Worthy Quote: The Anchorage Daily News
Posted by: BookGirl on: October 28, 2008
“Like picking Sen. McCain for president, putting her (Sarah Palin) one 72-year-old heartbeat from the leadership of the free world is just too risky at this time.”
– The most influential paper in Alaska, The Anchorage Daily News, in their editorial where they endorsed Barack Obama for president. What? Joe Plummer isn’t their editor? Post about [...]

Ralph Nader of the lord knows what party and Chuck Baldwin of the Constitution Party participated in a debate on Oct. 24.
Third parties get no respect, but I’m glad people still hold fast to their ideals.

I was watching this clip from AP and I notced a Sarah Palin/Tina Fey look-alike behind McCain. She’s even wearing a horrible sweater like Palin used to wear before her $150,000 makeover.
Sarah Palin’s Make Up and Wardrobe Expenses Astronomical
Posted by: BookGirl on: October 24, 2008
Politicians don’t take a vow of poverty when they decide to run for office, but during a time of economic crisis, you would think they would be more aware of how they spend their money.
Example, Marie Antoinette, circa late 1700s during the french revolution. While her people were starving around her, she was still lavishly [...]
The New York Times (Officially) Endorses Obama
Posted by: BookGirl on: October 24, 2008
I’m not saying I think there is a liberal media bias, but I always thought the New York Times was in the tank for Obama, so this endorsement is kinda redundant. However, it did give me another eloquent pro-Obama piece to reference.
The Times endorsed Obama in their editorial today. Their first endorsement ever was of [...]

This was a little while ago but man it’s good. This speech was hilarious! Even better was the fact that you can see Hillary and Obama genuinely laughing along. McCain even pokes some fun at himself. I think that this speech has to at very least make you crack a smile with McCain. He is [...]

I have to admit, I’m relieved it’s all over. This debate was a little more interesting than the last two, but it still didn’t change a thing. All three major networks, including Fox, agree: Obama won. (Huff Po article HERE.)
Below is an example why Obama trounced McCain yet again.
“Joe the Plumber” [...]
What will it take for McCain to win?
Posted by: liberty53000 on: October 15, 2008
Pretty much Obama needs to mess up big time! This is sad. With all that is going on, Obama is way ahead of the polls. I hope this debate discredits obama big time. Lets go!!

– Former Bush Secretary of State Colin Powell partying with rap stars in the UK. Fox News seems to think this means he’s going to be endorsing Obama. I think the people at Fox are a bunch of bigots who are surprised to find out their favorite token black guy actually likes people of his [...]

What a shocker.
Congressman Tim Mahoney denied allegations that he paid a former mistress hush money, but doesn’t deny the mistress.
He said the accusations are part of a political strategy aimed at ousting him from his seat 20 days before the election.
His wife took the disappointing role of standing by her man [...]
McCain Hangs Out with ACORN People
Posted by: BookGirl on: October 14, 2008
This video has popped up on the internets exposing that McCain palls around with terrorists.
ACORN is the newest organization to be smeared and deemed un-American by the GOP. I guess that footage was of McCain’s maverick days when he used to go slumming with the middle class where as now he [...]

A man brought a stuffed monkey with an Obama sticker on it. When he saw cameras were on him, he took the sticker off and gave the doll to a kid. CBS caught it all on tape.
I’m disgusted beyond words.
UPDATE: To be fair, HERE’s a post from Ben Smith of Politico [...]
