      Re: Squirrel – I know right? I have challenge a few and they just go away I never did get Jermaine’s facts I probably never will. There’s only few Obama supporters on here I respect minx is one. she has great knowledge of politics even though we don’t see eye to eye on candidates. I am disgusted with the uneducated moronic people on here that think they are smarter then anyone else because they’re voting for Obama, without any facts as to why. I’m in Florida and we didn’t count here when it came to demarcated vote. If they had recognized Florida Hillary would be making the speech tonight not Obama.

Don't whine like a little bitch on one post about personel attacks and turn around and talk that cracker shit on the next. Your GAME needs tighten up J.

      Re: SKITTLES – If the Dems used the Republicans rules for the primaries she would have blown Obama away, even without Fla and Michigan. And what is a Super Delegate for if they don't vote independently. That's not what they were installed for. They all caved to the pressure. Oh well. I must admit, I always experience a fair amount of schadenfreude watching the Dems lose.

      A Song 4 John McBush: sing it wiff me ~

      Well, here comes Johnny with his ***** in his hand
      He's a one ball man, and he's off to the rodeo
      There's an allemande left, an allemande right
      Come on you fuckin' dummy get your right step right
      Get off the stage, you god damn goof, you're slow
      You piss me off, you fuckin' jerk, you get on my nerves
      :l
      Let me tell you why……



    22. 822

      ……Roe v. Wade was successful based on the Due Process clause of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. So now, McBush and PalinBush want to overturn that Decision, which is not demonstrating any loyalty to the Constitution. It is also not conducive of "change" but rather; more of the same. Americans are not concerning themselves with Roe v. Wade, so why is McBush making that a major aspect of his platform? Therein lies your first clue that giving power to McBush, will result in "his personal choices" not "your best interests".
      :l

      Answer me this… Who of the 4 people have any "executive" experience in this fight? Only 1… Not McCain, not Biden, and not even Barack. That would be Palin (SCORE). Ok, and what has Barack ever EVER done in his life, except write a book, and run for the Presidency….. NOTHING. Palin, a ton (SCORE). Read and learn someting about her, and quite being myrmidons and believing what people (MSN CNN) tell you to believe. Barack is completely Baseless, and void of anything. That man will destroy this country! And since he believes there are 57 states now (yes he said that recently). This election will be a landslide. McCain will win 50, but at least Barack Obama Momma will pick up the remaining 7. I sent my money in to McCain today! And I am so pumped about this pick in Palin (and I'm a Democrat, but I am learning things now). I will vote for that woman!

READ IT, and LEARN something! Look it up! McCain would have never picked her, unless he vetted her (look up the definiton of vetting)!!! Palin was a SLAM DUNK in this election! Even the Dumbocrats can't even come out against her! Experience?????? Does Barack even want to have this discussion????? No because he will lose it every time!

      So I've been reading these posts and this is what I think.
      1)McCain choosing this woman was an act of strategic DESPERATION. If he was going up an "experienced" candidate, would she have made the cut? No! When he saw the "experience" argument wasn't enough to steer away Obama he calls for the ringer.
      2) He LIES to the American people that he is going to find the most qualified Republican to be his VP, does she meet that criteria? NO! He only picks her b/c she's female… that's it. Since when does gender make you qualified for a position?
      3) The woman goes on National TV and says she knows NOTHING of what the VP does, Am I crazy… If someone has to explain to her the role of VP who's going to explain the role of PRESIDENT to her should McCain croak?-

      Thank you McCain for choosing the "most Qualified" Republican out there to be on your ticket. In an effort to win Hillary voters, the only one's you'll get are the one's that only want to see A woman in office not the one's that believed in Hillary and what she stood for.
      -
      Obama as "green" and "inexperienced" as he is, had the balls to challenge America to take back her country. I as a white female do strongly believe that if Obama was fully white, SOME of you out there would have taken to him instantly and say "he's young, hungry, a go getter, dynamic, fresh and exciting, He's rejuvenating the youth of America." The some I am refferring to of course are the ones determined to call him Osama.

      It's OK for people to vote their conscience I FULLY fupport that. That is why I never tell ANYONE who to vote for. The problem that exists today however is that so many young people are so oblivious to what's going on in this country and in this world that I think it necessary that people have all the accurate facts before casting such important decisions. Despite the fact that this is a celebrity blog, who here can say they haven't learned something they never knew before b/c they participated on this forum?

      Re: Minx – Obama could be my uncle, cousin, white, 50% black (which he is) or 100% black. It doesn't change his positions and beliefs. I have very strong disagreements with Obama on taxes, the war, global warming, his definition of abortion, his idea of nanny government, his constantly taking about how America is the bad guy in the world. This isn't a beauty contest. . Did you see his speech today? He went on and on about how the government wasn't giving you "this" and how the government wasn't doing "that" to make your life easier and blah blah blah. I don't need or want the government doing any of the things he's talking about.

    50. 850

      1of 2 posts….This is copy of a wonderful way to explain Palin’s remarks…Palin's comments on the Vice Presidency in the worst possible light.

      The reality is that the Constitution gives the Vice President exactly three duties: 1) Preside over the Senate; 2) Cast tie-breaking votes there; and 3) Help make the determination of whether the President is competent to remain as President.

      The reality is that since about Eisenhower, the Vice President has been a Minister Without Portfolio, doing various jobs for the President–including attending foreign funerals that the President would rather not attend.

      Starting with Jimmy Carter, the Vice Presidency was ramped up significantly. While Ford's Vice President, Nelson Rockefeller, was a former long-time governor of New York, Ford didn't use him for much. Mondale, for the first time, was assigned a West Wing office and no-appointment access to the President.

      The Carter model has followed in most succeeding administrations, though Reagan apparently did not rely on G.H.W. Bush as much as Carter relied on Mondale. As President, Bush41 gave Quayle no-appointment access but few significant portfolios.



    51. 851

      In many respects, both Presidents Clinton and Bush43 treated their Vice Presidents as partners–and both Al Gore and Dick Cheney have been directly involved in setting government policy.

      What Palin was saying, it seems to me, was "I don't want to be Vice President unless the President is going to give me significant policy roles. So I will want to see how the President-to-be defines the role of Vice President before I know whether I am interested."

      That, to me, seems not only reasonable, but admirable as a statement that she isn't in politics for the titles.

      Re: cyatic910 – POST 482 "why is he mocking…."
      You would have had a point under normal circumstances. We all know however that he did not pick her b/c he found her to be the MOST QUALIFIED ( his criteria) as promised. He Picked her because he was DESPERATE to not be coined as SAME OLD POLITICS. He chose her out of what he believes is a genius of a strategy. What it actually is, is a selfish act of desperation w/o regard to the American people. Going on his working definition of qualifications etc. hypothetically speaking if she and Barack were partnered on the same ticket he would mock them both and call them both underqualified.

      Hi Skittles! Post 856
      The one thing I loved about the framers of the Constitution is that they not only made the constitution a "living constitution" but they also defined the role of each office within government. As a person occupying a government position, Palin, should know the role each player has to play… sorry. She was dead serious when stating she didn't understand what the role of VP would be… furthermore since McCain met her ONCE before picking her she should have asked him what he was looking for before accepting the job and turned him down since she knew her reseume was light. She too is only in it to grab those Hillary voters, nothing else. If she cared so much about this she would have done her homework before making a rash decision.

      Re: Minx – Atleast we can say we know what we are getting with her. She will no doubt fill the position with a professional mindset and approach the job with the same ideals and effort that allowed her to rise to the top position in her home state. You can diminish her resume` and slam her for her honesty, but I can tell from your position, you are uneasy and it's for a reason. With that said, she is at the bottom of her ticket whereas the person lacking the experience is at the TOP of the other ticket. Completely different. Chew on that.

