Why do otherwise intelligent people believe outlandish bullshit when election season comes around???

I mean come on, if Obama wasn't born in Hawaii don't you think Fox News would have been all over that already? Don't you think Hillary would have jumped on that? Do you honestly believe he would have gotten this far? Smarter, sneakier people have already vetted all that shit and if there were anything there it would have already blown up all over the place.

Who gives a shit about how much the RNC spent to put clothes on Palin!!!! Do we talk about how much the suits the guys wear cost??? Think they wear the same suit everyday?

What I care about is that eight years ago we had a projected surplus and now we are borrowing money from CHINA!

We're supposed to be the greatest nation on Earth! What the hell are we doing watching our middle class become the poverty class while job after job is outsourced to another country and the corporation doing it gets a big fat tax cut in reward? And why does anyone believe it's a good idea???

I think it's crap so I will not vote Republican thank you very much. Oh, and yes, I have voted for Republicans before. I vote issues not party and I diligently research before I make up my mind. I do lean a bit left of center but I'm not a left wing liberal by no means. I actually wish there weren't such a thing as big political parties. I wish more people could think for themselves instead of needing a party to tell them what to think.

What’s amusing is that no one from Obama's campaign is haranguing about the clothing.

Its the newscasters who are taking it on. But several years ago, it was the Republicans did ride Edwards about a haircut.

And the opposition brought up the costs of Bill Clinton's suit over and over.

So if the press wants to make a lot over Palin's clothing .../shrug

But you are right, I wish they would focus on the obvious blind bull shit from McCain.

It is good Obama's campaign hasn't said anything about Palin's clothes, since Obama has used some $800,000 in campaign funds for personal flights to visit hawaii. Saving the environment one jet trip at a time apparently.

I was under the impression that it was also the media that talked of Edward's and Clinon's spending, but I guess "the republicans" is a pretty broad term.

Just because you don't like something doesn't make it wrong.

This is yet another thing that pisses me off. Why should this even be an issue? How is he supposed to fly a commercial airline? Do you really think the secret service would even allow that? It's not even like he was running off to go play on the beach either, HIS GRANDMOTHER IS DYING for crying out loud.

What's interesting is that she doesn't want to believe FactCheck (which is actually very balanced) and yet leaves a reference for this site, which is very slanted.
