Another day, another pack of shiny new lies from Steve StupidSchmidt & Co.

Hey, lookie here!  Nothing going on over by that economy thing.  Boring as hell.  What we've got for ya here is sooo much more entertaining!

Jesus, you just KNOW that their internal polls are shit. Reminds me of a Jerky Boys sketch of a cantankerous old man yelling at an insurance rep about an accident he was in: "Punitive damages! Sue you, sue me... sue everybody!"

"REFORMERS" on their ticket...They must be thinking of the reformers up there in Alaska doing their good work on trooper gate! Stopping and obstructing an investigation! Alas, Palin is a sorry mistake for a VP candidate that will be forever recalled as the the LOSER for their ticket!

They're desperate. Lies and constant whining is all they have left.

Sullivan's not a Democrat. He's just a libertarian who is stunned how far off the map the Republican Party is these days.

Andrew Sullivan. The Andrew Farging Sullivan, writer and right-wing tool is an Obama Democrat?

WTF?!?!? Now, I know I have slipped into Bizzaro World.

I think that Kos diary was only up for a couple days and quickly debunked and summarily removed from the site. Sullivan was encouraging Palin to disprove it conclusively, that is to put that nonsense to rest.

Interestingly, the only one that was offsides was the actual Obama campaign member. Perhaps this is the McPTSD campaign's justification for this really weak sauce? Or they're just full of crap.

Fine, I'll go with the second choice

Shorter Sarah Palin: "HEY GUYS, LOOK OVER THERE!!"

Someone earlier put it perfectly. A Campaign of Whiners.

What is this, the day by day McCain/Palin calendar of personal grievance?

The only one injecting Palin's family into the fray is the McCain campaign. It's now the second time today they tried hard to change the subject -- Rezko first, now the Palin family angle.

Oh my god! Someone on the internet said something bad about Sarah Palin! What an outrage! And so unfair too!

Oh wait, was I supposed to use more exclamation points? Damn.

Well, this is the sort of nonsense we've come to expect from the McCain camp at this point. Nice attempt to distract attention from it now being over 3 weeks since Princess Sarah was chosen with her hiding from the media.

Oh, and Andrew Sullivan is a conservative, not a Democrat. Oops.

STOP BLOGGING, Sarah commands! OBEY NOW!!!

Yech!!! Has she never heard of the 1st Amendment?

apparently not! one more disqualifier!

It's disgusting how that family is being pimped. I feel sorry for those kids, they've got troubles and they're being purposefully put out to engender sympathy when those troubles are made public.

You can't leave kids completely out of a presidential campaign, but you don't need to inject them into it. I think Obama has handled his kids well: present, but not in the lime light.

I can no longer stay silent. I delivered Trig but before I entered the birthing suite I was ordered by the hospital administrator to wear a mask over my eyes as well as my mouth. So I'm still not sure whose issue he is.

Why don't they release the birth records?

Is Andrew Sullivan even an American?

All she has to do is show us why she exhibited such bad judgment in travelling all the home from Dallas to have Trig, endangering him in the process as well as not having him prematurely with Downs in a hospital w/ no NICU? Why is that so hard??

Isn't Andrew Sullivan a Republican? She's lucky she's not a democrat. The GOPers would be having a field day with her AKIP mermbership. Their founder Joe Vogler said 'The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government' Imagine what O'Reilly and Hannity would say about her?

Here's an interview with the AKIP on Sarah Palin's involvement

He is a citizen, actually, and you ought to be ashamed of yourself for that post.

Whining is right. Isn't that the way Democrats always lose?

Up is down. Left is right. Failed Democratic strategy is Republican puling desperation. Welcome to Bizzaro Politics '08.

Daily Kos has almost 200,000 people registered, a few of those are Republicans, some are insane, others are 'low information,' many, many are smart and articulate .(IMO)

To: McPalin Campaign:

DKos is not a single-entity-spokesperson.

Speaking of Pailnistas: has anyone noticed Stephen Colbert's new glasses? He hasn't said a word, but somethin' ain't right.

