What about Josie the accountant?!?! Wah, Joe can't buy a business...people can't fill their gas tanks to go look for work, people fear catastrophic illness will drive them into foreclosure and bankruptcy, young people are choosing to go to work because they can't afford to continue their education!
1. McCain (sneering): "The health of the woman..." WTF?!?!? Are you high???
2. Obama: "Joe, here's your fine - zero." Will Grampy stop lying about it now?
3. Obama: "(Gov. Palin) is a capable...uh...politician." Faint praise indeed as to the question of her fitness to be President.
4. McCain: "(Gov. Palin) understands the issue of autism better than almost anybody." Wha---? Really?!? How does having a Down's Syndrome baby for approximately 5 months make you an expert is special needs children in general, and autistic children specifically???
Those are my immediate impressions. I may update this later, but in the mean time, have at it!

Was autism actually brought up? I missed that.
yeah, he brought up Autism. Apparently, Downs Syndrome and Autism are the same to McCain.
I also had to endure several minutes of paused screen whilee Mr. Suza commented on Michelle Obama's ass. He was very appreciative of it.
I don't think the word fuck is very polite.
gina - if Joe the plumber shows up on the blog, I will apologize. Otherwise, I have not been impolite to my fellow posters.
Since the word 'fuck' didn't come up in the debate, would you care to comment on the debate, at all? Or anything relevant to the matter at hand?
Yes, I will. Politics is filthy business. Do not get your underwear in a twist...what did you expect? And,'fuck' is still not a very polite word.
I think you're thinking Ol'McNut is going to win, and the Democrats are going to lose--again.
Have hope, dear, Ohio is already showing voter discrepencies.
Look, if Joe The Plumber dropped a toilet tank lid on his foot, he might be inclined to say 'fuck' too...
As far as a relevant comment goes...I'm glad that was the last debate. ;-)
I think "Joe the Plumber" replaced "Joe six pack" since so many people reacted negatively towards that. But you know what? They way they used it is still insulting. Plumbing is a difficult and lucrative career choice. Have you ever tried to fix your own plumbing? Not too easy. McCain kept talking about Joe as if he was an under-educated alcoholic with 10 kids who was just lucky enough to work for a company that he might be able to buy one day.
Fuck that.
If you grew up rich, maybe plumbers were part of that group of people who trouped in and out of your house, fixing stuff, that you never paid much attention to. If you grew up poor or middle class, plumbers are part of that group that makes a decent salary from specialized knowledge.
I don't know where I'm going with this, but I guess I didn't find McCain's reference to him very believable.
There is nothing like a good string of cuss words to relieve tension. My favorite is:
'goddamanmotherfuckingcocksucking sonofabitch'
Personally, I think cussing is a fine art
It turns out that Joe the Plumber is a wealthy Republican donor who is a close relative of Charles Keating's son-in-law.
My view of this debate was the same as my view of the first debate. Neither man had the advantage. Both men seemed quite strong, and revealed few weaknesses. McCain was more aggressive than in the first debate, but Obama was equally direct in knocking back McCain's attacks. For me, the difference in the debates was most clear in the second debate, because Obama seemed much more comfortable with responding in that format, while McCain seemed too tightly wound. Substantively, both men did pretty well in all three debates, to the extent one wanted to know about their positions on the issues and each other. The debates didn't change my mind, however--the difference between the parties on the basic issues is what decides this election for me.
To me, there was one comment that exemplified the difference between Democrats and Republicans: during some comments by McCain regarding Obama wanting to raise taxes, he said something like "nobody wants to pay taxes", and Obama said that he wouldn't mind paying more taxes. Republicans don't want to pay ANYTHING toward the upkeep of our nation, they think the free market should be allowed to take care of everything. Democrats don't mind paying taxes, because we believe it is an investment in making our nation a better place for all of us.
I don't mind paying taxes, I just don't like how they're being spent. That's why I vote Democratic - I like smooth streets, bridges that don't fall down, police & firemen that come when they're called, and schools that educate the generation that will be entrusted with the future of the USA. Those seem like worthwhile causes to me, and I gladly contribute to them. I don't like my money being paid to Blackwater, Halliburton/KBR, etc. for doing nothing but making rich people richer, and actually making the world a worse place for us all.
Amen to that.
Oh, please.In theory, paying taxes for public services is good if you get what you pay for, but why should the tax-payer pay more for salaries, benefits and pensions than they themselves don't get? And, for services that don't measure up? And to people that can't get fired for poor performance because they're protected by powerful unions that they are bullied into joining?
