She's repulsive. What's even more repulsive is people actually give a [censored] what she does/thinks/etc.

If it wasn't for mommy and daddy's money I'd probably be stuffing dollar bills in her thong while she slithers around on the pole up in Vancouver.

3rd party? Bo Gritz.

While she had a coherent energy plan, will she abolish the IRS like Ron Paul? I'm sure her family would LOVE that.

Maybe Ron Paul should go blonde...........

The Canadians typically have too much sense to do that. The frist time I laid a $ bill on the rail in a Canadian strip club my Canadian friends said."What are you doing? We don't do that here!"

Dave, I know it was a joke and that you weren't posting that as an endorsement.

My comment was directed at the way Americans are so infatuated with celebrity. Look at the way the whole Bert Farvrve thing has played out in the media over the past month. WHO CARES? Unfortunately way too many people follow that crap like it has some direct influence on their lives.

Agreed!

I know it wasn't my good looks that got me and my cousin a night with the "California Dream Team" up at the Gaslight a few years ago. $1 here $1 there and some drinks after their shift was about all it took.....

The thing is...

The Hilton family donated the maximum allowable amount ($4,000+) to the McCain campaign shortly before that commercial comparing Barack Obama to Paris Hilton was aired.

I don't know much about what Paris Hilton has ever said, but my impression is that video may be the most coherent and intelligent words ever to come out of her mouth. And to think I assumed her mouth only had one good use.

Of course not. She's never had to do jacksh*t her whole life, lived off the dividends and profit of other's labor, and has had underpaid workers take care of her her whole entire life. She's the epitome of the republican ideal.

KK, why? Does she have a video of her doin' what her mouth looks like it would do best? That would probably sell well in the porn market. Of course I wouldn't know anything about that. I could check with Sol.

Neither do most Republican politicians Hank... so that's one thing they have in common.

She IS better lookin' than any of them though... so game, set, match Paris Hilton.

You let me know when that Republican is running for President.......I want to vote for that guy.

He will definetly have my vote also.

If she was McCain's running mate, I bet that ticket would win.

Correction: That's the American Conservativism ideal you speak of. The GOP has nothing to do with that except co-opt it into their line of BS. You want America to turn into a class-stratified third world sh*thole where the corporate oligarchy of shareholders make the rules, vote GOP. Cheney re-routed air routes using his Homeland Security powers so that his vacation home in The Hamptons wouldn't be disturbed by air traffic coming into Idlewild. How's that for "conservativism?"

Well stated in all aspects Hankster!

It's the no accountability factor for anyone in our government that is the root of the problem. Hold people responsible, either through no performance no pay, or criminal liability for misuse of funds, etc. It should be that easy.

Accountability. Unfortunately it seems that a large portion of accountability for congressional members is what kind of bacon you can bring home. The Tacoma Tribune had an endorsement for Norm Dicks and basically it just said that he was head of improtant subcommitees and was good for the area. It got me to thinking, while I have nothing against congressman Dicks, I really can not say what his position on anything is other than he is Pro-Military. Neither can I think of one peice of Legislation he has proposed that has been important. But he brings home money and keeps our bases from getting shut down and because of that he will never be defeated. A prime example of how bacon works is the pedestrian bridge over I-5 in Tacoma. If you know this area at all, you will no this is the only one in the area. It appears to originally have been installed when the freeway was first built so kids on one side of the freeway in the government housing area could still walk to school. When the freeway was widened, they torn down the original walkway and installed a new one. In all the time I have lived in Tacoma I don't think I have ever seen anyone use it. I look every time. There just is no need for it. It basically connects the school to a busy commercial area. But since it brought money to the construction guys in the area, no one questioned it. I just wished we had legislators who knew how to just say NO>

Krijack - Norm Dicks is the one who was pushing for all hatchery salmon to be marked. I believe he's had something to do with Mitchell Act funding as well.

Hank - Very well put! You see... when you push all of the partisan BS aside... TRUE conservatives and liberals aren't really all that far apart.
