This just in by way of Josh Marshall at TPM, Palin's husband was a member of that Alaska separatist party until she started to run for office in 2002.

That old fool and his handlers are using the word "whiners" to backtrack and officially re-state what it was he was trying to convey in the first place.

It makes him and the McCain campaign look stupid (as well they are).

Oh my God. And you people think that the republicans give a shit what the American people think and how this administration has all but destroyed everything?

The republicans only care about lobbyists, rich, and well-connected. They have a hostile contempt for the middle class and poor.

I've never been particularly fond of being called "you people".
How about you?

The reason why the McCain camp must have leaked the news about Bristol Palin's pregnancy, may be because they wanted to distract the people from the worse one - that Palin's son is really her grandson. Notice that is not mentioned anymore?

Well McCain hired Tucker "McCain fathered a black baby" Eskew. Kinda makes his attachment to Gramm seem tame.

Perhaps, Phil and others can make a speech at the convention and proclaim that if you are not with us you are against us. If you are not part of our family values party then you are a bunch of liberal unpatriotic whiners with no morals! You hear me? You're scum! Just like my buddies, Rove and Rush, agree you are just a bunch of liberal scumbags.
You non-republicans only care about wanting more and yet you are not working hard enough to have what we have. If you have sent your son or daughter to Iraq then be glad they are fighting for freedom and stop whining about how they don't have enough armour. Stop whining about gas and health care. That American Dream is all an illusion anyway. Why can't you liberals be more like the Chinese? They never complain! No wonder your jobs have been shipped to China and India.

If Palin is McCain's soul-mate does he believe in everything that she stands for like Iraq being a task from God, teenage pregnancy, pre-marital sex, being a secessionist, firing people over family disputes and Ted Stevens.

Must read. Philadelphia Daily News.
This must be the reason why they disclosed Bristol's pregnancy...so that people like us will not probe into Sarah Palin's bizarre baby delivery.

Wow! This should be checked out. This could be the sandbag that caved the levee.

Bristol's FIRST baby born with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. In secret, in Anchorage. Before 18 April. That's my theory. I am waiting for it to be disproved.

"...you're (the GOP) not economically illiterate..."

This is just ridiculous and more insulting than "whiners." Have they checked the National Debt lately? Why are GOPers unable to control spending and deficits?

It is THEIR PARTY who are economically illiterate and reckless.

Concerning both of the Palin's membership in the Alaskan Independence Party (which is a fringe group advocating that the 49th state declare itself a sovereign nation):

The AIP platform states that the purpose of the party is to "seek the complete repatriation of the public lands, held by the federal government, to the state and people of Alaska in conformance with Article 1, Section 8, Clause 17, of the federal constitution ... To prohibit all bureaucratic regulations and judicial rulings purporting to have the effect of law, except that which shall be approved by the elected legislature ... To support the privatization of government services ...”

How's that for a PATRIOTIC Vice Presidential candidate? Wonder what the Dem's will do with this...

That's right, Phil: insult the Undecideds. Putz!

Rove at the RNC

'Karl Rove, the political mastermind of President Bush's campaigns, tried to pump up Ohio's delegates to the Republican National Convention this morning, telling them the state promises to be just as crucial in this year's presidential election as it was in 2004 and 2000.

"Guess what? You're it again,'' he said.

Rove warned delegates at their hotel in downtown Minneapolis that they shouldn't be fooled into thinking that the latest high-tech gizmos for tracking down voters will be enough to beat Democrats.

"All the technology in the world doesn't matter unless you care,'' he said.'

Asked by one Ohioan whether there's anything to help Republicans turn out their vote this year similar to a 2004 Ohio ballot initiative to ban gay marriage, Rove said he thought the marriage issue was a factor in 2004 not only in Ohio, but also in states where it wasn't on the ballot.

"I'll tell you what brought out the vote in Ohio,'' he said. "You did."

Any plans to monitor those ballot boxes, touch screens, whatever you have in Ohio are totally necessary! The Evil One is rousing his minions...
