Party @ the Moontower Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 "You Betcha We're Americans" means that FIRST we say yes to life---and then we say yes to American thoughts, American Stories and American songs! McCain dies, Palin overturns Roe V Wade and bans all un-American songs Link to post Share on other sites
jenbobblehead Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Hell no, man. I had just taken a shot of nyquil, and was flinging zingers across the room all night. That's the only one that made it's way online, but believe me, I was on fire.are you sick again? what do you do, lick doorknobs and keyboards at that college of yours? Wash your hands, man!

NightOfJoy Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 The lack of follow-up questions helped her considerably. Very, very true. After her performance last nite, I couldnt help but wonder if the Couric interview was a set up to lower expectations. Knowing the Rovian tactics of the GOP, its within the realm of possibility. If not, perhaps she's just wildly inconsistent in her behaviour. Just what we need, eh? Or maybe it was that list of talking points that she kept reviewing that propped her up. When are we gonna get a press conference (the kind without a preselected, sympathetic audience that bushCo has appeared before for 7.5 years) or two with Palin? I dont think I can handle one more wink from that woman. I found it very annoying. Biden came off like a champ last night though. He was excellent. Link to post Share on other sites
quarter23cd Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 When are we gonna get a press conference (the kind without a preselected, sympathetic audience that bushCo has appeared before for 7.5 years) or two with Palin?Probably never. She survived last night. She can go back the bunker now where that nasty media can't get to her. Link to post Share on other sites
John Smith Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Watch the clip, she clearly states it's not a McCain/Palin Policy, it's merely her belief. Yes but if elected she will be a heartbeat away from making that a policy goal annd you know that is true. Zealots are zealots regardless of the will of others. Saw this on the Andrew Sullivan blog: "Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. famously said of Franklin Roosevelt that he had a 'second-class intellect, but a first-class temperament.' Obama has shown that he is a man of limited experience, questionable convictions, deeply troubling associations (Jeremiah Wright, William Ayers, Tony Rezko) and an alarming lack of self-definition -- do you really know who he is and what he believes? Nonetheless, he's got both a first-class intellect and a first-class temperament. That will likely be enough to make him president," - Charles Krauthammer today. Sullivan is a conservative true, as it Krauthammer and like everyone they are entitled ot heir opinions, but this paragraph is simply the kkrautmeister selling the narrative and Sullivan passing it along. No original thought there just cammpaign talking points. Can we quit the friggin fear mongering? The world will not end if Sarah Palin becomes VP. Jesus. No but from what I have been told and Sarah hinted at it last night apparently the US will end if a democrat gets elected. Link to post Share on other sites

Doug C Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Since it is Palin that he is referring to, is it better classified as fish-mongering? Please forgive me. That was inappropriate but Sinead singing Molly Malone came on shuffle as I was reading it. Link to post Share on other sites

Spawn's dad Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Is it being said we shouldn't be concerned if she becomes VP?I'm kind of confused. I can't fathom she could pull off being president.I'm even more confused listening to the radio and hearing peoplesay she did really well. Link to post Share on other sites
John Smith Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Fear-mongering at its worst. You win, that is so much worse than what has been occuring the past eight years, and so much worse than Palin saying that if Obama is elected we will have to tell our kids and grand kids of the old days when America was once free. No fear mongering there. Link to post Share on other sites
MrRain422 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 How is it fear mongering to point out that, as Vice President, there's a chance that she could become President within the next 4 years? Isn't it reasonable to consider whether or not she would be a good President? Link to post Share on other sites

Party @ the Moontower Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 How about McCain/Palin dumping 28 million fear DVDs in swing states? I can only imagine how much war and other crazy stuff they would scare America into. Personally, I am scared to see Palin so close to such a position of power. I don't want an average American running this country. Even worse is McCain's nutty behavior being driven by his gut instincts. He will push the button faster than Palin can do a quick study on the situation. Link to post Share on other sites

An opinion I heard recently.......the only way the GOP could save face due to the last 8 disasterous years is to just give up the presidential race and admit that the last eight years were their fault. In essence, screw bushCo and his legacy.....just dump him into the ash heap of history. They'd be off the hook for all the heavy lifting that needs to take place in the next 4 years to rectify things and get America back into shape. I could almost support that notion. But I like the prospects of an Obama landslide too. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jules Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 How is it fear mongering to point out that, as Vice President, there's a chance that she could become President within the next 4 years? Isn't it reasonable to consider whether or not she would be a good President?No, of course those discussions are just fine. I am referring to the consequences of her potentially being elected, which I just don't see as being so awful and scary, regardless of her perceived intelligence, experience or character. Fear mongering? Jeez, come on. Folks can't have it both ways. If everyone in this thread is so entrenched in their beliefs that an "open discussion" about the issues can't be had, then there is no fear "mongering" going on. It's a bunch of Dems commiserating. Big difference.There's also a big difference between saying she will be a poor vice president and saying "what are we going to do!", "God help us if she is elected!" etc. etc. It's just over the top.

markosis Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Wait, didn't Palin say something last night about Bush's "legacy", like he did a good job? I thought that came out of her mouth, although I could have that confused with the other 957 sound bites she shot off. Link to post Share on other sites

I am referring to the consequences of her potentially being elected, which I just don't see as being so awful and scary, regardless of her perceived intelligence, experience or character. My point was that nobody expected that the Bush presidency would have been 1/4 as scary and awful as it has been in 1999. Now, I understand that people may have different views on how awful and dangerous it has been. Link to post Share on other sites

Do you think she'd be able to stare down Putin in a "Cuban Missle-like" scenario successfully? By successful, I mean not turning the earth into a cinder. I dont think she has the fortitude or the intellectual firepower to do it. She's about as deep as a puddle on a sidewalk. Being a Christian extremist, I think she just might welcome the chance to launch. Link to post Share on other sites
