Interesting article on the Electoral makeup showing McCain/Palin are not in big trouble at all.

Not true. He commanded the largest land-based air wing in the Navy. That would be... an executive position.
I find it interesting that Obama made an impassioned plea against bringing up character in the election - especially since both he and Biden have serious character issues.
Looking at Governor Palin's relative inexperience vis-a-vis foreign affairs - I'd trust her judgement based on her proven character over Obama's mildly more experience due to his very serious character and judgement flaws.
Character does matter. It matters in business, it matters in your personal life and it matters in politics.
I'm astounded that 'our saviour' of the Obama Nation would discount this.
My bad, you are right. I should of pointed out the Walter Reed deal, my main point was the Germany slip, and my words skewed what I was going for.Quote:
Seriously? You're better than this. I am genuinely disappointed
Touche.;)
obama vs. palin

the only change I would make: Palin: Pro-Life Obama: Pro Killing babies
Note Jack, that I said tax the rich more than the poor. I'm speaking of a graduated tax system where everyone pays according to ability. I'm saying EVERYONE contributes, that's what you're missing. I do believe that everyone has the right to at least a roof over their head, food in their belly, and access to some way to better themselves. I disagree with giving direct monetary hand outs. Less food stamps, more gov'ment cheese if you will. I do believe the government should directly support higher education. It's an investment on the future tax base.

If by a graduated tax system you mean a flat tax, so everyone pays the same percentage as everyone else, so the rich put in more actual dollars, and the poor who can't afford it less because the universal tax rate automatically adjusts, I am all for that, BUT if you mean graduate like the more money you make the higher your rate is, then that is a really bad idea.
10% of 10,000.00 is $1000.00 in taxes a year.
10% of $100,000.00 is $10,000.00 a year.
Under a flat tax, the higher earners are STILL paying vastly more than the lower earners So the actual dollars are graduated like that.

Please, educate yourselves.
Holy ****. You people can't really think this ****, can you? I mean there's got to be some sort of logical processing going on up there.
It is VERY important that this quote is thoroughly disproven:
"The volatile issue of teaching creation science in public schools popped up in the Alaska governor's race this week when Republican Sarah Palin said she thinks creationism should be taught alongside evolution in the state's public classrooms.
Palin was answering a question from the moderator near the conclusion of Wednesday night's televised debate on KAKM Channel 7 when she said, "Teach both. You know, don't be afraid of information. Healthy debate is so important, and it's so valuable in our schools. I am a proponent of teaching both."
Couldn't resist
