Re: harrybalsac –

Obama is going to win this…it is only a matter of time before McCain/Palin crash and burn.
Perez when are you going to put up a pic of Obama w/ a watermelon? That's what I thought!
HaHa! Love the picture!!!!
Not a bad look for him
And I understand the comment of Barak!
Nice try Obama. Keep digging yourself deeper.
Re: harrybalsac – did you see how i stood up for you?

Perezzze - Please tell your advertisers that I DO check out their websites, and have bought t-shirts, etc.
love the pig noses…… you should put a police cap on him for next pig nose picture
OBAMA '08!!!!!
Well, too bad for OBAMA. The REPUBLICANS want the USA to be as DUMB as POSSIBLE, since they COMMUNICATE better with MORONS then the DEMOCRATS. The DEMOCRATS seem too INTELLECTUAL for the AVERAGE voter. The country will get the PRESIDENT it DESERVES.
they both are gonna take low blows to eachother!!!
so im sure theres more to come!!
TELL THEM LIKE IS….I LOVE BARAK OBAMA !!!!!!!!
"You can put lipstick on a pig -
it's still a pig."

"You can wrap a piece of old fish

it's still gonna stink!"

Exact quotes from BARACK OBAMA
This makes me sick. This man was tortured for over 5 years serving your country and once he was released, he hard worked through physical therapy to get his flight status back so that he could continue serving your country. And you deface this picture this way? Go ahead and talk shit about his politics if you don't agree. Vote for the other guy if you want. But disrespecting him in this way is so messed up.
IT WAS BRILLIANT! SUCKED TO HAVE HIM RIGHT DOWN THE ROAD FROM MY HOUSE SPEAKING AND I COULDN'T BE THERE! OBAMA 08!!

"an innocent remark" - so cynical. is the assumption that voters are stupid enough to believe there was NO REFERENCE INTENDED to palin with the pig in lipstick remark!
.
he thinks your stupid, people
Barack and Perez. Two brain deads.
Re: harrybalsac – whats this thing about blacks and watermelons??? i never got it.
Perez, you are brilliant. Your traffic must be up ten fold because of these political posts. Good job.
Re: harrybalsac –
mama must be so proud of you
Don't go buying a pig in a poke this election year, folks! Andy, don't go poking any pigs, either…
Re: secondcoming – i mean "you're"
good that you put lipstick on McCain, because he is no longer a man. He's a wuss hiding behind a skirt. Old fart should just croak!
;(
I'm glad he stood up for himself. And he is right. There are so many serious issues at hand. Definitely more important then this he said she said bullshit. Why can't people just see that?
Meltdown! Barry is crashing and burning. Change??? Seems like standard old politics to me.
you go boy! luv you! xoxo Vote Obama 2008 !!

the only pig barack needs to be concerned with is HIS WIFE!!