"You could use a conversation overheard at Starbucks to justify just about any charge ever made. Same with Applebees, etc. But that's patently absurd, and just more of her `rile the base' bullshit. If something stupid can be said, you can believe someone at Starbucks has said it."

Kos made a mad-lib, and a pretty good one. You could do this with just about anything.

Wouldn't it be great if McPalin attacks David Brooks as a part of the Obama-Biden team of elitists?
Cheer up folks, this nonsense means we are winning.

I frankly had forgotten she has a family. God knows you can't tell by watching her operate.

I love the little cutie that smoothed her baby brother's hair with her slobber. Isn't that Piper? Who couldn't love a kid named after an airplane?

I hope she gets her mommy back in Alaska soon. (forever)

sometimes I say stupid things on daily kos.

Oh Noez!

If Palin cannot stand up to one diarist on Dkos, then how in the world can she stand up to Putin?

I thought Sarah was a barrapitbull, or something like that...

Couple this with the Davis/Schmidt attack the NYTimes story, and it's clear they are so freaking scared and flailing like idiots now, swinging at anything and everything.

Ben Smith at Politico, of all places, posted a piece about the fact that the McCain campaign's attempt to blame the press just went overboard, and risked making them look, well, like they were trying to lie.

This is just more of the same.

And Andy Sullivan is a Democrat in the same way that I'm Michelle Pfeiffer.

I think Kos overstates the competence of dKos bloggers. There are several stupid things we have not said:

a) Having the VP involved in a religious cult with a military arm is a good thing.
b) McCain understands the economy.
c) The lying is just a transitional thing and will stop if McCain wins.

Aside from the few they could cite, the claims about the pregnancy were made the weekend she was announced and have all but disappeared. I believe they disappeared about the time Obama told everyone family is off-limits!!

But you know, I still hear a lot of slanderous crap from McCain/Palin Republicans about the Obama's... like they're terrorists. I find the terrorist references far more insulting than who's the baby's momma?

Jennifer

Does this mean we can start holding the McCain campaign responsible for all the nuttiness posted at No Quarter, Free Republic, and World Net Daily? We could make them spend the rest of the campaign denouncing all the craziness on those sites.

COME ON NM. HANG IN THERE!!!!

Oh right, that log cabin Democrat, Andrew Sullivan hurt their "wittle fillins". This campaign is such a farce, I can't understand why McCains mother is voting for him!

I am so sick of Palin and McCain's whining. This female is a FIRST CLASS HYPOCRITE! The sight and the sound of her voice nauseates me. As far as her dysfunctional, it was she that paraded them across the stage...a privilege that the Obama family would not have been granted if his daughter was pregnant and not married. Obama has worked hard to get elected in spite of the many odds that he has faced...this PitBull w/lipstick(afemaledog) just rolled her and all of her children like she is entitled to be there simply because she is a female. Obama have demanded that his camp would not attack her family, and this is a ploy to get sympathy before the great debate...and to put Biden on notice. To the racist out, the McCain are insulting your intelligence without the benefits

Well, here's some more Palin-bashing from a Left-wing blog: Take your sessesionist First Dude husband, no abstinence-practicin' daugher and her baby-daddy back to Alaska where all the Republicans who you pissed off can feast on the remains of your political career. And, when you die, I hope polar bears, wolves and moose feast upon your carcass.

Have a nice day, Sarah.

Sarah - Sarah:
Everyone is hitting you so hard, poor liar girl.
Next up is Newsweek Magazine - just have your campaign managers call them out on tomorrow's telephone conference call this one tears you apart:

http://www.newsweek.com/id/160080/page/1

HusseinTenaX.....BRAVO!!!! Your posts are so good that I registed just so I can tell you....Please keep them coming! My friends and I all feel the same as you do, but you have a gift when it comes to posting :-)

I think they are going to re-run the Sean Hannity interview with her from last week over and over, change the background colors and move the questions around. Then they will splice in photos of Obama with William Ayers and play scary music.

