Dammit, Sol Duc...I was saving that one for later, though I was going to couch it in terms of her "position" on pork...ah, well, missed opportunities.

One thing's for sure...and this is a fact, and undeniable one at that...























...her parenting skills and her daughter sure as hell aren't anti-pork, either.

Noone here will deny the seriousness of the issues. Noone took Newt serious either about the contract but, they got most of that done in the house. Too bad the senators didnt sign on. Anyone can be wrong, but Im willing to give the GOP ticket a chance to actually do some changes. It wont be easy. But if they dont walk the talk, women will abandon them and you might end up with Ron Paul or worse. If I was a mayor of a small town, contributing taxes to the federal govt against my will, I would lobby for a share of the take. Palin is no different. Im told she campaigned on having a sales tax, where none existed. Oil obviously cant pay for everything. You call her a hypocrit and I call her realistic. Getting rid of the jet is more important than the language, and she didnt lie. She didnt lose 600,000 dollars. The entire cost of the plane was pissed away for a gov who wanted a perk, cause he was too elitist to fly first class. Id be surprised if they have more than two large airports.... I dont care who she sold it to. Its a free market and it was on ebay. It went thru a broker. Its only worth what someone will pay. I dont think CG needs a plane either. They can rent a jet from Donald trump for all I care if she wants to burn that much fuel. She doesnt have to run a military from a jet. She doesnt have to fly to the middle east several times a year. ( I dont know for sure, if she has one ) principle only.
Bottom line, Im betting on something other than business as usual. Other than that, we just dont agree on the basic structures in the platforms. We have lots of people in congress that could be going home this year on both sides. Its about time.

Isn't taxing the oil companies and giving the money back to the populace simply a variant of redistributing the wealth, aka Socialism?

I thought the R's didn't like that sort of thing.

Ron Paul 2008

Sarah 'Barracuda'?

She's strong, she's a barracuda, she's a hockey-mom/pit bull.

She's a poor woman, she shouldn't be talked to like that, she's not going to talk to you until you can be nice.

It's so confusing.

The Obama camp has no idea what to do with Palin....they are dazed and confused. I think the only chance Obama has to win this election is to dump Biden and snatch Hilary.....but we all know she does not want Obama to win this election and would not accept it.

Polls are showing a 20 point swing to Mccain with Woman white voters, this kind of swing in this short of time is unbelievable.

Well, I thought it was chickensh!t when Hillary started shedding tears in her run against Obama......her numbers instantly shot up in the upcoming states. If women want to be treated as equals, they should BE treated as equals.

A man who cried about his treatment, or slipping in the race, would be out of the race in a second. Yet a woman gets treated tough, shed's a tear, and jumps in the polls? WTF?

Vladimir Putin won't give a sh!t that she's a woman.

If she can take the heat, then more power to her. But the McCain camp should let her into the kitchen.

I agree, the Lip stick statement is bogus....Blown way out of proportion. McCain & Palin need to get over it.

What's more important is whether Big O eats pork? I'm betting he nor his family does....

Let them vote and reap what they sow, then.

No skin off my ass..................I'm a man.

Palin: President or Pawn

1. A poor record: Her only political experience has been a few years as mayor of a small town in Alaska and less than two years as governor of that state. Her record wasn’t so great: the small town she left behind is now in financial ruin.
2. She has no experience with national level politics. At the time of this posting, many of her views on national policy issues were unknown simply because she is so inexperienced that she hasn’t even made public statements about them. Presidential history scholars believe she may be “the most inexperienced person on a major party ticket in modern history.”
3. She has no foreign policy experience. None.
4. Iraq War? Our country is in the midst of a war, and Palin’s son is going to fight in that war. However, Salon.com reports that she hasn’t even given much thought to the Iraq War, and has no clear opinions about it. Great.
5. She is a creationist, and she wants “creation science” to be taught in public schools.
6. She doesn’t believe in man-made global warming. Maybe that’s why she supports drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge?
7. Not only does she think the government should be telling people who they can and cannot marry, she also thinks that same sex couples should be denied benefits given to straight couples.
8. Palin has been accused of abusing her power as Alaska governor to try to get her ex-brother-in-law fired as a state trooper. An investigation is underway.
9. She has messed up views on wildlife protection. Environmentalists are appalled by her support of a $150-per-wolf bounty program. She’s also supported the use of government money to educate people about how great it is to shoot bears and wolves, and she doesn’t want the polar bear to make it onto the endangered species list.
10. One nation, under stupidity: When defending the phrase “one nation under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance, Palin said, “If it was good enough for the founding fathers, its good enough for me and I’ll fight in defense of our Pledge of Allegiance.” Reality check: The Pledge of Allegiance was written in 1892, long after the founding fathers died. The phrase “one nation under God” was added in 1954….
11. Anti-birth control nutcase- Not only does Palin oppose abortion in all cases, she also opposes the use of birth control in all cases. That includes married couples that want to use condoms or the pill!
12. Politicizing non-political jobs: When she was mayor of small town in Alaska, Palin abused her authority by firing city employees that did not fully support her reelection campaign.
13. She can’t even manage her own family - rumors have given way to an admission from Palin that her teenage daughter is pregnant, and will be having a shotgun marriage to the guy that knocked her up. That’s what abstinence-only education gets you.
14. Ninja editing: Her Wikipedia entry needed to be cleaned up before the public announcement that she was McCain’s VP pick.
15. She has no clue about the role of the Vice President.
16. It is quite clear she was chosen just because of her gender (most Republicans have never even heard of her), and she’s being used as a trick by the McCain campaign to gain some of Hillary Clinton’s supporters.

That is one big ass chess board.

bwp, ask any of the women on this board if they were offended....you won't find one period

Like I said, I'm voting Ron Paul.

All this sh!t is just a circus sideshow to me.

Lots of clowns.

Ronny can't carry McCain's jock strap, or Palin's purse...So why not make your vote count.......

Mf

Hate to let you in on a secret, MF, but Obama has this state sewn up.

My vote will be no more wasted than yours AND I won't have to embarass myself by having to admit I voted for one of these two goats.

Still have the Bush/Cheney sticker on your rig?

Latest poll has Obama up by 4 points in Wash, that's pretty close for this blue state.

That poll must have been taken East of the mountains because on the West side he is something like 20 points ahead.



























No, I really just made that up
