Hey man, the sexy comments started way earlier - I'm just saying...
Ok, that's good to know. Do you differentiate "success" or is it specifically, as it is in this case, political and monitary? What specific programs, policies, enactions as Governor of Alaska were you jumping up and down about? Was it the bridge to no-where? Is she a "successful" mother - according to her own church's beliefs? Have you ever riled against teen moms or their irresponsible parents? Have you seen her daughters MySpace page? Would YOU allow your pregnant teen daughter to behave like that? Strong as in weight-lifting strong? And again, we have a difference of opinion on beauty.

Definitely not the polls.
Yes, the liberal security blanket -polls.
I don't need polls to know that Palin ripped Obama to shreds tonight.

Nah, thats pretty accurate!
Despite Bush's admiration for smaller, more efficient government, the federal bureaucracy, after shrinking by almost 3 percent in the previous decade, grew by 5 percent (79,000 jobs) during his first three years in office. Some of the growth was due to the war on terrorism - adding a new cabinet department and increasing defense appointments. But there was also some padding - or thickening - of the bureaucracy through the creation of new positions at the senior level in cabinet departments that have nothing to do with national security. The number of people at the highest pay level more than tripled during Bush's first three years. The significance of this thickening is that it adds layers of administration to cabinet departments at a time when the efficient upward and downward flow of information within the bureaucracy has become a major issue, even a life-and-death issue, as it was in the intelligence bureaucracy in 2001. A 2004 survey showed that the new Department of Homeland Security had jumped from three to twenty-one layers of administration and had 146 senior administrative positions two years after its creation.

Here's how I look at the choice Americans face in this election: In politics, there are some candidates who use change to promote their careers, and then there are those, like John McCain, who use their careers to promote change

McCain picked Palin on Aug 30th if I recall correctly.. No bounce yet.

Wrong. The announcement of Sarah Palin almost totally wiped out the bounce that Obama/Biden got from the DNC.

You are trying to slant it. I never said government hasn't increased under Bush. I DO however believe that if Obama/Biden get elected, we will long for THESE days of smaller government.
"His tax increase are the fine print in his economic plan. And let me be specific. The Democratic nominee for president supports plans to raise income taxes and raise payroll taxes and raise investment income taxes".
"As for that VP talk all the time, I'll tell you, I still can't answer that question until somebody answers for me what is it exactly that the VP does every day?"
