I had to look her up. Glad I did, quite the tallking head!

Seriously though, I think I actually get more out of watching and reading egregiously biased reportage for one side or the other. Because of the political will to dig up dirt or hypocrisy to pin on their opponents, these outlets manage to find info that someone like myself wouldn't have the time or resources to uncover.

This is fine, but you have to actually disarm the spite in their "reporting dirt". Like McCain and his wife own 13 cars. Hell, the woman owns Big Beer! I have seen more dirt on both sides, but I look to policies and history of power. No one in human history who has risen to power is clean.

I kind of like O'Reilly. His interview with Barack was great.

I can't really get a read on him. He just seems to like for some drama to start so people tune in and his ratings go up.

Back to dumping dirt on Mccain/Palin, I thought the way she dealt with the Tina Fey thing was even funnier than the sketch itself. She said she thought it was funny, even though she watched it without the sound. :silly:

She thought it was funny because she said had been Tina Fey for Hallowe'en before.

From her appearance on shock jock shows in future races, some of which offended people, and from her attitude, I don't get that she is specifically worried about political correctness. As for me, I also had the sound down (working on music on my laptop), and it was still funny, particularly because the way she was teasing the cameras, and when she made the pose with the gun. Watch it without sound, and you will still get a laugh, just because it is so damn uncanny.

In other words: The sketch was actually quite critical of me, but I don't want to be seen geting catty with a popular entertainer, so I'll lie and say I couldn't hear what they were saying. :laff:

I'll also say I was disappointed with the Obama campaign trying to cut up McCain because he owns a dozen cars or so. Stick to the issues, Urkel.

Nice one Johnny Boy...Trying to pull a fast one...Little did he know he get set up, Obama knew what he would do...Damn man...Can't say SHIT slick to a can of oil...

HA!

Couric: You've said, quote, "John McCain will reform the way Wall Street does business." Other than supporting stricter regulations of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac two years ago, can you give us any more example of his leading the charge for more oversight?

Palin: I think that the example that you just cited, with his warnings two years ago about Fannie and Freddie - that, that's paramount. That's more than a heck of a lot of other senators and representatives did for us.

Couric: But he's been in Congress for 26 years. He's been chairman of the powerful Commerce Committee. And he has almost always sided with less regulation, not more.

Palin: He's also known as the maverick though, taking shots from his own party, and certainly taking shots from the other party. Trying to get people to understand what he's been talking about - the need to reform government.

Couric: But can you give me any other concrete examples? Because I know you've said Barack Obama is a lot of talk and no action. Can you give me any other examples in his 26 years of John McCain truly taking a stand on this?

Palin: I can give you examples of things that John McCain has done, that has shown his foresight, his pragmatism, and his leadership abilities. And that is what America needs today.

Couric: I'm just going to ask you one more time - not to belabor the point. Specific examples in his 26 years of pushing for more regulation.

Palin: I'll try to find you some and I'll bring them to you.

No joke..! http://snipurl.com/3tlus [www_cbsnews_com]

Hey, lets make healthcare as awesome as the banking system...

Sounds like Palin's lipstick was smudged by Katie bigtime. Or should that be Couric watched while Sarah smudged her own lipstick? I understand Barack's apprehensiveness to bail out Wall St as the only ones to benefit will be the rich & the Corporate Fat Cats McCain has been railing publicly against but seems more than willing to bail out while thousands of regular folk have watched what little stock they invested in go POOF in a blink of an eye. I also applaud Obama for not falling for John's ruse by cancelling the debate with his answer about Presidents often handling multiple crises at the same time. Dude's a slick thinker.

bullshit, John McCain has been asking for town hall debates the whole time, and Obama has refused. that is unprecedented, and frankly, unpresidential.

This could very well bite Obama in the ass, because it makes his popularity look more important than our security. and we got at least two more weeks of this to go... mcCain is going to washington to focus on making sure this bill includes provisions for the security of tax dollars used. It cannot afford to pass without it.

I see what Obama is saying about multiple crises, but campaigning and debates is not a crisis. The congressmen are first and foremost STILL CONGRESSMEN. Get thee to congress and start finding out what tax dollars are going to be used to lock this down, and finding out how much should be locked down and how much should be broken off to smaller fish in the pond to promote healty competition, and making sure it is seen as a loan, and not a gift is VITAL to both candidates financial planning. As it stands an extra 700 billion dollars will throw both proposed presidential plans off, unless Obama just expects to tax it out of the "rich" along with everything else.

Sustained! Totally Subjective.

And pray tell, why shouldn't the rich be taxed the most? They can afford it. I'm sick of seeing the little guy in the street fucked over.

I agree there needs to be a re-distribution of wealth but I provided a specific economic model of how this could be done through incentives and allowances instead of taxation.... and the oversight cost was less than the price for the enforcement, accounting, and oversight of the taxation, which mandates disaggregated auditing.
