Why does Sarah Palin think the 1st Amendment is under attack? Because they are doing their job of reporting. They are reporting the negative attacks handed out by her, the horrible things yelled out at her rallies, etc. So, because the media is reporting facts instead of lies, like she stumps about at her rallies, the 1st Amendment is in trouble. This woman is completely delusional. Doesn’t make the whole book-banning thing seem far-fetched, does it? If you don’t agree with her thinking, then you’re a bad person trying to take away our freedoms.
ABC News’ Steven Portnoy reports: In a conservative radio interview that aired in Washington, D.C. Friday morning, Republican vice presidential nominee Gov. Sarah Palin said she fears her First Amendment rights may be threatened by “attacks” from reporters who suggest she is engaging in a negative campaign against Barack Obama.
No Ms. Palin. They are not attacking you. They are reporting the truth. You know, that thing where your claims can actually be backed up by evidence. Not that bile you spew forth on the campaign trail. You are a disgrace.
Watch this great reaction McCain gives as he thinks about the future of the Republican Party under Palin. At about 9 seconds in you can see the nightmares flash before his eyes. Even he can’t believe he was dumb enough to pick someone so stupid, scary, and unqualified and for a brief second he sees, and gets scared of what he does see, the future of Palin and the Republican Party.
Another quick though. If Obama wins this election will the historical Republican base take back over the party? I’m talking about the small-government, fiscal conservatives and libertarians. Or will the social conservatives and radical right be the dominant force? Perhaps they should split. The religious right can create their own party that is true to their mission, a Theocracy Party. It’s a shame what they’ve turned the GOP into, and if they rally around Palin after this election it will only get worse.
Here is a quick thought: Obama is known for being a very powerful speaker able to bring people together and look towards a positive future. McCain and Palin use scare tactics, name-calling, and divisive speeches to get their party riled up. The politics of hate. Is that really what you want? You don’t see people at Obama rallies yelling racial slurs, traitor, kill him, bomb Obama, etc. This, ladies and gentlemen, is what the Republican Party has become.
There is a new ad being put out by the Obama campaign that hits McCain on the economy and Sarah Palin. More specifically, it uses McCain’s own words about how he knows nothing about the economy and how he might have to rely on his Vice President for economic issues. Of course, he said that before picking Sarah Palin as VP. We all know the only thing he can rely on her for is shooting wolf pups from helicopters.
The ad is in McCain’s own words with several quotes about his expertise on economic issues. “I’m going to be honest: I know a lot less about economics than I do about military and foreign policy issues. I still need to be educated.” Then the second: “The issue of economics is not something I’ve understood as well as I should.” And the third: “‘I might have to rely on a vice president that I select’ for expertise on economic issues.” Watch the ad below.
According to latest polling numbers in Ohio, McCain is actually losing ground. He is down two points from Monday and twice as much as it was last week. From CNN:
John McCain does not appear to be making up ground in Ohio, the key battleground state that is crucial to keeping his White House hopes alive.
According to CNN’s latest poll of polls of the state, the Arizona senator now trails Obama by 6 points there, 50 percent to 44 percent. That gap is two points wider than it was Monday and double what it was one week ago.
No Republican has won the presidency without carrying Ohio, and barring a major upset in another big state, the state’s 20 electoral votes are a must win for McCain. The Republican presidential candidate is expected to spend two full days there later this week.
The latest Ohio poll of polls consists of recent surveys from LA Times/Bloomberg (October 25-27), Reuters/Zogby (October 23-26), and CNN/Time/ORC (October 19-21). CNN Poll of Polls do not have a margin of error.
Meanwhile, a new poll of polls in Florida shows a similar story. The Arizona senator trails Obama by 4 points there, 49 percent to 45 percent. That gap is 3 points higher than it was earlier today and is largely due to a newly released survey from LA Times/Bloomberg showing McCain down 7 points in the state. The Florida poll of polls also includes surveys from Suffolk University and Reuters/Zogby.
Hopefully that will widen even further in Obama’s favor before the election. I hope tonight’s 30 minute ad buy by the Obama campaign can help out in some of the areas where the lead by Obama is within the margin of error. I’d really like to see Obama carry Ohio, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Florida, and Virgina to put a nail in McCain’s despicable campaign.