For what we pay in salaries to public workers, we should have little crime, smooth streets and the best-educated children in the world.
Joe the Plumber has that good ole bleu-collar Republican blindness. "I don't make much money now, and times being so tough I'll probably make even less soon. But someday I may make a lot of money. And if I do, then you'll raise my taxes? I can't go for that, no, sir."
.
I missed most of the fireworks, last night -- caught only the final half hour. I thought McCain looked and sounded horrible then. Talking about autism and then saying Sarah Palin knows about that. Idiotic. Stumbling over his grammar and his words, shouting "pro abortion" as often and as loudly as he could. Obama, calmly: "Nobody's pro-abortion." Then McCain shouted it again. Despicable demagoguery.
.
But, hey, our Calif. votes for Pres. won't even count in Nov. Think anybody really cares what we think?
Gina, now you're sounding like a GOP talking point. When you speak of "people that can't get fired for poor performance because they're protected by powerful unions that they are bullied into joining," it makes no sense. Let's assume for the moment that you are correct in your point that our public employees are overpaid and less than competent. If I were an incompetent public employee, and I knew that my union would protect my job, why would I need to be bullied into joining? I'd be joining on my own, lickety split. Presumably the only folks who would be upset about being forced to join a union that protected bad employees would be good public employees, who presumably wouldn't need the union to protect their jobs, but under your scenario, those folks don't really exist. Something's messed up in your characterization. So let's look at reality. The reality is that the employment rules need some tweaking, and there needs to be some better means of enforcing accountability. Unions can be brought on board with these kinds of changes if management treats them like humans instead of like numbers on a balance sheet.
A few points to add:
~
Indeed, suza, your marine man and I share an appreciation for Mrs. Obama's physical assets. :)
~
Sarah Palin is herself, perhaps, autistic.
~
The problem with taxes is that the money always seems to go to special interest groups like the American Children.
~
I found out the hard way that my health insurance company doesn't reimburse for gold plated Cadillacs. Don't bother trying.
~
Can nothing be done about Tom Brokaw's reflux?
~
Next to Bob Schieffer, didn't John McCain look full of vitality?
~
McCain's insistence that government is incapable of accomplishing anything of merit rests on the assumption that the Republicans remaining in Congress will be keeping their seats much longer. More proof he's out to lunch.
I once organized a small union. Eventually, we merged it with the Teamsters. Ah, youth.
As I recall, Gina, we had a vote as to determine whether or not we wanted to form the union in the first place, after a nasty hearing before the local reps. of the Nat'l Labor Relations Board.
Don't get me wrong. The NLRB was fine; the employer and its law firm Littler Mendelson et al, not so much. They actually set up a secret weekend shift, hired a bunch of friends as employees so they would be eligible to vote against joining the union.
We prevailed by one vote, because they couldn't convince a mentally disabled worker to turn on his co-workers. (One of the young guy's greatest friends and supporters turned out to be a disabled lawyer who'd worked for Cesar Chavez. I had a couple of wonderful chats with that man.)
Anyway, who tried to bully whom?
The big unions and their lawyers fight that type of battle every day, on a grand scale. Are unions perfect? Of course not. Necessary? Of course.
Maybe unions were once needed. But they have now morphed into power-mongers with too much political clout. Leftist clout I might add. And as for being bullies, yes they are. My husband works in a profession that forced non-mamnagement to join. Then they'd take tose dues and use them to support their candidates in addition to 'recommending' to employess on who to vote for.
Do you think the city of Vallejo would be going bankrupt if it didn't spend 3/4's of its budget paying firemen and policemen?
And for the record, my grandfather was a union-buster...rather than give into unfair demands by union thugs, he fired them all and automated everything.
One more question for you good commies...do you honestly think all that cheap crap from China would be made over there if it weren't for the help of the unions and there demands? Not that I like corporate greed anymore than union thuggery, but there are two sides to every story. And I hate partisan politics.
Sorry about the grammatical errors and misspellings. I must be mad or something.
Just for clarity's sake, are we discussing union jobs or government job? They're not exactly the same thing. Because you can get fired from a union job, just not at will or without cause. I don't know about City or State jobs but it does take something like an act of congress to be fired from a Federal job, though.
"Do you think the city of Vallejo would be going bankrupt if it didn't spend 3/4's of its budget paying firemen and policemen?"
.
