The woman has a gift.

#1 | Posted by rcade

That gift keeps on giving and giving and giving!

Oh my gosh--you guys are just in love with her--admit it!

Well she wouldn't be the first to "violate code":

(i) The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever. It should not be embroidered on such articles as cushions or handkerchiefs and the like, printed or otherwise impressed on paper napkin or boxes or anything that is designed for temporary use and discard. Advertising signs should not be fastened to a staff or halyard from which the flag is flown.

(j) No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform. However, a flag patch may be affixed to the uniform of military personnel, firemen, policemen, and members of patriotic organizations. The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing. Therefore, the lapel flag pin being a replica, should be worn on the left lapel near the heart.

Some of "The Code" makes sense, I guess...but what a bunch of spooky tradition! "The flag, the flag, the flag, the flag..." Holy shit!

"I dont get all choked up about yellow ribbons and American flags. I consider them to be symbols, and I leave symbols to the symbol-minded." - George Carlin

If you search Google Images for "flag bikini," there's lots of violations of the code. I could take offense there for hours.

I'd toss her a bang!

Didn't y'all know that's her magical cape? That means every once in awhile it'll rest atop her ass... nice!

Oh my gosh--you guys are just in love with her--admit it!

Here is my non-partisan gift for the boys on DR

I think that was photoshopped, but it's a nice pic nonetheless, CChris.

I got an x-rated email attachment with a woman who looked exactly like Palin engaged in really raunchy sex. It's called "Who's nailin' Palin". If you want a copy, jeff, send me an email and I'll forward it to you.

The resemblance to Palin is remarkable. She is doing it with two Russian soldiers

Why is this on the front page?

LOL!!!

But I had to laugh at Palin finding a way to turn a charming puff piece into a pretty obvious example of flag mistreatment. The woman has a gift.

I suppose sarahush will be Officially and Highly Publicly Outraged at this desecration. Or maybe Letterman can hammer her for being an America-hater.
Turn about is fair play as my dear old grannie used to say.

You're joking, right, rcade? I don't mean about the violation -- maybe it is. Probably is. But you can't come up with better stories than this?

Please. You're slipping, dude. I know you can do better because you usually do.

I refer you back to my first comment in this discussion.

I'm aware the Flag Code is small stuff to most people, but to some it's a huge honking deal.

you?

you?

I think it's a minor deal, though I wouldn't treat a flag that way. About as big a deal as Obama forgetting to put his hand over his heart during the National Anthem in the primary.

They use anything just to talk about her. But hey, she's an atractive woman and she looks good in that pic. Plus they are not defacing the flag or doing anything really wrong in the pic. It is merly a decoration. This is the only time I will say this, Palin has done nothing wrong with this sitch.

The Left

What a load of BS.
Sarah Palin is NOT violating ANY laws on display of the Flag in the picture indicated.

If RCADE wants to put up BS lies, he can since this is his site but lies are still lies.

The citation of the flag not touching the ground, water or merchandise is referring to what happens when LOWERING the Flag, not the fact that it is laid over the chair in this picture. I have laid our flag on the table and it drapes over one or two chairs when preparing to fly it because it is a huge flag. I don't let it touch the floor or anything else but have to get it ready to fly. I do it with all of the respect our Flag is due because it is a symbol of our nation.

The ONLY violation that there may be in that picture is the Flag is not folded in a formal manner.

99.9% of people violate that rule since all but the military, veterans and police/fire organizations know how to fold the flag properly.

My Flag was flown over the U.S. Capital Building and I have it folded, but not in the formal manner that the military does it.

That is not out of disrespect, but because I don't know how to do it correctly. For that matter, when I received it, it was not folded in the formal manner yet was flown by the military over the U.S. Capital Building as a Memorial to my two deceased Sisters and two deceased Brothers. It came in a box and was folded into squared shape, not the formal triangle.

Does that mean that the military people who fly flags over the Capitol Building are disrespectful?

I sincerely doubt it.

If you are such a stickler for Flag Protocol RCADE, why have you NEVER posted a single complaint about military, police or fire personnel who have violated the Flag Protocol innumerable times?

