AND IF THIS WERE HIS RUNNING MATE, SHE’D STILL BE THE MORE QUALIFIED BITCH

yay!
There’s some truth to this lol.
A dog is more qualified than Obama.
you either really are that stupid,
or your just really not funny at all.
by bitch theyre refering to Sarah Palin,
the woman who values life,
but enjoys an occational hunting trip.
Well, that’s the second bitch in this thread. Bitch.
Too funny. She thinks babies should live and moose should die. Obama thinks the opposite. The dog is prob more qualified then Barry. He’s taking a nose-dove right now, and they’re trying to take it out on her. HA.HA.HA.
Losers
Sofa King We Todd Did
Ime Sofa King We Todd Did
ATHF reference WIN!
Nuuu…Palin doesn’t want to kill babies. She wants to kill people who don’t have the same definition of baby as she does.
is a fetus a baby? i thought it was a fetus. hum… does god think it is okay to kill moose for fun? hum… i guess i had all those morals are mixed up.
You can apparently kill a baby if you call it something else, but I don’t think God cares if you off a moose
Actually, you have no idea what God thinks. What you have is faith. Prove your faith is fact without using your religious text. You cannot, hence the word faith. Point is, God gets to decide who is right and who is wrong. In some cases, society has obvious answers, in others it doesn’t. Free societies allow individuals to decide areas where the impact is questionable, according to their conscience, allowing God to ajudicate their decisions. The problem with people like you… you want to pretend you are God and in a position to judge those less moral than you.
That is perhaps the only intelligent comment here.
Ok, well I think its the least intelligent comment on here. I don’t believe in god because if there was someone that stupid to NOT use their “power” to fix it than they have some serious issues. Religion is just a way to control people and a way to make them fearful of something that does not exist – god.
and go Obama 08! Palin is a scary bitch, and the image above is right, the dog is more qualified than Palin. What a nut job.
This country’s motto is “In God We Trust”
you must be anti-American.
No wonder you are voting for Obama
I hope this is sarcasm? If not this is sort of sad.
And in fact, the country’s motto is “E Pluribus unum” or, “Out of many, One.”
lolz yea and its talking about Obama’s wife not palin…..
I beleive a person just failed.
This is exactly the kind of stupidity and faulty logic that is trademark of the right wing crazies. Either get your facts straight or just shut up.
This is exactly what I wish more people of faith would understand. No one really knows what God thinks, if anything like that really exists. People can point to personal beliefs and experiences or to supposedly revealed texts, but I think if we really want to know what God thinks we have to look at the universe, laws of physics, things that are real. If there is a God, and it created the universe, then I think we can find out at least as much about that God through science than we can through storytelling and human moralizing.
THANK YOU
So, Charlie, you didn’t answer the question – does your god care if a human who doesn’t need it for food (society raises and kills plenty of animals for food every day, and Palin can afford to buy it) offs a wild, free-living moose that owes nothing to humans for its existence?
you sound really smart
Yes, but the thing is she doesn’t hunt humans. If we were made to be herbavores, then we wouldn’t have canine teeth.
Obviously reading comprehension isn’t one of your strong points. It’s OK, you’re a conservative, so that’s a bonus!
Dog or b1tch, both are more qualified than an empty suit.
Well, I think that we all know how you stand, but how is that linked to this lol?
Duh.
If the dog was Obama’s running mate, she’d still be more qualified to be President than Obama himself. Just like Joe Biden.
And since Palin is more qualified than Obama, if the dog is more qualified than Palin, well…
Little white poodle for president 2008! I think that’s the only logical step now
Why not Yoda?
Because Yoda might possibly be the only person(thing) whose english is worse then Bush’s
As Yoda would say:
“Make Fun of me you do – Mmm, bitchslap you I will, yes, powerful bitchslap”
Hee hee. Ever heard of Jean Chretien?
Of course, he had an excuse. His English was just as bad as his French. Dunno what Dion’s excuse is, though.
But then, I can’t speak French, so I really have no right to laugh at either of ‘em.
But I’d sooner see the little white poodle for PM than what we have now, and I don’t care if he can’t speak ANY damn language!
Oh, I get it… not only do you have poor reading comprehension, but no sense of logic, either.
You’re just sore because your candidate is a loser.
Should have picked a better one, like Hillary.
I think you need to loosen your hat.
Or maybe we can just reduce hat-education funding, and just tell people not to wear them.
Better yet, ban hats!
Hats are normally banned in schools.
Well, by the mother of God, we’ve got a precedent!
That… actually could be sort of scary, if you think about it. Slippery slope and all that nonsense.
Then we need to add asshats to the list of contraband
if he was a loser, then why did he win?
“Empty suit”?
Bitch, please: if you listen to 10 minutes of McCain vs. 10 minutes of Obama, it’s painfully crystal-clear that Obama is intelligent, informed, well-spoken (I put that one in for you, George), genuine, and is a true leader. HAVE you stopped to listen to both of them?
The man had the smarts and the gonads to vote against the Iraq war when anyone with a half-functioning brain KNEW there was no excuse for us to do so. That one vote speaks MOUNTAINS.
And yes, Hilary voted FOR the war; she’s a brilliant woman, and I’m sure she knew the war was bullshit, but she wanted to keep her career more than she wanted to do the right thing.
Either McCain was too stupid to know better, or his ambitions got in the way of his morals, as they seem to be doing increasingly of late. Which pisses me off, because I used to like McCain. >:( Now he’s playing the same tune as the rest of them.
I totally agree with you.. I guess this isn’t the right place for a properpolitical debate, but anyways, glad you said i
you are smart
right on.
all that passion and not a single bit of knowledge. you sound more like some sort of deep south preacher than anything.
“all that passion and not a single bit of knowledge.”
Wow, whole lot of Pot and Kettle, here.
Anyone is more qualified than Obama!
Timely.. And ridiculous. Bravo good sir!
I thought democrats were supposed to be tolerant and open. Yet, truthfully, you are all racist and sexist. Here is a tid bit of actual truth you may enjoy. — USA Today/Gallup Poll — Sept. 7th — Likely Voters — Palin/McCain 54%, Obama/Biden 44%. Oh yeah.
Polls don’t get to people who only use cell phones – most younger people nowadays
younger people who only use cell phones don’t vote in large humbers, hisrtorically, and are the most dangerous because they don’t study issues – they just believe the hate-mongering crap sites like this spit out
Wow. Way to stereotype. Well, this younger-person-that-only-uses-a-cell-phone-and-DOES-study-the-issues will be voting this election, as I’ve done in EVERY election since I was 18. Sheesh.
I would tend to agree with you, speaking from experience that is.
The polls I looked at from Gallup show a pretty tight race. I don’t know where you got your figures, but I think they’re a bit skewed. Now, I support McCain and would be stoked if these numbers were correct. But truthfully, I don’t see McCain being up that much.
Racism, sexism and bigotry in general is all about judging an entire group of people based on the supposed actions of a few members of that group. Like for example claiming that Democrats are racist and sexists because a handful of people you assume are Democrats post a sexist image.
Thanks for showing us how it’s done.
Oh, so your tagline is a lie. You are not an independent voter at all.
Yeah, and the GOP is so openminded, gender-equal, and tolerant of other races and religions. I didn’t even see a white person at the GOP convention between all the blacks, asians, and latinos that were present. I sure would hate for Obama to get elected and risk throwing away all of the social harmony that the Neo-Cons and Religious right have so caringly cultivated.
Ignore the man behind the curtain. I the Great Oz Demand it!!!
Larry Wilmore, a talented black comedian who’s been on the Daily Show, did a fantastic piece (which I can’t seem to find online) walking through the RNC. As he passed a black guy in the hall during the convention, he gave him a look and said, “what are YOU doing here?!”
Independent Voter, you may want to rethink that. Are you aware that NOTHING obama or biden has said is sexist!! For god’s sakes they stated they were impressed with her political skills, her oratory skills, etc. She knows how to speak, only problem is her policies are borderline fascist, she lies outright when factcheck.org (NON PARTISAN). And before you open your mouth and prove what a naive numbskull you really are, please do some of your own research, a hypocrite is a hypocrite, and just remember, she was for the bridge before she was against it. Not to mention she is for the bridge to a small city for a small $600 million earmark, which money can go to improve the CURRENT roads in Alaska which are some of the worst maintained in the nation. Next moronic republican to bring up the lipstick on the pig and call it racist is 1) twisting an old metaphor which has NOTHING to do with sex (last time I checked the derrogatory use of a pig is usually a man or a cop), but also a hypocrite. McCain used the SAME DAMN metaphor when attacking Clintion’s policies, very recently. And, it’s on tape. Republicans had NO problem being sexist when they were attacking Hilary. And the troopergate thing being partisan? Last time I checked it was the GOP that opened the investigation, shit, there goes that theory. And that giving away toasters, jeez that’s a 2nd grade rebuttal to a college-level statement. What a comeback, but that’s republicans of recent, instead of answering the question, they divert it. This isn’t all partisan politics I’m speaking of, it’s FACT. If you can disprove pretty much ANYTHING I have stated, I will personally apologize and vote for McCain. Don’t think that’s gonna happen, so go for it. McCan/Palin ‘08, leaders of the new Fascist party.
FYI, Karl Rove, of all people, is criticizing McCain/Palin for stating outright LIES in their smear commercials, now THAT’s the pot calling the kettle black. Oh wait, I said black, go ahead and call me a racist. Actually, you’ll probably condone that racism since Alan Keyes isn’t on the ticket. Then again, I bet you don’t even know who Mr. Keyes is, do you.
You may now crawl into your little hole.
doesn’t exactly matter, now does it.
Some REALLY hilarious comments on this – it really made me laugh! I just can’t help but notice that with very few exceptions, Republicans have NO sense of humor, especially when it gets sophisticated or leaves the beaten track.
IT’S A JOKE, SON!!
*poke* *poke*
does any one have any lipstick? i think this photo is missing something.
I think we’re all missing the real point here and that is… Why the hell was this picture ever even taken?
LOL! Exactly! What the heck is he doing holding a bichon frieze?
Ahahaha
You know what the joke is here?
Liberal Tolerance.
(Excluding people Jane can think of)
how so?
Calling a woman a ‘bitch’ is a sexist slur which liberals would normally condemn — but they drop this principle when it comes to conservative women.
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiighht…
Thus the popularity amongst Hilary supporters of Tina Fey’s “Bitch is the New Black” segment.
SOrry but as a woman I think any woman who forces rape victims to pay for their own rape exam is a bitch. Period.
Then it’s a good thing that Sarah Palin didn’t do that.
Are there any more false smears you’d like to share with us? That her son is really her grandson, or that her children are on drugs?
I am so tired of hearing this one. Please click my name to see this one debunked. People, she is not the troglodyte you are trying to make her out to be!
But repeating the same garbage about Obama’s patriotism, his religion, or the character of a guy he met a few times (Ayers) is perfectly all right? You may not personally be responsible for this sort of hypocrisy, but you certainly don’t stand against it.
well said, herb, well said.
The same way I don’t see you standing against the outright lies against Palin.
Starting next macro, I’ll try to keep my side in check if you do the same with yours. Fair?
I think I’ve been pretty good lately, except maybe for today a little. But this lol was really over the line. And I hate to see anyone on here called a racist when we all know they aren’t. But, ok that’s fair.
Ah, sorry to contradict you guys, but there actually is some
truth to that rumor. True, Palin didn’t put that law into effect, she’s
certainly not the one blame for it’s conception but she IS indirectly
responsible for the charges victims were required to pay while she
was in office without making any attempt or consideration for a repeal.
Forgive me if this seems like a radical notion, but giving the
taxpayers a break is not a justified excuse to keep that kind of law in
effect. As a tax payer I’m going to go right ahead and say that a
circumstance needing medical intervention,like rape examination, is
exactly the kind of thing our tax money should be going to.
Politicians will bitch and moan about poor budget utilization or
underfunding, yet somehow they still manage to find just enough
to put metal statues of dead people all over the country.
UMMMM!!! You said ‘conception’!!
Which is at the heart of the rape kit issue. If the state
pays for the rape kit, it also provides the option of contraception
to the victim. Palin doesn’t believe in that, so by not paying
for the kits, ‘her’ state isn’t ‘providing abortions’ to traumatized
women. Merely traumatizing them further.
Not an american, so not really folowing the american election (we in canada have our own election to deal with), but in regards to abortion, I believe that RAPE should be one of those few times where the christian god should not mind abortion. I mean rape is not something the woman chose, it is not her fault some prick decided to do that to her. and for that god would want both the woman and the child punished? Fundamentalist in ANY religion are scary. If you worship that kind of god, it says something about you, I think. If she believe abortion or the morning after pill or any contraceptive is wrong in regards to rape she should not be in office. Just my 2 cents.
“Rape kit” usually means the equipment that the cops use to collect evidence (biological samples) after a rape.
If Alaska for some reason also included a dose of RU-486 in the kit (which would be really, really cool) it would simple enough for women who didn’t want it to not take it. If Palin just really can’t stand the idea of rape victims getting emergency contraceptives, then the RU-486 (which probably isn’t in there in the first place) could just be removed from the kits.

**eyeroll**dumbass**sigh**
Quote from woman to John McCain:
“How do we beat the bitch?” (Obviously, this refers to Hillary.)
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/14/us/politics/14mccain.html?_r=1&ref=politics&oref=slogin
I realize it says he seemed uncomfortable with the question, but he did answer it nonetheless.
As a feminist, I have a problem with *any women* being a called a “bitch”.
(But I also had a problem with the GOP always referring to Hillary Clinton by sexist terms and thinking it was ok, but now all of a sudden acting like feminists because they have Palin. Hypocrites)
I honestly can’t think of one picture that has been on this front wall that has said something similar about a liberal person.
Closest thing would be the one with Oprah with Michelle staring here down.
I find it slightly offensive they are calling a successful governor a bitch. But it isn’t going to be the highlight of my day or anything.
Juast add it to the long list of sexist slurs and smears by liberals on this site. They love to attack Cindy McCain, George Bush’s wife, Sarah Palin’s daughter …
Waaaaaahmbulance.
Touche.
Liberals can’t stand even-odds- they lose every time !
:eyeroll:
It’s true.
That’s why Democrat-supporting groups like ACORN are often convicted for voter fraud. Obama has worked closely with ACORN, and tried to hide an $800,000 payment to the group a few weeks ago.
Without voting fraud, many Democrats wouldn’t even have a chance.
With unbiased oversight and full vote counts, neither would Repubs.
Haha. Touche.
Sweet, does that mean an independent has a chance?
yea, i mean look at bush he won fair and square, no funny business
Hey, what’s wrong with ACORN?
Wait a sec, a repug is accusing dems of voter fraud? Do you even REMEMBER how your hero got “elected” 8 years ago?
Yep, Al Gore had a hissy fit and ended up taking the whole thing to the Supreme Court. He just wasn’t going to accept defeat.
thats cuz he won eddie, i doubt our idiot in office now would have done any diffrent.
Not according to the recount.
The recount was halted by the Supreme Court.
The damn funny thing about Buch v. Gore (2000) is that it marks the *only* time the Court has issued a verdit that *cannot* be used as precedent. B.v.DG is a one-shot only. If hypothetically Obama squeaks ahead, and McCain wants a recount to continue, the 2000 decision does not have to be considered; the Court can completely reverse its previous position on the grounds of political favoritism.
Ok, I wasn’t aware of that aspect of it. Still, Bush was declared the winner because of the recount, yes? Hopefully the State of Florida has had voter education classes on how to ‘punch the chad cleanly’ this time around.
hell how do you think he got re-elected.
Dude…attacking Palin and her abstinence only sex-ed platform, not her daughter.
Then you have selective memory
I read it a second time
*faceslap*
I’m off my game.
Now, is that a reference to the dog or to the senator?
seriosuly the original joke wasnt that funny in the first place,
now your recycling a completely stupid joke,
just stop,
think of something new.
her and bitch are the operative words here.
That’s a nasty thing to say about Hillary.
He was talking about your mom.
WIN!!!!!!!!!!
They’ve jsut been misunderestimated
Again… reading comprehension! just because you want to believe that the GOP hasn’t screwed things up, doesn’t change the fact that they have ruined the country.
You think liberals would have done any better?
They did – you might be too young to remember the 8 years of incredible economic grown and security world wide that we enjoyed under the Clinton Administration. ?
That was when Republicans dominated Congress and led the economy, as I recall. And Bill Clinton was busy diddling interns while Osama bin Laden made his plans.
Fact check:
Republicans took office in – 94
Stayed there until – 06.
Economy – plummeted after Clinton left office? Something about a 6 billion dollar surplus? If you don’t think Clinton had anything to do with the economy, then tell me why the same Republican Congress went from surplus to crash.
Funny thing about war and butter(read: tax cuts). You don’t get to have both. Tell Bush that.
NAFTA NAFTA NAFTA whoo
6 billion dollar surplus?
ARE YOU SERIOUS?
6 billion dollars is POCKET CHANGE to a modern day super power government. That’s like saying the schoolyard bully is making off well with 3 pennies from the nerd he beat up (probably you). Seriously, get a grip on reality before you try to throw numbers around.
Not sure where that number came from. The picture my name links to shows numbers much greater than that under Clinton. And shows the immediate drom as Bush came into power.
*drop, not drom. My finger slipped.
The thing is, the economy generally run close to fours years behind the current President. So if what you’re saying is correct, Bush inherited a deficit and Clinton inherited a surplus and squandered it.
The US economy has done better under Democrat presidents than Republican ones.
Unemployment trends downwards with Democrat presidents, and upwards with Republican presidents.
Incomes rise more under the Democrats.
Inflation is lower under the Democrats.
GDP rises more under the Democrats.
The national debt rises by less under the Democrats.
The budget deficit is much lower under the Democrats.
.
This is based on patterns and averages since WWII.
The only reason we had “security” under the clinton administration is because nobody was dumb enought to attack us, even though clinton was working to reduce our military.
What people fail to realize is that whoever the president is has only so much to do with the economy seeing as it is CONGRESS that determines budgets and taxes in the long run. That’s why I find it funny that while Bush did have some problems to start, it wasn’t until dems took congress that things really got screwed up. Heck, Bush has a better approval rating than congress.
Not true. I was in the military during the entire decade of the 1990’s (as well as the entire 80’s and a few years on either side). The 1994 GOP Congress did more to destroy the military than any other entity that I observed in my personal experience.
OMG. Extremists of any sort are nothing if not annoyingly persistent.
Nice throwing in the comment about national security – why is it Republicans always do the oily dodge when they don’t like a topic?
1. You make it sound like Congress runs the nation. The government was set up as a balance of power between executive-judicial(nod to Bill Cosby)-and legislative to help keep the nation from being hijacked by any one interest group.
2. If anything, during his disastrous 8 years in office, George Bush has done everything in his power to give the executive branch of government more weight than the founding fathers EVER thought would happen. 3. The ongoing self-implosion of the top names in the American financial sector is due to A LACK OF GOVERNMENT REGULATION. A big shout out to all the Republicans who were too stupid and greedy to let any power stop them from poisoning themselves and the American economy along with them.
