debbyski says: Her down-home, divisive and deceptive speech did nothing to cosmeticize a Republican convention that has more than twice as many male delegates as female, a presidential candidate who is owned and operated by the right wing and a platform that opposes pretty much everything Clinton's candidacy stood for -- and that Barack Obama's still does. I get no pleasure from imagining her in the spotlight on national and foreign policy issues about which she has zero background, with one month to learn to compete with Sen. Joe Biden's 37 years' experience. When asked last month about the vice presidency, she said, "I still can't answer that question until someone answers for me: What is it exactly that the VP does every day?" When asked about Iraq, she said, "I haven't really focused much on the war in Iraq." "Palin's value to those patriarchs is clear: She opposes just about every issue that women support by a majority or plurality. She believes that creationism should be taught in public schools but disbelieves global warming; she opposes gun control but supports government control of women's wombs; she opposes stem cell research but approves "abstinence-only" programs, which increase unwanted births, sexually transmitted diseases and abortions; she tried to use taxpayers' millions for a state program to shoot wolves from the air but didn't spend enough money to fix a state school system with the lowest high-school graduation rate in the nation; she runs with a candidate who opposes the Fair Pa... Very well said Debbyski, those participants at the RNC last night only cheered her because she tore into their opponent. This is not a reason to back anyone for any political office. I did not hear one positive comment from anyone about how republicans are going to make life better for anyone except themselves. It was very depressing and nasty. I felt sad for the Republicans whom seem to only be able to offer us more divisiveness and hatefulness to this country as a solution to our ECONOMY and HEALTHCARE. I was also interested in the way MCCain thanked Palins husband for the "great speech" after the his surprise appearance onstage after Pallin's speech. McCain barely acknowledged her onstage. Take a look at the body language. I think, if (god FORBID) McCain won, Palin would be pecked into the background. I fear that Palin was picked as a TOKEN woman who will be eventually impaled and sacrificed for the republican political machine. Popped for the comments. Debby are you a public speaker? You're very good at getting your point across even without the word bombs.(Although your little bombs can really get a dialogue going). Nonstatqou brought up some good points too. I really hope when it comes time to vote, the voters listen to people like you. I'm only a neighbour but our P.M. tends to idolize Bush at present and I shudder to think what he'll do if McCain gets in. I did not hear one positive comment from anyone about how republicans are going to make life better for anyone except themselves.*wild applause* I hoped you guys have checked out this clip: [url=clipper/debbyski/clip/5CBD544E-CE37-4EAA-B756-2C064BF16C28/]http://clipmarks.com/clipper/debbyski/clip/5CBD544E-CE37-4EAA-B756-2C064BF16C28/[/url] I've never bought into speculative sites such as these before, but it truly makes sense. For the life of me, I could not think of what McCain must have been thinking to pick Palin. Ok, I have made jokes about what every other red-blooded male was thinking and that's ok cause I was thinking it too! There's nobody that appreciates a hot looking babe better than me and I've had my fair share of them. But let me talk really dirty. As in politics dirty. You know the kin... They don't offer anything but fear and hate. That is what the twin wars in the twin cities are all about. The Culture War and the War on Terror. Onward Christian soldiers. Let us make the Prince of Peace weep sad bitter tears and destroy all that we say we hold dear. — Comment removed by clipper — For a super-woman, Palin leaves much to be desired. Even if the guys think she's "hot", she's probably hotter than you could stand, since I'm not sure she's working with a full deck. A woman who strongly opposes abortion even in the case of incest, rape or to protect the life of the mother is scary-you don't want her shoes parked under your bed! I mean, guys, she likes to hunt and kill - you could be her prey if you piss her off! And we saw last night that she is good at talking about who she doesn't like and why, but very, very short on the positive things she will do. So this is one "hot"one you want to stay away from! Now, daggone it! I've had to remove my own comment to get that link right; third times a charm babies . . . here is the proper link I was referring to: http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/BCFDCB00-1B06-4F32-B360-01544286FF55/ OMG, I've had to find out the hard way what men always knew . . . those kind of women can be such female doggies . . . It makes me appreciate what men go through even more so. Give me drama free people; please! And while you're at it politicians that tell the truth too. I certainly don't want to wake up in the middle of the night with a gun pointed at my head. The only loaded "gun" I want in bed is one that doesn't have a quick trigger! I did not hear one positive comment from anyone about how republicans are going to make life better for anyone except themselves.Ditto wiccantexan's "wild applause." This is a really perceptive comment. Good clip! Anything can be sold in a convention, but I don't think it will play on the street. I tried to watch a bit - Rudy Giulani was speaking - and it was so completely fabricated and misleading that I went back to my study and shut the door and worked for an hour - and even after that, didn't sleep well. Such lying! Such petty distortion! There sure are a lot of foolish women on here ! There are also a LOT MORE smart women that agree with Gov. Palin than there are hypocrite-"alledged"-femminists. If a woman REALLY believed all that femminism crap they spout -- they would be thrilled to see a woman,an everyday mom/wife,that can take care of FIVE,is it?,kids,and accomplish all she has. Lets not forget that a femminist is a femminine shauvenist,NOT a real woman.A REAL woman DOES roar ---- LIKE Sarah Palin ! Well, I have heard everything Palin had to say and as a smart women, Sarah Palin sends shivers down my spine. As a hard working mother, a natural born citizen that loves her country, Sarah Palin is NOT someone I would want as President in the event something were to happen to the President. She is a LIAR, a hypocrite, she preaches hate, lacks common sense and most importantly experience!! She doesn't roar she barks. helopatriot you are a foolish woman. There are also a LOT MORE smart women that agree with Gov. Palin than there are hypocrite-"alledged"-femminists.Really? Stats please. I like this quote from the clip: Feminism has never been about getting a job for one woman. It's about making life more fair for women everywhere My answer to McCain/Palin is simple: Voting Obama/Biden. Having said that it's interesting all the sexual innuendos and difference between the sexes that is spilling out like broken water (ha...C?). I heard that sales for her eyeglass-style have tripled overnight. I've heard detailed discussion about her hairstyle and outfits. Some want to give her a makeover and some think she has hit just the write note, sort of a Chairman Mao working uniform for the working woman. I have not heard anything yet about the cut of Obama's suit, although he st... I though pit bulls barked, not roared. Isn't that what lioness do? You know the ones that let the Lions sun themselves while they all the heavy lifting? |
