I like McCain but not Palin. Like I said earlier, it should have been an "Elizabeth Dole type" on the ticket with him. Have you noticed all the Hollywood Elite routinely courts the Democrats, unless the Republican is/was an actor/actress? I guess it's easy to be a "limousine liberal."

It had its place. I used to have bushier hair. I was commenting on her general level of tackiness.

Did you see the 449 point drop in the Dow today? And the 500 + point drop in one day within the last week? And we have room at the top for an 80s big-hair newcaster who putzed her way through a communications degree, is the governor of a state whose economy is largely not hampered and self-regulating because of its big (oil) coffers, and just had a child, with health related problems, within the last 6 months? And I'm a person who votes for the person and not the party.

The Top 3, IMO.

Thinking a little out of the box, Britain's Winston Churchill is touted as a no-B.S. kind of guy. I like some of his barbed remarks that have been quoted. But, still, it seems that there are fewer and fewer well-respected politicians with each passing decade....

So is that a question or a statement? Response to thread: movie

I didn't know Texans could be so highbrow. (Perche cambi la bandiera nel tuo Av come uno cambia i mutandi?)

C'mon, bobo, she's a little better looking than that. LOL.

Man, aren't we polarized? Then you wonder why I run a poll like are you "liberal or conservative?" LOL.

Yeah, how about if she had to make a decision about pushing "the buttons" while on the rag?

I know more than a handful of pissed-off Republicans right now...specifically about the Palin choice. Bill Clinton looks like, has always looked like, and sounds like a hick, despite lofty pedigrees. Go to one of those bohemian stores that have the nasty greeting cards. There's one birthday card with Bill and Hillary on the cover, showing them as college students, and inside it says "You haven't gotten older, you've gotten better." They did NOT look good.

I had to bite my lip, but now I can go with the flow. Don't kid yourself, the PNW has plenty of white trash. Can you spell "Tonya Harding?" The local trash up there resented the fact that transplanted Californians and Northeasterners actually lifted the cultural profile of the place...not to mention adding more attractive people to their ranks than the local inbreds. Re the OP, I respect what she's accomplished but she ain't the best thing since sliced bread. Yeah, look at her husband and some of her kids. They'll have to go to "charm school" for execs and first families, I guess. Palin comes from Sandpoint ID. It's a neat little town between Coeur d'Alene and the Canadian border. Look her up on NNDB. It indicates she was baptized Roman Catholic (you know, normal), but then went "fundy." I had pretty much decided on McCain until this came along. He needed to have a person with strong charisma AND good experience. I'm not convinced.

Ha. Yes. Two occasions just like this. My brother and his wife had 2 cats. The friendlier one of the two, all purring and cuddly, turns around after a couple of minutes, clamps down on my hand and draws blood....the day before I left for Europe. I disinfected it right away and was glad no infection followed. The next door neighbors to my parents. The back of their lot is sloped with ground cover and no fence. I would see this little black cat there. I was sitting in a patio chair and it came over and let me pet it. In about 30 seconds, he proceeds to bite me and starts hissing at me. Generally, I've had better luck with dogs.
