"In Remembrance of Me..."

By AndyA - Nov 22nd, 2008 at 9:11 am EST

Also listed in: Westchase for Obama

As Sarah Palin spoke cheerily into the camera, in plain view, behind her, Tom-the-turkey met the last measure of Alaskan “frontier justice” as he was loaded head first into the abattoir chute. We watched in amazement at the scene behind her, and could not hear what she was really saying. On the one hand, Tom-the-turkey’s head was wrenched off in front of us, and his blood drained into the gutter. On the other hand, she was oblivious of the carnage she enabled us to witness (shades of déjà vu?). She was so dismissive of the audience’s likely reaction or feelings, it was scary. My guess is, a multitude of ‘true-believer’ vegetarians were born on this day.

So, is she one of us? Hello, I don’t think so! Or, as Rachel Maddow would say, “Not so much.” Therefore, in remembrance of this episode would you say that she has, once again, exposed herself, and “the Empress has no clothes?” Is that why she is said to have “raided Nieman Marcus from coast to coast?” Tom-the-turkey lost his head; did Sarah lose hers too?

She keeps reminding us of what might have been our future. Let’s hope she keeps reminding us, for we are a forgetful people. Right on, Sarah, keep those camera opportunities clicking! In the last image I remember, she was smiling and her lips were moving behind that famous lipstick, but did I hear her say, “Vote Democratic?”

electoral predictions 2008: think 1992

By jonathan | cvg - Nov 3rd, 2008 at 10:34 am EST

Also listed in: 8 groups

so here we are: one day remaining. doesn't seem too long ago that i kept catching glimpses of this obama fellow in 2007 and thought how wonderful would it be... never expecting him to come this far up against edwards and clinton. as i have said before, from a marketing perspective, gaining a significant share of the market (in this case: eligible voters) is complicated in today's environment. any start-up firm would be hard pressed to snatch away a significant portion of p&g or coca cola customers. that same start-up firm would exemplify modern brilliance should it manage to overtake the market and gain control for any period of time. that is, in essence, what obama did in 2008. i recognized his potential. i praised his marketing campaign. yet, until super tuesday, i remained unconvinced that obama would succeed at becoming the nominee and beat the two well-established brands of edwards and clinton.

once we knew obama was our nominee, i often joked that the only way mccain stood a chance against obama was by selecting a female running mate. i certainly did not mean "that one." when mccain announced palin in dayton, i first cringed. then i googled her investigation to confirm that she had been exhonerated. to my surprise, his popular governor from alaska was still under investigation for abuse of power and likely guilty as hell. was the crime all that bad? not really. yet, just as getting a blow job or sticking a cigar in your chubby aide's kootch is not that bad... when you lie repeatedly and attempt to disguise your blunder... that is often far worse than the original crime. what people i have met and people like palin do not seem to understand, many of us are forgiving of a mistake or two... just not the pattern of lies or unfaithfulness that accompanies deception. its the compulsiveness, the ease, and the noticeable pattern that deteriorates and ultimately destroys trust.

needless to say, prior to the veep picks, i began imagining an electoral map in 2008 that mimics the map ross perot carved out for bill clinton in 1992. while initially i was nervous to see what became of clinton's stalwart supporters of which,in exit polls, many had proudly proclaimed gender as major factor in their support. however, with time, palin did backfire in the sense that she was ineffective at luring independents and former clinton voters. arguably, i assert that palin has been effective in igniting the base to match the sweat behind obama. only tomorrow will we know whether the fire palin lit in the far right-wing nuts of our country is burning strong or whether it turns out to be like a rash between your legs after a good date gone bad.

to refresh your memory, review the electoral map in 1992 where clinton pulled out a huge upset against the incumbent thanks to ross perot who remains the only successful third party candidate in modern elections.

