If you talk like a sexist, you are a sexist. Sorry. But I will say that you are the less threatening kind, but just as insidious because you think a woman deserves a different playing field from men. It's just that the playing field you are proposing is a lot easier than more difficult, which makes things seem less problematic. But it's not.

Would a Republican like to explain this, because it makes absolutely no sense.
Where do you gather that?

Is it because they're that similar? That neither one of them really deserves to be in their position? At least for Obama I can say that he's in his position because people not named John McCain voted him into it.


Boy, did you say a mouthfull
HE is where he is because the SUPER DELEGATES gave it to him, it sure was NOT THE PEOPLE!!

No...I firmly stand by anyone under investigations of any kind stick to what their lawyer says.

Sorry, that's just one of my pet peeves. "Your" = belonging to you.

I'm crushed. Seriously though, I'm about to slit my wrists with a broken Dashboard Confessional CD. Please give me some credit, or my carpets will get stained.

I didn't get answered in the topic I posted this in, so maybe I'll get an answer here.



She goes to a Pentecostal church. That doesn't sound very non-denominational to me. I've been to Pentecostal services, even had people holding onto my shoulders speaking in tongues and all that jazz. And "Bible-believing Christian?" As opposed to a non-Bible-believing Christian? Verbiage like that makes me question where everything else I'm reading is coming from.



Well, we have an ethical probe and a budget for Wasilla that was left >$20M in the rojo as Palin left City Hall. Is this the meaning of fiscal conservatism these days? Why did she leave Wasilla millions of dollars in the hole?



Do as I say and not as I do?



Why?



I want to know why we need taxpayer-funded public schools to do this when we have tax-exempt churches with Sunday schools that are better suited for this.



Will parents also be allowed to opt out of the creationism teaching? Will there be more book-banning?



What the hell does "explicit" mean? Oh, it's a diagram of a penis. Big whoop. Maybe some straight talk might've done her daughter some good.



If I'm to believe what I read here, the press was fawning over her yesterday.

Anyway, this is by no means complete, but it's a good start.


ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzz

And as a woman, I hope she holds her own. I'd honestly hate to see any woman fail in such circumstances, given the newness of a woman for such a position. But if she is going to hit the ball out of the park, she first has to step up to the plate.

I guess you have no questions or nothing to add to the conversation.

You know, I don't want to get too proud of myself, but I think I frustrate y'all.

he voted only 18% against these
