What kind of person sells out his or her country for gain? Most would call them traitors.
What kind of person lies and distorts for gain. Most would call them liars.
I'd call them Palin supporters, starting with John McCain.
It is tragic, really, that so many elected Republicans, at all levels of government, have been put in the embarassing and shameful position that has led them to become lying traitors.
I was going to say "forced them to become," but they haven't been forced. A handful of conservatives have awakened from the right wing extremist koolaid stupor to reject Palin as incapable of handling the presidency.
Frankly, it is shocking and disappointing that so many intelligent, though misguided pundits, like Peggy Noonan and Pat Buchanan defend this embarassing woman as a great candidate. I don't know how they, or the elected officials can look themselves in the mirror. They are profoundly morally misguided, placing party loyalty over national loyalty. There's not an iota of doubt about it. They are betraying their nation by supporting an ignorant, oafish fool to be vice president, a 72 year old heartbeat away from the presidency.
The ironic thing is, at the Republican National Convention, the big phrase was "Nation First." That stopped almost simultaneously with the announcement that Palin was McCain's pick. Clearly, picking Palin over hundreds of thousands-- yes, perhaps even millions of more qualified people-- wiped out any claim by the GOP or McCain that they were putting America first.
Just about every day, as information about Sarah Palin unfolds, or as she stumbles in new ways, we see more reasons why the first impressions were correct-- McCain's nomination of Palin was a traitorous, strictly partisan, desperate attempt to gain the advantage in the election.
Let's not forget the fawning support of right wing talk radio hosts. These hosts are generally fairly bright people. They know the truth and yet they sell the Super Sarah message to their koolaid drinking listeners. That makes these talk show hosts lying traitors too.
Some blame McCain's drop in the polls on his weaker positions and gaffes on the economy. But it may also be because Americans are not as stupid as the cynical campaign managers and insiders McCain has surrounded himself with think.
It is not enough though, for McCain and Palin to lose because of McCain's traitorous choice of VP. All the lying traitors who have supported Sarah, the low class, ignorant oaf deserve to be voted out of office.
If opponents of these lying traitors are smart, they'll use the Palin support against them. Try a line like this: "If you think the idea of Sarah Palin as president is a bad joke, then how can you vote back in -fill-in-the-blank after he/she enthusiastically endorsed and supported her? How many more bad, misguided, partisan politics driven decisions has he/she made?"
Palin was a desperate ploy. She should have been repudiated by the GOP leadership immediately. The failure to do so was a profoundly diagnosti indication of just how craven and cynical the party has become, how low it has fallen.
In coming days, I predict we WILL see some Republican candidates who put their jobs first. They'll realize that support for Palin is a toxic choice. There won't be many. The old conservative wing of the GOP is a dying breed and the newcomers are far more extreme, less ideological, more theological. They will lose or see major drops in their support.
Of course, in two years, there's a good chance that even the best efforts of the Democrats, who will sweep the elections in November, will fail at turning around the economic disaster we are just in the middle of. In two years, when it it is likely that it will become clear that the Democratic leadership made a massive error in supporting the $700 billion bailout and, probably more bailouts to follow, the lying traitors may start looking pretty good in comparison to the economic cowards who obeyed Bush and Paulson and ignored their constituents.
The verdict is "in" on Palin and her supporters. It is not yet "in" on the bailout.

