Greta was traveling with Palin on Friday. She has a Greta blogspot. Her hubby is for McCain-Palin (a Hilary man).
The video in the link I posted from SF Gate’s site is a Brightcove video which I’m thoroughly unfamiliar with. So far none of the conventional Youtube downloaders have worked for me. Here is the Brightcove address.

www.goptrust.com and the other one I can’t remember. I was here late last night. I’m just lurking now but am trying to give you leads.
This is communism at its “finest”.
If BHO takes power with the media playing 2nd fiddle, the road back will be almost impossible. Throw in a national security force full of ACORN and Nation of Islam.
Goodnight, Amerika and hello, hell hole.
They need Mark the Miner to say “Hold it right there!”
Who thinks the plan is to only bankrupt the coal industry? The only industries left will be the film industry and the left wing media. Other businesses will become collective; a word I swear I heard BHO use in the last few days.
He’s not a professor. He was a Senior Lecturer at most and US Senator at worst. President at NEVER.
North Carolina. Any NC freepers?
factcheck.org is run by liberals.
PUMA Ping!
NC freeper here.
Well, it was sort of a tongue-in-cheek comment, and I don't think McCain is that vindictive.
But there's no doubt that an Obama win would enable the media, historians, and even some Republicans to make the case that GWB was "awful, the worst" yadda yadda ...
While a McCain victory would uphold the basic Bush Administration tenants of free trade, pre-emptive self defense, capitalism, Judeo-Christian goodness and morality.
McCain has never been that enthusiastic about conservative wing of the GOP, and if McCain wasn't 100% pro-life, a case could be made he is a downright lib.
Lastly, Obama will claim, if he wins, that America has now shed its self of its evil past and is supporting one world global government, etc etc.
McCain’s speaking in SCRANTON, PA shortly on Fox News. It’s TRACE GALLAGHER. Anybody want to email Trace Gallagher? Anyway, I have Vista and my email from websites doesn’t work. Vista sucks but that’s for another day.
ON speaking with the Editorial Board of sfgate - written by a liberal:
1.seeks transparency in the political system, including accountability
* on being candid he says, “I tell the truth.”
* asked about the allure of his campaign he commented, “Young people have a pretty good nose for hypocrisy.”
* referring to social security obama says,”I’ve been very clear; we have a serious problem here.”
* and then on climate change, “”…I think in this campaign its about telling the hard truths…what [the people]need to hear, not just what they want to hear…[have to make] some sacrifices if we are serious about reversing the effects of climate change.”
2.Health Care:
* similar plan as to what is offered to Congress, with the option to buy in
* emphasis on prevention: “a health care system, not a disease care system.”
o claiming savings of $150 billion per year that could be used for subsidizing those “who don’t have [health insurance].”
* providing a catastrophic loss subsidy (something along the lines of a cancer or other disease, major accident/rehabilitation need?)
* commenting on clinton’s 1st attempt at creating a national health care system it doesn’t reach wide political concessions “behind close doors” with a “team of specialists.” this rang true as from observation clinton is generally an elitist, something generally refreshing about obama. though extremely intelligent and well spoken, he conveys a sense of open mindedness.
3. Climate Change:
* emphasis on cap and trade with extremely aggressive cap increases stating, “If [someone] wants to build a coal powered plant, they can but it will bankrupt them because of the ratcheting of caps.” Meanwhile this will create pool of billions in funding in addition to a system for the market and entrepreneurs to really chose the winning technologies and not washington because maybe they choose wrong.
* it’s not a discussion of blind ideology either. if technology does present a solution to greenhouse gas emissions or safe, reliable storage to nuclear waste, then those technologies should be pursued. he’s not taking an anthropocentric, technologist approach to ecological degradation, rather a very healthy skepticism to what is possible while recognizing what is necessary, possible and prudent now.
o along that note he also stated that the “notion of no-coal is an illusion. we get a lot of energy from coal…china is building a new one a week.”
4. Securities Markets and Oversight:
* reduce the influence of ratings agencies and brokerages in washington
o “breaking the conflict s of interest. not just in the [CDO arena] but other areas as well.” (hopefully meaning, golman saches et al making “buy” or “sell” ratings based on their long/short positions!)
* correcting the earnings discrepancy
* facilitating smoother fiscal and security markets that prevent speculative bubbles from developing, whether that be in tech or real estate.
5. Iraq:
* out by end of ‘09
* leave enough troops to protect embassy and american and international civilian workers
* no permanent bases
* on conflicts in general stating, “we do have an obligation to prevent mayhem and genocide…and i would retain the right to exercise that.” but at the same time he was generally implying a more diplomatic approach that for all regional issues including members of surrounding countries in the political dialog. this would be much more effective in the middle east, imho, than gun slinger, hawk technocrats forcing decisions like it’s a game of poker.

OMG. They put up a giant tower at BHO’s election night sight. It looks like a German guard tower.
