"Former Rhode Island Republican Sen. Lincoln Chafee has called vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin a "cocky wacko" and said her selection as John McCain's running mate has energized supporters of Democrat Barack Obama."

Thank goodness someone in the Republican Party had the guts to call it like it is. I predict this Palin myth will start wearing thin over the next few weeks. Want someone who is much more likely to start another needless war, this time with Russia no less? Vote McCain/Palin. At his age there's a good shot you'll get President Palin.

It's been said that Palin is a lot like Bush.

I'd say she's a little cocky, but not wacko.

That is a matter of opinion.

Except that she doesn't know what the Bush doctrine is.

No, not "years" ago - only about one year ago, after having been scorned repeatedly by his own party. He realized, much like Dwight Eisenhower's granddaughter Susan, that even though they'd both been lifelong Republicans, the party had become so synonymous with the neocons and the hardcore, conservative, religious right, that they no longer welcomed moderate Republicans like him. So both of them left the party, conspicuously, warning that if it chose to continue along the path of exclusion and cultural warfare, it faced permanent obsolescence. Which it does. Quick question: what percentage of delegates at the Republican convention were African American, compared to the total? And how does that stack up to the percentage of African Americans in the US population?

Now in darkness, world stops turning
Ashes where the bodies burning
No more war pigs have the power
Hand of God has sturck the hour
Day of judgement, God is calling
On their knees, the war pigs crawling Begging

I had to put my sunglasses on to watch the Republican National Convention - the stark lack of diversity
