I personally think Sarah Palin is indeed a lipstick wearing pig.
Thank you, Obama.






This is freaking awesome......I'll be so happy when Obama crushes John the bigot McCain.

WORD~
------------------------------
By Andrew Sullivan
So it's come to this. The full context of Barack Obama's quote is as follows:“John McCain says he’s about change, too — except for economic policy, health care policy, tax policy, education policy, foreign policy and Karl Rove-style politics. That’s just calling the same thing something different.”
With a laugh, he added: “You can put lipstick on a pig; it’s still a pig. You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called change; it’s still going to stink after eight years.”We are being asked to believe that he called Sarah Palin a pig. If the people making that accusation have half a brain they know it's not true. This is not a question of interpretation. It is a fact. So we now find out again that John McCain is prepared to tell an absolute lie - in public, verifiable, uncontestable.
He does not have the minimal public integrity to be president of the United States.
Game this all you want; distort it all you want; bamboozle the morons at cable news all you want; win however many news cycles you want.
This claim is absurd on its face, like the Palin nomination to begin with. Absurd. And you can now tell who on the right has even a scintilla of intellectual honesty. That's all this episode is about: another tail-spin in the death throes of the Republican party.
My only advice to Obama: stay calm; stay cool; focus on the issues; behave like the president you want to be. They are trying to get into your head. But you are so much smarter and more decent than they are. Patience. And steel.

^^^Here's another good article by Andrew Sullivan.
(snip)"For me, this surreal moment - like the entire surrealism of the past ten days - is not really about Sarah Palin or Barack Obama or pigs or fish or lipstick. It's about John McCain. The one thing I always thought I knew about him is that he is a decent and honest person. When he knows, as every sane person must, that Obama did not in any conceivable sense mean that Sarah Palin is a pig, what did he do? Did he come out and say so and end this charade? Or did he acquiesce in and thereby enable the mindless Rovianism that is now the core feature of his campaign?" (end snip)
(snip)"McCain has demonstrated in the last two months that he does not have the character to be president of the United States. And that is why it is more important than ever to ensure that Barack Obama is the next president. The alternative is now unthinkable. And McCain - no one else - has proved it."(end snip)





It's funny, Richard, I was saying this to my Mom today. The more I dig into John Mc Cain record attitudes and style the less I respect him. He's just a fairly good actor but he doesn't have the vision or integrity to be a leader.

How am I being ignorant and bigoted?
I'm saying some people in the military (of which I'm not a member, BTW )will have a problem with it. That is not the same thing as saying they are justified in feeling that way. To deny this would be a difficult pill for some soldiers to swallow is akin to living in Fantasyland. In a perfect world, there'd be no problem with such a policy, but this is not a perfect world.
And BTW, you never win debates by resorting to insults and name-calling. Isn't that the same sort of distraction from the issues as we're all accusing the campaigns of doing?

There were lots of folks in the military who didn't want integrated units and even more Neanderthals who didn't want women to serve. Fortunately, they had to get used to it. So it should be with gays. If it's a REAL problem for some and I'm sure it will be, especially for a few super macho dorks in the Marines, let them resign or retire.
The average soldier, sailor, airman or Marine has grown up in an era fairly tolerant of gays and have no problem serving alongside them. It's time the generals and admirals caught up.

Women and men don't share same living quarters because many people find it uncomfortable to change clothes, go to showers and ect while member opposite has a chance observe it due sexual connotations. Similarly some people find it uncomfortable to be state of undress while member of same sex who is intrested in his/her own gender has chance observe it.

OMFG just because someone is gay doesn't mean they want to hump EVERY DAMN BODY they come in contact with. Gimme a break! Just because I'm a lesbian and I'm a stripper I guess also means I check out the girls constantly while I'm at work..I mean hell I get to see them naked and topless. Do I, hell no because I'm at work! Damn, you act as if gays/lesbians have this uncontrollable sexual desires that they just can't stop and be a human or something.
If you're in the military, you're there to do your job. And FTR: There are alot of gay males in the military. All gay men are not the loud, flamboyant types that are usually stereotyped as the majority.
Why do you feel that straight adoptive parents are more preferable over gay adoptive parents? If, as you said all other things are equal, why should they (straight couple) be held to a higher regard and viewed as a more acceptable parent?
