Palin changes her last name

[Sofiyya 1,687]

Having a close relationship with a guy as radical as Wright is not your everyday skeleton in the closet. If you go to church and the pastor says GD America, we live in a country ruled by rich white people, talking about how we deserved 9/11 the Sunday after 9/11, blaming whites for problems, the government created the AIDS virus, etc....This is just what was said over the last couple of years. Imagine the things Obama has heard (but denies) over 20 years, that is 7,300 days, or approximately 1,050 Sunday's...It shows bad judgment, if the pastor says these things you switch churches.

These are not things Obama said, or believes, so it's pretty funny to me that you attribute them to him.

Do you have to believe every single thing people you hang out with do? Or can they believe in things that just might annoy or offend you? Maybe you should hold him to the same standard you'd hold yourself to. Unless your position is anyone who disagrees with you isn't good enough to hang out with.

I don't recall the last time a president would be denied a security clearance to work for the CIA, Secret Service, or FBI because of friendships with former domestic terrorists.

Ask yourself why the Bush Administration secretly and swiftly flew out the Bin Laden family rather than interrogate them.

Or not, because only Obama does things which would be akin to supporting terrorism, right? Mission accomplished.

He wants to take peoples money that worked hard and were successful in life and distribute it to people that perhaps do drugs, do not actively seek employment, do not attempt to get an education, etc...That is not the American dream, in fact, it is the opposite!! People who earn their money should decide where to spend it, the government has no business taking their hard earned pennies and spending it how they want!

You know the funny thing here? This is EXACTLY the type of welfare Palin advocates in Alaska.

Do you, like Obama, believe that the government can spend your money better than you can???

Alaskans own the resources, so they get to tax them as much as they like. Guess what? This year Alaskans are getting $3,200 for doing nothing, all while, since the state owns this, they are getting a terrible percentage of profits, to come out as a tax to give to a few rich a$$holes on a board. If that isn't welfare, I don't know what is.

Difference is, you were likely brought up in uneducated circles with some religious-like coining of taxes as "evil". But you certainly don't mind it so long as it's not called "taxes", and as long as it's supported by a Republican. Sounds an awful like selective outrage against gays marrying, instead calling them something other than "marriage". Absolutely stupid.

I don't know where to start, there's just so much wrong there.

I know, so much wrong. You can see all the wrongness that has wronged people wrongly. Am I wrong?

Thanks, you just made me like her even more. She is really sweet. A true Washington outsider, new face to politics, just what we need in this country.

...I can guarantee she doesn't have those radical associations like Barack Hussein Obama, wow!!! Black liberation theology for 20+ years. Could you imagine!!! Getting your daughters baptized by a guy that says "GD America", "US of KKK of A"!!! That alone is a bad omen.

Then you got his pal Ayers who bombed the US Pentagon, NYC Police Headquarters, dedicated a book to the man that assassinated our wonderful president John F. Kennedy!!! On top of that Barack has no experience!!! He picks a Washington insider as his running mate that has been in the Senate since his 20s!! Biden is supposed to be the foreign policy expert and he voted against the Gulf War to allow Saddam to capture Kuwait, then he realized he was wrong on Kuwait so he took a chance and voted for the Iraq war!!! Then he voted against the surge!!!! Then he proposed segregating Iraq into 3 separate areas, one section Sunni, one Shi'ite, and one Kurdish, with a central government in Baghdad!!! What about the areas of Iraq that are diverse?? Do you kick them out of their homes and tell them to move to the part of the country that is segregated to just their kind???? His foreign policy plan spelled two words: CIVIL WAR!!! Then there is Obama's tax policies, tax the job creators (rich) in an already weakened economy and you get more jobs?? That doesn't make sense? First its keep taxes low on families making 300K, then 250K, then 200K, then 150K, now its 120K??? Force struggling small business owners to supply their employees with health care??? They are struggling enough to stay afloat!!! Double the capital gains tax??? Obama is for helping the poor but his brother lives in Kenya off of $12 a year? His aunt lives in public housing? Tony Rezco?? ACORN??? Endorsed by Hamas?? Farrakhan?? Something just isn't adding up, too many red flags!!!

