My grandmother lived to be in her late 80's, yet my father died at 62- so what's the point of your statement regarding McCain's mother?

There's no hope.

You can't do it.

We can help you.

McCain IS George W. Bush.

There are no Islamic Terrorists, we're the terrorists.

Let's read the terrorists their rights before we prosecute or defend ourselves.

Any of my 302 advisors will give me the answers I need.

I can shoot a basketball and make it.

As far as supporting our soldiers who are fighting and willing to die for your freedom, it's just a dog and pony show.

We need change. Sheryl Crow will tell you how many sheets of toilet paper you need.

Then this lady comes up and says, "One candidate is using Change as an opportunity for his career. The other candidate is using his Career as an opportunity for Change."... or something to that effect.

McGowMoose says, "Life is like a diaper. Let someone else change it."

Flashforward to Redsoxfangoingwest: Blue.
His genetics are good. His mom looks as solid as a rock for her age. I was impressed. He is the ONLY leader on the ticket there and HE HAS ALREADY fought for and defended your freedoms. He is a modern day hero AND HE AIN'T DONE YET!

That's my point.

There's a thread on that here.

I'm seeing a lot of these responses:

I only saw a few minutes of it but it was hard to hear her since her voice was muffled from her head being up Mccain's a**.
I'm seeing MANY democrats running scared now with a lot of hatred! I was accused on another thread of "painting" all the Democrats as atheists and Republicans as "God Worshippers".

Well, just step back and look at the facts. Look at what you dems are going to. You're so worried that the Right will cram religion down your throats. You want to defend your right to separation of church and state. You want to defend your right to be atheists, many of you. Well that's fine.

We already HAVE separation of Church and State! The Church shouldn't be able to take money from the State and be told what to do. The State shouldn't be able to take money from the Church and be told what to do.

But MONEY is powerful, isn't it. There IS corruption! Surprise surprise.

But America also means the Religious Citizens and Leaders of this Country Still have a right to worship their GOD any damn way they see fit!!!!!!!!!

Reminded me of the film Jesus Camp, which has the same aura that Sarah Palin's followers do.

She's a smug little ****. You can tell she has always been the prettiest girl in her town and has always been treated as such. Joe Biden wont care much for her.

It's not her fault that she's pretty. It is her fault that she's got more ballz than the men that face her. The only difference is that she wears hers on her chest.

Women rock!

Amen to that! Even Barbara Boxer could rock as well if she would just soften her heart toward pregnant women and their unborn...like Palin has.

She was not making fun of that, she was making fun of Obama trying to con folks he did anything worth while to run for president. He did not!