Specifically: Article 186 (c) The flag should never be carried flat or horizontally, but always aloft and free.
Violations can be found at:

So when I take my flag down at night, where do I store it if setting it on a table is out?

You fold it and place it respectfully in a safe place, definitely not on the ground. You don't throw it over a chair. If you don't take it off the pole, you roll it up and place it in a safe place, also the flag itself not touching the ground.

Or you can keep a light on it all night, and not bring it in.

If you care enough to bring it in at night, you already know all that, don't you?

"Ragged Old Flag"

I walked through a county courthouse square,
On a park bench an old man was sitting there.
I said, "Your old courthouse is kinda run down."
He said, "Naw, it'll do for our little town."
I said, "Your flagpole has leaned a little bit,
And that's a Ragged Old Flag you got hanging on it.

He said, "Have a seat", and I sat down.
"Is this the first time you've been to our little town?"
I said, "I think it is." He said, "I don't like to brag,
But we're kinda proud of that Ragged Old Flag."

"You see, we got a little hole in that flag there
When Washington took it across the Delaware.
And it got powder-burned the night Francis Scott Key
Sat watching it writing "Oh Say Can You See"
And it got a bad rip in New Orleans
With Packingham and Jackson tuggin' at its seams."

And it almost fell at the Alamo
Beside the Texas flag, but she waved on through.
She got cut with a sword at Chancellorsville
And she got cut again at Shiloh Hill.
There was Robert E. Lee, Beauregard, and Bragg,
And the south wind blew hard on that Ragged Old Flag.

On Flanders Field in World War I
She got a big hole from a Bertha gun.
She turned blood red in World War II
She hung limp and low by the time it was through.
She was in Korea and Vietnam.
She went where she was sent by her Uncle Sam.

She waved from our ships upon the briny foam,
And now they've about quit waving her back here at home.
In her own good land she's been abused
She's been burned, dishonored, denied and refused.

And the government for which she stands
Is scandalized throughout the land.
And she's getting threadbare and wearing thin,
But she's in good shape for the shape she's in.
'Cause she's been through the fire before
And I believe she can take a whole lot more."

So we raise her up every morning,
Take her down every night.
We don't let her touch the ground
And we fold her up right.
On second thought I DO like to brag,
'Cause I'm mighty proud of that Ragged Old Flag.

-- Written by Johnny Cash

Shyguy's point was that she is NOT violating the flag code in this picture.

It isn't supposed to touch anything beneath it. Putting it away for the night after folding it properly is different than displaying it over a chair.

The Flag Code states, "When the flag is lowered, no part of it should touch the ground or any other object; it should be received by waiting hands and arms. To store the flag it should be folded neatly and ceremoniously."

The code also states that the flag should not be used as "drapery."

Fat thighs????

You expect to run on toothpicks?

For a woman of 45, she looks mighty good. Mighty good.

Nothing wrong at all with those thighs. Sarah ain't a marathoner. My GF of 53 has been running marathons and doing tris and she neither has toothypick leggage.

This being said, it is quite unbecoming for a woman of her position to be in those semi-cheesecake, cheerleaderesque poses. She expects to be taken seriously as a presidential candidate? Winning the sticky keyboard award she is.

I must object to the characterization of her thighs as fat. She is a fine figure of a woman, particularly for her age. And that naughy librarian vibe works for her.

I have seen a few pics when she was younger and she looked really good.

This pic, which appears recent, is a revelation. She is smoking-hot, for a 44-year old - possibly for a 24-year old.

Look, as a national figure she's gotten off to a REALLY rocky-start. However, I call partisanship on ANY dude who can find considerable fault with her appearance in the provided picture.

I don't even like Obama and even I still know that he didn't start the Iraq War and unless he goes back on his withdrawal plans, none of those deaths are on him. The guy who made the decision to invade for reasons that weren't true and without an exit plan is still responsible.

Don't get me wrong, sully. I agree with you. My point and I think 101's also (if I may take the liberty to speak for him) is that an Iraqi war dead thread when Bush was president generated hundreds of posts. Now that it is Obama, an Iraqi war thread generated 6 posts in 3 days.