first states i would point our are louisiana, kentucky, and tennessee. i knew this summer that those states were outside the realm of possibility. in fact, tennessee turned against gore in 2000 largely due to his environmental convictions. given that bobby jindal is about as far too the right as sarah palin, i assumed louisiana was also outside the realm of possibility despite the outcome in the primary in obama's favor. and kentucky... well that ole kentucky home is a thorn in my side, but i will defend her natural beauty until my dying day... just not the folks' politics. ross perot's impressive 18% popular vote splintered the would-be republican votes and carved out a victory for bill clinton in additional states that stay with mccain: arkansas, montana, and west virgnina. while its true that mccain's lead in arkansas is presently only in single digits, i was always hopeful that with help from bill and hillary, obama would remain more competitive as far south as arkansas.

like kentucky, west virginia seems to be very confused as to who has their best interest at heart. and, i might as well say it within this blog since i had to slam a door on my fingers a few weeks ago when i thought about writing a blog strictly targeting the separation of church and state. for those of you who forgot, we are suppose to acknowledge a separation of church and state! separation of church and state is among the founding principles of the united states of america. heads up people! when we fail to pratice our civil duties and vote for the best qualified leader to restore economic and foriegn matters because we want a candidate that agrees with the majority of our religious doctrine... hello... that is how you end up with george w. bush twice and the deteriorated condition of our country today. vote for the best candidate. don't vote based on religious convictions. if we transfer our country's power and wealth to china, russia. or the middle east... you may not have always have the freedom to practice that religion you love so much and wanted to shove down my throat.

obama appears to be strongly competing to win with an electoral map much like bill clinton's first win. the difference, and what makes this especially remarkable, obama will accomplish this without a strong third party candidate which means he is winning with a more united country and a greater percentage or the popular vote. a percentage not seen since the eighties. obama's net reduction would be 39 electoral votes after losing these five states which is still enough to make him the victor tomorrow. however, obama will likely and hopefully pick up states that even bill clinton could not win in 1992. according to new sources such as real clear politics, abc and msnbc news, toss up states include: montana, indiana, missouri, north carolina, ohio, georgia, virginia, and florida. the other three that are sometimes considered a toss-up are: nevada, north dakota, and arizona. however, i am relatively confident that nevada will break for obama and north dakota and arizona will break for mccain... albiet narrow victories no matter what the outcome. with that said, my electoral predicions for tomorrow night:

given the nature of a predicion, i have to make a few tough calls and my map is admitedly optimistic in the sense that i really want obama to win in north carolina and georgia and prevent mccain from narrowly squeaking by him. since the beginning of the summer, i have envisioned a 1992 map where obama gave up four or five states and replaced them florida, virginia, and georgia which is a net 51 electoral votes. the end result would be a few less states, but a greater electoral and popular vote win on election day for barack. based on a series of recent polls and early voting results, i feel good about viginia and florida.

i may still be overly optimistic about georgia, but it now looks like obama has an equally optimistic chance in north carolina so i moved both to obama's column. if you read my earlier blog during the primaries, i liked to mention obama's performance in north and south carolina. he alone, had more votes cast for him than mccain and his republican counterparts combined. early voting and polls show the margin in the general election tight in south carolina while virtually tied and potentially leaning to obama in north carolina. amazing! as for georgia, a relatively strong third party candidate in georgia, bob barr, could "help" tip that state to obama like ross perot did in 1992. barr polled around 8% this spring, but third party candidates generally poll better early than the final outcome because more and more voters fold into the two major parties. presently, "other" in georgia is at 4% and bob barr, a georgian, is believed to compose the majority of that 4% or better... as he has been gaining in the polls this last few weeks by picking up undecided georgia independents.

last week's cnn/time poll revealed that among "likely" georgia voters — presumably those who are both registered and have a proven track record of participating in elections, the race breaks down as follows: mccain: 50%, obama: 46%, barr: 3%

however, if the pool of voters is widened to include simply registered voters — which would include first-time voters or those who rarely participate in general elections — then the georgia vote shifts in obama's favor: mccain: 46%, obama: 49%, barr: 4%

so there you have it, i was dissappointed when the obama for america campaign shifted resourced from georgia last month, but happy to hear that more than half of registered voters have voted early thought to benefit obama. i was also happy when obama shifted resources back to georgia last week and may help see my wish to fruition.

