    Ooooh, Palin. Maybe teaching sex-ed would have been a good idea

    I'm sure you all heard, but if not...

    Zillions of Dollars?

    Does it make sense to spend Zillions of dollars of the tax payers money State & Federal to make the same mistakes over & over? That is what New Orleans is about zillions of dollars wasted! Lack of Common Sense!

    Wars! They will never stop as long as there are humans.

    Oh silly me!!!! Of course not. What a lack of understanding of common sense I must have!! If the taxpayer's money is used for a project such as this, then how will the government ever be able to continue to pay $800 for a toilet seat, $500 for a coffee maker, $400 for a monkey wrench, $100 for a hammer, etc, etc etc. And don't forget all the money that is given for grants to study such important issues as the "love life of an East Siberian clam" for example.

    I'm still not impressed with Palin

    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.

    --------------

    Here's the deal.

    We have to pay attention to the hacks who govern at local levels first.

    The moron who is the mayor in Lost Angeles has many stupid pet projects, he also let the last two school heads run the school district into the ground.

    I don't have kids, so why should I care about the schools?

    It ticks me off when I see AHs like Antonio Villaraigosa get into office by talking a good game and using the fact that he is a Mexican to persuade the idiots to put him into office. That SOB is out of office next and I'll make sure that I'll vote for anyone who runs against him. (taking notes Barack?)

    Not my first choice for El Jefe de El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles de la Porciúncula (The Village of Our Lady, the Queen of the Angels of Porziuncola), but he's in charge, until the next bobo comes in.

    Think globally, elect locally.

    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.

    Oh please.

    If I ever have a child I will have their genitals sewn up.
    How many kids have their parents hammer the idea of waiting for their marriage to have sex? Is she the only woman who's daughter got knocked up when the parents were promoting abstinence?

    I have to laugh at these stories-tell me a family who hasn't run into those problems? How many of my friends have kids who got knocked up before they were married, were underage?

    I have a niece who got preggers while she wasn't married and in school.

    Does that make my brother a bad parent?

    MY mom has a saying that fit this scenario-
    Who cares what anyone does, as long as they do not use my arse to do it!

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


    One size fits all.

    ----------


    Palin also smoked pot and was photographed in a t-shirt that said, "I may be broke, but I am not flat busted".

    She partied and has breasts.

    Again, she's probably more qualified that some women who are tee-totalers and flat chested?


    -------

    Bonny,
    Humans will never stop because there are wars.
    The secret of life is nothing at all

    Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all -
    Together we stand
    Divided we fall.

    I laugh, therefore? I am.

    No humans were hurt during the posting of this message.

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

    It is so delicious when the hypocrisy begins to flow!

    Anyone remember Thomas Eagleton?

    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.

  11. 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???

    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.

    Well, it does happen. In the article I read Palin stressed that her daughter & boy friend were getting married & keeping the baby. I wonder if that's her
    idea or the girl & her boyfriends? Oh well, I wish them the best.
