September 26, 2008 Palin: No Second
Guessing Israel's "Security Efforts"
It's all about good guys and bad guys to John MacCain's running mate. "We don’t
have to second-guess what their efforts would be if they believe … that
it is in their country and their allies, including us, all of our best interests
to fight against
a regime,
especially
Iran, who would seek to wipe them off the face of the earth," Palin
said. It is obvious to
me who the good guys are in this one and who the bad guys are. The bad
guys are the ones who say Israel is a stinking corpse and should be
wiped off the face of the earth. That’s not a good guy who is
saying that. Now, one who would seek to protect the good guys in this,
the
leaders
of Israel and her friends, her allies, including the United States,
in my world, those are the good guys.”

23, 2008 The Republican
Blame Game
Forget rapacious CEOs, regulation-busting politicians, and the lobbyists
that are keeping the whole system afloat (that is, until it got hit by
a torpedo and sank). Republicans have found the real culprit behind the
meltdown: Past Dem administrations and minority homeowners!

22, 2008 John McCain's
Keating 5 Scandal
John McCain's involvement in the Keating
5, a group of senators largely responsible for the savings and loan
crisis of the late 1980s foreshadowed almost exactly like what is
happening in
our economy right now, only on a smaller scale — an industry making
outrageously risky
deals, a lack of oversight, and politicians (including McCain) fighting
for less regulation over the offending industry, claiming the magical “free
market” would take care of any improprieties. And the ending was
the same, too — a massive taxpayer bailout.

September 16, 2008 Fox News Attacks
McCain Surrogate Fox's Megyn Kelly Grills Tucker Bounds On False Tax Claims.
"But you guys have suggested he’s going to raise taxes on
the middle class and virtually every independent analyst who took a
look at that claim said that’s not true. He’ll raise it
on people making $200,000 or $250,000, but not the middle class," Kelly
says." Let’s stay on point," Kelly continues, "I’m
not giving him any credit. I’m
saying what the independent analysts say. They say that claim is false. And if
that’s false, why would John McCain do that Tucker? Why wouldn’t
he just level with the voters and say, “look, he’s going to raise
taxes on the wealthy or whatever you consider somebody to be making over $250,000,
it’s going to have a trickle down effect. That may not be good for the
middle class.” But why say he’s going to raise taxes on the middle
class when he’s not?"

September 12, 2008 Your New Job
We all know something's out of whack when CEOs rake in hundreds of times
what their employees earn, and workers get the boot just for talking about
unions. It could almost be a bad joke if it weren't such a serious problem.
That's why we're hoping you take a minute to join one million people
in support
of the Employee
Free Choice Act after you watch this video.

KUTTNER: Are you going to let me have my two minutes?
HANNITY: Please. I don't care. Go right ahead. Walk off. You aid the economy

KUTTNER: It is in dire straits. You want to deny that, you fool?

live and it's not what they're good at, they blow it.
September 3, 2008 Former POW says
McCain is "not cut out to be President"
John McCain has been
exploiting his prisoner of war experience every chance he gets. He has

Vietnam is explaining loud and clear that being a POW does not qualify
McCain
to lead our country.

Joe Lieberman on his hopes and dreams for Barack Obama, March 2006: "As
far as I'm concerned [Barack Obama] is a 'Baruch,' which means a blessing.
He is a blessing to the United States Senate, to America,

God has given to Barack Obama are as enormous as his future is unlimited.

but the dreams we all have for him and our blessed country."
