So… does Sarah Palin really believe we’re living in the “End Times”? And if so, can we trust her to have her finger on the button?
Don’t you think that those are legitimate questions to be asked of a Vice Presidential candidate?
Can’t Bring Yourself to Type the Word “Ass”?
Eager to share our brilliant political commentary and blunt media criticism, but too genteel to link to horsesass.org? Well, good news, ladies: we also answer to HASeattle.com, because, you know, whatever. You're welcome!
More proof that the democrats are scared of palin.
If not, would they need to get someone as biased as Gwen Ifill to moderate the veep debate?
Of course if obama wins gwen will make more money from the sale of her books. No conflict of interest there.
Scared is as scared does. And the left is proving how scared they are.
Funny how the media made a big deal of hillary lying about being shot down in a helicopter but refuse to even report on biden telling the same lie.
Why won’t the media ask biden the tough questions?
How many of the silly right wing trolls believe we’re living in the “end times”?
Just about all of them. Maybe one or two don’t. It’s so freaking narcissistic of them to be so convinced that something like that will happen in their lifetimes.
From AP today:

Gee, think we could put any more pressure on Palin? Ohio absentee voters are already voting. At this point, it’s up to Palin to hit one out of the ballpark to get McCain’s campaign back in the running. Anything less than that isn’t going to cut it, despite her having what is probably a record-setting level of “diminished expectations”.
Prediction: The McCain campaign and the White House have a big event planned which will hit the news wires early Friday morning, in order to dominate the news cycle and push the news from the Palin/Biden debate into the background. They will see how the debate goes before pulling the trigger. But if something big happens Friday morning, you can be sure that Karl Rove has decided that the discussion of the debate needs to be on the back-burner.
I have no idea what it would be, except that the current “crisis” regarding the ship full of arms hijacked by Somali pirates might be an opportunity to exploit. A U.S. Seal raid to take over the ship might be “just-the-ticket” to get the news off of Palin’s lack of qualifications, the economy, and back onto “national security” issues.
The truth is, Ifill’s forthcoming book was announced two weeks before McCain agreed to have her moderate the debate. The whining trolls spew should be directed at McCain’s incompetence. McCain again proves himself incapable of leading his own campaign and his party. One can only conclude that no candidate in modern history has been less qualified to lead this nation.
Do you mean because of religious reasons or because obama might be president?
I don’t remember any of the regular trolls spouting religion.
There is that Hal O’Brien freak spouting religion, although I think he’s on the far left of society.
Hey goldy, another sockpuppet.
We all know that steve is the resident expert on goatsex and yet goatsex wasn’t mentioned once in this post.
Oh wait, maybe this time he actually could make a point so he didn’t have to resort to his knowledge base.
Kudos to steve for finally having something to say.
Thomm Hartman’s radio show is right now going over the back and forth between Herbert Hoover and the Congress over the banking crisis of that time.
The parallels are frighteningly similar.
The fight is over who do you give money to?
Do you give money to Wall Street who will only be left to do what they’ve been doing?
Or Main Street who if they don’t get better financing terms will be thrown out of their houses, will lay off employees from their small business or shut them down all together?
Eventually FDR took over and decided to bail out main street and the country was way better off for him taking that course.

I want to remind our congressmen that creditors prisons aren’t unconstitutional, only debtors prisons are.
Poor deluded right wing fool. He obviously believes the end times will happen in his lifetime even after enduring 8 years of the worst president in history.
http://www.pollster.com/polls/.....ge-mvo.php
Sure sucks to be him.
@2 Well, it’s the end times for them — the end of their ideology, the end of their party, the end of their power. In a couple of months they’ll have to go back to being what they were before: Trailer-park redneck cultists.
Hey Marvin! Did you see this morning’s new polls showing Obama pulling ahead in Ohio and Florida and North Carolina and Virgina? Suck on it, dude!

