Republican National Convention '08 - Page 19

Total double-standard. According to some Republicans it's not sexist for Republicans to bash Hillary Clinton when she was running and yet it is when the same is done to Palin.

Okay, I'm going to post this link because it freakin' ticked me off:

9/11 Tribute at the RNC

I don't always agree with Olbermann, I think he is an O'Reilly horse of a different color (blue), but he does have a point this time.

I think it's totally and completely distasteful. More fear, more manipulation, more of the same. How can a rebel and a maverick be okay with exploiting the attack on the World Trade Center 7 years later just to become president? Oh, and if he had nothing to do with it, then he should have come out and disagreed with it being shown at the RNC.

I hope Obama becomes our next president because stunts like this are just horrible...

I suppose you wouldn't have interpreted Palin's "Part the Waters" remark about Obama to refer to the false-messiah baloney the Republicans are tying to paint him with.

If you're not up on the code book, good for you, scaeagles. But it's got nothing to do with "interpretation."

It's rather a matter of TRANSLATION. Look it up in the Official Republican Code Book: "Judges Legislating From the Bench" = Approving the Constitutionality of Gay Marriage Rights.

Don't give me any crap about interpretation. The wink wasn't even necessary, it was just the bit that sold it .... and sold him down the river as far as I'm concerned. He can rot in Hanoi Hilton Hell in his foreverafterlife.

It is certainly the case that in Evangelical circles, "activist judges" and "legislating from the bench" means we're talking about gay marriage issues. That one will warm the cockles of James Dobson's heart.

Gak! What am I doing commenting in a political thread!?! Sorry, folks, I lost my mind. *runs away*

I hope that was just pandering.

Please don't use the words "cockles" and "James Dobson" in a sentence again.

Ever.

Anyone wonder about that building they showed on the screen behind McCain?
