McShame's Shame Called Out

Read entire letter here.

"John McCain and Sarah Palin, you are playing with fire, and you know
it. You are unleashing the monster of American hatred and prejudice,
to the peril of all of us. You are doing this in wartime. You are
doing this as our economy collapses. You are doing this in a country
with a history of assassinations.

Change the atmosphere of your campaign. Talk about the issues at hand.
Make your case. But stop stirring up the lunatic fringe of haters, or
risk suffering the judgment of history and the loathing of the
American people – forever."

Frank Schaeffer, son of the late evangelist Francis Schaeffer and former McShame
supporter.

Unfit to Lead

from Time mag
"But the Branchflower report still makes for good reading, if only because it convincingly answers a question nobody had even thought to ask: Is the Palin administration shockingly amateurish? Yes, it is. Disturbingly so."

from WashingtonMonthly
"The McCain/Palin ticket is the first in American history in which both candidates were found to have violated ethics standards before a national election."

from HuffPost
"An Associated Press review of the Republican Vice President candidate's record as mayor and governor reveals her use of elected office to promote religious causes, sometimes at taxpayer expense and in ways that blur the line between church and state."

St. Louis Dispatch Endorses Barack

"Over the past nine months, Mr. Obama, the junior senator from Illinois, has emerged as the only truly transformative candidate in the race. In the crucible that is a presidential campaign, his intellect, his temperament and equanimity under pressure consistently have been impressive. He has surrounded himself with smart, capable advisers who have helped him refine thorough, nuanced policy positions.

In a word, Mr. Obama has been presidential."

Guilty of Abuse of Power

http://www.newsday.com/news/local/politics/ny-uspalin1011,0,2713582.story

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — A legislative committee investigating Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has found she unlawfully abused her authority in firing the state's public safety commissioner. The investigative report concludes that a family grudge wasn't the sole reason for firing Public Safety Commissioner Walter Monegan but says it likely was a contributing factor.

The Republican vice presidential nominee has been accused of firing a commissioner to settle a family dispute. Palin supporters have called the investigation politically motivated.

Monegan says he was dismissed as retribution for resisting pressure to fire a state trooper involved in a bitter divorce with the governor's sister. Palin says Monegan was fired as part of a legitimate budget dispute.