How Boring it would be to devote so much of your life to your relationship with your imaginary friend if this turned out not to be the time he comes “back” to deliver your reward for your staunch belief!
The end time’s just gotta be coming soon!
However, I would like to elect leaders who don’t think the world’s ending tomorrow; I think the belief that there might Be a future leads to better long term planning.
the puddybitch and his doppelganger packedman believe. they’re both fundies.
Marvin…
Just shut the fuck up. you are such an irritating right-wing fool.
is there none of that bullshit you do not believe? my god man…think for yourself for a change.
It sure looks like those conservative House Republicans who killed the bailout bill have elected Obama president. Sure, there’ll be another vote and probably something will pass, but it’ll come too late for McCain. They’ve already started voting in Ohio which is now firmly in Obama’s camp.
If Palin isn’t living in the end times, she’s living in the ’50s, because her hairdo is half a century out of date.
So Marvin, apparently Sarah Palin can’t even name a newspaper she reads do you think she can spell potato? And how does supporting her for vice president in an administration of a 72 year old man with a history of cancer put this country first?
Nothing in the Constitution prohibits us from establishing creditors’ prisons. Usury is against God’s law.
Goldy’s question is not frivolous. Anyone who thinks religion is not an issue in deciding how to vote might consider the implications of Ms. Palin’s knowledge of the age of the Universe relative to decisions about oil or global warming.
For many of us science is just itself … reality, but for the Palinistas of this world, their reality comes form another source.
I have the same concern about morality. Orthodox Judaism, Islam, Mellenialsm, .. each of these teach a way of life and those “ways” have a huge effect on what we might expect of the candidate in office. Even the concept of eternal life is significant if it affects how much someone values this world.
goddamn…stamn is a fucking idiot.
@23
Marvin, for most candidates for Vice President asking them what newspapers they read is not a gotcha question. For a conservative Republican evangelical wacko-apparently it is.
Of course Marvie’s an idiot. He’s probably a closet goat fucker as well.
Hey Marvie! Come out of the closet! And bring your goat.
I noticed a lot of goat for sale signs last time I was over in Eastern Washington in the heart of Republican Land.
So Marvie, if you fuck your goat to death and want a replacement, there you go. But then you probably already knew that…
She must believe she is living in the End Times, I certainly believe she is the Anti Christ.
The rapture – a load of crap.
It appeals to the type of people that want to say “See, I told you so!!!”, and they want it to happen in their lifetimes because:
A. It supposedly lets you into heaven without dying
B. They can rub the noses of the “unbelievers” in it.
Of course, they only way they can rub the noses of the unbelievers in it is if they don’t rapture – which would mean they weren’t true believers, which might have something to do with their wanting to rub the noses of the “unbelievers” into something.
The video is hilarious though. The only ‘refuges’ in the USA are Wisconsin and Alaska?
How would hundreds of thousands of people GET to Alaska, never mind how would Alaska feed them? Where would they even put them?

