I think Obama said it best in that this shouldn’t be what politics is based on in this election. Teen pregnancy is somewhat of a problem in the country and the best that can be done by the media is to give the family privacy.

Also, I was watching ABC News last night, and Steponopolis was on there and he was talking to some past strategists, and they were saying that in the beginning, most of the Rep delegates were praising McCain for selecting Palin, but now, some have the mindset of “What was he thinking??” Its just something interesting to think about….

i gave up b/c it was retarded to load and it turned to the discussion of evolution which i find to be insulting to my intelligence to listen to people belittle. and i dont wanna get into it, so save your energy.

there were some interesting discussions though before it got to 750+ posts and with the ’Pub Convention goin on it figures another was bound to show up.

so here’s my Question:

What’s your opinion of Joe Lieberman? He is speaking at the convention tonight so i figured id ask b/c democrats are familiar with him and now he seems to be lining up with republicans. What do you think of the guy?

dems release Sarah Palin’s SSN and home addresses.

The Dems, woman libs and far left are afraid of a strong, independent, conservative woman. This election could be won or lost on the speech she give tomorrow night.

Try to put the shoe on the other foot once in a while. If you find out a piece of information, or hear a quote, or read about a policy proposal, from one candidate — pretend it came from the other candidate and check your baggage.

We are all guilty of confirmation bias to a certain degree and react differently based solely on party affiliation. Taking my suggestion gives you a quick way to see if you’re merely reacting out of bias or if you really feel that way about the issue. This requires you to be brutally honest with yourself, difficult.

Example: If one of the candidates gave a speech tomorrow saying they would have the troops out of Iraq by 2010, would you feel differently if it came from McCain instead of Obama?

that the mccain campaign didn’t research palin before choosing her, and really kind of blew it.

some points with no clear reason or order:

we know mccain picked her because she’s a woman. but why not somebody more qualified like elizabeth dole? even kay baily hutchison (though i guess she’s not pro-life enough).

i think as time goes by women will be more and more insulted by this pick.

he met her once.

he lost his best argument against obama. by picking her as VP he is saying that she’s ready to be president. if he died a month into his presidency, she is capable to be president. bullshit. obama has more experience than her, mccain can no longer bash obama.

obama’s campaign sent people to look at newspaper archives in alaska (not available online) the newspaper (or is it library) say that they are the only ones to do this. what does this mean? mccain didn’t look into her.

did he really know that her daughter is pregnant? palin preaches abstinence only education, did it work?

i hope that there isn’t a big push by conservatives, or hypocritical liberals to say that she has a daughter that needs her more than ever and a handicapped kid, she needs to stay at home.

this whole thing about her allegedly fireing her head of public safety for not doing her personal bidding and then citing executive priviledge in the face of subpeonas reeks of more of the same bushism.

let’s hope that the 20 year old DUI for her husband doesn’t get lotsa national attention, becuase that’s old and doesn’t matter.

biden will destroy her in the debate. the question i have about the debates is this: will he be seen as picking on an innocent weak woman? or if she’s strong will she be called a “bitch” like hillary was?

Sarah Eagleton steps aside within 2 weeks for Pawlenty. And McCain-Pawlenty get landslided in November.
