To bluntlysaid

Just watched a video were Joe Biden said that Hillary Clinton is just as qualified or more qualified than him to be vice president and might have been a better pick. So I will help you with chaning your post.

There are more qualified Democrat women holding local or national positions. To select a man who is less qualified simply because he is a white man with 30 + year in the senate who resonates more with a faction within the Democrats is insulting to the rest of us men who want the world to see that men can accomplish much, much more than being a senator.

Please note that Joe did NOT make his penis the central point of his candidacy. He was accomplishment oriented, leadership oriented, experience oriented….the fact that he also leads a fulfilling life as a senator was a bonus.

All men should be insulted that the Democrats thought picking anything but the most qualified person was acceptable.

My my, the estrogen imbalance is really flowing on this thread, eh? LOL

First off, ladies, Curt said nothing about Hillary. He was merely quoting what Hillary supporters are saying. You can whine all you want about how Palin and Hillary are world’s apart. But the fact is, there are many (i.e. No Quarter, HillaryForum, and PUMA) that find her quite appealing.

Some do it because they despise not only Obama, but what the DNC party has become. Others do it for a forward strategy… defeat Obama in 08, run Hillary in 12. And even others find her pretty darned competitive.

But I suggest each of you speak for yourselves, and yourselves only. Because obviously you’re not in touch with what many other HRC supporters on the other forums are saying…. a small example of which is the subject of this post.

HOW CAN ANY AMERICAN BE SO STUPID TO believe that she can be the leader of the USA?

Check out Harry Truman’s experience at the time he became President. Character and intelligence are more important than a ton of experience.

There are more qualified Republican women holding local or national positions.

There are more qualified people out there, women and men, than any of the candidates we currently have. But this being a democracy, politics is about more than just your resume. Having a particular image can matter; acknowledging that is not an insult to anyone.

Feminists of any degree should be insulted

Don’t they live in a perpetual state of umbrage anyway? Regardless, I’m thinking that self-identified feminists weren’t going to be voting for McCain in any case.

How dare anyone believe in their wildest dreams that Palin can ever be a stand up woman such as Hillary Clinton.

Not sure what your definition of ‘stand up’ is, but someone who busted members of her own party for corruption definitely qualifies. Hillary is successful, but can you show me one instance of her standing for principles at a cost to her or her party? (pursuing naked ambition at a cost to the Democrats doesn’t count).

Hillary platform is to heal America and Americans; not destroy them.

Right, I forgot about that ‘destroy Americans’ plank in the Republican platform. But why are we talking about Hillary’s platform anyway – as I recall she isn’t in the running any more…

How dare anyone believe in their wildest dreams that Palin can ever be a stand up woman such as Hillary Clinton. Hillary platform is to heal America and Americans; not destroy them. Of course, Palin speaks well and she’s quite charming, but that’s all.

I can not believe America is falling for such a gimmick such as make Sarah Palin the VP pick of republicans. MCCain is not only using America’s flaw as being gullable, but he is using Sarah Palin.

Sarah do not believe in anything these women that followed Hillary Clinton believe in. If women follow Sarah Palin because she’s a woman and not only is she a woman but she is using sexism as her platform, then Hillary really needs to inform them that they are extremely gullable.

No slander on her family, however, you can’t preach safe sex and don’t teach your own child safe sex or sex before marriage.

There are more qualified Republican women holding local or national positions. To select a women who is less qualified simply because the fact she has 5 children resonates more with a faction within the GOP is insulting to the rest of us women who want the world to see that women can accomplish much, much more than being a mother.

Please note that Hillary did NOT make motherhood the central point of her candidacy. She was accomplishment oriented, leadership oriented, experience oriented….the fact that she also leads a fulfilling life as mother was bonus.

Feminists of any degree should be insulted that the GOP thought picking anything but the most qualified female was acceptable.

If I wanted to vote for a working Mom, a football and cheerleading mom, raising 4 kids by herself while keeping up with budgets and even involved in local politics in my small town. Who also taught abstinance and she’s a christian. If I’m not mistaken I think momma even knew how to skin a possum. I would vote my MOM for Vice President of the United States of America. Mom you definitely have my vote.

As a formal veteran of Desert Storm Era I am appalled at how veterans are treated when they come home. Barack Obama has fought for veterans claiming benefits for PTSD, which is Post Tramactic Stress Disorder. Republicans didn’t want to pay vets for this diagnosis. My ex- husband is also a formal vet who possibly was exposed to something called Mycoplasma fermentans, while serving in the Persian Gulf. This was possibly transferred to me and the child we had a few years later, who have most of the symptoms. None of these things are addressed. The republicans never talked about this. As a Marine I was diagnosed with PTSD by VA, hospitalized while serving and medicated. They still denied my benefits. I served my country for four consecutive years. And I’m recognized as a war-time vet, with good conduct medals. However, I may have to pay a co-pay for any medical services I recieve at the VA Medical Centers. THis is an outrage. I wonder if John Mccain has a co-pay? McCain is not the only vet that served hard. No i wasn’t a POW but I may have symptoms, post military, that I may have to live with for the rest of my life. As well as my ex-husband and child. My heart goes out to the vets that are coming home after this senseless war. I call it PART 2 of the Bush Family Fueds. IT is a hard transition. THere is no red carpet and it is hard as HELL to even get a job. I have never used my veteran’s preferance. That really means nothing. Barack Obama has fought for Vets for years, google it.

