All I see is a bunch of ladies complaining because she's pretty.

Where do you see this? On your t.v? "Cause it sure isn't on here!

Where do you see this? On your t.v? "Cause it sure isn't on here!

Since this afternoon I have seen it everywhere. IN articles, on forums, people I talk to. No one can resist bringing up "but she is beauty pageant winner" or "He just picked her because she's pretty"

Insecurity?

Wow! I hadn't heard or read anyone except RICHARD (and I am rather sure is is no lady!) refer to her looks. She was in a beauty pageant??? Hadn't heard that.

What I have heard/read discussed is her qualifications.

We must listen/read different things.

[sparks19]

and I'm sorry that we aren't part of all the same forums... perhaps I should only read the forums you do. because I am obviously looking for ONLY articles and opinions that include her looks that must be the case

Giselle made special mention of her being in a beauty pageant... what that has to do with her qualifications I don't know.

I have read about her quite a bit before she was actually chosen for McCain's running mate and it was all very interesting.

Since her "nomination" for VP every article I have read, every forum I have read, just about everyone I have talked to has made mention of her looks, her BP win, and how young she is and have basically said that McCain only chose her because she is pretty.

Perhaps Neither of us are reading or listening to enough "different things"

Somebody is not paying attention.

More true words have never been spoken.


Wait, you 'ignored' me, right?

The truth is a Mfer, eh?

[Edwina's Secretary]

Gerald Ford was a fashion model...
Harry Truman was a failed haberdasher...
Lyndon Johnson was a school teacher...
Ronald Reagan was president of his trade union...
George Bush was a college cheerleader...
John McCain was a POW...

All facts we know that have nothing to do with ability to be president.

Women don't get a special pass not to have their history known.

I looked for where Giselle made special mention of Ms. Palin history as a contestant in a beauty contest but I don't see where she made special mention. It was in a list with other items about her.

I have read the newspapers and I have yet to see anyone say this one element of her history does or does not qualify her for the position of vice-president.

And I sure haven't seen...

a bunch of ladies complaining because she's pretty

[sparks19]

Yes... it was in a list that was made to point out why she is not a good candidate. What winning a beauty pageant has to do with that I don't know.

No. It was not a list to point out why she is not a good candidate. It was part of a list describing who she is....

Palin:
- 44 year old mom
- won Miss Wasilla beauty pageant
- majored in journalism; was a sports reporter
- rose from mayor to governor in the past 8 years

Whining should at least be done accurately!

[RICHARD]

That was the first speech that I have sat thru in a while.


IT ROCKED.


But, I was tuned into MSNBC and couldn't figure out their obsession on showing the daughter that is preggers.

I am sure Keith Olberman was salivating and that gal that looks like a matchstick- She's the one that looks like she's a 'puppy voter/closet BO admirer"- Andrea Mitchell couldn't wait to tear her down...


The absolute best part of the speech was her daughter, the youngest one, that stood and waved to the crowd.

[RICHARD]

It is true-the NRA and hunter's groups are more responsible for keeping up ecosystems and hunting grounds because with out those areas that are protected by hunting seasons and limits there will be no more hunting or fishing.

The WWE, Greenpeace and other enviro 'mentalists' want to protect native species. Great, so what do they do? They force areas to be cut off from hunting and fishing. It forces animals into areas where they multiply, reproduce and graze/eat/strip the areas that they are confined to.

Birth rates and the size of the animals shrink because the eat them selves out of resources. It's natural animal birth control.

I don't hunt and have tried fishing, The thought of either makes me glad that I don't have to do it for food! I don't have a problem with sticker/stamp hunting as LONG AS YOU EAT WHAT YOU KILL, because this is such a foreign idea for most of us, we look at moose meat stew from the animal killed in some kind of horror. I try not to think of the chicken I scarfed down the other day. Did you see the video of the cows they used the taser on at the meat packing plant in CA, I could not watch that! In Fillmore, just to the north of Lost Angeles there is/was a place called Egg City. They did a info piece about the scads of "chikins" that lived there. As egg producers and food for us. It makes you think about what we eat and how we could never survive should we have to do it.

It's a matter of perspective.

PS31,

Great post about the 'free range' food. Living in Cah Lee Fuh Nee Ah there is something laughably stupid about seeing the woman with silicone buildup, Nike shoes, huge fur jacket, a bluetooth ear set asking the butcher about free range chicken.......she did pull out of the driveway in a HUMMER!

Change?

A straight shooting (pun intended) Unknown from the state of Alaska? Why not?

OR do we leave it to a mumbling lawyer who can't figure out hate speech in a sermon? His wife that was misquoted because she has been proud of being an American at least once in her life?

A senator who I don't know much about and the other old guy that got shot out of a perfectly good airplane and didn't have the common sense to secure his way out of the Hanoi Hilton when he had the chance? His wife, a millionaire and former drunk who owns a brewery? Somehow, I like the chances of the 'real' people on the ballot.

I'd like to see the old guy and the gal get the industrial sized can o'whoop arse
opened and ready.

It's on baby, it's on!

Is hunting and eating your kill really just killing for sport? LOL

Hubby is going Dove hunting on Monday... and it will be a delicious meal and not subject to living in a cage or going through a slaughter house.

Hey... a successful deer hunting seasons means we don't need to eat any slaughterhouse Beef.

We do more to help the environment than the hippies could ever dream of. LOL

LONG AS YOU EAT WHAT YOU KILL,

Always have... ALWAYS will. You will NEVER seer anthing other than antlers in this house. The rest will be in the freezer. LOL

It's on baby, it's on!

Aww yeah.... Can't wait to watch the libs scream. LOL
