Time to play the So What card wrt Sarah Palin.

So she has 5 kids...so what. WTF does that have to do with anything, especially given that she exploits them shamelessly.

So she had Trig knowing he would have Down's Syndrome...so what. People make similar decisions every day. And what kind of name is "Trig"?

So she's a "hockey mom" or soccer mom or security mom or wtfe. So what...so are millions of other American women.

So she's pretty. So what...so is Obama. Better-looking spouse, too.

So she's the first woman this and first woman that and So what. The Mayor of East Podunkistan can join the club.

Just another worthless, useless, tokenized conservative woman.

Short for trichinosis?

One could argue, if they are a staunch conservative who believes in family values, that Mrs. Parlin should stay at home with her kids instead of playing footsy with the big boys in their big boys club. What if McSame dies and she's the one that has to answer the 3 a.m. phone call? What if she's nursing Trig at that hours? Then what? What becomes of her family values? Shame shame shame shame...

She's anti-choice, anti-stem cell research, and wants creationism taught in schools. The bigger question is So what....happens if she became president?

McSame chose George W. Bush in a dress as his running mate.

LOL Hockey Mom names! lol Track, Bristol, Willow, Piper, Trig!

I really don't care about Sarah Palin per se, at all. I hope she has a good life. What I care about is the possibility of electing a Presidential candidate with such poor judgment that he choose Palin to be his running mate. That, and the chance she would be thrust into a position of grave responsibility that she is in no way qualified for.

I hate the qualified arguement. Nobody's qualified. It's a matter of integrity. Case in Point... McCain. He's "qualified" But, He'll take this country down faster than Palin could ever dream of.

Well she LOVES guns, so could it be short for trigger?

Why would you think McCain would take down the country faster than Palin? I understand that she's quite a bit more extreme right-wing and Christian fundamentalist than he is.

Dobson likes her, and he is one of the reasons Bush won in 2004. But like my dad told me today (he has been in politics as a precent captain in Chicago and is for Obama and really thinks Obama is still going to win). Said I should have more confidance. I just get nervous that Rove and these people will take it away.

Friends, can we please stop acting out of fear?

We do not have to be afraid of these a-holes, they are deathly afraid of us....And I intend on rubbing their nose in it, every chance I get.

This is just a gut feeling. I know nothing of Palin. I just forsee McCain starting a (cold or otherwise) war with Iraq, Iran, Korea, and Russia.
I can't imagin anything worse
And, Extreme right wing and Christian has nothing to do with it. While I don't agree with anything they say. I do not like to lump people together like that. I know many Christian fundamentalists that know how to lead people responcibly.
McCain has lost his marbles. I'll take anybody other than McCain.

Name one lol

In re: The VP selection

"My bucket of warm spit is better than your bucket of warm spit."

Do you think Condi Rice is a token black conservative woman?

the more important question

what do you think she is

She's far more fundy than Grampy.....

Palin: Dominionist Stalking Horse


All I can say is.....ICKY!!

He says, tokenizing Condi Rice due specifically to race and gender.

This is known as "pandering", as you would not have thought to ask that question to what you thought was a white person.

Classic.

Just gotta say this veep pick is a Bush/McCain joke. And a joke made in very serious times.

They are such a noble tribe - these lying, cheating joksters with their snarky smiles - who laugh all the way to the bank on the backs of American taxpayers. That's THEIR audacity. And, yes, karma will be a big bitch.

edit:

Furthermore, Obama should only focus on Bush/McCain as he has been doing. McCain is trying like hell to distance himself away from Bush, but he can't. The record and facts stand on their own and Obama will deal the final punches to both McCain and Bush - not Sarah Palin.

No, and BTW, where the hell is she? The silence is mysterious.

Oh, and that spouse is PROBABLY more qualified to be Vice-President than all but a handful of candidates. She's Hillary Clinton, but smarter - you watch that lady, Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama, JD. She might just be #2 on the one-two punch that will get the Clintons even more jealous.

She's not gonna get chewed up like Hillary did with healthcare. You watch, you watch.

I cant help but think she and MissThang Cindy will end up butting heads. Cindy is not going to be happy about her husband always hanging out with a younger woman. She will not allow herself to be demoted in anyway. I bet they hate each other before too long.

