Quanto aos artigos da Bomba Inteligente na Tabu de sábado, tenho de discordar com o apoio a Sarah Palin. Não quero saber de género, se é homem ou mulher, ela é uma pessoa idiota! É uma pessoa incompetente e até acho um atentado às mulheres, aquela mulher representá-las em algo. Já tenho de concordar que o apoio de Colin Powell a Barack Obama é fulcral, ainda mais porque é republica, militar e amigo de MaCain há 25 anos. Sempre gostei de Powell, porque o considero um homem ponderado, e só tenho de ficar contente com o apoio inequívoco.
Assim vai o mundo...

Sarah Palin an idiot? What are you smoking? At least Sarah Palin knows how many states there are in the union where Obama claimed to have visited 57 states in a campaign event in Beaverton, OR. Palin also doesn’t tell lies like Obama did when he falsely claimed that his father fought in WW2 at the NALEO Confrence. (His father is from Kenya, and not America) Oh, and how can I forget, he also lied about his uncle
Helped liberate the Jewish concentration camp, Auschwitz in a speech he made in New Mexico. The Russians did that. But most importantly, Sarah Palin isn’t going around telling MTV that Iran should go ahead and make a nuclear weapon and then 2 days later change his position. You should get your facts right about Sarah Palin before you start calling someone an idiot.
Dear republican anonymous, here is the list of Palin's idiotic affirmations:
1. Policy on Pakistan
Days after John McCain criticized Barack Obama for announcing that he would strike terrorist targets in Pakistan, Palin told a customer in a Philadelphia restaurant on Sept. 27 the very same thing.
"If that's what we have to do to stop the terrorists from coming any further in, absolutely, we should," she said.
McCain later said on ABC's "This Week" that Palin's gaffe was not an official policy statement. "She was in a conversation with some young man," he said. "She understands and has stated repeatedly that we're not going to do anything except in America's national security interest and we are not going to, quote, announce it ahead of time."
2. The Bush Doctrine
Asked by ABC's Charlie Gibson to define the Bush Doctrine during a Sept. 11 interview, Palin appeared unsure of what he meant, and called it the president's "world view," his attempt to "rid this world of Islamic extremism." Gibson then lectured her "like an impatient teacher," according to the New York Times, identifying the doctrine as the belief that America has a right to anticipatory self-defense.
But the Bush Doctrine refers to a set of foreign policy positions enunciated by the president in the years since he took office: taking a unilateral approach to international treaties, regarding nations as either "with us or with the terrorists," claiming the right to make preemptive war and making democracy-promotion America's first mission abroad.
Charles Krauthammer, the columnist who created the term, wrote that "Sarah Palin didn't know what it is. But neither does Charlie Gibson."
3. Russia: Visible From Alaska
During a discussion of foreign affairs and America's relationship with former nemesis Russia, ABC's Charlie Gibson asked how Alaska's proximity to Russia gave her foreign policy insight.
"They're our next door neighbors and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska," Palin said.
Though Alaska has trade relations with neighbor Russia, Palin has played no part in negotiating them as governor.
4. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
During a campaign stop in Colorado Springs on Sept. 6, Gov. Palin said that mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac had "gotten too big and too expensive to the taxpayers," and that a McCain-Palin administration "will make them smaller and smarter and more effective for homeowners who need help."
Yet when she made that comment, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were not receiving any taxpayer money. The next day the Bush Administration announced they were taking over the failing companies to help prevent a financial meltdown.
5. Bridge to Nowhere
On Aug. 29, in her first speech after being picked as John McCain's running mate, Palin said she told Congress "'thanks but no thanks' on that Bridge to Nowhere," adding, "'If our state wanted a bridge,' I said, 'we'd build it ourselves.'"
Congress approved a $223 million earmark in 2005 to build a bridge between the Alaska mainland and an island with a population of 50, sparking debate on what was, and wasn't, a waste of taxpayer money.
But before she was against the infamous "bridge to nowhere," Palin was for it.
She said during her gubernatorial run that she would continue state funding for the bridge. "The window is now while our congressional delegation is in a strong position to assist," she said, according to the Anchorage Daily News. The earmark was withdrawn in 2006, before she entered office.
6. What Does the VP Do Anyway?
In an interview with CNBC in July -- before she was the Republican vice presidential nominee -- Palin criticized the No. 2 slot, implying it was fruitless and useless.