what of my other swing state calls? montana is close. originally, that state looked good for obama, but slipped back to mccain after the palin pick. perhaps montana is the one state that palin helps mccain win. yet, we are squabbling over three electoral votes and i my calculations are that obama will succeed with or without montana. i call montana for mccain because the last month's series of polls generally have mccain leading in spite of that gap closing and now close. the same is true of arizona. i was in arizona in may. i kept asking people i met, and i gathered that if mccain was not from arizona, the state would go blue. yet, i see arizona staying narrowly red. meanwhile, long before the pundits and major shift in the polls, i have felt confident that obama would perform better in florida than ohio which was not the case for bill clinton in 1992. however, like nevada, florida's economy is hurting and unlike mccain who hosted a convention centered around terrorism... i have long thought the economy is the greatest security risk facing our country. i trust that florida agrees and i will take back every sand bar comment i've made since 2000.

ultimately, i call ohio for obama... but i predict ohio to be too close to call until after the west coast polls are closed. additionally, for the same reason i foresee ohio ending close, i also see indiana close. however, i see indiana narrowly red for mccain. unlike missiouri, indiana's popular senator is somewhat a bore and moderate. indiana reminds me of northern kentucky democrats. in order to win, you have to market yourself as a virtual republican. with that said and given that indiana did not break for clinton with perot's help, i call indiana for mccain and i call missiouri for obama... home of the likable, well-known, and early obama activist, senator claire mccaskill. if she ran for governor first, she could be president in 2016, eh?

end game: obama with 379 electoral votes. the greatest victory since the eighties. and incidentally, i alway hinted he would prove to be our next great american president. finally, i win a contest... by virtue of association or vicariously or something like that.

Sarah The Socialist

By Steve - Oct 29th, 2008 at 9:52 am EDT

Also listed in: 5 groups

This is what Sarah Palin said two months ago about how evil and horrible sharing the wealth really is. About how "sharing the wealth" is a code name for Socialism, for collective ownership rather than individual ownership. Heck, maybe even Communism.

"And Alaska - we're set up, unlike other states in the union, where it's collectively Alaskans own the resources. So we share in the wealth when the development of these resources occurs."

And, she also said:

"Alaska is sometimes described as America's socialist state, because of its collective ownership of resources.”

It's worth noting that in all of the Alaskan reform Gov. Palin touts, not once has she boasted that she reformed Alaska from being Socialist. So, I guess she's okay with that. Or, maybe, it's just that policies that benefit the majority of citizens isn't really Socialism at all. Maybe that's just fair and balanced government.

The information comes from this article. I invite you to read it, but I suggest you dial down the emotion in the article a bit.

Sarah Palin - What she doesn't tell you AND doesn't want you to know...there is so much!!!

By Terri - Oct 27th, 2008 at 1:48 pm EDT

Also listed in: Ohio Action Team

First, these are a few of the most important things you should know, but may not (things she definitely won't tell you):

1) Juneteenth Director wrote, "While meeting with Black leaders concerning the absence of any African Americans on her staff, Gov. Palin responded that she doesn't have to hire any Blacks and was not intending to hire any." All the people on her staff and, not one is Black? How is it possible, in today's world that any of the 50 states would not have any Black employees in the administration of a state?

2) A Director for African American Juneteenth Events in Alaska said that Palin was the first governor not to attend or send a congratulatory letter. She never even responded.

3) Palin cut funding for a transitional home for teen moms in Alaska with a line item veto. (she doesn't support helping teen moms but she is against abortion???)

4) As mayor, Palin raised locals taxes while giving breaks to large companies (remind you of the last 8 years?, it should!!!)