Below is an excerpt from the debate…
Something I don’t understand. Obama is making the point that back in the 60’s the united state was held in higher esteem by the world.
In the 60’s the democrats were still openly racist.
In the 60’s there was zero chance of a black man running for president.
Gays weren’t even second class citizens yet.
Yet things are worse now?
And if things were better, wht not go back to the values that were prevalent in the 60’s.
Don’t give it to companies that failed. That’s throwing money away.
Businesses fail for a reason, propping them up with money taken by threat of force is an insult to those that earned the money.
You know you’ve been mindfucked when you post using someone else’s name.
I should change my name to Marvin the mindfucker.
Steve can be steve the mindfucked.
There are some hilarious screen names showing up these days.
Pssst, Marvin fucks goats.
No Marvie, post as Marvie the goat fucker. We don’t mind.
Another one of my mindfucked little left-wingnuts.
Hey goldy, does the ip of #14 match any of the other IPs in this thread.
Oops, never mind. I remember what lee said about you-
How do you feel about obama being a part of wright’s church for 20 years, being married by him, kids baptized by him, etc.
We know obama knows it’s a bad thing, otherwise he wouldn’t have thrown wright under the bus.
Typical liberal.
Scared of free speech.
Goat fucker @38
I feel much better about that than about Sarah being blessed by an African witch hunter who has innocent blood on his hands. And she still approve of that witch hunter.
Goat fucker @39
No we’re not tired of free speech. In fact you should seek out more opportunities. How about on I-5 under the convention center. There is a good spot just waiting for you. Watch out for the big trucks…
@39 “Scared of free speech”
No, just tired of your stupidity.
There is a video up at Huff Post of the TV Show The View in which the regular conservative Republican Elizabeth Hasselbeck is offered the chance to say positive things about Palin. The first thing out of her mouth is criticism of Obama.
That reminds me of Marvin and the other wingnuts at this blog. they have nothing positive to turn to in defense of their support of republicans; all they can do is turn to criticism, most of which is bullshit, of the other side.
38 and 39
Check on your goats. I think Mrs. Cynical left the gate open.
George Bush has been in office for 7 1/2 years. The first six the economy was fine.
A little over one year ago:
1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;
2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;
3) the unemployment rate was 4.5%.
4) the DOW JONES hit a record high–14,000 +
5) American’s were buying new cars,taking cruises, vacations overseas, living large!…
But American’s wanted ‘CHANGE’! So, in 2006 they voted in a Democratic
Congress and yes–we got ‘CHANGE’ all right. In the PAST YEAR:
1) Consumer confidence has plummeted ;
2) Gasoline is now over $4 a gallon & climbing!;
3) Unemployment is up to 5.5% (a 10% increase);
4) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $12TRILLION DOLLARS and prices still dropping;
5) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.
6) as I write, THE DOW is probing another low~~ $2.5 TRILLION DOLLARS HAS EVAPORATED FROM
STOCKS, BONDS & MUTUAL FUNDS INVESTMENT
PORTFOLIOS!
YES, IN 2006 AMERICA VOTED FOR CHANGE…AND WE SURE GOT IT! …
REMEMBER THE PRESIDENT HAS NO CONTROL OVER ANY OF THESE ISSUES, ONLY CONGRESS.
AND WHAT HAS CONGRESS DONE IN THE LAST TWO YEARS, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
NOW THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT CLAIMS HE IS GOING TO REALLY GIVE US CHANGE ALONG WITH A DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS!!!!
JUST HOW MUCH MORE ‘CHANGE’ DO YOU THINK YOU CAN STAND?
PS Jimmy Carter was the worst President of the 20th Century-Hands Down.
Palin has utterly bizarre and possibly dangerous religious beliefs. Her church is so off the wall that the Assemblies of God kicked them out in 1949.
The glossolalia doesn’t bother me–nothing wrong with getting a little enthusiastic in church. Even the healing through cell phone calls isn’t so bad, assuming that people on the other end are using evidence-based medicine also and just trying to cover every possible option.
What ought to be disturbing to any sane person is her statement “Yes, I think I will see Jesus come back to earth in my lifetime.” Should McCain win, we are just one more possibly fatal melanoma episode away from putting the nuclear football in the hands of someone who is looking forward to the destruction of earth in a scene straight out of the Left Behind series.

Do people become sockpuppets because they enjoy having goats mount them or since they enjoy being a goat’s bitch they have to hide behind someone else’s name?
What say you steve?
All sockpuppets.
It’s a rather good feeling knowing that I’ve mindfucked some small minded democrat to the point they have to use my name.
Don’t read me.
And if possible, stop thinking of me. Your significant other is probably wondering who I am.
Yet on this blog there aren’t pro-obama threads.
Just anti palin threads.
Typical democrat whining without having a clue.
We don’t NEED pro-Obama threads dumbass…we ARE pro Obama…
…we bash rethuglicants and bait and eat for lunch dopes like you ’cause it’s FUN!!!
How republican of you.
It appears that you have turned into exactly what you hate.
Or maybe you always were like that and pretended to be different.