Why? They never really cared about them except as an instrument to bash Bush with.

As I said on the other thread - I think there is a difference in attitude between being there in full force for an unspecified time under a "stay the course" standing order, vs. knowing that the withdrawal has begun and is on schedule.

That doesn't lessen the sacrifice of the troops, or make their deaths less tragic. But the feeling that there is a light at the end of the tunnel DOES make a difference.

Didn't even consider the racial implications regarding making english the offical language. Considering she is a white republican, you are spot on. Too bad the gutless Senators who voted the amendment down weren't called out on this. Instead the media portrayed it as simply a anti republican vote.

the flag code specifies burning as proper disposal, as opposed to say, thrwoing it in a garbage can after its tattered or torn.

yet, bonehead senator hatch has introduced a not flag burning amendment almost twenty times.

Where you been Chair?

Well, both acts are considered a disgrace to the flag. Libs fight for the right to do so and because of this, it is not illegal to do either.

Now, if the Republicans had their way over these acts, Palin would go to jail and Libs wouldn't think that was right.

Palin might want to send a letter to the ACLU for their past efforts keeping her out of jail today.

And, you're welcome.

I could always get good hard information here during the bush years on things that the mainstreet media failed to cover. Planting of stories, rehearsed press questions,scrubbed intel reports, and so many others.

Now this has become a fluff site for the current admin and fails to dig into any real hard hittig news. Last week we find that the EPA had a report selfed because it didnt match the findings the admin wanted yet not a peep on the drudge. Its one thing to be a schill but to completly lose your moral compass and purpose in life so you can bend over again and agian ignoring the same situations you screamed about in the previous admiin is just an embarrasment of yourself.

At some point, she and her husband are going to take a vacation someplace warm. This place may involve a combination of wonderful swimming pools and beautiful beaches. When attending such places, men and women tend to be scantilly-clad. Dudes wearing nothing but shorts and chicks donning bikinis. Given the almost paparazi-esque fascination our media has with her - are you going to be disgusted when she is photographed in a bikini, from afar, by the media?

Disgusted when she be pic'd in in bik? Yipes! I'll hope it is hi-res and I'll print and post on my wall.

Seriously though. It's one thing to be doing what's normal in life and getting photo-mugged. It's quite another to be posing all cheesey cake when you are vying for political position and power.

And to add: being where she wants to go and knowing that the photo-muggers are out there lurking, it would be a better choice to don more modest swimwear than a spaghetti thong. I doubt she would be a hangin' at this hot springs I frequent in SW Colorado where the wearing of the clothes is optional. She might be up for it. But it would not be in her best interests in the political arena.

Fake? You think this is fake? What a fucking rube. Even you should know that, if this photo was fake, Sarah would have already had three news conferences and five press releases denouncing it, the last of each complaining about the coverage the "fake" photo issue was getting.

Sarah Palin had to approve which pictures Runner's World was to use.

OC claims she apporoved of a fake one.

You Lose!

Can someone please point me to the portion of the flag code that she has violated in the picture? The article cites one section which states that "The flag should never touch anything beneath it, such as the ground, the floor, water, or merchandise." Is a chair "merchandise?" How about flags made in factories that come in packages or boxes - is the assembly line and the box also "merchandise?" Taking this language to the extreme (as the authors here have done), the flag would have to be hand-stitched and immediately strung up forever if it can never touch anything.

That's just stupid OC.

Just curious how I am defending Sarah? By pointing out the desperate attempt of libs to make this news? Or the hypocrisy they are offended by this photo?

By calling it fake without cause

You are defending the act displayed in the photo by claiming it is fake.

You must not agree with her and the photographer's use of the flag drapped over a chair. To the point that you claim lefties faked the photo to make her look bad.

So you agree that this photo makes her look bad and your only defense is that it must be faked.

You Lose this argument.

By calling it fake without cause

So this is what the Palin obsessed critics have to offer now.. she didn't wear the flag properly?

Man, get a life.

I don't know why right tards try to make excuses for this. It's such a non-issue, put up so the likes of TrannyPaths can harp on it for hours on end. Why waste time making excuses for non-issues such as this?

