Imagine if Palin were a Democrat.
She'd be a hell of a lot more fun at parties because she'd not have such a chip on her shoulder and such a stick up her ass...
Is she so demeaning to Obama because she's pissed that he's a man or is she so mean to Obama because she's vacuous and just saying what she was programmed to say... Does she enjoy being so mean?
I had a client a month ago who was HOT (steaming HOT) and her office had a poster of Hillary that had a caption saying "Hillary: Worthless Cunt".
Yeah...
Nice 'taking one for the team' there...
That would be like being a black republican.
But a political party that has been able to make the largest and most damaging and complete failure of the government and the military under their control into a badge of honor and rallying cry can do damn near anything.
Of course I refer to the infamous attacks on 9/11/2001.
A time when apparently the entire government stopped working properly for those many months leading up to the attacks.
'What was the title of that briefing?' (after much stammering and forced speech) 'Bin Laden determined to attack in the United States.' 'Well, but that didn't mean he was GOING to attack, just that he WANTED to attack.'
How Rice can still have any value as a 'diplomat' is amazing to me... Well, except as a 'dip'-lomat possibly.
Way too much that has happened at the hands of the Bushies and the traitorous 'Blue Dog Democrats' for me to even believe that McCain can or will do anything to right the wrongs. There is NOTHING that would make me even consider that he could!
Who is running McCain/Palin? I can only guess and four more years of their bullshit will likely ruin this country for good...
A people get the government they deserve. Doesn't that assume that the people actually voted for that government?
Times are grave... We need action, we need results... We have a ham handed and overly managed Democrat running for president.
I guess we should all get used to having to hard encrypt our computers and our email... We are going to need it.
Did anyone read about Mukasey's TPA redo? Imagine Palin, the queen of petty and mean running that machine... They'll have to BUY Cuba to house all her manufactured enemies...
I see dealing with Palin to be a problem.
Her history puts her on the level of cocky and brash and prone to use not only her family but her political friends and her gender as a tool and weapon.
I predicted in a 'Crooks and Liars' thread that she would probably resort to the oldest manipulative trick in the woman's bag of tricks during the debate with Joe Biden: crying.
Can't you just see it happening?
What's interesting is that in previous posts I railed about democrats voting for anyone with a 'D' behind their name. Are women also just as easily led astray? It's an odd question because Palin is the 'anti-woman' and her spouse, Todd, is the 'anti-union member' too.
These people place their standing as 'republicans' and their place in the machine as more important than anything else.
You think it's bad with McCain flogging people and the media with his POW status? Comments I've heard about Palin and her high heels and beeded skirts and perky breasts make her the absolute candidate for the anti-Christ for women and women's issues for the foreseeable future.
She is the perfect 'sex bomb' to get the GOP another 4 to 8 years in office, only this one comes with teeth.
She wants to ban books, she wants to limit birth control, she wants more wars, she loves pork barrel money and evidently lobbyist shlong. She isn't afraid to smear, defile, slime, defame or libel anyone in her way to what she feels is rightfully hers.
She is dangerous to a country with the dungeon of Dick Cheney still in operation. 'Kid in a candy store' doesn't even come close. In her ignorant self-righteous religious and ideological stupor, she is capable of actually surpassing the Cheney administration in shear chutzpah and gall. She knows nothing of the operation of the Federal Government except that it's a money machine and people with power can make her feel good and do things for her.
Yeah. That sounds like a disaster just waiting to happen...
Who ever is 'running her' public face is so far doing a smashup job of it. She's giving the people just what they want: theatre and lots of it.
To an audience addicted to 'reality TV', right wing blogs, soap operas, Jerry Springer and Fox News, she is a goddess... A very dangerous one at that.
HELL NO TO McCAIN/PALIN!!!
Did she graduate from High School? Go to college? Graduate from college? With a degree in what? Cauldron cleaning and Graduate Book Burning?
But seriously: What is her educational background? Does she have any? That will be the true tell of her worth.
Yeah, having nice tits and legs is ok but if there ain't a normal brain in the bucket, then it's just tits and legs...
She didn't work to kill the bridge to nowhere!
Stevens campaigned for her.
She's connected... THAT is why she was picked...
