People you have got to see this truth !

oh COME ON!!!!

Do you really think the election is going to make a difference? Look at the paper today - we are FUCKED regardless.

Polly I'm just curious with all the fraud crap going on and courts are already involved in ohio, This election is already a cluster fuck which is going to be decided by the courts again. And all of us that register and vote legally are going to get screwed again, why do you bother with the bullshit stuff?

Right now in front of our very eyes some form of a massive election overhaul will have to take place and depending how they do it could turn this country on its head.

I've already had 6+ years of the Republicans doing that to me.

It's way past time to see if the D's can do any better.

Brwnstown, I have been working madly, and screaming loudly for years about the need for election reform beginning with the removal of that dayum Electoral College and ending with the abolition of dynasties in the House and Senate. We need much change in our system and no one listens. We need term limits to keep the congresscritters honest, but we won't get it.

I'm so frustrated with the system I swear there are times I could chew nails.

But, this has to be done. bush has taken our country to it's knees.

Mcbush would drive us into the ground.

Polly and your detractors, look at this. It should tell you where Palin stands with minorities:

Polly, don't you know who helped get us into this fiancial mess? It was your democrats that we have to thank.

It is not a party problem. IT'S NOT A PARTY PROBLEM!!!!

:exasperation:

That's rather telling, isn't it?

Three Harlem voters picked Obama because of his "pro-life" and "pro-continuation of the Iraq Occupation" stands, and all three believed he made the right choice in picking Sarah Palin as Vice-President and think she'll do a good job.

But I'm sure you understand that what you heard is not an indication of "racism". "Racism" is rampant with and shown only with European-Americans.

The very fact that you posted that YouTube is proof that you're a racist, too!

Pollyannuh, you need to straighten these people out!

Thank you, A.C., Palin IS NOT VP MATERIAL - this is from your link:

Alaskan Blacks: Palin didn’t reach out, blocked access to government jobs

by Linn Washington Jr.

PHILADELPHIA–While many across America consider Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin some kind of phenomenon, many Blacks in Alaska see the governor of their state as a person not interested in the inclusive posture of her predecessors.

“Blacks don’t have the levels of access to the governor and state commissioners as with past administrations,” said attorney Rex Butler, an Alaska resident since 1983. “It seems the posture of (Palin’s) administration with Blacks is: Don’t need them—don’t worry about them.”

Eleanor Andrews, board chair of the Anchorage Urban League, said she is unaware of any programs or outreach to Alaska’s Black community by Palin.

“It’s not a disengagement, it’s just no connection. She does not have relations with African-Americans,” said Andrews, a businesswoman and 44-year resident of Alaska.

Alaskan Blacks fault Palin for not hiring African-Americans for her administration, dismissing Blacks from government posts and spurning repeated requests to meet with Black leaders to discuss issues of concern.

Palin’s increasingly rocky relations with Alaska’s Black community seeped down to the “Lower 48” weeks ago, following an Internet posting by the president of Alaska’s African-American Historical Society, Gwendolyn Alexander, who detailed controversies such as Palin’s staffing practices, Palin allegedly stating she “doesn’t have to hire any Blacks” for major projects and her refusal to attend that state’s major African-American celebration—Juneteenth.

Palin denies telling Black leaders she did not intend to hire Blacks in her state where African-Americans comprise 4 percent of the population.

Palin, through spokespeople, defends her staffing record, citing that top aides and advisers include a Filipino, a Korean and a person of mixed African-American ancestry.

“I’m African-American, and I am a big rebuttal to those charges,” said Bill McAllister, Gov. Palin’s press secretary and former broadcast journalist.

“She is not averse to hiring African-Americans,” said McAllister, who joined Palin’s staff two months ago. McAllister said Palin’s office “never” compiled statistics on minorities in her administration.

The Rev. Alonzo B. Patterson chuckles at Palin’s claims of being color-blind, saying she’s “not sensitive to (having) African-Americans in her administration.”

Patterson, who’s worked closely with previous governors, mayors and other elected officials during his 45 years in Alaska, feels Palin has “totally departed from the past practices” of previous Alaska governors.

“Past administrations have had Black administrative assistants to the governor, state commissioners and department leaders,” said Patterson, who served as chair of Alaska’s Board of Paroles for 13 years.

McAllister said Palin “hires on the basis of merit” not ethnicity, gender or race, one frequently cited example of Palin’s crony-based appointments is her elevation of a high school classmate to the $95,000-a-year post heading the State Division of Agriculture. Palin defended that appointment citing this real estate agent’s childhood love of cows.

McAllister termed the agriculture appointment as “not major” because Alaska does not have much agriculture.

McAllister said Palin’s hiring of political opponents for important posts shows she does not hire only “within a circle of friends.”

