So if Sarah Palin is so awesomely great and fantastical, as our deluded friends on the far right proclaim, why isn’t she going on any of the Sunday bobble-head shows? They can’t even risk putting her on Fox Noise Sunday yet. That’s just sad.
If she can’t stand up to Chris Wallace, how can she stand up to all the officially designated Hitlers of The Month?
What if we’re attacked by Ahmed Ahmadinejad, Kim Jong Il and Whoopi Goldberg? Is she going to rely on Elizabeth Hasselbeck?

Mendacity,cynicism,hypocrisy-likebreathing for Republicans spews:
As The New York Times reported last Tuesday, Palin was sloppily vetted, at best. McCain operatives and some of their press surrogates responded to this revelation by trying to discredit The Times article. After all, The Washington Post had cited McCain aides (including his campaign manager, Rick Davis) last weekend to assure us that Palin had a “full vetting process.” She had been subjected to “an F.B.I. background check,” we were told, and “the McCain camp had reviewed everything it could find on her.”
The Times had it right. The McCain campaign’s claims of a “full vetting process” for Palin were as much a lie as the biographical details they’ve invented for her. There was no F.B.I. background check. The Times found no evidence that a McCain representative spoke to anyone in the State Legislature or business community. Nor did anyone talk to the fired state public safety commissioner at the center of the Palin ethics investigation. No McCain researcher even bothered to consult the relevant back issues of the Wasilla paper. Apparently when McCain said in June that his vice presidential vetting process was basically “a Google,” he wasn’t joking.
That’s why the Palin choice was brilliant politics — not because it rallied the G.O.P.’s shrinking religious-right base. America loves nothing more than a new celebrity face, and the talking heads marched in lock step last week to proclaim her a star. Palin is a high-energy distraction from the top of the ticket, even if the provenance of her stardom is in itself a reflection of exactly what’s frightening about the top of the ticket.
By hurling charges of sexism and elitism at any easily cowed journalist who raises a question about Palin, McCain operatives are hoping to ensure that whatever happened in Alaska with Sarah Palin stays in Alaska. Given how little vetting McCain himself has received this year — and that only 58 days remain until Nov. 4 — they just might pull it o

this is interesting http://andrewsullivan.theatlan.....an-on.html
“Sarah campaigned in Wasilla as a “fiscal conservative”. During her 6 years as Mayor, she increased general government expenditures by over 33%. During those same 6 years the amount of taxes collected by the City increased by 38%.
This was during a period of low inflation (1996-2002). She reduced progressive property taxes and increased a regressive sales tax which taxed even food. The tax cuts that she promoted benefited large corporate property owners way more than they benefited residents. The huge increases in tax revenues during her mayoral administration weren’t enough to fund everything on her wish list though, borrowed money was needed, too. She inherited a city with zero debt, but left it with indebtedness of over $22 million.”

Ind fact, you’re still building an access road to the bridge that’s no longer going to be built, because, if you didn’t build that road you’d have to return those funds to the Federal government. Weren’t you being more than a bit dishonest in your acceptance speech?
jcricket spews:
The first line of offense will have to be against McCain. He’s the one running for prez. He has to be the primary target. And he is prone to making stupid, ignorant statements and remarks. Add that to the fact that he has now turned against his “base” of the press and Obama is smart enough to make it work in the next couple of months if McCain does not wise up and change course.
Palin can only be a primary target if she is out there in the daily headlines. As long as the repubs sequester her in hiding, she can’t dominate the headlines. This is a 24/7 feeding frenzy. Daily headlines feed the daily mood of the electorate. No good press for Palin, no popular support (outside of her small rabid funda-Mentalist demographic). If McCain wants to ride the Palin train to the White House, he’s going to have to put her in front of more than the religious rightwing segment of his party. That does not look like their plan.
58 days in politics is an eternity. It will be fun to see how the next couple of weeks lay the foundations for October. In October, things will have changed very much from today.

Sarah Palin: USA’s Fattest Earmark Pig
The Associated Press reports that in Palin’s first year as Alaska governor she requested earmarks totaling $800 per state resident. The U.S. average is $34. Oink oink!
Gov. Palin’s request to Sen. Stevens’ office this year is $300 per resident, still almost 9 times the U.S. average. Oink oink!
But that’s less than her original request. She reduced it because Pres. Bush demanded fewer earmarks. Oink oink!
And even though Gov. Palin was against the Bridge To Nowhere after she was for it, she kept the $27 million for the approach road. Oink oink!