Of course, the right tards did make a big deal about Obama's flag pin...

"The Runner's World shot is mildly disrespectful, but the complete flag wrap is ridiculous. The U.S. flag is not a poncho."

So an American Olympian who wraps the flag around his or her shoulders between winning a race and the victory lap is being disrespectful? (I know they hold the flag up during the victory lap but immediately after the race, they let it hang over their sweaty shoulders and back)

Or let's say an American heavyweight champ travels to Russia on Christmas and beats the shit out of some giant, steriod using Russian who killed the American's best friend and in process wins over a crowd of Russian military officials.... Then afterwards, that boxer wraps himself in the American flag.... That's disrespectful?

Sorry, not buying that. The people who made up these flag rules must be secret gay Muslim communists from France.

LOL!

It shouldn't be burned.

But, some people believe their rights trump respect for the flag.

It's just a piece of cloth, paper, or whatever is the current issue.

I do. But what's the difference be between a table and chair? ...folded in a triangle or square? Also, a draped flag is preferred over constrained, is it not?

Another thing I wonder with the clothes thing. Is a shirt with the stars and stripes motif considered a flag? If not, when does it become one? When all 50 stars and 13 stripes are visible? If only 40 stars and 10 stripes are visible on the shirt, is it OK?

I don't give a rat's ass if you sport your flag pin. but if you give me shit for not wearing mine, then rest assured you're going to get shit for every violation of flag etiquette you convey, intended or not.

The August 2009 issue of Runner's World includes a Q&A with Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin about her lifelong interest in jogging. The story includes eight photos of Palin in running attire, and the last one shows that Palin still has a knack for turning a harmless publicity stunt -- like pardoning a turkey -- into a potential black eye.

I always find it amusing when people call Sarah (or anyone) a loser and say they want her to run. IOW, you know the democrats don't have a candidate worth voting for, so the strategy is to hope the opponent is a stupid loser like Palin. That is how the democrats 'won' the '08 election -- the other side lost.

And those who want so badly for a loser of a Republican candidate want so because they know a decent candidate would kick their ass.

I mean, why else would you want a loser to run against your candidate? If your candidate is the best, they should be able to beat anyone.

Funny to see the dems admit all they have to offer are losers, and they don't even realize they are admitting it. LOL

Al Franken could have ran and beaten Mcsame. Obama is a good president. I have a feeling by 2012 the ship will be righted and unemployment will be 6-7%. We will be home from Iraq and everyone will be happy. Obama is hard at work changing America and republicans will either have to accept the change or be left in the dust.

Can you imagine the howl that we would be hearing if this had been one of the Obama's standing in their dining room with a flag draped over the furniture while mugging for the camera?

OCU

Didn't one of the Obamas vote against an amendment protecting the flag? Another pathetic and ignorant poke by OCU.

I always find it amusing...

When Goatman opens his mouth to attempt to refute some obviously true point made by Bob. The left does want her to run. Period. Any intelligent political strategist wants the weakest possible candidate, and she is probably it. All the self-righteous rhetoric about wanting to run against losers is naive horseshit and in Goatman's case, nothing more than pavlovian response to a BuffaloBob post.

"I always find it amusing when people call Sarah (or anyone) a loser and say they want her to run. IOW, you know the democrats don't have a candidate worth voting for, so the strategy is to hope the opponent is a stupid loser like Palin.

Not inaccurate.

???

Where did I refute his point? I fully admit that bOoB is 100% correct. They want a loser to run against. That's exactly what I said. Are you so anxious to troll that you have to put words in my mouth?

I stated why the dems want a loser to run. I didn't disagree with bOoB in the least.

Please don't put words in my mouth when you troll me, null. And see a doctor about that lying thing. LOL

Are you so anxious to troll that you have to put words in my mouth?

#266 | Posted by goatman

Isn't that exactly what you did to Bob in your response?

For one who gets so upset when you perceive others to have either put words in your mouth, or seemed to claim to know what was in your mind or your heart, you just did it yourself, in spades.