5) "The governor did have a tanning bed put in the Governor's Mansion. It was done shortly after she took office [in early 2007] and moved into the mansion," said Roger Wetherell from Alaska's Department of Transportation and Public Facilities

THE TRUTH ABOUT PALIN'S "EXPERIENCE"

I would love to be able to sit down in front of a camera and ask Sarah Palin a few questions about all that experience and what she did, as mayor, for the town of Wasilla, Alaska. Actually the question would be better phrased as 'What did you DO to the town of Wasilla'.

One of the first things she did was to go in and immediately and illegally terminate people, which resulted in several lawsuits, at least one of which was in Federal Court. They were terminated either completely without cause, because they didn't support her in her campaign or because they crossed her. One of the members of the town council, where she served before running for mayor, said 'that's how Sarah is, her friends get rewarded and everybody else gets cut off at the knees'.

When she campaigned for mayor she ran as a 'budget-cutter'...really!! There was apparently an urgent need to redecorate the mayor's office. She spent more than $50,000 to redecorate her new office, which included red-flocked wallpaper. People described the newly revamped office as 'looking like a bordello'. It was illegal for her to spend that kind of money without getting the authorization of the City Council. She paid for this lavish expenditure using funds from a city highway fund used to plow snow, grade roads and fill potholes. When she was told this, her response was: "I'm the mayor, I can do whatever I want until the courts tell me I can't". Can you imagine? That's why she keeps giving her own interpretation of the duties of the Vice President, even though it is WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!!! Like she said when she was mayor, she plans on doing whatever she wants until the courts tell her she can't!

Her term as mayor started off so badly, in fact, that people were talking about a recall. It was around this time that she hired a city planner and he is the one who actually ran things from that point forward. She takes credit for running the administration every time she talks about her 'executive experience' and 'Wasilla' or 'being mayor'. What would you call it when you're elected to a position, you can't handle and you are about to get tarred and feathered, so you hire someone else to perform your duties? Terri the Blogger calls that being a figure head or being a mayor in title ONLY!!! As a matter of fact, when asked about her claims that she has all this experience, on of Wasilla's City Council Members said 'executive experience? She doesn't have any!'

Ms. Palin touts all the things she did for Wasilla and how she got rid of the good ol' boy network. According to government officials in the Matanuska Valley, her tenure was actually characterized by waste, cronyism and incompetence. The town of Wasilla consisted of between 5,000 and 7,000 people during her tenure as mayor. They had little to no debt when she was elected. That wasn't the case by the time she left office.

First, there was the Wasilla Sports Complex, which she looks at as her legacy. She okayed them to start building before everything was settled with the land deal so what ended up happening was they had started building on land they didn't even own! The initial cost which had been funded by bonds was approximately $14.7 million. The biggest problem, however, was the process of how the land was acquired. The whole thing was handled with exceptional incompetence and arrogance, ultimately costing the city an extra $1.7 million in settlement and court cost for a piece of land that would have costed only $125k if they had handled it right from the beginning in 1998.

Then there was the huge expense to build Wasilla its own Emergency Dispatch Center even though they were successfully sharing one center and the costs thereof with nearby Palmer. It was, according to officials, strictly her ego that refused to share the center with Palmer because they were Wasilla's town rival, so she got earmark money for her own system. There are now two expensive operations, both are losing money, serving a total of 85,000 people. In comparison Anchorage, a city of over 300,000 people, manages just fine with one center.

Then there are the inproprieties or possible conflicts of interest. She took her kids on trips and had the good people of Alaska pay for it, even though it is expressly forbidden to charge per diem etc. unless the children were for some reason invited. When she found this out she changed the expense reports to indicate the children were invited. The problem with that, when the people at the location of the event were asked, they stated how surprised they were that she had brought her children. OOPS, caught in something else that, at least, appears illegal!!! Of course, by Ms. Palin's intrepretation of others if it appears so, it is so, so it must have been illegal.

