folk need to be as hard on obama (us) as we are Mccain
Where you go?
Yes, Torrance...we need to look at EVERYBODY very carefully. Honestly, I am extremely disappointed in the state of politics in our country. Living abroad has given me an interesting perspective that most of you are unfortunately not privy to. Bush has done major damage in all of our names...and we are not as respected or adored as we used to be.
Women are flocking to help put Palin in the White House. The republicans won't even let her speak about what she will do for our country...until after they have prepped her endlessly this week, that is. Then when people get tough on her, the supporters scream 'sexism' and she hides behind that skirt. Man, this is not a joke! She is possibly going to be second in charge in the highest political office in the world...with unbelievable power and a plethora of responsibility. America had BETTER wake up!!!
In my opinion, they need to make her as yellow with endless scrutiny as they did Obama. And if she can't take it, then she isn't fit to sit in any seat in the W. House, including on the toilets!! It's time for the public and media to take off the dainty little gloves they've been wearing in regards to her and see what little Ms. Barracuda is really made of!! Four years is a long time to wait to correct yet another mistake!!
In my humble opinion, if she can't hang with the big dogs, she needs to take her tail and hide back under the porch. Woof...woof!!
PS..Hey DP! Pray you and yours are well. You are often in my thoughts. Stay blessed everybody.