"They want a loser to run against. "

Everyone wants a loser to run against. Only a partisan hack like Goatman pretends that's exclusive to the "dems".

"Funny to see the dems admit all they have to offer are losers, and they don't even realize they are admitting it. LOL".

Which sentence?

Everyone wants a loser to run against

The people who are good enough don't care who they run against. They know they will win on their own merit, not on the demerit of their opponent.

#261 | Posted by nonpartisan goatman

duh. Thanks cap'n obvious. No one would've known that was my post if you didn't repeat it. The DR is so stupid, it takes 'em twice. Thank goodness benevolent null is here to assist those not as smart as himself.

I guess you missed this part Goatman.

Although it would be pretty sad if Palin ends up being the best Republican choice. I don't see how that party would ever recover after coming to that conclusion.

"Which sentence?"

LOL. Don't even waste your time, SA. Petty Goat will parse you to death.

They want a loser to run against. That's exactly what I said.

But we are suppossed to be afraid of her so you are wrong Goatman. Go talk to your buddy Eddie as that is who these comments are directed at with his assumption that we are afraid of this woman.

I guess you missed this part Goatman.

???

Of course I didn't. And it has what to do with the point I was making? My point is the dems want a loser to run against. Your point is the Republican party would have a hard time recovering from saying Palin is their best choice.

I fail to see the juxtaposition.

But we are suppossed to be afraid of her...

Are you?

If that dingy bitch was prez prayer would be mandatory in schools.

LOL. Don't even waste your time, SA.

Translation: "It ain't there". Because if it was, you'd spend the three seconds it takes to C&P it -- less time than it took to type your retort. LOL

Nope. I'm not a Republican.

And you fail to see a lot of stuff Goatman. This shouldn't surprise you.

"It ain't there".

#278 | Posted by goatman

Of course its there. But you go ahead and play your little game by yourself, if you want to.

Go talk to your buddy Eddie as that is who these comments are directed at with his assumption that we are afraid of this woman.

???

Why? I am saying just the opposite of Eddie. I maintain y'all have absolutely no fear of her. That's why y'all want her to run. I agree with you.

It's not a subtle point I'm making.

If that dingy bitch was prez prayer would be mandatory in schools.

Actually, Mr. Civics, for that to happen there would have to be a Constitutional ammendment. The president (or congress) could not mandate that.

I'm not a Republican.

???

No shit? I'm not Polynesian.

Of course its there

If you can't produce it, you can't produce it. Just say so. Everyone makes mistakes.

Because you are trying to spin an argument that you aren't involved in.

What should I say when someone accusses me of being afraid of Sarah Palin for President?

When you and I both know that there isn't a chance in HELL the GOP is going to nominate her.

But, when the economy improves and the GOP doesn't have anything to cry about, they just might throw her under the bus.

But your asinine statement "you know the democrats don't have a candidate worth voting for" is probably the most stupid statement in this thread and Eddie has said a lot.

Not very big of you there little man.

She would try to get it rammed through and if you repubs ever got 60 senators in I bet it would happen along with medicaid, ss, and every other social program getting thrown down the toilet. Only those who could pay would get health care and schooling. The USA would a social structure similar to South America where there would be the rich elite and a large class of have nots.

And you fail to see a lot of stuff Goatman. This shouldn't surprise you.

Are you surprised at your own failed omniscience?

Well if I was a Republican, I would be afraid of that woman. She just might have the ability to rip that party into 2.

What should I say when someone accusses me of being afraid of Sarah Palin for President?

That wasn't I. Again, I agree with you. I know you have zero fear of her (third time on this point)

Are you surprised at your own failed omniscience?

#287 | Posted by goatman

You mean omniscience like you thinking you know what Democrats do or do not realize?

"you know the democrats don't have a candidate worth voting for" is probably the most stupid statement in this thread and Eddie has said a lot.

WHo is it, then? And why didn't they run him/her in 2008?

Not very big of you there little man.

What isn't? Stating the obvious? Sorry the truth stings you a bit, mp

You're losing it dude. Don't stray from reality there bud, it makes you look like a fool.

Well if I was a Republican, I would be afraid of that woman.

Maybe that is why I am like you and have no fear of her. I fear no politician except the ones who become my elected officials.

What an idiot.

BTW, I go eat dinner at 4:30. I say that now because in the past when I've gone to go eat or work a job order that comes in, the less insecure ones here accuse me of turning tail and running.

Why are you all so worried about who is going to be running for President now. The new President hasn't even been sitting in the chair in the Oval Office for 7 months. The entire world can be changed in another year -- for better or worse.

Sarah Palin won't be run as President in 2012, but she will remain a well-known and popular figure on the political stage. I wouldn't be surprised to see her run for the Senate some day.

I wouldn't care if Palin became a Senator. I think she has the ability to relate to most regular people -- she wasn't born with an attitude of entitlement or some silver spoon in her mouth.

That black guy that kicked the shit out of the War Heroes ticket.

Nope. He wasn't worth voting for. And he's as much white as black. I fail to see why his race is of import here, but leave it to a democrat to make sure it is mentioned, even if in error.

What an idiot.

I knew eventually you'd resort to name calling. Congratulations, though -- you hold out longer than null. That's all he has.

It's been a whole 5 minutes since Goatman posted on here. Bet him eating dinner is just some excuse and he really just turned tail and ran. LOL

Enjoy your life of fear then.

I fear rattlesnakes too. But I don't let them have a negative impact on my life, either. I do indeed enjoy my life.

oops, so much for Goat's dinner hour.

" accuse me of turning tail and running."

Yeah, I hate that. This is a blog, not a real-time conversation, and people have things to do, and blog and run and come back, etc. That reality doesn't keep some douchebag from screaming that joeblow "ran away" if he doesn't get an instant response.

I do indeed enjoy my life.

Lies just like the Dinner story. The only person I ever met that ate that early was my grandmother.

I knew my #261 would ignite a shit storm. LOL

And then there is Bamy's friend, Bill Ayers:

Nope. He wasn't worth voting for.

More than 50% of Americans disagree with you and in a Democracy that makes you WRONG.

Enjoy your dinner and your 4th. We're still Americans and Saturday is for us all.

Oh and for the tea baggers to try to disgrace our national day.

Lies just like the Dinner story. The only person I ever met that ate that early was my grandmother.

The galley is open for dinner from 4:30 to 7:00. I get there early before it is all steam-tabled to death.

Now you know several thousand more people who eat that early -- oil patch workers.

It's refreshing to have a moment of concensus with you null.

Now don't ever let it happen again! *grin*

So where did GM run off and hide? Can't hang huh?

Oh.

Now turn tail and run and eat your dinner before, as you say, it's steam-tabled to death. lol

Don't worry, Jackass, et al, will be more than thrilled to argue with you the rest of the night,

A concensus does not determine reality. Flat earth, anyone?

Thank you and sincerest hopes for a great Independence Day for you. I'm lucky. 4th of July is my favorite holiday and I go home tomorrow. Gonna have a great weekend!

I wonder if the rig could get roaches on it?

I wonder if the rig could get roaches on it?

No vermin at all. No roaches, flies, ants, or anything. When we were in South America two years ago we had some iguanas stow away in drill pipe. (they like the residual heat at night we were told) I caught one and had the welder make me a cage for it. He lived in the ET shop for 6 months until we finally let one of the crane operators take it home and give it a better place to live.

Here's a picture of the iguana:

The cooks and stewards were Columbian and they did offer to cook him for us. LOL

WHOA, goatman! Slow down.

Your first paragraph begins with (at best) a weak assumption and then you extrapolate onward from that to false conclusions. GIGO.

FIRST: "IOW, you know the democrats don't have a candidate worth voting for, so the strategy is to hope the opponent is a stupid loser like Palin."

Uh, that would be "IYOW" (In YOUR Other Words). Another, and in this specific case more supportable, justification for desiring a weak opponent is that resources (time and money) will NOT have to be expended to ensure electoral victory. Subsequently, those resources can be utilized to further other campaigns and (ultimately) one's agenda.

SECOND: "And those who want so badly for a loser of a Republican candidate want so because they know a decent candidate would kick their ass."

