		<description>So Sarah Palin is a Washington Lobbyist-hating, earmark-declining, lipstick-wearing hockey mom?  Are we sure? 
 
As someone famously said “You are entitled to your own Opinions but you are not entitled to your own Facts”. And the facts are that from 1996 to 2002 as Mayor of Wasilla (population about 6,000 and, according to the 2000 Census, 84.56% white) Palin aggressively sought earmarks for Wasilla, going so far as to hire big-time Washington LOBBYISTS to squeeze as much taxpayer money out of Washington as possible. Palin and her hired Lobbyists were so good that they managed to get $600,000 for a bus facility, $1.75 Million for dispatch center equipment, $2.4 Million for water and sewer facilities, and much, much more. 
 
According to Taxpayer’s for Common Sense, in Palin’s last 4 years as Mayor she netted the 6,000 residents of Wasilla a whopping $27 million in earmarks!  That $27 million in earmarks includes the money for the Bridge to Nowhere which Palin backed when she was running for governor in 2006 before she was against it in 2007 after wasteful spending watchdog groups attacked it! But here’s the kicker--Palin KEPT the money for the Bridge to Nowhere. 
 
This year Alaska had more requests for earmarks per person than any other state. The fact is that Palin asked for $256 Million in earmarks her first year in office and for $195 Million her second year. 
 
Because Palin has such an anemic public service record and she refuses to be interviewed and answer in-depth question, in order to know what she truly stands for we can rely only on her actual past actions rather than her future promises and hype. 
 
But I have seen with my own eyes that she does wear lipstick.

Wait till 2012, my wife is running for President because she wears LIPSTICK, is a MOM, has two CHILDREN, can drive a car, and works. We went to Canada so she knows foreign policy. We even went to Washington DC so she has experience. Man, she should win by a LANDSLIDE!

WHO KNOWS, THE SHADOW KNOWS!

Well Lamont there is a good chance I would vote for your wife. I would vote for Spongebob over another Bush or McCain.</description>

		<description>It is a sad day when in America we must take into account the &lt;strong&gt;&#039;Opposite and Inverse&#039; quotient&lt;/strong&gt; of what a certain party&#039;s presidential nominee put forth to the public.

The &lt;em&gt;&#039;Opposite and Inverse&#039; quotient&lt;/em&gt; is not new, yet its application to an entire political party is unprecedented and quite an astonishing feat.

The &lt;em&gt;&#039;Opposite and Inverse&#039; quotient&lt;/em&gt; is self explainable, though its history may not be.  

It was originally used in a variety of stand up comedic acts, but has gained popularity in politics over the past eight years through the Bush Administration continual usage.

The &lt;em&gt;&#039;Opposite and Inverse&#039; quotient&lt;/em&gt; in its basic form is as follows:

Up is down, black is white.  Inherent characteristics are transposed on outside bodies.  What we hold to be common truths are now in question, and each opposite (untruths) are regarded as legitimate.  The &lt;em&gt;&#039;Opposite and Inverse&#039; quotient&lt;/em&gt; used in it&#039;s previous context would require a statement be followed with such words as: &quot;yeah, yeah, that&#039;s the ticket!&quot;  Which would undeniably verify to listeners that the actual statement was a farce.

Due to this party&#039;s continual usage of the &lt;em&gt;&#039;Opposite and Inverse&#039; quotient&lt;/em&gt; without a signifying statement to alert listeners to the obvious falsehood, listeners are then required to identify the intent and accuracy of the statements made. 

Some in the public have been referring to this phenomenon as &quot;lying,&quot; and this too may be a new &quot;truth.&quot;  However, the comedic history of its usage has left us without adequate transition time for the 2008 election.

I, therefore warn the public to assume any and everything that is said by the republican party, it&#039;s members and leadership, is entirely the opposite of what has been said.</description>

They&#039;ll just keep saying false things over and over again, and the sheeple will swallow it up....

		<description>satirev,
What concerns me is the lack of leadership from the Democratic Leadership on this matter. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bradblog.com/?p=1025&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;They&#039;ve known for years that electronic voting/computing is hackable&lt;/a&gt; yet refused to correct HAVA.

The fix is in people...

&lt;em&gt;What matters is who counts your votes.&lt;/em&gt;

If the GOP wins... the Dem&#039;s will cry foul.
If the Dem&#039;s win... the GOP will cry foul.

		<description>McCain and the neocons know they have the media, cheating voting machines and quite possibly rigged polling.

Here we go again and what are we going to do November 5th and there after when we once again find our election was stolen?

		<description>Well, he&#039;s already made Palin &quot;famous&quot; as promised, so now he just has to &quot;shame&quot; her, as he says he will do, for asking for that Seal DNA money.  How dare she!

His own campaign will have to run an ad against him for being sexist towards her though.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;5th Estate Says: 

Besides the hypocrisy McCain is demonstrating here he also illustrates a sneering contempt for science and an incapacity to grasp anything beyond dogma.

September 11th, 2008 at 2:00 pm&lt;/i&gt;
______

Exactly.  It&#039;s just a continuation of the Republican War on Science.  Watch for McCain to back away from his earlier stances on evolution and climate change soon, and introduce a bit more doubt into what he says about them.  

Not to mention that $3 million in the Federal budget is beyond pocket change.  It&#039;s a bit of pocket lint.  

Pocket fluff, even.  You need it to catch the babel fish.</description>