"As for that VP talk all the time, I'll tell you, I still can't answer that question until somebody answers for me what is it exactly that the VP does every day? I'm used to being very productive and working real hard in an administration," she said.
"We want to make sure that that VP slot would be a fruitful type of position, especially for Alaskans and for the things that we're trying to accomplish up here for the rest of the U.S., before I can even start addressing that question."
Well, vote on Palin if you want, but for me, she is ignorant (idiot comes from the greek idiotes, person without knowledge).
I honestly should do other things than debate your points. However, I do love politics and the republican party - so here I am.
For every point you made, I can in turn make a counterpoint with Obama's gaffes.
Instead I will focus on the bigger picture and the fate of America's future.
Before I go on and forget, your English is good.
America has two camps. One for smaller government and one for larger government. It has come to the decision of the American people to decide which road America is to take Nov. 4th.
I am from the camp that believes in a limited government and free market economics. I think of the government like a black hole in space sucking everything in. We can never give enough money to the government. History and other governments prove that too many social programs hinder the growth of the middle class.
The middle class in my opinion is what helps a nation grow in various ways. e.g. technology, economy, etc. etc. government programs help the lower class, and who doesn't want better roads, security, schools? We all do, but too many social programs hurts the upper/middle class through taxes to pay for all those social programs. And those are the ones that provide jobs!
Taxes are what kills economies. It retards growth in many sectors of society.
I predict that Obama will win this election and it is unfortunate that McCain is not as charasmatic and sophisicated as Obama, but if one were to get past all the hype, smiles, and rhetoric, one could do the math and see what big government will do.
Now of course, if one wants big government, then Obama is perfect for them. I just dont want america become Portugal.
First, I should say that we started to discuss Sarah Palin, not McCain! I actually like McCain, and I am happy that he is the republican candidate. Of course, I can't forget that the same republicans that today support McCain trashed him in 2000. If he had won then, maybe the world was not in such a bad shape. Because, that is one thing that the americans can't forget: you are an active player in the world stage! You had a 9/11 but the world has seen many more terrorist atacks! Portugal has eight centuries of history as a country and more than two thousands years as a territory. We have seen the rise and fall of many nations and superpowers. Since the Romans until now. We still exist. We discover half the world, and Columbus was born in Portugal. We had colonies in the five continents and you can find a portuguese in almost every corner of the world. So we have a global point of view! We know where Iraq is, as we know where China is, and contrary to Mrs Palin, we know where Russia is. We are part of the Old Europe, as Mr Bush put it, but we are proud of that. The EU economy is stronger than the american one, so we can see the downfall of the States without the fear of vanishing. But we, the United States of Europe, are waiting that after eight terrible years, the american people can choose a person that listen to the rest of the world. I know Economy as well as you, it was my formation as well as politics, and know that McCain is more a free trader than Obama. I know that Economics is an important issue right now! But, like Obama said, you don't need to show examples of your power, but the power of your example. You are a wonderful country, with a wonderful people! You showed how you are a tremendous democracy, when you chose Bush altough the World would chose Gore (Kerry was a weaker candidate). But the world will dislike another choice against the world! You can choose McCain for the best interest of the US, but it will not be the best interest of the world. The US are now the leaders of the free world, but you know what happens when the world doesn't like the decisions of the leader? They change it. And the world starting to like more Russia or China is the the start of the path to another world war.
There will be no victory for you in Iraq, because you can't understand the mindframe of the arabs! You can't! You are a country with 250 years old, trying to reason a people with more than two milleniums...
I know that the majority (about 90%) of the americans will vote not having in mind the global importance of the election! I know that some are more concerned in voting on the paralel elections, but some know that they are voting in one of the most important persons in the World. Clinton had many flaws but knew the importance of foreign affairs! I was not always a supporter of his ideas (in the war of the Balcans or in Afeghanistan), but at least it seemed he had an idea of the subjects.
Sarah Palin was an absolut stranger until two months ago! She doesn't know a thing about the world (seh didn't have a clue what was the Bush doctrine), and that can be dangerous!
For closure, America is going to vote! You will vote in conscience. The decision will be respected. But no doubt the world will have two different attitudes if McCain or Obama win.
I don't know the gender, but an hug from Portugal to the US...