A few declarations.
-While I'm registered as a Democrat, I consider myself to be a dynamic critic of the Democratic party, just as, well, not quite as much, but almost as much as I am a critic of republicans.
-My articles express my personal opinion, not the opinion of this website.
It is a fact that America's average IQ has dropped 30 points in the past 40 years, which correlates with when our government added the poison Sodium Fluoride into our water system and the systematic dismantling of our education system.
This may well explain why we have a populace that excepts a two-party system the does not represent them and can be easily manipulated by a corporate controlled media.
Yet even with a lowered IQ most of the public can still grasp that they're being screwed, and that too can be manipulated by powers above both false political parties for the benefit of Power Elites that own not only this country, but through their control of money markets throughout the world own political parties in most of the countries that matter along with their false political parties.
Case in point; both candidates supported this foolish so-called "recovery bill" against the wishes of 90% of the people, this by itself is enough to prove that as a concern, we, the people, simply don't matter, but this is not the point. As mentioned "nothing in politics happens by accident".
Being both parties are indeed owned by the same entities, why than should it matter which one gets to symbolize the false representation of a populace that itself doesn't matter?
Control by demoralization.
Obama at the beginning of his campaign was cleverly represented as the one that would end the war in Iraq, not unlike those that had this issue as their central theme, but unlike them, as time passed, so did Obama's position on ending the war in Iraq and instead promoted shifting it to Afghanistan and other countries to prolong this made-up "war on terror", completely by-passing the fact that it's all a lie. But I digress. Since Obama captured the nomination his immediate turn to the right angered and dismayed many progressives that were gathering like a tidal-wave behind him, his support of FISA was the start and every position since has been to abandon what gave him that momentum and nomination to begin with.
The manipulators say this was because he had to "shift to the middle" to win in a general election, which of course defies logic since what he was doing with his original message was waking-up the enormous sleeping giant of those 50% of voters that had given-up on our corrupt system long ago. So just what was this purpose?
To put that sleeping giant back to sleep. Once capturing the nomination there was no need to awaken people, indeed, it's not to the Power Elites advantage to awaken anyone, but to keep them disillusioned and disenfranchised. This is Obama's real purpose.
It's obvious that Power Elites will have a better chance of continuing their goal of a One World Government by using the completely dumbed-down McCain supporters and having him in office, again, not that it really matters, being both drink from the same well, but by further disillusioning the general public and disengaging them from the political process it makes it easier for Power Elites to foster their plan. The last thing they want is for us to see through the matrix.
With this latest treasonous act and in your face support of this massive give away of our money to private interests, which will do nothing but make a coming depression even worse for us and better for the World Bankers/Power Elites, it was for many of Obama supporters the last straw and they are abandoning him and go Independent and given the fragmented field among those choices they present no fear to the Power Elites. But what it will do is syphon more votes away from Obama and make a plausible election of McCain possible with the aid of our corrupt voting system.
In a sum, it's a set-up. Raise hopes, smash them, instill those that will best follow orders.
We're being played in a grand game by Power Elites that have been gaming this system long before any of us were alive and they're doing a damn good job of completing their plan to destroy this country, as they are others, as we witness a world-wide collapse of financial institutions as the 13 original international banks rake-in the bulk of the riches and instill their "shock & awe" policies so very well described by Naomi Klein in her book Shock Doctrine.
So what are our choices? What can we do to throw a wrench in the Power Elites plans?
Unfortunately not much. Our time is short, we lack organization or the means to have a cohesive message portrayed. This is where a lot of "ifs" come into play.
If indeed the "sleeping giant" can get behind one independent candidate and if we can over come our corrupted voting system we could have a chance.
There is also the if enough people simply stopped complying with this corrupt system by refusing to pay taxes, making our own money system, refusing military service and for those in the military refusing to obey dishonorable orders, and pulling our money and support away from all those institutions that prop-up the Power Elites phony system we could than start from scratch by using the precepts of our Constitution as it should be used.
The question is have we enough intelligence left to do this, or has our collective IQ been damage and our disillusionment gone to far to do these things? And do we have the courage to admit that we've been gamed?

We have become a nation of frightened little beings. We are worse than a 5 year old at a elementary school Haunted House.
When did it become so outrageous to be outraged? I am totally baffled by the media's attempt to guide this election (which went on entrirely way too long) toward selfish ratings instead of truthful journalism?
Corporate America has a stake in all of this far bigger than I could ever imagine. We have been watching "Wag the Dog" or almost eight years now, and nobody of mainstream media has the courage to step up to the truth plate?
A big bowl of goo is what we are suppose to swallow these days? We are told it tastes good, but at least some of us knows it's rancid.
Keep 'em coming Mr. Kall...

... because they aren't a media at all, but propaganda arm of Power Elites that own all of them just like they own the two parties. There are only two main sources from which all media networks get their information, Reuters and Associated Press, both own by extension the Rothschild family.
It's why with all the obvious evidence that 9/11 was an inside job instead of having so-called investigative journalists doing their job, they instead ridicule those that point that fact out.
In order for us to change the landscape we have to fundamentally change our habits, one of which is by throwing away your TV and ignoring major print media. It's not there to inform but to distort.

You might be interested in this clip of Larry McDonald on Crossfire discussing the NWO 15 years ago, back in the day when it could be discussed. Shortly therafter Larry was killed on that KAL 007 crash(shoot down). Larry exposed the massive aid and trade of the US with the Soviet Union back in the day when they were the enemy (today replaced by the terrorists) .
Anyways, whats going down is way too advanced to even think of change. If change comes, it will come from the top, not from the brain dead entertainment addicted fat lazy bottom or middle.

and it was still much how people try to dismiss those same organizations today, which of course is all part of the plan.
It's not like Obama or McCain would come out and admit the influence various committees and groups do have or their relationship to them. that would take away from their aurora, after all, why vote for someone if you know they're simply a sock-puppet?

