McCain/Palin ???

[Jessika]

I was hoping he would have chosen Mitt Romney.

Hubby and I are HUGE Romney fans. If this election doesn't go in a desirable route I'm thinking of writing him in on my ballot.

Just read this over at CNN -

Barack Obama's campaign for president has raised $10 million since Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin spoke Wednesday night, the campaign announced, calling it a "one-day record."

Palin, the governor of Alaska, launched harsh attacks on Obama, accusing him of being two-faced and a political lightweight with no significant legislative accomplishments.

"Coverage of the Palin attacks on the news this evening just pushed us over $10 million," Obama spokeswoman Jen Psaki said in an e-mail to reporters Wednesday night.

The Republican Party announced earlier in the day it had raised $1 million in the wake of Palin's speech.

For donating money to a political campaign?


Errr... I plead the 5th.


I see it akin to paying the idiot tax. (AKA, the lottery.)

These are just my opinions of course.

Count me in as another one who has never given a thin dime to a political party and who has no intentions to do so in the future. My son contributed to Ron Paul's campaign so I guess the apple sometimes does fall far from the tree.

FYI, I have never donated to any political party. Now my husband is a different matter. He is a regular supporter of the Libertarians.

Memo to Sarah Palin -

Jesus was a community organizer,
Pontius Pilate was a governor.

GHWB was referring to community organizers/workers in his Thousand Points of Light speech all those years.

Without community organizers, this country would be in much worse condition than it currently is.

That spells Dem fear to me. They are worried now.

There is the fear factor... But then there is...

A.) Political Ads annoy me and it is what most of that money is spent on. These ads cater to the lowest common denominator. The voter who can be swayed by a 30 second sound bite. Sad, eh?

B.) I thought the Democratic party was the party of the 'common' man. The 'common' folks have enough money in this (according to the Dems), 'terrible economy' to donate 10 MILLION dollars in one day? Or could it be they are taking money from George Soros type 537 organizations? Or even, *shudder* EVIL corporations?


Whatever... LOL Then there was that line from BO, bragging about how much money he has spent so far... Yeah, not so sure that is something a POTUS candidate should brag about, eh? LOL

Oh boy are you right. Yesterday I spent two hours in the car on a round-trip to see my mom. In that two hour period Obama came on the radio with the same ad 4 times and it made me angry more than anything. A nurse practitioner is the speaker in the ad and she says that McCain's view on abortion will cause pain and possible death to women. HOW ABOUT THE FETUS?? The woman does have a choice. Sorry for being so graphic, but she can choose a "coat hanger" or choose to have the baby and give it up for adoption. Should she die from her own attempt at aborting the baby she has brought it upon herself. The baby has no choice at all. If I hear this ad again I will scream! Oh and my "friend" Nancy Pelosi (thank you for the spelling correction Liz) sees nothing wrong with partial birth abortion. How absolutely evil and barbaric!

They drive me crazy - especially the robo calls. We got one on Sunday afternoon, from McCain. Give him credit, when I called back the number listed on our caller ID, we were offered a choice - push button #1 and our number would be placed on their do-no-call list.

One down, hopefully none to go.

After the last election I spent lots of time trying to get our names, addresses and phone number removed from the databases of both political parties. So far it appears that only the Democrats got the message.

We dont' receive any calls from anyone. I wonder if it's because we have Vonage and the numbers aren't listed anywhere like the phone book or 411 unless we actually register it ourselves.

Makes me happy LOL at least that's one less place I have to be bombarded by it lol
