McCain/Palin ???

[Grace]

For donating money to a political campaign?


Errr... I plead the 5th.


I see it akin to paying the idiot tax. (AKA, the lottery.)

These are just my opinions of course.

FYI, I have never donated to any political party. Now my husband is a different matter. He is a regular supporter of the Libertarians.

Memo to Sarah Palin -

Jesus was a community organizer,
Pontius Pilate was a governor.

GHWB was referring to community organizers/workers in his Thousand Points of Light speech all those years.

Without community organizers, this country would be in much worse condition than it currently is.

[RICHARD]

Jesus was a community organizer,

And he got some scars to prove it.

I think that BO is a lawyer first. LOL, I tend to see politicians as homeless people. They sit around with their hands out, living in government subsidized homes and taking free meals from people who think they are helping them.
--------

LOL, I love the pomposity attached to a statement like that.


"I know, let's say we got 10 million dollars on one day".


"I LIKE MONEY" - Frito Pendejo/Idiocracy.

As my math teachers would say. Show your work. Politicos don't work, they panhandle.

In the years past I have sent Monopoly money to the candidates.


I have to sit down and write an I.O.U. to Obama. McCain will get my Monopoly money this time.

BO seems to know about redistribution of wealth, I don't think he'd know what to do with an I.O.U.
I guess he'd tear it up and give it out to people who don't have any I.O.U.'s


P.S. I like money.

Or "Flip Flop" it and think it was a grant to the U.O.I. (University of Illi-annoyed?)

JM might but another house or a hotel with the monopoly money?

Whose the Sekreteri of edukashun?
--------------------
AM,

I don't blame him, I'd go on a month long bender as soon as my term was over.

-----------

What does a community organizer do?

Make sure the houses are all in line?

The house numbers go in order?

Alphabetize the neighbor hood phone directory?

WHat does a senator do?
--------------
Some side notes.

Who does that Palin kid belong to? I think John Edwards
What was Cindy McCain wearing under her 30 gazillon dollar outfit?
I vote for bikinis and a nice lace pushup?
Was SP riding a snowmobile outside the marriage?
Why won't Oprah let SP on her show/
LOL, That shows her character. She has BO on her "tribute to all things Winfrey hour" But now she won't have any of the candidates on until after the election. I bet Omarosa Obama gets the call!
Betcha!
JB's war record is amazing!
Does jm talk slow or is it me?

Or "Flip Flop" it

I'm going to take this totally out of context because "flip flop" is one of my latest pet peeves - amongst many others (but I had to read/reply quickly because we're getting to our destination).

It's one of my pet peeves because he Republicans made such a big deal about it during the last electrion with Kerry, and they had already started on it in this election with Obama. Then I hear......at first Palin supported the "bridge to nowhere" but then "changed her position" and now she opposes it.

Why is it that when Republicans are speaking, Democrats "flip flop" and Republicans "change their position?"

I just don't understand why it has to be this way? Why can't everyone just realize that politicians - like everyone else in the world - can change their minds as they learn more about and issue/subject? Why must it be put in a negative light (when Democrats are involved) and be labeled as flip flopping instead of being heralded as "Hey, this man/lady must be intelligent. He/she looked into the details of the issue and realized the error of his/her ways?" (as it is when Republicans are involved).

Maybe if flip flopping hadn't been such an issue during the last elections, our fine sitting president (snicker) might not have been such a bull head......oh.....that's a topic for another conversation........

Oh, and when I first logged onto PT today this topic was the first listed in the Dog House section and after reading the title of the thread, why was I not surprised to see Edwina's Secretary as the last poster to the thread?

It's so good to hear from you again. Hope you're able to pop in
a little more often.

[RICHARD]

"changed her position"

But doesn't "honey, let's change position" sound far more romantic than "honey, let's flip flop" when you are dealing with politicians and who is in bed with them?

[AbbyMom]

GHWB was referring to community organizers/workers in his Thousand Points of Light speech all those years.

And here all this time I thought he was talking about "A thousand pints of Lite."


JUST KIDDING!!!

[Edwina's Secretary]

I think it is terribly sad...but terribly typical of the Cons to sneer at someone beginning their career in public service as as community organizer.

They say they don't like big government - but the government has grown bigger every time they are in office. They say they support community-based solutions yet belittle the experince gained there (as if being mayor of a town about the size of the high school I attended is impressive!)

Say one thing...do another...you were expecting something different from this group???

Any group

both sides of the coin are equally guilty of this kind of thing. it happens every election year.

Isn't that the truth!?

It really galls me when The Candidate "promises" to
"(fill in the lame promise)"

* Reduce Taxes
* Increase Programs
* Reduce Spending
* "GIVE" us anything
* and a dozen other hollow 'promises'

Do they REALLY Think that I 'buy' that stuff??

(On second thought, I guess I do *buy that stuff* ---
Every time I pay my Taxes!)



I wonder how may MILLIONS of votes "NONE of the Above"
would receive if that choice was offered on Election Day?

I know lol isn't it funny how all of those things contradict each other. Lower taxes but more programs, reduce spending but give us anything.

WAKE UP PEOPLE... it CAN'T be both lol Nothing is free... it all has to be paid for somehow lol

Technically, We rent, We pay for it every year?