I’m a Veteran of the United States of America and I back Barack Obama for President of the United States of America.

Well, looky looky.

Another concern troll posting an “e-mail” that is supposedly circulating the Internet.

These Mobys are so easy to spot.

Hope everyone reads every word of that “e-mail” and takes it to heart cuz you know that everything you read on the Net is true.

Gotta run.

I have a meeting with a Nigerian banker about the funds transfer. I plan to use some of the money to buy those wolf-haters some teeth.

ABOUT SARA PALIN : VERY INTERESTING ! PLS FWD:
I hope I am not using precious space onthis blog but i found this extremely eye opening and worth sharing.

“This is an email I received from a good friend in New York City. She is a Bryn Mawr graduate, and is a physician currently engaged in cancer research. This is an email she received from a Bryn Mawr classmate of hers who lives in Alaska.
Because you, like me, may never have heard of Sarah Palin until today, you may find this an interesting perspective from an Alaskan resident.

Dear classmates -

As an Alaskan, I am writing to give all of you some information on Sarah Palin, Senator McCain’s choice for VP. As an Alaska voter, I now more than most of you about her and, frankly, I am horrified that he picked her.

The most accurate description of her is red neck. Her husband works in the oil fields of Prudhoe Bay and races snow mobiles. She is a life time member of the NRA and has worked tirelessly to allow indiscriminate hunting of wildlife in Alaska, particularly wolves and bears. She has spent millions of Alaska state dollars on aerial hunting of these predators from helicopters and airplanes, dollars that should have been spent, for example, on Alaska’s failing school system.We have the lowest rate of high school graduation in the country. Not all of you may think aerial predator hunting is so bad, but how anyone (other than Alaska wolf-haters, of which there are many, most without teeth), could think this use of funds is appropriate is beyond me. If you want to know more about the aerial hunting travesty, let me know and I will send some links to informative web sites.

She has been a strong supporter of increased use of fossil fuels, yet the McCain campaign has the nerve to say she has ‘green’ policies. The only thing green about Sarah Palin is her lack of experience. She has consistently supported drilling in ANWR, use of coal-burning power plants (as I write this, a new coal plant is being built in her home town of Wasilla), strip mining, and almost anything else that will unnecessarily exploit the diminishing resources of Alaska and destroy its environment.
Prior to her one year as governor of Alaska, she was mayor of Wasilla, a small red neck town outside Anchorage.The average maximum education level of parents of junior high school kids in Wasilla is 10th grade.
Unfortunately, I have to go to Wasilla every week to get groceries and other supplies, so I have continual contact with the people who put Palin in office in the first place. I know what I’m talking about. These people don’t have a concept of the world around them or of the serious issues facing the US. Furthermore, they don’t care. So long as they can go out and hunt their moos e every fall, kill wolves and bears and drive their snow mobiles and ATVs through every corner of the wilderness, they’re happy. I wish I were exaggerating.

Sarah Palin is currently involved in a political corruption scandal. She fired an individual in law enforcement here because she didn’t like how he treated one of her relatives during a divorce. The man’s performance and ability weren’t considered; it was a totally personal firing and is currently under investigation. While the issue isn’t close to the scandal of Ted Steven’s corruption, it shows that Palin isn’t ‘squeaky clean’ and causes me to think there may be more issues that could come to light. Clearly McCain doesn’t care.

When you line Palin up with Biden, the comparison would be laughable if it weren’t so serious. Sarah Palin knows nothing of economics(admittedly a weak area for McCain) , or of international affairs, knows nothing of national government, Social Security, unemployment, health care systems – you name it. The idea of her meeting with heads of foreign governments around the world truly frightens me. In an increasingly dangerous world, with the economy in shambles in the US, Sarah Palin is uniquely UNqualified to be vice president. JohnMcCain is not a young man. Should something happen to him such that the vice president had to step in, it would destroy our country and possibly the world to have someone as inexperienced and inappropriate as Sarah Palin. The choice of Palin is a cheap shot by McCain to try to get Hillary supporters to vote for him. when McCain introduced her today, Palin had the nerve to compare herself with Hillary and
Geraldine Ferraro.

Sarah Palin, you are no Hillary Clinton.

To those of you who, like me, supported Hillary and were upset that she did not get the nomination, please don’t think that Sarah Palin is a worthy substitute. If you supported Hillary, regardless of what you think the media and the Democratic party may have done to undermine her campaign, the person to support now is Obama, not Sarah Palin. To those of you who are independent or undecided, don’t let the choice of Palin sway you in favor of McCain. Choosing her shows how unqualified McCain is to be president. To those of you who are conservative, Iguess you have no choice for president. But please try to see how the poor choice of Palin tells us a great deal about McCain’s judgment. While the political posturing inherent in the choice of Palin is obvious, the more serious issue is the fact that the VP is, literally, a heartbeat away from the presidency. Sarah Palin is totally and unequivocally unqualifi ed to be vice president, let alone president.

I know this is a lengthy and emotional email, but the stakes are high. I thought it might help for all of you, regardless of political affiliation, to know something about Palin from someone who has to live with her administration in Alaska on a daily basis.”
