These bitch-whores didn't just createt the idea he's a muslim terrorist all by themselves.

It is, after all, his campaign. He's in charge.

So, in a sense, he already is dubya.

Another one

After  acknowledging "Hockey moms, soccer moms, baseball moms," Gov. Palin introduced Lee Greenwood.  Mr. Greenwood noted that the wrong song was playing. He then asked everyone to put their hands on their hearts and help him sing the National Anthem.

The sound crew then cued up the song the crowd expected Greenwood to perform, and he burst into his hit "God Bless the U.S.A."

1:40 p.m.

The press pool has arrived at Riverfront Sports. Gov. Palin should arrive shortly.

1:25 p.m.

Chris Hackett addressed the increasingly feisty crowd as they await the arrival of Gov. Palin.

Each time the Republican candidate for the seat in the 10th Congressional District mentioned Barack Obama the crowd booed loudly.

One man screamed "kill him!"

Supporters have been noted shouting “kill him,” “terrorist,” “off with his head” and other equally incendiary terms about Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama. Others have directly suggested Mr. Obama is a Muslim, which he is not, or a traitor. Some comments even drew rebuke from Republican presidential nominee John McCain.

Other than the lone man, there were no other such outbursts.

When McCain says he's going to reduce spending, why doesn't anyone ask him if that includes one of the largest areas of spending: the Iraq War?

Meanwhile on Planet Reality, we like our infrastructure maintenance, our disaster assistance, our civil protection, and our education.

Sounds like a job for your state and local governments.

Yes it would sound like it. However, interstate highways are a federal mandate. Disaster assistance is as wel once it moves past local resources. Civil protection is still under local control. Education,... HA. Right. No child left behind pretty much destroyed the last vestiges of that.

Freezing spending does not equal no spending you know.

Yes it does. Freezing the level of spending does not however. Doing that doesn't add up with other things he said he was gonna do either though. For instance, how can you invest in nuclear if you stop or don't increase spending. He is full of smurf on the freeze, full of smurf on the investments he promised, and/or incredibly out of touch with reality.

They are both full of smurf on their promises, the last 2 months changed what they can do.

Freezing spending won't do it. I mean Jesus, the current crew has the national debt approaching 100% of GDP, a truly insane level (that's just my estimate, it's damn hard to keep track). If they want to avoid insolvency (or a Japan-style slow slide into the abyss) they're going to have to make some very steep cuts and run major surpluses for many years.

Probably. We really won't know how much they grew the debt for a few years so how much needs cut is up for debate. Simply freezing spending at current levels though will do more than you realize. 3% annual growth in programs (Bush was more like 11% average in domestic programs his first term) doubles the spending every 24 years.

Yet freezing spending won't help at this point because debt servicing will become a bigger and bigger item in the budget as long as the principal is untouched. If spending is frozen, then cuts will have to be made to accommodate the growing interest payments. I think a freeze on spending would have been a really useful idea -- back in 2001 or so. Now? Waste of time.

Previous governments tried to grow their way out of such crunches, but you folks are entering a major recession (and a potentially catastrophic one at that).

Everyone knows what has to happen.
The military gets cut dramatically, taxes go up just to pay for what we currently have and can't afford at current funding, and benefits get cut.
Won't Obama and the Dems just be loved when they do all that.

Gotta freeze spending NOW (because the liberals have arrived!)

Or:

They could bring down a package of regulations to slash the amount of money spent on health care, take a piece of the savings and help their bottom line that way. Throw some targeted taxes into the mix, aimed at things like SUVs, water wastage or what have you.

I think they will be loved if they do that.
