FACT: PALIN violated Alaska Statute 39.52.110(a) So we know she doesnt mind bending the rules for her OWN self gain FACT: 747Savings&Loans failed because of the KEATING 5 Now we tax payers have to bail out the BANKS. Interesting. FACT: TODD PALIN was an executive for BP OIL FACT: TODD PALIN still works for BP OIL. THINK Can you say HALIBURTON? Maybe this is why PALIN was picked as a VP running mate? We went in to IRAQ for greed and oil. Whats the next REPUBLICIAN agenda? THINK Then VOTE

SARAH PALIN should at the very least be censured as a Governor because of TROOPERGATE. Real justice would be an impeachment. Her actions and responsibility, and culpability, is just as great as SPIRO AGNEWS was in the whole WATERGATE fiasco and he had to leave office. SHE SHOULD BE IMPEACHED AS GOVERNOR. The republicans have learned a valuable lesson: you can't trade one vagina in a skirt for another. Palin is a vapid, ill-informed, ethically challenged mess.

[freedomalert]

where have you been? we are the most spoiled society ever, and that is part of why we are where we are today. Go to a middle class and measure the size of their TV and the brand name clothing of their children, they all have cells,they live beyond their means and then blame Bush and government for not been able to continue with their frivolous spending. Who said we have to have a credit card? We are responsible for ourselves not the government, when did we ever acquire that communist thought.

"it's like rich people saying no one cares about them"

Cities have more homeless people than rural areas. They even have a large number of working people that are homeless.

The talk of small towns being "real Americans" or "pro-American" (insinuating that cities are not) has dominated much of the neo-conservative talk; especially with Palin and McCain's campaign manager.

[MccainIzBush]

The federal government burnt approximately 7 trillion dollars in the last 8 years. Burnt.

Cities don't need more money - we all need solutions. An urban agenda, fine. We need libraries and stuff. We can get a cabinet member on that, but there are bigger problems.

WHAT FUCK THIS!

oh shut up. of course everyone values cities. it goes without saying. it's like rich people saying no one cares about them. it's like white people saying no one cares about them. it's like men saying no one cares about them.

OF COURSE CITIES ARE IMPORTANT.

[fascistlemonade]

I would love to have both candidates show some love to big cities and the people who make them their homes. We are just as patriotic and just as much a symbol of the US as the folks in small towns.