Obama Rips Repubs For Personal Attacks
“They must think you’re stupid.” — Barack Obama
“Speaking to 800 people at the Wabash Valley Fairgrounds in Terre Haute, Ind., the Democratic presidential nominee ridiculed John McCain and his running mate … for describing themselves as agents of change ….
“McCain has acknowledged voting with President Bush 90 percent of the time in Congress, Obama said. ‘And suddenly he’s the change agent? Ha. He says, “I’m going to tell those lobbyists that their days of running Washington are over.” Who is he going to tell? … his campaign chairman, who’s one of the biggest corporate lobbyists in Washington? I mean, come on, they must think you’re stupid,’ Obama said as the crowd laughed and cheered.
“Obama said Republicans are targeting his character, and he criticized McCain for saying he would reduce the partisan rancor in Washington. Pretending to address McCain, he said, ‘Did you pay attention to the last two days of your convention?’ …
“‘When you start just focusing exclusively on trying to tear the other person down instead of what you are going to do on behalf of the American people to deal with this economy,’ Obama said, ‘ … that’s not serving anybody.'”

Prominent Pro-Hillary Defector Deserts McCain
Erstwhile McCain trophy Reba Shimansky, a Hillary supporter who defected to McCain, has announced she will not vote for McCain after all. She issued a statement saying, “I would have voted for McCain if he made a sensible choice for VP like Ridge which would have shown that he was willing to stand up to the rightwing crackpots in his party.”
I’ve never heard of Shimansky until now, and I wouldn’t have posted it, except I think Shimansky’s action is emblematic of disappointed Hillary supporters’ unwillingness to support someone like Palin.
If McCain thought he could pull in disillusioned Clinton Democrats by putting a rightwing crackpot on his ticket, as long as the crackpot was a woman, he probably was mistaken.

Democrats Winning Battle Of Voter Registration Drives
According to a story in the Seattle Times, Democrats are dramatically outpacing Republicans in registering voters.
Since 2006, in the 28 states that register voters by party affiliation, the GOP has lost 344,000 registered voters. Democrats are aiming to add 2 million for their party in the same states.
In the battleground state of Pennsylvania, Democrats have added 375,000 voters while Republicans have lost 117,000 since 2006.
In Georgia, the Obama campaign hopes to add half a million Democrats to voter rolls. In North Carolina, a traditionally Republican state targeted by Obama, Democrats have outregistered Republicans by 167,000 to 36,000.
This election may well be won by the canvassers signing up first-time and inactive voters. We might even see Obama carry states we never thought we’d see go Democratic.
And all those new Democratic voters may carry a tide of new Democratic representatives and senators into Congress, too!

As Mayor, Palin Was A Loose Cannon
According to a Seattle Times story, a trove of documents from a federal lawsuit archived here in Seattle reveals that Sarah Palin’s first year as mayor of Wasilla was “so contentious and polarizing that critics started talking recall.”
According to the story, Palin “became embroiled in personnel challenges, a thwarted attempt to pack the City Council and a standoff with her local newspaper. …
“Her first months also exposed threads that would later become patterns — friends become enemies ….”
According to the story:
“Palin tried to fill two vacancies on the City Council herself, even though an ordinance said that … was the council’s [prerogative],” until the city attorney stopped her.
“[T]he public-works director, accused Palin of undermining him by meeting secretly with contractors and employees.”
When Palin decided the city’s museum staff should be reduced, she asked three women who worked at the museum to decide among themselves which one should be let go. All three quit.
The local newspaper The Frontiersman “ran blistering editorials, condemning Palin’s philosophy ‘that either we are with her or against her’ [and] accused Palin of mistaking the 616 votes she received as a ‘coronation.’ The newspaper wrote, ‘Wasilla residents have been subjected to attempts to unlawfully appoint council members, statements that have been shown to be patently untrue, unrepentant backpedaling, and incessant whining that her only enemies are the press and a few disgruntled supporters of Mayor Stein. … Palin promised to change the status quo, but at every turn we find hints of cronyism and political maneuvering. We see a woman who has long since surrendered her ideals to a political machine.'”

