How can you believe any of them Donna?  Spin is everywhere.  There's always going to be long explanations and no one wants to listen to them in an instant gratification country.  

Anyway, I'm trying to spend my time on the main candidates views on issues.

Mel, this is an issue.  Palin claimes she's not for pork barrel legislation, and she is.  She claimes to be a candidate of change, not a good-old-boy, not a Washington insider, but she wanted to build a bridge, that would have cost us all, out to 50 residents.  And now, she's lying about it.  In my opinion, honesty is the biggest issue.

Since I can't find anyone worthy of my vote, I will need Charlie's and Jonny's full legal names for the write in.  

You're right, Mel.  We'll just watch whose nose grows the most by election time.   

I'm in.  You set the rules. 

Wait, how's this:  

"You have to be 18 years and older to play.  Players must be residents of the United States.  Game is valid from now until November 4th, 2008.  Everyone has to give your money to Melissa for safe keeping.  Any empolyees of the guberment are not eligible to play.  Winner will receive a round trip nature walk across 8 states.  Food and medication not provided."

I said it in another thread but it bears repeating.

If the candidate is not honest, whatever they say regarding other issues is 100% irrelevant.

Let's say I tell you all here that I have CH and I post here to tell you all I tried, lets say, peppermint oil, and it cured my headaches. THEN you find out that I actually don't have Ch and I just happn to SELL peppermint oil.

I get labled a troll, people bash me, my avitar changes to a "don't feed the troll sign" and my username turns green.

Seriously, I don't see the logic is listening to ANYTHING a proven liar says. Not a single word.

And while there is some decpetion with all parties (it is a given in politics that there will be spin to make one's self look better) outright proven lying is completely different.

Add the proven hypocracy involved with Palin and I can't see who would listen to her unless they are either very biased or have fallen for her scare tactics of using 9-11 as a political op.

Add to the fact that she is another leader who God talks directly to and who purports to know what God's plan is (and then later changed her tune on that as well) and I am VERY afraid for the WORLD if she is in any US office come next year.

Yeah, Melly, I know who I am NOT voting for but that doesn't tell me who to vote for.............lol

And I have lowered my expectation to very few criteria and still I am in a quandry.

Sigh

Good stuff jonny!

I'm not sold to either side, I want to watch some good old fashioned debates with real and not staged questions for all of them. I'm kind of with Jamey on this one about the lying. Not good!

She strikes me as the kind of person who would do anything including lying to get what SHE wanted. The naughty librarian good looks don't fool me for one minute. Shall I say, "troopergate"

Jimmers

i don't know. palin scares the shit out of me.

Are you shitting me?

The fuckin media lied to us?

Man, how many times have they lied to us?

I agree Charlie.  The fact that she even inquired is enough to make my skin crawl. 

I still say that I'm going to change my name to *none of the above*, get put on teh ballot as a last ditch effort and win by a landslide
