Now is not the time to abstain from voting!

Any person in the US that does not vote, does not have the right to bitch about what these politicians are doing while in office.

I cannot imagine not voting this year. If the repubs take office, my clinic is sure to close!

Giving Palin more headlines on progressive websites just fuels more interest in this lightweight twit. Stick with the critical issues of this campaign, where both McCain and Palin can be effectively challenged. Stop buying into the stupid distractions already.

trace= you have it wrong again!hillary isn’t “chompin at the bits for 2012″. several polls have obama getting 50% of the vote now(not mccain).while these don’t tell us who will win in nov. it does tell us the public knows that the rev. wright crap isn’t a big deal.the big deal is the economy(followed by iraq,health care,etc.). voters are moving to real issues & the latest polls show obama gaining 3% of women’s support just in the last week. palin isn’t going to help mccain much with female voters when they find out how extreme she really is. rev. wright won’t be a heartbeat away from the pres. palin’s cold heart will be. if the vote was held today obama/biden would get 301 electoral votes(31 more than what’s needed).check the various web sites for yourself. all the dems have to do is maintain this lead & mccain/palin is a footnote in history. if hillary is going to run in 2012 maybe she’ll try as an elephant!

trace=you’re an idiot no matter where you go & what you type in. don’t you follow politics at all? xzavier is correct! the republicans did use that argument when hillary was running,but what wasn’t touched on was that they attacked her during bill’s entire 8 year presidency & i don’t recall any republicans saying any of that stuff was sexist. i’m no hillary supporter but they did lay into her too much for my taste. if palin is getting hammered as a working woman who speaks her mind & doesn’t stay home & bake cookies with her kids. well guess which party back in ‘92 set that nasty bandwagon in motion…you know who!(& if you are dumb enough to say obama’s dems…well i’m not surprised).

xzavier, it was Obama that used the dirty tricks against the Clinton’s. Beat them at their own game. Remember Bill noting that the Obama campaign had used the race card. (And the funny thing was, they did.)

Make no mistake, Hillary is chompin at the bits for 2012.

Give me a break if anyone is smart enough to research the CHIKA they’ll know she’s got more investigations going on against her than a cookie has chocolate chips. I only hope Obama has the brass B* to not let this woman walk all over him like kerry did with bush in ‘04. Im from Arizona and Napalitano will whip the floor of this person. We need to send her back to what ever little down she came from in Alaska packing.
Once again the republicans are crying fowl and saying its sexist to attack a women. HEELLLOOOO what were they doing when Hillary was running?

Well, I don’t think that Hillary will say anything directly towards Palin. I can not imagine that McCain would run for a second term (if elected). That would mean that Palin would be the heir apparent to run for the Republican nomination in 2012. It’s certainly foreseeable that Hillary will run again in 2012. She needs to be able to put herself in a good place to be able to compete against Palin for 2012.

Abstaining this year should not, can not be an option. The Republicans are dangerous, if not perhaps, evil. Remember the words of Hitler’s director of communication (today’s Karl Rove): “If you tell a big lie often enough, people will begin to believe it.”

I’m not sure I follow John S&M’s logic. It would be awesome to have a woman leader, however, I place policy positions well ahead of the XX vs. XY chromosomes issue. If you are gay — and I might presume you (John) are for commenting on this site — I think you would be endangering yourself (if not the world) by abstaining, instead of voting for Obama/Biden.

Abstaining in this election risks McCain putting more anti-gay, anti-working class, anti-fair minded judges on the supreme court and on other federal courts. The choice is clear vote Obama for a better future for all of us!
