Obama to speak on birth certificate

Do you think the ad was run before the campaign, or as a part of the campaign? This is the first I've heard of a candidate running ads, then campaigning later and changing his image.

McCain ran as a "maverick". After the election, then he said he wasn't a maverick. McCain did more flip flops than the house of Pancakes, so that one is no surprise.

You are missing a very simple point.

McCain was know as a "maverick" long before his 2008 campaign.

Do you understand that now?
 
But they are not prominent figureheads of the party, there are GOP members who say terrible racist things about Obama, but I'm not going to attribute those faults to their elected officials or to the party in general.


Such as? and please include the entire quotes in context so that we can observe them.

McCain, Rush, and plenty on the right have attacked children.. Don't pretend like it's a disease only the left suffers from.. :roll:

As a matter of fact it is the right who has the reoutation of protecting children, especially as far as abortion and parental responsibilities are concerned.

It is the left who advocates abortion, celebrates single parenthood, dismisses parental responsibilities and makes fun of children with learning disabilities.

If you can show me any person you deem to be of 'the right' who attacks children I will immediately condemn such ignorance, and never fall back on the defense that everyone does it.

He sure was, a label given him by an adoring press that loved how he bucked those in his own party. See, libs in the media love repubs when they down talk, or vote against their own party in favor of liberal ideas, but then attack them when they don't.

This is what Palin actually said for those who never bothered to look it up.

She's the one that made the comment, we're just the ones mocking the stupidity of it.

Well, it certainly does because our -- our next door neighbors are foreign countries. They're in the state that I am the executive of. And there in Russia ... We have trade missions back and forth. We-- we do-- it's very important when you consider even national security issues with Russia as Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where-- where do they go? It's Alaska. It's just right over the border. It is-- from Alaska that we send those out to make sure that an eye is being kept on this very powerful nation, Russia, because they are right there. They are right next to-- to our state." --Sarah Palin, asked by Katie Couric how Alaska's proximity to Russia gives her foreign policy experience, CBS News interview, Sept. 24, 2008 (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/09/25…


"They're our next door neighbors and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska." --Sarah Palin, on her foreign policy insights into Russia, ABC News interview, Sept. 11, 2008 (http://politicalhumor.about.com/od/sarah…

Nobody in THIS THREAD has made a comment regarding Palin's children, so I'm unsure why you would bring this up for no apparent reason.

The reason is quite simple.

It's yet another example of the left going after people personally. The lefty media went after her children and the liberals sat back with a bucket of popcorn, a big smile, and watched the show.

If anyone on the right had gone after 0bama's kids they would have been savaged in the press from both sides and you know it.

Then lets see these terrible things about Obama and condemn them and not remain silent or, worse, make odious defensive claims that everyone does it?
 
Obama was the President of the Harvard Law Review, how in hell does that not constitute Executive experience, or in your words "being in charge of something"?

Please tell me this is another joke I missed. Please.

Palin couldn't finish a term governing a state with a population smaller than LA

She could have. She chose not to. A big fat mistake IMO.
 
Bloggers, I know did. Exactly who on the left went after her family? I am not denying it, but I never saw it for myself.

You don't remember the BS about her youngest child was actually not hers?

I know about Limbaugh and he was souldly hammered for it from both sides.

What did McCain do?

I beg you, enlighten me how I'm wrong and how being in charge of a law review does not constitute as leadership experience. For that matter what executive experience did Lincoln have before being elected POTUS? Using your logic he was a poor choice of president.
 
Well, he said he had to specially request the long bc. He only had the short one. If he had the long one, why would he have only posted his short form and requested the long one? :lol:

He says lots of things and most of it is lies
 
Seriously? Go on any Fox News thread regarding Obama and count the racial slurs.

Worst | Fox News Comments
Look at the comment regarding chaining Obama's family to the Amistad.

And then there's Rush
Top 10 Rush Limbaugh Racist Quotes | News One


the first site, I am guessing that either 1) Liberals got in there and typed these up themselves, or 2) they don't really exist on the offical FNC site. It looks made up to me.

Second link shows no context. Is that what you really want to stand on?

Really? A collage law review counts as exec experience? Ok, lay out what his duties, and responsibilities were during that period.

She got asked how what foreign experience she had and her answer was essentially "we're close to Russia and they stop by here alot" Do you not see the idiocy of that?

I personally found Letterman's joke to be in bad taste, same goes with most of what Bill Maher says. But believe it or not a few comedians don't represent EVERY member of the Democratic party, the same way Dennis Miller doesn't represent Conservatives.

How do we even know he served there since all records are sealed?

Geez, you were not kidding. Yikes!

You forgot to add that he's head of his household so that counts as executive experience too. The list there is almost endless:

Executive Director of walking the dog.

Executive Director of the "man cave".

Executive Director of repair and maintenance.

Executive Director of garbage removal.

Executive Director of grounds maintenance.


I’m sure you can think of some more.

No. By "coming over" she means Russian military aircraft skirting US airspace like they did during the cold war.

But I agree. This was not a well thought out comment to say the least.

IIRC the president acts as an Editor in Chief of sorts , so he essentially was the head figure of the most prestigious law periodical in the world.
