Lets makes this clear. Palin doesn't deserve to be anywhere near a position of power. She lacks the knowledge, understanding, intelligence, judgement, and reason to do the things those positions require. Mccain, although i disagree with almost all of his positions, has enough of those qualities to do those things. The idea of someone like Palin being in position of great power scares the crap out of me.
You think? I didn't realize, I thought you just mindlessly followed far right wing talking points. Oh wait you do.
Hello, sailor Source: Drawing Power (Seattle Post-Intelligencer) Link: http://blog.seattlepi.nwsource.com/davidhorsey/archives/150535.asp Title: "Sarah Palin's wink factor", by David Horsey Date: October 4, 2008 Seattle P-I editorial cartoonist David Horsey notes that Republican vice-presidential nominee Gov. Sarah Palin did not, as many Democrats and liberals expected, crash and burn during the debate with Sen. Joe Biden. Not that Seattle's Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist was sold on the Palin bandwagon, of course. The result is somewhat in line with what he had predicted (see, topic post, or Horsey's blog article, "Prediction: Palin will do well"; see also "Lowered Expectations", October 5, 2008). But one strange result of the debate is that the poisonous talk of sexism has once again entered the discussion. This time it comes from ... well, it's hard to say unexpected direction, but still .... Indeed, the spectre that haunted Hillary has returned to the campaign. Apparently, a female candidate cannot be successful without being sexy. Five words: Imagine John McCain being sexy. Five more words: Imagine Bill Clinton being sexy. And five more: Imagine Ronald Reagan being sexy. Are you scarred for life? Deal with it. Now, I admit it's a bit easier to imagine Barack Obama being sexy, but the point is that he doesn't have to. Indeed, Ronald Reagan, often-called "The Great Communicator", had about his presentation a certain sense of charm that was, ultimately, as the cliché has it, folksy. But did anyone think he was being sexy? Sure, there were questions about Dan Quayle in '88. Would women vote for him just because he was "cute" or allegedly looked like Robert Redford? Indeed, what would we say to a woman whose rationale for voting Obama is, "Well, I may not agree with his policies, but I get wet just looking at him"? She's hot? That's what one of Horsey's liberal friends said of Palin. I'll invoke some sexist rhetoric of my own in disagreement: No, I probably wouldn't kick her out of bed. Then again, I wouldn't hop in the sack with her in the first place unless I was drunk enough to make a serious error in judgment. And as to whether any of that has to do with her qualifications as vice-presidential candidate? I respectfully disagree with Mr. Lowry. It doesn't matter, and it shouldn't matter. And if it's some sort of prerequisite that a female candidate has to be sexy in order to be successful, we've got a long way to go. Imagine President Bush in a sexy white dress, with stockings and garters, giving his "mission accomplished" speech aboard an aircraft carrier. And he opens with, "Well, hello sailor." Don't bother stabbing your eyes out. It won't erase the image in your mind. ____________________ Notes: Horsey, David. "Prediction: Palin will do well". Drawing Power.

Well, wasn't that just funny. Man, your just cracking everyone up! Good job! Now, go back to your village, they miss you.

What are you guys, iceaura puppets? I ask iceaura a question and two other people answer for him. Pretty funny. What a cute little slam. It's practically meaningless, but cute. Is that really your argument? This place is getting more and more humorous. It's funnier than a barrel of Liberals. I can't wait to hear what you have to say after McCain and Palin are elected. On second thought, I can wait. In fact, I really don't want to hear it. Whining always annoys me.
Oh you don't need to wait, I'll say it now: "Told you they were going to win." It like irony so bright it blinds! My eyes! someone help get me some vodka to reducing the burring sensation from on my cornea!