3. Fuckit, man: you’re defending a man that even the Republican party doesn’t want at their own convention, they’re so embarassed by him!
Au contraire – the congress IS responsible for every peice of legislation that comes out of Washington. The president can suggest, but it is congress that initiates ALL laws. And if anyone has been in a power-grab its the congressional leaders trying to take over the executive powers.
You say that as though the president is just a figurehead position. The president has powers far beyond what I think any one man should have in a democratic society.
He has veto powers and does use them.
Congress creates ALL the laws – they make the laws that regulate income tax, corporate tax, social security tax, cigarette tax, liquor tax, hiway tax, gas tax, estate tax, death tax, social security benefits tax, taxes to insure phone service to ‘rural areas’, and an entire plethera of other taxes. They also determine how ALL the money is spent – remember the government shutdown under Bush 41? Congress refused to pass a spending bill until Bush acquiesced on a tax increase and not one federal employee got paid for several weeks. It’s actually a big part of the reason he lost – his campaign slogan was ‘no new taxes’.
True the President has veto power, but only over what Congress gives him and if the Congress doesn’t make the bill NOTHING becomes law. Why do you think Congress has the lowest approval rating in the ENTIRE history of the Unites States – because they are too busy hounding Bush and whinning over his presidency to do their jobs! I mean, as the most recent example, they complained about the gas prices, said something should be done, and left. The ONLY piece of the government that could actually create a policy to help Joe and Suzy six-pack afford fuel went on vacation instead. And let us not forget that most of those wonderful taxes were created in the forty+ years after FDR when the Democrats were in sole possesion of the House and had the Senate most of the time, as was the spending frenzy that still permeates Washington today regardless of who’s in charge.
So you can be as pissed as you want at Bush 43 – there is a WHOLE lot I don’t like about his presidency as well – but let us put the blame for the mismanagement of the government the last few years where it belongs – squarely upon the shoulders of the Democrat-led Congress.
okay, there’s plenty of blame to go around here. but the economy didn’t start this death spiral until about a year, a year and a half ago – 2007.
the congress had nothing to do with this sudden shift because they were only elected in 2006, and any legislation they enacted before that point likely hadn’t even gone into effect yet. anything that has happened in the past few years is most likely a result of the policies of the previous congress that the current congress inherited.
and really, there isn’t much congress can do to lower gas prices if we’re going to try and get people to break their dependence on oil. if we were to release oil from the reserves, or to declare a gas tax holiday, that would only drive the number of drivers back up – just what we don’t want. as nice as it is to think that we can just keep drilling, there are only so many places we can go before we’re just making pointless holes in the ground. offshore drilling and drilling in alaska most likely won’t really help alleviate our problems in the long run. they’ll just distract us from the preparations we need to make when there is absolutely no more oil.
On this we can agree – Congress did inherit the economic misfortunes that have occured in the last few months. They inherited it from Clinton and the liberal Congress in place when he took office. Together, they changed lending law to FORCE lending companies into making more high-risk loans which, in turn caused a rate rate of default, yada yada yada. We wone’t even talk about the corruption within Freddie Mac and Fannie mae that contributed to the downturn. Bush’s mistake was allowing Clinton’s mistake to continue when he did have a congress that could do something about this, but THIS Congress – with all their big talk about DOING something – have done absolutely nothing to correct this.
And on the subject of doing nothing in Congress and our current gas price dilemma, consider this: One thing that we could do to lower prices dramatically would be to simply refine it ourselves. We have to buy gasoline – not oil – from foreign countries because CONGRESS has made it impossible to build any domestic refineries in the last 30+ years through legislative red tape. Repealing those laws are well within THIS Congress’s scope. And as far as drilling not helping now – the pipelines are ALREADY THERE in the gulf!!! Foreign countries are ALREADY THERE drilling closer to our borders than Congress will allow our own companies drill!!! We could ALREADY be on our way to reducing our dependance on foreign oil by simply USING OUR OWN. American ingenuity still exists, but Congress won’t allow anyone to use the technology we have. and on the subject of energy independence, why is it Congress has pretty much prohibited exploring nuclear power? After all, we ARE the ONLY superpower that doesn’t use this safe, cost-effective, long-lasting energy source.
A PLETHORA OF MANDIBLES!
Empty heads and snakes on a plane!
Oh, and P.S. Because of this stupid-ass Iraq war that Bush and Co. started, we are SO fucking exposed militarily. Our troops are worn completely threadbare, most of our people and equipment are committed, unavailable or dead should, say, Kim Jong Il lose the rest of his mind, or if Putin’s testosterone levels jacked up another notch. Not to mention the MASSIVE amount of war debt we now owe OTHER COUNTRIES, thus giving them power over us.
And I have GOT to wonder if Bin Laden would still be alive if we hadn’t been jerking off in Iraq.
BLEAH!!!
YOU might be too young to remember the 4 years of stagnant growth with the highest interest rates in history and the laughing stock the US was before Reagan took office. The Clintons just took advantage of what he started and got credit for letting his plan play out
So where did Bush Sr. play into that? He had the four years after Reagan, not Bill Clinton. Mathematically, your argument is (as my daughter would put it) pure FAIL.
(insert risible demographic of your choice here) would have done better.
Risible.
yes
It was a nasty thing to say about Hilary when McCain laughed at it.
You guys can’t have it both ways. The same things you are crying over now have all been said about Hilary by the same talking heads and pols that are going on and on and on about it now.
Fiarina was whinging that SNL didn’t portray Palin as a woman of substance … IT IS SNL – what the heck did you think they were going to do?
Boxter cries that looking into Palin’s background is sexist … really? Sexist to look into a candidate’s background?
Sexism is a very new concept for the pugs – you guys never admitted it even existed until Palin
Racism and sexism are well-known concepts. They’re what the Democratic Party is based on.
You’ve chosen a totally unqualified candidate just because of his race. You rejected a better candidate because of her sex.
Liberals are the biggest racists and sexists.
Hang on… *resituates EP’s tinfoil hat* There we go.. you had gone
from “Mildly Paranoid” to “Holy SH*T that guy’s insane!” Your
reception should be better now…
You are my new funny hero! EP has really fallen off his game these days.
EP…sometimes (just sometimes) you embarrass me
Um…you maybe should just cut your name at evil. I’m just sayin’.
I rejected Sarah Palin because I don’t like her policies and I don’t think she knows what she’s doing.
I still wouldn’t call her a “bitch”. Then again, I wouldn’t call myself a “liberal” either.
Now the problem with this comment is that you,
in NO WAY WHAT SO EVER, have ANY
knowledge as to why anyone else is voting for their
chosen candidate.
You see that Obama is black and assume everyone
think like vote for because he’s the first black nominee.
‘THAT IS PREJUDICE IN IT’S HIGHEST form.
You’re suggesting that everyone voting for him is just a
pop-culture , media influenced blind voter.
And you are wrong
DO NOT TRY TO TELL ME MY REASON FOR
VOTING You are not a
mind reader, you are a
racist, because you are petty enough to try and make
his color an issue. REPEATEDLY
You are slandering his campaign with the
notion that he’s not like the other candidates,undermining
his policies, discrediting the opinions of Obama supporters
and invalidating Obama as nothing more than a current
trend in our black-influenced youth
This is the most hypocritical comment I’ve seen
here, and you just keep repeating it ,furthering the
social divide . He’s running for President ,it’s not
popularity contest. I vote on policies, not color. It’s
ignorant to assume otherwise.
O
Do you ever stop and think, or do you even realize what you are saying?
Generalizations are ugly and taint the truth entirely. It makes everything you say afterward invalid, even if what you say afterward is true, because you lose your credability. Not all Republicans participate/d in, nor agree/d with the sexist treatment of Mrs. Clinton. Blaming all with Republican association for the sins of the few makes what could have been a true statement false.
Can we agree that sexist behavior is simply inexcusable no matter who it’s coming from, or who it’s aimed at? If so, is being sexist in regard to Palin justified because of sexism toward Clinton?
…and yet EP’s “technique” of painting anyone who disagrees with him embarrasses you only “sometimes”?
Most of the time he’s easier to ignore. Lately he’s gotten on my nerves. Sometimes he does provide substance. I have never taken anything he says at face value (I never take you at face value either), but I seem to remember that he would raise in me legitimate questions that I could use to direct research. I don’t read every comment here (better things to do), but there has been a noticable difference in the discourse on both sides. This whole conversation is juvenile. The first half of the comment is directed at anyone (including EP) that takes the same fallacious stance.
In a rare turn, even you sink to the blame game. Rather than attack an issue or a principal you have chosen to attack a person’s character. I half expect it from Jellybeans, EP, and Megabob, but I am dissappointed to see it from you.
I lol’d. This made me happy. Either way, tis funny.
That’s a Republican WIN.
And how is this a GOP win, exactly?
Because it’s obvious that the dog has more executive experience than Obama.
how is that obvious?
It’s obvious because the Obama has less executive experience than the dog.
Proof:
The dog has no executive experience.
Obama’s only executive experience was running the board of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge with his terrorist friend Bill Ayers. The CAC was a $100 million failure.
Therefore, Obama has negative executive experience, making his qualifications less than those of the dog.
Are you trying to convert people to your point of view or just repeat the same nonsense over in over in hopes of making our heads explode and therefore unable to vote?
Either way it’s not working.
Over *and over. I hate this format.
EP… what color is the sky in your world? It’s blue here. When you take off your rose colored glasses can you see anything, at all?
Only the inside of his colon.
