Yes, those liberal elites love college professors! They can’t be from real America! Palin claims the professor is a former spokesman for the PLO, not realizing the irony of running for vice president with a man that advocated for policies which have significantly strengthened Iraq’s ties with Iran, while also admitting that Iran is certainly a more dangerous threat to America than the Palestinians. Thinking logically about issues has never been a character trait of this ticket.

Of course, most Americans are preoccupied with the fact that the stock market dropped again today, housing prices continue to slump, consumer confidence is at record lows and we want a government that will do something about this, not be obsessed with who Barack Obama met a couple times years ago. Besides, this “news” is five years old. If Obama’s character is such an issue, why did they wait so long to bring this up?

John McCain and Sarah Palin could care less about what Americans need. Instead, they care about irrelevent things that Barack Obama did years ago and dividing Americans into us and them. It’s really a sad display of desperation and a book that keeps writing itself – “How Not To Run A Presidential Campaign.”

Did you hear the one about Obama being a Muslim? But, I thought he attended a church for years that employed an anti-American reverend. Since when do Muslims have reverends? The Republican ticket can’t even keep their nonsense straight anymore.
