Bonnie—Frank is just fine. YOU are the one who is tiresome, meddling, sanctimonious. Frank didn’t post anything to YOU. So why do you think you are the police?? “It is time for you to start apologizing.” If ANYONE needs to apologize—you do for supporting th evil GOP….these criminals who should be in the Hague and hopefully one day they will be. Put a sock in it. You are totally clueless.

PS “Be big enough to let the other side speak.” I have NO control over others speaking. But maybe they better THINK first before making such a$$ine assertions unless they want me responding to BS like that.

Marjoire, When you make RIDICULOUS statements like the crowd of 85,000 hushed when he said Iran …and then she goes one to imagine what they are thinkg——that kind of phony, ridiculous, BS statement gets the respect it deserves. NADA. ZERO. ZILCH. I’m not “losing it” I am sick of ignorant ReTHUGlicans.

House Majority leader Steny Hoyer on the outrageous selection of John McCain. “Far worse than Dan Quayle” http://www.blog.newsweek.com/blogs/tamcam/archive/2008/08/29/tamcam-hoye…

It is OUTRAGEOUS to think that a woman with 18 months as Gov of a state with a population 606,000 and previous exp as a Mayor of a town of under 9,000, with no foreign policy or International relations OPINIONS let alone exp should be a heatbeat away from the presidency. THERE ARE 17 MAJOR U.S, CITIES WITH POPULATIONS GREATER THAN ALASKA; New York 8M, LA 4M Chicago 3M, Houston 2M, Philadelphia 1.5M, Phoenix 1.4M, San Antonio 1.3M, San Diego 1,3M, Dallas 1.2M, San Jose 912K, Detroit 886K, Indianapolis 784K, Jacksonville 783K, San Francisco 740K, Columbus, 31K, Austin 690K, Memphis 672K Someone tell me that a Mayor of one of those cities with 18 months exp. And previous exp as a mayor of a town of 9,000 where the largest concern is a Moose crossing. And with a degree in journalism from a third rate school should be a VP candidate. Not to mention that she didn’t care about Iraq, believes in teaching creationism, doesn’t believe in Global Warming is man made, and had ONE MEETING with McCain. This ‘decision’ shows so much contempt for the other GOP candidates with somewhat credible experience (if you approve of the GOP platform which I most certaintly do not). So much contempt for COMPETENCE in general and in women in particular. Would anyone even buy a car on seeing it ONCE?? It shows total contempt for HIS RESPONSIBILITY to choose someone who can actually take over the presidency. It shows total disdain for the challenges facing the world and the US. Obama’s speech the night before had the LARGEST EVER global TV audience in the history of US politics. Over 40M. More than the opening of the Olympics, More than the Oscars, most Superbowls. Double the closest other most watched political event. McCain/Rove pulled this CHEAP PR stunt to take the spotlight off that incredible feat, and the spotlight off the serious issues that Senator Obamas and Joe Biden raised. He did it to ensure there would be no national discussion of what Obama spoke of; ie that McCain is a tool of his coporate paymasters and votes consistently against women, families, education, health, a decent wage, etc. He can’t defend those issues, so they needed to divert attention and ensure no DNC ‘bounce.’ And go to the RNC and fear and war monger. 911 24/7. McCain has demonstrated such enormous contempt that it takes ones breathe away. just as he had contempt for his marriage vows when he dumped his crippled wife for one 20-years younger with a $100M checkbook. Just as he has contempt for ordinary Americans when he votes consistantly against ordinary people and for his corporate paymasters. He selected Miss Congeniality after ONE MEETING to be one heatbeat away from the nuQUEleer button, as she said, when she has absolutely no foreign policy OPINIONS let alone experience. He is truly a contemptible man who has said all he needs to say about his beliefs about women with the choice of this PR Puppet. Of course he called his wife a C**T…he has contempt for her too. Yes, I am for COMPETENT women and men. McCain and Palin are not competent for this era in America or for the world. I hope that Romney, etc enjoy being water carriers for this woman on Monday.

