She is a role model now, whether she was before or not. Want to know why? Because she took a stand for what she beleives in. She didn't back down. She wasn't going to be intimidated. I admire her.
I think Lucky was talking about Moakler, not Prejean. Here comes the shocker...wait for it....I actually agree w/Lucky about this one. I don't think Moakler could be viewed as a role model, did you see that reality show she was in w/Travis?? In the meantime, it seems like she's been trying to clean up her image, so I guess kudos for that, but we won't soon forget her hijinks w/Paris Hilton & the like.

In short, she is a bimbo and about as smart as a box of rocks.
Apparently, Miss Rhode Island Alysha Castonguay's suggestive photos for Maxim are ok for some people but these very people have given a problem with photos that were not suppose to be released to the public and certainly were not a photo shoot from Carrie Prejean

Who cares? She has a right to express her opinion, so if the director doesn't believe in that do something else.

Whats upsetting to me is this story gets 5-6 threads and our veterans who suffer from PTSD get what one thread.

What do you mean it wasn't a photo shoot? What would you call it? There's a camera, a photographer, a location, & posing. Sounds like a photo shoot to me.

Ok, everybody just take a deep breath and chill out a little. Discuss the topic and leave all personal commentary out of your posts.

On subject of the OP, I am neither liberal or conservative. I am a a member of the "Just Me" political party. But I think she has the right to her opinions. America needs to stop being so afraid of expressing their own opinions about current issues. We do not have to agree with whatever is currently PC with the herd. We are still free to have our own views and should not fear reprisal for expressing them. This was not an elected official running for office, trying to win your votes by acting like they care about what you care about. This was a beauty contest. Her views not matching your views is no reason to remove her title. This was Miss California, not Miss Politically-Correct!

And as far as the topless pics are concerned, I have heard several stories. And if this was indeed a photo taken without consent at a photo shoot between pics, we should be hearing about the lawsuit soon enough.

PS. If anyone would like to join in my new party venture, just let me know via a DM. Yes, I am totally serious. The "Just Me" party will be exactly what it sounds like. A group of freedom loving Americans with some similar views and some conflicting views bound together by the unifying stance of freedom and equality. No need to be bound by the two party system and their guidelines. "Just Me" means you have your own views, and they don't fall under any one party's guidelines. Basically, we would be conserliberunitarian with a dash of salt and olive oil party.

not news- Some blonde bimbo beauty resigns because some blonde bimbo beauty queen disagrees with her precious viewpoints.

meanwhile in the world that matters Our Soldiers are getting killed in two Wars that are out of control and should end.

Highly unlikely since Trump said he would love to have Perez back next year as a judge.

Regardless of the right's assertion that this is a 'free speech' issue, it's not. She LIED when she signed her contract, she LIED when the pictures were released. She's just an outright LIAR.

And by those like you, on the far left, making such an issue of your feelings, you are keeping her in the news - and now that the issue of her title has been settled, by continuing to spew your hatred of her - you and your kind, have given her a platform from which to speak even more.

PLUS, the constant attacks on her by the left, have actually made more people listen to her because they feel sorry for her -

Think.

Good for her. She has a platform, some people blindly support her because she has stated what they also believe. Fine. Doesn't change the fact that she's a liar. And, if stating the proveable fact that she's a liar garners more support for her from the right, it proves that the right will accept ANYONE into their fold who parrots their beliefs. Because of her LIES, there are many on the right, the left and in the middle who don't support her because she's a liar.

Think.
