Saying a woman can’t pursue her professional goals AND care for her children at the same time is never a political winner–whether it’s conservatives or liberals wagging their fingers.

The hypocrisy of the left strikes, again. Just imagine the discussion if it were Gov. Palin-D., Alaska.

It’s a good turn of events. It helps McCain appeal to the white trash voting block. Once again you can see why Palin is a brilliant pick politically.

Trash? Because they keep the baby? Got pregnant? Go to church? Hunt? I am lost here … my moral compass must be broken.

I should have known it, those whacked out Republican instructors in Econ class kept telling us that a budget was what you worked “within” with the money at hand. I didn’t know that you create the budget and then went out and got the money you need to fullfill it. If the government were a ligiament business you could do it by increasing goods and or services rendered. Since the US government is not a “ligimate” business, it cannot. It just redistributes taxes to satisfy political needs. It operates far beyond the scope of the Constitution, but alas, there is not a politician out there with the cajones to chalange this.

Besides, the so called rich pay the majority of the taxes allready.

If you decided to look up “the dance” on YouTube folks; I’ll have you know we didn’t do a wimpy dance with toilet paper.

We had to stand there with three pages of the Saigon Times, tightly wrapped or we bought the Bah Moi Bah[s] or the Tegre La Rue…

Special Air Service, baby…!

Actually I served with some damn fine Brits from the SAS in Vietnam.

I, actually participated in the “Dance of the Flaming Assholes” on a table on Tudo Street in Saigon at Madame Capriccio’s Bistro.

ManlyRash on September 1, 2008 at 8:10 PM

Damn Manly, you and the “rotund sweaty guy” just can’t give it up…can you…?

It’s goin’ on eight years now since he left us with the only budget surplus since before the Civil War and enough military where-with-all to be squandered in one fell swoop of despicable “shock and awe” by Bush, Cheney, Rummy and Franks in Iraq…!

Get over it…!

On a blog, Mcguyver; “brevity is the soul of wit”…!

If you’re giving a class on demolitions to the team it does require a long lesson plan, no doubt.

Brevity when bloggin’ me lad…!

Is that a reference to a Disney park, or one of the movies (2003 & 2006)?

However, as I’ve never been to any Disney park, nor seen either movie, perhaps it doesn’t matter.

Thanks MB…me dear Mother told me I might be half Irish…? –

Let’s not insult the Hibernians. I’ll settle for half idiot and half blowhard.

My golden retriever eats pugs, although he considers Democrat pugs to be junk food.

Both a fool and a brigand am I, I actually enjoyed Pirates of the Caribbean, immensely.

At least he didn’t spend time in Oxford, England agitating against his own country during wartime.

heh. My golden retriever says:

Woof…double standard.

My dog, Fred, the pug says:

*snort*

Do you have any food?

Fred is a democrat, if you hadn’t guessed.

and do not see how poorly many of these issues will play with the political center….

Big S on September 1, 2008 at 7:00 PM

GUUUD GRIEF!!!

You are demonstrating self-importance, to the point of out-doing Obama!!

At least Obama doesn’t pretend to hide his self-importance.

You on the other hand, attempt to sublimely embed it in an unbiased, concerned perspective.

Bunk. PURE unadulterated horse shit!!

Just as *Rush Limbaugh has pooh-pawed you centrists 100,000 million times…. you are far too obsessed with your “intelligent” middle-of-the-road-important-”judgement”… so as not to offend the KP’s of the world!!

*Yeah, I know you don’t like Rush Limbaugh.. which is just so revealing in so many ways, not the least of which he makes millions per year pontificating and you suck at commentating.

Granted, independents may swing elections, but, you, because you listen to the MSM and your libtards friends religiously, to make SURE YOU DIDN’T MISS a possible little nugget worth mentioning, are on the wrong and non-winning side of this debate, with the above comments.

Just as an example, from your guote:

McCain’s throwing away the advantages he had based on Obama’s abortion stances, inexperience, connections to extreme characters, etc.

The Palin pregnancy is exactly what Obama didn’t want!
And, it forces the conversation and highlights Obama’s support for infanticide.

Inexperience? So if their greatest concern is that something happens to McCain, then, our, greatest concern is that nothing happens to Obama, if elected. No?

Connections to extreme characters? Like what, moose in heat?

I know, I know.. anything that is not centrist is extreme to you centrists.

Duh.

Let’s try this…. If you were in *charge of a company and the supervisor you hired, refuses to fire an employee that goes over bounds, on numerous occasions, what would you do?
…Insult your supervisor and fire the employee yourself?!

*Yea I know, you pessimists are too scared to actually run anything and be accountable for your decisions, unlike Barracudas with an extra alpha chromosome.

What you pessimists DO NOT understand, is, what’s really going on here…. every tough issue that Obama never wanted to boomerang in his face, has just been given a shuttle launching pad to go into the stratosphere.

The more Obama – or the libtard minions – fights it, the more it highlights all his extreme issues.

And I say, bring it on…. The libtards can take these issues as high into the stratosphere as they want to.
They will NOT go away!!

ManlyRash on September 1, 2008 at 8:00 PM

Thanks. I think I’ve read all of that, and that’s why I am not concerned about Palin’s actions. My worry is about her opponents’ actions from now through the election. Her anti-corruption activities have made some powerful enemies in Alaska.

Yeh, that’s the guy who never served one damn minute in any man or women’s; Army, Navy, Marine, Air Force or Coast Guard…

At least Ronald Reagan made movies on the value and use of contraception for the troops…!