Thank you, Herb. You’ve made my day.
HUA FTW!!!
So, trying ad failing counts as negative experience? To a repug perhaps. Dems however are capable of learning from mistakes.
It’s been my experience that they only allow ‘mistakes’ from within their party. Barney Frank has a brothel running INSIDE his OWN home (it was his lover’s, I guess and somehow ole Barney had ‘no idea’) and no one bats an eye. A democrat congressman has a REAL sexual relationship with one of his male paiges (underage at the time) and STILL has a seat, yet a Republican has ANY misconduct or misjudgement and the mantra is always the same: “S/He should resign… Indict him….Impeach him. Sounds a liiiiiiiittle hypocritical, don’t you think?
usually all that pressure to resign comes from the republican party’s conservative side from what i can tell. which makes sense because it seems all there is left to the republican party is the conservatives.
regardless, the republican party has become much more morally conscious, and since they have their own cable channel they can focus much more attention on the stories they feel need attention. it’s as simple as that.
The Republican Party usually applies pressure in response to the yammering within the Dems. And I LOVE the argument that, because the Democrat Party has no moral compass, it’s members are free to do as they wish.
Again – Hypocrisy anyone?
Apparently yours.
Is this his dog? furreal?
Q. What’s the difference between Obama and a lapdog?
A. None!
wow you really arent funny,
please stop posting things,
theyre just no valueable comments.
Are you actually typing or do you just shit on your keyboard for effect?
Don’t encourage him.
“Are you actually typing or do you just shit on your keyboard for effect?”
enema “don’t encourage him”
I may be far too easily amused but the irony of this makes me giggle
I was thinking the same thing Vert.
Great… Now I have mental images. No wonder you only get to vacation in sane instead of getting a spiffy head stamp.
ROFL!!!
I would prefer a lapdog, please
Hmmm…like Bush is Cheney & big buisness’s lap dog?
Nah, lap dogs don’t dance on command Bush is more of a puppet.
Good point…even a lap dog would have bitten by now.
It’s true, they can sense evil…
the funny part is: the dog peed in his pocket!
no
It’s making fun of Palin. Seems pretty obvious. Made me laugh out loud and I don’t even have anything against the woman. Wouldn’t vote for her but still.
If you don’t vote for her you are a sexist – ask any republican
If you don’t vote for Obama, you’re a racist. Just ask any Democrat.
If we don’t vote for EP we might survive tomorrow!
We would be grateful if you two just got a room, and worked out these frustrations somewhere else.
I saw much funnier captions than this one.
Mine was ” In honor of Abe, I’m calling her “Cotton”!
That’s… yeah, I’d call that funny.
Didn’t you know? Republican humor is almost all about racial slurs … all the links Hueydoc and EP ever provided with Obama lols were racial.
That’s just a flat out lie.
Not that I’d expected any better from you.
And the proof is… where?
The proof is in my profile, linked under my name.
Lots of Obama lolz there, none of them racist.
Jellybeans is a liar.
But you’re still a racist.
What bullshit!
That’s such bull$hit!
Interesting how you liberals end up at the same spot — telling lies and spouting personal insults.
You mean where you’ve been the whole time?
Nope. I don’t usually lower myself to your level.
Never argue with a stupid person. They’ll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience. -R.
I’ve never read a single personal insult made by EP. Can you show us one ?
Wow are you blind.
Notice how MegaBob doesn’t even try to defend EP against the lying accusation, lol.
Given the number of times EP’s used the phrase “libtard” towards anyone of differing opinion, I don’t understand now this revisionist history where he’s the defender of the meek.
I said “personal”- not a general statement thrown out that you think is personally aimed at you.
No, instead of making insults personal, he usually generalises by saying that every liberal is *insert variety of insults here*.
Yeah, but it’s common practice around these parts. Crotchwaffle and douchnozzle come to mind..
So is Bob crotchwaffle and EP douchnozzle? Or vice versa?
Isn’t one just a sockpuppet of the other?
Liberalism is a mental disorder.
Conservatism is a defense of the Aristocracy, and is thus un-democratic and outright un-American. Traitor.
Thank you for obliging. The nearest to racist is the “half honkey – all donkey”, and that I don’t consider a big deal.
I thought all of three were amusing. We have different tastes.
Also completely unoriginal. There is (or perhaps was, not sure if they still carry it) a TShirt on TShirt Hell that carried the same slogan.
Grabs JB’s broad brush and gives back one that’s a little narrower.
You make me happy
Show us them !!!!!!!!
that’s just bad taste.
it’s okay to have good political humor but do we have to resort to vulgarity to be heard?
grow up and say something intelligent.
now that’s funny!
Liberals saying something intelligent? That’s a scream!
Who are you? Ann Coulter?
P.S. – Not everyone who isn’t a Republican is automatically a liberal. Why don’t you get your facts together before you call everyone around you stupid.
I think it’s also pretty obvious that it’s supposed to be Obama saying that.
I think this was hilarious, even though I’m republican.. I love sarah palin jokes, they have some pretty good ones for her on here.. I just wanna say though guys, seriously, it’s a joke, take it, don’t make this your political grandstand….
I concur, I come here to lul and perhaps banter about politics. Not to get butthurt over macros.
Can anyone tell me, seriously, why Obama would do a photo-op in front of the statue of Lincoln with a white dog? Does it show more patriotism to have a dog?
Yes. Cats are the work of Commies. They indoctrinate you with their pinko philosophies while you sleep.
They sit next to your ear and repeat “Mao… Mao… Mao…”
MUST…DESTROY….CAPITALISM!
This is fabulous. My cats are commies…but what does that make my friend’s cat? I should explain…she has two dogs and a cat…who has been around said dogs since it was a kitten…so the cat barks. I kid you not. Also plays fetch.
That cat has obviously been successfully deprogrammed.
I laughed so loud at this, I woke up my dog. I’m not sure where the cat is, though…..
Kitteh is at the local meeting of the communist party. Obviously.
And don’t forget – Sarah Palin hates cats!
now THAT’S funny
the reason why he is posing with a poodle:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26440136/
I put it as a link on my name, too, in case it doesn’t work somehow. The Obama girls get to adopt a dog after the November 4th elections.
Aaawwwww, how sweet.
But I’d want a REAL dog, thanks. Not one of those yappy things.
LOL to the conservative wishers.. I am pretty sure that this is supposed to be Obama holding a dog talking about mccain.
Obama has a talking dog? WOW!!
He does ride unicorns on rainbows, so why not a talking dog?
Vote Obama and he will make dogs talk!! Now, that would be a REAL change.
I honestly first thought he meant Hillary !
You know how those Democrats hate women !
Yeah, cause Democrats are the one who asked ther candidate “How do we beat the bitch” oh wait, that was a repug.
Like how we wanted a woman as our PRESIDENTIAL nomination? As
opposed to just slapping a woman on our ticket hoping that’ll trick Hillary
supporters into voting republican?
And you’re pissed cuz it worked ?
And you’re happy it did?!?
If Republicans really chose her only because she is the best candidate for the job with a vagina, rather than the actual best candidate, do you think any less of the Republicans for it?
Wow, you must not surround yourself with very smart people…it didn’t work in New York.
Can he make you intelligent?
I’m sure he can help you with that, he will just give more money to your school and that will magically help you.
I’d like to get my school first in line for some of that magic. I just got back from a parent meeting, which included our plans for fundraising. You know, my husband is Navy, and I don’t recall ever having to buy candybars from him. It’s a matter of priorities, ema. I think probably every commenter on this site has mentioned how many incredibly stupid people there are out there, regardless of their political affiliation. Frankly, a well educated (or at least literate) population might make better choices in a democracy than we’ve been able to over the last few years. Maybe a better educated group of voters could argue over policies and strategies for improving our situation instead of whose candidate (or candidate’s wife) is a bitch.
Such a shame that the Democrats drag the campaign down to the level of attacking candidates’ spouses and children.
Nothing but blame and no taking responsibility is all I hear from you. Surely not every single conservative person in the universe if above reproach.
Damn. That cut to the bone. It’s not his fault he only knows reaction and not action.
I’m just pointing out the unpleasant truth: Democrats on this blog have been sliming candidates’ spouses and children.
Did you even read what I wrote?? Why do you bother posting?
Hold up…didn’t y’all try to use Bill to dissuade people from Hillary?
Yeh-and NOW HE’S WUKKIN FO’ OSABAMA! Ah luvs it.
Oh please don’t interrupt the mud–slinging, hyperbole, insanity and profanity with an intelligent hope there Musicmom. The role of this site is to pander to the lowest common denominator that can A) vote and B) make up shit about the other party’s candidate.
LOL…sorry…momentary lapse of reason.
**bangs head on desk**
It won’t hurt – maybe then the teachers won’t be spending their own money on “luxuries” that got cut in the latest round of budget slashes. You know … pencils and such.
Ok, so test scores are down, drop out rates are high and they can’t pay teachers a living wage and they can’t affor pencils!? And we want to reward them for that with more money? Do you know how insane that sounds? What about some oversight? What about “Hey! What are you doing with all the money?” I pay property taxes and I would like to know why they can’t get it together.
So the solution is to cut even more money? Brilliant! Why didn’t we think of that before!
I work with teachers, many of them spend $100 or more a month on stuff that we used to have in class as a matter of course. Spare pencils, crayons, art paper, project supplies etc etc.
Some schools make the kids share books. They can’t take them home because the other class needs them too. Many schools can’t afford science lab equipment or computer lab equipment or scientific calculators. How can America teach competitively if we can’t provide the tools needed to learn?
You love your laptop Ema, lets say you were learning about computers for the first time – without a computer.
