Well and not to mention she is quite the hottie!!



Yes but she's not just a pretty face. She's tough as nails when she has to be...

She has a real record as a reformer & I'm sure that's why McCain picked her.

That explains why she's a feminist.
laugh She's notlaugh She's a Republican. Being a feminist is more than being a woman. flowerforyou

bigsmile McCain would LOSE republican votes if he picked a feminist.bigsmile


You have a tendency to demonize those who disagree with you. That's sad really. I suppose all Republicans are also racists? Any other slanders you want to use to describe half the nation?
:smile: Republicans love America but hate half the people in it.:smile:


I'm truly sorry that you are so blinded by hate. Maybe you are trying to be funny? I don't know, maybe you really believe this stuff. If you truly believe this way, then you might want to see if there are medicines which can reduce the number of delusions you experience.
flowerforyou I wasnt the first person to say that. Itsa quote from John Stewart. And it seems to be true because Republicans are against half the groups in this country (gays,abortion rights activists,ACLU,PETA,the media,etc.) It just seems like they are against everyone.flowerforyou


Painting a group with a giant brush is the perfect way to demonize and eventually illegalize their beliefs. You and John Stewart learned well from Hitler.


It's called institutionalized brainwashing...

LOL

I would think that Mcain choosing a woman to be the next vp....pretty much disproves that he is prejudiced against women.
he might be an oppurtunist, but i dont think she will likely be the type to be a "pedastal" vp.
but than mccain is not also the typical republican either now is he??



Obama picked a racist VP, but for some reason nobody wants to paint all Democrats as racists.


Yes well I'm sure OBAMA thought "I'm a black guy" I don't need Hillary? WRONG!!!! LOL

There goes that institutionalized brainwashing again...

First you're going to insult the intelligence of my post, then you're going to criticize the way I express my feelings? Just who do you think you are, anyway? Somewhere in here you feel you're more intelligent than many of the posters on these issues.

The way you phrased your statement offended me about as much as the way I phrased mine offended you. Let's be real here... we're both allowed to have conflicting opinions, and I don't have to follow any of your advice...


I didn't insult the intelligence of your post, I pointed out that your arguments were terrible.

I think I'm the father of a mentally retarded son and me and millions of other parents in my position are offended by people using "retarded" to mean stupid. My son has the mind of a 2.5 year old boy. That doesn't mean he's stupid, it means his mental development is delayed. I'm sure you wouldn't use the N-Word, but you have no problem using a word to imply that my precious son is stupid. Aidan is a gift from God who has taught me patience and love to a greater depth than I could have ever understood without his help, I hope that you will some day learn why children like him are called "special" so that you will stop using that hurtful word.

You assumed that I meant "stupid" by saying something was retarded. I didn't. I believe you were the one saying that what I said was bad, terrible, whatever... which is YOUR opinion. I said my arguments may be as "retarded" as yours. I never said that I find the definition of that word to be "stupid," so maybe you should be the one feeling ashamed for assuming that I'm just like everyone else. I've also known people with mental disabilities and think they're much nicer than a lot of people who don't. Then again, some people who supposedly aren't disabled or "special" certainly could be classified as disabled in some ways. Try not to assume. Contrary to your obvious beliefs, you don't know everything.

If I wrongly assumed what you meant by "retarded" then I apologize. How did you mean that word? What did you mean by "retarded" in that sentence?

So you meant "They might just be about as slow or limited in intellectual or emotional development as yours?" Sorry, that doesn't make sense. I believe I was right on my first call that you meant my arguments were stupid.

That doesn't make sense to you, but it makes perfect sense to me. If you want to assume that retarded means stupid, I think it's a problem on your part... and maybe you're not as nice to your son as you think you are.

either way we don't use "retarded" anymore

it's offensive to most anyone who had dealt with disabled kids. The preferred term is "developmentally disabled"

I'll accept that, but I maintain that I meant it by its true definition, and not what spidercmb insists he thinks I meant.

I apologize to anyone I may have offended by using that term.

she's NOT Hillary Clinton noway

McCain ONLY choose this woman as his running mate because of her GENDER ohwell

If Obama had chosen Hillary Clinton for his running mate, this woman would still be in Alaska, because McCain would have chosen a male to run with him.

McCain can no longer say Obama is under qualified, this woman is under qualified for the position of vice-president

Message to McCain: The women of America, really are not that STUPID!!!!!slaphead

We want more than just a female in the White House, okaywhat think what

We want and need someone that cares more about the state of the country (jobs, housing crisis, better education, health care for all, etc.)
then how the super rich can become richer, while the middle class becomes an after thought....

Bad, bad, choice McCainwhoa

Mentally Retarded is still accepted and used, it's on my son's diagnoses from his doctor. It's more specific than a general "developmentally disabled". That's such a huge umbrella that it gives no necessary information.

No, I don't believe that retarded means stupid, it means delayed. You used retarded to mean stupid. You should grow up a little and admit your mistake. It's not easy admitting a mistake, but it will help you to grow as a person.
