The Democrats really know how to love America allright. Just like the Messiah granny under the bus to voice a hateful comment like "typical white woman".

You all deserve each other, collective phonies. The only thing you like is BIG GOVERNMENT so all your B.S. public programs can be overfunded and keep you all in political jobs and keep your demographic with free government money.

Ask OBAMA about sports. He can tell you all about Basketball. Especially his workout in Germany instead of visiting the troops in the hospital alone and with some humility. I guess the irony of HIM with injured TROOPS was too much to handle without a teleprompter and press photos.
Ha ha ha!

It's fun when they get angry. They make even less sense then.

You might be waiting a while...

Hit that one right out of the ballkpark, runnswithscissors. Keep running, hon.
Yeah I know it's really hard to relate to American's concerns and ACTUAL political issues.

In case you don't know the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act (AETA) is a VERY important bill that was hotly debated and a supercharged issue in DC just 18 months ago. Even Hillary talked about it and second guessed herself when accused of voting on the wrong side. A bill that was supported by the largest lobby controlling America today some would argue. A bill that addresses Freedom of Speech and other CONSTITUTIONAL ISSUES such as the right to gather and TERRORISM all in one package.

You know...the CONSTITUTION that Barry loves to lean on, and TERRORISM, the other issue he hates to lean on?

So keep on thinking you're so smooth and sophisticated about politics.

Of course, YOU wouldn't know the first thing about it since you only know what's in Barry's bios and in his stage productions. Any political information that wasnt spoon fed to you during the campaign never made it to your thought process.

My impression of "soccer moms," "baseball moms," hockey moms," etc. are mothers who spend a lot of time in their cars driving their kids to and from practice and games and providing snacks at appropriate times. Kind of like I do, taking my kids to play rehearsal, choir, lit club, guitar lessons, etc.

Are there additional responsibilities to being a "hockey mom" that I am not aware of that somehow add to one's professional or political credentials? Or some other nuance to this title I am not getting?

Reason #18 why my wife and I will never put our kids in hockey. (also from Michigan).

Women hater? - I'm married to a women, I don't hate her. I don't hate any woman. I think the world would be empty without them - literally.

Hockey mom hater? - I NEVER said I hate hockey moms, I am related to a couple of them - my sister is one. I don't hate my sister. I was just decribing them.

Pit bull hater? - I love dogs. I've never met a pit bull though. Of course I don't know the politcal leanings of pit bulls. Do they tend to be right wing radicals?

Exactly. I don't need to feel a bond. I don't need to feel like she's just like me. I want someone smarter than I am. I want a better critical thinker. I want someone who can analyze complex policies and situations with forethought, intelligence, and compassion when necessary. I want someone who keeps their cool when there's alot at stake. Don't use that hockey mom/soccer mom crap with me. It's insulting.
