Oh yeah, that's where I saw it, on an Obama ad in Nevada.

So I was on Twitter, and under the "hot political topics" links, one was Zamboni. Oh I HAD to see what THAT was about, LOL!

(Hint, it involves Palin and children)

edit: oops, I should read before posting, pbbbt.

At least she didn't want to name a girl Zamboni. It would give a whole new meaning to the Zamboni song....

I swear, they set my teeth on edge.

Is it just me or does McCain look super-tense the whole time she's talking, like he's just waiting for her to say something stupid?

This is just anecdotal, but all the clips I keep hearing of recent McCain ralleys has the audience constantly booing Obama (even the He wants to spread the wealth line that is an incredibly popular idea with most Americans) ... whereas the clips I keep hearing of recent Obama ralleys has the audience constantly cheering when he repudiates Palin by declaring there are no real or fake American places in America, no pro or anti American places in America, and that we all love our country no matter where we live or where we are from.

Cheers, positive, happy Obama ralleys. Booing, nasty, pissed off McCain ralleys.

D'uh.

Quote:

Trevor Potter, a former chair of the U.S. Federal Election Commission who is gay, is serving as the top lawyer for the presidential campaign of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.).

As the campaign’s general counsel, Potter has been identified by newspapers such as the New York Times and Washington Post as one of the nation’s most highly regarded experts on U.S. election laws. Potter has been credited with helping draft the McCain-Feingold Act, a bipartisan federal measure that reformed federal campaign finance laws.

But few mainline news outlets have reported on Potter’s other role as a high-level, openly gay adviser to McCain.

I don't understand this.
I know money is money, but the McCain camp is vehemently against marriage equality. In fact, Palin wants a Federal Marriage Amendment. Why work for someone who is working against you?
People like Potter and all the gay staffers that work for anti-gay Republicans and Democrats... I do not understand them...

They're self-haters. Easy. Simple. Instant psychoanalysis complete.

You're welcome.

Perhaps they find there are other things more important? Is it wrong for homosexuals to be more concerned with economic policy or foreign policy than with same sex marriage?

Just because there are different priorities than yours doesn't mean they are self haters.

I'm sure the Jews who supported Hitler had their reasons too... Until the went to the gas chambers.

(And yes, I know I just invoked Godwin... Get over it.)

scaeagles · 10-23-2008, 12:46 PM

Wow. I don't mind Godwin being invoked when done so in a rational fashion. I think the comparison is a bit over the top.
