You're right on. I absolutely agree. I'm voting the "Calorie ticket" from now on!

I guess what goes around comes around.

Oh yes, almost forgot: "shouldn't be let out of the kitchen".....shouldn't have agreed as I can't vouch fer her cookin'. If the statement was to emphasize the damage she could/would cause in high office, then I agree with starkers. Nothing anti-feminist was intended by him or me.

Let's all support a minority President!

Joe Lieberman would be ideal. He is a man (45%), Jewish (2%), and orthodox (10% among Jews). (Numbers are my guesses.)

That clearly outminorities Barack Obama (45%, 15%, 80%) and Hillary (55%, 70%, 80%). (80% is Protestants among respective ethnicity.)

She is as inexperienced as Obama. How could she cause more damage?

I don't know US hate crime laws, but I am wondering whether Jews are one of the groups with special protection.

Does anybody know?

Apart from the comment relating to the vacuum between Palin's ears, this has made the most sense regarding this whole political thing in these 'ere forums yet.  Yup, Pizza and icecream.... and cheesecake for Secretary of State, apple pie for Secretary of the Treasury, a moose burger with the lot for the Secretary of Agriculture.... and last but not least, curried cabbage for the Secretary of Defense.  With a WMD such as that in charge of the Pentagon, everybody will become a friend of the US... for fear of getting downwind of the Pentagon boss.

Given her various other, er, how should I put it... misadventures; hair-brained bridges to nowhere; foreign policies based on a view of Russia from her bedroom window and such frequent momentary lapses of reason that joined together they make one ginormous cock-up, I wouldn't vouch for Palin's culinary ski.... er, cooking, either.

So yeah, given her enormous propensity to be the dullest tool in the shed, yeah, my statement was in relation to Palin's lack of integrity, spend-happy ineptitude and lack of competence to hold high office.  Thing is, now I think about it all, I ain't too sure if she should have ever been allowed in a kitchen, either.  Hehe!

Yup, sure sounds like it... but you're a tough ol' bird and you'll pull through with flying colours and have a whole new lease on life. Take it easy and I hope it all goes exceedingly well for you.... no emoticons for me right now, so here's a text *smile* instead.

How did I know it would get around to us? Oh well, I wouldn't vote for or against Lieberman on the basis of religion any more than for or against Obama based on melanin content of the epidermis.

By virtue of the brain voltage (High in his case, w a y too low in hers).

Yes. Virtually every minority is, in the case of Jewish people there is also the wee, tiny hiccup called the Holocaust.

That's the ticket!!!!!

Not so. The motive for a crime changes it's "special circumstances". If someone were dressed in a Nazi uniform and was beating up a Rabbi, would you think it was simple assault and battery? Obvously not. It shouldn't be treated as that either.

Oh G-d....so sorry, little-whip. Hope ominous turns out "Big Nothing".

Here to ya! And the hope the light at the end of the tunnel ain't New Jersey (shudder, chill).

Just released: She fabricated the whole thing...

Shades of the past!

Thanks Phoon. The thought ran through my head which was why I asked for the reference. Little-Whip has been through alot and stands to go through quite a bit more. It's completely understandable why she would react strongly to this kind of story, as many more of us would as well.

The rush to judge is too strong just now, and I recommend we all relax a tad.

It's good to be the King!

There's is some value in refreshing honesty. But I doubt NOW will ever acknowledge it.  They whored themselve to the democrat party a long time ago.  I doubt you will find any reprecussions from them.  But women will find reprecussions in the future.  As the democrats have no reason to worry about their vote in the future.

One would expect she'd be charged with making a false report to police...not to mention Mccain wanting her balls on a plate for screwing his election chances even more via fraudulent behaviour.

Well, this is a pretty disturbed person and yeah she's gonna be minus a job and a criminal charge on the books.....but, true to the BHL in my new nick, I feel sorry for her and the need to do such a thing. Turns out that isn't the first lie she's told on his "behalf". McCain is, unfortunately now linked to 'race baiting'. I wasn't a supporter before, and this stuff (and Limbaugh attributing Obama's visit to his ill grandmother to more nefarious motives) makes it even less likely to ever happen.

Also true to the BHL, I feel sorry for this man who was at one point in his life was a source of great strength to other POW's, behaving in an exemplary manner under great and ultimately crippling distress and torture.

He certainly doesn't deserve this disgrace being associated with his name.

Hey, Dr G, you want ter cut down on yer rum intake thar me bucko... it be do'wen nay good fer yer Zubish afflicshun whatsoever.

As for this election, it has got to the point where there's so much nefarious claptrap going on it seems that a large part of the US is having great difficulty with the truth right now... in how to interpret and/or tell it..... and to be blunt, I have never seen such crazy antics and sheer lunacy over political beliefs/ideals/affiliations in my entire life.  It has gone fron the sublime to the completely ridiculous (when people make false police reports) and you can't even call it passion, loyalty or dedication... because those are all positive attributes, and at times these are not being exhibited by a large number of otherwise decent human beings.

Yup, it is quite disturbing (to the point of being sickening) that normally rational, civilised and friendly people become raging political lunatics and go to extremes beyond reason when others (friends included) happen not to share the same political views or associations, etc.... so yeah, I for one will be glad when this political circus leaves town and (for the most part) some sembance of sanity takes up residency in the main street again.

Peace!

Oy be resentin' that! Don't ye ever be callin' me them things again if'n ye wish ter remain shipmates: rational, civilized (with a z), friendly. Why th' very thought shivers me timbers!