Re: —-Beam–Me–Up–Snottie—- – sad but true.
Amen! He is the only one talking about the issues!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: —-Beam–Me–Up–Snottie—- – woops! sad BUT true.
Enough already Perez! Time to post your Photoshopped mug up with the pig snout and lipstick. Pig snouts are the new black!
It was an irresponsible thing to say; what was he thinking? I want a president I can respect. I've yet to see that from ANY of these candidates. Nov. 4th is going to be a confusing day. It makes me sad how these grown people who want to be the leader of the free world act as soon as they're given a microphone and a camera is in front of them.
WOW.. This is what poilitics have come to in our country.. So respectful to a man who fought for the US.. For Liberals to be all about "peace", you sure do talk alot of shit!
i don't like obama but what he said was well put. kindof funny too.
lol perfect pic to represent him!
*OBAMA 08*
It's not that pig of a deal (oops I mean big) that he made the comment cause I have a sense of humor but he WAS referring to Palin and Mccain and he should just admit that it was and say he didn't mean it personally he was just making a joke, instead he tries to back track. I hate when politicians are to chicken shit to just stand up for what they say and believe.
You know… Obama supporters get so upset about when one little thing is said negative and accuse McCains supporters of bashing. But Obama supporters are the one who are bashing everything. They bash on McCain for everything and McCain supports. I have never seen so evil and idiotic things said between people on here. Perez its getting to the point where I dont even want to visit your site because of how much your supporting Obama and getting stupid idiots to follow your ideas.
I'm not even going to watch
…I don't give 100 fukz what obama racizt haz to say…
fuk him
and the horze
he rode in on
from the Middle Eazttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
mccainz going to win] eat it]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]
The remark reminds me the Obama is just a T.F.N. in other words TYPICAL FUCKING N—–! More votes out the window for him and in the bag for Palin- I lOVE IT!!!
FYI: Photo above is NOT photoshopped! LMAO
That is an old expression used frequently in prior campaigns, both republican and democratic. He's not calling Mc Cain a pig.
If the Repubs are gonna dish it out, they need to stop whining every time they are
called into question. Unfortunatley the whining has created a distraction for them, so voters don't focus on their lack of vision and policy change.
PEErez, what the hell is up with all the political postings lately? Its getting a little old. I come here to get away from that crap. Stop it or I am gonna have to come over there and slap the ugly off of Teddy.
Re: MaggieMay003 – OMG get over it, he was a wuss that got caught. who cares get over it, it was like over a million yrs ago. WHO FUCKIN cares. what about all the slaves that got tortured, raped and murdered over 200 years ago. now thats torture. gimem a break screw him and his old hairy white ass
Re: above and beyond –
Oh, because you were going to vote for him in the first place, right?
FUCK OFF YOU MORON! AND YOU ARE TRASH!
Wow, all the crap you write about him only makes me more eager to vote for him.
McCain/Palin 08 Baby!
Alot of you idiots have no respect for our military and our veterans. MCCAIN is a veteran of this country and you disrespect the man by doing this to his picture. What a fucking idiot you are Perez, I dont see your gay ass out there in Iraq and Afghani getting shot at 24/7, you have norespect or love for this country, my country. And alot of you who think this picture is funny dont either. Fuckign hippies, I would liek to see Osama win so he can withdrawl the troops and bring this war here hahahaha nice to see another repeat of 9/11 you fucking morons. Perez go back to wherever the fuck your from, I dont even know but I know ur fat ass is Hispanic, so am I but the difference is I serve my country I give your fatass the freedom to sit here and post rude pictures about a fellow AMERICAN. I have gotten shot at millions of times. I fight so that alot of you can sit here and disrespect an AMERICAN. How sad that alot of you dont really care for this country.
PEREZ I DON'T THINK YOU'RE HELPING THE DEMOCRATS BY PUBLISHING THIS STUPID PHOTOSHOP, WHY NOT JUST PUT THE VIDEO ON THE FRONT PAGE, AS MOST PPL CAN'T BE BOTHERED TO CLICK ON THE LINK, YOU ARE RUINING THE DEMOCRATS CHANCES.
BARACK OBAMA DOES NOT DESERVE TO BE TREATED LIKE THIS.
PLEASE PPL WATCH THE CLIP.
How sad that we have to waste our time listening to explanations about an innocent comment. anyone with half a brain knows he wasn't making a personal dig at Palin… come on McCain, don't you have anything better than that?!?
Obama-Biden '08
wtf?????
fuck Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
he should have known what the reaction would be.
.
just so many errors in judgement, does not bode well…
I was a Hillary supporter but I have grown to really like this guy, I like that he cuts out all the bs and keeps it real. God I hope he wins!!!
Re: Uker – pls use more caps
Now you've got it right Perez!
Re: kmp –
it's an old expression used in the midwest. He is in no way calling the senator a pig.
If he wanted to strike a blow he'd point out that McCain is a dinasaur and doesn't own a computer and has no idea how to turn on "the internets" which requires turning on most computers.
There are plenty of cheap shots that could easily be made, but Senator Obama is focused on policy. He won't jump in the mud with the republicans. I wish he would, there is sooo much material!
let's see…. God Perez… I think you like the pig nose thing….so much like you and no photo-shopping needed FOR YOUR OWN PIC!!! LOL
"John McCain says he's about change too, and so I guess his whole angle is, 'Watch out George Bush — except for economic policy, health care policy, tax policy, education policy, foreign policy and Karl Rove-style politics — we're really going to shake things up in Washington,'" he said.
