McCain/Palin ???

[kuhio98]

Sorry folks, not much has impressed me about Palin. I still think she is a poor choice by McCain....and she is becoming less impressive as the days go on.....I wouldn't want her for my VP or Pres.

Doesn't make me right. Just my opinion.

I really admire and respect her, but I'm still scratching my head over this choice.

Earlier in this thread, I said it could be a good choice because we're always saying that we want new blood or an outsider that will go and shake up Washington and the good 'ole boy club.

But, I'm reminded of Jimmy Carter. Now, I was too young to vote in those days, but I remember being so excited about this nice guy going to Washington. Well (in my opinion) it was a disaster. He couldn't get Congress to pass most of his proposals. None of them owed him any favors (I guess). They wouldn't work with him and he didn't have "clout" on his side to make it happen.

In my opinion, his political experience (as Govenor of Georgia) was no help whatsoever. Maybe it would be different if the "outsider" is the VP, I dunno.

It seems that the years after the Presidency, have been his most productive and successful.

Like I said, I'm still scratching my head over this choice.

Seafood porn isn't too bad. The last DVD I bought cost me 15 clams.

LOL!

Back to the original topic though. I just heard that he only ever spoke to her once before the announcement the other day. Talk about a snap decision. I would have rather seen him give her a cabinet position if he felt he had to put her somewhere.

When the next 'unplanned pregnancy' pops up in a household 'near' yours, remember the disdain you have for this woman.


One size fits all.

Thank goodness! No more Brittany (or Brittany's sister) bashing then?

It is so delicious when the hypocrisy begins to flow!

[Pam]

If Palen becomes too much of a liability to McCain I think it is possible that we could see her resign from the ticket. George McGovern in 1972 selected a running mate (Thomas Eagleton) whom it was later found out had undergone electroshock therapy for depression and he dismissed himself from the ticket. So you see strange things have happened and could still happen.

[Edwina's Secretary]

Thank you Pam! My mother and I were having the same conversation and could NOT remember the names. I knew it was a guy from Missouri and the shock treatments....

Is it too late to call her???

[RICHARD]

Hypocritical?

Hmmm,
I remember when the United States used napalm and killed thousands of people in Iraq.

If you think hypocrisy is delicious, have a serving of humility and a sip of owing up to dumb statements.

Bon apppetit.

You're right...it is a few hundred of thousand by now! Thanks for catching that!

Sara, the US hasn't used napalm since Vietnam.

Napalm has killed no one in Iraq.

[Bonny]

The late Seduam (sp?) Insane used nerve gas to kill a bunch of innocent Kurdish people that live or did live in northern Iraq.

Sorry LH...I was being a smart aleck. I have no idea what R was talking about so I made a smart response.

I am sure I have been wrong about some things. I doubt...sorry I know...there is no one who gets into these passionate and political discussions who has not been wrong about some fact or other or maybe even a bunch of them. Again...including me. (and you)

But what I hope I have never been is a hypocrite. I hope I have not espoused one set of rules for one group of people and a different set of rules for another. Based on how I feel about those people.

I do not express my opinion on some rather personal things - even things about which I have very strong opinions. Those opinions are for my family. And my close friends.

But I cannot but help enjoy...when people who have been very vocal in judging all too human behavior find themselves on the other side now defending the same behavior.

I try very hard (and I am sure I do not always succeed!) not to get on a high horse about how others live their life. I do not care who someone sleeps with - if it is not me, my husband or a child - it is not my business to judge (okay...except for a little delicious gossip with my girlfriends!)

So when pontificators get tripped up...well sorry...it is a bit fun!

On a side note......


Would someone please explain to me how peace protests inevitably turn violent?

Hypocracy anyone?

I loved the peace protesters on Iceland.....

They came to our field site after breakfast, walked around with signs for about 2 hours, broke for a picnic lunch for 1 1/2-2 hours, then protested again for about 2 hours, and went home for dinner.

They even had pleasant chats with our gate guards.

Oh, IT's even funnier in GERMAN! I am going to have to buy the DVD.

I think the slogan should be, "I like money!" LOLOLOLOL

Thanks!


LH,

I don't want to be a smartarse here but...

Peace protesters....
ANti -War protesters.....

The ANti-War protesters come out dressed as peace protesters then ruin it for everyone.

Another reason that I laugh when I see the cops club the crap outta them.

Act stupid? Get your rear kicked.

GO POLICE.

Apperently this woman thinks she is the moral police, she must have a private pipe line to God.
We might as well all move to Iraq if this is the way the US is turning. Teaching creationism in school
That's just insane. What about freedom of religon, which also means freedom from religon. Will we be burned at the stake if we don't agree.
I think she should tell Ellen that Porta can't have healthcare.
This woman is a danger to our freedom, and for all who are gay, for all who can't afford to raise a child or don't want to.

Well what about those who don't believe in Evolution.

should THAT be taught?

Some people don't believe in it and there is no scientific PROOF that that's what happened. but THAT seems to be OK.

that seems to be OK with those who don't believe in any faith or religion yet it doesn't matter how it affects those who DP believe in faith or religion. there is no PROOF... DON'T teach it... PERIOD. Any mention of evolution could be JUST as offensive to the faint of heart as creationism.

I'm sick of the God hating just becasue some don't believe in it... but if families don't want evolution taught they are to go ELSEWHERE to learn.