Then there's the Palin's $552,000 home. Todd Palin told a reporter that he built it with the help of a few 'contractor buddies'. Everybody should be so lucky to have this guys 'contractor buddies'. Turns out every single one of them were, in some way, either were or were affiliated with the architects, the builders, the suppliers, etc. that ended up getting the contract to build the $15 million Sports Complex. Imagine that!

Then there's the whole pipeline thing that she seems to be so proud of. The whole bidding process for that was questionable. Ms. Palin either had meetings or phone conversations with people from the company that were awarded the contract, prior to the award!!!

Want to know what McCain's own staff & supporters have to say about her:

"She is a diva. She takes no advice from anyone," said this McCain advisor, "she does not have any relationships of trust with any of us, her family or anyone else."

Senator Joseph Liebermann, a close advisor of McCain said: "Thank God, she's not gonna have to be president from day one."

Former McCain advisor, Charels Fried, voted for Obama because of McCain's "choice of Sarah Palin at a time of deep national crisis."

Alaskan Palin supporters and critics alike have said "the woman they see stumping in swing states and being interviewed on national TV is not the hockey mom-turned politician they once knew."

No matter what you think of John McCain, if you vote for McCain for President, you stand the very real chance of getting Sarah Palin as President. If you still think that would be okay, please go back and reread this blog!!! She is a clear and present danger to this Country. She is an exceptionally divisive person. She most clearly has racist attitudes. Don't risk your Country, your finances, your home, your future, or your children and their future!!!

VOTE OBAMA/BIDEN '08!!!!

When John asked Sarah to be his running mate,

She did not blink, she did not wait.

Did Sarah so charm John McCain

That he failed to think and think again?

A presidential hopeful, old and sick,

Needed to make a smarter pick.

Sarah's rise to fame was rapid;

She's better dressed, but no less vapid.

The GOP has, thus, become

The party of the confused and dumb.

I Don't Have a Twin

By Just me - Oct 12th, 2008 at 7:20 pm EDT

Well this is really something!

Although, it is not impossible, it seems very unlikely that somebody else has my exact name, so I write today to clear up this confusion that I have just this day, discovered... "I" am the real "flesh and blood" "Todd Larkin"!

I share few if any views with the mystery blogger and supposed vet_08 author of the other "Todd Larkin's Blog" on this site. I would appreciate it's prompt removal as a possible imposter since I am an exceedingly conservative/libertarian minded Republican in good standing. I live in Alaska, burn wood, kill stuff too eat, don't want government to get another dime from American business and workers and so on...

If (and that is a big "if") I had any reason at all to support the likes of Barack/Biden, it would only be in the desperate hope, that a hard enough or radical enough turn to the left and full embrace of socialism or outright Communism, would be 'enough' to shake people out of their slumber and reject such notions once and for all as the failed experiment they are. Then we might get back to what built the most successful and powerful country the world has ever seen; principals such as, free market exchange between common citizens, unfettered by government constrictions or taxation, or, applying the occasional biblical principal to such things as work ethic/caring for the needy/treatment of others/government actions/etc... and finally, the right to (yes) fail! We once honored the right to bet the farm or just never even get up and milk the darn cow and suffer for the consequences without the constant and hugely expensive "safety nets" government sets up and complicates life with.

Beyond that singular reasoning for Obama support, i am at a loss as to why one would vote for this man or any similar socialist.

Now if it is not obvious, I am supporting, McCain/Palin in this presidential race, not that my party's nominee is terribly conservative but, with the addition of Palin, it seems there is a brighter future for us conservatives and a seat at the table; nevertheless, it is McCain/Palin that I endorse and NOT Obama/Biden, so I would thank you to not create confusion around my name. I am active and somewhat known in Alaska political circles and do not appreciate it one bit!

