Politics and religion.

[Bonny]

Too late for that Bonny...."other idiot politicians already started on early campaigns"?

Tom Huntsman, Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty, Newt Gingrich, Michelle Bachmann, Rudy Guiliani, Herman Cain, Ron Paul, Rick Santorum...

Had three drop out already! Donald Trump, Mike Hukabee and Governor Daniels.

But of course, Ms. Palin isn't campaigning yet. She is just on a "family vacation" in a bus with her name in HUGE LETTERS on the side of it and Fox personalities (I refuse to call them reporters!) on the bus with her.

I guess she just wants to share her tremendous knowledge of US history with her daughter. Maybe she can get Ms. Bachmann to help her - all about the Revolutionary War starting in Concord New Hampshire.

What I find most amusing is these so called "patriots" who get positively orgasmic when they hear the words "founding fathers" don't have a clue about the history they profess to love.

Sounds like they all need to attend summer school & brush up on their history.

OK, so how DID it go down then? I'd love to read everyone's take on it.

Gosh Puck, I did not realize you too are not familiar with US history! I am sure your public library has lots of books you could check and use to brush up.

Then perhaps you could share them with Ms. Palin and Ms. Bachmann!

And it's Jon Huntsman (Jon Meade Huntsman, Jr), not Tom.

Sorry Grace! He is a bit of a newcomer. It will be interesting to see if he can get past the issue that he is a Republican who worked for Obama.

Liz - I have been following the issue in Indiana with Planned Parenthood and scartching my head. Why is it the same people who scream about woman on welfare having too many babies then turn around and scream about a NGO that offers low income women healthcare and contraceptives? I would think they would want contraceptives being handed out with food stamps.

Of course they also say the health services offered by Planned Parenthood are available at Walgreens. I have never thought of Walgreens as a good place to go for a Pap smear. Who knew??

Mr. Huntsman stated that he didn't work for Mr. Obama; he worked for the President of the United States.

When the President — any President — calls, he says, you answer.

I don't disagree. The question is whether the "base" can deal with it.

What is perceived as "baggage" will be big in this primary. Can Romney get past his support for gay marriage and medical coverage? Can Pawlenty explain his previous support of cap and trade. Will a change of heart be seen as "flip-flopping" or "seeing the light."

On the other hand - if a president whose foreign policy I passionately disagreed with asked me to serve as an ambassador, would it be the right thing to accept?

Lots of interesting questions this time...

Some of the images I get in my mind from comments that I read on this forum are absolutely hilarious. Thanks for the chuckle.

Awww Puck, what's the matter? ES didn't want to play your game huh?
LOL

[lizbud]

Indiana has become the first state to pass Legislation to cut funding
to the state Planned Parenthood offices. The Gov signed the bill over local
protests. The Feds responded by say Indiana's new law is unconstitutional
and will not stand. This is believed to be a "test case" for other states who
are thinking of doing the same thing Indiana did.

LOL Its like fishing in a barrell.

I get how this kind of thing works here, on Pet Talk and it is OK. No worries.

That said, i'm going to stand by my compliment. I really do think ES would make a fantastic politician.
