Why a Pitbull? (campaign, statistics, Obama, speech)

[baobob girl]

I am not trying to attack anyone, I am just honestly asking why the idea of a pit bull is appealing? From a young age, children are taught not to fight but to work out differences so why would be want someone who is so proud to be vicious in the white house? I would think we would want someone who can listen and access a situation before just striking out in anger and power. I am not saying that there isn't a time to be fierce and fight for what you believe in but should we really be starting out that way??

I have a pitbull, I'm offended that they compare my lovely dog to that dog with a turkey neck

You forgot that she is also proud to be called a baracuda. Pit bull, barracuda - makes for an appealing picture of a VP doesn't it?

I don't understand why some politician would purposely call herself a b*tch.

Some women call themselves b*tches and are proud of it

As far as the pit bull thing...I love pits and will be getting one soon and I too take offense to the comparison

Sorry the metaphor was lost. She was referring to fighting back for herself and her pride in her resume and family after being attacked all week in ways never remembered in the current history of politics. The Mi. delgates were wearing hockey jerseys to show support.

Maybe her speech was boring and you didn't notice that the context was comparing her resume to OBAMA's and his campaigns snide dismissal of her and full court press attack on her (and now even subtle constant MISINFORMATION CAMPAIGNING . BIDEN "mistakenly" referring to her as a Lieutenant Gov at his press conference and OBAMA himself "mistakenly" citing statistics from her former city instead of stats about the state of ALASKA in his put down".)

The nod to the hockey delegates was made waiting for the teleprompter to fix itself and catch up.

You didnt notice that she was attacked viciously all week everywhere? I can understand your confusion then. Hope this helps.

GO look at US WEekly cover and maybe you can relate to how she felt. Even the info in the article is lies.
