LIEberman has been lying about being a Democrat for years. He and Zell should form their own Party, and call it the Angry Has-Beens.

Joe called himself a Democrat up on that stage. I guess he thought it would give him cred.

his party affiliation, Barack not supporting our our troops,and
McCain being one person and his "own man"!

Joe L., you must be kidding!

As recently as two weeks ago, he wanted YOU for VP pick, and the extreme RW faction
of his campaign group said, NO!- they picked Palin for McCain.

McCain hasn't been "his own man" for some time now.

Barack DOES support our troops and the many veterans
who spoke at our convention last week support this.

John Kerry covered this very well in his interview
last Sunday.

“Counterfeit Lieberman” if medals were given for lying he would have the Gold.
When he gets back to the Senate, the only "seat" he will have is in the outhouse!
Not only did he make an ass of himself, but also he did show us how "rotten" Washington has gotten!

I saw a woman holding a sign up at the Repub convention that said "Keep Kansas Red". That's very disturbing to see someone actually thinks like that. For one thing, if she held a sign like that in the 50's she'd be questioned by McCarthy (joke).

Mostly it's very disturbing to see that's the mentality of the voters in November. They obviously aren't broadminded people in the Midwest if that is the way most of them think. I hope the Midwest can be counted on to vote for the right person. I guess Red is their color. They have no idea that some people have a different perception of it when they see a Red sign held up advocating keeping different people, political or otherwise, out of their State.

Khwahlf, yes I remember that. Times have changed, but not for the absolute good.

I just watched Palin speak at the Repub Convention. I'm disturbed beyond belief. I can say as a fact, she reminds me of certain women, in executive positions in Silicon Valley,that feel they need to be the "b" word to do the job right. And I mean a real "b" word...cut-throat. There's a certain person I'm thinking of that has a real reputation all over the valley. People do not want to work at that company. I don't mean eBay. You wouldn't know that an executive in charge, with this reputation in Silicon Valley, surfs as a hobby.

Watching Palin speak, she distorts her face as she makes a point. It's scary to think of having a person like that in charge of the second highest office in the land. Perhaps the Secret Service should be very watchful of her in McCain's presence. She seems quite ambitious with her own agenda in mind. Some of the words she used in her speech seems almost "dagger-like" as I have seen in certain women executives in Silicon Valley. You won't see men behave like this too much. This is a woman thing.

This is not a sexist point of view. Women executives, like Carly Fiorina, have these types of reputations. Silicon Valley is one place where it plays out.

The people in her audience don't know what they are getting the country into when they vote for her. She mocked community organizers. That should say something by itself. She's all about PROFIT. That's all I heard during the last two days of this convention... PROFIT.

It's "Country First" for PROFIT. Not, "People First".

" friend" to families with disabled children
when you cut the funding for Special Education in Alaska
by 62%?

Sarah Palin Slashed Special Needs Education by 62%

For those of you who seem so enamored with Gov. Sarah Palin, it might be worth noting that she oversees the budget for the Department of Education and Early Development Special Schools in Alaska.
These funds provide supplementary educational services to students with severe disabling conditions and the Alaska Challenge Youth Academy. The resident school where the child would normally be placed does not have the resources to provide an adequate educational program. Without the supplementary services the child’s needs would not be met by the local school district in most cases.
The following programs are included within this component:
Special Education Service Agency (SESA)

The Annual budget for 2007, which preceded Gov. Palin was $8,265,300.

http://www.gov.state.ak.us/...

The Annual budget for 2008, enacted by Gov. Palin is $3,156,000.

http://www.gov.state.ak.us/...

The Annual budget for 2009, enacted by Gov. Palin is $3,156,000.

http://www.gov.state.ak.us/...

This is a cut in special needs services to children in Alaska of 5,109,300 , or 62%.

So, as the Alaska State Budget description states, "Without the supplementary services the child’s needs would not be met by the local school district in most cases."

Did 62% of all of the special needs children in Alaska stop having needs once Gov. Palin took office?

Before we get so excited about Gov. Palin bring her "Reformer" agenda to Washington, perhaps we should get to know a little more about what exactly that means to our children, and the opportunities that she would "Reform".

I'm with all of you about the puking thing. All evening I've been forcing myself to watch this just so I don't miss anything. I watched the audience. I can't believe how nuts they must be to believe in someone they barely know about and has this many family issues going on and has such aggressive postures... all rolled into one.

Between me and my husband, it's sometimes hard when one person in the family is Republican and the other a Democrat. The Republican doesn't want anything to do with his party anymore, but still wants to watch the Show, then gets real upset when he watches and makes himself stressed out over it. He says there should be an Evangelical Party just for them. They don't have to be in the Republican Party if they make a New Evangelical Party. :) Sarah didn't mention religion in her speech. BUT IT'S ALL ABOUT RELIGION for her; she just didn't say it tonight.

I've always wondered why Gore had Lieberman as his VP candidate. I 've never liked Lieberman. I'm sure Gore realizes he made a mistake by now!

Kwahlf, I'm glad you pointed out how she dropped the Special Ed budget by 62%. I had no idea about that. All she did was slam Obama in her speech. It all has to do with her judgement, not about being a mother, but about her lack/caring of judgement. She put her family in the spotlight. She gave her daughter no way out and made her stand on that stage tonight. How awful is that?

I just got my leg scratched by a Huckleberry Bush this weekend. Maybe that was an omen!

Care to elaborate, Ms. Palin?
