Fair enough? She wants to be the Vice President, you know.
I think perhaps you did not read that carefully. I think it's pretty reasonable to not know anything about something you know nothing about. I wasn't saying that you should be in charge of whatever that thing is Smiley: tongue

I'm sure you agree then that you'd make a ****-poor curator for the American Music Museum or some-such.


If I don't acknowledge it as being real music, it's not important!

(Yes, I know I have a bias that would be an impediment in a career such as curating a music museum. There's no accounting for taste, but really, I'm just not fond of the way the stuff sounds and I change the station at the first opportunity when I'm asked to listen to it. Although the trance remix of Longest Road to Nowhere is quite nice.)

-Gbaji

You know, you really should ask yourself.. If she manages to look such a fool, regardless of whether or not a journalist is trying to achieve that end, in an interview, how can you possibly expect her not to look such a fool in office.

Our nation is almost laughing stock after the last 8 years. The woman is obviously matched in intellectual might by a toddler and could very well hold the title of Commander in Chief(face it, McCain would be doing great to make it 2 years). What part about this doesn't leave a stain in your pants? Are you that stupid?

This is not even a partisan election in my mind, both parties need to be doing what they can to avoid that train wreck. You don't have to agree with Obama, but at least lets have a good, honest look at some of the minor parties this go around, for all our sakes.

Oh come on Joph. You know damn well you'd have been bashing her because she didn't know the name of the case. Or were you not in the camp of people bashing her because she "couldn't name what magazines she read".
First of all, you're a moron. I'm not criticizing her as a Dem to a Pubbie, but as a woman and as a PR-saavy person. She came across horribly. She could have played on her "woman of the people" persona and said 'Well Katie, I don't recall the name right now, but that case where...." and "Katie, I'm a mom with a large family and a demanding job, so I read a lot of Country Kitchen for those 30-minute recipes, in this day and age we are all looking for quick, economical meals and I'm no different." BAM! Instant hit with the mommies.

If she says the party line, she's just parroting the party line and gets bashed. She says something that doesn't match the party line and she's bashed again? Um... What?
Again, even if I were her PR person I'd be pissed. I'm pleased as punch that she actually spouted the opposite of what she was put on the ticket to represent, it looks good for us, but I can't imagine the Pubbie good ol' boys are as pleased as I am.

So she knows that the morning after pill is a contraceptive and not an abortion. You'd think that's a positive, yet somehow she's attacked for saying that it's not a type of contraceptive she supports. Er? What's wrong with that answer? Nothing.
See above.

I'd suggest a "ya know" drinking game, but I can't afford that much alcohol.

You can try a slightly more subtle one such as:

Every time she reverences herself as a "fellow hockey Mom"

or

She talks about some obscure remote part of Alaska

I made up a drinking game where you have a drink every time Varus makes an hilariously malformed argument.

Double-shot when talks about his car.

BS. If you went into an interview in which you know that you're going to be questioned about your stance on Roe v. Wade, and then the interviewer asks you what "other cases" you disagree with, I can guarantee that you couldn't think of one off the top of your head.


Bullsh*t. With the stakes this high I would have made a point of preparing for exactly such a question. In fact, I probably would have made a point of mentioning it without being asked, so that I could take the initiative to make the case (so to speak) that I don't have to agree with every SCOTUS decision ever made, in order to govern effectively. Then again, I take an interest in the workings of my country, so it wouldn't have been such a huge challenge.

But that's just me. I would also have come up with the names of a couple of magazines or newspapers - but then, I actually read them, so it wouldn't have been a huge challenge to do so.


It pisses me off that the GOP believed that this was the best-qualified woman to run as VP.


Edit: the != then

Sorry the way the Dems have tried to bash and discredit her shows a genuine fear. They know that no few number of Hillary supporters are still extremely p*ssed obama got the nod. And they also know Hillary has a good chance of winning the nomination in 4yrs if McCain is elected.

The Hillary supporters i was speaking to last week told me they were for McCain when Hillary lost, then he picked Palin and they went for Obama, because he'll be dead in a year and Biden's really the next President to be. Palin was a curse on the GOP.

If the judge rules today to keep the legislative investigation open, those odds go up.

how tax cuts for the "rich" are hurting avg americans.

They are. Giving tax breaks to the rich does nothing except help the rich. Giving tax breaks to companies but jacking up taxes to the wealthy does help average Americans though. It practically forces them to reinvest it back into their companies and therefore, the economy.

I like how Obama wants to cut income taxes for seniors making less than 50K a year. That played well among some people like my mom who has worked her whole life but doesn't have a ton of money saved, even though she tried. I didn't realize that her social security would be taxed, resulting in her losing a third of it. McCain, if he were smart, given the current problems with people's 401Ks being annihilated in the market, would also consider a similar move.
