Re: Palin flunks mock debates
Of course there's no excuse for Obama. As I said, he was playing politics and it bit him in the ass 20 years later. But then again, perhaps he never would have gotten much of a start in his political career without that church's help. No excuse to be part of that, none whatsoever.

Speaking of this, McCain is just as bad. He once denounced Falwell's ilk as "agents of intolerance," then turned around after he lost to Bush and begged for their support. And he got it. Falwell endorsed him in 2006 and Hagee endorsed him in 2008. For such a maverick, he sure as shit sold out this year to the worst elements of his party.

"I'm still in shock the Republicans forced her upon McCain instead of his original choice, Sen. Joe Leiberman."
I do not see how anyone could support this kind of behavior. Joe Leibermann has slapped the faces of everyone that has ever voted for him and will not return to office. You cannot promote that behavior...whether you're on the side he's crossed to or not. He's proven he'll turn on anyone if it's convinient.
Showing up at the RNC was a bitch slap right to everyone that ever voted for him and his entire party. The Republicans used him like a tool or a puppet and now will cast him out into nothingness once the elections is over.

So much for bi-partisan efforts eh? When a Republican crosses the line, it's proof that Obama appeals to all people and serves as evidence that the Republican party is broken. But when a Democrat crosses the line, he must be a turncoat mother fucker who must be out for some devious reason.
Re: Palin flunks mock debates
There are right ways and wrong ways to cross party line...and the way your phrased your post is absolute spin doctoring BS!
I said nothing about Obama or appealing to anyone...or anything bad about Republicans...
What I did say is that when a Democrat forgoes his own convention to go hang out with the opponent...there is something wrong with that...spin it any way you want...

So then you were opposed to the Republican who appeared at the Democrat convention?

Spot on post, and totally true.
They disowned Zel Miller & Liberman when they become pro-Iraq and pro-Bush.

Not entirely true. Lieberman LOST the 2006 Democratic primary for Connecticut to a relative newcomer. He raised a stink, filed an appeal etc etc. Basically was a weasel & sore loser. People in the Democratic party stood firm & felt he should acknowledge he lost. He eventually ran as an independent and gained enough Democratic & Republican votes in a 3 way race to win in the November Primary. Being bitter, and feeling the party alienated him & did not show support, he slowly drifted over more & more to the Republican side. Bi-Partisan?? or sore loser.
Anyway, RF as for a "Republican being bi-partisan" by showing at the Democratic convention... I didn't even know there was one, so much for that arguement. I guess Republicans made a bigger stink about it than Democrats.

Kinda like the Republicans have disowned Hagel for speaking out against the clusterfuck that defines his party's stubbornness: the Iraq War. It goes both ways. Any time someone crosses the aisle to work with the other side they are accused of being traitors. It's part of the problem in this country right now. The fact that McCain has spent years getting ridiculed by the right so much that he's had to pander out the ass to them during this campaign is another example of how everything seems to fall along party lines, not necessarily along the lines of common sense. It sucks and it needs to change, but of course we know it never will.
