Russell, Simon et al
read the clive crook respect post and subsequent posts and feedback to really understand how badly you and the Dems are blowing your cause.

Sage -- seeing as both were in an election race against Obama, and thus were going to say that, no.
Karl Rove, on the other hand, is now an analyst for 'fair and balanced' Fox News, and thus should have some modicum of decency.
Candidates can say what they like but commentators need to be balanced. Riiiiigggghhhht!!!! :^)
Sorry Just Milly I was on wrong page to see your name properly.

Craig - Evangelicals being evangelical. Wow.
God is angry, God gets a pass that someone invoking the all powerful to damn America does not. Is that difficult to understand? :)
The moral equivalence of Obama non decision vs McCain non attendance escapes me. It seems reasonably grown up and accepted now that Clark, Blair etc missed lots of votes on the floor of the house because they were busy with other things. As long as they get there for the important votes. Actually I am struck by the comparison with those MEP who turn up in order to be paid.
Your arguments are getting weaker guys.
On the other hand I have had more of a look at Monegan. If Bailey does testify I am sure there will be discussions with but plausible deniability for Palin prior to Bailey et al making the calls. She did not seem to initiate a full on witch hunt and given her willingness to sack any number of other staffers she may well get away with sacking Monegan.
I think she will get a pass on the post cover up because she intiiated her own investigation and came clean. It being a generally accepted principle of justice that you are allowed to make investigations in your own defence rather than simply relying on the prosecution.
She might get a slap but I very much doubt it would cause her to drop off the ticket.
To Jilly? I prefer a rare steak to salad. I offer you this one defining point of difference as the reason for all the excitement and the reason she is on the ticket.
Palin took on corruption in her own party and won.

Bob - onya for at least attempting.
If you are worried about your next election, the present vote gives you political cover,” said Kent D. Redfield
indeed.
Lawmakers and other Illinois officials said the present vote was devised to enable lawmakers to recuse themselves from voting on bills that present personal conflicts.
Its obviously about the career rather than doing your duty to those who elected you the last time.

Sagacity, I note, is a descriptor that is bestowed upon one by others, not oneself
What? You mean like my ancestors? We were thrown out of France hundreds of years ago for being annoying (and Protestant). I trust you will enjoy the family traits. :^)

Jake - so I guess Obama should stand down after Biden and Clinton both said he was unfit to lead and McCain was preferable.
-
Craig - The treatment of the $60m makes it not a lie. But I guess we will just have to disagree on that point. Perhaps not everyone had their eye on the whitehouse right from the start and framed all 130 of their non decisions on the basis of how they would play in the media.
the fact she backed her town while mayor is being pitched as something bad. New Zealand has seen the impact of being good global citizens on trade when it eliminated its subsidies 20 years ago. Its part of the reason we fall further behind the global economy. I believe in free trade but negotiation is never about giving away everything you have at the start.

those criticisms really hurt.
Irony does not really come across well on this internet thingy does it? Unless you use a smiley. But ups to you Paul.
Personally the Kos/Huffington/Sullivan/Brown frenzy over whether Palin was pretending her daughters child was her own is a wild conspiracy.
Craig - McCain has walked the bipartisan walk for decades. Unlike Obama and his 130 "Present". btw does anyone want to respond to that outstanding example of decisiveness & leadership.
Now that Simon has validated the general history. Does anyone want to address the likelihood of the Russian bear or Iran deciding to up the stakes and challenge Obama. Krushchev tested Kennedy and someone will test Obama. That will make the world a very dangerous place, but does anyone really think McCain will be tested in the same way?

Craig - oh ffs seriously. You supply a video that does not even play the reporters question.
"Sarah Palin - Have you ever eaten a Democrat for breakfast?"
Refer to "threats" without going into any detail about them and then have an in depth interview with a Democrat.
I dont know enough about that issue but for all I know Palin might have behaved entirely correctly in acting to dismiss a State Trooper making threats.