You (the Obama Campaign) would do well to 'vet out' whether your "vet" is who he claims to be before a lawsuit arrives at your campaign doorstep. As for me? Vet me out all you like, I AM "Todd Larkin", the real thing! I live here in Alaska with my dog in a small one bedroom house I built myself and barely afford. I'm here all the time and darn easy to find, so get on it! If you want pictures... Google me and you'll see that I "am" and that I have a bit of political activity under my belt and all those people I dealt with are pretty sure I'm really me too (especially my enemies, don't be one).

As for the "other" Todd... if by some outside chance you are just another guy with my exact name, I (and my name) are very disappointed in what you've become. Stop feeling and start thinking! Go try to find the socialist or communist society that worked out well for the people or didn't result in mass killings, and wake up to the failed experiment, Jeeze man!?

Slightly frustrated regards,

Todd Larkin

EVOLVING TO THE NEXT LEVEL

By Global Symbolic Votes - Oct 12th, 2008 at 4:38 pm EDT

Also listed in: 9 groups

It is no longer about getting Barack Obama into the White House. Baring the outbreak of WW III or some other kind of unforeseen disaster, he is already there. During one of his recent rallies, Senator Obama invoked these words: “CHANGE the country” and “CHANGE the world.”

Getting Senator Obama into the White House is not the end of a process; it’s the beginning of a process. Keeping him in the White House will be the hard part. Prudence dictates that we should never underestimate the will of the forces which are arrayed against him/us.

In the beginning, Senator Obama talked a lot about “Old Politics” or “Old Thought” – which is essentially the same thing. Our messages have been about “New Thought” and saving the Planet. Obama has often said that he can’t do it alone and neither can we. We need your help.

This is a sampling of what some of you had to say about our messages:

Date: Fri, 19 Sep 2008 14:43:29 -0400, [ HarvardLawforObama@groups.barackobama.com ] “This is a very astute comment, Jan Derek. Please take 3 minutes and post it on my posting of Barack's speech posted at...” and this is an open invitation to all members of HarvardLawforObama…”
Date: Tue, 16 Sep 2008 22:22:22 -0400, “I hope you do not mind but I liked this E-mail so much that I have published it in my Blogs giving you credit. Keep up the great work.”
Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2008 15:48:04 -0400, “Well said, thank you!”

Why do we impart/promulgate our “New Thought” messages? Actually, I like Michelle Obama’s answer. She said, “It’s my job.” Some people are genuine truth seekers, not a lot but some. Mohandas K. Gandhi said, “If you are a minority of one, the truth is the truth.”

And here we have our quandary, what to do now? It is time to evolve to the next level. We are dedicated to keeping the “Obama Movement” alive for 100 years, if necessary, and we need your input.

New thought is our only chance,

Jesus H. Christ

By Citizen X - Oct 11th, 2008 at 3:13 pm EDT

Also listed in: Capitol Hill Artists, Crafters, and Musicians for Obama

I just got done watching the most terrifying movie I have ever seen. It had nothing to do with psycho killers, fiendish monsters or global warming. On the contrary, “Jesus Camp” is about regular people—just like you and me—whose primary purpose in life is practicing their “prophetic gifts” so that they can “take back America for Christ.” I did not know that Jesus ever lived in the U.S.

Don’t get me wrong—Jesus is cool—but just like with every religion, fanatics tend to see things in a different light. Maybe it’s their gifts.

“Kids On Fire Summer Camp,” a Charismatic or Pentecostal Christian sanctuary located in North Dakota, teaches dedicated Evangelical kids to become soldiers in “God’s Army,” hell bent on spreading the word of the Lord, whatever the cost. Sounds to me like another group of fanatics in another god’s army.

FEAR IS HERE BUT CHANGE IS COMING

By Global Symbolic Votes - Oct 8th, 2008 at 9:46 am EDT

Also listed in: 9 groups

In the best selling book CONVERSATONS WITH GOD, God said to the author, Neale Donald Walsch, something like this: “The world is full of sleep-walkers….to get people to wake up you sometimes have to shake them.” Been there; done that.

