Thats all they can come up with? Lazy ass reporters. Nothing about her record? Her views? Her family? I just read her son enlisted in the U.S. Army on 9-11-2007. But CNN comes up with she knows how to eat a mooseburger, shoot a gun, and drive a snowmobile. (If thats what they reported, I didnt see it) They are reporting the first piece of dirt, to quote "Palin's term has not been without controversy. A legislative investigation is looking into allegations that Palin fired Alaska's public safety commissioner because he refused to fire the governor's former brother-in-law, a state trooper."

It's already illegal for criminals to have them, O-stammer. Expect me to turn belligerent if ordered to turn mine in. It may be illegal but criminals still get them and there is a heavy flow of weapons getting from the US into Mexico. I support the 2nd and the right for an individual to have guns but I do not think the 2nd means that we should not have laws and measures that really prevent guns getting into criminal hands. Today it is more difficult to get on an airplane than it is to get a gun. If we had an administration that made a real effort to cut down on illegal gun trafficking it would have an effect. The bullshit I don't buy is that any gun control is against the 2nd.

I can see you are considering the really important issues when deciding how to cast your vote. I salute your intelligence and decision making abilities.

Just another dumb poll by a rePUBICan. Just another attempt to discredit Obama with the race card. So sad that you cant come up with a reason to vote against him other than hate and racism.

I never presumed to tell anyone how they are faring. I did point out that despite the problematic components, consumer spending is up and the overall economy grew (a hair). Crying recession long enough is only going to create a self-fulfilling prophecy. It's bound to happen because our economy does seem to cycle -- about every 6-8 years it seems. If I start spouting that a plane is going to crash...sooner or later it's going to happen. I place the current energy burden on the energy laws passed in 2005, 2007 and the weak dollar. Ethanol is a great idea, but not at the expense of the food supply. Bush didn't veto a bill from congress for the 1st 5.5 years, so the R Party ran teh nation. Let's look at the numbers: Currency in teh toilet, world hates us, debt thru the roof.... do I really need to go on? Come on out of denial. FOR this post and THIS post only, I agree with you 100%!!!!!!! If you agree then why are you going to vote for a president that will perpetuate it?

Only since Iowa? We've been suffering the same Bush shit for 8 years. Why are all of your defenses just pointing fingers? Bush's term is over. What is Obama going to do for us besides say the same thing over and over and over? He wants to: cut taxes for 95% of the middle class provide health care for every american provide college funding for anyone who wants to go fix social security beef up the military stop iran's nuclear program curb russia's aggression end our dependance on foreign oil within 10 years hire an army of teachers and raise all of their wages disallow companies to send jobs over seas balance the budget reverse global warming Not once did he say how he was going to do any of that. Cut taxes and provide quality healthcare? Increase teachers salaries and provide government funded student aid? Curb Russia's aggression? It's the same rainbow and blue sky, head up your ass wishful thinking he's had all along. You hated Bush. I get it. Come up with a real plan and I'll listen. You didn't listen to the speech did you, he explained how he was going to pay for it. I'll leave it as an exercise for you to find out what he really said. It is so lame that you take a sound bite without checking out the authenticity but so typical of the rePUBICans in this election. Attacking with lies and misquotes its the rePUBICican way, it is an attempt to scare people into voting rePUBICan. Just look at the posts on this forum to see the desperation and deception the rePUBICans sink to to try and win.

More vitriol. Do you buy it in bulk? Absolutely we should have a knee jerk reaction and kill everyone convicted of a crime just in case they might do something bad. Forget reasoned debate and looking at the whole issue, this one incident means we should react and kill kill kill.

Honest poll, I don't think so, it was an attempt to discredit the dems in the middle of an election, do you think people are that stupid that they couldn't see through it?

You are scared shitless that Obama might win so you are throwing as much crap at them as you can with little or no regard for the truth, this post is just another example. Boring is what I think of your post, you are like a broken record.

The fact that he hasn't got a damned thing backing up his idiotic "Change!" zombie-mantra is not a "false smear." And I'm not a "GOP supporter," just someone who hates what the Democrats are trying to do to our once-great nation. How about the dozen or so that are very clearly false? False to the extent that it surprises me that anyone with an IQ above 80 would ever have believed them. Name say, 6 of them please. Here are a few http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/ You'll find some way to squirm out of it I'm sure.

I'm not so sure of that. But whoever wins, it will certainly be a huge improvement over the POTUS we have right now. Lemme help you out there Professor. Here's my rewrite. Whoever is the next POTUS will certainly be an improvement over the POS we have now. I expect he meant, POTUS, Piece Of Totally Useless Shit.

Only 168 days to go !!!! It's almost over. We will have a POTUS with a normally functioning brain again.

