The Road to the Bridge to Nowhere

Somebody please tell moose killer Palin or her speech wtiters that Republicans are about to increase taxes on all Americans by 700 billion. That's 700 billion in Republican tax increases not done by Obama.

Aerica's lying Al-Qeada is at it again. You support a Marxist because he is an OREO!

Liberal media and Democrats are America's Al-Qeada

Also quite troubling is that Ms. Palin first embraced the "troopergate" investigation, giving well publicized painted lip service to "transparency" and having "nothing to hide."

Now, Ms. Palin and her family are refusing to comply with lawful investigative subpoenas. Their refusal is itself quite transparent. I am not sure why the public is not even more troubled by her flip-flop.

This may be another instance of McCain failing to properly investigate before making a decision about a running mate, or simply knuckling under to pressure from the forced pregnancy lobby. It certainly does not bode well for our beloved country if they are elected

No Obama!

You see what Obama's 300 Foreign policy advisers have come up with now.
What is this bridge in Alaska. I think it is a bridge Obama wants to build to Russia so he can bring more of his Commie buddies over and help his trash out America. Next Obama wants to build a bridge to Cuba. Those Cuban Ghetto babes are real hot man.

Obama you stupid twit you are running for President against John McCain and not for gov of Alaska.
Hey Dems can your inane remarks . McCain and Palin will win then the arrest will begin starting with Howard Daen.

will someone who really knows about the troopergate tell me what the hell is so important that the dem haved to keep it going when bama has crooked friends that are helping him win the pres.. my god they have nothing on palin butcrappy stuff that has nothing to do with the country..now they have her having affairs... bama has been running for 1 year and yet nothing has been said about him having affairs and hes not home much and sees lots of women who would loved to haved one with him. especially rich white women

Most of the ppl that post a blogg dont even know if what they are writing is even the truth... how many of you have met Paling in person.. all u are doing is gossiping what u read thats other ppl opinion..

God but some of the comments about Obama are stupid. Everything from oreos to commies to Muslims.

I think the annoyance with Palin re: The Bridge is due to her using it constantly to make a huge point in her favor. Whatever anyone else did or didn't support or do, when you're running so much on a certain issue that you repeat it at several times a day, and people have constantly pointed out that you're lying, and you keep saying it anyway, it's extremely hypocritical.

Biden's history of lies and lifted quotes

OH, POOR BOB BON! WHO ARE THE "YOU ALL" WHO ARE AFRAID OF PALIN? i AM NOT AFRAID OF PALIN. I AM AMUSED BY HER. SINCE I AM VOTING FOR GOOD JUDGMENT, ECONOMIC ISSUES AND WAR ISSUES AND NOT "BEDROOM ISSUES" AS WAS DONE IN THE YEAR 2000 SELECTION AND THE 2004 ELECTION, I AM VOTING FOR SENATORS OBAMA AND BIDEN

Obama's Che Poster "HOPE"? Should say "DOPE" this guy is dumber than GW Bush. Biden is tied for 1st with this thin skin Hussien. POCKET CHANGE IS ALL YOU WILL GET FROM THESE TWO & CHANGE FOR THE BITTER. Mean Spitit Amarosa Michelle? No thanks. GD America? GD the Obama's and O'Biden!

There is nothing mysterious about Palin's actions on behalf of Alaska. She did all she could to get all the Federal Tax dollars she could and never turned back any of the money for The Bridge to Nowhere. Now she and McCain lie again and again in ads that are totally misleading. She now opposes the investigation into Trooper Gate. McCain has been all for helping his rich friends and supporters keep their tax breaks while increasing the burden of the middle class, yet his ads sound like Barack is the big spender. Behold the biggest spending in history has been supported by McCain to benefit the wealthiest and Big Oil. McCain is no Maverick, his campaign is led by lobbyists.

McCain is so ready to be president that you guys can't think of anything else to bring up but rehashing this bridge to nowhere over and over. It's getting old, no one is even talking about Biden he is so boring. If this lady wasn't such a threat to you, you obviously would move on to something else but you can't. Sad.

StoneMan you need to live in Alaska with the polar bear.Have a nice life.

yeah liberal media and democrates are alquda so by that logic fixed news and neo cons are nazis, so has that name calling gotten us anywhere, mccain palin actually equal secend even greater depression with the help of george bush

My Reply
Jan I think I agree with you. Theses blogs are dominated by a elitist groups such as Unusable Signals and others who support an Obama agenda at any cost. They keep repeating bad things about Sarah Palin. And It is great for Republicans. Lots of us slam them.
Unfortunately I believe there is huge Cultural disconnect with Obama and the majority of Americans. I also believe that people with evil and criminal intention for the USA are part of Obama's Camp.
I also believe Obama's Muslim sympathies and associates are fair game. I mention the Marriott hotel bombing yesterday in Pakistan as evidencce of Muslims gone mad.

Jan for me, it is a level of involvement issue here. There is a huge amount on Obama info out there that needs to be brought forward. I think Obama's violation of the Logan act , the Murders in Arkansas are worthwhile issues. The blogs are very effective a forcing the truth out. Check out the NY Post Article on Obama and the troop withdrawal levels in Iraq,if you so desire
The fact is Obama has lots of baggage and is trying every distraction technique known to man, to hide the truth about himself and many of his key supporters and their true vision for a Socialist America.
Sorry Jan its more than about milk and cookies. The whole damn ball of wax is up for grabs. Obama brought the fight to the streets and that is unfortunately where it is going to stay. That is the message from Obama. The street is re where many, (not all) of his supporters and campaign workers come from. I've had to fight off street thugs in real life and it is one unpleasant experience. I believe we are in for more of this until November and it will be one unpleasant experience dealing with the Obama camp. Obama has one of the largest group of so called think tank people ever assembled. And all he can come up with is the Bridge to Nowhere?
Jan, I have no annoyance with Palin. My annoyance is with the Democrats trying to shoot her down and smearing her and making vulgar and disgusting remarks about her. They will reap their harvest by losing in November.

