I think it is a fair question to ask you where you got the information that Sen McCain doesn’t really want to BE President; he just wants to win an election. As reasonable as that may sound to you, it seemed quite unlikely to me.

My “opinion” concerning Joe Six Pack was based on what I read in these threads, where many people attribute opinions and perspectives to the average guy that paid, seasoned commentators do not. In fact, often, these very same paid, seasoned commentators attribute quite different opinions and perspectives to Mr. Six Pack, whether they are liberals or conservatives.

I never said no one but myself has the finger on the pulse of Joe Six Pack. In fact, when I proffered the opinion that most liberals are unacquainted with real life, I quoted from a Stanford economist who I believe through his knowledge of demographics and consumer economics is a veritable font of knowledge about Mr. Six Pack.

Not only are most of my opinions informed, but I can tell you where they came from, and when and how they were formed.

When will she visit the Troops!

So did Bush. He also told a blind man to take off his shades. So what?

OMG! They’re back. I no sooner reported The Democratic National Committee consigned to the dumper, than it popped up again at the 9-11 Forum On Public Service & Civic Engagement. Held at Columbia University, “impartial moderators” Richard Stengel, managing editor of TIME along with PBS NewsHour Senior Correspondent and Political Editor Judy Woodruff, moderated the forum staged by Service Nation, “a new nationwide coalition.” While no relation to journalist Bob Woodruff, Judy is married to Al Hunt executive editor of The Bloomberg News, DC, bureau. Bloomberg also reported that, “she [Sarah Palin] was arrested 22 years ago on a drunken-driving charge.” The next day, Judy Woodruff reflected on the experience with NewsHour’s Steve Goldbloom. Judy, who espouses a civilian counterpart to the military conceded that while 9-11 might not have been the most auspicious date, the candidates stayed true to the service mission, as if John McCain were somehow onboard with a civilian mission with military authority. Anyway, The DNC reemerged as The [International] Provisional People’s Collective Party, or PCP. And, guess what the PCP has in store for America: Political Officers, Commissars. The title Commissar refers to either a People’s Commissar (government), or a Political Commissar (military). In the Soviet Union, the Institute of Political Commissars was established to control the military. The state security organizations, KGB, etc., and or People’s Commissars also controlled the Soviet Army, together with the entire Soviet State. Compulsory Public Service is the future. All men will be judged politically; anti-Marxist sentiment shall be crushed. But we first require a state organ with which to train the political functionaries who will hold coequal rank and authority. And although they never mention it at the forum, welcome comrade to Hillary’s National Public Service Academy: http://theseedsof9-11.com

Where do you get your information?

The amount of media attention focused on a VP pick seems more-or-less inversely proportional to their previous national exposure, perhaps throwing in a variable for cosmetic factors (moose hunting, disabilities mother, etc., etc.) that people like to read about in US weekly.

Perhaps because she’s an unknown on the national stage and people don’t know anything about her? It really isn’t that hard to figure out.

At the same time, it doesn’t seem to bother you in the slightest that McCain and Palin have lied repeatedly about her record.

You go on to suggest that more Dems focus on McCain’s blatant lying about Palin’s record, the more people will support the Republican ticket.

If you want to concern troll, perhaps, you should do it on a rightwing blog where you could argue that maybe telling the truth might be a good thing and supporting liars for president, isn’t. Just a thought.

Why so microscopically focused on the Rep’s VP pick? Who’s talking about Biden?

No one cares- he’s not running for President. He told a man in a wheelchair to stand up, told the world Obama bungled his pick for VP, and revealed he’s a miser of Ebeneezer Scrooge proportions. And that’s just in the last 3 days. No one is rally talking about it for a reason. He doesn’t matter. Believe me, if the strategy was to take this man down, there is plenty of ammunition. The better strategy is to ignore the gasbag- his experience only makes Obama’s look inadequate in comparison, as does the arrival of Palin.

Your undying obsession with this woman only makes her more popular. You will have only yourselves to blame for fanning the flames of her rise in popularity. Sure, you guys will hate her more and you will take great comfort in that, but it’s just sad to see you guys not being able to get out of your own way.

When interviewed her actual understanding can be summed up thusly: “Whuu???!!!???”.

No way was I calling Sarah Palin’s accomplishments as being similar to the actual Miracle on Ice hockey game.

I choose my words very carefully and words do matter, and I may not have an Ivy League education, but nevertheless, any correlation between my use of that term in relation to Sarah Palin, is, quite frankly, stretching the bounds of what I would call……..spin.
