'Harm's Way'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I gritted my teeth and checked the comments on a local news board, and the radical righties are ecstatic. She hunts! She skins her own critters! She understands that a woman's job is to be a mother first! She's in charge of a great big state! And she blew the whistle on her own party's corruption!
Apparently she has a bass boat, too. She's One Of Us!
The youngest - 4 months - also has Downs. Is this really a good time to take on such a political role?
Apparently this illustrates how perfect she is on the subject of family values. A Vice President who has to go home to take care of the kids is perfect for the Limbaugh lemmings.
the Alaska repubs have to be the most corrupt political organization going since the Grant administration
Are, and have been for a loooooong time.
Bristol, Willow, and Piper? Seriously? (All place names in AK.)
Sarah and Todd Palin have five children: boys Track, 19, and Trig, 4 months, and daughters Bristol, 17, Willow, 13, and Piper, 7.
Like I said-- good ol' boy. Those sound like names that'll appeal down here.
And all I can think of Trig is "She named her kid after a horse or an integral part of a gun-- either way, poor kid."
I don't know, maybe it's easier for me to be optimistic because of where I live and who I know.
Where I live, the first words from every democratic candidate I meet is "Hi I'm [insert candidate's name], I'm a pro-gun, pro-life democrat, and..."
I don't think this will change anyone's minds, though it might reassure any reluctant Republicans who were going to sulk at home. Hopefully it will also annoy enough Democrats who were also going to sulk at home.
Both McCain and Palin will get trounced in the debates.
I can't wait. It's gonna be so sweet.
The one part I'm not looking forward to is the GOP spin machine painting Biden as a misogynist the moment he steps up to the podium - it's the only card they'll have to play in the VP debates, and I don't doubt they'll hit it as hard as they can. My hope is that HRC will step forward to the press and put as much of a damper on it as she can by agreeing with everything Biden says.
And all I can think of Trig is "She named her kid after a horse or an integral part of a gun-- either way, poor kid."
I hope that when Trig gets to High School, he won't suck at trig.
I don't think this will change anyone's minds, though it might reassure any reluctant Republicans who were going to sulk at home.
I think that is very important for McCain, he needs to fire up his base.
What's the "Biden is a Misogynist" thing? Did he call his wife a cunt?
