Thanks but no thanks. Also.

[racers]

man did we dodge a bullet :p

[zap2]

Wow, its been a year?

Possible my favorite thing McCain did during the election!

[Sky Blue]

That image of her crying on election night still makes me smile.

[GeekLawyer]

man did we dodge a bullet :p

We did indeed. Also.

[Tomorrow]

Damn, she is still hot. Smokin'.

[leekohler]

No s***. I liked McCain way back when, but Palin is insane.

BTW- I feel like Luke Skywalker sometimes:

"John McCain, I know there is still good in you." :) And yes, I truly believe that.

[Thomas Veil]

Ah yes, Sarah Palin. The ultimate psycho-babe.

She (or her people) just did another one of those "I'm-coming-to-your-convention-no-I'm-not-and-I-never-said-I-was" things the other day. :rolleyes:

[leekohler]

Damn, she is still hot. Smokin'.

That's just sick. I don't ******* the insane.

[Rt&Dzine]

I considered McCain for President . . . until dingdong was picked (by whoever) as his vp.

This is a joke, right?

[Counterfit]

Isn't she also missing a certain something that your prefer? ;)

[Kashchei]

This is a joke, right?

I don't think so. One of my friends, an ardent liberal and former Hillary supporter, practically begins to drool whenever Palin comes up in conversation. He hates her politics and thinks that she is crazy, but just can't help his hormones

[Thomas Veil]

Yeah, well this (http://www.press.uchicago.edu/Misc/Chicago/121992.html) is what happens to guys who mess around with cannibalistic females:

Imagine the following scenario: a male mantid, attracted by the smell of a female hidden in a lilac bush, creeps up behind her and when close enough leaps onto her, secures a perfect grip on her body, and copulates. No courtship, no permission asked or granted. He has behaved “appropriately” for a male mantid.

If a male doesn’t behave appropriately, he may incite trouble. Positioning is everything. A male that approaches a female from the front may meet immediate death by decapitation. If he sneaks up behind her but is just a little off on his grip, the female might bite off his head and dine on her brainless suitor as he continues to pass sperm into her body. Sometimes the impetuous female partially eats the male before he even mounts her. In this case, the headless wonder swings his legs around until his body touches hers, climbs onto her back, and copulates as though nothing were amiss.

Headless sex? How can it be? Copulatory movements in mantids are controlled by masses of nerve tissue in the abdomen rather than the brain. Males of some mantid species mate more effectively when decapitated. Why? A nerve center in the male’s head inhibits mating until a female is clasped. If this nerve is removed, such as when the female bites off the male’s head, all control is lost and the result is repeated copulation.

Sometimes the female devours her mate under circumstances outside the male’s control. If the pair is disturbed and the temperamental female becomes frightened, her immediate reaction is to whip around, snatch the male’s head in her greedy mandibles, and gnaw it off. In some species, a female’s propensity to consume her mate is unrelated to the male’s behavior or outside disturbance. It’s simply part of the mating ritual.

[Queso]

That's just sick. I don't ******* the insane.
Lies. You would if they were cute enough ;)

[spillproof]

Good times, good times.

[Zombie Acorn]

Mccain isn't really that bad although I wouldn't consider him presidential material. I watched his town hall and it was pretty good.

[rdowns]

How time flies. Who would have thought the bridge to nowhere would be exactly where she is?

[Tomorrow]

That's just sick. I don't ******* the insane.

Or the Y-chromosome deficient, as I understand it. ;)

This is a joke, right?

Not even a little bit. I meant every word and plenty more that would possibly put me in time out.

[Counterfit]

I really could have done without reading that.

[stevegmu]

You guys must really like her, if you keep talking about her.

[yg17]

No, it's necessary to bring her up every now and then to remind people that McCain, who is still serving in the senate and will likely be running for reelection in a couple years, is completely irresponsible and doesn't give a damn about this country for even allowing the possibility of that unqualified moron being a 72 year old heartbeat away from the presidency.

I see. The politics of necessity and name-calling.

Yes, I called her a moron, but if I said "unqualified person" would it be any different? The fact is, someone with her lack of experience and understanding of the issues should not be president, vice president, or anywhere towards the top of the presidential line of succession. McCain was irresponsible and put this country at risk by selecting her as his running mate

Well, when you call someone who was a governor a moron, it pretty much negates anything you may have had to say.

[blackfox]

Well, technically the only prerequisite for being a governor is being able to make more people vote for you than the other person.

You could quite easily be a moron and have that happen - especially if someone is taking care of the logistics of your election run.

Not that any of this necessarily applies to Mrs. Palin.

[Shotglass]

That's just sick. I don't ******* the insane.And you don't ******* the females either if I'm not mistaken, so that's kind of a moot point isn't it? ;)

For that matter, the same applies to being the President or Vice-President, more or less.

[skunk]

For that matter, the same applies to being the President or Vice-President, more or less.Absolutely. It has happened before.

[rhsgolfer33]

Absolutely. It has happened before.

More than a few times. Bush, Clinton, Carter, and Reagan all had limited political careers before becoming president.

That said, I think Palin is a nut bag. I liked McCain more before the party got to him in the election, not so much during the election.

[Tomorrow]

More than a few times. Bush, Clinton, Carter, and Reagan all had limited political careers before becoming president.

Actually, they were all governors - quite a popular path to the Presidency, all things considered.

[Sdashiki]

What?

You dont deserve political discourse if thats your attitude about it.

[rhsgolfer33]

Oh yes, I agree. I intended to refer to the comment that the only prerequisite for becoming governor was to make people vote for you and the other comments stating Palin was unqualified. I should have said that governor has been quite a popular path to presidency (though some seem to think it offers little political experience) and only having experience as a governor doesn't make you unqualified (though even as a conservative I can't stand Palin). Sometimes I do a really poor job at saying what I intend to say. :)

[Zombie Acorn]

What?

You dont deserve political discourse if thats your attitude about it.

Agreed, all you need to become elected governor is to be well connected and have nice speech writers.

[thegoldenmackid]

I really miss the daily "What do we get to find out about Sarah Palin's dirty secrets" game...

[Sdashiki]

Agreed, all you need to become elected governor is to be well connected and have nice speech writers.

Moreover, its atrocious that someone would enter a discussion with something like "WHAT!? Negative ideas and comments! You have no right to be a part of this society."


Just because someone had a negative view of poltics(ians)?!