Obama has said that he can’t do it alone. He said, “I need your help.” We are all trying to help. But, far too often, my words tend to frighten the sleep-walkers who refuse to wake up. They obviously love the pain, the drama and the not knowing. The truth is hard to swallow.

I support Senator Obama 100%. The only difference between others and me is that I know this and they do not. When faced with new ideas, some engage the issues and others elect to run and hide. To keep FEAR out of the equation it is best to engage issues.

Most people tend to participate in politics unconsciously. They do this because it is easier to let others decide for them -- the experts, the pundits, the negative TV ads and things of this nature. When it comes to politics, most of us don’t even know what we are doing.

Addressing all humans, God said to Neale, “Go ahead. Act on all that you know. But notice that you have been doing this since time began and look at what shape the world is in. Clearly you’ve missed something.” Those who love their pain have not missed a thing.

Most of us have no idea of what we are going to have to deal with after the election is over. What is the famous quote? “Know thine enemy.” (Shakespeare, I think) Even Barack Obama has no idea. He is but a man and therefore subject to the laws of the universe.

Barack Obama has said many, many times, “It’s not about me; it’s about you. This is the other thing that most of us simply will not hear. It’s not about the man; it’s about what the man/movement represents. It’s about the message not the messenger.

I predict that Senator Obama has already won the election. Getting Obama into the White House will be the easy part. However, keeping him there, now that will be the hard part. We should never underestimate the will of the forces which are arrayed against him/us.

Sarah Palin Lies to America and to Herself

By Cathie - Oct 6th, 2008 at 7:34 pm EDT

I read today that Mrs. Palin has decided to once again demonstrate her character to the American people by telling lies about her opponents. I believe the McCain campaign and it's supporters know they are losing this race and that they will continue to lose votes and are acting out of desperation. I believe the few supporters the McCain campaign has retained will see their candidates for who they really are as they are certainly showing their true colors. To Sarah Palin- Think carefully about the words you choose and use towards your opponents. As a mother, I would never want my children to see their mother saying such horrible untrue things about another person and on national television no less. To John McCain-Please make this race about the issues and salvage your declining reputation while you can. To all Americans-Vote with your heart, this Presidential race is about so much more then just the energy crisis or our declining economy. This election is about Americans partnering with government to create the society we will all benefit and contribute to.

A Must Read

By Marcia--One who believes in Dreams! - Oct 6th, 2008 at 3:31 pm EDT

Also listed in: 8 groups

This is a must read from the Huffington Post...

"I was appalled (and annoyed) this weekend by the newest wave of hypocrisy to come spewing perkily forth from the ever-smiling, ever-smirking, perfectly lipsticked mouth of Governor Palin...

Finally informing us what she reads, Palin said that yesterday, while leafing through her daily copy of the New York Times, she came across a story on Senator Obama and William Ayers, the 1960s militant and member of the Weather Underground, the radical and violent anti-war group. And faster than you can say "Darn right!"she saw her opportunity - and her duty. Clearly, she must inform an unknowing nation that Obama is guilty by association with Ayers.

You, Governor, should know better. As I and many journalists have noted, you have strong ties to the Alaska Independence Party. While it was finally revealed that you technically were not a card-carrying member of the AIP, it was discovered that the First Dude, between his life of high adventure in helping you rule your northern fiefdom, his competitive snowmobiling and fishing, was a member of the organization for many years.

Yes, it is a free country. You get to associate or marry whomever you want, no matter how distasteful. Yes, Senator Obama served on a board with William Ayers, a former member of the Weather Underground and now a college professor and activist in Chicago. However, Senator Obama has clearly distanced himself on numerous occasions from Professor Ayers' actions in the 1960's. This is a non-issue. Perhaps that is why you have decided to focus on it -- better a non-issue than having to learn and think about real problems that affect everyday people, like health care, the economy and education. Those, I suppose, are just too gosh darned hard.

All snarky comments aside, I do have a concern, Governor. A big one. You have never distanced yourself from a radical secessionist movement aimed at the breaking up of the Federal Union."
