    Go ahead take another turn. Free spin on us. You know you want to. Come on Spin it!

    I agree with ColAmerica and Sarge- These guys are the voice of reason and moderate thinking inbetween loads of extremist views. The heat is on Pbama and Biden, to prove they can be trusted, so far the public says no, and i agree wholeheartedly.

    Guys, let`s looka t the facts is a balanced way, without any spin. McCain and Palin are a Republican dream ticket. You have a world respected statesman and war hero, and a young intelligent working mother, with high morals.

    This combination will appeal to a lot more folks than Obama and Biden.

    There is no heat on the Palin McCain ticket, they will walk dignified staright into the Whithouse. The future looks bright with this team.

    And that`s a wrap....

    "with high morals."

    Shame you have to be high to have 'em...

    Yes, it's always interesting when the Democrats get a bounce in the polls from a Republican convention.

    Must be all those reminders...all those things the Republicans would like people to forget. Maybe that's why the Palin circus has rolled into town. And I hear that the young man who is supposed to marry the daughter is in town and will join the family on stage. More tawdry, titilating stuff for those who couldn't get enough of the Starr Report.

    The idea Bristol and her boyfriend Levi will be able to make a go of it as a couple raising a child is just plain nuts:

    According to reports, his name is Levi Johnston and he is a high school hockey player. But check this out. On his MySpace page, he allegedly said, ” don’t want kids”.

    Also, he appears pretty aimless in terms of realistic goals:

    ‘But I live to play hockey. I like to go camping and hang out with the boys, do some fishing, shoot some s*** and just chillin’ I guess’ He added: ‘Ya f *** with me I’ll kick [your] ass’

    Nice mainstream source Betzee.......Slime away.

  • Betzee at 10:51 PM JST - 3rd September

    If you doubt the veracity of the information it's available from other sources, Sailwind.

    I doubt many Americans would see Levi, whose maturity level is probably not that different from many of his peers, as someone ready to settle down and assume adult responsibilities. The responsible thing to do here would to find a mature couple looking to adopt a child:

    THE teenager expecting a baby with the unmarried 17-year-old daughter of Sarah Palin is expected to be publicly unveiled at the Republican Party convention.

    But Levi Johnston, 18, has created a further stir, describing himself on his MySpace page as a ``redneck who likes to snowboard and ride dirt bikes".

    The description appears in a profanity-laden entry posted by Johnston that was made private over the weekend, but not before several media outlets published parts of it.

    Nice Betzee.... You've brought about enough proof to invade Iraq on WMD.

    Try again maybe the slime will stick.

  • Betzee at 11:00 PM JST - 3rd September

    If the McCain people had properly vetted Palin someone would have gone onto myspace and checked out Levi's profile (access was not restricted to his friends which many parents of minor children require). And they would have high tailed south and told McCain to go with Mittens, Tumi luggage and all.

    Alternatively, McCain could have stood up to the religious right and said, "I'll pick the person I think would make the best VP in my administration, Joseph Lieberman."

    Now they are stuck with Levi.

    Betzee, you know it ain't so until Rush Limbaugh says it is!

  • Betzee at 11:07 PM JST - 3rd September

    Good Donkey,

    Earlier we got a song and dance from RR about how conservatives step up the plate and assume responsibility unlike liberal layabouts.

    Even if you go for the bad boy type, Levi's kinda scrapping the bottom of the barrel. No wonder they tried to keep him hidden!!!

  • Sarge at 11:22 PM JST - 3rd September

    Good grief, now we've got Betzee and the goodDonkey ripping the boyfriend of the daughter of a vice presidential candidate. Hey, do you think you can dig up some dirt on his mother or father?

  • Betzee at 04:44 AM JST - 4th September

    Sailwind,

    It's clear young Levi has no interest in getting a job, otherwise he would not have posted a profanity-laden profile on MySpace. I impressed this upon my own 19-year old nephew, pointing out that potential employers google names and you don't want to give them any "character issues" to disqualify you from consideration. I'm also acting in locus parentus for a 17-year old Chinese girl now making her way in a much more sexually permissive culture. Her parents entrusted the responsibility of guiding her through it to me and I won't them, or her, down.

    By contrast the Palins, who signed on for the real deal, should have their heads examined for trying to marry their pregnant, doe-eyed daughter off to a thug like Levi. He will likely father other children out of wedlock, if he hasn't already. And he has no discernible job skills to support even one kid.

    How does Governor Palin address the issue beyond her own family? We know she favors an abstentence-only sex ed curriculm for high school students. For those for whom that fails, what are the resources available to them? Well, in Alaska there's less since she used her line-item veto to slash 20 percent of funding for Covenant House, which administers a state program that offers expectant teens job training and a place to live. http://voices.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2008/09/02/palinslashedfundingtohelp.html

    When Uncle Sam has to dole out more welfare checks, I don't want to hear carping from the Right, it's the predictable outcome of the policies you have put in place.

    'You must understand printing lies about Republican candidates is OK. It’s called “vetting.” Printing the truth about liberals - that’s called “swift-boating.” '