It's funny how all the men AND women "LOVE" the idea of a Mother, Wife, Child Bearer, Moral Support ie., "couldn't do it without her", NEED her, REPRESENT US, but now take their own SELFISH desires and can put a woman down that "MIGHT" just be able to stand for them both!! So much for the so-called Women Supporters, So much for the "it's a Mans' World" Supporters.... Sad for America!
McCain/Palin08!

I hope Sarah goes out and buys a $300,000 snow sled so we can see and hear more whining. Oh, and she should buy one for Todd too.

Joe:
As I said in response to your stupidity on one of the other blogs: you're a fucking idiot--and a liar.

Ignorance has no color. Think about it...

THIS IS YOUR NATION ON WHITE PRIVILEGE

By Tim Wise

For those who still can't grasp the concept of white privilege, or who are constantly looking for some easy-to-understand examples of it, perhaps this list will help.

White privilege is when you can get pregnant at seventeen like Bristol Palin and everyone is quick to insist that your life and that of your family is a personal matter, and that no one has a right to judge you or your parents, because "every family has challenges," even as black and Latino families with similar "challenges" are regularly typified as irresponsible, pathological and arbiters of social decay.

White privilege is when you can call yourself a "fuckin' redneck," like Bristol Palin's boyfriend does, and talk about how if anyone messes with you, you'll "kick their fuckin' ass," and talk about how you like to "shoot shit" for fun, and still be viewed as a responsible, all-American boy (and a great son-in-law to be) rather than a thug.

White privilege is when you can attend four different colleges in six years like Sarah Palin did (one of which you basically failed out of, then returned to after making up some coursework at a community college), and no one questions your intelligence or commitment to achievement, whereas a person of color who did this would be viewed as unfit for college, and probably someone who only got in in the first place because of affirmative action.

White privilege is when you can claim that being mayor of a town smaller than most medium-sized colleges, and then Governor of a state with about the same number of people as the lower fifth of the island of Manhattan, makes you ready to potentially be president, and people don't all piss on themselves with laughter, while being a black U.S. Senator, two-term state Senator, and constitutional law scholar, means you're "untested."?

White privilege is being able to say that you support the words "under God" in the pledge of allegiance because "if it was good enough for the founding fathers, it's good enough for me," and not be immediately disqualified from holding office--since, after all, the pledge was written in the late 1800s and the "under God" part wasn't added until the 1950s--while believing that reading accused criminals and terrorists their rights (because, ya know, the Constitution, which you used to teach at a prestigious law school requires it), is a dangerous and silly idea only supported by mushy liberals.?

White privilege is being able to be a gun enthusiast and not make people immediately scared of you.?

White privilege is being able to have a husband who was a member of an extremist political party that wants your state to secede from the Union, and whose motto was "Alaska first," and no one questions your patriotism or that of your family, while if you're black and your spouse merely fails to come to a 9/11 memorial so she can be home with her kids on the first day of school, people immediately think she's being disrespectful.?

White privilege is being able to make fun of community organizers and the work they do--like, among other things, fight for the right of women to vote, or for civil rights, or the 8-hour workday, or an end to child labor--and people think you're being pithy and tough, but if you merely question the experience of a small town mayor and 18-month governor with no foreign policy expertise beyond a class she took in college--you're somehow being mean, or even sexist.?

White privilege is being able to convince white women who don't even agree with you on any substantive issue to vote for you and your running mate anyway, because all of a sudden your presence on the ticket has inspired confidence in these same white women, and made them give your party a "second look."?

White privilege is being able to fire people who didn't support your political campaigns and not be accused of abusing your power or being a typical politician who engages in favoritism, while being black and merely knowing some folks from the old-line political machines in Chicago means you must be corrupt.?

White privilege is being able to attend churches over the years whose pastors say that people who voted for John Kerry or merely criticize George W. Bush are going to hell, and that the U.S. is an explicitly Christian nation and the job of Christians is to bring Christian theological principles into government, and who bring in speakers who say the conflict in the Middle East is God's punishment on Jews for rejecting Jesus, and everyone can still think you're just a good church-going Christian, but if you're black and friends with a black pastor who has noted (as have Colin Powell and the U.S. Department of Defense) that terrorist attacks are often the result of U.S. foreign policy and who talks about the history of racism and its effect on black people, you're an extremist who probably hates America.?

White privilege is not knowing what the Bush Doctrine is when asked by a reporter, and then people get angry at the reporter for asking you such a "trick question," while being black and merely refusing to give one-word answers to the queries of Bill O'Reilly means you're dodging the question, or trying to seem overly intellectual and nuanced.?

White privilege is being able to claim your experience as a POW has anything at all to do with your fitness for president, while being black and experiencing racism is, as Sarah Palin has referred to it a "light" burden.?

And finally, white privilege is the only thing that could possibly allow someone to become president when he has voted with George W. Bush 90 percent of the time, even as unemployment is skyrocketing, people are losing their homes, inflation is rising, and the U.S. is increasingly isolated from world opinion, just because white voters aren't sure about that whole "change" thing. Ya know, it's just too vague and ill-defined, unlike, say, four more years of the same, which is very concrete and certain…?

White privilege is, in short, the problem.
