SunChild Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Oh! I don't think it affects her inability at all! She surely energized the party. I don't know if it will be enough to get the Hilary fanbase though, and that was the intent behind her nomination. I don't see any Dems jumping ship for her She's an insult to the Hillary fan base... someone who thinks it's ok for women do die carrying their rapist's kid is hardly what feminists are about. Someone who thinks it's cool for her own teenaged daughter to be forced into marriage and motherhood because Mommy doesn't believe in birth control, sex education or the right to choose is not what feminists are about. Someone who thinks regular hockey moms out there have no right to privacy, who can stand up and ask for respect for her family's privacy, is not what feminists are about; nor is someone chosen as a token because of her gender by a man who can call his own wife a cunt in public. The supposed shattering of the glass ceiling this woman is working to bring about boils down to getting more teenaged girls barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen. She makes the sexism the Democratic party showed toward Hillary look like enlightenment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadScreamingGallery Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Ann and Nancy Wilson's song, "Barracuda" was played at the RNC when McCain and Palin came out on stage. Today, I heard on NPR that Ann and Nancy Wilson have told them that they do not approve of their song, "Barracuda" being used to promote Palin. A quote from Nancy Wilson: "Sarah Palin's views and values in NO WAY represent us as American women. We ask that our song 'Barracuda' no longer be used to promote her image. The song 'Barracuda' was written in the late 70s as a scathing rant against the soulless, corporate nature of the music business, particularly for women. (The 'barracuda' represented the business.) While Heart did not and would not authorize the use of their song at the RNC, there's irony in Republican strategists' choice to make use of it there."

redrum Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Can't the GOP just use "Achilles Last Stand"? I'll bet Heart quits whining when sales of the song go up. Same with Reagan and 'Born In The USA'. Shut up Bruce! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electrophile Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I'll bet Heart quits whining when sales of the song go up. Same with Reagan and 'Born In The USA'. Shut up Bruce! Bruce had every right to be pissed. The song was about how much America sucked and how they treated Vietnam Vets, not about how fucking wonderful and rah-rah this place is. For Reagan to co-opt that for his own needs, not paying any attention to what the song is really about, it was insulting. Furthermore, Bruce Springsteen didn't need some two-bit actor throwing his song around to sell records. He's Bruce Springsteen, not Rick Springfield.

Del Zeppnile Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 But frankly, what do you care? People loved Ronald Reagan, he was elected to two terms in office and it's pretty much an established fact that he did fuck all! He was just a figure-head or 'face of the government' he didn't exactly do any governing as President. He left it all up to his administration. So if Reagan could get away with that and be ridiculously hailed as one of the USA's great Presidents, then surely it doesn't matter if it's Obama Reagan was a great president. If anyone didn't prosper in the 1980s it was only because they were a stupid and lazy fuckwit. I was a grocery clerk with a high school education and I did just fine... in fact I did great. ... of course I was not a stupid and lazy fuckwit.

So Red, how hard are you going to laugh on Nov 6 after the Republicans win another Presidency against all odds? I would think that someone might just get a rope and hang George Soros, Howard Dean, and Ted Kennedy.. Now wouldn't that be some good entertainment!

marolyn Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 enjoy... Pitbull Owners Blast Palin Andy Borowitz Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, who famously compared herself to a pitbull in her vice-presidential acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention, appears to have antagonized a key voting bloc in the upcoming election, the nation's pitbull owners. While Gov. Palin's assertion that the only difference between a hockey mom and a pitbull was "lipstick" drew a loud ovation from the Republican faithful in St. Paul, it raised the ire of the Pitbull Anti-Defamation League, a powerful association of pitbull fanciers who monitor the portrayal of pitbulls in the media. "As someone who has owned pitbulls for the past twenty years, my jaw dropped," said Carol Foyler, the group's executive director. "Most of us are thinking the same thing: enough is enough." Ms. Foyler said that for pitbull owners who have grown weary of their prized dogs being defamed and mistreated, Gov. Palin's wisecrack was the last straw: "We're all like, first the Michael Vick thing, and now this." Tracy Klugian, an irate pitbull owner from Buffalo, New York, echoed Ms. Foyler's sentiments: "I can think of many differences between pitbulls and Gov. Palin - for starters, pitbulls don't try to get their ex-brothers-in-law fired." With Sens. Barack Obama (D-Ill) and John McCain (R-Ariz) fighting for every last vote, a coveted voting bloc like pitbull owners could very well decide the 2008 election, political insiders believe. While Gov. Palin was not available for comment on the pitbull controversy, a spokesperson for the McCain-Palin ticket offered this official statement: "Gov. Palin does in fact have one thing in common with a pitbull: neither is capable of answering questions from reporters." Andy Borowitz is a comedian and writer whose work appears in The New Yorker and The New York Times, and at his award-winning humor site, BorowitzReport.com.

But its also the yin to the yang of this presidential race. I really like the factor that the intelligence is bumped up. Yeah, the vp role should be strong and brought out.
