All I care about is using this opportunity to promote myself and make money."<BR/><BR/>Which is fairly consistent with the low (or nearly non-existent) moral standards of cash advance enterprises.<BR/><BR/>Palin would make an extremely poor President. The idea that it is wrong to criticize a candidate for public office is absurd. The idea that all candidates deserve equal criticism and condemnation is also absurd. Some people are simply better qualified for a position than others. To say that this fact ought not to be reported is to say that we are not permitted to speak the truth.<BR/><BR/>The fact is that Palin's inability to answer basic questions on how the government functions demonstrates a basic lack of competence to be President. Furthermore, she has demonstrated a significant lack of ability to draw conclusions from the available evidence.<BR/><BR/>She may have some good qualities, but the mere fact that a person has some good qualities does not imply that she is qualified to be President. My niece has some admirable qualities. I would not vote for her to become Vice President (and potentially President) of the United States.<BR/><BR/>This is not an "attack" on her. It is simply the truth - that is not where her talents lie.Alonzo Fyfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05687777216426347054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16594468.post-80066291795535076442008-10-24T03:21:00.000-06:002008-10-24T03:21:00.000-06:00Vice Presidential candidate and Alaska Governor Sa...Vice Presidential candidate and Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has been getting more negative attention than positive attention from the media. For example, last Saturday Palin made her late-night entertainment debut on Saturday Night Live. Instead of commending Palin for playing along or mentioning that her appearance gave SNL its highest ratings in 14 years, the press criticized her for her appearance. Palin has been under constant attack; the media has bashed Palin for her performance as Governor of Alaska, the pregnancy of her unmarried 17-year-old daughter, and even her character. The media has stooped to new lows by implying that the United States would self-destruct should Palin have to replace McCain as president. As is typical with unbalanced news-reporting, these attacks are misconstrued half-truths. In fact, Sarah Palin has a large number of admirers who commend her for her persistent effort to improve the state of Alaska. Other admirers point to her unwavering support of the disabled population and her push for the interests of special-needs individuals, like those with autism and Down syndrome. Many more followers put their trust in Sarah Palin because she advocates for personal responsibility and financial freedom. Palin opposes the elimination of cash advances, a legitimate and invaluable resource because people have the right to financial freedoms and the right to choose to get a payday loan. <BR/><BR/>Post Courtesy of Personal Money Store<BR/>Professional Blogging Team<BR/>Feed Back: 1-866-641-3406<BR/>Home: http://personalmoneystore.com/NoFaxPaydayLoans.html<BR/>Blog: http://personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16594468.post-51075268212777988632008-10-02T15:18:00.000-06:002008-10-02T15:18:00.000-06:00Heads up!

Biden's first name is Joseph, not John. <BR/><BR/><BR/>As to the rest of your post:<BR/><BR/>I'm afraid that even should a moderator issue such a preface, the debate would still degenerate into the pointless recitation of talking points you expect it will be.<BR/><BR/>Many people in the US seem utterly unable to separate blather from substance. As a result, candidates feel free to feign competence with empty rhetoric and appeals to emotion and prejudice. Though not a new set of circumstances here in the States, the depth and breadth of the deficits in our present politics has reached simply staggering proportions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16594468.post-82179135076916490432008-10-02T08:42:00.000-06:002008-10-02T08:42:00.000-06:00Recently an insurance company nearly wind up....A ...Recently an insurance company nearly wind up....<BR/><BR/>A bank is nearly bankrupt......<BR/><BR/><BR/>Who fault?<BR/><BR/><BR/>The top management of the Public listed company ( belong to "public" ) salary should be tied a portion of it to the shares price ( IPO or ave 5 years ).... so when the shares price drop, it don't just penalise the investors, but those who don't take care of the company.....If this rule is pass on, without any need of further regulation, all industries ( as long as it is public listed ) will be self regulated......<BR/><BR/><BR/>Sign a petition to your favourite president candidate, congress member again and ask for their views to comment on this, and what regulations they are going to raise for implementation.....If you agree on my point, please share with many people as possible....<BR/><BR/><BR/>http://remindmyselfinstock.blogspot.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
