Never - ever - have I heard more a vacuous, vapid response to a question from a major candidate for public office:

Please, people.  Please.  You cannot put this bimbo in the White House.

That is a 100% on-point answer: Biden and Palin were asked if they could name a Supreme Court DECISION with which they disagreed. DECISION doesn't necessarily mean one in which they ALLOWED something, it includes decisions in which they rejected something.

If Brown v. Board of Education had been decided the OTHER way - if it had upheld the segregationist notion of "separate but equal" - it would still have have been a DECISION, and would still have been just as significant.

What is (and who decides) a "legitimate discussion"?


Well, in this particular case, I have decided what's a legitimate discussion.

I know which one I'd have used, if I'd been asked: a much less well-known one which I think should be taught EVERYWHERE, because it affects literally every (non-personal) facet of our lives here in America today -- and most people don't even know it exists, Santa Clara County vs. Southern Pacific Railroad. You can thank that one, in the main, for the structure of corporations as "immortal persons" that we have today in the US, even though it was not explicitly argued or debated, but rather (incredibly) simply stated as fact.

This is what I keep thinking when I see her answers: she sounds like an eighth-grader flubbing her way through an oral book report on a book she barely skimmed but didn't read, expecting she could write a paper instead using some Cliff's Notes or something.

Not somebody I want as President.

All the people whining about this sort of "attack" on Palin need to understand that nobody has used that sort of "attack" on John McCain....for a reason: it wouldn't apply! McCain may be lots of things, but he can speak intelligently and reasonably knowledgeably on a variety of subjects relating to government, including stuff like this, without needing "prep" or cue-cards or "one of his three lifelines." The reason this is being said about Palin isn't because people want to "attack" her, it's because that's what's OBVIOUS, when watching her try to answer some of even the most softball questions, in a way that none of the other candidates display.

What? You mean you don't want to entertain the possibility - and argue ad nauseam on it - that magic may in fact, exist, or how many angels can dance on the head of a pin?

Such an incurious mind. Such a shallow soul.

Tsk, tsk.....for shame.

(Reuters) - Republican presidential candidate John McCain is in good health and has had no recent recurrence of skin cancer, according to medical records released on Friday. Following are highlights of the records:


* McCain has had four malignant melanomas -- a potentially lethal type of skin cancer -- surgically removed since 1993. Three of them were limited to the top layers of the skin and were not invasive. The fourth melanoma was invasive and was removed from his left temple in 2000.


* In the surgery to remove the invasive melanoma, doctors also took out lymph nodes to see if the cancer had spread. The lymph nodes showed no evidence of cancer.


* Doctors have removed other less serious skin cancers, including basal cell and squamous cell cancers, from McCain's skin without complication.


* As a skin cancer survivor, McCain remains at risk for recurrence or new cancers. He gets a skin exam every three to four months.


* McCain has no evidence of heart or other cardiovascular disease. He takes cholesterol-lowering medicine and has a healthy cholesterol level of 192. His doctor said McCain's levels had risen slightly after he switched medication.


* His resting pulse rate is 88 beats per minute. At 122/78 McCain has borderline-high blood pressure but not at a level that requires where medication. He weighs 163 pounds -- down 6 pounds from a year ago.


* McCain has small kidney stones and a number of benign cysts in both kidneys. Doctors used a laser to break up four bladder stones in 2001. He also had some benign enlarged prostate tissue removed in 2001.


* McCain smoked two packs of cigarettes a day for 25 years until he stopped in 1980.


OH and Obama's dr just wrote a letter...we need to see his record not a letter. LOL Here it is.

Why don't you see that as Obama's health record?
