McCain/Palin ???

[momoffuzzyfaces]

LOL

Sarah Palin is by no means perfect. But she IS WAY outside the beltway. She is, IMHO, the only 'change' available right now.

Sad in a way.... But we have to start somewhere.

Yea, but unless the President croaks, the VP doesn't seem to do much to influence things.

True enough... But it does groom her for bigger things AND lets us she if she can stick to her guns when the heat gets turned on.

Its one thing to fight the tide as a Govenor. But fighting the tsunami that is DC politics is a beast all its own.

I want to see what happens the first time McCain wants to do something that she disagrees with. We , of course, would not see that unless McCain gets elected.

Looks like Ms. Palin is not so macha afterall!

First, her handlers won't let her talk to the press until she is treated with deference!! Why oh why should she be treated with deference??? Too dainty for hardball?

And then...Obama describes McCain's economic plan using the very same phrase McCain used to describe Hillary's medical plan and Ms. Palin's feelings are hurt????

The phrase by the way is..."Like putting lipstick on a pig."

What a delicate, fragile and sensitive thing she is!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Funny how they seldom show the rest of that speech. He went on to say you can wrap a fish in newspaper and it will still stink in a few days. Maybe he was calling her a stinky fish, not a pig!

McCain really is slipping. He used the same expression in reference to Hillary's health care plan.

Mc cain & Co. are trying their best to keep people's minds off of the real
issues this country faces. They only offer 4 more years of the same old
crap we have had for the last 8 yrs with Bush & Co. They will use any tactic,
even making up controversies where non exist.

And of course Obama didn't seize the opportunity when she mentioned lipstick in her speech the other night? Honestly, when i heard that on the news I thought "How childish!" I would really like to see some "grown up" things being said in these ads and sound bites instead of insults for the sake of insulting. If Hillary had been Obama's running mate and McCain had said such a thing do you think Obama would not have been enraged?

I think this is my last Dog House post. My daughter told me on Sunday that it is a waste of time to post here and she is correct. Peoples' minds are made up. Sayonarra! (sp?)

I heard the lipstick comment out of context but it seemed pretty tacky to me and I was disappointed.

Food for thought. Pay attention to the very end.

Or try this...

Funny how Charile Gibson can honestly put his name to that interview,

Try for a transcript of the WHOLE interview and see how much ABC left out.

And that's why I bowed out and went back to my old conviction - don't talk politics or religion! It just pi$$es people off and since sometimes people tend to have "selective reading", what you say can get twisted out of context!

ditto -
I read this thread to try to ed-u-cate myself and all that it has turned into is a pi$$ing contest against some people that I'm quite fond of. (members here) I shouldn't be surprised tho.

Sayanarra Dog House. It will be awhile before I'm back.

I hope you will stick around Pam long enough to read this. You see...McCain DID use that very same phrase in reference to Hillary. Not once, but a few times. In reference to Hillary's health care plan.

Where I come..the expression "to put lipstick on a pig and it will still look like a pig" is a very common expression!

And Obama used it in reference to McCain's economic plan. How does it get from there to Ms. Palin?

It's like Karen says...Is the word "lipstick" now restricted to use by McCain & Co.? Or is his camp reaching for any straw to keep Palin's gender front and center?

HEY, I do my comedy routine here and depend on the people that buy tickets.

Does this mean you all don't love me anymore?

Pam and Shai's Mom,

You all know about what it is to work in the Health Care Industry.

THat is one of MY BIGGEST EFFING PEEVES.

Neither one of the AHs before of since has come up with a comprehensive way to reform HC.


As we age we all have to worry about that. I am blessed in the fact that I have health care for the rest of my life. From work and whatever the government says I can have when I need it.


At this point that is enough for me to make a choice in who I vote for.

Hillary tried to reform HC, god bless her, and could not get anything off the ground because she was the wife, She then got to be senator and tried again.

BO, JM and the rest are nothing but a bunch of hacks that will tell you everything you want to know.

I'd rather pay my taxes and think that I am getting what I and the rest of the people need in HC, than to be promised a tax cut and have that money handed out to the people who didn't do shiat to earn it.

As childish as this sounds, I post in the DH so when the times comes I can go back point a finger and laugh.


The VP candidate might eat moose for dinner, but that's a whole lot better that crow.

[Grace]

I think I'm out of here also, though not for the same reasons as the others.

I would never vote for McCain/Palin for one simple reason - they are heartily endorsed by the current occupant of the White House.

Then there is baseball. The Sox are tied with the Rays in the 12th right now. The pennant race is in full swing and the World Series will be played and over before the election. That's where my focus is right now.

See ya -
