McCain/Palin is going to wipe the floor with lightweight obama and boring Biden.
_____________

Well, considering how empty the Nutter Center is going to be for McCain’s “big show” tonight, cleaning the floor should be pretty easy for them…

On another note, this VP pick is a mother of five — the youngest is still a baby who also has Downs syndrome. Being a good mom for just 2 children while holding down an ordinary is really hard. Being a mom with 4 children at home, one of which is a special needs newborn, while performing well in a job, would be enormously difficult. Campaigning for the Vice Presidency, and then actually being able to fulfill the job? I can’t imagine it.

I just wish the MSM would be as quick to pounce on the right-wing lies as we were. Obviously, considering how quickly three of us could rip those comments apart in a matter of minutes should prove how easy it is to do.

It’s interesting to me how close all of our rebuttals were while clearly showing the differences between mindless talking points and actually being right on the issues. Great job everyone :)

That brain-dead , masculine sounding turd of a Congresswoman from New Mexico , just claimed on MSNBC that Creationist Palin has more “executive experience” than Obama , Biden and Chuck Schumer COMBINED .

Since when does a state with a population as small as Alaska’s , have a need for a governor that understands the US economy and the legislation that entails it , or anything that comes close to it ?

Honest question to all of you:

Are you completely happy with this choice for VP? Was this the person you wanted and have supported the decision all along?

Yea, …. Right!

Hi troll, I have to admit I’m lovin it.

“The epitome of a liberal is the emotional leach attached to their political ideology.” = “debating”?

The conservative movement over the past 30 or so years has shown us two things: One, they know how to define and get their message out to the masses (in their case the ignorant masses – maybe that is why their simple message has such an appeal?), and two, their policies are counterproductive to the majority of Americans. For instance, when nationalized health care is discussed, they immediately start convulsing and blathering about socialism, despite the fact that the vast majority of Americans support some sort of national health care plan.

That begs the question: How do they win election after election when it is clear that the majority of citizens favor policies they are against? It is my opinion that they have up to this point won the war of words because they succesfully define what they stand for in simple, easily remembered terms. They have also been succesful in defining the opposition as bleeding heart liberals who don’t stand for anything.

Well, that needs to change. Democrats and progressives are now faced with the task of re-defining what it is we stand for – repackaging our core beliefs and values in such a way that our message is clear and decisive. Now, I am not going to attempt to formulate this new message, but I think a good start would be to contrast what a progressive stands for as opposed to what a conservative does.

A progressive is someone that already has healthcare, but understands the need for a health care system that provides coverage for the millions of un-insured. A conservative has healthcare but doesn’t give a damn if his neighbor doesn’t. A progressive pays his taxes because he knows without tax revenue, government would not be able to operate in a manner beneficial to its citizens. A conservative sees government as an impediment to their success. A progressive sees environmental regulations and standards as necessary to protect natural resources such as clean air and water for future generations. A conservative sees environmental regulations as an unfair business expense. A progressive sees smart investment in public schools as the key to our future success. A conservative wants to eliminate public schools altogether, in favor of private schools where only the privaledged few have access. A progressive looks to further cultivate international alliances so that when we need help we can rely on our allies. A conservative sees all other nations as subordinate, and couldn’t care less what our reputation and standing in the world is. A progressive is for transparency in government which is essential for a democratic society. A conservative will gladly digest whatever message the party disseminates. I could go on and on, but I think I made my point.

As Paul Waldman discusses in his very good article “The Progressive Identity Complex” found at http://www.tompaine.com, it is essential that we frame our message to convey the notion that WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER. By contrasting our core beliefs against conservative core beliefs in a straight forward, easily understood manner, the choice should be obvious to those Americans who care about the direction of our country.

That’s it? That’s your answer to all the replies to your stupidity??

Why don’t you just quote Elmer Fudd?

FDR said a conservative is a man with two perfectly good legs that steadfastly refuses to walk forward.

Because the truly independent thinker believes they need a daddy figure/figurehead , that should lead and everyone should follow them implicitly and without question or show any type of dissent , which is what the GOP and their sheep backers like yourself have become ………….??

No thanks……………

I’ve also heard that 5 years as POW in Vietnam may have driven him insane.
