Of course you do. It would be difficult to continue your support otherwise.

Well that is what the evidence indicates. You're the one looking for anything to can scrounge up to use as ammunition, but you're left throwing lent at her while she carries a bazooka into the election.

The fact that you ignore the plethora of evidence that point to her being a huge impact and a powerful candidate that has the democrats panicking, explains why you're desperate to fabricate whatever it is you can from youtube sound bites.

And by the way, how do you justify your support of Obama in light of his absolutely stupid remarks about inflating tires to save as much money on gas as drilling?

This is the guy who is going to solve our energy crisis?

This is great stuff, right here. Gotta love the current republican double standard.

LOL..
On Tee Shirts this morning ..

'Our mama beats your Obama'

Lol... This election is awesome. We have a pro-choice single father raising daughters fighting to elect a pro-life mother with a stay-at-home dad. Mormons are going to generally vote for a woman they'd rather have stay home, and Liberals are using sexist ad homs to take her down (the latest from exmo-social has a gay man calling her "white trash"*).

Couldn't get any crazier...

I'm laughing pretty hard about what a conundrum my Mormon friends have found themselves in. This November, they have no choice but to vote for someone who violates their basic standards. It's either:

A. A woman who works and has a career outside the home, or
B. Someone not a Republican.

What will they do? Will they simply stay home that Tuesday?

Please answer his question rather than deflect. That's called the "Petersonian Tactic", and it doesn't fly here.

LOL... "fabricate?" Yeah, I made that Palin clip myself. Pretty good, isn't it? (Quick, run to dictionary.com and look up fabricate, <insert any synonym for "moron" here>)

You think I'm actually worried about Palin and McCain winning this election? Well, believe what you want. You always do anyway, no matter how stupid it is. I couldn't care less.

Dude, don't even start with me. That post wasn't in response to his idiocy. It was just something someone showed me that I thought was relevant and funny, so calm the f*** down.

And I don't see myself getting into a political discussion with the mental midget anyway. I've got too much experience with his irrational asshattery to get sucked into his twilight zone of nonsense. Based on the moronic crap he's already said in this thread alone, it's not worth it.

1) I'm not exercised. I'm as cool as the other side of the pillow.

2) You are already having an exchange with him.

I don't see why you can't just have a conversation, share your own thoughts, and let it be. Chill pill, brah.

Well, that's pretty much what I just did. I shared my thoughts, and will let it be.

The funny thing about all of this, incidentally, is that I have been undecided for the majority of this year, leaning a bit toward Obama, but not without concerns about him. I consider myself philosophically a republican. I just don't see Bush representing that philosophy, and I wonder about McCain's representation as well (given his support of Bush and the things he’s said).

I tend to choose the candidate I think is best for the job, not the one nominated by a particular party. I'm as independent as it gets.

All I'm saying is that I've never been as offended by a politician as I was watching McCain making this incredibly transparent move. I'm not very fond of politicians who think so little of the intelligence of their fellow citizens, or seem to strategize with that in mind. I can't decide whether republicans tend to appear to talk down to people because they think they need to, or they aren't smart enough to talk up to them. If they are talking down to them, maybe it's because they've read the sort of thing republican supporters have said in threads like these, and feel the need to make everything very simplistic. Who knows?

At least Obama speaks as though his audience has an IQ over 45. For that alone, he's ahead in the game.

They will vote for her no doubt..
She's almost Mormon anyway.. sheesh! Grew up in Idyhoe, bunch of kids, ultra conservative and a hairstyle that reeks of the YBU 70's ..
