Democratic vice-presidential nominee Joe Biden said yesterday that he and running mate Barack Obama could pursue criminal charges against the Bush administration if they are elected in November. Biden's comments, first reported by ABC news, attracted little notice on a day dominated by the drama surrounding his Republican counterpart, Alaska governor Sarah Palin. But his statements represent the Democrats' strongest vow so far this year to investigate alleged misdeeds committed during the Bush years. "If there has been a basis upon which you can pursue someone for a criminal violation, they will be pursued," Biden said during a campaign event...

She's not qualified to be president, and in picking her, McCain shows that he has little respect for the presidency.So let us ask the question that should be on the mind of every thinking person in the world at this moment: If John McCain becomes the 44th president of the United States, what are the odds that a blood clot or falling object will make Sarah Palin the 45th? The actuarial tables on the Social Security Administration website suggest that there is a better than 10% chance that McCain will die during his first term in office. Needless to say,...

WASHINGTON - Rep. Barney Frank is among the first Democrats to publicly say Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s family background, including the pregnancy of her unwed teenage daughter, should be fair game for campaign discussion. "They’re the ones that made an issue of her family," Frank, D-Mass., said Tuesday in a telephone interview with The Associated Press.

McCain presidential campaign strategist Steve Schmidt went on the record with the Washington Post's Howard Kurtz today, revealing the depths to which the mainstream media has sunk in their efforts to destroy the family of Republican vice presidential pick Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.Schmidt said that the campaign has been deluged with demands from reporters that the Palin family submit to DNA testing to assuage baseless rumors promulgated by the Democratic party's favorite website, the Daily Kos.Schmidt accused the media of being "on a mission to destroy" Sarah Palin.Kurtz writes that Markos Moulitsas, the founder of the Daily Kos, believes the...

The Politico has received an opposition research file from the Alaska Democrats. You can read it in PDF here. In the file, the Democrats have released Sarah Palin's social security number minus the last four digits. Also tied to the information are her various home addresses. Back in 2005, Democrats used Michael Steele's social security number to get his credit record. It is atrocious that the Democrats would not only seek out Sarah Palin's social security number, but release it in opposition research to the press. We need to know who did this. We also need to know what happened....

Barney Frank: Sarah Palin’s family life is fair game Tuesday, September 2, 2008 - Updated 5m ago WASHINGTON - Rep. Barney Frank is among the first Democrats to publicly say Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s family background, including the pregnancy of her unwed teenage daughter, should be fair game for campaign discussion. Republicans have stressed Palin’s conservative family values in announcing her selection as John McCain’s running mate. Frank says the disclosure about her daughter undercuts conservative claims that liberalism harms family life. Frank said Palin’s family is "in great turmoil." Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama has said he considers family...

The cocky left-wing group, the Campaign for America's Future, is trying to put a damper on the Republican Party's national convention in St. Paul, Minnesota, a Washington Post blog reports. CAF is so certain that conservatism is writhing in its death throes that it feels it can afford to blow money on extending a middle finger to GOP delegates in a TV spot that is running in delegates' hotels. To the tune of "Thanks for the Memories," the ad opens with a caption, "To the conservatives gathered in St. Paul:" followed by "Thanks for the memories..." It shows a flooded...

DIRTY TOOLS As Obama operatives scour records in Alaska for dirt on Gov. Sarah Palin, they are also seeking embarrassing materials about her husband. And it isn't just the Obama campaign. Several left-wing groups with ties to MoveOn.org have used their network to offer as to $5,000 for damaging employment or personal information about him. Meanwhile, the Obama campaign has asked the DNC to coordinate surrogates that appear on camera to attack Gov. Palin. "Last Friday, the Democrat women they put all looked old and tired, nothing like what folks were seeing from Palin," says an Obama media adviser. "It...

Fortunately we took two screenshots so that the weasal can't pretend he didn't say it.

See the link he has posted on his website: http://www.michaelmoore.com/ "August 31st, 2008 -- Show Us the DNA!; Claim: Palin is the grandmother of her 'daughter'" The liberals have gone beserk! Someone should post a screenshot of this in case he takes it down.

The below video is making its way around the internet in a most viral way…it is said to be — I have no 100 per cent proof — former DNC Chair Don Fowler….and the text is this “the hurricane is going to hit New Orleans (chuckling) about the time they [meaning the Repub Convention] start. the timing at least it appears now that that it will be there Monday. That just demonstrates God is on our side.” There is lots of ambient plane noise on the tape….if this is NOT DON FOWLER, someone please drop that into the internet in...

Former Democratic National Committee Chairman Don Fowler, on an airplane back to South Carolina, is caught laughing that Hurricane Gustav is going to hit New Orleans at the start of the GOP Convention and therefore God must be with the Democrats. "Everything is cool," he tells Congressman John Spratt (D-SC), seated next to him. They both laugh it up. Video at link ... BREAKING: Statement from SCGOP Chairman Katon Dawson "The outrageous behavior of two of the Obama campaign's highest profile supporters in the south is despicable, a cynical politization of life and death. I call on Barack Obama to...

An Open Letter to God, from Michael Moore Dear God, The other night, James Dobson's ministry asked all believers to pray for a storm on Thursday night so that the Obama acceptance speech outdoors in Denver would have to be canceled. I see that You have answered Dr. Dobson's prayers -- except the storm You have sent to earth is not over Denver, but on its way to New Orleans! In fact, You have scheduled it to hit Louisiana at exactly the moment that George W. Bush is to deliver his speech at the Republican National Convention. Now, heavenly Father,...

First, please read this e-mail from michellemalkin.com reader/commenter CantCureStupid, who is a member of the Louisiana Army National Guard. She asks for your thoughts and prayers as the people of his state ready for the storm: Hi Michelle. I’m a new member to the site and a big fan, and right now I’m experiencing a brief (and rare) moment of downtime. I am a member of the Louisiana Army National Guard, and we are up to our nostrils in preparations for Hurricane Gustav. There is a lot going on right now in south Louisiana, but mostly we are watching this...

Former Chairman of the Democratic National Committe Don Fowler and Democratic Congressman Don Spratt are caught on video laughing about the fact that a hurricane is about to hit New Orleans, to the political advantage, they suppose, of their party. You can draw your own conclusion about the moral stature of these people. Barack Obama is one of the worst. He tried to make political hay out of Hurricane Katrina as recently as Thursday night.

Red State blogger “absentee” had the good fortune to travel from Denver to Charlotte after the Democratic convention with DNC National Chair Don Fowler and Congressman John Spratt of South Carolina. His fortune turned into Fowler’s misfortune, as it turns out the blogger videotaped a conversation on the plane between the two prominent Democrats, who seem pleased about Hurricane Gustav. In fact, Fowler apparently believes it to be divine intervention, as shown in this clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrBus8ORR78 . . This comes just a day after Brother Michael Moore saw the Face of God in a natural disaster bearing down on New...