"That's not change. That's just calling something the same thing something different. You know you can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig. You know you can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called change, it's still going to stink after eight years. We've had enough of the same old thing."
The Illinois senator then praised both McCain's "compelling story" and Palin's "interesting story," and said his "hat goes off" to anyone who's looking after five kids — "I've got two and they tire Michelle and me out. …
"That's why John McCain's campaign manager [Rick Davis] said this campaign isn't going to be about issues, this campaign is going to be about personalities."
Re: secondcoming – Who is stupid??? Read your own comment, moron. Can you find the problem? Didn't think so…
That speech is why Obama needs to be prez. It's so true. OPEN YOUR FRIGGN' EYES AMERICA…..DAMN!!
Mccain made the same reference about the lipstick and the pig when he was going at Hillary. It's a term that's been used before and maybe he did mean it as a shot against Palin but it is an old reference and who the hell cares anyways. I doubt he would disrespect Palin by calling her a pig.
The lipstick comment was unnecessary. Obama had to have known people would take it as an insult. McCain did use the same phrase, but the way he said came across as an attack on policy not Hillary. Obama is sly though. He knew that he could get away with this remark and then shrug it off as a common phrase, clever, he is.
Everyone needs to understand that EVERY politician no matter what party, has their own self-serving agenda, yes, even OBAMA! Grow up! Go read some books on political science, rather than rely on biased news outlets for your information.
Hillary should have been on his ticket as veep, but instead, he picked Biden who got like 1% of the vote when he ran against Obama and Hillary in the primaries. I guess 18 Million votes from Hillary's supporters are looking really good right about now to the Obama camp. Also, overturning Roe v. Wade? That is a scare tactic. Bush could have done that already, he hasen't. Get a clue people. Make your own choice on who to support.
WHY is OBAMA the ONLY one willing to discuss the ISSUES?
I agree with the man 100% and all this other circus nonsense is supposed to distract us from what really matters. THANK YOU PEREZ for POSTING this.
Now, I guess people will also brush up on their Political jargon and stop being so damn sensative considering the statement was not a/b Palin and for those that insist on that point your political ignorance speaks for itself since McCain and Bush hae also used that very expression.
This is a distraction, this is a cheap ploy by the Republicans to take the heat off of Palin.
____________________________
We'll see how well they'll fare when it comes to the live debates. Maybe it's about time the Republicans started hitting the issues that America cares about and stops slinging mud at the Dems; they've made this such a dirty campaign and it's doing nothing but hurting America and fueling hatred across party lines.
OBAMA '08
It wasn't the first time Obama used the line. In a phone interview with The Washington Post last September, he used it in reference to the situation in Iraq.
"I think that both Gen. [David] Petraeus and Ambassador [Ryan] Crocker are capable people who have been given an impossible assignment," Obama told the Post. "George Bush has given a mission to Gen. Petraeus, and he has done his best to try to figure out how to put lipstick on a pig."
Other politicians have also used the phrase in recent years, including Vice President Dick Cheney, Sen. Maria Cantwell of Washington state, Sen. James Inhofe of Oklahoma, Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Rep. John Mica of Florida and Rep. Tom Tancredo of Colorado, among others.
Torie Clarke, a former McCain adviser, even wrote a book called, "Lipstick on a Pig: Winning In the No-Spin Era by Someone Who Knows the Game."
Still, the McCain campaign says Obama's use was intentional, and they want an apology.
Re: LatinDaddy –
HAHAHA do yo even know what you are saying, callate la boca puneta. So because of this slave crap we should give Osama a chance at running our country hahaha pendejo.
Oh, and people: quit your bitching about the photo of McCain posted above. If you think Perez photoshopped it himself, you're more stupid than you sound on this message board. He backed himself into this pigpen and thus opened himself, and his party, open to criticism for being such whiney little babies who will make a fuss out of nothing to avoid the real issues at hand.
Well, well, well, Obama really stuck his foot in his mouth on this one. If Sarita never made the "lipstick" comment in the first place it would not have been as much of an issue. But seeing that she did it was directed at her as far as I am concerned. He should have known that this would blow up in his face. Also the crowd he was speaking too laughed at it. They too knew who he was referring to. What I don't like is that in the past if anyone said anything negative about Obama they were labled racist., (ie Geraldine Ferraro) now the shoe is on the other foot. Anything said against Sarita could be called sexist. Obamas camp started that shit so how do they like it now. Nuf Said
MCCAIN PALIN 08
McCain used the same comment a while back talking about one of Hillary Clinton proposals so why the McCain/Palin side is getting all bent out fo shape is beyond me. They are a bunch of whiney babies who can dish it but can't take it. Do we really want whiney babies running the country!!!????
Re: KitKat1 –
Post 68
While I respect your opinion I disagree with your 99.9% of your argument. If Palin took offense to a common political jargon then she's silly. McCain used the same statement to describe Hillary's h/c plan and SHE understood the jargon was not a sexist jab at her. Pitbull has tough skin she doesn't need to be handled w/ kid gloves. As for Roe V. Wade Bush doesn't have the Supreme court tipped to his favor to overturn it. However, if McCain wins and seats 3 the scales will be tipped and McCain says he intends to seat PROLIFE justices. Only 28% of the Democratic party supported a Obama/ Clinton ticket AND I DO AGREE that PEOPLE SHOULD PICK FOR THEMSELVES WHO THEY WANT AS PRESIDENT.Obama is right ENOUGH of the smoke and mirrors get to the ISSUES!

