people make the assumption that everyone knows what the bush doctrine is because they have defined it for themselves already. thats the problem, they have settled on their self definition and assumed that is the only interpretation either because they are arrogant or stupid. i guess it happens when you spend your time in a media/social bubble where everyone agrees with you, so you can just assume such things.

as for them on palin, they basically assume the worst to make their points which is just a cheap tactic. asking for a question to be narrowed is perfectly acceptable. and its only partisan nonsense that makes it into any issue at all.

and well, mahers show has become a bit of a sham, 3 on 1 is the best they can do. last week it was worse, it was 4 people all agreeing. if you think such shows are good political discussions you have no right complaining about right wing talk radio.

i'm not sure its good to concentrate on such trivial things. it shows how weak your opposition is that you have to sink to such a low level of discussion.

well, its funny the left is playing the games they used to accuse the far right of playing.

We’ve been flooded for the past few days with queries about dubious Internet postings and mass e-mail messages making claims about McCain’s running mate, Gov. Palin. We find that many are completely false, or misleading.

* Palin did not cut funding for special needs education in Alaska by 62 percent. She didn’t cut it at all. In fact, she increased funding and signed a bill that will triple per-pupil funding over three years for special needs students with high-cost requirements.

* She did not demand that books be banned from the Wasilla library. Some of the books on a widely circulated list were not even in print at the time. The librarian has said Palin asked a "What if?" question, but the librarian continued in her job through most of Palin's first term.

* She was never a member of the Alaskan Independence Party, a group that wants Alaskans to vote on whether they wish to secede from the United States. She’s been registered as a Republican since May 1982.

* Palin never endorsed or supported Pat Buchanan for president. She once wore a Buchanan button as a "courtesy" when he visited Wasilla, but shortly afterward she was appointed to co-chair of the campaign of Steve Forbes in the state.

* Palin has not pushed for teaching creationism in Alaska's schools. She has said that students should be allowed to "debate both sides" of the evolution question, but she also said creationism "doesn't have to be part of the curriculum."

what a jerkoff. he doesn't even realize how hypocritical he looks when his points on her so called inexperience apply far more to his own candidate. not to mention we know even less about obama, all we know is what his image marketing folks have put out and a few vague speeches. the fact is she has executive experience of a decade. like it or not the experience of being a head of a organization like mayor or governor is FAR different from being a legislator. an executive leader has final responsibility, and is alone in leadership. the positions obama had had diffused responsibility, its why "congress" or the "senate" get blamed as a unit, not as individuals. there is always someone else to blame as a legislator. let alone as a junior one who gets almost nothing done. you are one of many, the buck doesn't stop at obamas desk.

his characterization of her was dishonest. and if the same had been done to obama he would have gotten his panties in a twist. and the major problem is you have these sudden high standards for the oppositions vice president while you put your head in the sand with your own candidate for the PRESIDENCY! if obama were vice presidential candidate this argument might almost have a point. but he's going for the top job, so if you argue in this manner and support obama, i just really don't know whats wrong with you.

obamas issues run deep. his "spiritual guide" of minister wright was a bigot lover. giving unrestrained praise to the likes of antisemitic racists like lewis farrakhan. and yes this matters, he stood by this man for a decade in silence when he thought no one was watching. and that goes to character. if he stood for everything the left supposedly thinks he stands for he would have either left that church or stood up to that man. but he did neither, he instead stood by him and exposed his children to the man. and thats revealing. but the love of the left has blinded them to this mans many character flaws. he talks pretty yes. but words are cheap. and when you look at what he actually did when he thought no one was watching, its much less of a fairy tale.

anyways whats "crazy" mr damon is self important actors spewing about politics in the media. as if you being able to pretend on camera qualifies you to be a political expert. give me a break.

h'm sorry you can't fall back on justifying your flaws by pointing at others. it doesn't matter if someone else's fairy stories are flawed, it doesn't justify your own fairy stories flaws. it doesn't justify your belief in nonsense fairy stories in the first place.

and pointing out a few points of health in a body riddled with cancer is not really much of an arguement.

and all religions are sexist, fine, as i said, it doesn't matter. islam goes further, it controls all aspects of life as muslims admit themselves, its an oppressive ideology, and whos founder mixed military state and government power, a perfect example of corrupt power and a horrible example for followers of an ideology. frankly that alone makes islam more defective than the other religions.

sorry that is apologist nonsense. a religion based on god should have no flaws, and well, islam is about defective as it gets. you don't get to pick the few good bits to justify the rest which is horrifying.

islam is incompatible with the universal declaration of human rights.

it is a bigoted homophobic sexist intolerant religion that asks for tolerance from others. just look up apostasy if you want to see the "freedom" that is islam.
