Look at that headline. This freaking country is like Soviet Russia more and more each day.
ST. PAUL, Minn. — Alaska delegates to the Republican National Convention got a strong message this week from Republican officials as the media swarm kept bugging them about Gov. Sarah Palin: "STAY POSITIVE when talking with reporters."
The one-page "Republican National Convention Talking Points" sheet provided to them added: "No one is better suited to deal with the largest issue on voters minds: Energy." If reporters asked about indicted Sen. Ted Stevens, it advised the delegates: "As long as he does not receive jail time, he is legally capable of serving."

Despite the fact that the Republicans met in Minnesota to nominate John McCain for president, there was more discipline than straight talk at their convention. Day after day, it was hard to find anyone who wasn't offering the same lines, and as delegates and officials headed home Friday, they were confident that they could answer any question about Palin or anything else quickly and cogently.
The message effort proceeded on several fronts. Party officials participated in daily conference calls with top Republicans and discussed the "line of the day," usually how to discuss energy, McCain's record, the economy or national security. Surrogates then talked to the news media and delegate meetings.
On the convention floor, the national party on Monday gave all delegates blue pocket cards listing party principles, with quick responses to constituent and media questions.

Too many in the GOP have become what twisted them. For so long they fought against communists, that they have now adopted communist thought-control techniques. No-one can stray from the "party" line and discipline is enforced with security carrying anyone who strays right out of the Convention. I thought we defeated the iron curtain, but apparently too many in the GOP spent too much time studying them-- and adopted their worst tactics and are now using those against us.
It is long since time to send MOST of these lock-stepping GOP HOME to contemplate their navels in the wilderness and rediscover our values of Freedom of Speech-- and to elect Barack Obama as our next President.
I wish we could have the election tomorrow, and inaugurate Senator Obama on Monday!