How is this comment toward SARAH? Here's the comment:""John McCain says he's about change too, and so I guess his whole angle is, 'Watch out George Bush — except for economic policy, health care policy, tax policy, education policy, foreign policy and Karl Rove-style politics — we're really going to shake things up in Washington–"That's not change. That's just calling something the same thing something different. You know you can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig. You know you can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called change, it's still going to stink after eight years. We've had enough of the same old thing."
Re: Jennbeeotch – i found obama's problem… his train is wrecking due to, among others- palin bashing, cynicism, errors in judgement
Peresito,
I really want to see what you look like with the pig nose on. Please?????
This is absolutly terrible. I can't even look at this.
This gusy is a lieing sack of shit…he makes me physically ill…everything he says are lies, especially6 the part of his reference to a pig wearing lipstick as non offensive……just as he and all of his supporteres giggled when he mentioned it before his lieing sermon. Check out all of his lies…McCain is and has put more money in the schools, as did Palin in Alaska(especially for special needs) McCain has approved federal spending for medical care for veterans……YES
Perez cut out half of my previous post…why, PIGEZ….Obama getting you some new lipstick?
that is a funny picture
OBAMA! All the way!!!
Re: Minx – he grabbed palin's "lipstick"- impossible to think nobody would sense a reference to her. he thinks we're stupid if he wants us now to believe there was ZERO reference intended.
Re: RashManly – You bet those are the exact words from Obama. You know where he got them in the first place? The Old Man who said 'em first — MCCAIN. McCain said them in direct comment to business Hillary Clinton was proposing last year. Oh, yeah, and the "swift boat" stuff was used by a group of Republican Right Wingers against John Kerry in '05. How quickly the fucking Republicans forget.
Re: Minx –
This is the thing. People need to stop treating any of these candidates with kid gloves. In the beginning, if anyone even dared to question anything Obama said, that person was immediately labeled as a racist. Which is as ridiculous as being accused as a sexist. OK, say he just meant it as a common phrase, it doesn't take away from the fact that women - Palin included, will face even more scrutiny because she is a WOMAN, regardless of her politics.
Another problem is that all the liberal women are saying Hillary was totally experienced and able to handle the job, and Palin is not. Yet Hillary is not even on the ticket. Why keep talking about Hillary????? If she had gotten the nomination and didn't pick Obama as veep, you know everyone would be in an uproar. If she is sooooo qualified, why was she passed over. I have an issue with that.
Don't put all the blame on the Republicans, there is PLENTY of corruption with the Democrats.
By the way, Obama is on the O'Reilly show again tonight.
Re: Seriously –
That's funny, because as it's now being reported info has leaked that Ms. Palin cut funding for special needs kids by 60%. HOW IRONIC.
You know, that picture enlarged and copied would make a great Halloween mask !!!!
Re: kmp – Maybe he deserves a halo like Bab's pic? Yeah, he's a war hero, but that war was thirty-odd years ago…any of his kids/grandkids repeat the heroics in Irak? Didn't think so…
McCain/Palin '08. They're ahead in the polls. Keep it up.
Are you just looking for space filler or are you a typical liberal that can't think of anything new to slam against the Reps so he just repeats himself? BORING perez, get new material. You already reported this, are you that dense?
i totally support obama but i do agree that justt the video should be posted. short adn to the point
Its not that he viciously called Governor Palin a pig, or Senator McCain a smelly old fish. It is the timing of it all. Ronald Reagan even used that pig and lipstick line! The kicker was the reaction that crowd gave when he said it, and his demeanor to their reaction. That shows me that THEY took it that way. Biden made a pig in lipstick reference too. I could care less that they said it. He is playing the same old political mudslinging game. Thought he was about change????? Seems the same to me. And I want to puke every time I hear the MORONIC line "Jesus was a community organizer; Pontius Pilate was a Governor". Every Liberal that uses that line is a hypocrite because they are bringing Jesus into the mix. Funny, in the past few days the big brouhaha was how Governor Palin references God. You can't have it both ways people!
PEREZ YOU FUCKTARD THAT NOSE LOOKS JUST LIKE YOURS!
Re: Armychick – It's a fine thing, that you're in the service. But you're fighting to keep the streets safe for democracy or something like that, right? Like it or not, part of that freedom includes drawing pig-snouts on Republican candidates. Your commander in chief is still Geo Bush - to your sense of duty, he's untouchable. McCain isn't.
At ease, Ms Thing, and while you're at it, ease up on the racial slurs…Perez may be a prick, but leave the Hispanic part aside…lots of those are your brothers/sisters in arms.
Re: Armychick – Fuck off, you whining illiterate cunt.
I just spewed my Diet Coke all over my computer laughing my ass off at the pic!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: Seriously –
Post 82
That post on McCain is complete HOGWASH. If McCain voted for vets then the RNC crasher that held that sign up would not have been so angry with McCain.
Google McCain votes against vets and go to the SENATE voting records. McCain has never delivered on his promise to vets on this and this is also why soldiers support Obama over McCain 6-1 SERIOUSLY. For those interested in true FACTS and not smoke and mirrors will google that AS well.
"McCain votes against vets"
Soldiers support Obama over McCain 6-1