You may be right I don't know enough to argue that case with any merit other than googling alternative opinions. California has a track record of banning bad stuff while others still are in denial, smoking and smog are two good examples, at worse the trans fat will do nothing to our health, at best it will improve it. Given that I think is is prudent to be cautious and ban it until the facts are known. If California shows a reduction in heart problems great than other states in 10 years then it will be proved just like is happening with lung cancer and smoking now, otherwise not.

What is wrong with an employer being able to choose who he hires based on smoking or other factors, there are very few protected groups, do you really want to see smokers given the same protection as say veterans or disabled people.

Baaaaa, baaaaa...... How's the grass? Trans fat free

There is nothing in the law stopping you making your own, why don't you learn to produce trans fat yourself, then you can add it to your own food.

I was being sarcastic. To your question, I don't have to stay at home, the CA government has just banned trans fat:) I like to eat out, I can afford it and it saves me cooking and cleaning, I like that the government helps make it safe. I don't understand what is wrong with that, I can probably mail order trans fatty lard if I really miss it.

Any why should local taxes go to subsidize the health care of you if you femur in? Or the 3 months of disability afterwards? It's not just the health care premiums that have companies/counties targeting smokers. It's the extra sick days and lower vitality as well. Of course, this would be true for alcoholics as well. May not be true for those with high BMI - but usually these discussions are light on facts and thinking and more about punishing those that aren't us. They don't have to, some policies exclude extreme sports.

This isn't just at work. If you use tobacco anywhere, not just at work, no job. The "rationalization" is that it is to lower medical costs. (Or something). So, extending that rule to... being obese? Exercise? Obesity is the biggest health problem in the US. So, where do we go from here? Percentage of body fat limits? No more donuts for you. Alcohol is next. The costs are social and medical and a lot larger. No more drinking at home. Say goodbye to skydiving... you peeps is just crazy. Something will need to be done about reckless endangerment also. Why should local taxes go to subsidize the health care of smokers. Insurance cost more if you smoke. I'd be OK with a different health care package for smokers, maybe a bigger deductible or something.

if you want to pour shit into your body that is fine you can go an look for it, however CA did good with this one. There should be standards when it comes to food, many customers don't know or appreciate that the food they buy contains and a lot food does not carry a detailed list of ingredients. Many chemicals are banned from food because of the dangers they present to us humans, this is just another one, the only reason that it is even in the news is because it will cost money and when it comes to money it always wins over health risks in some people, especially with a republican government. You have been fooled into believing the spin about personal choice. Shouldn't a person be informed enough to know what is or is not healthy to eat and make good choices w/o the fuckin govt. deciding it for them? Oh. I forgot. The USA govt. K-12 education system just wants to make more sheep to help them take over the world rather than fucking educate them. So I should be intimately knowledgeable about the pros and cons of every food additive and product on the market, give me a fucking break, that is one of the dumbest reasons for not banning there is. I expect the government to protect us from greedy folks who would make a quick buck and sacrifice our health, the government is there to serve us, making sure we don't get served dangerous food is one of these ways. Regulation of the medical, food, chemical and many other industries prevent us from having to live in a sealed greenhouse in order to live in a relatively safe environment. Look at the pollution and public health problems in china if you want to see what happens when capitalism gets out of control without regulation. If you can't figure out what is healthy and what is not I feel sorry for you. And you have the internet at your fingertips. How old are you? You must be looking for a govt. job too. I really take the internet everywhere I go, I only go to restaurants that have wifi access, I make the chef show me the brand names of the ingredients that he used to make the food and research them before I order. Get real, acting as private investigator on the sources of all the food we eat is impossible if you want to eat out and hard to do if you by it from a store. And the food companies don't really want to put all the info on the packet, they don't even have to label whether food is genetically modified or not, they only do what they are legally required to do, they are not nice people they are companies trying to make money, remember the tobacco companies used to say smoking was safe. I don't want to eat trans fat I don't want my children to eat trans fat, I am glad I wont have to spend time making sure they don't, at least in california and new york city. Again look at china to see what happens when government does not regulate properly and lets greed take over. If you don't like it live in another state, there are plenty of them.

The queen of ]Scotland. That'd be this lady, wouldn't it? You know...the same one that rules the REST of the United Kingdom? Have a gold star for being so smart. That is why it is called the "United" kingdom. What was your point again, or do you have one?

The queen of Scotland.

Perhaps some contractors consider spelling and writing abilities when considering bids? I'm not trying to be critical; I'm simply pointing out that often times communication skills, including written communications, are important considerations. LMAO It is obvious the liberals' fault that some cannot spell, the dictionary is an evil liberal document, it must be it has the word liberal in it.