Now, why would we cut more money? We are already nickle and diming our kids out of a place in the global marketplace.
Ok, so lets have some oversight and see where all the money is going, that’s all I’m saying. I don’t think I said to cut funding. Teachers should have fair pay and should not have to pay for supplies. Sounds like there may be some beaurocratic nonsense going on because I know we spend quit a bit on funding for schools.
I send my kids to a private school- and the cost per child is LESS than the cost per child in the local Public (government run) school system. Yet they get a much better education. Why? A much lower Administrator-teacher ratio than in public schools for one. Throw more money to the government and it will just suck it up like a financial black hole!
Yeah, the success rate of private schools are significantly higher than public schools. They are allowed to be selective with their enrollment.
As to where the money goes in schools: try asking. My guess is that a significant portion is bled away by the increase in the cost of operations (gas for buses, cost of living increases, deferred maintenance, the need to insure themselves in case some damn kid acts up and the parents get their panties in a bunch….
I do know a fair portion goes into IT, as schools try to keep up to the pace of society, including the buffer for lost, damaged, or stolen computers.
One of the local high schools here had the yearly budget for the English department slashed to three thousand dollars for the department for the year. It really limits the number of new books that can be ordered, among other things.
MB, think about it a minute. It’s like the cost of insurance. When you deny coverage to the high risk, more costly participants, the cost of premiums goes down. Public school has to educate whoever parents drop off with us. How many of your children’s peers had to be catheterized? Any drug/alcohol exposed kiddos? How many children with autism were mainstreamed into their classrooms?
I’m not going to defend bloated administrations, though, that’s something we should look at. But it’s hardly the only reason for the difference in cost.
(A cap on the prices of textbooks would be nice, too)
Actually, quite a few. You wouldn’t believe how many adopted kids go there and the physical problems they have. The kids get along with them fine. It’s the Administrators that suck up the money !
Soooo what you’re agreeing to is the concept that workplace reform needs to be done from the top down, that we should focus on putting the employers into check, rather than allowing the trickle-down to effect the employees, right?
Oversight for WHAT??
So teachers don’t teach but only train for standardized tests that are held out as carrots for funding? Where the hell is education in that?
Which is just the thing Palin did in Alaska and it is just the reason why everyone hates her and is afraid of her.
^ EP sockpuppet.
Not a sockpuppet by any means. ema is far more reasonable
than EP. She is more average right wing, while EP is more like ultra fundy right wing.
She will speak her mind, but give credit where credit is due.
I’ve only seen EP say one negative thing about Republicans for as long as I’ve been on this site, and that was that opinion polls were horrible for them before the 2004 election.
Well said Piman, while I typically strongly disagree with about 90% of the stuff Ema says (Mainly because she’s always wrong…. j/k Ema!!!) I do have to admit that her comments are much more rational and well thought out than Evil Puppet’s.
I’m beyond help though.
Hasn’t done it for you and YOU are one of his Disciples !
enema, a name tells a story…
ROFL and agreeing!
If the story is about what you do alone on your Saturday nights I sure as hell don’t want to hear it.
Just watch “Cops”!
Obama has a typing dog too. Those speeches don’t write themselves!
He needs help reading them too!
Not as much help as Palin needs with interviews!
You wish!
“What do you change in the Bush economic plans?”
Three times tried, three times failed.
Maybe if someone would LISTEN to an answer instead of being overly concerned about catching someone or tripping someone up to make a name for yourself, it would help.
Charlie Gibson already has a name.
All those idiots are salivating over the chance to be the one to “take down Palin”.
And everyone at Fox News is pissed because they got nothin’ but lame hypocritical cries of sexism.
She used the same 3 answers for 80 questions… they should have given her more talking points
Well, that’s better than McCain. One answer for any situation.
Interview person “What is your plan to help the economy”
McCain “I was a POW”
Interview person “What are your policies towards the energy crisis
McCain “When I was a POW I didn’t HAVE any energy”
Interview person “Hey, do you know what time it is?”
McCain “When I was a POW they took my watch away.”
Sorry but a certain legendary scene about a gold watch from
Pulp Fiction popped into my head. GAWD Id love to see THAT
SNL skit.
When McCain was a POW, he couldn’t watch SNL.
I am ashamed to admit that I have yet to watch that movie in it’s entirety
As opposed to Obama’s plethora of answers?
“CHANGE! WOOHOO! YEAH! CHANGE!”
It reminds me of Pee Wee’s Playhouse. “The secret word is change! Every time Obama says “change” without elaborating or offering any explanation, you have to scream! Real loud!”
AAAAAAH!
I guess McSame plays along at the playhouse since he is actually using Obama’s campaign slogan for himself in his latest ad … Change we need … yeah, because McCain is such a maverick! 10% of the time
But- but- but- Obama voted with his party 100% of the time!
(Though one could argue how McCain thought his party was wrong 10% of the time, whereas Obama thought McCain’s party was wrong 100% of the time.)
Change? Oh, yeah? Well can you change the fact that I
have crunchy pants?!
Vertigo…you should probably get that one checked out by a medical professional.
Good article you should read comparing the differences between the Charlie Gibson interview of Obama and the one of Palin.
Let me guess- was Charlie’s nose brown after he interviwed Obama ?
this is true.
why do you people continue to defend Palin when she was proven herself (numerous times) to be an idiot??
It makes me head spin to think how fast liberals would have labeled this sexism if it weren’t aimed at a conservative. As it is, it’s ok, it’s just a joke.
Take cover! It’s raining double standards!
No, look, the picture is making Obama say something sexist.
Yes, it is.
Especially when the SAME INSULTS have been used by republicans about Hilary but no one on the pug side admitted that sexism even existed.
Palin herself said whining about sexism doesn’t do any women favors.
So, let’s respect her wishes and quit with the sexism claims.
Everyone knows you would all be making worse jokes about Hilary if she was in the race…. heck, you guys DID make worse jokes about Hilary.
Nice of you to finally discover sexism … now that it suits you.
Most of the Hillary comments came from Democrats ! Why do you think PK let so many of her LOL’s on here and NONE for Obama or Biden ?
Oh this is a good point, because I have never said anything sexist about Hillary but I have defended her in some of these lols where people were tearing her apart.
Well, it’s obvious that the Liberals control what gets on the board here, so obviously they do not like her !
so… start your own board and you can talk to yourselves.
We’re applying Nancy Pelosi’s “Fairness Doctrine ” here ! Like it ?
We can talk to ourselves here plus bug you guys too, what’s the difference?
You go, girl !!!
Not bothering me, but I am not the one whining about how unfair the “liberal” board is.
What a bunch of whiny bitches.
I’m not complaining.
The more people see the mean-spirited and petty liberal mindset, the less support Democrats will have.
So, you’re a “liberal” then? Good to know.
He can’t be a lib n8, didn’t you see above, Liberals actually have a mindset.
That requires possession of a mind.
You guys kill me. The conservatives have been sending made-up “factoids” linking Obama to terrorism and Islam…linking all muslims to terrorism, linking all liberals to terrorism, questioning the patriotism of any who don’t follow you’re party line, you have been downright nasty towards Hilary Clinton, calling her every name possible, calling your own candidate every name possible, and now, when he picks someone who comes on stage spouting half-truths and outright lies, you start to cry when she is subjected to your own approved tactics. To tell the truth, this lol is stupid. What is more stupid is the conservative whine resonating across country.
Wow! Are you compensating for some issues in your childhood ?
not really
Oh, and see if you can figure this out… How do you spell Bob backwards?
What ? No new jokes ? Lame, lame,lame….
wrong.
He thought repetition would be easier for your simple brain.
“linking all muslims to terrorism, linking all liberals to terrorism”… wha???? What color is the sky where you are?
blue.
Now tell me, truefully Ema, you have never seen the EID Stamp e-mail, you have never seen the multiple e-mails that call Barak Obama a muslim AND imply that because he is a muslim (Barak HUSSEIN Obama), he is a terrorist, or supports terrorism, that he doesn’t say the pledge, or wear a flag pin (like that proves you’re a patriot).
Yes, I saw them, they are dumb. But they do not say all muslims are terrorists. Or all liberals are terrorists. The flag pin and pledg stuff are along the same lines as his wifes speech about not being proud of her country. They were dumb things to do if you are planning to run for president of said country. Not terrible things to do by themselves, but bad judgement call in my opinion
Not true. 1. The EID e-mail was a conservative effort to designed to imply that all muslims were terrorists, and was passed along through conservative friends e-mail channels, consistently over an extended period of time. 2. Read Coulter, Savage, listen to Limbaugh (the first to attack the child of a politician — he didn’t agree with, a child who was 13 years at the time, by the way — but that’s OK with you conservatives, your own rules don’t apply to yourselves). 3. Try living a life of discrimination, continue to support your country, yet still be treated as second class, then talk about this issue, oh, and again, the flag pin-pledge issue was false, yet continued to be propigated throughout conservative channels. I do agree the tone of current politics is wrong…so what are you, megabob and ep going to do to change it? I challenge the three of you to prove me wrong and unilaterally stop the false attacks.
“designed to imply”? Did it come right out and say all muslims or all liberals are terrorists?
Yes — read the EID Stamp e-mail, you can google it, I am sure, if not try snopes.com
Read anything Coulter (who you did not deny) says about liberals.
I’m pretty easy…I’ll discuss one on one, any issue, hell once in a while I’ll admit I’m wrong, well maybe, but I will also admit that I can be a pain in the behind… I’d prefer to discuss issues, because i do agree this lol was stupid, but if someone wants to degenerate to insults, we can do that too.
I will say that you generally have a great oulook and I respect your opinion.
