Q & A

Was Governor Sarah Palin properly vetted before being named John McCain’s V.P.?


John McCain might be handing the election to Obama and Biden--or Karl Rove--- once again sitting on his “Trojan Horse”---has “done the math”, and believes that the Palin choice is going to win the White House for McCain.
Sarah Palin as McCain’s choice for his Vice President is a gaffe, a huge error, or a brilliant decision.
Joe Liebermann was obviously not standing at McCain’s side to correct this mistake---if it was a mistake.
Palin’s pregnant 17 year-old daughter is not as important as Mrs. Palin’s record or her I.Q.
Being a woman is not enough.
Being good-looking is not enough.
Being black is not enough.
Being experienced is not enough
But being intelligent, inspirational, and rational are quite important in the current dangerous---cold and hot---warring world.

Does President Bush’s speaking to the Republican Convention help or hurt John McCain?

If Bush fell off of the Empire State Building, would it hurt?
Bush will hurt John McCain just as he has hurt Iraq, the U.S. economy, the U.S. Constitution, our Privacy…and there isn’t time or space here to list all of the damage that has been done by King George.
Liars and murderers have never been respected, have they?
It would have helped McCain if Bush had been out of town with Cheney at some undisclosed location.


How important will the Iraq war be to voters come November?

It will be important to re-remind voters that the war was unnecessary, wrong, built upon lies---that this misbegotten war will continue to plague our children and grandchildren with its consumption of tax dollars in the trillions of dollars---that this war’s horrific, physical, and psychological injuries will exist long after the U.S. finally leaves---
that this war has produced NOT JUST HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DEAD IRAQIS---
But a million+.
Since the Congress---Democrats and Republicans!---haven’t impeached Bush and Cheney (yet), the voters must be reminded over and over and over what crimes and misdemeanors this duplicitous and secretive administration has committed, even if conditions in Iraq have improved---and even when NOTHING is done by way of public investigation of the Bush administration.
It is disgusting for me to read the statement that “The situation has come a long way from the darkest days when millions of Iraqis became refugees, hundreds of thousands were killed…”
This sounds like the Republican line, and the sad part is that voters believe it.
Tell Iraqis that they have come a long way.
Well, I guess millions will have come a long way when they return to their damaged and invaded homeland.
