The hypocrisy and crazy, off-the-wall comments by some of the contributors from the “right” just shows me not much thought goes into these comments. Misrepresentations are freely made about Mr. Obama with crazed terms and use of the standard “liberal”, “elite” etc. Meaningless terms, because they don’t have actual facts to put forth, so they just shout out “liberal” and that is supposed to “explain everything”. Well it doesn’t. Being against abortion, but killing children in foolishly sought out wars seems to me to be hypocritical. McCain has no morals, having left his wife because she was no longer the beauty queen he married…or rich….though she stuck by him throughout his five years as a prisoner. So now he picks another “beauty queen”. She may be a great choice for PTA president, but not even having thought about the war in Iraq much (her words), that alone should eliminate her. And why is her daughter off limits, when Jamie Lynn Spears was clobbered by the “right”. Her parents were criticized and she was denigrated for low morals. Double standards. The “right” always claims foul for someone else doing EXACTLY the same things they do.

More importantly, she lied throughout her speech. What happened to that “straight talk”?
