or incest, supporting (and in her husband&#039;s case, belonging to) a party that believes Alaska should secede from the union, insisting that we take polar bears off the endangered species list, supporting aerial hunting... these are extreme positions.</description>

		<description>elrod: Goodness. Since when did being pro-life become an &quot;extremist social position&quot;? And you want her gutted just like a moose? My, my. Just who is the hateful, unapologetic extremist here. As for the press, no campaign manager worth his salt would subject his client to the raging piranhas right now. Let them scream and whine. The more they do that the more laughable role they play as &quot;objective&quot; journalists. I wouldn&#039;t  even give NBC the courtesy of returning a phone call.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As far as most of  the other so-called media outlets, they are going to say or print their left wing bias anyway, so why bother with taking time off the campaign right now anyway.? In time, my friend , in time. Let them rage on. It does my heart good.</description>

		<description>And one last note and then I&#039;ll fade away.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Certainly Gov. Palin&#039;s speech was written with help from a ghost.  So was almost every speech given in the past few weeks, including John McCain&#039;s.  As a public speaker myself, let me give you an old chestnut of a rule. &quot;The audience is often paying much closer attention to non-verbal clues for your honesty than it is to your content.&quot;  The Clintonian collorary to that is: &quot;if you can fake sincerity, you&#039;ve got it made.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It was in this more important facet of her speech, authenticity, that Governor Palin scored heavily.</description>

		<description>If you look at both the Zogby and Gallop today, the undecided vote is shrinking quickly. The question becomes, what percentage of those swing voters are also likely voters?  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We could be looking at a replay of 2004 when getting out the committed voters was the key -- and the Christian Right won that battle.  Obama so far this year has had the best grass roots operation (yeah, being a community organizer does have SOME advantages).  Can the Christian Right make up for losing 8 months of this year in the next 60 days?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;IF Palin can keep from making a major gaffe or being tagged by the media, she could be a factor.   Obama doesn&#039;t have to be worried about making gaffes as he gets a pass... almost daily.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Being an informed citizen these days requires a lot more work digging up original sources as the politicized media (right and left) can&#039;t be trusted to report even basic facts without spin.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;One thing we can be sure of... the conventional wisdom often is overturned.  There will be more changes before we get there.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Merrill Guice&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thedailyegg.net&quot;&gt;http://www.thedailyegg.net&lt;/a&gt;</description>
