Palin's attacks on Obama (responses), and more.

These are "old", like from the end of August after Palin's acceptance speech. The first one is good, because it refutes what she had to say. One thing I do want to theorize (again) is that if she sounded like a Washington insider with her speech, it's because it was written by a Washington insider. But I suspect she repeats the parts on the road that got positive responses from the Republicans at the convention.





This isn't about Palin's attacks on Obama, but about Exxon and the "Drill Baby Drill" chant. I got the same impression when I heard it. But I just figured Palin is looking out for the Alaskans to profit, and not necessarily a Big Oil connection. But I'd like more attention paid to this before we start drilling....




The beginning of that video alludes to an affair Palin allegedly had, according to the National Enquirer. That story hasn't been talked about in the mainstream media. But then, they also didn't cover the story about John Edwards either until he confessed. Here's a comment from the UK, Sarah Palin ‘affair’: big media stays quiet as ‘lover’ named. I don't particularly care, since it seems the norm for politicians. But I don't like cover-ups. Here's another: Media dilemma over Enquirer’s ‘Sarah Palin affair’ allegation. I'm just posting those because it was mentioned in the above video, but wasn't the main point of that video. Here's the article from the National Enquirer.

Here's a blog I found tonight. Judging by the name, it might be biased, but has some interesting info:

GOP concerns about Palin grow

"GOP concerns about Palin grow"



Some on the right are joining a chorus of criticism over Sarah Palin
John McCain's running mate and his sharp reactions to the nation's economic crisis have led several prominent conservative columnists to slam the senator as reckless and strident.

I might as well post this here. I just found it on a site that talked about Matthew Scully writing Palin's acceptance speech:

"To knock a thing down, especially if it is cocked at an arrogant angle, is a deep delight of the soul."

The video that should sink John McCain's presidential dreams



This video is similar to one I posted earlier. One thing I noticed that was different in this one was that he admitted that what he said about the Confederate flag being a state issue, was said out of ambition.

NBC John McCain: week in review:


Amusing, but sad. Dig the comment about how the fish like to hang around the oil rigs. Pretty compelling.
After the replaying of the gaffes, listen to what Ana Marie Cox has to say about the McCain campaign people not caring what people think.

NBC The right moves?:


This first part is similar to the video above, but the rest covers other topics. Of interest is a quote by some Republican whose name I can't remember. It's worthwhile to watch, if only to catch that quote. Well, here it is:

"McCain's recent conduct of his campaign... has reinforced my earlier, and growing, sense that John McCain is not a principled man. In fact, it's not clear who he is."

Also of interest is the topic of Social Security.

Between watching the videos of the Alaskan women's anti-Palin demonstration (posted below) and watching this, I have more hope in the women voters of this country.