Close, switch the sentence around and it’s accurate.
It implied that all terrorists were Muslim or liberal.
(Wikipedia excerpt) Obama is Christian, July 2008
polls have shown that some Americans incorrectly believe that
he is a Muslim or was raised as a Muslim
When CNN’s Larry King cited the latter poll, Obama responded
that “…I wasn’t raised in a Muslim home,” and said that
advancement of the misconception insulted Muslim Americans
The only reason people suspected or believed him to he a
terrorist was because of his Muslim sounding name. Like that’s
a prerequisite no suicide bomber can do without.
‘Don’t vote for the guy with the terrorist name.’
is a new slogan I’ve seen lately. It’s infuriatingly ignorant
how negatively stigmatized the name Hussein is even though
it’s a very common name. It’s Muslim there for it’s a
pre-terrorist warning!
No one goes around saying “Don’t vote for John McCain Gacy!”
“He’ll rape your kids!”
Also, Savage is a loudmouth that usually only promotes his own books and himself on his show, Limbaugh is a big blow hard, I don’t know much about Coulter. There are many many other conservative radio hosts who are more informative and balanced. Michael Medved for one, who will never hang up on a caller at least I have never heard it and encourages liberals to call in and engage in conversation.
You know who is really unbiased? Anna Quindlen.
isn’t she dead?
“The flag pin and pledge stuff are along the same lines as his wife’s speech about not being proud of her country. They were dumb things to do if you are planning to run for president of said country.”
*sigh* They -would- be dumb things -if-they’d-ever-been-done-. The tactics of “pundits” like EP is to repeat a smear until people believe it. 1) Those politicos crying the most about flags pins are themselves often not wearing them; ; and when exactly did wearing a piece of enameled metal become a test of patriotism? 2) Obama holds his right hand over his heart when reciting the Pledge, as can be seen on C-Span (tho’ I’m sure some people think it’s CGI or something); the “photo” circulating was taken during the national Anthem, when hand-over-heart isn’t part of the ceremony. 3) Michelle never said she wasn’t proud to be an American; this is what is politely called “a lie” (The proper term is something akin to “malicious libel/slander”). Her quote: “… and for the first time in my adult life, I’m *really* proud to be an American.” Repubs have been deleting the word “really” in a spineless attempt to swiftboat her, as they attack any headstrong woman of the opposing political party.
I don’t want to get into this big debate. But I would interject that everything said during the debate is up for scrutiny. Only the person that said it knows the true intention of their word. So, when Michelle used the word “really”, it can be interpreted as “very” or “actually”. If she substituted “really” with “very” it would have been a non-issue. If she had said “actually”, then it would take us to where we are right now. Some people take it one way and others take it the other. I personally don’t care if she is proud or not, she isn’t the candidate. However, I hope when she does make speeches in the future she chooses her words more wisely.
Well, she appears to be fair game for attacks (EP).
I do think it’s a stretch to read “really” as “actually” in the context spoken, which is why I notice that in print media, most people just do away with the word.
and the radical islam dvd sent out to battleground states? and the push polls targeting jewish voters in florida? and the voter caging in Michigan and Ohio?
Pugs earn their names.
The voter registration forms sent to likely Dems from the John McCain camp with the city clerk’s address deliberately incorrect?
Ooh, more tasty Democrat smears.
But how much truth is there to them? This point has not arisen as far as I recall, and usually you would link to some fundy right wing blog to ‘prove’ them wrong. But not this time. Is it that you couldn’t find anything denying it?
You’ve never been to Conservapedia, have you.
You’ve never been to Shuttypedia, have you?
Fail.
Matter of opinion now, isn’t it?
Sort of. Could have put a bit more thought into it, though. I would’ve been satisfied with “Shittypedia” or “Bitchapedia” or even “Wankopedia.” “Shuttypedia” just isn’t as mean.
I was going for the silliness factor.
Sure, but you could have made it a bit more mean. “Shuttypedia” is kind of lame.
I thought it was funny…
Shuttupedia might have been slightly better.
ok, I lol’d
SSShhhh! Multiple personality disorder at work here !
Go here, scroll about half way down to MegaBob’s comment about Obama and Al Queda and Muslims. Oh, and how they’re all terrorists.
I looked—Nope, don’t see any! Another made up Liberal lie, brought to you by Blah blah black sheep !!!
Not a lie, just a misunderstanding.
He saw you refer to terrorists who prefer Obama over McCain, and how you said Obama has the “Muslim vote tied up”. This led to the conclusion that you said Obama has the Muslim vote because there are terrorists who support him.
What he missed is that you also mentioned when Obama misspoke (“my Muslim faith”), and that you seem to actually believe that to be one moment when he spoke the truth.
.
You were being somewhat slanderous, but not directly stating what he thinks you did.
I like how you assume I’m male. And I can also admit when I’m wrong. I was wrong. It is as you say, a misunderstanding.
Easiest to assume everybody on the Internet is a G.I.R.L. (Guy In
Real Life)
I’ll try to refer to you as female in the future, but I’m not making any promises
Seeing as you admitted you were wrong, it should have been obvious that you were indeed female.
OMG SEXIST.
And as far as being “somewhat” slanderous, considering what a loaded word “terrorist is, any implication of support from Al Qaeda is somewhat more than somewhat slanderous. There is yet to be any proof to back up any of his statements anyway. It’s the old “if I say it enough times it will be true” thing.
I said somewhat because it was not as implicit as it could have been, and was certainly not explicit.
I had a feeling that if I directly accused him of slander, then he would complain. And I didn’t want to deal with any complaints, only issues.
Okay- I’ll make the crime fit the accusation. Obama is a left wing nut-job Muslim who hangs out with terrorists, smokes crack and cocaine, does whatever the Democratic Party damn well tells him to do, hates women, is an inexperienced hack job who is the affirmative action candidate and wants to tax us back to the stone age.
There- does that make your paranoid little minds happy now ?
Now begins the oral diarrhea that the left is well known for.
How much of that do you actually believe? I’d rather only criticise you as much as you deserve.
For a muslim he sure does attend a catholic church quite often, take your racist bullshit and stuff it you Republican Nazi.
Bush made us have less liberty than before, and stupid believe this country is safer than ever, they’re only fooling themselves, no is no such thing as complete safety and never will be, but Republicans will waste our money being paranoid fear mongers. Anything to shove that corporate cock even deeper in the ass of America for more cash in their pocket…
Actually, you should probably do a little bit more research before you spout off and look like a fool. Obama is not and has never been a Catholic. I wonder you got that from? As for the rest of your diatribe, did that make you feel better? What a wantstain..
If you want to use the link as sourse, quote here the text and let us check it. (please and thank you.)
But… that’s hard. (Okaaaay.)
I’m an Obama supporter, but even I think this is going way too far.
There’s no such thing as ” going too far ” for the Liberals !
( unless it involves making fun of Democrats).
The funny part is that the more the liberals slime Palin, the higher her popularity climbs!
They’re shooting themselves in the foot, but they can’t help it because they’re driven by hatred.
Unlike EP, who is driven solely by a warm, caring compassion for his fellow human beings.
Oh good grief. And what exactly were the Swift Boat people driven by in ‘04? Happy fluffy bunnies?
So you admit that all that talk about a “different way of doing politics” meant that you were going to become JUST LIKE the people you despise the most?
Epic “Change” fail.
This nest is Epic. Nothing better than repubs telling dems what hey [the lefties] really think and feel.
Stay classy!
The hatred is pretty obvious. All the LOLs about Sarah Palin, her children, or Cindy McCain are obnoxious and vile.
The voters are seeing what liberals are like, and it isn’t pretty.
Sir, I need you to remain calm. The Whaaaaambulance is on its way.
The lols have nothing to do with a vast conspiracy of mind-controlled liberals following the orders of the great Svengali Obama. They are a reflection of the humor one person sees in a picture and the reaction others have to it. Apparently yours is divided straight down party lines. That must save so much time and energy in actual critical thought… I almost envy your unilateral weltenshaung.
I think I know you??
John McCain’s selection of Sarah Palin was not only annoying, but insulting.
I’m not admitting anything. I’m pointing out that the pot is calling the kettle black, and I’m pretty sure I didn’t say that the kettle was in fact actually black.
Yes you did ! See all of your previous posts !
In all my previous posts I said what exactly?
OMG you said black. Racist.
OMG so did you.
The Swift Boat Veterans were driven by the desire to tell the truth about the man who defamed them.
The swift boat veterans were a group of bitter old men who decided to discredit the entire military awards system, including the Medal of Honor, in order to serve their narrow political goals and personal animosity. They disgraced themselves as they dragged the entire military awards system through the dirt. They are beneath contempt.
Absolutely agreed.
You don’t like the truth.
She can’t handle the truth !
The truth, EP. We have been through this before. The United States Navy (do you know who they are?) has stated, after the Swift Boat Morons made their statements, that Sen Kerry’s SILVER STAR and other awards are LEGITIMATE. Those bitter old men questioned the integrity of the entire Vietnam era military awards system, INCLUDING THE MEDAL OF HONOR!!! Why, because they are self-serving pond scum who call themselves conservatives.
You don’t mind if I sit this one out, do you?
Nope! Been thru this one way too many times already.
Facts are to a Liberal what underwear is to a jellyfish- they don’t know what to do with them !
lol!
I don’t think that anyone, in their wildest dreams could call the USN liberal. The truth is, you don’t have a friggin clue about what you are talking about when it comes to the military awards system, and in particular, how well they safeguard valor awards.
