I think a better comment on Ms. Palin's morals is the decision not to abort her youngest child, despite knowing that the baby had Down's Syndrome.

I agree, or the fact that she enjoys shooting wolves from helicopters and wants to take polar bears off the endangered species list... We might as well go ahead and finish the last 6 or 7 off right??? ha ha Maybe all those years of dousing herself with hair spray and products to be a beauty queen got to her
She's a nut...

I think all politicians are nuts - you would have to be to want to be in the public eye and have the world look for every opportunity to rip your character to shreds, jump on every word you mutter to twist and turn your words, etc.

One of my feelings about politicians? very shallow creatures...of the Newt class...
and I might make a very nice wife to the right lady....if she was tall, vivacious and funny, brown hair...took her job very seriously as a medical doctor...and her name was Lori...I might be able to get out that old toothbrush from my 'ditty bag...the one I used to clean the cracks out of the wooden floor grooves at Paris Island, and go back to cleaning..
We each had two...the good one was for cleaning our rifle and the barracks...the cheap one was for our teeth...
I've always remembered that and and you triggered the memory, HB...the valuable things in life are used to care for the other valuable things in life...
As the 'salad days of youth pass, GHO's mental perspective will swell (with his stock portfolio) and change...

re : "if you don't vote for Obama, you're a racist."
State Rep. Thomas Letson, is a white democrat who beat his Republican incumbent by getting virtually all of the black vote. He represents Warren, Ohio, which is 25% black. By making extremist comments like the one shown below, he is setting the stage for the biggest meltdown in American race relations in history.

DK I had 2 toothbrushes too, but the good one was for my teeth. I learned never to rely on the government for anything to do with personal welfare because it's not in their vocabulary. They got their rifle back, and I kept the teeth I was allowed to keep. 3 impacted molars got yanked out in 20 minutes with novacane not given time to work. That 20 minutes worth of mutual incompetence landed me in the hospital w/massive infected dry sockets for 2 weeks.
Appears that circumstances dictate the lessons we walk away with as individuals. I'm no longer obedient to authority when it puts me in harms way unless it's the mission I signed up for in the first place. Very few in life are worthy of blind loyalty.

Since the days of Colonel Puller, the Marine Corps has never been a part of the government...Marines rely on Marines...
Circumstance do dictate the lessons of life...its like a special crafted personal package...ours only...teaches patience, understanding and in the end wisdom, if we are receptive...
blind loyalty? 'To thine ownself...be true...
Worked then...works now...the beginng of all things...

Well, that seemed to get somebody's attention.
“Third parties are not allowed on the ballot for missing deadlines, as was the case for our campaign in West Virginia, yet the Texas secretary of state’s office believes Republicans and Democrats to be above the law.”

Democrat and Republican parties both missed the deadline to be on the ballot in Texas.
My thoughts are . .
Law was rendered meaningless today in the state of Texas.
Allowing Democrat and Republican candidates to be on the ballot in Texas for the presidential election is disregard for law, not only by these two political parties, the government of Texas, but by its highest court. For the Democrats and Republicans to be on the ballot in Texas is election fraud, in effect, meaning both parties are criminal, as is the government of Texas, and its highest court. This action sets in motion, a dissolution, as it undoes and unbinds the citizen from their obligation to obey law, because two sets of law, one for the powerful, and one for the meek, is not democracy, but tyranny. If this is what is presented to us as a form of government, for some to be "above the law", at will, it does represent us as a people.
Despite the law, the Texas Supreme Court ruled not to remove the Democrat and Republican candidates from the Texas ballot. Judgement was issued without opinion (or explanation).
Supreme Court of Texas Orders 09/23/2008
Obviously, I’m disappointed for a couple of reasons. I think it’s clear that the Secretary of State broke the law by certifying the late nominations of both parties, so I’m disappointed that the petition was denied. I’m also disappointed that the Supreme Court declined to hear oral arguments or even issue an opinion explaining their ruling, so now we’ll never know what convoluted reasoning they used to deny the petition. To paraphrase Ben Bradlee, we may have lost, but that doesn’t mean we were wrong.
