Forget McCain’s “Fundamentals are Strong” speech, I like Sarah Palin’s “we’ll reform Wall Street” speech. This speech is interesting in that had it been delivered by a Democrat, it would have had credibility. But coming from a Republican?
“Our regulatory system is outdated and needs a complete overhaul. Washington has ignored this.” See what I mean? This would be a great quote coming from someone whose party didn’t control every branch of government for the last eight years. From someone whose party wasn’t primarily responsible for the deregulation of banking and housing markets. From someone whose CAMPAIGN employs the man who, if the housing market were a murder, would be convicted as an accessory (Phil Gramm). From anyone whose party didn’t have ties to Enron. Whose party didn’t inderectly cause the rolling black outs in California and the $5 gas at the pump. And now they want us to believe that they will bring about change. The man whose campaign is run almost entirely by lobbyists, is going to stand up to them when the time comes? Sure. This is further evidence that the McCain campaign believes it can say whatever it wants, truth be damned.

Sarah Palin pt 2
The one thing that strikes me about the RNC in general is how…deluded is not the right word but it’s the first word that comes to mind. I don’t mean they’re insane, delusional. I mean they have the ability to say something and believe it with all their heart, even though all their actions leading up to that point are in direct opposition to the statement.
Guiliani and Romney said some things I seriously could not believe. And they said it with a straight face. Guiliani had the BALLS to claim that Democrats want BIG BROTHER watching you. The party that passed the Patriot Act and still does illegal surveillance on us! Seriously! What’s the emoticon for brain exploding?
I’ll use examples from Palin’s speech, since hers was basically a … let’s use the word hodgepodge…of every other Republican’s speech. Which was nice, because if you missed Rudy or Mittens live, you still were able to hear their speech.
After going through her personal biography, where she makes it seem as though being mayor of a small town and Governor for less than 2 years, qualifies you to be Vice President, she went to the meat of the subject.
[what follows is one of my favorite ways to dissect something: Their words, then mine.]
First, she brought up the “bitterness” thing. “We tend to prefer candidates who don't talk about us one way in Scranton and another way in San Francisco.
As for my running mate, you can be certain that wherever he goes, and whoever is listening, John McCain is the same man.”
I grant her that John McCain has the same molecules and atoms, no matter who he talks to, but there’s way too much video of McCain saying, “I never said that.”, to one interviewer, while another has video of him actually saying it.
“The right reason [to run for office] is to challenge the status quo, to serve the common good, and to leave this nation better than we found it.”
Obviously they don’t get the news in Alaska, since McCain intends to keep the status quo, and the nation is worse off now than it was 8 years ago.
“I told the Congress "thanks, but no thanks," for that Bridge to Nowhere.”
This is widely reported to not be true. She said she was proud of Ted Stevens work and the infrastructure he was bringing (i.e. this bridge to nowhere). That’s Ted Stevens of the “series of tubes” and 7 felony indictments.
“With Russia wanting to control a vital pipeline in the Caucasus, and to divide and intimidate our European allies by using energy as a weapon, we cannot leave ourselves at the mercy of foreign suppliers.
To confront the threat that Iran might seek to cut off nearly a fifth of world energy supplies ... or that terrorists might strike again at the Abqaiq facility in Saudi Arabia ... or that Venezuela might shut off its oil deliveries ... we Americans need to produce more of our own oil and gas.”
Actually this is a great reason not to be using oil and gas at all! And she apparently doesn’t know how the oil system works. Or, she’s exploiting American ignorance for political gain. Pick whichever makes your brain hurt less.
“Our opponents say, again and again, that drilling will not solve all of America's energy problems - as if we all didn't know that already.”
I’d like to point out that she said this right after everyone was chanting “Drill, baby, Drill”, which I think makes the point that they [republicans] actually do think drilling will solve our problems.
“Terrorist states are seeking nuclear weapons without delay ... he [Obama] wants to meet them without preconditions.”
Funny, one of the bills Obama sponsored was on loose nukes. And that “preconditions” thing was debunked a long time ago. Anyway, you were saying.
For the next part let me summarize: He’ll raise your taxes. Since she was speaking to a group of rich Republicans, she was probably right. But the Obama plan is mostly for closing loopholes and rolling back the tax cuts for the wealthiest 1%, not to mention taxing windfall profits from oil companies, which all can be considered tax increases, but not on you and me.
“In politics, there are some candidates who use change to promote their careers.
And then there are those, like John McCain, who use their careers to promote change.”
Yes, by voting with their party over 80% of the time (check the Washington post website, it has a great congressional vote page). That’s change you can 20% (or less) believe in.
“Among politicians, there is the idealism of high-flown speechmaking, in which crowds are stirringly summoned to support great things.”
