This Bristol Palin shit is fun! What a little skank ho' like Jenna! Prob is Hockey Mommy apparently never saw what lil skank daughter was doing. She was way too busy forcing the Wassila PTA to put creationism in the classroom of the Wassila Public Schools. Nice. Real Nice. At least Laura Bush had some good sense to get over to the White House communications office to try to scrub the net clean of Jenna-Skank. Oh my eight years later and mommies don't know what kids are up to on My Space and Facebook. Ouch! Now we hear that stud BF Levi Johnston and Missy Bristol decided on ABORTION for their lil baby. Bigger OUCH. Mmmm Jimmy Dobson et alia must be shitting their boxers today.
Okay I know "schadenfreude" is sinful....but this is just getting way too much fun.

On the morning shows its become evident that the RNC wants to neutralize damage being done to the campaign by 'bloggers". It seems that if the MSM is no longer a real threat of speaking truth to power but the blogs do to good of a job uncovering truth. To the RNC TRUTH and Honesty are enemies- Remember they like to create their own reality and wrap their own facts to fit a policy or intiative.

It's amazing how Scarbourgh, Lieberman, Buchanan all think Palin is not a tool of the religious right and is a true maverick just like McCain. It is amazing that all three can lie to the American people, all the time.

I just read on the Chicago Tribune's website that the Republicans passed a vote last night on reproductive rights which would ban all abortions for any reason with no exceptions for rape, incest, or threat to the life of the mother. So in spite of what John McCain says, this is what he will be running on.

Since they have nothing substantial to run on...Bush has been a failure, bloody war going on, failed policies, VP pick really stinks and shows McCain has poor judgment....what can they do? Obviously, resort to their dirty politics, and attack Obama and Biden. You can expect the worst from these people.

All you pinheads and pundits(respectfully), every time Buchannan opens his trap, you lose 1 million viewers while his mouth is moving and nothing substantial is being said. Everyone wants to dance around Palin and the pregnancy issue. Let's discuss abstinence, family planning, morals, etc. Don't these issues coincide with pro-choice values? Or does it depend on the person(s)? You all can dance around the issues but Americans are smarter than to believe these actions will go unnoticed. I don't have to be cautious with my comments and you commentators, media types had better start telling it like it is and stop pussy-footing around being politically correct.
Polly_Tics
· 1 year ago
Whereas I am hardly a fan of Buchanan and most other pundits, your math on how they lose so many viewers each time they comment is just silly. If it were true, do you not think they would change that formula? Heck, even though many folks that you and I might know foam at the mouth when we listen, does not mean that is true for much of the country (unfortunately).
As far as the media not talking more about the issue of abortion and choice goes, I think the Dems don't want to talk about it as Obama is trying to court the evangelicals and the Repub's love talking about it because they are just plain nuts. This leaves an uneven equation that will hopefully be answered (and addressed) by the Dem's to contrast the two opponents values and judgments.
The issue is winning this election and how that is done will be the ultimate solution or error in how our country is governed. Let us all hope (and pray) that Obama's campaign conducts itself as well as I think they can. Only time is going to tell us the answer...

The fact that you commented on Buchannan does not mean that my math is incorrect. What I should have indicated was that as long as he is speaking, I tune him out as I have found that most intelligent people do. Evangelicals are thinking outside the box and speaking with forked tongues. They can't have it both ways, talking morals and values and overlooking the truth. As i said before, most Americans are smarter than that.

Herbert in today's NY Times:
Here’s the deal: Palin is the latest G.O.P. distraction. She’s meant to shift attention away from the real issue of this campaign — the awful state of the nation after eight years of Republican rule. The Republicans are brilliant at distractions. Willie Horton was a distraction. The chatter about gays, guns and God has been a long-running distraction. And we all remember the Swift-boat campaign.
I totally agree with Herbert's assessment. It's a touchy road to take and it is meant to distract all of our attention so that we conveniently FORGET what happened in the past 8 years...
They are so good at distraction, it's just too bad that they suck at governing.

What WOULDN'T the GOP, the Right Wing bloggers and dittoheads and holy choirs, and their servile MSM whores spin into normalcy? "Please, Sarah's kids are off limits. Yes, Track shouldn't have been having intercourse with the family dog and taking pictures of himself doing it. But Genesis says God gave Adam dominion over all the animals, so Track was just taking the Bible a little too literally, there. The Palins gave him a good talking-to, because they are loving and involved parents, and Track is a war hero for signing up to go to Eye-ack on 9/11, when terrorists killed 3000 American citizens and it's just a terrible thing to pry into the private lives of young American children like Track, when John McCain suffered so much as a POW..."

Actually, even though I think the facts about how she lied over and over to cover up her own HYPOCRISY matters in the end, the MAIN issues are and should be about her judgment, her experience and where she stands on policies.

Diane Sawyer asks whoever female republican spokesperson this a.m. about the Palin grandkid situation. Which she gives the republican accolades and kudos too (she's getting married, she'll be a good mom, etc.) THEN Sawyer asks "What about Karl Rove calling Biden a blowhard and a doofus." Said republican spokesperson LAUGHS. Diane calls her on it and republican spokesperson says, "Oh that's just Karl Rove. He has a way with turning a phrase. Altho I'm not sure what the technical definition of 'doofus' is."

Barts: good point. Of course the answer is that things are only off limits if it the GOP who suffer. They can call Chelsea the offspring of a dog and Janet Reno (McCain) go after Michelle Obama, Kerry's patriotism, and any other attacks but if you say Foley is a pedophile, Vitter wears diapers and hookers, or Larry Craig trolls for sex in washrooms then you have crossed the line. They are Hypocrits, the religious Taliban are hypocrits. Dobson, Osteen, Robertson, Falwell are all in it for the money. Every one of these religions is after your money and the poor and middle class think they can buy their way into something after they die. HYPOCRITS

Morning tlsintx! You know, I am not surprised to see this article as I have been talking to folks about this very issue. My bet is that McCain (and ROVE) used Palin to distract and enrage the Democrats as to show everyone (in their minds) that the Dem's are sexist and THEN Sarah Palin pulls out for some reason (regarding family matters no less) so that McCain can appoint another in her place.

Very well thanks! Actually, I think that the (disgusting) GOP will come up with some horror of horror tact to smear the Democrats.

I believe that they need to maintain power as to clean up after themselves and fix the Supreme Court so that we have a HARD RIGHT court for decades to come.

Speaking of the weather, did anybody notice that the prayers that the Christian fundamentalist groups were fervently praying (for rain to drown out Barack Obama when he accepts the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination) have disrupted their convention? I believe God rewards honesty. To all of my atheist friends you would have to at least concede that this is a curious coincidence.
Is there any relationship from your comments yto the film made of some Democrat asshole who stated on film that Gustav was an answer to the Democrat prayers....? Hey, I don't expect an answer, but I sure am glad you aren't any of my kids Prof.

I have absolutely no knowledge about a film of someone praying for tropical storm Gustav. If someone was praying for a tropical storm, that is a good indication that this person is mentally unstable. I was making the point that it is very ironic that the “supposed to be Christians” were praying that the weather would interrupt the Democratic convention and in fact the weather is interrupting the Republican’s convention. As far as your feeling of exuberance because you are not one my parents, the feeling is mutual. My parents, when they were alive, wrote sentences that were grammatically correct.
