Sarah Palin!

[Coffee]

I am disgusted with Gov. Palin (and my friends echo the sentiment) because rushing back to work three days after the kid is born shows more concern for one's job than one's child.

No it doesn't. It only shows that she was willing and able to go back to work. The amount of time a woman takes off of work does not equate to how much concern she has for the child.

Perhaps when you are on your fifth kid, you just don't give a damn anymore.

Joking? Please say yes.

 

[Lisa Simpson]

And you do not know Palin or her children.

What does that have to do with anything?!! You are the one who tried to compare my kids to hers (BTW, you don't know how well adjusted her kids are either). Keep up with your own argument, please.

I'm not sure what you mean by this.

This is what I mean:

I would not have voted for McCain anyway

Which has been pretty clear for some time. Your disgust with Palin has no impact on your vote.

and Palin adds no appeal to me. I disagree with her on every issue.

I was just questioning why Cicero would think that "your vote is dependant [sic] on how much time [Sarah Palin] spends with her kids"

 

[applecorped]

For them, no.

For me, that's what I'm trying to establish. Thus far you're not exactly answering my question. What does she bring to the table?

I will say that she brings to the ticket something the Democrats could not, a female.

 

[Cicero]

There you go again with your "proclaimed" inventions. I won't bother asking you to support it like last time ("Penn, Streisand have proclaimed 9/11 to be an inside job."). I just find it funny that you continue to contribute to a critical thinking forum. As if.

***"...Hillary told us in no uncertain terms that she'll do everything she can to elect Barack Obama. That makes two of us. Actually, that makes 18 million of us, because like Hillary I want all of you who supported her to vote for Barack Obama in November..."*** Willie Jefferson

Judging by your posts, one would conclude it was a Sean Penn/Babs Streisand fan club forum. I'm thrilled you appreciate my contributions even though I am not a fan of your favorite Hollywood 911 "twoothers."

If I were chairman of the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations I might want to be able to distinguish between the various tables of organization in the U.S. military. Or do you think only those who sit on the Armed Services Committee need to know this?

You'd also probably want to know your enemies and your allies in an active war zone--for instance, you'd want to know the difference between Sunnis and Shia, and between Al Qaeda and Iranian-backed insurgent groups. You'd also want to know some basic geography of the world's hot zones--for instance, that there is no border between Pakistan and Iraq. You may also want to get up to speed on the way the world looks today, rather than during the Cold War--for instance, the fact that Czechoslovakia no longer exists.

If you want to get hung up on gaffes, look no further than John McCain.

Except that the Democrats did, 24 years ago.

What? You made a character judgment about Palin with that absurd comment: "Perhaps when you are on your fifth kid, you just don't give a damn anymore."

You were making a comparison between how she raises her kids and how you tend to yours, as well as speaking for all of those other mothers and fathers in your neighborhood on how they have a minimum standard for the "correct" amount of time a mother spends with her baby before returning to her work.

Who said McCain is not a gaffe machine? But Biden can match him for public speaking faux pas.

And as everyone knows, a vagina is extremely important when it comes to making executive decisions.

What does Palin offer in terms of benefits after the election that could not be offered by any other VP choice?

I think you answered your own question.

Well, if you anagram Obama Biden you can also get:

Media Nabob
A median Bob
A Dean Bimbo (Howard, presumably)
Babe amid? No!

Of course, you also get A Dean Bimbo...
