McCain/Palin ???

[RICHARD]

I`m in school to become a dental hygienist, does this mean I can look forward to a Beauty Pageant in my future too?

That's up to you, I am still trying to decide what I want to be after I grow up.
Do not panic- that is an old joke about exotic dancers. They dance to get money to pay for DH school. They only plan on doing it for a year then go to school.

Actually, since you are already in school you are disqualified from BPs and dancing. Sorry.

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

We could always see it President Camacho from the movie "Idiocracy" is interested in running again.

Now, he was a leader!

She's a man's kind of woman. I just saw her pulling salmon nets into a boat, she jogs, she hunts, she played basketball in school, she gets double points from me if she drinks beer and watches sports with her husband

How good is that! (positions are available down here, if things don't work out )

I would hate to think that McCain won the election because of Palin, but I do believe he made his selection of her with the idea of getting Hillary supporters' votes. This is not an election based on gender, just as it isn't based on color. At least I hope it isn't either of these!

C.) Has a son who is about to deploy to Iraq. No more sophmoric arguements about "you would not do this if it was YOUR son" from the left.

And Biden has no children?

Well... Good for him. Really.

But he IS a JAG officer. I doubt he ever leaves the wire. But still, good for him.

This makes me want to find out what Palin's son does. Is he a pointy edge guy or a REMF.

Possibly being terribly British here, but ....

Libs... Be VERY afraid of this woman.

...noticed this posted somewhere and had to comment.

Why should political rivals 'fear' the other's candidates? What on earth is politics like over there?

Secondly,

This has got to be one of the most silly thing I have ever read. Are you being serious?

"Something smaller than a pea." Well, that 'pea' has its own DNA. Your arguement almost sounds like you are trying to convince yourself that abortion is not murder.

Yet you equate harvesting a game animal with murder. That is so insane, I really can't put it in words. MURDER. That tells me that hunters should be arrested and put in jail. Is that what you really think? REALLY?

FWIW, hunting is about WAY, WAY more than the kill. You clearly have no idea what it is about and I doubt you ever care to. Before you truly HATE something, you should learn the truth about it.


Oh and get ready to cry, alot. LOL Dove season opens on Monday. Then, Deer and Fall Turkey's not long after that.

Eesh, did you step out the door with your left foot this morning? There was no need to reply that rudely to Marigold.

I am pro-choice too when it comes to abortion. I believe a very young foetus is not truly 'alive' until it can experience senses, particularly pain. OK, it has DNA. So does every nucleus in every cell of the human body. I don't feel terrible if I shake my head and wipe out tens of thousand of them in the space of a few seconds.

It is far more cruel to bring an unwanted child into the world, or risk the life/health of the mother in birth, than to abort the pregnancy early on.

Anything you kill when hunting has DNA, if that is so significant to you.

I am vegetarian, so please hold the 'it's-no-different-to-eating-a-beefburger-so-don't-be-hypocritical', in case anyone would like to voice that.

It takes a little man to demand a woman to cry. A really little man. I'm really surprised you added that.

Two people separated by a common language. LOL

"Fear", as in be worried about. As in she will be a factor that will cause Obama's supporters heartburn because she is that good.

Sheesh.

My turn to roll my eyes at you.



I said own DNA, as in different. As in different DNA than the mother. Thus, to me, it is a separate human life and not just a 'gob of cells' inside the mother. And come on... Give me a LITTLE bit of credit. Or, should I thank you for pointing out the glaringly obvious?

As for the crying thing.... Well, nearly everybody here thinks I am some kind of monster, so I will just play my part.

Why do so many people on this BB take everything to literally? Can none of you see sarcasm? Or only when it is the kind said during something you agree with?

[sasvermont]

Maybe many of us just don't like sarcasm!

I appreciate the fact that everyone has their point to get across, but the more civilized we are the less off track we get.

We all know that you are smart. What I find difficult to understand is why you must spoil that with sarcasm.

Just my opinion. Doesn't make me right!

