We liberals may as well admit defeat on the Palin front.

I believe you are mistaken, Kerry's running mate was Edwards.
Lieberman was the running mate for Al Gore.

I should be more careful about setting off blocks of quoted text. The

I'd have responded sooner but I didn't look closely and assumed you were

who, if this gets any easier, is going to enjoy it just as much anyway.

Imbecile.

Rewriting history again, eh? Please tell us which year did Kerry pick
Lieberman as his VP running mate?

Could this possibly be any more delicious?

Anybody care to help the boy down off the meathook?

davie?

Moron.

Flatterer.

So maybe you're really saying that Kerry picked Lieberman, but, like the
electorate, Lieberman said no.

But in any case, you're just plain wrong.

Actually, no......but someone sure was. And someone else still is.

So I'll return to ignoring your posts.

Ouch.

Nothing of value in the bandwidth wasted to get your messages.

Huh?

who supposes the author of the misattributed attribution above must be
REALLY embarrassed long about now.

Hot mic catches GOP strategists trashing Palin pick
From CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney

(CNN) Prominent Republican analysts Peggy Noonan and Mike Murphy became the
latest victims of an open microphone Wednesday, caught after a segment on
MSNBC trashing John McCain's pick of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running
mate.

Noonan, a Wall Street Journal columnist and former speechwriter for Ronald
Reagan, and Murphy, a campaign strategist and onetime aide to John McCain, can
both be heard expressing disbelief with the pick of Palin after they
apparently thought they were in a commercial break.

"I come out of the blue swing-state governor world, Engler, Whitman, Thompson,
Mitt Romney", Murphy said during the mishap which has since been posted on
YouTube. Murphy later flatly says of the pick, "It's not going to work."

Noonan is heard going even further, saying of the presidential race, "It's
over."

"I think they went for this - excuse me - political bull**** about
narratives," Noonan also said. "Every time the Republicans do that, because
that's not where they live and it's not what they're good at, they blow it."

Don't worry. Right now the national media is ga ga over her but has
next to zero knowledge of just how corrupt Alaska politicians, male

Hooray, she cut Wasilla property taxes 40%

Boooooo. She "hires" (read paid off) a Senator Stevens' henchman, then
the Senator conveniently earmarks a total of something like $27
million for Wasilla, including a sports center for the ex-point guard
and a $15 million rail link between Wasilla and the Senator's ski
resort hometown of Girdwood. Then when the Senator gets in trouble for
extorting $250,000 in remodeling from an oil industry firm, with the
FBI closing in Palin beauregard's the old grafter by suddenly
condemning his earmarks for the notorious "bridge to Nowhere." Her
"reform" record is made up of this kind of crap and doublecrosses.
Even the Republicans will start to figure it out in a week or two.

A typical right wing graft scheme. Your average Republican has no idea
of the corruption that has rotted the heart out of their party, or
insists that the Dems do the same. Amazing.

HOLY ****! Improper record obtaining! The US will be incensed! It
will be horrified! It will be...well, OK, so no one will really
care...but, well...um...I feel your pain...and it'll take a village to
heal that pain...and...and...and...oh, who are we kidding - the guy
apparently tasered her nephew (to quote someone and I doubt it was her
side, "in a training capacity..."), cheated on her sister, and kicked
someone's dog. Let's examine this as carefully as the voters might: one
the one hand, he tasered a 10 year old, yada-yada-yada, he got fired,
and on the other, she allegedly read some allegedly improperly obtained
records and had ass run sideways. Hmmm...records-reading over Tasered
kids...boy, a tough call, but I've got to bet on Tasing kids being the
loser. If you're a Dem, this isn't the horse to put the spurs into, but
hey, knock yourself out...no pun intended...well, not exactly, anyway.
The Dems are flailing badly with this and they might oughta
stop...yesterday.

I'd suggest not giving each other blow jobs quite yet, but hey, don't
ask, don't tell, gay rights, and all...plus at the end of the day, I
don't begrudge you girls your fun...well, that, and I figure you'll be
more amusing this way...or at least I'll be more amused...

straight out of Pulp Fiction, but good political advice.
Still, the feedback our canvassers are getting(in, what is, remember a
majority Republican district) is that Palin
came off as shrill, smart-alecky and smarmy. I'm shocked at how these people
here have turned on the GOP, so, while I'm not about to declare "mission
accomplished" yet, I think we may be at a national pendulum swing moment.
Tom
p.s. And Frank Church illustrated exactly WHY voters are feeling as they do.
His rant, belittling education and educated people illustrates exactly how
empty headed many in the GOP have come. They celebrate ignorance,
push tough talk and jingoistic BS over really making the world and nation
safer, and come up real small in terms of actually moving the nation in a
unified, positive direction.
It is only fitting and right that such an attitude get buried.
The sooner, the better.

.. . . and this is the attitude that got the Dems into the downward slide in
the last two elections. It's that "many" thingy that'll get you every time,
my friend. The middle-of-the-road voters will be the deciding factor in this
election and, tho' I'm no expert here, their decisions just may be
influenced by these types of elitist comments. If playing down to the
element you describe above comes into play ("Can I get me a huntin' license
here?"), turn out the lights - it's over.

"have come?" Are you kidding? The GOP, among its myriad membership,
has had for years and will probably always have about 50 percent of the
US population of empty-headed dumbasses who'll vote for whomever the
party throws in front of them...and the Dems, among their myriad
membership, have a solid lock on the other 50 percent...

Absolutely. Both slates are gonna get the first 40-45 or so percent as
a freebie, and in just about dead-nut equal amounts, Nader is gonna get
his 4ish, Barr (if he's in) his 1, that leaves about 10ish percent of
the _actual_ voters, tops, who'll aren't currently "committed" and will
decide this. Obviously, they aren't "pre-aligned" with either, and half
of them won't decide until the very last minute unless something
EXTREME!!! happens and the "decision" will be all or mostly emotional
reaction. The remaining 5 think of themselves as real
weigh-all-the-information types who are going to hear ALL the
information before making a really informed decision, but really,
because of where they get their info, they are just mirrors of the right
and left who will just about split. What you'll have is about 5-8 % of
those voting who'll decide this (the emotion deciders) and who'll do so
based on, well, emotion.

and, tho' I'm no expert here, their decisions just may be
influenced by these types of elitist comments.

Oh, you bet your ass.
