Hooray James!! From your pen (lips) to God’s ears - or at least the voters! Like a couple others - I’m giving the political pot a rest - I’m job hunting and the need for people-skills in this tight economy and job market seem to be slim and none - so I’m leaving Ms. Palin’d dubious qualifications for others to decide (just for now you understand).

Kate - slide over in your bed - I’m coming in beside you!! You done said a mouthful girlfriend - and put more succinctly than almost all of the other posts (and maybe ALL). Wow for sure - the head continues to spin!

Dear Dear Mugsy - I truly wish you would say it like it really is - you know - just call a spade a spade or in this case a right-wing, narrow-minded bigot! Gotta love it (and you!).

And I’m so far removed from it all that I didn’t even know what they were/are! Guess my nose has been buried in all things political for way too long!!!

Thanks Suzanne. I love your intelligent and thoughty posts - and I must have really really wanted to get my point across with my 3-peat post!! (Stupid ‘puter was showing it’s independence there for a few minutes!)

What a beautiful experience! To spend time with all these family members and learn about everyone’s life experiences would be overwhelming (for me at least). My “spousal equivelant’s” mother is French - and has worked on their family’s genealogy for several years and even though I don’t have a blood/familiar relationship to any of these people it is fascinating and beautiful to read and study. You are blessed!

Amen (again) Donna and Phyllis! You both echo my sentiments exactly, I’ve watched the View for years, and even rather enjoyed the spirited conversations when Rosie was on - but it has just gone downhill with allowing Elisabeth to act like a spoiled 5-yr old!

Wow Maizie! For sure you can be “Rainbow” - you’ve earned that right. But the thing that impressed me the MOST was all the history you know about your ancestors!!! What a beautiful and fascinating heritage you have and to KNOW all that is truly a gift/blessing!

Very Very well said Elizabeth! I sincerelly hope that people watching her and her proclamations realize that she is merely a puppet of the old regime interspersed with a few of McCain’s non-progressive ideas. Wait and see indeed!

Brenda - You said it all and put it kindly and clearly!!!!

AMEN Anna!! Although I have been a huge fan of The VIEW in the past - Elizabeth’s constant vocal outbursts and radical thoughts turn me completely off. I can stand it for about 10 min and then have to watch grass grow! I grant that she is young but she needs to realize that there are other opinons out there and learn a little consideration!

Maurine - You absolutely hit the “nail” on the head with your fantasy remarks from Ms. Palin! And every one of those facts is why she scares me to death - and I really do not care what she knows or doesn’t know - having her one heartbeat from the Presidency is terrifying!!! Having John McCain’s finger near the “button” is scary enough but with the two of them close to the last eight years and not giving us concrete solutions to problems - I truly shudder for this country if they succeed. And Whoopi - I totally agree with your post - about “Barbie” and “African-Americans”.You are one of the brightest and best when it comes to being vocal about the social issues facing us - and I would vote for you in any office you were running for!!

I was going to rest from all this frantic back and forthing today but just HAD to jump in to say to you J.H. that putting Whoopi (that’s how her name is spelled - not Whoopie)down for her excellent viewpoints shows exactly who has half a brain!!!