Yeah, you wouldn’t want a crowd of people to support great things.
“Senator McCain's record of actual achievement and reform helps explain why so many special interests, lobbyists, and comfortable committee chairmen…”
work in his campaign!
“…have fought the prospect of a McCain presidency - from the primary election of 2000 to this very day.”
If by fought you mean now support with millions of dollars, then yes again I concede your point.
“He's a man who's there to serve his country, and not just his party.”
Which is why he picked an uber-conservative as a running mate, and embraced Pastor “New Orleans-deserved to drown” and the other “agents of intolerance”.
She ends by talking about McCain’s P.O.W. record. This makes me really angry. What happened to John McCain was horrific and should never happen to anyone. I think the Republican party would agree. So why are they letting the U.S. do the same thing to people who may be guilty of nothing more than being turned in for money. This party with it’s torture survivor should loudly proclaim: The U.S. does not torture! And unlike the current President, actually mean it.
That’s all she had to say, and that’s all the energy I have to write.
So, Darwin bless you! And Random Chance bless, America!

Sarah Palin pt 1
I said the McCain camp would cry sexism, and once again my predictions come true sooner than I thought. But that’s not all, they also claim the media is biased, and it’s unfairly attacking them.
This is why I love Chris Matthews. When he’s riled up about something, he will not let it go. He speaks his mind. Just watch that video where he gets upset with Keith Olbermann over a perceived slight. Now Matthews is fighting back about a so-called malicious media.
This segment takes place after Chris Matthews spent his round table discussion talking about whether the McCain campaign intends to keep blaming the media for everything. Here he sends it down to Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski and asks this question.
[and this is word for word, I spent 20 minutes rewinding to get it just right and my ellipses leave out nothing important]
C. Matthews: Who started this fight: the media, or the ballyhoo boys behind this convention? (ballyhoo boys refers to the Taylor political machine in Mr. Smith Goes To Washington, Thanks Keith for pointing that out to me),
J. Scarborough: This fight was begun when the media chased rumors on the internet…and were aggressively following a story that just wasn’t true about her fifth child, the child with Down syndrome. That immediately put the campaign on the defensive…[continues]
[after Joe finishes]
Mika: …Everyone’s probably feeling sorry for her about the rumors that have been spread on the internet…
[afterwards]
K. Olbermann: We’ll see if people feel sorry for unfounded rumors on the internet. If that’s the case Sen. Obama is probably standing up and cheering and waiting for people to feel sorry for him.
This is the perfect illustration of good media bias. Don’t let a political group get away with outright hypocrisy! The truth is Obama has had to deal with the online rumors that he’s a Muslim, that his pastor hates America and so must he, and that both he and Michelle hate white people. They had to start a frakking website to combat these rumors. And if the McCain camp thinks Obama has been getting a free ride, when he kept having to answer questions about bittergate and not wearing a flag pin (both of which by the way the McCain camp thought were perfectly legitimate stories), then I don’t know what media McCain has been watching. Perhaps along with not knowing how to use a computer he hasn’t figured out cable.
The fact that her 17 year old daughter is pregnant is noteworthy because Palin’s an abstinence only advocate. So the story is relevant. Though even I think it should be left alone. But let’s not forget that if this happened to a he’d have to drop out of the race. Yes, I said HE. If instead of Palin it were Sen. Kerry, the right would constantly make reference, if not to the pregnant teen, then to the Liberal ways that caused it. They would keep talking about the permissive ways of liberals and how “this is what happens when you teach kids about condoms, they think it’s ok to have sex out of wedlock.” This wouldn’t be done by the candidates themselves, we’d have Dobson and Focus on the Family condemning them. We’d have the religious right smearing the candidate with whisper campaigns. But since this is the Republican party, every jumps in line. It probably won’t be long before someone mentions that Mary was only 13 when she had Jesus.
I think McCain may have a bit of a maverick streak after all. I think he picked Palin just to see if he could get the party to truly turn on him. “I’m going to pick the most inexperienced person I can find and see how they like it. And then I’m not going to vet her!” If he wanted a woman, we’ve got Kay Hutchinson here in Texas, please take her before she runs for Governor! She’s super conservative and has more legislative experience. But he picked Palin and the Party went with it. “Well, I know we were making all that noise about experience before, but now we’ll talk about ‘executive experience’. “ Never mind that that experience is only 20 months old or that ITS FROM FUCKING ALASKA!
I leave now so that I can save some energy for ripping apart Sarah Palin’s speech.

Some questions on Day 1-2 of the RNC
I just wanted to write a quick blog today.
Couple of things
1.Why do Republicans give credit to Bush for “protecting” America since 9/11, but he doesn’t get blamed for allowing it to happen?
