about Palin rather disgusting.  A bunch of overweight old men talking about how hot she is, the feelings (implying those sexual type of feelings) they get when 'near' her in person - Pat Bucanan (spelling?) jokes to stay away from his girlfriend.  It was like watching men talk about Playboy centerfolds.

Where are all the women who normally attack that type of behavior?  This woman has a husband, children.  The fact I would never vote for her does not stop me from being completely nauseated at how they disrespected her. 

Should this type of talk be accepted regarding a presidential candidate at all, period? 

Is she beautiful, yes. Is she funny, yes.  Is she a hunter who kills animals, yes.  I appreciate all of those things, but someone who cannot get men to respect her...that would be worrisome in a serious job or say, running an entire country, we are told is in crisis.  Not so sure I understand what is so 'gosh-darn' funny about it.

Read this article closely:

Describing George W. Bush as the most stupid president in U.S. history, the Al Qaeda leader reached out to the Muslim world and said his group was winning faster than expected in Iraq.

The U.S. president's policy had enabled the militant group to achieve their goal of fighting more Americans, said the Al Qaeda leader.

We call the lame duck (Bush) not to hurry up in escaping the same way the defense minister did, he said, referring to the removal of Donald Rumsfeld as Defense Secretary following the Democrats' victory in Midterm elections.

They are getting ready to leave, because they are no longer capable of staying, the Al Qaeda leader said.

Remain steadfast in the battlefield you coward, he called on the U.S president.

If this does not chill your blood, with all due respect, there is something terribly wrong.  These people are focused on the destruction of the United States.  They get their information from the New York Times and CNN,  and they are heartened that the majority of this country who voted espouse the cut and run theory on Iraq.  They seek to divide us from within and for the country to turn on the President (and they have done that successfully it would seem).  They think (and it would appear that they are right in many cases) that the US as a whole has no stomach for the fight.  In their eyes, we are weak and not willing to fight for what we believe in like they are, and in their eyes that makes us cowards.  We are in a WAR, yes a WAR, like no other.  And if you do not think us pulling out of Iraq prematurely will not fire the jihad you are very sadly mistaken.  They will view it as a major victory and I shudder to think what will follow it.  The very reason we have not had more major attacks on our soil, in my opinion, is that these people, with all their bluster, are afraid of George Bush and what he might do.  They are afraid that if they pull something like that again Iraq might be a walk in the park and would mean even more American boots on the ground in places they don't want them.  They just can't be sure of what the US might do under his leadership, and that is why they are biding their time.  If we get a dovish adminstration, it could, and most likely would, get ugly real fast.  All it will take is the first (and probably homegrown) jihadist to blow himself up in a mall somewhere and take several innocent American lives with him....and then it will be too late.  It could happen, do not think for a moment it could not.  They want dead Americans.  They would prefer dead American citizens on our own ground.  They prefer the cowardly fight.  They do not prefer having to face our military.  But they will, because they are dedicated to their belief, no matter how perverse it is, while all the time trying to get back on the playing field they prefer...cowardly suicide attacks.  We will learn what Israel has had to live with for years, the hard way.  Do you see where I am going with this?  We NEED for them to remain afraid of what we might do if they start something like that.  We need for them to respect our willingness to stand toe-to-toe for what we believe in.  We need to demonstrate that we are willing to do so and not waver.  We need to demonstrate a belief in our country and our way of life as strong as theirs is.  We are already wavering as a country, and we need to suck it up and stand up straight again.  It is time to wake up.  We are not acting as the World police in Iraq.  We are in a fight for our survival, the survival of a free country where we are not afraid to go into a mall or get in a car or go anywhere we wish without fear of suicide bombers, car bombs, being grabbed off the street and found without a head a week later.  We do not need to join the  hunker down and be quiet and maybe they will leave us alone club.  That does not work.  They are not going to leave us alone.  No one is safe, for these people there is only one way....their way.  They are not going to stop and go quietly away.  That should be patently obvious.  This is the most important issue that faces us.  None of the rest of it will matter if we lose in Iraq.  Take a moment to look at history, all the precursors of 9-11.   Had we not gone into Iraq, and swept yet another incident under the rug (with Khobar Towers, the Cole, the Achille Lauro, Tanzania, Somalia, and on and on and on) there is no telling where we would be right now or what other awful things might have occurred.  For those of you who cannot grasp that, who think that if we pull out of Iraq and pander to these people that everything will be all right....God help you.  God help us all.

We are "voice experts" if you will with all of the work we do.  That is most definitely his voice.

Just because there is no video does not mean he didn't say it.

Please listen to it along with other interviews.  It is most certainly him.

I don't know why I find certain posters/postings so darn disturbing.  I know in my heart they do NOT represent most right-wingers.  I have two very close friends who are right-wingers and quite a few acquaintances.  These folks in no way resemble the posters I refer to.  I also know they are pretty much a lunatic fringe.  I know I should just ignore them....but I can't sometimes, especially when I see postings that are so grievously factually erroneous (i.e., this country takes care of its poor - which I might add in many ways this country TRIES to help its poor but there is still much to be done).  I just think I could address these factual errors without becoming personally embroiled. 

The up side is that I learn so much from the research I have ended up doing as well reading some of the eloquent and inspiring posts I have seen on this board.  That by itself is worth a lot.

Yesterday I felt my blood pressure rise and felt sick to my stomach for a while.  But at sunset I took my three ill-behaved dogs-of-uncertain-heritage for a walkl in a snowy woods out here in the boonies where I live and my appreciation for the world that l am able live in came back to me....and I mean my own personal space, my mental place as well as geographic world. 

Get a cup of coffee or juice and enjoy....

news shows local and national,then a few others after that, but they're all yaking about it. It just seems like the news doesn't have any news. Don't get me wrong. They do it with every little story. I counted 2 weeks at least on little Caylee, then nothing. I counted more than that on the 911 tragedy. After a few days of any news story, it gets really old.

How can the O be painting a room. Doesn't he have all kinds of celebrations/parties/speeches to make somewhere?  I thought the three days was going to be spent doing that before THE day.

Of course, I was awake for a couple hours, so I had my coffee and was wide awake when I heard that. LOL

I'm a little calmer now, except I'm now listening to C-Span and they are debating the SCHIP program, about increasing the program. I have to turn it off pretty soon. I can feel my BP going up again with some of the asinine remarks being made by certain members of the senate that don't want to wait to debate or discuss the amendments CAREFULLY. Some want full disclosure of the cost and amendments, others think it's not necessary. What jerks!

in our area there are people struggling but not to the extent that seem to be here on this board every day. Certainly don't live in a glass house; have struggled before in the past and have figured out a way not to. We are in a fortunate situation at the moment and have taken steps to ensure that we will be okay financially should the rug be pulled out from under us; so be it if that is considered snooty. Bash away as is your style; it humors me.

She formally announced she is supporting McCain and will campaign for him.
