McCain/Palin ???

[Bonny]

Slinging Mud! Watch Out! I think they will need an equal amount of Republicans & Democrats to stick their fingers in the levees. Maybe this time the hurricane will wash New Orleans out to sea. Humans are so dumb! Lets rebuild so we can get swamped & lose everything so we can start all over again. Dah! Head for high ground & build there. I don't feel sorry for anyone that can't learn the first time around.

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.

Here are some positions Ms. Palin has taken:

- opposes abortion even in cases of rape or incest
- sued the federal government to have polar bears taken off the endangered species list
- has said creationism should be taught in schools
- advocated a constitutional ban on providing healthcare benefits to same -sex partners

[Lady's Human]

Gov Palin on teaching Creationism in schools:

In an interview Thursday, Palin said she meant only to say that discussion of alternative views should be allowed to arise in Alaska classrooms:

"I don't think there should be a prohibition against debate if it comes up in class. It doesn't have to be part of the curriculum."

She added that, if elected, she would not push the state Board of Education to add such creation-based alternatives to the state's required curriculum.

Members of the state school board, which sets minimum requirements, are appointed by the governor and confirmed by the Legislature.

"I won't have religion as a litmus test, or anybody's personal opinion on evolution or creationism," Palin said.

Polar Bears have been discussed in another thread, the Polar Bear population is at it's highest point since record keeping began, yet they are still listed as endangered?

Doesn't make sense, and she was right to do what she did, IMHO.


Constitutional ban on benefits to same sex partners?

Yes, but as Governor vetoed a bill which would have denied those benefits as unconstitutional. In other words, a constructionist view of the Constitution.

I loved the way Nagin spoke down to the citizen's, "get your butts out"????

I love the way this guy talks.

I'm changing my vote now to:

Camacho/Nagin

This was a rather flip comment to make. Would you think the same way if New Orleans had been your home for your entire life, and everything and everyone that meant anything to you was firmly rooted there???
And as far as not learning the first time around??? - how many wars have we been involved in?
But then - this being a Democracy - I suppose you're entitled to your opinion and your freedom to say what you think. Afterall - those wars helped you retain that freedom!

About the polar bears and related "protected species"-

Eviro-mentalists always want to protect a species by cordoning off the areas where those animals/plants/ecosystems exist.

At times closing off those places can hurt the things that people try to protect.

Take you neighborhood and put up a fence in a radius of one mile. Nothing comes in or out. When you start to get hungry make do with what is in the area. Soon you'll see that it cannot be done.

The largest animals will take over, for a while. Because they are top o' the food chain they will dominate until the smaller prey are eliminated. Birth rates go up -no one to keep their numbers in check- until the land cannot support them. Nature reverses course, birth rates go down as well as the size of the larger animals. They die off because of lack of food, then the smaller animals-who were not part of the happy meals, start to overpopulate-and what does that do?


IT tosses the whole ball of wax out of kilter and defeats the reasons we wanted those areas kept pristine.

--------

IT's the same arguement about what is taught in school.

We only teach what WE want to the kids. THe biggest farce are the hot heads who think that a 'little god' in the curriculum will ruin the planet.
So what? The kids that have a problem with it are the same ones that are brought up to be intolerant slugs by their parents.

The same unyielding AHs who will take the country to task about the words "In God We Trust" on our currency. Again, IF IT BOTHERS YOU DON'T USE IT, write checks or go find a country where the bills have 8 zeroes after the ones!

Parents try to protect their kids from god in the classroom and our bills and coins but have no problems with a cable box with porn channels in their bedrooms, never bother to find out that biatches hoes and G's live inside their iPods and mp3s and that kids are having more sex and less babies because we have to give them classes on birth control!


We all want freedom of mind and speech until we hear an opposing view, then we shout that person down, exercising our right-and stomping the living crap out of theirs - to have an opinion.

IT really is time to get over our bad selves.

There are times I do wish we lived in China, Venezuela or Cuba. That way we would only have a few opinions and we wouldn't waste our time on stupid arguements like Bears, pregnancy and god.


Oh about Ellen and PORTIA, They can afford the best healthcare possible-
It's the poor gay couple that can't hire nannies, fly first class or live in houses that are worth more than the GNP of some nations, that need help.

That's another fallacy we have.
The F.N. morons like Bruce Springsteen, Madonna, Neil Young and Michael Moore can bash the U.S. and it's policies, but when we take them to task for what they say WE CAN'T USE OUR FREEDOM OF SPEECH.


IT's oh-so-easy to abhor another person's beliefs or a government's stand on things until we look a little farther into our own world. Then we start making excuses.

RTCC,

I love that ticket. Can we keep the cabinet the same?

Are you talking about the wall McC wants to put up on the border again?

[Giselle]

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

I agree with you. That was an extremely insensitive thing to say. Should all of the people in California just relocate too due to the earthquake potential? Easier said than done. Until you have walked a mile in someone else's shoes.....

These people deserve our prayers.

[Bonny]

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 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.

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.

[sasvermont]

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.

[RICHARD]

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.

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.