Where are Palin's tax returns?

I REALLY REALLY DO STILL want to see those birth records for the secret, invisible Trig pregnancy with the 10-hour interstate labor flight. Kos can call me a nut all he wants but I am not satisfied.

We dont need a so-called christian right-wing nutjob, who believes in unbridled capitalism, scoffs at global warming and kills and hunts wolves and polar bears for pleasure.

The wheels are seriously coming off the cart. Forget a vetting process, did they even bother to tell her the ins and outs of running for an executive level government position? I would assume by now that someone has told her what "it is exactly a vice president does all day", but good god, she makes it sound like the only prerequisite for running for higher office is to be a "good person" and have a wholesome looking family.

I hope Obama can start to capitalize on this and find a way to attack McCain on his dismal record on veteran's rights and benefits. Going by his record, it appears that Republicans love the war, they just dislike the soldier who fights in it.

A couple of weeks ago he had a column about the HIV+ laws and mentioned he might not be able to stay in the US in a year. He is a landed immigrant, not a citizen.

Just FYI.

Oh Puuuhleeeeze.

Dear Sarah :

If you had any right what so ever to be the next Vice President you could answer a single goddamn question without a screener or old daddy McFuckup to rush to your side your sneering coward. And if your fucked up bohunk family couldn't take an ounce of scrutiny then leave them AT HOME...( they obviously didn't read the Good Book you flog everyone else with ) You fed them into the sausage machine and posed them against their will for your own congratulation, and when the equal but opposite occurred, you realised like in so many other areas of your life , you were Simply Not Prepared.
Your team mates have been purely reprehensible in regard to other candidates home lives and personal details both fact and fiction, so I say Your Rules you repugnant fake .

Like all republicans ,you talk a good game and crumble in the rumble. Cowards the lot .

Shortest.Ugliest.Career.In.History.

Where the HECK is Obama?? Hit back on this by insisting on the PROOF that his campaign is doing any such thing. Just like they "airlifted" tons of Democratic operatives in Alaska, too, right? Remember that PHONY nugget?

Note: I am posting this as a reply and a regular post because I don't want anyone left out. I hope this not considered rude or anything. I really have not done this much.

I rarely post because there are so many here who express the same or similar opinions much better than I can write them out.

I have to agree with HelenD (@Sept226:24pm) about the quality of TenaX's posts. But this site is loaded with quality, with some exceptions naturally.

I can't credit them all by name especially since my memory seems lacking.

TheraP, TrollCritic (I really miss those posts, where did they go?), well on second thought...

There are just too many so I think I will just stop here. Maybe I am just a goofball, but I think you guys deserve some credit.

-------------------------

As for fogu2 and the like, I am not a democrat. I am an independent voter who has not been pleased with either party. I have read the interviews, speeches, and watched the clips when available. Whatever Senator McCain may have been in the past, candidate McCain has dishonored it.

I wanted to explain why I came to this conclusion and appeal to you give both sides careful consideration with as little bias as possible. But I realize it is a waste of time.

You aren't going to believe me when I say I came to my conclusion without bias. And since You obviously come here because you enjoy trying to get people riled up, I have to wonder whether bias is playing a major role in your support of McCain. Actually, I sometimes I wonder if you aren't a deliberate caricature.

McCain has trashed his own standards and morals as professed by him in the past.

Sincerely,

Miles Webster

I've always tweaked my conservative friends when they whine about all the "leftist political correctness" that is ruining the debate.

The right-wing version of language scrubbing and forced pluralism is in full swing in regards to Palin.

Please, no more about Sarah "I bite my tongue 'cause it's cute" Palin. Her impact on the media is huge. She's a primary topic in the blogosphere, "People," and the supermarket check-out mags. But her impact on the election is neglegible. Because of her, McCain has picked up a few votes on the far right, and lost a few more in the center. That's it. So no more about the Wasilla Hillbillies. Or else. If I'm forced to come back and comment about this again, I'll be armed with swear words, smears and pith.
