Politics and religion.

Hate sells better than hope for a better,brighter America.

Liz, I didn't hear any hate. I heard criticism and sarcasm but that is not hate. I also heard lots of criticism at the Democratic convention directed at the Republicans (What else is new? That's what both sides do at conventions. ) I think that since I am more "on the fence" with this election I am able to view things with less bias and am paying careful attention to exactly what they are really saying.

Caseysmom, her voice reminded me very much of Sally Field. I think if I closed my eyes I might have thought that Gidget was delivering the speech.

I really enjoyed Huckabee's speech, why isn't he running?

He did run but they picked McCane.

[Pam]

He did run but they picked McCane.

Yes, at the beginning of his speech last night he said that he was happy to be able to speak at the convention but had hoped he would be giving an acceptance speech tomorrow night (meaning tonight).

[caseysmom]

I know he was in the primaries I am just wondering how McCain beat him.

[sparks19]

I know he was in the primaries I am just wondering how McCain beat him.

He made some comment about how they should change the constitution to be more like the bible. and that turned just about everyone off.

[caseysmom]

Yes reading about him now he is a bit too for mixing religion into government for me but I enjoyed his speech.

I really enjoyed Huckabee's speech, why isn't he running?

He committed political suicide. He said he would want to amend the Constitution so that it, "looks like the Bible".

Did anyone see the Code Pink protestors that were carted out of the convention during McCain's speech?

One of the local radio stations, KABC-AM 790 Lost Angeles were covering the convention. One of the broadcast team was talking to two women who stopped him to ask about him bracelet. He stood in the aisle, chatting to them for a while, when a protestor began to scream at McCain.

Doug McIntyre, the host of the show, was crouching next to a wall near the woman who started the ruckus, when one of the security guards jumped over the wall and kicked McIntyre in the head while trying to get to her.

She was escorted out, along with the two other women who had stopped to chat with the 'bracelet guy'. A few minutes later the security detail came back and tried to throw him out! They thought, because he was talking to the women, that he was part of the group trying to disrupt the gathering.

He was able to show some I.D. and was allowed to go back inside.
It was funny radio and they were joking about it....Just as I said before-I don't care for stupid protestors and their causes, especially when they act stupid. They always cause problems and innocent people get caught up in their BS.

DUDE!

I can't remember who said this about SP....A woman was breaking down SP's nomination and made a comment that I have only heard women use when they speak 'off the cuff'. It has to do with a woman's sect-shul orientation.
I had to stop and think about what she said-It was a reference to her having to be "strictly-d***ly" now that she was playing with the boys.

Some of the comments made my the media are really funny and show how personal opinions are allowed to tint the news/talk arena.

This is a question that combines sex with politics-
It's about women and how they react to other women., how men get funny when they support other men and some answers that would be interesting to hear.

Women fight all the time about equal rights, pay, glass ceilings and job opportunties.

So why all the cattiness about SP's voice, her background, her eyes and family? Sometimes I think that the world needs more women in leader positions all across the planet, but you sabotage your own sister's chances.

Politics is a funny game. You have men that curse the other men-the Left and Dems that hate Bush, but profess this weird, almost homo-erotic love for all things and men that aren't Bush. (was that a pun?)

I guess I can see why women get all goofy-nasty about other women, But why do you allow the AH men the privilege to keep the 'girls' down and out? You fight to keep you rears from getting pinched by men in private, but have nothing to say about how they are "groping" and disrespecting a woman politician in public?

I have no problem saying that I like Palin and would follow her anywhere-I saw her jogging in a pair of black leggings-she's a PILF! LOLOLOLOL!

I am tired of the male politicians who treat me as a CILF.

P=politician, C=citizen.

LOL, I love women that pin their hair up, It's fun to imagine what it would look like after a "romp". These are the same ideas that people bring to the table about BO, He talks good!, He's a rock star! He's a snappy dresser! Wow

Because my comments about SP that have nothing to do with politics you may think that it's a typical male reaction, thinking about women with my nether regions. You are correct. I get the stupid jealous feelings when I hear women go on about George Clooney, you'll never meet Clooney, I'm tall, fairly handsome and women are not going to bother us when we go out in public.

Hey,
If you want to see someone fail, give them the job and watch them crash and burn. Make them earn your disdain. I want a women to get to the second highest office in the world.

Why? CHANGE!

SP is the GOP's answer to the Dem's BO. You can't crumb on either- you are a racist or a misogynist if you do. Both sides will protect their candidates and tout the uniqueness of their backgrounds. If you think that one isn't at home to raise thieir kids, what about the other? What is the difference between a woman who goes out to whore themselves for public office without her kids?
What about BO and family values? Why does he get a pass when he whores for office? Oh, the man is the PIMP!

Politicians kids are a hoot anyways, Gore's son, Amy Carter, the Bush Gone Wild duo-that is huge pun waiting to happen-were all kids that slipped a little because dad wasn't home or didn't give them enough love?

I am for a woman to have a turn at the dirty world of politics. Women worshipped at the knees of Bill Clinton, It's time for men to get an opportunity at the foot of a woman......


THAT WAS A PUN!!!!!!

Don't tell me that you've actually bought into the "sisterhood" thing!?

[caseysmom]

Richard, Whats all the cattiness about BO's lapel pen and such, what about the brotherhood? I was stooping to your level just for kicks

I wear my flag on my sleeve and in my heart, I expect no less from some stupid 'brother'.

A well though out politician would have covered all the bases. I would expect him to lie to me about every little detail.

Stoop?
IDK, just as long as you don't get suckered into genuflecting at the foot of some dopey politician, you can do anything you want.

So you think women are so sheep-like they should support a woman BECAUSE she is a woman.

Do I not remember you fussing (as best I could understand it) about blacks supporting Obama just because he is black?

But women should support Palin just because she is a woman?

In my career I have stood up a few times against putting a woman (including me) in a position because of gender. When a woman fails it is all to easy for people to say..."See? I told you a woman couldn't do it!" And it makes it that much harder for the next woman. People should get positions because they are the best qualified.

I too would like to see a woman as president of the United States - or even vice-president. However, not just any woman. And not Ms. Palin.

Apparently so. He's also not alone in thinking that way. It's
really sad isn't it?
