Nothing good happens when you start a sentence with those words.

The rest of you, why are you even responding to him?

mopus. you are very silly.

nighty night.

I am not even sure what that means but I am sure it got cheers from the other Palin supporters that also did not get what you meant.

Is everyone also forgetting that this woman would also be second in line to the presidency behind a 72 year old man with PTSD, recurring cancer, and has to be corrected in about 1 out of every 3 interviews he gives. ie the difference between sunni and shia. She could very well be president the very second day in office. Is she qualified and ready and tested and all those other empty buzzwords enough to be the president?

The desperation level of Obama and his supporters is pretty obvious. I've never seen such a collection of lies and half-truths in my life. We have a poster with an anonymous source, that claims to know someone, who has a video tape of Sarah Palin committing adultery. Give me a break!

I thought we were supposed to Deny Ignorance, not embrace it..

I'm not trying to be a pain in the butt, but I just went through this. I had many people screaming bloody murder because I didn't post links to things that were common knowledge, let alone totally unsubstantiated rumors like this one.

You quoted things that were common knowledge AND had been stated by posters on various ATS threads.

I must admit I was SHOCKED when some high ranking individuals (admin and mods) implied your post violated T&C and the thread was even closed down (and then subsequently reopened after a few minutes). I mean, if you violated T&C by repeating the comments, why was there no concern about deleting the ORIGINAL comments that were lurking on ATS? It seems if the comments were THAT offensive the mods would be concerned about that too!
It struck me as quite bizarre and very very biased.

BUSH + CHENY 2012

SHE will have to walk the fire as the rest have - like it or not.

It has a great deal of relevance since this is a position requiring far too much time and dedication to also be a fit mother of a special needs infant. Ask Dick Cheney how much time he had to be a good father to his infant children in the last 8 years? And if you think the VP does nothing more than sign some papers and answer a phone, then no wonder you would then also stick up for the motherly values of a mom who refused to teach her daughter sex ed, you know the pregnant underaged unwed daughter. These things do speak heavily to this particular position. It is amazing how republicans have already relegated the position of VP to someone of no importance whatsoever after letting expressing what a great asset Cheney has been all this time for all he has done.

Oh give me a break dude. You want to ramble about infants needing special needs, well guess what, there are millions of moms out there that have to work and also take care of their families including children with special needs. And many of these working mothers with special needs infants have help from specialized programs and in-home care assistants.

Many people these days "multi-task"...are you saying that candidates for P or VP should not have any external life at all if they are going to serve in public office or be some perfect person that they should have God like traits to have absolutely no human faults?

2nd. Teaching sex ed to a 17 yr old is like trying to teach them how to ride a trycicle. They already know about it! Again, have you been living under a rock for the last 20 or so years? Sex ed is taught to grades as low as 6th. Now do you really think sex ed makes any significant alteration to pre teen and teen sexual explorations and curiosity? If anything, it ADDS to their desires to "find out about it". No amount of sex ed is going to prevent human nature and behavior, especially at those puberty ages up to young adult ages.

3rd. Why dont you enlighten us all on when your first sexual encounter age was before spouting the "im so perfect and my values are too" garbage and judging others who are just as human as the rest of us!

4th. The fact that her daughter and her fiancee are going to marry, and the fact that the guy is standing up to his responsibility and going to be a father, and a husband..says a hell of alot for their up bringing and character, including her mother, than what your giving credit for. Again, do some homework and see the ratio these days of how many young parents choose to do the right thing vs how many do not. You will be amazed.

Oh, btw, her daughter is not running for VP, neither is her special need infant. She has managed to govern Alaska along with taking care of her family and does a top notch job at both. I seriously doubt that her special need infant's care or attention will be changed in any way if she became VP. If anything, it probably will be better.

Again all of this has absolutely no relevancy to her ability to be a VP.

I am sure all of this would not even be an issue if the VP candidate was male and had a son who was going to marry a 17 yr old pregnant fiancee.

This topic is nothing more than election tabloid page filler and is IMO, best left at the check out counter.

Cheers!!!

I'll consider the status of the 'Palin secret lover' thing along with the 'Michelle Obama whitey tape' thing as the same - the status is this - I'll believe it when I see it.

She may have to "Walk the fires" as you say, but I think she has the integrity and the backbone to do so, unlike Obama. I've been a Democrat since I was old enough to vote, but no longer. I'm sick of their smear campaigns and below the belt cheap shots. They've stooped lower this time than Bush ever did, and I can't stand the man.

When the shoe is on the other foot, and the crap starts raining down on Obama and his family, I hope you guys can maintain your current stance on fair play.

Like it or not, McCain will be you next President, and Obama will be just a footnote in the history books.

Wow. We agree on something. Obama will join the ranks of household names like Geraldine Ferraro. Except there will be riots.

I voted for Kerry in the last election and the next morning when it was announced he lost, I got very emotional. Even considered Canada. But this time the republicans look pretty good compared to the alternative.

I guess we had to agree on something eventually, and I think you're absolutely right about the riots. It will give the PTB the perfect excuse to institute martial law in the U.S. and further restrict our rights and movement.

Same here, I felt totally screwed over. A year ago I could have never imagined supporting the Republicans, but things change..

I am not sick of the sex tape follies. :popcorn:

I havent yet actually watched one, but I personally am fascinated how, in light of all the other sex tape scandals, supposedly intelligent people continue to make them. Particularly supposedly intelligent people whose careers do not stand to gain from said sex tape in the way that Ms. Hilton's did.

Of course this sex tape still appears to be in the speculative category, so it is too early to add this to my "What were they thinking?" file.