Naw. She don't have no beer. Ain't no threat with no beer.

She got into journalism because she wanted to be a sportscaster.

I bet they hate each other already.

And if I recall, she was for awhile. That's probably the REAL limit to her talent.

Probably... START THE DEBATES!

1) WhatsHerName made the choice to have her Down's Syndrome baby. The operative word being "choice".

2) I heard some talking head or another say that Trig is, indeed, short for Trigonometry, WhatsHerNames's favorite subject. No source on this but I'm sure it'll come out in the vetting proces--oh, snap!

lol For once I'll quote Dubya: "bring 'em on."

Trig because Trigonometry is something he will never understand? How mean is that?

Lunatic Christian Dominionist Mean.

So when did becoming the Governor of a state stop being a significant accomplishment?

When they started electing "hockey moms" to that position.

Friday 8/29/08

I would disagree, being out here in California.

When she served only 20 Months, has an Investigation going on and the people of Alaska are shaking their head saying WTF?

Especially when she went on TV saying "what does the VP do? I want to know before I accept that job"

or ... Obama's energy plan works for me ...

or ... I've been so busy taking care of the Alaskan people, I don't know what's going on Internationaly.

or ...

So many fuck up quotes.

WTF?

WTF?!??!??!??!??!???!????!?!!!!??!????!????!!?????!!!!

AND ...

WHO ???!???!????!!! (Is She) ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????//

How to tell when you are repeating a talking point:

There is a 'cognitive dissonanace', a feeling that something isn't quite right. Compare what you are saying to things you have said in the past. Does it match up? Does it make sense?

If someone you generally disagree with said the same thing, would it still make sense to you?

Think about what you are saying. Who would benefit from what you are saying? Are you just repeating something you heard, but didn't think about?

Think about what you say. Only you can prevent talking points.

lol. Yeah, you've got the Governator. Good point.

That's nice.

Yup.

And we had Reagan, who went on to turn becoming president into an insignificant accomplishment.

lol and Reagan broke the "glass ceiling" for all the many folks suffering from senile dementia.

Apparently with her, "choice" only cuts one way.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Yeah, governing all 12 of them in Alaska.

Please.

Her nickname should be Killer/Driller.

Hell, he did that running for Governor here in '66.

I was 15 and speaking out against "the old fool" then. (He was only 55 at the time, lol...)

My folks (FDR Democrats) HATED him.

Yeah, just a wild guess, but his sudden change of ideology in midlife sounds like a personal crisis.

When she stopped beating her husband

I can't believe they thought this woman would bring over the diehard PUMAs to their side.

If Hillary voters are going to be won over by a anti-choice, Christian dominionist, Buchanan-loving, gun-nut, drill-now-drill-forever woman with no foreign policy experience (even less than Hillary's), then the PUMAs are really just Operation Chaos Republicans, anyway. Or people who will vote for anything with ovaries, which is even more silly.

Why not put Phyllis Schafly on the ticket?

I don't know about that, but here is a post from another board (a mom's board) that someone made when she saw the kids' names:



I have to admit, I have no idea what "Charmed" is. I think it's a series about witches?

Coz she's gonna get Biden in the ring, and he's gonna sweat...

AHA! SHE'S A WITCH! BURN HER!

SHE HAD THE FIFTH CHILD TO COMPLETE THE UNHOLY PENTACLE!

BEWARE! BABY SACRIFICES IN THE WHITE HOUSE!!

Don't always agree with the Dowd, and she is half right here, about Hillary and mostly wrong about Obama. I think Hillary is ready to be and should be point person to stave off this Palin-play.

Moreover, I believe in the wisdom of Obama and Biden: McCain has chosen Palin based soley on ideology, and not taking into consideration whether Palin can serve on day one.

Whereas, Obama's #1 reason to pick Biden? Biden, CAN step in and be president at any time.
#2 reason to pick Biden? He wanted Biden's counsel, but he also wanted someone who would not be afraid to argue with him - Biden does not bite his tongue, and if Obama has any blind spots, there will be those surrounding him, I am sure (not just Biden) that can pick that up. Everyone needs help and one cannot be a leader without some degree of debate and having yes people all around you is self-defeating.

Apparently McCain will be just like Bush - yes people (owned too) all around the table - example - Palin.