The guy said "UGHHH, Iran, Cuba, UGHHH, Venezuela, these are small countries, UGHHH, there not as big a threat as, UGHHH, UGHHH, Russia!!

BTW - who would put a man in office that was at the bottom two of his entire class..LOL At least Obama is highly educated.

Highly educated and the #1 most liberal Senator in the country. Votes present on tough issues. Junior Senator. No experience. Never ran anything in his life but a campaign. No business experience. No experience. Wants to spread the wealth around.

Highly educated but very radical and very poor judgment:

Rezco-Convicted felon that purchased the adjacent lot to Obama's multi-million dollar home the exact same day Obama bought his mansion, if Rezco didn't do this, Obama would not have been able to buy his mansion.

Ayers- Stomped on the US flag, former domestic terrorist, dedicated a book to the man that assassinated Kennedy, and Obama worked with this guy and even blurbed one of his books.

Wright- He said GD America, how can you be president when your pastor of 20 years says things like GD America? The (white) government created the AIDS virus to exterminate blacks? US of KKK of America?

With every breath that's in me, I hope and pray that you and everybody like you is so depressed on Wednesday morning that you pack your bags and leave the country.

Because whether it's McCain or Obama, this nation would be better off without hate-mongers like you.

amen to that. she is totally clueless and angry, bad combination.

Do you really hope and pray that I will be depressed on Wednesday, to the point where I pack my bags and leave the country? Correct me if I am wrong, but what you said was hate, what I reported about Rezco, Ayers, and Wright is only the very scary and dangerous truth.

This sounds like something one of those unhappy Democrats would say, another perk to being a Republican, we are much happier!! (See article below, Republicans much happier than Democrats)

Some 45% of all Republicans report being very happy, compared with just 30% of Democrats and 29% of independents. This finding has also been around a long time; Republicans have been happier than Democrats every year since the General Social Survey began taking its measurements in 1972. Pew surveys since 1991 also show a partisan gap on happiness; the current 16 percentage point gap is among the largest in Pew surveys, rivaled only by a 17 point gap in February 2003.

Could it be that Republicans are so much happier now because their party controls all the levers of federal power? Not likely. Since 1972, the GOP happiness edge over Democrats has ebbed and flowed in a pattern that appears unrelated to which party is in political power.

For example, Republicans had up to a 10 and 11 percentage point happiness edge over Democrats in various years of both the Carter and Clinton presidencies, and as small as a three and five percentage point edge in various years of the Reagan and first Bush presidencies. Also, we should explain here a bit about how our survey questionnaire was constructed. The question about happiness was posed at the very beginning of the interview, while the question about political affiliation was posed at the back end, along with questions about demographic traits. So respondents were not cued to consider their happiness through the frame of partisan politics. This question is about happiness; it is not a question about happiness with partisan outcomes.

Of course, there's a more obvious explanation for the Republicans' happiness edge. Republicans tend to have more money than Democrats, and -- as we've already discovered -- people who have more money tend to be happier.

But even this explanation only goes so far. If one controls for household income, Republicans still hold a significant edge: that is, poor Republicans are happier than poor Democrats; middle-income Republicans are happier than middle-income Democrats, and rich Republicans are happier than rich Democrats.

Might ideology be the key? It's true that conservatives, who are more likely to be Republican, are happier than liberals, who are more likely to be Democrats. But even controlling for this ideological factor, a significant partisan gap remains. Conservative Republicans are happier than conservative Democrats, and moderate/liberal Republicans are happier than liberal Democrats.

So....

Religion Matters...but nobody has a problem with Palin's daughter having a child out of wedlock?

