I agree, Sarah Palin is a MAJOR distraction
To all who are major players in this election, especially Democrats,
I am banking on you to make it a most that this masquerade by the
Republicans does not become a soap opera on TV.

I implore you to work your hardest, smartest and use good judgment
to make sure these people do not, I repeat, DO NOT get near the White
House.


Sarah Palin does not

Put food on my table

Help with foreclosure

Price of gas

Unemployment

Jobs shipped overseas

Health Care

Education

Foreign Affairs

Build roads and brigdes

This Election is too important to allow some teleprompter Journalist
to dissuade you from talking about issues that matters to America
in this election with some scripted sheet.

As you can see, 4 days of LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES
DISTORTION DISTORTION DISTORTION DISTORTION AND FAIRY TALES


REMEMBER, SARAH PALIN IS A MAJOR DISTRACTION


Thanks for reading

1. I agree as well
This election is too important . Palin is a gimmick, to enthrall the media and get the focus off the real issues.

2. That's her name as far as I'm concerned: Gimmick. Fits her well.

4. I'm hoping they get it
I'm hoping this reaches their better half/sense,
Democrats that is...

After seeing clips of McCain and his new found
sidekick and all the blatant lies they spew, it
is easy to see why these people do not give a shit
about you and me.

They are hateful, spiteful, vindictive in the highest
order, conniving and down right dirty, all rolled up
into one long and poisonous splinter.

8. They are hoping to hide her from the press and drag her out for scripted speeches
I think that is going to get REALLY OLD REALLY FAST.

It's only been a week since anybody outside of wacky RW extremists ever heard of her.

If she just stays with the canned "preaching to the choir" stuff she will be irrelevant at best - and a drag on the ticket at worst, within 2 weeks.

Believe it!

12. We have to apply pressure
for her to face the music, the McCain camp should not be
allowed to dictate how and what procedure the press should
take, Obama has been going through this for 18+ months,
Hillary Clinton has been through this for majority of her
political life, why should she be different???

10. DAMN right she is. That is exactly what she was intended to be...
See HERE:
http://www.thenation.com/blogs/edcut/354368

and HERE:

http://www.alternet.org/election08/97493/palin%3A_the_latest_gop_distraction_the_dems_shouldn%27t_buy/

...

Here's the deal: Palin is the latest G.O.P. distraction. She's meant to shift attention away from the real issue of this campaign -- the awful state of the nation after eight years of Republican rule. The Republicans are brilliant at distractions. Willie Horton was a distraction. The chatter about gays, guns and God has been a long-running distraction. And we all remember the Swift-boat campaign.

If you want a real issue, forget all of the above and revisit Monday's front page of The New York Times. Hundreds of families are being forced out of their homes each month in Louisville, Ky., because of mortgage foreclosures. With record numbers of poor and homeless students, the public schools are struggling.

The crisis has only been made worse by fiscal difficulties facing the schools. Higher energy and other costs, combined with a $43 million cut in state aid, have left the school system in a sorry state.

The reason this should be high on the presidential campaign agendas is that the problems in Louisville are widespread. As Sam Dillon of The Times reported: "As 50 million children return to classes across the nation, crippling increases in the price of fuel and food, coupled with the economic downturn, have left schools from California to Florida to Maine cutting costs."

Even as these districts are cutting back, wrote Mr. Dillon, "the number of poor and homeless children is rising."

That is the kind of substantive issue the Democrats should be focused on: how to educate America's children and improve the quality of their lives; how to bring health care to those going without; how to put America back to work.

To their credit, Senators Obama and Biden seem unwilling to jump aboard the bash-Ms.-Palin bandwagon. Both have been exceedingly mild in their comments about the Alaska governor.

Last week's Democratic convention dramatically illustrated the most effective approach available to the party. The convention built in intensity night by night with featured speakers who focused powerfully on substantive matters.

11. Our focus has to be that
and we have to force the issues, this just shows that the
Republicans does not give a damn about this country all
they care about is lining their individual pockets.

Knowing this, its our responsibility and responsible pundits
that would make the Obama's surrogates stay on message, because
they are the ones that will have to face these poppets sitting
in front of a teleprompter blabbing this distraction <snark>about
Palin not wearing pants or Bristol has just wet herself. <snark>

How desperate must they be to present her as a ploy, I now believe
strongly that the Republicans have this belief that the American
voters are stupid and have short memories, thats the only explanation
I can come up with for such performance coupled with distortions and lies.
Why else would they be so blatant in their lies and distortion.....:shrug:
