Either grow up with money or marry into money. Its a moot point really.

Hell most people voting Republican don't even make enough money to benefit from being a Republican. There's irony in there somewhere.

And the rumor machine is full speed ahead.
Kid #5 supposedly is her 16 year old daughters, not hers.

And she's into spending.
Bridge to nowhere.
Open pit mining (interestingly enough Ted Stevens was AGAINST it.)

What I find really odd is that McCain would pick someone he didn't even know. It's reported that he only met her once in Feb of this year.

Wouldn't you want a VP who you knew and trusted?

Doesn't make any sense to me. The fact that she's open to teaching Creationisim in schools is frightening.

Here's a quote I love:

Quote:

Palin also said of her son, whose name is Trig Paxon Van Palin, "I'm looking at him right now, and I see perfection. Yeah, he has an extra chromosome. I keep thinking, in our world, what is normal and what is perfect?"

So because she's pro-life she'll rationalize that her baby with Downs is just as normal as we are, yet a gay person, who God made differently as well, is somehow less deserving of such equality?

What a hypocrite.

That would me sense if there were a Gay person who doesn't have the exact same rights as the rest of us.

It amazes me how little the environment means to you people.

Can't wait for the crying once they put in the LNG terminal and they put a massive guard zone around it.

I believe it is called "NIMBY". Not many care if they can't "see" it.

I hear no gloves and nail polish is popular amongst the comm crowd.

Just as an FYI---not that I buy into either one, but there's a huge difference between "Intelligent Design"--which is what Palin stated she thought should be taught along with evolution in schools---and "Creationism".

One accepts the fact that the universe is billions of years old and that humans evolved from other species, and the other claims that the universe is 6000-odd years old and was created in 6 days.

I knew you would get the silver spoon comment. Just suprised Spence missed it.

On the Republican issue; I for one do not stand by any party lines. I do believe in voting for the man (or woman for you politically correct types).

Obama's worst trait to me is his ability to talk out of "both sides of his mouth". This is very apparent with his stance on 2A...... That sinks him for me.

If we could get a candidate who would take on DC and its "pork barrel spending" we would be better off. Maybe if we limited terms on senators and such something could happen, but that is for another day.

To me it means it is ironic that Obama is trying to protray himself as at "for the middle class". How can he expect the "common man" to believe any of his rantings when he has never been there. Thus the silver spoon.

That's what I assumed you meant, but I don't think Obama grew up as a rich kid. Raised by a single mother and went to school on scholarships. I don't believe he was dirt poor either, but that's a long way from deserving the "silver spoon" label.

Sure he's rich now, but it appears to be the product of a well educated and intelligent person who wrote some good books!
