Just addressing Mikey's "comparison."

WTF does "approval rating" have to do with executive experience?

PSUFAN wrote:WW, I am referring to the fact that legitimate criticisms are decried as "bashing" where Palin is concerned. Remember how everyone said Biden had to be careful not to seem "harsh" in the debate?

A. His connection to domestic terrorists.

B. His connection to Palestinian terrorists

C. The source of 222 million dollars in anonymous campaign contributions.

That will do for a start.

Mikey, you said Barack has as much executive experience as Sarah by running his campaigne. I simply asked if he has an 80% approval rating with his "executive" experience. A simple question to a simpleton Sarah hater.

People point out that she didn't actually return the money earmarked for that project, and that response is termed "bashing poor Sarah".

Weak, superficial, and convenient repudiation.

OK, so you now want to start flinging personal insults you stupid moronic bitch?

"Approval rating" and "executive experience" are not in any way related, as you would probably know if you had any adult experience beyond fat stupid alcoholic housewife.

"Approval rating" is entirely dependent on who you are asking for "approval". Plenty of successful executives probably have abysmal "approval ratings" among certain groups of their employees. That doesn't mean that they aren't good executives. Obama would probably have close to 100% approval among those working in his campaign. Who would you suggest polling?

No I mean like Obama belonging to a church and having as a spiritual mentor a pastor who is one degree shy of being a black separatist whacko - for twenty years - and then all of a sudden when it becomes a problem saying "Okay, I won't go there anymore if you'll let me be the President, okay ?"

It shows one of two things.

1. Obama belives in and espouses the idealogy being preached at Trinity.

or

2. He was only using Trinity to establish his "street cred" among real blacks in this country.

There are so many other black dudes in this country that deserve to be the first black president - Dem and Republican - over Barack Hussein Obama Soetero.

Why would he even have to repudiate Wright. In the 20 years he sat listening to this fool he never heard any kind of hate speech.

or maybe it just wasn't hate speech to him.

Barack Obama formally rejected Gen. Wesley Clark's recent comments Monday that questioned whether the John McCain's military experience qualified him to be commander in chief.

"As he's said many times before, Senator Obama honors and respects Senator McCain's service, and of course he rejects yesterday's statement by General Clark," Obama spokesman Bill Burton said in a statement.

News to me.

Obama Speechwriter Wendy Button Defects to the Good Guys
Here's something you won't see prominently featured in the liberal establishment media: an Obama speechwriter realized what she had crawled into bed with and defected to the good guys.In her own words, this is why Wendy Button made the switch:

The final straw came the other week when Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher (a.k.a Joe the Plumber) asked a question about higher taxes for small businesses. Instead of celebrating his aspirations, they were mocked. He wasn't "a real plumber," and "They're fighting for Joe the Hedge-Fund manager," and the patronizing, "I've got nothing but love for Joe the Plumber."
…The party I believed in wouldn't look down on working people under any circumstance. And Joe the Plumber is right. This is the absolutely worst time to raise taxes on anyone: the rich, the middle class, the poor, small businesses and corporations.
…Not only has this party belittled working people in this campaign from Joe the Plumber to the bitter comments, it has also been part of tearing down two female candidates. At first, certain Democrats and the press called Senator Clinton "dishonest." They went after her cleavage. They said her experience as First Lady consisted of having tea parties. There was no outrage over "Bros before Hoes" or "Iron My Shirt." Did Senator Clinton make mistakes? Of course. She's human.
But here we are about a week out and it's déjà vu all over again. Really, front-page news is how the Republican National Committee paid for Governor Sarah Palin's wardrobe? Where's the op-ed about how Obama tucks in his shirt when he plays basketball or how Senator Biden buttons the top button on his golf shirt?
…Governor Palin and I don't agree on a lot of things, mostly social issues. But I have grown to appreciate the Governor. I was one of those initial skeptics and would laugh at the pictures. Not anymore. When someone takes on a corrupt political machine and a sitting governor, that is not done by someone with a low I.Q. or a moral core made of tissue paper. When someone fights her way to get scholarships and work her way through college even in a jagged line, that shows determination and humility you can't learn from reading Reinhold Niebuhr. When a mother brings her son with special needs onto the national stage with love, honesty, and pride, that gives hope to families like mine as my older brother lives with a mental disability. And when someone can sit on a stage during the Sarah Palin rap on Saturday Night Live, put her hands in the air and watch someone in a moose costume get shot — that's a sign of both humor and humanity.
Has she made mistakes? Of course, she's human too. But the attention paid to her mistakes has been unprecedented compared to Senator Obama's "57 states" remarks or Senator Biden using a version of the Samuel Johnson quote, "There's nothing like a hanging in the morning to focus a man's thoughts."
…I was dead wrong about the surge and thought it would be a disaster. Senator John McCain led when many of us were ready to quit. Yet we march on as if nothing has changed, wedded to an old plan, and that too is a long way from the Democratic Party.
I can no longer justify what this party has done and can't dismiss the treatment of women and working people as just part of the new kind of politics. It's wrong and someone has to say that.

She also points out that attempts to portray McCain as identical to Bush are bogus, and that McCain is the only candidate who has "worked in a bipartisan way on big challenges."

It's contemptible for the likes of Colin Powell and Scott McClellan to switch opportunistically to what appears to be the winning team. But to switch to the underdog on the basis of principle takes character. The media isn't going to commend her for it, but Button's integrity is still appreciated.
