An assault on free press? There is a very good reason why,the number of and depth of lies told by these “leaders”?
This Woman decided to not lead,she gave up her Governorship for money.The only thing this woman leads is a double life.

My current Insurance company has managers who decide gets what treatment.I have been disallowed treatment,what did my Congressman say,I could have paid for the treatment! A sad fact about this? Mid-level managers make more then Doctors.
Also I did not see one reference to Bush’s “home ownership challenge.Mel Martinez bragged about HUD putting 6 million sub-prime loans in circulation in just two years.Bush went so far as to make down payments for these people then only pay interest. Bush believing that home values would outpace the loans even said people could use home equity loans to buy big ticket items the homeowners wanted.
None of this is a secret,unless you get your news from Fox,you just wont hear about all this.
All you have to do is google.
I’ll trade your 15 second Barney Frank sound bite and raise you a dozen or so videos of Bush telling his audience of banking leaders,HUD,Fannie and Freddie to join him in his “challenge”
I can’t believe so many are so programmed as to forget all of Bush’s speeches.
Bush also made many videos about illegals being needed here so badly,remember?

An Obama voters view of Sarah Palin’s Hong Kong speech. Anyone who underestimates her is a fool.

“These candidates have a lot of appeal to the grassroots voter, compared to their RINO counterparts such as Florida governor Charlie Crist, who infamously supported the failed porkulus bill, complete with a photo-op yukking it up with Obama a few months ago.”

I don’t know if you’re from Florida or not, but thank you for stating the obvious that many lifelong Floridians could not seem to see or understand. If only Florida would produce a Palin maybe we could stop trying to copy everything California does.

Actually you’ll find that many reporters and not a few political figures have both Facebook
and twitter accounts, but you already knew that.
She re affirms the values and traditions we once
held in high regards, he does everything to tear
down everything. Add to that the idolatry expressed by practically all media, of his trite
mutterings, ‘doctor’s want to take your tonsils out unneccesarily, the cop acted stupidly, inflated tires is the solution to the energy crisis. He puts our finest men and women in harmsway under scrutiny, and he gives the terrorists the benefit of the doubt. He’s the beneficiary of a corrupt network of slumlords, Baathist bagmen, Eastern European currency speculators and other sundry types. She has fought to tame the corrupt oligarchy in her state,

62. vasio:

“What adult or professional person actually has a twitter account besides those between the ages of 14 through 29. I know alot of celebrities do, but who are the fans to celebrities, teenagers and young adults.”

What you said is pretty true, but you are underestimating the value and power of Twitter.

For adults and professionals it’s a new and undeveloped tool. Right now we’re just seen the tip of the iceberg.

Palin has discovered the power of Twitter. This doesn’t make her better because she can’t handle press conferences. She knows it and uses gimmicks like Twitter and Facebook. Again, nothing wrong with that, McCain is twittering like hell now just to show his ‘advanced’ computer skills after years of not using computers. Any six year-old can use these things.

#60, I completely agree with you…

I really can’t trust someone who is supposed to be highly professional and in all a leader. Communicating throught Twitter, like a teenager. It’s really funny. I mean does she have a Facebook account and a Myspace as well?? How can someone actually take her seriously.

Man you talk about sore looser!! What adult or professional person actually has a twitter account besides those between the ages of 14 through 29. I know alot of celebrities do, but who are the fans to celebrities, teenagers and young adults.

But really who is following her on twitter, that is hillariously funny. I have tears coming from my eyes from laughing so hard.

But what symbol is she portraying? What is it that people like? She can’t even get through a interview and answer questions, how can she lead a country and secure safety of the inhabitants.

It is in fact scary.. Scary that people are listening and taking her seriously.

This is a case of capitalism eating itself. Its a case because America has no way of solving capitalistic problems; which is what this nation has always faced. But this nation has been said to be a Democracy and again a Democracy can’t solve capitalistic problems. It is quite evident that this capitalistic problem America is in, is due to many problems that stemed from the two BUSH terms meaning father and son. In those time there were wars brought by both presidents.

Desert Storm (BUSH SR.) then a pause for Clinton… IRAQI Freedom (BUSH JR.) then a bankruptcy for Obama and a depressive, unconfident feeling for the rest of us…

I guess the BUSH’s thought of the MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX thinking it will bring money, but it actually reversed because that area has one of the greatest natural resources that we use the most OIL… So they raised there prices on the barrels. AMERICA raised there prices on the gas… I will not further elaborate, but it’s all down hill from here.. You can fill in the blanks and you would probably be right— If you use common sense…

That is COMMON sense.

He says things that are nonsensical if totally insane, based on expertise he doesn’t have, the Iranian revelations today are just one example, He defends the tyrants of the world, gives short shrift to people seeking and who have held onto freedom in Georgia, Iran,

What I find a giggle is the same people who deride obama for being “all style no substance”, drool all over palin simply because she “represents real america”. She doesn’t have to DO anything to achieve that, she just has to keep mouthing the right platitudes. She won’t let anyone interview her because she ends up looking bad. She won’t even let the press ask her questions because she doesn’t know how to answer them. She gives a few scripted speeches and communicates with the world entirely through a twitter account. And she’s supposed to be the future of conservatism?

What is quite scary (to sensible people, of any political persuasion) is that somebody who managed to impress fewer people at the end of her campaign than she impressed at the beginning has a massive grass-roots following entirely because of her symbolism. And you guys STILL have the gall to claim that obama’s stuffed shirt. Unbelievable.

#7: “If anything the government is to blame because they didn’t interfere enough. Sorry to say, but this whole mess is a case of capitalism eating itself.”

No, this whole mess is a case of stupidity eating itself, (which is itself a perfectly acceptable solution) if only it was left to do so. And government is not a solution to stupidity; they’re just another entity who use it to their advantage.

I thought it was a great speech. Mrs. Palins points are intelligent and honest and rightfully presents the American way as an example to emulate. Something that should be expected from any American delegate.
