Ok, let me get the rules straight. A woman who is successful, whether in business or politics is a great thing, but only if she is a liberal Democrat. Do I have that right? The American press has slimed
Governor Palin, who has “broken through the glass ceiling” and not because she is a woman, but because she is a conservative woman. 

Shame on the half of America who has decided to do this and shame on the other half for not speaking up loudly enough. While you may not agree with her politics, you should all be proud of the fact that
she is on the ticket.

My daughters and I are proud that for the first time in more than 30 years, a woman has the chance to be not just the vice president, but after four or eight years, the first woman president of the United
States.

Oh, that’s right, we should only be proud if she is a Democrat, like Senator Clinton, right?

“Wrong again. The proof is in the pudding, What Dem President had a black
Seceratary of State?“

Wrong how?  Did I disagree with you?  Yeah you are correct. Colin Powell was the first black Sec. State.  So?

I just don’t know what your point is.  You seem to be bragging about tokenism.

Colin Powell is a super intelligent, accomplished, experienced Vietnam veteran who got to be the Secretary of State for super moron, George W. Bush.  Powell deserved to be the GOP VP at the least. 

To top it off, he was used by the Republicans, dismissed by Cheny, and had his reputation destroyed.  We’re all supposed to applaud this?

Its not a big secret who Colin Powell supports for President.

“How about Michael Steele, were you one of the libs that threw Oreos at him?“

No I wasn’t.  Are you one of the conservative idiots buying the Obama/Curious George monkey t-shirt? 

I don’t think you’re that kind of person, but I’ll ask since you felt the need to ask something like that of me.

PHD,

Are you saying Jesus would be in support of baby killing?  You libs are pretty funny when it comes to religion.  Maybe you have been hanging out in Obama’s church and hearing the racist spew every Sunday, but clearly Jesus was not a liberal, no matter how many times you say it. 

How did busing go over in the City of Boston?  How about Howard Beach, NY?  How many Dems voted against teh Civil rights bill in 1964?

People do not want kids because as in the words of Obama “I do not want my children to be punished by having one”.  You libs do not have a respect for life, yet go on and on about wanting to help children, ya right. 

I can’t help you libs support criminals, but again, it just shows how liberalism is bad for the Country. 

JVA,

Wrong again.  The proof is in the pudding, What Dem President had a black Seceratary of State?  Don’t worry I won’t hold my breath waiting for your answer.  Funny how the Clintons played the race card against Obama.  And who first used the Willie Horton ad?  None other then Al Gore, a Dem. 

How about Michael Steele, were you one of the libs that threw Oreos at him?

Irishlad:  I well know my history of the South.  I was born and raised in the segregated South. If you read postings on this board, I have MANY TIMES written how the South became Republican. I even recall Strom Thurmond running as a Dixiecrat in the South, later to because an old Republican fossil, like McCain is becoming, in the Senate (and Thurmond knocked up a black female as a Southern white trash racist). 

I’ll repat the Democrat to Republican transition.  When the liberal US Supreme Court made its Brown vs, board decision - and some others thereafter -rather than integrate, the South went Republican, since that party was a racist party against civil rights.  TgenSouthern evangelicals joined in also, as conszervatives, i.e. devils. Even in 1967, Virginia was still fighting desegration, no inter=racial marriages, “massive resitance”, etc. - all of which were killed off as unconstitutional by the liberal courts. The racists in Manass and PWC have newver gotten over the civil rights, and like you are loaded with hate, bigotry, racism, like the BOCS resolution boys. And Va. was once heavily Demoocratic, so why the change?  It was RACISM!!!

Self responsibility is totall absent from Republican values. Just something for the wealthy and greedy, i.e. the money changers Christ cleared the temple of.  Abortion is a legal procedure that is personal only to the person carrying the child.  You don’t know what Christ would have done or said.  There weren’t any birth controls methods back then.  People don’t want kids becxause the Republicans have made the cost of living too expensive.  Some religions are against abortion because their church, as a tax exempt business, needs to keep customers coming. The motto or aim is:  “KEEP ‘EM POOR, KEEP ‘EM PREGNANT, AND KEEP
‘EM PRAYING FOR SOMETHING BETTER THAT NEVER SEEMS TO COME.“


As for minorities making progrss, it took LBJ, not raist Repubs to start making progress.  And it took killings, marches, arrest, and a country;s conscience upon seeing Southern “justice” in aCtion to get the ball rolling.

Your allegation about my historical knowledge of the South is hilarious and show how abysmally ignorant you are on the subject..

“liberals have a “do what you
want” attitude”

Yeah.  Republicans only have this attitude when it comes to Wall Street.

btw I’m a liberal personally opposed to abortion.  So much for your sweeping generalization of all of us.

“Funny it took a GOP President to have the first black Secreatary of State. “

Republicans are like that white guy who feels the need to brag about his one black friend.

PHD,

Jesus was not a liberal.  He was not in favor of baby killing and was for self responsibility. Libs are in favor of abortion and have a “do what you want” attitude.  As for history, that was in response to your line about the South being run by the GOP. If you know you history, your would know the Dems controlled the South up until about forty years ago. 

Did you hear the Dem congressman from Florida last week?  He said anyone who shoots moose are not for blacks and jews. Now, why would he say such a thing?  The news media and the Dems want to keep minorities under their control by pushing policies that undermine progress by minorities such as welfare and Afirmitive action. They feel minorities are not smart enough to do things on their own, and therefore need a helping hand.  That is wrong. The Dems see minorities only as votes and nothing more.  Funny it took a GOP President to have the first black Secreatary of State.

Cobra, if I’m a “sick wench”, then so be it.  The world is full of whores.  And sick people.  You fall right in there too. By the way, how is McCain’s mental illness coming along.  As you know, the Bush campaign alleged that. Is Palina “ sick wench”, or just an “ignorant wench”?

irishlad:  You are wrong about Jesus not being a liberal - there is no history to brush up oon that would disprove him not being a liberal.  I don’t recall the bible distinguishing between a so-called liberal or conservative.  Quote me a scripture please. Jes is the liberal - the devil is the conservative - if you look at today’s values of each.

How many blacks - or minorities - were at the RNC?  I heard someone say 34 - out of thousands in attendance. Minorities don’t appear to be flocking to the Repubs… Why is this?e

Godsaveus:  now that you have published what you claim is Obama’s record, why don’t you publish Palin’s record also/  I say you don’t have the courage, strength or fortitude to do so - without lying, omissions, and embellishments.

In posting her qualifications, please provide us the details on:

1.  What did she do as soccer mom, ice hockey mom, NRA membership, PTA membership, mother, hunter, sled driver, moose hunting, watching Russia, mayor, and governor that gives her experience and qualifications to be VP?  (This should really be good!!!)

Godsaver:  what a pompous arrogant fools you are.  Do you think Irishlad can’t think for himself, make his own conclusions, etc.? No, you are so wrapped up in what you, as a right-wing Republican racist that you can’t even thin - straight or crooked. Your postings display an illiterate and uneducated Southern piece of white trash. It is not name calling to say someonne is racist, white trash, etc.  If you are, you are. Funny, you don’t similarly see yourself as a hater and name caller.  You should let an independent authority or person read your postings and judge.
