Here's a google search of one of his phrases showing up in a host of other online forums and blog comments (it's either the same guy or, more likely, he's cutting-and-pasting from the same sources).
Some people think the Obama campaign is paying people to do this, but I think it's probably just a labor of love for people without the social skills for door-to-door canvasing. Either way, it's kind of pathetic. Doubly so in this case as he's managed to stumble upon a forum with very few Americans.

Re: Sarah Palin
it's quite sweet really.
Plus that woman is bloody awful
(although I have rather come round to McCain after his appearances on Saturday Night Live - but sods law says he'd only go and do a william henry harrison and we'd end up with 'her')

Re: Sarah Palin
Lol fool, I said it's from another site. I play pa. I'm not a drone or whatever. Besides. this discussion is moot, considering as how Obama won. And don't feel intelligent, you didn't catch me on anything. LOL
EDIT: and another thing, I WAS a republican until the party split, i DID vote for McCain in the 2000 Primary, I turn democrat in 2004.

She'll probably end up with her own talk show.

I have registered Republican and Democrat at various times in my life. I have voted Democrat more often than I have voted Republican.
I am genuinely apprehensive about a person with little executive experience taking control of my government. Especially one who has consistently expressed opinions which would indicate that he favors massively larger government at the federal level. Not a good idea in my opinion.
I voted for McCain, not because I liked his ideas, I didn't. However, I found them far less worrisome than I find Obama's.
I am an American, and I am proud to be one. I will genuinely root for Obama to prove me wrong and be the best president ever. He has not done anything so far in his appointments or iterated plans to give me cause for celebration.
We shall see what we shall see.

Palin is not a run of the mill politician. She was forced to run under a run of the mill politician.
I fail to understand how the actions of her daughter make Ms. Palin a hypocrite. Unless she was having sex with her daughter or throwing orgies for her daughters birthday.
I careful look at the facts will show that the Governor of Alaska didn't support the bridge. She waited until the expenditure was explained to her and then turned down the money.
As to her "fun activitiers" run of the mill politiciaqns accused her of using her office for personal advantage. Some of her enemies in the state legislature decided to do a legislative investigation although an investigation by the state agency in charge of such things was already looking in to it. Before doing a single thing the head of the legislative committee announced that they would have devastating information on Palin to be released just before the election.
The State Personel Board conducted a thorough investigation and did not find any inappropriate activity on Palin's part.
The, highly pro-Obama media reported those things which they deemed newsworthy in a manner they deemed helpful.

And I'm not in favour of very restricting civil rights either, so I cannot agree with the Republicans on issues such as abortion and gayrights.
However, Obama's views on the illegal migration, Kyoto, import tariff s and the sudden retreat out of Iraq do not appear to be in the interest of the United States. So I cannot fully agree with him either.
So when taking American political tests I always end up as a centralist.

How about the Democrats who want to restrict the freedom of speech/freedom of the press? Who want to do away with the secret ballot in union elections?

I became a Republican when I figured out that my wife would stop blaming me for everything the Democrats did if I wasn't one.
I stayed a Republican when I figured out that the real threat to freedom in the United States was coming from the left and not from the right.

Governer-appointed board clears governer of wrongdoing, cont. p87
There are many things wrong with the woman, but lets just leave it at the fact that she is anti-intellectual, nepotistic, arrogant, hypocritical and thankfully not going to have a chance to run for the senate in the immediate future as Ted Stevens lost.

Given that the right is doing very very well at supressing freedom in the United States you appear to have been rather bamboozled.

I seriously doubt Palin would run for the Senate - it would interfere too much with her brand image. There's more capital in staying as Governor. IIRC she turned down the chance to run for the Senate on a previous occassion anyway.