I can always rely on you to be the lone seer of the truth Mr. M.
No one dares allude to "One World Order". Everyone treats it like the "Cancer" word, ignore it and it will go away. Even as we make giant strides to becomming just like the rest of the world. Not neccesarily like countries we should emulate either, we want to be like China , Russia, anyplace which is or compromises communism.
I don't believe that people in this country will wake up to the fact that Obama's just like McCain until they're changing the flag and shutting down websites.
Good luck people, you're all in for the surprise of your lives.

It's extremely hard for people to believe that their status-quo is threatened. No one wants to believe their job won't be there, food won't be on the shelf, gas won't be in their tank.
And indeed to maintain some sense of equilibrium, and never having known true deprivation, most don't have any sense of what living under true hardship is like, especially pseudo-intellectuals of the kind found in blogs like this.
To speak of Illuminati, NWO, and their off-shoots also gives a sense that there's a lack of control over what one could do. After all it's a scary thing to realize there are enormous forces of evil intent working to enslave you and worse.
But to not talk about them surely condemns one to become their victim. So the only thing we can do is to keep bringing it up.
"In the bringing a patriot is a man to be feared and shunned, but as time proves him right and risk becomes less he is joined by weaker men."

Bush Sr. used the same tactic in picking Dan Quayle to insulate himself from impeachment should a Democratic House investigate his role in the Iran/Contra affair. His cynical and dangerous choice for a running mate while riding on Reagan's coattails into the Oval Office should have alerted the MSM and all of America that the Bushes had no great loyalty to the welfare of the American people.

Failed conservative values of lying and deception.
There's a long conservative trail of valuing deception. Iraq war, etc. There's the whole lie and deception of conservative values and family values, which is really just self-righteousness and hypocrisy.Self-righteousness is a form of lying and deception.
Failed Conservative Values: Congresswoman Maxine Waters on Blame, Hate & Lying
I interviewed Congresswoman Maxine Waters and asked her about progressive and conservative values. In this section, Maxine mentions that conservatives have tricked people with the failed conservative values of blame, hate and lying. These values are also failing because more people are not following them anymore and in fact, people are starting to turn toward progressives values. She goes on to talk about how the occupation of Iraq is a metaphor for the failure of conservative values. View @: DemocracyForAmerica.com - Opednews.com(Poll) - Dailykos.com
Failed Conservative Values: Arianna Huffington on Family Values Hypocrisy
Arianna Huffington is a well know progressive speaker and activist. She started the popular Huffington Post website and it seems you can't turn on a progressive TV show without her popping up on it and taking a swipe at the conservatives. I saw Arianna at our local bookstore where she was promoting her new book, The Right is Wrong. During the Q and A, I asked her how conservative values have failed. She had plenty to say.

Traiters and cowards fits the Bush Administration, and a sizable % of the Democrats. A massive fraud has been done to the American people, and the world at large.
Integrity and Morarilty have no part in the traiters lives. At least you would believe that they would support America but no such luck.
Let the people punish all those who did not support their constituants.

We are experiencing the final fall of America, that is unless the people themselves develop some sort of backbone. We have witnessed 8 yrs. of citizen degradation by an idiotic syncophant and his cronies. We have witnessed the almost total destruction of the Constitution and all of our rights, yet damn few have fought against it. We have witnessed our military being used as a bludgeon against a country that had NO involvement in 9/11. Our elections have been stolen, turned into the laughing stock of the world, yet Bush and Co. insist that others live by our rules. Well, just maybe they are.
Now we have a bunch of spineless legislators allowing themselves to be stampeded by the wild threats of Bush and Co. Now we have a man (McCain) who is becoming more erratic every day. We have a Sarah Palin who is so far out of touch with reality, that she thinks she is capable of running this nation. We are seeing those who are supposed to act in our best interest, sit and watch while Bush and Co. play the violin while America burns.
All of them belong in either in depth psychiatic therapy or behind bars. If any of us betrayed our country, the trust of the people this way; we would be in jail or probably in front of a firing squad at the orders of "His supreme majesty - Geo. Bush", with the order co-signed by McCain, Palin and many others.
Where do we go from here now? We are already in that handbasket on the doorstep of Hell.

but I don't have a clue why you let neo-liberal Democrats off the hook. They've been enablers and co-conspirators all along.
It isn't really a partisan issue at all. Americans have been seduced and abandoned by their own greed and voluntary blindness to the exploitations that fed our prosperity.
We are getting just what we deserve.

As the stock market continues to free fall, despite the 800 billion dollar bailout, losses will go up in retirement funds. Already the AP report $2 trillion in losses. "Public and private pension funds and employees' private retirement savings accounts " like 401(k)'s " have lost some 20 percent overall since mid-2007." http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27073061/