Forget any nice wishes. It is OUTRAGEOUS to think that a woman with 18 months as Gov of a state with a population 606,000 and previous exp as a Mayor of a town of under 9,000, with no foreign policy or International relations opinions let alone exp should be a heatbeat away from the presidency. THERE ARE 17 MAJOR U.S, CITIES WITH POPULATIONS GREATER THAN ALASKA; New York 8M, LA 4M Chicago 3M, Houston 2M, Philadelphia 1.5M, Phoenix 1.4M, San Antonio 1.3M, San Diego 1,3M, Dallas 1.2M, San Jose 912K, Detroit 886K, Indianapolis 784K, Jacksonville 783K, San Francisco 740K, Columbus, 31K, Austin 690K, Memphis 672K Someone tell me that a Mayor of one of those cities with 18 months exp.

My birthday wish is that a Katrina level storm of contempt rain down on his head and that he is voted out of the Senate ASAP, he does not deserve the presidency or to continue in the Senate. He is truly a contemptible man who has said all he needs to say about his beliefs about women with the choice of this PR Puppet. Of course he called his wife a C**T…he has contempt for her too.

Tthank you Kathleen, Great post!!

AND THEY ARE MORE QUALIFIED: Look at Bloomberg for pete’s sake. We’re taling about Miss Congeniality who believes in teaching creationism. So insane it’s unbelievable.

Well, as you can probably see I am quite ticked today. Obviously, I’m all for putting women in high places—-just not incompetent puppets to USE for PR and control like a Stepford Wife to cover up the gutting of everything that helps women and families etc. The world can’t take 4 more years of McSame. We’ve already squandered 8 years.

Theocracy Watch: http://www.theocracywatch.org/separation_church_state2.htm “”I do not find in orthodox Christianity one redeeming feature.” Thomas Jefferson “Creeds have been the bane of the Christian church … made of Christendom a slaughter-house.” Thomas Jefferson “”Of all the tyrannies that affect mankind, tyranny in religion is the worst.” Thomas Payne “Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half of the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we call it the word of a demon than the word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind”-Thomas Paine . “The Bible is not my book, nor Christianity my profession.” Abraham Lincoln “Experience witnesseth that ecclesiastical establishments, instead of maintaining the purity and efficacy of religion, have had a contrary operation. During almost fifteen centuries has the legal establishment of Christianity been on trial. What has been its fruits? More or less, in all places, pride and indolence in the clergy; ignorance and servility in the laity; in both, superstition, bigotry and persecution.” _james Madison . .

Our Constitution was based on 18thC Enlightenment Ideals….humanistic and secular…..and with freedom of choice of religion…and our Founding Fathers were mostly Deistist. ARTICLE I OF THE US CONSTITUTION: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” The Founding Fathers were extremely concerned about any joining of church and state—it always produces Tryanny, wars. Here is the entire Constitution——the #1 Article being NO CHURCH. Not the 5th or the 10th but the 1st. This is NOT a Christian nation except in the mind of the religious right. ‘In God we trust” came from Eisenhower aft WWII trying to unite and heal the country. http://constitutionus.com/

Iris, I sure hope you’re right….the US can survive a third term of Bush…I know I can’t. 8 years nightmare is plenty for me.

M.C. There are thousands of POW/ Vietnam Vets that have numerous vocal groups—-they hate McCain for all his anti Vet votes and are determined to do him in…and this was going on before this race. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTe7cuyx6J4&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlJMCUK2cmU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAscwmGj9Ao http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6s7kEb6Osqc&feature=related All McCain’s flipflops and no nothing moments caught on tape http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEtZlR3zp4c Lying to Tim Russert: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1KxgH9l3n4&feature=related

M.C.“McCain is his own man.’ get a grip. He voted with Bush 90+% of the time and is owned by his corporate paymasters for whom he works…not for YOU, not for your interests.