So....

Family Matters...but nobody has a problem with McCain leaving his first wife, Carol McCain.

While John McCain was a POW, she took care of their home and their 3 children. But McCain returned from Vietnam in 1973,

his wife had been in a car accident, and didn't look exactly like the swimwear model he married.

By 1980 he abandoned and divorced Carol McCain. One month later, he married Cindy McCain. Rich, beautiful, and 18 years younger.

Cindy McCain...claims to be an only child, but the truth is her father had another daughter. The father left his inheritance to Cindy,

and her half sister Kathleen got nothing. Are John and Cindy McCain taking care of their families?

Notice how the relevant rebuttals go unanswered. Not surprising.

yeah there are probably sheep on Obama's side but here are also sheep on McCain's side that let him get away with everything..

I just wish people could see that...

and for the record I think McCain would make an ok president... I am just worried about his choice for VP and that she has a very real chance of being president...

I am also not sure if Obama will be a good president either... *shrugs*..

Since you are so uninformed, lets talk a little about charity family

Start with Obama, coming from the Huffington Post:

OBAMA ON CHARITY = PATHETIC

From 2000 through 2004, the senator and his wife never gave more than $3,500 a year in charitable donations -- about 1 percent of their annual earnings.

That is really pathetic.

In 2005, however, that total jumped to $77,315 (4.7 percent of annual earnings), and to $60,307 in 2006 (6.1 percent). Taken as a whole, these disbursements made up a small portion of Obama's annual income. According to TaxProf Blog, the Illinois senator gave "well short of the biblical 10% tithe for all seven years."

When he started to get rich off of his books and decided to run for president, he thought to himself, maybe I should give a little more?...What does he do, he gives more than $27,000 to his radical black liberation theology church!!!

MCCAIN ON CHARITY

Senator McCain donates his royalties from his books to charitable organizations. This sum has totaled over $1,800,000 since 1998 when he signed his first book deal. Senator McCain's book income of $256,898 for 2006 and 2007 is comprised of earnings for Faith of My Fathers, Worth the Fighting For, Why Courage Matters, Character is Destiny, and Hard Call. Beginning in 1991, Senator McCain has also donated the increase in his Senate salary for that year and each subsequent year to charity because he opposed the Congressional pay increase at that time and pledged not to accept the pay raises. The cumulative total of these donations is over $450,000.

2006

In 2006, Senator and Mrs. McCain donated $129,390 from community assets to charity, of which Senator McCain's one-half allocation was $64,695. This is 19% of his adjusted gross income.

2007

In 2007, Senator and Mrs. McCain donated $210,933 from community assets to charity, of which Senator McCain's one-half allocation is $105,467. This is 27.2% of his adjusted gross income for the year.

McCain's Family:

McCain's family is as complicated as it is large. As they did in childhood, the McCain children still find one another by their father's side: in rafting boats, on hikes in the Grand Canyon, on mopeds in Bermuda, and relaxing in Arizona. There are the children from his first marriage - Doug (adopted stepson-pilot for American Airlines) and Andy (adopted stepson, VP at Hensley & CO), from his first wife's former marriage - whom he adopted when they were young, as well as a daughter, Sidney (works in music industry). Then there is the second family: Meghan (journalist, author, voted Kerry in 2004, thankfully she recently converted to Republican), Jimmy (20 year old marine, stationed in Iraq), Jack (22, in the US Naval Academy), and the McCains' adopted daughter, Bridget, 17 .....What a story - many years ago while visiting one of Mother Teresa's orphanages in Bangladesh, Cindy McCain's heart went out to a baby with a cleft palate, and another with a hear condition. Cindy brought both babies back home, paid off necessary surgeries and medical care, and adopted one, while friend Nicki Gullett adopted the other. It was extraordinary to see Bridget McCain on stage with her adopted family! This is true selflessness.

How much of your money do you give to charities, greatgate?