      I already did and as I said before Obama did not come in under false pretenses, she did. We knew what we were getting when Obama put himself out there. We knew he was green etc. but he won the DC nod despite all that and has progressed through sheer determination. She on the other hand would not have done what Barack did. No, she saw an opportunity and is riding on Hillary's coat tails and both of us know that if McCain did not blunder in attacking Obama's "experience" Palin would not have made the cut especially w/ the argument he made that he would find the MOST QUALIFIED. Chew on that : )

      Re: Minx – I apologize before I say this. I'm skeptical when you say you make that much money. If you did then you would feel a little more offended by the amount of money you give to Uncle Sam. Obama wants to double the capitol gains tax. If you have any investments, as you should if that is indeed your income, you no doubt understand the implications. Now maybe you are a little more giving than me. Way more giving. I however can't support Obama for that position.

    72. 872

      Re: Minx
      By that same idea, Obama chose a running mate that has been in the senate longer than McCain. I thought he was for change and getting out of old Washington politics? Yes, it was a strategic move by McCain, but i have to say, she still has more experience than Obama, and she's going for the VP spot. Just because Obama has been a senator for years doesn't count as experience. He's actually only shown up to work about 143 days. He's campaigned longer than he's been a senator. What do you think?

I have been waiting since 9-11-2001 for justice for my Uncle and cousin and that is why I have a serious bone to pick w/ McCain the one who said we can "muddle" through Afghanistan when he knew full well Bush's idea of winning the war on terror was just as unachievable as winning the war on drugs. Al qeada has been around since 1988, Washington trained Osama and armed him so Washington knew what it created hence my push for government accountability.

      Calculated move or not. You can complain all you want. You see, that's where Dems mess up. They pick the wrong weakness to exploit. She is the pick, no changing it now. It's reality. Now it's all about the selling. No one will be talking about the mechanisms that brought us the ticket in a week. Campaigns and news moves fast. It's already a non issue

      just like I believe that if we judged our politicians on their personal lives we'd have to fire 99% of them, I also believe that I'm happy he even showed up for 143 days. Do you know how many Senators collect a check and skip work? Try pulling the ticker on attendance for your Senator and see how many days he/ she actually "clocked in". It amazes me they can skip out for whatever reason but mangae to all miraculously manage to be on the clock when it comes time to vote on whether they should get a salary increase or not. THIS IS ALSO WHY I CALL FOR GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY.

      #879 Hi Minx,
      You say government accountability. Mr. Obama hung out at church for 20+ years and never heard any of the hate speech coming from there? He's is friends with William Ayers. He was in shady deal with a convicted slum lord. He has time and time again refused to speak or clarify any of this. I remember when he said he'd bring the troops home in 6 months. I'm in the military and am telling you, there is no way he could do that even if he tried. I admit, Mr. McCain has also made mistakes, but has publicly said he screwed up. All i want to see is the debates, I think once and for all people will be able to more clearly see ALL the candidates.

      Touche`- Just checking.
      We happen to disagree on the war and whether or not we are winning the battle. Probably a moot point for us to discuss. Neither of us will change the others mind. However, if you want to go back to 1988, then we would be holding Bill Clinton responsible equally as much as Bush. Like I said, we will agree to disagree.

      No Skittles you know I don't play dirty unless forced to. You know how much this matters to me. The question was to paraphrase if McCain calls you up and say Palin would you take up the mantle of VP would you consider it? She laughed and answered "No. I'm an Alaskan yadda yadda and besides I can't imagine what the role of VP is, I'm a get a go have to work work kind of person, I can't twiddle my thumbs." Something to that effect. I told you yesterday I would research her and I'm still doing so the more I do however the more uncertain I am of her. We can agree to disagree as we always do, no hard feelings :)

      Cyatic … what is this nonsense?
      You're pregnant … you carry your child for weeks … you want a child. Everything seems fine and you feel great: you're gonna have a baby! At some point during your pregnancy your Ob/Gyn informs you that you've reached the stage where it's safe to perform a prenatal screening without endangering your unborn and you agree … the results come back: your child has DS.