I would say the same of you. RLO’s ( real live officers) usually had their awards upgraded since i would later help them in their career. I saw it too many times. And Kerry was denied two of his purple hearts by his commander and the medical officer- yet he later showed up with them and to this day, he still will not release who signed for him to receive them.
Perhaps YOU can tell us who authorized his medals ? No one else will !
Check with the Navy. You are so quick to negate, go to the source, don’t feed us half truths and inuendo. The Navy issues orders for every award. You want to question them? Fine. Show us REAL proof, not conjecture. Until you can PROVE that Kerry’s awards were bogus, don’t say a word against them.
However, Bob, I will admit that problems exist. But where do you draw the line? You have to rely on the integrity of the system, unless you have specific evidence to the contrary, otherwise you call all awards into question.
And Kerry’s discharge record is–where? Until I hear otherwise, I believe that he was giving the choice of resigning his commission or being subject to courts martial.
Not to mention he still hasn’t released his records about WHO approved his purple hearts- his CO did not !
( speaking of someone who could only say ” I got three Purple Hearts in Vietnam” to all questiona asked)
Yet McCain saying he was a POW as answer to all questions is… right how now?
The same as Kerry saying he had three Purple Hearts to everything….
go below and click my name.
It’s like watching a ping pong match knowing who the winner going to be. Thanks for the citation CF. As for McCain, there can’t be any doubt that he deserved the medals and commendations he was awarded either. I did look that up, but damn if I can find it now.
Click my name.
So, Guilty til proven innocent then?
Send in a freedom of information request to the USN, ask them about Sen Kerry’s award, then talk shit!
Really? where’s the proof — I’ve heard a lot of things. Charges like that are VERY serious in the military. You had better be doggone sure before you mention it…it is not like in the movies.
Yeah. Like his career, based on testifying before Congress, saying that US soldiers ROUTINELY committed war crimes. What’s the phrase? “Charges like that are VERY serious in the military” . . . unless you’re a fucking leftist traitor such as Kerry, with support from other UnAmericans in Congress and the media. Please check the dictionary definitions for “traitor” and “UnAmerican”. I know what I’m saying, and I mean it. Unfortunately, running for President seems to be EXACTLY like “in the movies”.
The SBVs were driven by a book deal.
EP, CF and I had this debate and I was unable to find anything by the SBV’s that could be considered true. While I don’t like Kerry on a personal level, I have changed my opinion on his time in the military and the medals he was awarded. One other thing, I believe it’s the same group that is also dragging McCain’s time in the military through the mud as well.
Yet another point I agree with you on, eddie: Kerry was enough of a schmuck they ought to have found something other than his military record to attack him on (something with validity, perhaps?).
[Though I did vote for Kerry, it was more a vote against Bush, as my Demo candidate of choice was run down by the "liberal" media.]
The funny part is that the more the conservatives slime Obama, the higher his popularity climbs!
Theyโre shooting themselves in the foot, but they canโt help it because theyโre driven by hatred.
Mimicry— FAIL!
Ummm…if by “slime”, you mean point out associations with racists (Rev. Wright) radicals (Saul Alinsky/Louis Farrakhan), terrorists (William Ayers), slum lords (Tony Rezko), and America-haters (the lovely Mrs. Obama, who wasn’t proud of her country until Barack had a shot at being president), then yes, conservatives are “sliming” Obama.
Oh, and his popularity is dropping like a stone. What happens when an empty suit goes up against anyone of substance.
No, it’s when a decent (enough) person goes up against a smear-and-fear echo chamber. Need I *again* find a damn clip of Michelle Obama using the phrase “-really- proud to be an American”? Do I have to post *again* the facts surrounding Bill Ayers?
Wait: why? It’s not like you people would process them. It’d be two posts down and you’d start screaming the same lies and distortions all over again.
Like a well-oiled machine.
You really live in a little box, don’t you?
lol, i knew as soon as I checked my comment there would be a massive bitch fight over this. Plenty of similar pics to this with Republican personalities as the target. Sometimes they’re funny, but too often they’re overloaded with partisan crude spite and lacking in humor. Funny fail.
Does this mean Joe Biden is HIS bitch?
(and I ain’t reading 140some comments to find out if I’m the first to say that)
Look, regardless of whether you’re Republican or Democrat, if you look over the last 100 pictures featured on PunditKitchen, you’ll instantly notice that it is severely biased against the GOP. Even though I’m Republican, I don’t really care which side they make fun of more…until PunditKitchen becomes offensive. This definitely crossed the line for me; it didn’t just mock someone’s beliefs, it attacked a woman who has done great things, and it degraded her in a very negative way.
I’m not impressed at all. Please, Pundit Kitchen, I don’t care what side you take…but keep it above the belt.
“Great things”, rofl.
Waitwaitwaitwait…are you talking about Hillary? What has she done? I mean, she’s been a senator longer than Barry, but that’s about it.
Granted, I don’t generally toss names around because it weakens my arguments, but seriously…
It’s based on humor, and face it, the right isn’t funny. Republicans aren’t clever. The people who are funny and clever enough to think of the good jokes and captions are all on the left. It’s not a manufactured bias, it’s a natural consequence.
This one? It’s funny because it’s true. Palin is less qualified than a sack of hammers. Is it better without the ‘bitch’ reference?
It’s based on humor, and the right just isn’t funny. Republicans aren’t smart. The people who are funny and smart enough to come up with the popular captions are on the left. It’s not a manufactured bias, it’s a natural consequence. It’s also not a coincidence.
This one? It’s funny because it’s true. Palin is less qualified than a sack of hammers, and has never done anything of consequence. Does it make it any better with the objectionable word removed?
Breaking this down grammatically:
There are 2 possibilities for speaker of this statement: Obama, or an off-camera unknown narrator.
In both cases, the word “this” is assumed to be the dog he is holding.
If Obama is the speaker, then the word “his” (running mate) would refer to McCain. If an off-camera narrator is the speaker “his” would have to refer to Obama, as there is no other indicator that others are involved at this point.
“She’d” would seem too refer back to “this” (the dog), though it could be argued that with Palin as a known quantity that could be refered too, it could in fact mean Palin. In either case, “She” is more qualified than Obama, as “bitch” is an insulting pronoun referring back to “she”. She again could reference both the dog or Palin.
Thus, if Obama is speaker, he is saying: “If this dog was McCain’s running mate, it would still be more qualified than I am.”
If an off-camera narrator is speaking, they are saying: “If this dog was Obama’s running mate, it would still be more qualified than (I am/Palin).”
Note that in the second case, the speaker could be saying the dog is more qualified than Obama, which would grammatically make sense, or they could be saying the dog is more qualified than Palin, which would imply a relationship of Dog>Palin>Obama and thus does not make sense that Palin would be the refered to she in that instance.
In each way this is an insult to Obama. In no way can this be read as an insult to Palin without insulting Obama more, though it could be used to insult both. If this was not the intention of the writer, they should be more careful with their pronoun usage.
Where do you get the Dog>Palin>Obama? I read it as an off-camera speaker saying: “And if this were Obama’s running mate, She’d still be the more qualified bitch.” Thus the speaker would be saying that if Obama had chosen the dog as his running mate, the dog would still be more qualified than Sarah Palin.
Sarah Palin is more qualified than Obama! Obama was a senator for less than 2 years when he decided he was ready for the Presidency! To say anyone is less qualified than Barack Obama is ridiculous! He’s running on his skin color and socialism, nothing more.
A pronoun isn’t supposed to reference something that hasn’t already been established in the sentence. Thus “This” must be the dog, and “His” really should refer to Obama, due to lack of reference.
I’m sure your way is what the writer intended, but that’s not what they wrote.
The only other interpretation that could be taken, which would be a stretch, would be to say that the “she” is refering to “his running mate” meaning Biden (not that it’s saying Biden is a she, but rather that the dog is the she and is being compared to his running mate which has no defined sex and thus could be Biden). But I find it hard to argue that a dog would have more experience than Biden no matter which side of the aisle you’re on. However, this sets up the comparison dog>Biden>Obama, so Obama comes out badly in the end again.
If it was intended as a Palin slam (which it seems is likely) the writer has not done it well.
Um. As the person who LOLed this, you’re right on the mark.
Wasn’t that a tl;dr grammar waste.
If only the lolcat forums could be so involved.
But you’re still retards, for the most part
And you’re here too.. funny about that. Now, if you leave, the mean IQ will go up 30 points.
Dude…back off mr. troll!
eddie is possibly the least trollish person on these boards Ms. Belle. Please do not suggest otherwise.
FTW.
FTW!
Double-posting FTW… ?
ROFLCOPTER! That’s awesome!
And so, so true.
Note to all the scary republican trolls out there on this thread (excuse the use of the word troll, I’m used to posting on the cat threads):
Now presenting the world’s longest shush:
Sssssssshhhhhhhhhuuuuuussssshhh….
Maybe there is a reason that lol’s about your party are more abundant…y’all take offense so easily, it’s more fun to make fun of ya? Or maybe just because republicans are more make fun of able.
And you’re now the moderator? I don’t recall seeing a vote.. I AM a Republican, but I don’t think I’m a troll.
She was addressing the trolls, eddie. You’re excused from this announcement.
oh, ok!
*slowly backs away*
Yes…it just seems that the republi-trolls are being more rude than the demi-trolls. Hence my calling them out. You only fall under troll in the rude to lol’s IQ…which may be permissable, because it was kinda funny.
Ok, I can be quasi-troll, but only because I have been known to unleash that side of me on occasion.
Scrubs refference FTW.
Yes.
Dr. Cox for president, please.
Nah, Dr. Cox for VP. Janitor for pres.
Janitor’s dad for pres. Janitor can be Secretary of State.
