This is a comment I posted on a blog called "Newsvine"
OBAMA-FAN-This is my display name on this the Newsvine Blog.....:)
Wenks, you are comparing Apples and Oranges. Barack changing his mind about joining McCain in a town hall setting is far different that Palin saying how she changed her mind about that Bridge to nowhere. If I were Barack I would have never agreed in the first place. The McCain ship is sinking on its own, or should I say the McCain plane is falling from the sky yet again. Why would I bother? Palin is a novelty! She's a toy that the children in the press are tired of playing with! McCain received a bump in the polls when he picked 'Caribou Barbie,” because on the heels of the Hilary/Obama primaries women were hyped. He cashed in on it but didn't think of the long term effects.
Palin knows nothing about foreign policy, international affairs, the economy, or the war! Now you have to try and keep her out of the press for how ever long it takes her handlers to get her to the point where she can deliver a intelligent thought on any of those subjects, and God only knows how long that will be after the "What do you mean Charlie" interview! This woman finally met with a foreign leader and didn't address the press at all? She's trying to stall the "Troopergate" investigation until after the election (What is she hiding?), but in the meantime all her other lies, and inadequacies are coming out. McCain is not being a chauvinist; he is scared to death of what might come out of this woman’s mouth, as he should be. This is a woman who said she doesn't even know what the VP does!!!

As if you needed another reason...........
With America facing historic debt, multiple war fronts, stumbling health care, a weakened dollar, all-time high prison population, skyrocketing Federal spending, mortgage crises, bank foreclosures, etc. etc., this is an unusually critical election year.
Let's look at the educational background of your two options:
Obama:
- Occidental College - Two years.
- Columbia University - B.A. political science with a specialization in international relations. -Harvard - Juris Doctor (J.D.) Magna Cum Laude
Biden:
- University of Delaware - B.A. in history and B.A. in political science.
- Syracuse University College of Law - Juris Doctor (J.D.)
vs.
McCain:
-United States Naval Academy - Class rank 894 of 899
Palin:
-Hawaii Pacific University - 1 semester
-North Idaho College - 2 semesters - general study
- University of Idaho - 2 semesters - journalism
-Matanuska- Susitna College - 1 semester
- University of Idaho - 3 semesters - B.A. in journalism
Now, which team are you going to hire
VERY IMPORTANT!!!! PLEASE PLEASE FORWARD TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!!!!
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE ADVISE EVERYONE YOU KNOW THAT THEY ABSOLUTELY CANNOT GO TO THE POLLS WEARING ANY OBAMA SHIRTS, PINS OR HATS, IT IS AGAINSTTHE LAW AND WILL BE GROUNDS TO HAVE THE POLLING OFFICIALS TO TURN YOU AWAY.THAT IS CONSIDERED CAMPAIGNING AND NO ONE CAN CAMPAIGN WITHIN X AMOUNT OFFEET TO THE POLLS. THEY ARE BANKING ON US BEING EXCITED AND NOT BEING AWAREOF THIS LONG STANDING LAW THAT YOU CAN BET WILL BE ENFORCED THIS YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. Remember, we're doing something that's never been done, so I have no idea how it will all go!

You can get to all of them at the link above.
P.P.S. If you're not yet registered to vote, here's a good link: https://www.voteforchange.com/. There's less than two weeks for you to get registered, especially if you have moved since the last time you voted.

Global Financial Crisis
Confessions of a Right-Wing Liberal
by Murray N. Rothbard -- CLICK HERE
This classic piece appeared in Ramparts, VI, 4, June 15, 1968. It was the fulfillment of an ideological trend that began a few years earlier when consistent libertarians, led by Rothbard, sensed an estrangement from the American right-wing due to its support of militarism, police power, and the corporate state. Here Rothbard presents a rationale for why he and others had, by 1968, largely given up on the Right as a viable reform movement toward liberty, realized that the Right was squarely on the side of power, and thereby developed an alternative intellectual historiography. The relevance of this essay in our own time hardly needs to be explained, given the record on liberty of the Republican president, congress, and judiciary, to say nothing of conservative and right-wing media.
"Even if it were desirable, America is not strong enough to police the world by military force. If that attempt is made, the blessings of liberty will be replaced by coercion and tyranny at home. Our Christian ideals cannot be exported to other lands by dollars and guns. Persuasion and example are the methods taught by the Carpenter of Nazareth, and if we believe in Christianity we should try to advance our ideals by his methods. We cannot practice might and force abroad and retain freedon at home. We cannot talk world cooperation and practice power politics." - Howard Buffett, 1952