I get it that you are (right now) a Republican.

Well... Tough. LOL Just because you don't like or cannot appreciate sarcasm is not my problem. But I bet if somebody who said something to/about me that was sarcastic, you would enjoy it. Or if sarcasm is used in a way that makes you agree with it...

I don't see it as spoiling the arguement. I see it as a little spice. This IS the internet afterall. We certainly are not going to solve the worlds problems here. But it sure is fun to talk about it. Yes, fun. I can plainly see that my point of view on most things is in the vast minority here. That is the very reason I like to post about this stuff here. You never learn anything when all you do is talk/argue with people you agree with. Kinda like why our public schools suck. Nobody is ever allowed to fail or get burned and we rarely learn things from success. We learn by failing, then getting up, dusting off and moving forward.

I get it that you are (right now) a Republican.

How dare you insult me like that? LOL I am a Libertarian in point of view, but registered as an independant. I was voting for Bob Barr until Palin got into the mix. She is a true conservative with Libertarian leanings and she really has the potential to be part of the winning ticket. That gets her that much closer to the big prize.

So yes, thank you, I like and do understand the concept of sarcasm.

Maybe my sarcasm and your sarcasm are different, because all I saw in your reply to Marigold was spite.

The monster thing - is it supposed to make me feel sorry for you? I was quite vexed by that. It's a shame you feel you have to present yourself in that way. People meeting me in person for the first time could, and have, gotten the impression that I'm common and not much more than a young face. It doesn't mean I try to conform to that image that is so opposite to the real me. Sorry, but you lost me on that one.

I will now back out this thread for I have no further contribution on the trials and tribulations of US politics, and I don't want to get too off topic from the OP.

[Bonny]

You are a Brit! Why should you be concerned about how we Americans vote or feel about our candidates? This is a free country we all have our separate opinions to the issues at hand & will vote accordingly when the time comes. May the best qualified black, white, male, female, democat, republican, WIN. Oh I love my country the U. S. A. Land of the free home of the brave!!!

[Puckstop31]

What is it that you would like credit for? Your opinions? Or that you don't equate cells of the body to a very young foetus?

As for the sarcasm thing, I used sarcasm right here.

LOL. NO. I want you to think enough of my intellect so that you would not assume I do not know that EVERY living thing has its 'own' DNA. Are you following this now? Your original responce sounded to me like you were trying to inform me that everything has DNA. I know that. LOL

Oh, and if that was sarcasm.... I didn't get it.

Maybe my sarcasm and your sarcasm are different, because all I saw in your reply to Marigold was spite.

Well, thats good. Because there was supposed to be a little spite in my responce. Because IMHO, she said something very dangerous.

<sigh>

Did we just not discuss the whole sarcasm thing? No, I don't want you to feel sorry for me. LOL That is actually comical to think about.

I LIKE to present myself that way, HERE. Think of me as an actor playing a role.

Zara, do you know the game of Hockey? This guy has taken a few to
many pucks to the head. Just consider the source,ok? He's posting again
after a long absence & loves to argue just for the sake of arguement. This
is not to be taken seriously.

Somehow I have the feeling that McCain cooked his own goose and gave the presidency to Obama. When I heard who he picked as his running mate, I said "WHO??" Of course I will check this gal out further before I make my final decision but I sure would like to ask Mccain "what were you thinking???" Anybody have the same thoughts here?

A newcomer COULD be a good idea. She hasn't made deals with anyone to get into power. She hasn't made any promises to big wigs for their support. In her 16+ years in public office, she has had Republicans, Democrats, Independents and Libertarian's on her Staff. She doesn't owe anyone any favors -- and no one party owes her anything.

[caseysmom]

I think his choice was brilliant. I also agree about hunting being a non issue, if you eat meat your much more humane hunting that buying meat that was butchered in a meat packing plant, if you don't believe me read fast food nation.

I like her and I think he made a wise choice, will it get me to change my vote...probably not but it has got me thinking and its not because she is a woman, its the kind of woman she is.
