   Well I don’t know about all of that, all I do know is we can stop caring, that political powerhouse of a thinker Lindsey Lohan has spoken, and we all should listen.

   Lindsay Lohan isn’t happy with Republican vice presidential candidate John McCain’s choice of running mate, Sarah Palin.

   “I really cannot bite my tongue anymore when it comes to Sarah Palin,” the actress, 22, wrote on her MySpace blog Sunday.

   “I couldn’t be more supportive of a woman in office, but let’s face it, it comes down to the person, and their beliefs, male or female,” Lohan said.

   “I would have liked to have remained impartial, however I am afraid that the ‘lipstick on a pig’ comments will overshadow the issues and the fact that I believe Barack Obama is the best choice, in this election, for president,” she added.

   That’s it boyz and girlz, Lindsey has spoken we can pack it up. There is just no sense in even trying to run against and endorsement like that. – Lorica

   What the Flock of seagulls is this?!?!?!? Barry tried to stop our troops from withdrawing too soon??

   WHILE campaigning in public for a speedy withdrawal of US troops from Iraq, Sen. Barack Obama has tried in private to persuade Iraqi leaders to delay an agreement on a draw-down of the American military presence.

   According to Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari, Obama made his demand for delay a key theme of his discussions with Iraqi leaders in Baghdad in July.

   What a peice of ‘work’:

   “He asked why we were not prepared to delay an agreement until after the US elections and the formation of a new administration in Washington,” Zebari said in an interview.

   Obama insisted that Congress should be involved in negotiations on the status of US troops – and that it was in the interests of both sides not to have an agreement negotiated by the Bush administration in its “state of weakness and political confusion.”

   “However, as an Iraqi, I prefer to have a security agreement that regulates the activities of foreign troops, rather than keeping the matter open.” Zebari says.

   Though Obama claims the US presence is “illegal,” he suddenly remembered that Americans troops were in Iraq within the legal framework of a UN mandate. His advice was that, rather than reach an accord with the “weakened Bush administration,” Iraq should seek an extension of the UN mandate.

   While in Iraq, Obama also tried to persuade the US commanders, including Gen. David Petraeus, to suggest a “realistic withdrawal date.” They declined.

   Talk about sedictious behavior!!! The more I learn about this man, the less I care for him. – Lorica

   Lorica, if you think like a leftist, it makes perfect sense. Screaming about rapid troop withdrawal is a transparently political act, designed to play on fears and fling mud at the Bush administration. If the troops came home tomorrow, it would be Obama’s worst nightmare for several reasons:

   (1) It robs him of an issue. Obama can squawk about troop levels because he knows full well that principled people only want the troops to come home victorious, which is why the President isn’t going to do that rashly. If the troops come home now, McCain can point to the surge he championed as the turning point that led to a stable Iraq and contrast that to Obama’s craven eagerness to surrender.

   (2) If he’s elected, Obama wants credit for ending the war. Remember, he’s all about embellishing his own image and resume. His favorite topic is himself…he makes Bill Clinton look modest and self-deprecating. If the troops are gone before he takes office, he would almost feel cheated.

   (3) Never forget my First Law of Leftist Thought: Nothing is as important as POWER. If he has the power set a withdrawal timetable, he can use that as leverage over the Iraqi government, or over congressional appropriations, or other places where he wants to prove his political manhood. If troops’ lives are lost because they are left in Iraq longer than needed, it’s no big deal to the left, as long as they achieve power.

   You and I, of course, have a different set of standards, which is why this angers us so. It’s more important to us that America achieve its goals than for us to achieve power.