Where have you been, in jail? Having missed my previous comments on this subject, be advised that the latest polls have Obama up 6 points and 43 electoral votes.
Actually, Pollster.com’s figures (link @17 above) are even stronger than Newsweek’s for Obama — 260 EVs for Obama to 179 for McCain, which means Obama needs only 10% of the 99 EVs in tossup states.
According to Pollster.com, of those tossup states, Obama leads in Ohio, Virginia, Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, and New Hampshire. If the other states fall in line as shown on Pollster.com’s electoral vote map, Obama would need only Colorado (where he has a 4-point lead) and one other state. In other words, winning both Ohio (where Obama leads) and Florida (where McCain leads) won’t be enough for McCain.

@28 A Westwind isn’t exactly a luxury jet. It’s mighty low end as such things go — a 1960s design that went out of production in 1987, over 20 years ago. Which is ancient history in the aircraft biz. It’s a fuel guzzler and slow by today’s private jet standards. Alaska sold it for about $2 million, which is peanuts for a jet. The buyer probably wanted the engines and likely will part out the rest.
Want to know what’s over the top? Televangelist Kenneth Copeland asking his followers to pony up cash for his-and-her Citation Xs, at $21 million per copy, that’s what.

In fact, so many of the televangelists who tell their followers that Jesus wants them to vote Republican and get filthy stinking rich have private jets, I even found a web site that puts televangelists in categories by the type of jet they tool around in (from cheapest to most expensive):
“ENTRY-LEVEL, STARTER JETS
” … Paula White owns a Hawker-Siddeley ‘Jet Dragon’ – aptly named for the trail of smoke it would leave IF it could fly or IF she could get parts for this 1965-vintage relic. Truly a vanity purchase, it’s been grounded since she bought it, just so she can SAY she has a jet.
“THE CESSNA CITATION CLUB
“Copeland proteges Jesse Duplantis and Jerry Savelle, plus Florida upstart Mark Bishop, each fly their own Cessna Citation 500. …
“THE GRUMMAN GULFSTREAM GUYS
“Fred Price, Creflo Dollar and Brother Benny Hinn all have their own Grumman Gulfstream II’s.
“THE BIG-BUCK BOYS, THE CHALLENGER 600s
“Paul Crouch owns … a Bombardier Challenger 604 … [t]he late Ken Hagin [had a] Challenger 601 … Joyce Meyer has her own Challenger 600.”
(Quoted under fair use.)
Here are some other notable televangelists and their rides:
Kenneth Copeland — Cessna Citation 550 Bravo, Grumman Gulfstream II, Cessna Golden Eagle, Beech E-55, assorted lesser aircraft and hiw own airport.
Paul and Jan Crouch — Challenger 600.
Joyce Meyer — Challenger 600.
Pat Robertson — A Learjet 35 owned by Robertson crashed in 2006, killing the pilots. Like Kenneth Copeland, Robertson owns a private airport.
Oral Roberts — Fanjet Falcon.
Mike Murdock — Cessna Citation 500.
Ernest Angley — Boeing 747.
This, of course, is only a very partial list and many jet-setter televangelists have been omitted.
Because their evangelical associations are tax-exempt religious organizations, no federal income taxes are paid on any of the donations and proceeds of book and merchandise sales that pay for this stuff.
Roger Rabbit spews:
@42 Al Gore (a) doesn’t own a private jet and (b) doesn’t solicit donations from poor people to be used for “God’s work” which are then spent on buying mansions, fancy cars, and private jets for televangelists who tell their flocks to vote Republican because God wants them to be rich.

Daddy Love spews:

McCain now has a staggering number of lobbyists involved in every aspect of his campaign. We don’t need more years of lobbyists writing legislation, as we did with the corrupt Medicare presscription drug plan.
McCain looked the other way as Jack Abramoff bought and paid for the Republican Party and the Culture of Corruption.
On immigration reform, McCain has run as far to the right as he can, aligning himself with the most extreme elements of the Republican Party.
On the war, McCain has masde it clear that he has no plans to reduce the American presence in Iraq.
On a woman’s right to choose, McCain has vowed to appoint judges who would overturn Roe v. Wade.
On the economy, one of the issues that the American people care most about, not only has McCain addmitted that he “know[s] a lot less about economics than I do about military and foreign policy issues,” but also his ONLY plan cosists of the old, tired, Republican tropes of cutting tazes on the wealthiest Americans and huge corporatins, including oil companies.
