Maybe this is a "I'd like this question to be answered" spot??

How can a lie, when it is proven to be a lie, continue to be allowed to be spread over phone lines, public vidio waves (TV), public audio waves (radio) and voiced in public to crowds of people - This happens on both sides but I'll use, "Obama is a muslem," and Obama 'pals around with' terrorists," as examples - John McCain and his staff KNOW both of those are flat out lies (I'm not certain Palin is aware of that yet), yet they persist in maliciously voicing both, (among several)- Isn't it illegal to slander someone - In fact wasn't an elected official (who wone) recently procecuted for knowingly spreading lies about their opponent - Ya – Ya – I know it sells papers & air time and provides jobs for a lot of political pundits/analysist - But isn't enough enough -
What kind of message is it sending to our young people and children –

Was SNL a good move for Gov. Palin? Absolutely not. You would think that her first stop for "damage contol" would be "Meet The Press", "The View" and CNN. But she goes to the one place that has perpetuated her idiocracy to show that she doesn't take herself too seriously??? She's got to be joking!

While " Joe the Plumber " is palling around with a Politician. How is the plumbing business going?

Obviously McCain must have plans on giving him the easiet plumbing job in America. Joe will be working on toilets that are never used in McCains seven homes because McCain is so full of
" IT " that his toilets are never used.

Be brave Anderson, I challenge you to disect the proposed policies of Obama and tell us if they are right for America. Let the lambs know where they are lead! Will it work?

I don't get it. What happened to ethics? Palin's up on additional ethics charges in Alaska, besides the troopergate issue. What about smarts? The troopergate findings report comes out, says she was unethical and abused the power of the office, and she comes out and says she's happy they cleared her of all charges, including unethical conduct. HUH???? If she can't answer a few simple questions from the media (in full sentences and without going off subject or just plain ignoring the question), how's she going to handle that 3:00 in the morning phone call? She makes dumb blondes look smart.
What about the "straight talk" express? Instead of "country first", the Sarah Palin pick was "campaign first." Mavericks? Then how come McCain and Palin let their campaign team lead them around by the nose? Why are they inciting hatred, not just dislike or disagreement with Sen. Obama? Why do they "mislead" (which is the same as lying)? i.e. Obama voting 94 times for tax incrase (really 56 votes, @ 50 for procedural, only 2 to slightly raise taxes on those making $1m or more...) How can McCain let his wife say Sen. Obama voted against additional funding for the troops in Iraq (without a timeline) when her husband, too, voted against it (with a timeline).

Am I missing something here? Why would anyone want to vote for these 2?
