I absolutely adore Betty White. One of the funniest woman ever.

I don't think it will damage Palin much. Her supporters are not concerned whether she's qualified or ethically challenged.

It's all just part of some vast left-wing conspiracy.

"I just have to rely on the good judgment of the voters not to buy into these negative attack ads. Sooner or later, people are going to figure out if all you run is negative attack ads you don't have much of a vision for the future or you're not ready to articulate it." -- John McCain, 2000

Craig Ferguson, "If you don't vote, you're a moron".
Funny thing is, in Brazil vote is not just a right, it is an obligation (with great power comes great responsibility).
enjoy!

What they really mean is: "if taxation or regulations mean our profit
margins go from 'great' to merely 'ok' we'll lay people off and move
businesses overseas to squeeze every drop of profit out of this
project."
That's very true Knut. But, job loss is job loss no matter the reasoning. Big business is greedy. They aren't going to take the loss when their taxes increase. They'll raise prices, cut costs or both. Either way, we lose.

nice one Tom, what happened with the real John McCain? It seems that he died and some giant bug is using his skin as a cover (remember Men in Black?)

Scott, I encourage you to say all you desire in support of McCain. But
must you say retarded things just to have something to say? Really, can
you possibly imagine these vipers endangering a dollar in their pockets
to spite a Democratic candidate?
Rich, could you at least attempt to think before replying? The market reacting to something bad for business isn't them doing something intentionally out of spite. It's fear of the hits business will take causing investors to sell. That causes the market to drop.

It's kind of like Wright and Ayres. I don't think it will damage Obama much. His supporters are not concerned whether he's qualified or ethically challenged.

It's nothing like Wright and Ayers. It's the difference between being unethical in the performance of your sworn duties versus being in the same room with people whose opinions you disagree with.
Wright's words are only words. Ayers activities occured when Obama was a child (and even had Ayers gone to prison for those actions he would be free long before now, and one would assume, still active in his community). Palin's OWN actions (not the actions of others with whom she associates) may prove to be criminal.

Concerning Reverend Wright: Should a list be made of every person in his congregation who listened to his sermons/lectures/opinions, and should every person on that list be forever barred from holding public office?
If not, what EXACTLY should be done with that list? If character is going to be defined, even in part, by who you choose to listen to without dissent or disagreement, how far do you go? A candidate with an obnoxious or crazy uncle they never disowned, a candidate with a shoplifting nephew they never turned in to the authorities, a candidate with a spouse who smoked grass in university that they never got expelled...
How far back should character be measured? Who in the world could possibly measure up to a standard that requires every person they interact with be without blemish? How serious do words spoken in the candidate's presence have to be before they are required to disavow the speaker, and how far back in the candidate's life should you be expected to dig in order to find someone they never disavowed to prove their character is substandard? Work place? University? Grade school? How early in life do potential candidate's have to start separating themselves from those the electorare may someday find objectionable?
Just curious.
