Question

Could the Far Left cost Obama the election with their attacks on Palin?

Answer 1

Who knows what goes through their small minds?

Nancy Pelozi doesn't even know that as a Catholic, abortion is uncool.

Obama is done - if you ask the average man on the street.

Vote for the HERO not the.....

Answer 2

We can only hope !!!

Democrats for McCain.

Answer 3

George Bush and Republican politics have given the Democratic party limitless ammunition against the Republican party. But guess what, the Democratic party decided to use that ammunition on each other, and now they are just shooting themselves in the foot.

The quality of Palin's motherhood is irrelevant to the politics of our country. I don't care what party you are, so long as she doesn't eat her children like a starving wolf, her motherhood DOESN'T MATTER. JFK was a horrible father and husband, but he policies were mostly positive.

As a Obama supporter, I don't think McCain is going to shake people mindset about Obama, I think fellow liberals have, and will continue to do so.  

Answer 4

Far left? Are you kidding?

There is no far left in the US - there is a right wing with people to the left part of that right wing. Know who McCarthy was? Know anything about US history?

And no they won't - this is Yahoo Answers and no one cares much what is said on here.

Answer 5

What makes you think that it's only the Far Left?  

Answer 6

They cost the 2000, 2004 elections for Gore and Kerry - so sure.

Its like watching a repeating train wreck. Thank you Daily Kos and Moveon.org!

Liberal morons abound...

Answer 7

Yep

McCain people are getting more fire up.

Christians are really going to come out of the woodwork because of the smear against a mother.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Jeesh, have you GOPers nothing better to do than to whine about how Palin is being treated? Don't you people ever have anything constructive to say?

Answer 10

Why is it automatically assumed to be an attack if you point out that her positions regarding keeping youngsters uninformed about sexual matters leads to unplanned premarital pregnancies?

I can't fail to reflect on her judgment, and that is a legitimate area of inquiry.

Reality is important if you want to deal with a countries problems, if you show an ability to blind yourself when presented with a problem that doesn't fit your religious beliefs, then at the very least, don''t have a desire to make it law.  That way you get to keep your beliefs, and I don't have to pretend that ignorance is bliss for teenagers.

One posters mentioning that a mother can't be criticized is amazing, surely the most vilified woman of the past ten years has been Hillary, and she is a mother.  Of a lovely young woman who did not wind up pregnant at seventeen.

Answer 11

Well, I guess if you want your children taught in school that "satan planted those fossils" than you may be right.

Answer 12

They will be largely responsible, but the candidate himself has flip flopped on many of the issues that put them in his corner to begin with. We could very well be witness to the "big get even".

Answer 13

Yes....

They attack Palin's husband for a 20 year old DUI, but have stopped mentioning Obama's cocaine use.

It is off limits to question Michelle about her patriotism, but it is OK to attack Palin's daughter for unplanned preganacy...

The double standard they promote will be their downfall...

Answer 14

Nobody's attacking her. The stupidity of the situation speaks for itself.

Answer 15

No more likely than the far right costing McCain the election with their outlandish attacks on Obama.  

The rumor mill is at work in every election.  In the end, most people just ignore it and vote with their party preferences.

Answer 16

sure they will

Answer 17

Obama is toast. And John McCain won this election, the day he was nominated. Sarah Palin is an added, and welcomed bonus.

Answer 18

If McCain had made a sane logical choice, no one would be "attacking" anyone. We could be discussing important issues like the economy and health care

Answer 19

Is Palin off limits to criticism?

Answer 20

Probably not. But they would be better off keeping their mouths shut and letting this situation play out a little bit more.  Palin is a bit of a loose cannon and may shoot herself in the foot.