Oy can't 'magine why a despik'ble, degenerate, seafarin', maniacal, Oz Pyrate would stoop to such a nadir in his usually coarse, common, obscene and gen'rally disgoostin' speech.

If ye can't be usin' yer Arrrr-strolly accent then be offern me ship blaggard!

Soyned,

Th' Ship's Docter wot don't treat drown'n!

LOL! That's the kinda response that makes me sure you're gonna make it through the upcoming stuff just fine!

Good on ye lass! Five dubloons!

OMG! That is funny as hell...."normally rational"...if that were even remotely true we wouldn't be in the position we're in now. I'm afraid the raging political lunatic circus is here to stay and this is actually normal behavior...it's just that it gets more press during election time. This isn't the country I grew up in a long time ago...the one I used to be proud of...its just an empty shell anymore. How and why we elect these knuckleheads is sad beyond belief.

And it isn't sanity that takes up residency again....it's apathy.

Orright, then, ye lunartic... ye be as mad as a cut snake n' far frum rashunal.  Be that bett'r fer 'e? 

I was trying to be polite and not offend anyone... but yeah, you're right... the sanest ones are already in the loony bin, with their basket weaving and... and... and anyone with with half an ounce of sense will let them come to take them away, hoho, hehe, haha, hoho, they'll let them take them awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay hoho, hehe, haha.

Aye an' oy be thankin' ye nae t' be in Arrr-rror agin'!

Sad but true WG. Too bad that indifference is anything but benign.

Thanks TonyR for posting the photo....

Your tag, "If your enemy is destroying himself, don’t interfere.", just about says it all.  

I haven't read your blog on which San Cho posted this....I wonder besides this....did he post any substantive argument against Palin of whom he obviously has great disdain?

Aiko8 posts:

I agree.

starkers posts #97

I disagree. Palin is a breath of fresh air and not change but optimism that Washington and America needs. Is her time now, I don't know, but she brings forth a force that will not go away if Conservatives have any say in the matter...and we do.

On Palin, paraphrasing Townhall Magazine comments:

Sarah Palin has come under fire and shown unwavering grace.....her commitment to life, fiscal conservatism and no-nonsense reform (against wrongdoers in the GOP) has enable her to do the unthinkable: unite a fractured party of fiscal, social and libertarian conservatives.

Leauki posts:

Well said, Leauki, and I note that none of your points have been rebutted. Add to that Joe Biden's show of inexperience.....

He was against Reagan's strategic Defense initiative.....

He fought reagan's efforts to fund the freedom fighters in Nicaragua..

He opposed the Surge.....

He wanted to partitition Iraq....

To all of you who tout Obama and hold him up high, clapping wildly as he props himself as a Greek god in front of Greek pillars with the fireworks going off....the gloves are off....he's undone himself...it goes back to TonyR's tag line,

The comparison between McCain/Palin and Obama/Biden is precious life itself....Obama if elected will take our country deep into the Culture of Death....

This is where Obama falls woefully short of true manhood. To Palin, children are a blessing from Almighty God, not a "curse", or a "burden" or a "mistake" or "punishment" as Obama calls them. Palin shows by her life that children should never be sacrificed for the sake of one's career or to cadge votes from the pro-abortion crowd.

It's very simple why the Left is seething with hatred and lashing out against Palin......Sarah Palin is 100% pro-life....and she lives her pro-life principles. The only "choice" Obama approves is DEATH to the inocent unborn baby in the womb. And besides that, death to the poor baby who survives a botched abortion...Obama supports infanticide...

Oh, ya, people,....it's time for some change all right....50 million dead babies is enough innocent blood shed in America's abortuaries.....it's time to give the unborn babies some of that "hope" that Obama keeps talking about....only he is stone hard clueless...wanting to give babies only Death, by a abortionist's knife, scalpel, a suction machine, or a pair of scizzors to the back of the head or left alone to die in a linen closet.

Obama promised the professional baby-killers at Planned Parenthood that he would make legalized abortion untouchable...never to be outlawed or restricted in any way....

On the other hand, McCain/Palin say they would give every baby the fundamental inalienable right to life which comes from our Creator and is the bedrock philosophy enshrined in the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution.

You can disagree all you like... but Sarah Palin IS NOT suitable Washington Material, period.  The woman is so fundamentally flawed she represents a clear and present danger to the citizens of the US, and subsequently the World.  However, if you wish to remain blind and totally oblivious to everything that is patently wrong with her, then give her your vote because you will inevitably suffer more immediate, profound and devastating consequences than I ever will... I don't live there, but if you see fit to inflict such a loose cannon on your fellow citizens, you're the one who has to sleep at night when the political vacuum between her ears provides no answers, just more grief.

Yes, I have seriously bad feelings about the woman (stuff I have seen...hmmm, we won't go there), but fortunately the alternative will prevail and the whole World will be grateful for having been spared the political catastrophe that she is.

Now I get it....the Religious/Evangelical, and oh so compassionate (not), Right. No point in trying to discussing anything.

Yeah. Instead of having to deal with an inexperienced vice-president the world will have to deal with an equally (actually more) inexperienced president. That's obviously better.

I don't know why McCain chose Sarah Palin as his running mate, but in doing so he certainly uncovered left-wing misogyny (not that we were surprised after seeing how they treated Hillary) and suddenly lack of experience became an attribute the left claims makes one unable to hold high office.
