Power to the people.
(Personally don't care if Letterman is fired but do like to see people speaking out about those who are going too far in bashing politicos in order to promote their agenda).

BTW - Letterman finally apologized. Of course, it was after the ads were pulled on CBS site. That does not come across as very sincere.

Embassy Suites, part of the Hilton Hotels Corp., pulled advertising on CBS' site because of complaints, company spokeswoman Kendra Walker told TVGuide.com. The company was not an advertiser on Letterman's show.

Only by your (liberal) description. Maybe because they say no to your stupid ideas. Kind of like the democrats did to all Republican ideas when the conservatives were in power. If you ever had kids you would know that sometime you have to say no.

5) She supports the 2nd Amendment (guns)
6) She doesn't hate spirituality

She's the exact opposite of Hillary Clinton who has a lying cheating liberal wussy man, and only had one child, and who basically turned her back on her own upbringing and culture. At least Michelle Obama doesn't turn her back on her people and upbringing like Hilary Clinton does.
Let's look at your little list, shall we, and compare:

ME:

(1) I am good-looking (at least I think I am, and have been told that I am).
(2) I've been married to the same man for almost 26 years and he's VERY good-looking by anyone's standards.
(3) I've never aborted a fetus, but then I've never been raped or incested (has SHE?????) Has she ever been raped or incested? How dare she presume what other women/girls should do. Hypocrite!!!!
(4) I have more children than Palin (like that matters)????
(5) I don't have any guns; don't care if others do or not. I have no problem using any of my Paula Dean cast iron pans if someone breaks into our house; a lot more effective and less dry-cleaning later. I know how to use them too for either cooking or as weapons if I'm ever put in the position to do so.
(6) I am spiritual too. Palin in NOT spiritual, she is a fundamentalist right-wing loon who uses religious dogma as a political tool. I also resent the fundies hijacking the Christian religion.

Okay, so you have any more "lists"??? The real reason I hate Palin is because she is a dumb a*s. It's as simple as that. Dumb a*ses like her should not have access to high office. Dummies who think that wars should be started because "God tells me so and talks to me directly and tells me to start wars" should not have access to high office. Dummies who do not know that Africa is a continent should not have access to high office. Dummies who do not know the proper noun, verb sentence structure should not be in high office. Dummies that can't list ONE measly paper that they read regularly should not be in high office. I could go on and on with my own lists, but I'll stop here.

You're absolutely right!

But yet millions of people voted one into the highest office.
What with all the 57 states and one more to go while running for the office and recently inventing a new language "Austrian"? LOL

Please don't give me the "oh, he must have been tired" excuse. I don't buy it.

What credentials does being able to pop out kid after kid give one? We went through infertility treatment, and I always say we had more children than God wanted us to have (2). Having a pack of kids is no great achievement in life. I mean, I think big families are great, but sometimes it's just a matter of luck who has the kids and who doesn't.

Popped by that "protest" yesterday. Approx 20 actual protesters and about 50 media people. Protesters handing out fliers with list of advertisers to boycott, with people asking for them, then pledging to support those advertisers. More people will probably support the advertisers rather than boycott after this ridiculous media circus.

Now if she was overridden by Democrats in her State, that doesn't mean "she" took it (and the way I understand it, Democrats were indeed opposing her rejecting any of it).
Sanford, Perry and Palin rejected the money knowing full well the state legislatures would overrule them. Nothing but politically jockeying and playing to base.

LMAO Protest? Yep I heard yesterday on the news how big the protest were, the term sparse comes to mind. Commentator mentioned that they were the same types of people who you'd see at the so called tea party protest, the insane...

Palin's acting as if she rejected all the stimulus money. When in fact, Pallin accepted $900 million in stimulus money. She rejected $28.6 million to be used for energy efficiency.
Palin rejects federal energy stimulus money, cuts projects 05/29/09

Quote:
... Palin said she won't accept funds tied to adoption of building codes by local governments.
Supposedly, she doesn't want the feds to tell her what to do. This rejection of money that will help the state is a ploy to make herself look good in the national eye. In the meantime, she's poking the eyes out of those who would benefit from this money.

Quote:
Sens. Bill Wielechowski, D-Anchorage, and Lesil McGuire, R-Anchorage, who head the Senate Resources Committee, have urged Palin to accept the money to address needs in a state with some of the highest energy costs in the nation
Quote:
They also have said many structures built with public money in rural communities through agencies such as the Alaska Housing Finance Corp. already have an energy code requirement. Also, rural projects paid for through the Denali Commission incorporate energy efficiency standards into their design.
