You will never hear me say I hate Palin. I dislike her politics, and that's enough for me. People who are irrationally embittered by politics don't impress me regardless of what party they vote for, and Americans who have a seething hatred for 50% of the population are not, in my opinion, smart or wise people, and certainly not patriotic.Quote:

This seems like a good course of action? It all just becomes a chicken-or-the-egg argument... and the point is, you are still hating.Quote:

Eh...everyone's a critic. I have problems with people that will vote for anyone just on the basis of the words they say....or a candidate nominated by a party just because it's their party. I don't consider that wise at all.Quote:

This seems to me to be very bad reasoning. That's why I used the Beatles/James Brown analogy-- they both appeal to experts on music and to lots of dim-witted people too, but it wouldn't make sense to say that you know of a lot of bad people in jail who like James Brown and therefore that proves that his music is bad... that reasoning doesn't make sense. Suffice to say there are plenty of people rooting for McCain and Obama for the wrong reasons, for reasons that those two candidates themselves wouldn't even agree with...
My question is where the fuck is Biden hiding? All of the press has been about the airhead and I think its a mistake on Obamas part, I can't recall a single vid/soundbyte featuring Biden since the Princess was unleashed. I must say she is definitely a Milf soon to be a Gilf or Grilf.
What the hell is a Grilf?Quote:

This thread is all kinds of hilarity. It's like watching a wounded dog nip at its own hind legs.
Sarah Palin isn't ruining my life. She'll be the answer to a trivia question on November 5th, and whot knows it.

Here's what Sarah Palin represents: being a fat fucking pig who pins "Country First" buttons on his man titties and chants "U-S-A! U-S-A!" at the top of his lungs while his kids live off credit cards and Saudis buy up all the mortgages in Kansas
The letter writer should post here. That would relieve some of her stress I bet. Is there any way to get her a link to ST.com.
She's brought some good laughs to my life.
lmao He's been dropping gaffe after gaffe but that's just Joe.Quote:

My analysis as a woman- McCain thought that choosing Palin would help him to snag some of the female Democratic and independent vote- the Hillary supporters- but that only works to one extent. The women who are so tied up in the notion of proving a woman can do something- those who will vote for ANY woman will be drawn to that ticket. But the gold is not in those women- the gold in recent Presidential elections is the soccer moms. Now some thought Palin would appeal to them- like she was one of them- the hockey mom- but I do not think that it has worked. Her demeanor at the convention and McCain's in the debate has turned these women off. These women will go for Obama and he will win because of it, if for no other reason than a feeling that he cares about them, their families, and their kids. I also told you guys before- the PTA soccer moms are the most backstabbing bunch and some of them will enjoy taking Palin down. Seriously. Women are their own worst enemies and seeing another one fail somehow makes them feel better about their miserable selves.
The article is an example of satire.
Analyzing it as if it were a sincere work doesn't make sense. It's like watching Bugs Bunny and then coming to the conclusion that rabbits are wittier and more verbally sophisticated than most humans.
I thought it was pretty funny myself. But since it mentioned Palin you'll have to excuse your fellow Dems for the meltdown.Quote:

So they are promoting voting for ANY woman on the ticket regardless of party affiliation.Quote:

Real question is how many PUMAs are out there. The dems and media don't want to talk about them. And many are pretending to be Obama supporters according to their posts on various PUMA blogs.
