    JUST when I think that I can't possibly despise her more - WHAM! A female Cheney-Rove Gawd forbid.

      Isn't that what the Republican base is all about?

        The LA Progressive exists to provide a venue for expression to the region’s dispossessed and powerless and those who champion their causes.

          Lucille, like in the movie.

          How about a town where this happened?

          Another Democrat operative smear, you must be worried to have made-up stories like this one.

            Yup... Cheney, Rove in a female body. Americans will soon reject her and McCain.

            I think John McCain will rue the day he picked Lizzie Borden as his running mate!

            FTA:
            “So Sambo beat the bitch!”
            This is how Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin described Barack Obama’s win over Hillary Clinton to political colleagues in a restaurant a few days after Obama locked up the Democratic Party presidential nomination.))

            Very becoming racist slurs and description of women. And apparently she didn't care who heard her either, per the article.

            I think it's funny reading comments from uneducated dems! All you hear is neocon this and that. They all read from the same play book. The Dem party has no platform or substance! All they have is a slogan. "Change". Obama isn't about change. If he was he wouldn't have picked a fossil like Biden. Higher taxes, bigger government and a weak country. There's your change. Question: When Obama taxes the big evil oil companies for making too much money, Who do you think is going to pay that tax?
            Answer: All of us.

                “All they have is a slogan. "Change".”

                Yup, that was their slogan, that is until the coprolite candidate McCain and his running mate Palin, the Walmart Joan of Arch, decided they liked the sound of it.

                McCain hasn’t had an original thought in decades. Prior to hearing Obama talk about the need for change, the only change he ever thought about was getting out of his soiled Depends.

                    maybe so you dip.

                    but that cash would go into the general operations budget of the government......NOT THE BIG OIL POCKETS to help bribe politicians......

                    Perhaps you should not advertise your apparent inability to read about Mr. Obama's extensive and detailed platform of change. It kind of makes you look like an idiot.

                      Your comment is funny and uneducated. What do you think the republicans have done the past 8 years? They have been for "Change" and they have made drastic changes. What have they changed? The economy has been the worst since the depression, unemployment is at an all-time high with 84,000 jobs lost this past month; The oil company profits have gone from a mere 5 billion in 2001 to an all-time high of 40 to 50 billion in 2007; and as for Biden being a fossil, what do you think Saddle Bags McCain is - old as dirt, which outdates fossils. Whether McCain or Obama get into the whitehouse, there will be taxes, face that reality and q

                        Speaking of fossils, McCain is the "coprolite" candidate.

                        Looking to up your IQ? I suggest you scoop out your brain and insert a coprolite.

                          What do conservatives have? Other than war, no taxes, religion and guns you guys have nothing to. As far as big Oil, you're a dumb ass to support an industry that constantly rapes you. Have you ever wondered why there hasn't been any new refineries built in the last 30 YEARS?! We can drill holes all through America and it wouldn't help us a damn bit. Now, as far as taxes goes, he's only going to raise taxes on the richest 1%. Warren Buffet, the richest MoFo in the planet, has said that his Admin pays more taxes than he does and the cheap bastard only pays her 50 gr a year. So now what?

                          I can't believe how natural it comes to you to be mean & looking down on everyone in order to feel special! Every opinion deserve and given equal respect & OPORTUNITY here. Let me give you my educated opinion; With Biden & Obama's so called "Doughnut hole" tax break all those moms & pops, family legacy, individual, middle or small size businesses, people who like to start their own business and become their own boss will finally have a realistic chance to make it. We will be taxed (relatively) very little to nothing granting our businesses some competitive advantage. Biden & Obama will subsidise Americans instead of those cartels you mentioned who control Rep. party.

                            OK if change is a bad thing how come your boy stole it for his theme?
                            If democrats are fiscally irresponsible how is it the economy grows under their adminstrations far more than republican ones? Why is it Reagan spent more than the combined presidents before him? Who pays for his deficits if not taxpayers? Who pays the incalculable cost of Bush's budget? Not taxpayers? Hmmm. These republicans charged up an unprecedented fortune on the nation's credit card- but somehow it's democratic administration's fault? Actually the only balanced budget ever submitted in 60 years was a Democrat's. The only SUPLUS ever was from a Democrat. The tax and spend phrase sounds good, but it's BS.
                            The Republicans are not fiscally responsible, their record speaks for itself.
                            They run up the bills and leave someone else to figure out how to pay for it.
                            They don't mind hundreds of trillions of Dollars going to death and destruction in
                            a country they invaded by mistake (God told 'em to do it- dog named Sam told 'em to do it) but spend a dime on a starving kid or investing in our own future and they scream bloody murder! Exxon alone made more money in the last quarter than many nation's gnps in a year. They don't need welfare from the government!
                            Or from me. Henry Ford understood that if he didn't pay his workers a decent wage they couldn't afford to buy his model T's. His contemporaries thought he was nuts.
                            Why pay these peons a decent wage, we can get away with far less...but Ford was right- he did far better for himself while also doing well by other people. You know that is the missing part of the "new globalist slavery" -no partnerships no deal with labor to be fair. What happens when the entire US middle class can't afford your inflatable coolers and cheap beads? Sell them to China? Nicaragua?
                            I doubt they will be interested.
                            Your economic views may have applied 70 years ago but FDR isn't president and hasn't been for some time. But we sure could use his sense of responsibility right now.

Don`t think I would want to be married to a racist pitbull with lipstick.If she gets to be VP god help us. All she knows how to do is attack people, kind of goes with her pitbull with lipstick statement

                                Do you remember that long-haired community organizer Jesus of Nazareth . Do you also remember the regional governor who prosecuted him, Pontius Palin.

                                  Get that through your head.

                                  You really think your going to persuade people to vote for him talking about him and Jesus in the same sentence?

                                    Palin will fit right in with the rest of the neocons. She is allowing a massacre of wolves and their pups, and she thinks God wanted us to go to Iraq. She and McCain want to overthrow Roe vs. Wade, so women will have to resort to back alley abortions again. No matter what anyone thinks, and I don't support abortion as a method of birth control , women will get pregnant, and not want the baby. Those two will move this country backwards, not forward, and individual freedom will start to disappear.

                                      Ada, I don't think Palin is being attacked by anyone, she joined the big boys group and it kinda comes with the territory. Sometimes the truth can seem like an attack when it exposes you.

                                      We have two more months to put this contemptible person under the microscope. Hopefully a few Alaskans will actually have the guts to give their names and publicly denounce her. I believe every word in the article but until we see better documentation it has little value.