2.how does being a former Beauty pageant winner with a BS in communications-journalism even compare to a person who graduated with a J.D. from the Syracuse Univeristy College of Law? Or, Obama who graduated with a J.D. magna cum laude from Harvard? Who then taught Constitutional Law at the University of Chicago Law School? Seriously?
3.For that matter, wouldn’t a constitutional law professor do a better job of upholding the constitution, than say anyone else?
4.What’s up with CNN giving better coverage of the Republican Convention than the Democratic Convention? They’ve shown all the patriotic video that the Republicans put on but skipped the same things from the Dems.
5.I heard a woman on MSNBC try to claim that Palin had more executive experience, not only because she was governor, but also because she was a mother! So my mom can run for President, now? Since my mother was a single mom who, with no financial support from our father, managed to help guide two kids to graduate from college, I think my mother is MORE qualified than Sarah Palin to be VP.
Here’s some great videos I wanted to share:
Here’s a speech Palin gave in June, with article from Huffingtonpost. From the intro, I’m not sure if Sarah Palin loves Jesus or is IN LOVE with Jesus.
Huffington post
This is a great clip of Karl Rove Trashing a possible Gov. Kaine choice by Obama for running mate, but now seems perfectly suited to Gov. Palin. Thanks Republican party we can always count on you to make the best argument for why you’re wrong, then forcefully ignore it.
Here’s CNN being a really good network for a change:

At least the news slowed down.
Darwin Dammit, you miss one day writing and it spirals outta control. Do I go over Clinton’s speech? Obama’s speech was so moving and strong, I must say something about that. Mr. Obama-has-no-experience, just picked a person even less qualified than he claims Obama is to be his running mate. And now a hurricane is disrupting the Republican convention, just weeks after some guy asked people to pray to make it rain on Obama’s speech. Where does one start?!?
Well, not that anyone would want to politicize a hurricane (I mean that would be as despicable as using one of the most horrific terrorist events in US history to win an election), but the hurricane is working in the Republicans favor. McCain doesn’t want to be associated to much with Bush/Cheney, but how can you have a party convention without your current party’s leadership. Well, now they can’t attend because of the Hurricane. We all remember where the president was when Katrina hit three years ago. And in case you don’t here’s the photo from the White House website.
And while Gustav was no where near the Category 5 Katrina, I expect that the Republicans will still be patting themselves on the back for how well they responded to this crisis. And there is no real way to criticize them. In fact, this is the newest tactic of the McCain campaign: not allowing the media to criticize him.
The media always loved McCain, but now he’s being all crotchety anytime anyone has a legitimate complaint about him. When asked, he forgot how many houses he owned. Now it’s fine to be rich, ordinary people love the rich. They obsess over their lives, and hope one day to be like them. People dream that one day they too, will be able to buy a condo and when it gets used by their kids too much, buy another. But we have a right to claim you’re out of touch with the common man when not only do you buy houses like regular people buy dvds, but also when you claim the “Economy is fundamentally strong” and your economic adviser said we’re in a “mental recession” and called us a “nation of whiners”. We especially have the right to call you on it, if you jumped all over Obama because he said people were “bitter”.
But, instead of responding to the real issues, like why owning multiple houses doesn’t make him out of touch, he copped out and used the POW thing which drowned out the other point he was trying to make.
Had he left out the POW reference and just mentioned that Cindy’s dad was a great American success story, we might have forgiven him. Had he just said, “I want to get America back to that ideal. I want our troops coming home from Iraq to get the opportunity to start their own businesses and give their children and grandchildren the same great life that Cindy and I enjoy.” Of course, McCain couldn’t have said that because he doesn’t even think our soldiers in Iraq deserve a college education or adequate healthcare.
GI Bill roll call list
In fact, on the new GI Bill, 25 senators voted no, and 3 did not vote. All 25 “no” votes were Republicans. Who were the three who did not vote: John McCain, Tom Coburn, and Ted Kennedy. Kennedy had a good excuse, he was recovering from chemo due to his brain tumor, and couldn’t make it. McCain, on the other hand, just didn’t have the courage to vote no!
And now, McCain has picked Sarah Palin as his running mate. It wasn’t enough that McCain use Hillary’s campaign strategies (which lost her the contest, BTW), he had to go and pick a female running mate so he could also play the sexism card! Make no mistake the minute someone starts criticizing Palin on her experience, the McCain camp is going to claim sexism. They’ll be running on sexism and POW. For someone who was running on experience, picking Palin is at best…CRAZY!
There was supposed to be some video here, but I'm not sure what went wrong, but check out comedy central's Daily Show, Colbert Report, and Root of all Evil, for video on Sarah Palin and what I think is the Republican Platform.