      What does that have to do with pro-choice and/or pro-life?

      It's devastating news to any mother and a decision has to be made. You order a second test and that came back positive too … your kid is sick.

      "By that same idea, Obama chose a running mate that has been in the senate longer than McCain. I thought he was for change and getting out of old Washington politics?"
      Yes but you see Obama heard people's concerns and considered the peoples concerns of him being green and sought to ease that fear by choosing a parachute that did not support him in the beginning. With Obama at the helm the likeliness of him craoking of Natural causes are extremely low he had the balls to put himself out on that limb.
      McCain on theother hand at 72 didn't weigh such decisions when he chose Palin. He did it for the good of McCain not the good of the country considering the criteria he said he would use to choose a VP. In essence McCain Lied to the American people… point blank.

      92% of parents decide to abort; even the pro-life ones! Ask yourself why …
      DS is a terrible condition … don't assume that what you see on TV is the norm. It's the rare exception and that's why it's on TV. The cruel reality of DS is hidden and not in the public eye. Some suffer terribly and die as children, many are stricken by various life-threatening diseases, most are mentally challenged and can't live without constant care while hidden away in homes waiting to be adopted, and their life expectancy is cut in half … and there is more … DS is a terrible condition. What you see on TV does not reflect the norm … when you work with DS children you only work with the ones who are able to socially interact; you just don't get to see the ones who aren't. My heart goes out to all patients suffering from DS in its various forms.
      Sarah Palin was well aware of the risks and 92% decided that this is too much to bear for a human being … Sarah Palin disagrees - she decided to have a child with DS and all that comes with it. He may go to high school one day, if he hasn't died from a failing heart … and his mother got one too.

      Skittles you know I will never take that away from McCain. I am honored he out his life on the line for this country. My bone with him is agreeing w/ Bush to start an illconcieved war w/ iraq while troops were to "muddle through" Afghanistan, ill equipped desperate to bring to justice the man actually responsible for 9-11. We all also know Bush is not the smartest crayon in the box, with that said why did McCain shift from being an independent thinker in his party to indulging Bush's no sensical whims 90% of the time. This is the issue I have w/ McCain and this is why I think that if he stays in office he will focus on War w/ Iran ( as he already hinted) while telling us he has no clue about healthcare nor the economy. His words not mine.

      Please research this for yourself. This is an over-statement by Obama and you are buying into his rhetoric. If you look deeper you will find that McCain only voted with Bush on key issues 21 out of 32 times. The figure gets inflated by meaningless legislation that everyone votes yea on. What is Obama's voting record with Bush?

      Charles A. Dana, a New York City newspaper editor, gave it that name….when the 1893 Chicago World's Columbia Expo was used as city politicos to hype Chicago. The politicians' claims, regarding the Expo,… were so boastful and overblown that Dana nicknamed Chicago "the Windy City".

      I never do personal lives of politicians (see post 882 on why)
      If you want to travel down that slippery slope look at McCain's own pastor Hagee who stated that Hitler was fulfilling God's will. Look at Palin who supports Creationism (which is fine, her choice) but I don't even want to entertain the Scopes Monkey trial debacle all over again along w/ Roe v. Wade. Creationists are pushing to have the Bible brought back into schools ( intellgent design argument) , I am very sorry but I would rather educate my children (when I have them) myself when it comes to religion… Skittles, now do you see why she makes me uncertain?

      So what exactly is your argument or point? I guess i'm not understanding. Are you saying that she is cruel for taking a chance and having her child? So is your argument that anybody that suffering should be put out of their misery, or just unborn children? I'm not try to be sarcastic, just want some clarity.
