“I do think, though, that the political climate is different this year than it was in ‘00 or ‘04, and that bodes well for us.”
No you all are still running against Bush, guess what ? This time you’ll win.
And Kay….Americans really are stupid.

Kay, I hope you’re right about Americans not being stupid. I said the same thing in 2000 and again in 2004. Look what happened then. Eight years of Bush.

Americans are fighting back against Ms. Sarah now. Here’s a whole stadium full of Americans booing Palin so loudly the officials had to turn up the music to TRY to drown the boos out:

Americans are not stupid. They know a lipstick wearing Pig when they see one.

I don’t think that the argument about saying the left has been doing this the last 8 years is valid.

First, both parties have extremists. The left has their extremists and the right has their extremists.

Second, arguments and statements made by extremists are usually not covered by the MSM news because they aren’t made in front of presidential candidates. Additionally, presidential candidates (and veeps) usually don’t support these positions.

When an extremist says something in front of a presidential candidate (or any politician), they have a moral responsibility to correct that person. Without their rebuttal, the extremist argument goes forward with the politician’s passive support – since the politician didn’t voice their opposition to the extremist argument.

This is why MSM are carrying these extremist remarks now and not before. If someone called McCain something when Obama had a microphone in his hand, it would be his responsibility to correct that person – the same thing that McCain is now starting to do.

The movie and books are regrettable but a result of a free society. Neither of the two products are endorsed by the either party, officials, or candidates.

“We will pursue nations that provide aid or safe haven to terrorism. Every nation, in every region, now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists. From this day forward, any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime.”

-George W. Bush, September 20, 2001 address to the United States Congress.

I think that all political observers that accused Sarah Palin of not knowing about the Bush Doctrine need to reassess their beliefs. She may not have been able to communicate the principles intelligibly, but she has shown beyond a shadow of a doubt, that she has internalized an understanding of the tactics that the approach involves. The McCain/Palin ticket are simply applying the Bush Doctrine to its political opponent. The accusations that Palin and McCain are making by insinuation have very real consequences, and they need to be held accountable for them.