Earlier this year, Patterson participated in a meeting of Black leaders with Palin. This meeting followed months of requests to Palin.

“We gave her a list of concerns and have received no response,” said Patterson, pastor of Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church in Anchorage.

Concerns presented by this group included hiring minorities at all levels of state government plus contracting and employment practices in major projects like the planned new pipeline construction project.

This group also invited Palin to participate in a town meeting during the summer with other racial and ethnic minorities in Alaska to discuss issues of common concern including economic growth, educational deficiencies, family disintegration and young gang problems. Palin spurned that invitation.

“She has not met with us since that March meeting,” Patterson said. “I think she was intimidated by us not being intimidated by her.”

Patterson heads the American Baptist Churches of Alaska and that state’s Martin Luther King Jr. Foundation.

A person from the area of Wasilla, the city where Palin served as mayor, said she’s very vindictive, a behavior pattern that chills criticism of her.

While commending Palin as an enchanting person with maverick ways, the person said, “Sarah is not ready” for the office she holds or higher office. This person did note that Palin’s employment practices may not be as discriminatory as they appear because “she is devoted to her people and there are few Blacks in Wasilla.”

Sarah Palin burst on the national stage as Sen. John McCain’s running mate during the GOP Convention that had the lowest number of Black delegates in 40 years.

McCain has received an F on the NAACP Congressional Report Card during 11 of the past 13 reporting periods. (During McCain’s two runs for president, the NAACP provided no grade for him.)

Palin’s rocky relations with Blacks in her state mirrors relations with Alaska’s native peoples, according to published accounts primarily from leaders and experts in that community.

Many in Alaska feel Blacks are not being treated fairly by Palin.

Why is it racist to show how stupid people are that are voting for Obama??????????????????????????????

Duncan, I can no longer watch youtube videos though I can link TO them. My flash player is kaput and no amount of downloading it makes it stick. When I view a video here at GLP a box will come up later saying that a script is slowing my computer, do I want to abort it, and my computer goes screwy.

After that lengthy explaination, what exactly is in the video?

Thanks, Duncan.

I think I'm getting the gist of the video.

Thanks.

Palin is a religous nut who gives good well meaning christans a bad name. She takes the basics of religon(living a good moral life) and uses it to support her own radical agenda. The people who show up to her rallys are even scarier because they belive the garbage that comes out of her mouth. She passes herself off as a good christan who represents small town America. She passes herself off as a normal "stupid" American. She sells this image very well. When in fact she is anything but. She is WAY more intelligent then she passes herself as. She finds ways to cleverily insuate that Obama is a terrorist muslim every day without ever using the words terrorist or muslim. She sells herself to the right wing base of the Republican party beutifully. This is the exact right wing base that was going to stay home on election day because they didnt like McCain. When she was first announced as the VP candidate I ,like many others on this forum, thought that it was the nail in the coffin for McCain. I couldnt have been more wrong. I forgot how stupid the right wing base of the Red party is. This election is way closer then the media is reporting. They are selling the election as an Obama landslide. This will cause some Obama voters to stay home because hes gonna win anyway. John McCain WILL win Florida. Jed Bush is in control of Florida. Florida is a VERY important swing state. John McCain will win Ohio if we see the same corruption that happened in Ohio last time(long lines in blue counties, voters being purged from registration,minority intimidation). McCain will win the southern states that the media says will go to Obama. These Jim Crowe states will NOT allow thier state to vote for a black president. Its just not gonna happen its a media fantasy. If we learned anything from the last two presidential elections its that the Republicans will do ANYTHING to win, No matter how blatant the fraud is they will DO IT!!! And they will do it because we will let them. In the year 2000 we allowed our country to become a dictatorship the people who took control of this dictatorship will not give up thier power. In the year 2000 during the Bush campaign he gave a quote while standing next to his brother smiling"We will win Florida you can write it down." Based on the exit polling he lost Florida that is why CNN and NBC reported that Gore won Florida. Because he did. They were then FORCED to say they were wrong and Florida was too close to call. Then they did a recount and it was stopped by the Supreme Court because they knew Gore had won Florida.

Well stated syopsis and probably accurate predictions, FU.

They are desperate, and we all know what cornered rats do.

Yes, the left wingers who hate Palin need to stop HELPING her sell the image that she is just another dumb religous hockey mom(Im talking to you BILL MAHR) because that is EXACTLY what these McCain/ Palin and Bush/Cheny voters are looking for. A nice white christan adminstration that will get rid of abortion. They WANT a candidate that gets advice from god. They WANT a candidate that thinks birth control is immoral. They WANT a candidate that says its OK for them to have 5, 6 or 7 kids. They WANT a candidate that will GIVE them more money for every new child they have.

