The Pitbull and Palin

What's the difference between a Pit Bull and Sarah Palin?

When Sarah Palin has a litter, she has to have them one at a time...

Neither are welcome in Denver...

You can't go to jail for making Sarah Palin fight...

Pit Bulls don't believe the earth is 5,000 years old...

Pit Bulls (like all dogs) are colorblind...

Pit Bulls only mate when they are in heat...

I like pit bulls!

these are the best I can come up with on short notice.

Priceless

Ok, this one has got to be your best one, Mr. Bolling... or at least in the top 10 of your best.

Truly hilarious. Thanks,

Move along lady, move along...

You know,

I am thoroughly disgusted by both of the current political parties, but repeating known lies (all that crap about secessionism, etc) is not gaining you any fans.

Hey, the fems wanted a fem, and now they got one.

but repeating known lies (all that crap about secessionism, etc)

Well done Poco. Lies are truth, truth is lies. Orwell would be proud.

They aren't lies, you know it. You are a Republican so you lie by reflex. Nothing can be done about it really, but at least try to get it under control?

And the part about the NRA supporting, creationism and abstinence-only educating, anti-stem cell research, pro-censorship, anti-abortion extremist stuff?

You know, guys, we all have access

to the same information (concerning Palin). What I always find humorous is how when someone disagrees with you, you call them a republican. Now there is open-minded, pluralistic, warm and fuzzy liberalism for you. Not really. Most of the liberalism I encounter is hateful and extremely narrow minded. All one has to do is look at the posts here, and some that I have saved since before the death threats against that girl liberal blogger (Kathy Sierra) when these forums were less moderated than they are now. Some of the more poignant ones I kept had to do with one proud liberal dreaming he was shooting me in the face. There's some free love for you.

I am not a republican. Not even close.

I am a crunchy conservative. Look it up.

BTW, with the socialist direction the republicans have taken the last several years (the medicare drug program = the US's largest entitlement ever), I would think you would welcome your new overlords.

Missy Palin

why did you want to vote for Hillary- Palin will gather some far right women votes the christian women are not Palins there actual mons who stay at home and raise the kids(there actualy are some)The whole christian vote will not just go to the right they may just not vote- with the information now comming out about Palin and her attitude they will see this is not a true christian- she is more like an Taliban you follow or she cuts off your head-=as mayor and Gov. what would she become as VP- she was a pit bull going after her sisters husband that a judge had to tell her to back off on degrading the dad in front of the kids and e-mailing his boses 40 times a day-If she wanted to be know as a pit bull who is to say that a pig is any diffrent-What do you call a female dog.

Poco

Fine, conservative, Republican, it is all the same. Instead I'll just call you a compulsive liar. That takes into account both groups.

We do all have access to the same information concerning Palin, which is why it is so absurd for you to try to claim she wasn't a member of a secessionist party.

I don't call you a Republican because I disagree with you, you say that because you're trying to misdirect. I call you a Republican because I've seen your posts here over the years and that's a category you fit. That or Conservative and they are two aspects of the same mental disease.

Most of the liberalism I encounter is hateful and extremely narrow minded

That's because you're reading it through your own hateful and narrow minded filter. Liberalism is about community and about helping one another. You see people reacting to your statements and think they're reacting to people in general.

Conservatives usually react to liberals being angry or forecful like a comedian yelling "Hey! You're stealing my bit!" Judging by your posts over the years, that's what you're doing here.

@Lynx

Thanks for taking an interest in my posts over the years. I'm touched. No, really. Since you read mine, you undoubtedly have read the vile and vicious responses to them and can confirm that what I say is true, but enough of that.

You are demonstrating a profound ignorance of conservatism and the republican party (of today) by suggesting that the two have much, if anything in common. You may be thinking of Hannity's version of "conservatism" which is anything but. Ron Paul comes much closer, with Barry Goldwater being probably the best single-person reference. If you think that Goldwater would have anything in common with today's republicans, you are sadly uninformed.

Goldwater started this whole branch of Conservatism. It was in reaction to his loss that the think-tanks started and the money was invested in making the Republican party what it is today.

True Conservatism

bears no resemblance to the republican part, that's all. I am a conservative, not a republican. You insist on calling me a republican, seemingly for no other reason than I disagree with you. If you have really read my other posts, you know that I do not align my self through proclamation nor demonstration of philosophy, with the republican party.

The difference between a pit bull and Sarah Palin

After evacuating its bowels, the pit bull is no longer full of fucking dogshit.

McCain takes a cue from Ben Franklin

At its heart, Rove and Limbaugh's, er, I mean McCain's choice of Palin is rooted in the belief that women are stupid, and can't tell one woman from another. Ben Franklin once said "In the dark, all cats are grey." and what he meant that was one woman was just as good as another. The Republicans seem to think that disaffected Hillary Clinton supporters will flock over to their side, because A WOMAN is on the ticket, despite the fact that aside from matching XX chromosomes, Hillary and Sarah could scarcely be more different from one another. I dearly hope that the American people, not just the women, are smart enough to see this and reject such a cynical, insulting, pandering ploy.
