Yet another Republican Theocrat on a major national ticket...and, of course, you right wing lug nuts love it.

I am rather intrigued by the "accountability" quote at the end of this tripe....We true blue Democrats can only hope that the McCain camp--and Conservatives in general---take Mr. Luntz's advice.

Accountability is--

Republicans OWNING the decisions to remove "pay-go" from the policy's of the congress 15 years ago--allowing their lobbyist buddies to loot the treasury without having to off-set the new corporate welfare with either program cuts or tax increases. Thankfully, the Democrats OWN the decision to re-instate this key fiscal safeguard their 2nd day of return to control in 2006

Republicans OWNING the decision to borrow money from china to fund a war in Iraq--a country that did not, and could not, attack us or be a credible threat in the mid-east and thus destroying our economy, allowing the Afghanistan/Pakistan front of the REAL war on terror to be slighted on both troops and reconstruction funding.
Thankfully, the Democrats have, over the last 2 years, been able to reduce the Iraq expenditures if not end them--and diverted those funds to domestic priorities and the anti-terror war that REALLY MATTERS to our National Security and the Security of the region.

Republicans OWNING the decision to spend 10 BILLION dollars per month on reconstruction in Iraq--while blocking all attempts to fund 2 BILLION dollars to re-build American Schools in the inner cities--- begging the question "why are Iraqi children more important than American Children to the Republicans"? Who in the McCain/Palin/Bush/Cheney group will take accountability for that question? Bush Pushed the agenda, Cheney lobbied congress for the decision, McCain voted for the choice made--Palin's hands are clean--she hadn't served in elected office yet--and so are Obama's and Biden's--they led the fight to reverse this decision---Accountability and Experience DO COUNT--Mr. Luntz is right.

Yes, Ms. Saunders--let's PUHLEASE talk about accountability--Going from an 900 million annual surplus that was allowing us to pare down the National Debt that our Children will have to pay if we don't---to a 1 TRILLION dollar deficit in just 15 years---Let's see you Conservative Accountability mavens speak to that imperiling of America's future generations.

How about close to 2 trillion dollars in "grants" and other welfare to Fortune 500 companies---while we gutted the 90 billion dollar annual social safety net for the poorest among us? Can you make this Conservative/Gilded Age congress and administration accept responsibilty for those poor children going hungry and families going without medical care to finance Exxon Mobiles operations while Exxon is making close to 160 billion annually in net profits?

Shame on you all---for viewing accountability as valid only when it relates to the poor and the middle class--and to individuals on the other side of the political divide...but not to your pill addicted radio "heros" (read SCUM) like Limbaugh or your corrupt political classes or to the million dollar lobbyists whose trough you feed at----What a Sick Group of scum bags your party and you are.

Ms. Saunders does not present all the facts. Sarah Palin was a big supporter of the bridge to nowhere before the audacity of the project was exposed to the project. She was a fundraiser for Ted Stevens, who appeared in political ads with her.
The town of 6,000 people of which she was mayor has received millions of dollars in earmarks. Why should $1,600,000 in Federal money be spent for bus facilities in a town too small to need a bus?
Sarah Palin is more of the same Republican politics that is leading this country to ruin. Nothing more needs to be said about her.
