John McCain and Sarah Palin, you are playing with fire, and you know it.

I disagree a little with Frank Shaeffer. McCain knows he’s playing with fire. Palin is too ignorant, of history and everything else, to understand.

jI just had the misfortune to see Gergen describe it to Colbert. He is not what one might consider, “sincere”? He only cares about his brand. He made a wild statement about stopping McSame or Palin, but he is speaking as though he is the voice of moderation rather than a paid political hack for the GOP. If everything someone says is a lie…… His statements to Cooper are clearly political damage control rather than any sentiment that he finds it repugnant. Perhaps he has no emotions. Most of the sociopaths are able to ignore the reaction most people have to hatred, insult, pain directed toward them with word or deed. I don’t see many “pundits” or politicians that share what many of us consider human feelings, or human behavior.
Kos has it right. It is time to break them. They are a society of criminals bent on control of our government for their own enrichment and to harm their enemies. Since their enemy is democracy and republican government and it’s core principles, breaking them is required. We do not have a justice department that would prosecute their own for any reason, up to and including treason, war crimes, high crimes, war profiteering…. . They have become a joke. I have regained some respect from David Iglesias now that he is actively pursuing those responsible for his sacking, even if he didn’t say anything when it crossed the criminal line prior to his being fired. But he was a republican US attorney that didn’t speak out about crimes until he was fired? Is this an indication of what the republican mentality is all about? How does anyone justify voting for a republican in this election? Our nation is half savage it appears. Half sheep, half terrorist.
We have allowed law and order to be broken and it is beyond repair due to the built in corruption. It has to be re invented, this system of justice.

red state dot com says “There was a conference call today on this topic (ACORN).”

I wonder who was on this “conference call.” Was it the McCain campaign or the RNC? (It’s weird to plainly state “psst, I got the new talking points, will report them to you soon.” How smart does one have to be to pass along talking points? I wouldn’t admit it so blatantly were it my web site.)

Well, seeing as how Lieberman’s big reason for supporting McCain is that Obama might not bomb Iran, I suspect he doesn’t much give a damn.

I know that she’ll be somewhere on TV. Maybe CBN Pat Robertson’s Network…no, not visible enough. You are probably correct about a spot on Fox.

They better have some good writers, though. She couldn’t possibly be more empty-headed. That’s why I disagree with the person above who felt that John McCain doesn’t know what’s going on in the campaign and that she’s the one responsible for this mess.

This was a calculated strategy from the get go. If the Republicans were behind by October, I expected this. Just couldn’t imagine how blatant it would be. God, it’s hard to imagine they could have less class than I would have given them credit for, but they honestly do.

I’m sure Sarah’s cementing her place as the leader of the wingnut brigade.

I’d bet $$ to donuts that, should Obama win, she’ll be awarded a nice FOX time slot in tradition of Hannity et’al. And maybe FOX evening news resident “energy expert” adviser.

Anyone else wondering how Joe Lieberman, John’s great and good friend, feels about all this race-baiting and rabble-rousing? When the Nazis used such divisive tactics in the late 30s and 40s, it was calamitous. If there is a spark of class left in Lieberman, he will denounce the road his friend has chosen to take. I am not holding my breath.

The biggest why is that McCain thinks it would be dishonorable to retreat now–works just like Iraq and is about as smart.

The why WRT McCain’s advisors who are pushing it (there are reports of disagreement on the lynch mobs)? Some, I think, want to delegitimize Obama going forward, soem are just trying to help down-ticket. I’m sure Sarah’s cementing her place as the leader of the wingnut brigade.
