I don't hear the republicans actually acknowledging that there is an economical problem.

Some of the speakers definitely mentioned it tonight. Several talked about the national debt and spending beyond the means. Don't they realize that George W. Bush has been the biggest spending president since LBJ? Didn't Republicans…

American politics has always been a contest between the imperfect and the downright evil. And for the last 75 years, the Democrats have been simply imperfect.

I've been watching the Republican campaign all evening. (Former HP CEO Carly Fiorina is speaking now.) I can't help but feel that the party is absolutely schizoid.

One speaker, Anne Beiler (founder of AuntieAnne's Pretzels), gave a very inspiring, religious-based talk on the need to care for the poor and…

Then, seeing that she does have a husband, is it not too far out there to believe that, while Mrs. Palin is serving as Veep, her husband could take care of the children?

For a woman to give birth to a baby and to be back on the job…

The articles don't have to be attack pieces, that's for the Kos crowd. All they have to do is ignore the privacy request, which they're gleefully doing.

Most people would regard "going after" someone "oozing with hatred" as you claimed in your original post as an attack.

And so…

As to the title of this topic, The Washington Post has just published an article stating that Palin was only subject to an extensive interview ONE DAY before the pick was made.

The detailed questionnaire that all prospective candidates were supposed to fill out did not contain details of Palin's…

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…

Palin would back him all the way, she sure won`t appease our enemies like teh cowards, Obama and Biden.

And I'm hoping that, after the election, Sarge(Schultze) and Col(Klink)America will start to share what they've been smoking with the others.

Tough decisions? How about [Palin] cutting her own salary as mayor? She quit the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission in protest over ethics issues in her own political party. She publicly called Ted Stevens out on the investigation focused on him. She sold the jet her predecessor purchased.…

I just went to the NYT's website, and they have three articles on Palin's daughter...Oh yeah, they're respecting the Palin family's privacy all right.

None of the articles you mentioned has anything resembling "going after" the mother or the daughter. There is nothing resembling the "hatred"…