The little dog’s poop would be a better veep than Palin. She disgusts.
I’m not an obamaphile or anything but you HAVE to admit that’s funny. I mean 10 points for proper use of term.
0 points for classy. Getting a word right doesn’t privilege you to use it offensively.
-10 points for failure to use grammar correctly and make a clear point.
I’m sure I’m not the only person here who is pretty freakin’ tired of the stupid Admin of this site letting all these derogatory terms against women being used all the time. Sure as hell bet this guy won’t let pics labeled with “Spic” or “Nigger” get posted, but “Bitch” and “Trollop” are ok. Heck, why stop at playing nice at just call every woman a “Cunt”?
Maybe you should try “Lil’ Sambo” as a derogatory term for Obama since Palin is quoted as saying this about him… Just like McCain has been quoted as calling Hillary a “bitch” and his own wife a “trollop” and a “cunt.”
Yeah, I don’t know who I’m voting for yet and I winced when I saw this. If you don’t like her politics, go after that. Sexism isn’t cool. I wouldn’t like it aimed at Hilary either. I have plenty of other, less stupid things to not like Hilary over.
It just cracks me up that everyone thinks Obama’s more qualified… He went from nothing to being a senator to the democratic nominee in 2 freaking years… 2 YEARS…
Palin has been governor for 2 years and was a mayor and in charge of a company before that…
She’s WAY more qualified to be VP than he is to be President.
Obama:
Harvard law degree. 8 years in the IL state senate. Over ten years teaching congressional law.
Palin:
4 colleges in 5 years. A degree in Communications. Running a town with a huge meth problem into $20 million debt, bankrupting the Matanuska Maid dairy, and losing the carwash because she couldn’t be bothered to file the paperwork. Staffing important positions with her high school BFFs.
She’s perfectly qualified to be a republican candidate.
fasfan, it cracks me up that you watch more fox news than actually thinking independently. Your argument is worth about as much as the US dollar will be with 4 more years of the current SPEND policy. Geez let’s give the rich bigger tax cuts, not much for the middle class, fund a multi-trillian dollar war, and keep asking countries such as China for money. That’s fiscal responsibility. Even Greenspan basically called McCain’s increased tax cuts moronic (and if you don’t know, which you probably don’t, Greenspan is as republican as it gets). Sad fact of the matter is that whomever gets elected WILL have to raise taxes to pay for 8 years of Bush’s spending spree with the Corporate USA credit card. Remember in 1988, “Read my lips, no new taxes!”. Funny, that statement got Bush Sr elected, but also cost him re-election, since he wrote into law the largest overall tax increase in history, which he had to do before the USA went completely bankrupt, why, because Reagan’s trickle down policy was a huge failure, and someone had to pay for it. So, McCain can claim to give tax cuts, but if he is the straight talk express he’s severely senile. I guess he’s nothing but a say whatever it takes to become president because this is my last chance statement.
Holy crapolla. This is so funny I just choked on my spaghetti!
How uncalled for…
…I would think that her policies and lack of experience would be enough to make fun of her about, but I guess some people can’t help but bring sexism into it.
Wassamatta? Did the VP candidate emasculate someone?
I hate Sarah Palin. For her policies. Refer to her as a “bitch” is no better than had you referred to Barack Obama as a “nigger”. But I bet you’d be ok with the former and not the latter.
Oh, fuck this. I can’t stand Sarah Palin, but now I am compelled to defend her.
This presidential race has really exposed how very sexist the Democrats are. I’m a Democrat, but I’m facing misogyny from my own party.
Coverage of Hillary Clinton during the primaries was really, really sexist. The fact that her cleavage became a news item is appalling. It says that even successful women, even brilliant, Ivy league educated women are still primarily valued as sex objects.
The term “sex object” is not some kind of hysterical feminazi creation. It’s really not. As a woman, I am a sex object first, and then everything else. I can’t opt out, and neither can Hillary, and neither can Sarah Palin.
Because let’s be honest. Is Sarah Palin under qualified for the Vice Presidency? Yes. Was a nasty PR move on the part of the McCain campaign to pick a woman just because she was a woman? Yes.
But here’s the thing. Sarah Palin is a very successful woman, and she has succeeded in the face of lots of adversity. She’s more qualified than I am, and if you’re spending your time looking this kind of shit up, I’m willing to bet that she’s more qualified than you too.
Don’t call her a bitch. Just don’t do it. It’s not just “bad language,” it’s a misogynist slur.
I don’t doubt her qualifications as a politician, but I do doubt her readiness to run the country, considering she cannot comprehend what the Bush Doctrine is. And what is up with this sexist crap. We make fun of McCain for being an ancient, senile, wasp of an old man. Obama for having a funny name, Hilary for the bitter older lady on a power trip, Bush for being a stupid drunk, Bill Clinton for being a redneck womanizer, etc. There are stereotypes for everyone, whether it’s right or wrong, unless something is OBVIOUSLY sexist, manist, hickist, ageist, etc. LET IT GO. Things will be said, politically incorrect jokes will be cracked. It’s the issues that matter and I will attack McCain and Palin on the ISSUES, nothing else. That and they’re running the most despicable lowlife campain probably in all of history. Please, for the love of god, Vote for Obama. Any intelligent person knows that lipstick comment was not sexist in any way and was just nothing more than an old metaphor representing the failed coverup for a failed policy. Get over it.
As the uppity bitch who LOLed this, I resemble that remark.
As a rule, when a woman gets called a bitch, I consider it a compliment. Men have been calling women with a mind of their own who wonโt roll over on issues โbitchโ for millennia. Hilary Clinton is DEFINITELY a brilliant, strong, powerful BITCH.
Therefore, I apologize that I dignified a no-talent ho like Sarah Palin with the term โbitch.โ
P.S. If you are offended, the exits are โhereโ and โhere.โ Maybe sticking to cheeseburgers and hotdogs would be a better fit for you.
There. Have I pissed everyone off yet?
THIS DEMEANS WOMEN
Actually, if you want demeaning, I think the Olympic uniforms for the American women’s volleyball team take the cake. I don’t understand how they can even hit the ball given how many wedgies they must be pulling out of their butt cracks! Bleah!
No, this is what you call black humor (*gasp*! I’m a racist, too!). Please to watch “The Vagina Monologues” if you really want to understand where I’m coming from instead of knee-jerking. If your sense of humor and intelligence is transcendent enough, it’s fucking hilarious.
The truly demeaning thing, the thing that turns my stomach to acid, is the Repugs dangling Sarah Palin in front of all the women in America, assuming that they – and of course, the fundies – will vote for her just because she has a vagina. Even more insulting is the idea that women who would vote for the eminently qualified Hilary would blindly vote for Palin when the only quality they share is a vagina.
And the thing that really nauseates me is that there are a lot of women who donโt use their god-given brains who are eating it up, hook line and sinker. That is one of the most anti-woman things Iโve ever seen.
P.S. One of those silly-sounding words, isnโt it? Vagina vagina vagina vaginaโฆ
Bravo. Well said. It terrifies me how many fairly modern minded women are eating this up, as you put it. Although I do wonder if the numbers of moderates and Dems that are supposedly going for team Palin (vomit) aren’t being exaggerated.
LOL, you, I like!
looks like all we need her is some lipstick.
im nervous,
if anybody listens to debates and what is good for our country, as educated human beings, we should all be agreeing with obama.
the fate of this country is far more important than religious views, and or if your parents are conservative,
listen to a debate.
trickle down economics has only further impaired our country,
lets be serious here.
by the way,
as a female,
i would rather anyone BUT Palin, in this race,
because as a woman,
she does not support anything that we have worked so hard to have.
such as a choice,
it is a step back for feminists across this country, definitely, not a step forward.
I can’t believe you people make a debate out of this like the damn talking heads on tv news; you could write a theory paper with all these comments. It’s just a LOL photo, it could be looked at either way, the poodle referring as hillary or sarah.
Oi
Yeah… since nobody has bothered posting this….
OBAMA WON!!!!
hmmmm…after a long a strenuous read through this plethora of comments, I have come to see that no matter what “side” of the government, whether it be Repub, Demo, Inde, or any other minoity party, there are good and bad people in this party, and because of this, no party is “better” than the other, and while some seem to have had more detrimental effects on the country, it is still not fair to automatically assume a party is evil or stupid.
The biggest problems Ive seen in these government debates all revolve around self preservation or greed. Those with power and money do do NOT want to give it up, and will do anything, legal or illegal to keep it. Those without power do anything they can to GET that power. its always a struggle to be rich, famous, powerful, or any combination of those. even the most well meaning person, if given power and money, becomes biased to ideas that keep that power and money flowing. This is capitalistic thinking, and its seen in the smallest of instances. Our government, whether it is controlled by conservatives or liberals, will always be controlled by the greedy and powerful.
Over time, this is, in my own opinion, why eventually all governments fail. In the end, no matter the intentions and best interests the governing body had in mind, it is destroyed by humankind’s own tendency to be selfish and greedy: to want more than we need, take more than we should and feel the need to be better than our neighbor.
I believe the only way to “make things better” is to decide to change ourselves. This ideal/opinion I have shown is up for a complete debate, as I know many people have differing opinions beliefs and standards. This is why I love America. so many different ideals, and beliefs.
One Love
You, sir, are pure awesome. You aren’t afraid to see the ugly truth, you aren’t afraid to reveal the ugly truth, from which most people hide. I salute you and your convictions to reach the truth.
LMAO @ idiots discussing politics in here
drrrrrrrrrrrrrr
WOOoooT! i read everything!!!
now where’s my cookie???
I WAS TOLD THERE WOULD BE COOKIES!!!!