If I understand you correctly, you're saying a decent candidate would (paraprasing a bit) beat another (presumably 'lesser')candidate. OK, but why state the obvious? "What if Spartacus had a Piper Cub?" - chickenrancher (GREAT quote!). Is that not the way elections are supposed to work (regardless of party affiliation)? So..., what's preventing the Republican party from fielding a 'decent candidate'?

THIRD: "I mean, why else would you want a loser to run against your candidate? If your candidate is the best, they should be able to beat anyone."

Already answered above.

FOURTH: "Funny to see the dems admit all they have to offer are losers, and they don't even realize they are admitting it. LOL"

Too ironic! If anything, your statements "paint" Gov. Palin as 'a loser' and YOU don't even realize. Consider this: if it's NOT true, then what's your point???

If you want to believe that the Democrats didn't win in '08 so much as the other side lost, fine. Personally, I would find it hard to back up such a statement given: the margin of victory, the support across diverse demographic groups, the expansion of the Democrat party in Congress, and the level of campaign organization that was devoted to the effort. To each his own, of course.

The cooks and stewards were Columbian

And the Crane Operator?

Palin gets over 300 on a thread like this on a lib site? Too fucking funny. Gotta say, she looks good in the pictures.

Yeah, it took 300 posts to determine that Libs are afraid that Sarah would get slaughtered in 2012 and that someone ate Goatman's lizard.

I've covered most of your points, TB, so no need to re-hash. However, I will comment on :

Too ironic! If anything, your statements "paint" Gov. Palin as 'a loser' and YOU don't even realize.

I do realize. Why would you think otherwise? I've never endorsed Palin. The only thing I've ever said positive about her is that she is a looker. And I'll defend that one all night! Just because I chastized people who went to extremes in attempt to denigrate her (surely you've heard me harp on the idiocy of trying to tie her to the actions of her daughter's boyfriend's mother) and came down on people who made fun of her handicapped child does not mean I endorsed her politically.

Consider this: if it's NOT true, then what's your point???

Read above paragraph. My point is clear and I stand by it.

The crane operator is a good old Louisiana boy. But those coonasses eat frog legs, so maybe they eat iguana, too.

I had a good meal. I opted for the chicken pot pie and the brussel sprouts. No iguana.

Gotta say, she looks good in the pictures.

She's hot. I wouldn't kick her out of bed.

No, but I would kick her.

"Sarah, I am going to rub my cock between your tits until I cum."

"Well how is that going to make me feel good MP?"

"Well when I'm done, I'll stop kicking you in the face. How's that?"

"You betcha big boy."

(It's not my joke. Please direct all angry emails to Doug Stanhope)

"brussel(sic) sprouts"

#330 | Posted by goatman at 2009-07-02 05:51 PM

WHICH of my points have you covered, goatman???

In case you missed my points, I'll iterate:

#1. You falsely assume one "knows" the Democrats don't have a candidate worth voting for, so their strategy is to hope for a weak opponent. My point: yours is a weak (at best) assumption and there are other BETTER reasons to hope for a weak oppponent. Since your beginning premise is in doubt (as shown by my points), conclusions can not be drawn or supported from it. This you did not address.

#2. You state a 'decent candidate' would (should?) win. That's obvious and was noted as such, so that was neither addressed nor needed to be addressed.

#3. Your statement (and my point) is an iteration of #1, which (again) you did not address.

#4. This is the only item you DO address. You state that: "Funny to see the dems admit all they have to offer are losers, and they don't even realize they are admitting it. LOL". My point was your statement was ironic since you were doing PRECISELY what you accused "the dems" of doing. In addition, no dem has admitted that all they have to offer are losers. Since you haven't proven either case (1. that "the dems" admit that all they have to offer are losers or 2. "the dems" strategy is to hope for 'a loser' opponent), your conclusions have no stated basis.

Meanwhile, IF your only point is that Gov. Palin is "a loser", then I guess we're done. Otherwise, I would suggest providing some "hash" before claiming it's "a RE-hash". Of course, if I missed something you "hashed", please enlighten me...
