  One of the most demeaning, insulting, shallow thought articles I have ever seen published.  The died-in-the-wood liberal socialistic dunderhead who wrote this could REALLY activate one helluva lot of we "silent majority" to go to the polls and kick butt on Hussien.

  THANK YOU.

  Ouch David. I think you're really, REALLY off base here. I will give you the fact that it was a craven pick. But come on, 40 states? Misogyny? Totally missing the fact that Obama and Palin have similar backgrounds and the only difference is that she ISN'T on the top of the ticket? You're a better political observer than this.

  Similar backgrounds?

  Let's see:

  Obama: Occidental College, Columbia University, Harvard Law.  Ran a community organization, taught at University of Chicago, then served 7 years in the state Senate followed by 4 years in the US Senate.

  Palin: University of Idaho.  Worked as a sportscaster, and briefly in commercial fishing.  Runner-up in a beauty contest.  4 years on city counsil in Wasilla, AK (population estimated between approx. 5500-8000 depending on source), followed by 2 terms as mayor of same.  18 months' experience as Governor of Alaska.

  So in other words, her total time in the political world is only a year or so less than Obama's.  In that regard, their experience is similar.  And they both smoked pot (granted, I'm quoting Palin's Wikipedia page for that so it's not 100% even though it's cited).  But does 8 years in a small town (half as mayor) plus a year and a half as Governor of a small state equal 7 years in the state Senate and 4 in the US Senate representing one of the largest states?  Does her educational and work background equal Obama's?

  I guess to belittle them all, McCain's experience consists of a military career, 4 years in the House, and his Senate career.  No executive experience.  Biden has spent his whole career in the Senate.  And the current inhabitant of the Oval Office?  Failed businessman, 1 full term as governor of Texas and was reelected.  Then again, look at how that turned out.

  This is lame, Dave.

  The fact that Barack Obama, a painfully under-qualified candidate and unrepentant son of the corrupt Chicago political machine, is at the top of the Dem ticket tells me that the Democrat Party has placed political correctness and the expansion of leftist, big-government bureaucracy above the good of the country.

  Palin attacked corruption in her own party with a closed fist. Your Golden Boy embraced it with open arms.

  Obama talks "change", but he picked for his running mate one of the most entrenched Washington insiders this "lowest approval ratings ever" Congress has to offer.

  Whether you approve or not, Sarah Palin represents Middle America, and embodies what Abraham Lincoln had in mind when he spoke about a "government of the people".

  The undeniable truth is that if McCain had picked Romney or some other white guy, you and the rest of the talking heads in the liberal media would be screaming about what a racist, sexist pig he is for not picking a woman or a minority.

  As to your prediction that Obama will take 40 states?

  What are you smoking these days?

  Then again, you also told me back in '04 that "Bush is all done", and more recently, that I was going to be very upset with the SCOTUS ruling on Heller v. DC.

  You used to be smart.

  What happened?

  I would expect nothing less from Mr. Bernstein.  His meaningless tirades have become tiresome and laughable.  I guess I shouldn't expect anything worthwhile on a site that feature Michael Moore adds.

  Dave, stop being so angry and just face the fact that the majority of America doesn't believe in socialism.

  McCain and Palin > Hussein and Hairpiece.  Ha Ha.  I like that,  Hussein and Hairpiece.  Why did Biden take off his hairpiece?  Because it was driving him Hussein.  I know, it's not really a toupe.  It's plugs.  Hahaha LOLZ.

  No, he isn't. He is a typical liberal asshat.
