mar4eO,

Obama simply stole sum of RNC's thunder like McCain did when he announced Palin. If anything it shows he has the courage to stand up to his critics on their turf. It also shows he truly believes in the things he trying to do for this country. Remember he was a community leader there has never been in money it that profession. You have to really want to do it.

McCain doesn't have the guts or the ability to that. I think the days leading up he might be even more skiddish when ask to give details about anything. He hasn't laid any concrete evidence of what he is going to do. Mrs. Palin has stated she didn't even know what the VP did. It will be the same as before if he is elected.

Now he is even trying to still Obama's theme talking about change. He is either following Bush or following Obama. Where is the leadership?

Whitehawk,

She didn't stand up for the "Bridge to Nowhere". It has already been pointed out that she did it only after the rest of the country got in on the act and condemned it. Where was her toughness then? Sounds like she followed the crowd.

jwills79: "I think the youngest son might be Bristol's."

You are easily deceived.

Obama: "it's ( the surge ) succeeded beyond our wildest dreams"

Too bad he didn't support it, eh?

Mods - 8 of the 10 threads in the "popular topics" section on the homepage are related to the US election. While this is of great interest to some, and mild interest to many, this is a Japan site.

Would there be away of highlighting those topics about Japan which are popular and segregating those from stories from the international news section?

Sarge,

How I am easily deceived? Have you done any research about the Bristol's history. I have that is why I know it is possible. It is a fact she was out of school 5 months right before the child was born. Add the extra 4 months when you couldn't really notice the pregnancy and this makes it possible. palin apparently went back to work like the next day after the birth. You don't see something might not add up. If you haven't and you just believe what the Republicans say then you are easily deceived. Like I said it might be hers.

It is not really important whether he supported it or not. He didn't support the war. If we would have listen all those soldiers would not have died and we probably would have killed or captured Osama by now. Remember he was the real enemy. No one knew for sure the surge would work. Not even those who came up with the idea. Besides after all the decrease in violence we still have not left, we still have not found WMD and we still have not found Osama. We are billions of dollar in debt. Irag has surplus in the hundreds of millions and now we are sending aid to Georgia. Not mention we still have not taking care of the people in New Orleans. The Americans the Republicans care so much about. This was under their watch. Comeback with something else besides one liners and sarcasm.

Why don't you try to answer the questions I laid out for Whitehawk?

Here's some material for Palin's next speech:

What's the difference between a "community organizer" and a seeing-eye dog? Even a blind man can see the dog is actually helping someone.

What's the difference between a "community organizer" and a Chihuahua? The Chuhuahua will eventually shut up.

What's the difference between a "community organizer" and a pit bull? Teeth.

What's the difference between a "community organizer" and a puppy? One will grow up to become a loyal servant of mankind.

What's the difference between a "community organizer" and a shihtzu? Zu.

jwillis79:

How about you defend Palin and her husband's support of the AIP.

Easy. There is no evidence, even on Kos where people make up anything they want, that Sarah Palin ever supported secession.

How about you defend Palin wanting to everyone to leave her daughter alone and allow her to make a her own choice about keeping her baby. Yet, she wants to make it a law that no other woman in the country should have that right.

She can want all she wants, but congress will be controlled by a Democrat majority during McCain's term, so even if she becomes president, any Supreme Court nominee that agrees with her would never make it through the nomination process. I doubt such a judge would even make it past a Republican-controlled congress, for that matter.

Why don't you defend Guilani, Palin and McCain who ridicule people for being community leaders and trying to make a difference.

Because Obama's idea of a community organizer consisted of association with a unrepentent domestic terrorist in a group that had no definitive purpose and no accountability, a group infamous for voter fraud, and something that resembled a youth corps like one in Germany back in the 30's and 40's.

Didn't McCain say in his acceptance speech people should get out and volunteer and help America?

Yes. But he said it doesn't qualify someone to be president.

Why don't you defend Palin's claim she has Foreign Policy Experience simply based on the fact Alaska is close to Russia.

Why is foreign policy experience only questioned when it's a Republican governor? Why didn't I hear such questions about a governor from Arkansas, a governor from Georgia, or a Senator from Illinois? Why has it just been when it's a governor of Texas or Alaska?

Hmmm, this broadcast hasn't been deleted everywhere. Sarah palin does support AIP.

Wow. Talk about unsubstantiated rumor-mongering. We all realize, of course, that anyone playing the "Nazi" card essentially loses the argument by default. Any shred of credibility you may have had went out the window with that thinly-veil insinuation, along with that of those who seem to insist Palin is pretending to be the bearer of her daughter's alleged first child.

I mean really, is this what the proud supporters of the RNC have been reduced to? First Obama was a Muslim sleeper agent. Then he was a communist. Now he's a closet fascist? You folks really need to get your poop together, dig deep, and restore some of your past credibility.

In the meantime, Palin's support of the AIP doesn't appear to be all that "made up." Her husband was a member (a matter of public record), and she seems to think that the work the AIP is doing is "good work." Not very reassuring.

Barack has stood up to her. He won't be bullied!
USARonin at 05:51 PM JST - 9th September

'Bullied'?

If you think that's 'bullyin'', you may not be able to handle what's comin'.

What Palin's said ain't nothin' compared to what the RNC has taped Hillary as sayin' about Obama. You'll be readin' and hearin' a bunch of it soon, I figure, no matter how hard you try not to.

Hidey ho!

Can't really blame Palin for mocking Obama. She was probably influenced by Hillary who did a lot of that. A lot of Democrats no doubt will conveniently forget those comments though.

Such a huge country and these 4 people are the best you can come up with?
Hoss1 at 06:24 PM JST - 10th September

I am so sick of the "something is going to come out soon about Obama" posts. What? Do you guys have a private line to the McCain campaign? You know something that the rest of the world doesn't? If you think you have some inside dope on the candidate, just say it. It's almost as absurd as McCain saying that he "knows how to catch Bin Laden". If you know how Johnny, why don't you tell the rest of us so we can get the guy who attacked us instead of your proposed 100 more years in Iraq?

A lot of Democrats no doubt will conveniently forget those comments though.

The comment that all Americans, Republican and Democrat alike, should remember is Sarah Palin's response during a 2006 Alaska governor's debate when she claimed that if her daughter, then 16, were impregnated as the result of being raped, Ms. Palin would hope that the girl would “choose life,” which is a polite way of saying she would expect a tenth-grader to give birth to her rapist’s baby. (This ought to relegate the Dukakis rape question to ancient history once and for all.)

While Hillary's "18 million cracks" was a good thing, it's just too bad the Republicans had to go with the crackpot.