We also wants a check every month.

Of course this doesn't surprise me. If you didn't go to Wasilla High, attend her prayer meetings, support her decisions and beliefs 100%, dare to challenge, you're no good to her. She has this tendency to pick issues (and, no doubt, employees as well) on a "token" basis to point out "See!" -- Just a ploy. There's 10 things, 9 of them are crap, 1 is decent, and she points out the 1, ignoring and dismissing the other 9 as if they doesn't exist (don't matter to her is more like it!). Branchflower Findings, case in point. Creating and living in her fantasy reality. Racist ? Bigot ? You betcha, dog-gone-it! Borderline Personality. Narcissistic Personality. Sociopathy. Psychotic features. (Oh, yeah -- S.A.D., too, given the tanning bed.) Yup. A real gem, that one. Let's install her in the White House. Geesh !

YES EXACTLY!! But she is also a superub saleswoman. Shes like that guy at the used car dealership that talks you into buying a car that brakes down a week later. Shes selling stupid to stupid America. Shes like the people who call you during the day and talk you into taking magazine subscriptions because you think you might win a million dollars. She is selling an image. An image that is not her own. She did not rise to power in such a quick fashion because she is stupid. This was not an accident.

Polly-o is a fucking left-wing hippie soap-fearing liberal nitwit. She is very jealous and envious of our Sarah.
No doubt, she has green eyes.....

You are so ill-informed it is vomit-inducing.

Palin is FOR birth control ( contraception ), but against murdering children via abortion. If you don't understand the difference, you are a moron.

Left-wing LOONIES are trying to take a normal, successful, intelligent woman, and paint her into something "scary".

THAT is un-American and evil.

Palin would be GREAT for America.

Show me a quote with a link that she endorses birth control. And how the FUCK can you be against abortion and call it murder BUT AT THE SAME TIME be for sending young adults to two wars that are bullshit with no end in sight. Thier is NO plan to win these wars. There is no definition for what winning in either war is. Except, the pipe dream that we will somehow make these two countries into democracies. How can anyone vote for someone whose policies are so contradictary. Oh, thats right abortion voters only care about one issue ABORTION. Thats how dumb they are. They also have NO PLAN on how we would take care of and feed all the new babies that this country would have. DO YOU THINK THE PARENTS WHO DIDNT WANT THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE WILL DO IT??? WHOSE GONNA DO IT??? YOU???

Actually, the left-wing LOONIES are wrenching in their guts that a wholesome woman will be vice president soon.
Sarah is completely opposite to what the left-wing soap-fearing hippie liberals stand for.

She is putting the fear of God in them, and they are not comfortable with that feeling.

Weak argument....you fail. Abortion has absolutely nothing to do with sending people off to war.
Try staying on the same page....you sound like you will be voting for messiah the great one obama.....

I guess you missed the first debate?
Obama wants to expand the war in afghan. and pakistan so no matter who wins there will be war.

Oh yes it does relate to war. Yes it does. When you call abortion murder it relates war. When you send AMERICAN troops(some who are close personal friends who I grew up with) to TWO unwinable wars and ask them to put THIER lives on the line it relates to war. When you stand on your soapbox and call abortion immoral and murder it relates to war. How is sending troops to DIE for TWO unecesary wars NOT MURDER TOO?? And WHERE is your or any other pro-lifers plan on HOW TO TAKE CARE of all the new un-wanted childern at?? WHERE IS IT?? How do we pay for it?? Whose gonna take care of the kids???

Well spoken, Polly-o....as a staunch conservative, I must say that there is nothing in the above paragraph I can argue against. You are right on the money!

Well, I just upped my opinion about you....you are bright.
You must be bright enough to realize that neither candidate will serve the people well. One is a capitalist, the other is a socialist....and we?.....we are screeeewedd....

How pathetic are those who will just not see?

Palin is no more "normal" and "intelligent" than bush. In fact, (borrowing form a statement I read recently), Palin
makes Dan Quayle look like Einstein.

She's GUILTY OF ABUSE OF POWER because she apparently holds grudges, and vendettas, is unqualified to be PTA president let alone vp, is uneducated, 6 junior colleges and state colleges in 6 years, she LIES baldfaced, and is rumored to have extra-marital affairs by published sources.

Normal, sucessful, intelligent Christian woman??

Palin needs to go home to Alaska and let them decide what they're going to do to her.

She is anathema to the United States of America.

Abuse of power?....holds grudges?....is uneducated?....LIES baldfaced?....extra-marital affairs?.....

But but but...Polly-o, these are the very traits necessary to become an upstanding politician in the good 'ole U.S. of A. You can use that same standard to include 99.9% of ALL politicians.

Nothing new here.....try to find something that makes Palin different from other politicians...
