PUT THAT DICK IN MY MOUTH! 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2008 It quite literally assumes that the "conservative base" is galvanized against Obama for fear that he is a Muslim extremists. These people aren't stupid; I think you might be underestimating the "conservative base." But whatever, the bigger point the post was trying to make is that trying to win this election by shoring up the base is really not the best idea. Which is, I think, a fairly accurate assessment. I could be wrong, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shelton Benjamin outta f'in nowhere! 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2008 (OT) RonL21, what's going in your signature? It appears that Jonathon Coachman has been doomed to an eternal loop of buzzkill. (T) With these articles falling over themselves to say they like Sarah Palin personally but hate her positions, I wonder if any of them are salvaged drafts written for Huckabee's VP nomination.

SuperJerk 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2008 SuperJerk's stupid white noise. Do you have a problem with my idea, or are you just coming after me because all the cool kids are doing it? Chelsea Clinton was the BUTT of Republican jokes for years. I think the American people need to be reminded of that. Hillary Clinton can credibly refute Palin's complaining about sexism, Chelsea Clinton can refute Republican whining about coming after daughters. Am I wrong? Refute? Clint-dawg can REFUTE so-called media sexism, as the woman who single-handedly made almost every talking head put their tail between their legs and apologize for attacking her in virtually any way? She can do it by bringing up Palin's criticism of her during the primaries, coupled with a "Republican policies are bad for working families" argument. Really, anyone can do it, it'll just sound better coming from Hillary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2008 These people aren't stupid; it's trying to disbar any legitimate political disagreements with Obama.

You should pay a visit to conservative Indiana some time. A lot of these people are that stupid. I reckon it's just worst if you drive south of here. Look, for every blindly accepting conservative voting for Huckabee because he plays bass, I'll give you a paranoid liberal voting for Obama because he's black. All I'm saying is that it's rather tactless to paint the opposing party like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jobber of the Week 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2008 Jesus christ, "media sexism" won't work because the media isn't sexist by and large. If it is, it isn't sexist AGAINST women. They can do like Dick Cheney and say they won't talk to "unfriendly" papers, but they aren't going to hole her up and say "nuh-uh! None of you get to talk to her 'cuz yer ALL sexist!"

Jobber of the Week 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2008 This is what Palin and Giuliani were mocking. They were making fun of a young man's decision "to serve a cause greater than himself," in the words of John McCain. They were, therefore, mocking one of their candidate's favorite messages. (...) Perhaps La Pasionaria of the Northern Slope didn't know this when she read the words they gave her. But Giuliani--a profoundly lapsed Catholic, who must have met more than a few religious folk toiling in the inner cities--should have known. ("I don't even know what that is," he sneered.") What a shameful performance. What a Community Organizer Does Reccomended read. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