No. The town wouldn't exist. It would've burned down and been looted completely decades ago.
.
And if there are two sides to every story, Gina, then isn't partisan politics sort of inevitable, at least over some issues? Come on.
.
I do appreciate being called a "good" commie, however. Thanks.
Goverment jobs are usually union protected, aren't they?
And I disagree about Vallejo. The town existed just fine before those jobs became union-protected and it didn't cost the extravagent amount that it currently does.
Honestly, now kiddies, where does California rank in school testing nationwide for spending more than half of the state budget on salaries for teachers that don't teach diddly squat?
And why do we need so many pyschiartrists for prisoners that go back out and continue to need state-funded programs to help them assimilate? And what about the recidivism rate? With all that money being spent on shrinks, we ought to be putting back out law-abiding, mentally healthy ex-cons.
Why don't you all quit lying to yourselves...you're all just toeing the party line. Well, if you think socialism is the solution, more power to ya, I guess. Remember, though, you reap what you sow, and if you become a burdensome cost to the state, remember what gets saved when it's cutting time. It won't be your ass.
Boy, you really do hate that partisan politics, Gina.
No, lefty. I really do hate it when people won't call a spade a spade. Nothing ever gets solved and no one is ever happy when people aren't willing to compromise a thing or two in order to get something they want.
That's the problem with people today...everybody is just a big hog that wants what's best for them without a regard for what's good for everyone. I makes me PUKE!.
Was that a Freudian slip?
ginag - what you are describing, in people who only want what's best for them, is the conservative way. They believe that everyone acting in enlightened self-interest will bring about positive change. That is, quite simply, CRAP!!!
I am not part of any 'special interest group': I am not poor, I don't own a house, I don't have children, I have a job, and I have little debt, I am not disabled - what exactly is it that I am asking government to do for me, other than care for the least among us??? (Okay, and road, bridges, etc...)
You don't consider bank executives to be the least among us, ferret? Because I know I do...
~
And I think I understand what gina'a getting at with his 'spade' comment, but I have to say, Obama's suit last night trumped McCain's. How does McCain expect rich America to take him seriously in those lapels?
TooSense - having worked in a bank, I would say that most bank executive are amont the lowest of us, not the least...
No, I don't think so. Would you like to come closer...I think I could puke in your ear to find out
gina....tsk,tsk! The F-word is reserved for stubbed toes, getting pulled over by the police, alarm clocks waking you during a really good dream, and plumbers from Ohio. It shouldn't be used to our fellow posters...that is rude!
Seen this? An actual shot from the debate last night, as the candidates moved out from behind the desk:
http://timesonline.typepad.com/uselections/2008/10/what-was-mccain.html
I think I need to rethink my zero tolerance policy regarding the phrase 'STFU'. I mean, here we have gina, and I'm torn between shutting the fuck up and tolerating the zero.
After watching today's News Cycle on CNN, CSNBC, MSNBC, etc...all I can do is echo JMF's original sentiment at the top of the page...
I agree with winking tiger. SOOOO funny that Joe the Plumber turns out to be unlicensed, working illegally, and a tax evader to boot. Freaking hilarious. Or should I say...fucking hilarious?
Lefty, maybe he was having a daydream about having sex.
I am not Hartal. It's Mickey the Rat LaSalle. Pretending to be me. I suspect he's a whole bunch of other posters, too...trying to create traffic for that blog of his.
I know why he was silenced about politics, but I ain't tellin'.
TwoSense are you a small-headed bald man short in stature?
And ferret, my apologies for using the word 'fuck'. My Big Greek Boyfriend is working on a project in Hollywood right now and I'm just full of unrelieved tension.
WT, you need to do something, or Sarah Palin is going to give winking a bad name. :)
But when she does it, it's Winkin'. So my rep, such as it is, is safe. For now.
Beyond the winkin', I wouldn't worry too much about her putting on tiger stripes, she's very clearly more the leopard print type.
Leopard print on genuine wild wolf fur.
You know, if your home page is Google, you can get many different decorative 'themes.' Now they have a new one: The Sarah Palin Theme! It's basically just her face at different angles and in different attitudes. Isn't that just what you want to see every time you sign on?
WT - well, if I were an aspiring bulimic, it might be just the ticket!
Too much Palin-inspired hurling could clog your toilet, leading to a call to ...you-know-who. Oops, I feel that old feeling coming on...
winkingtiger, I'm there for you, bro. Because I love and respect you, you get my discount price. Let me know.
Got you on speed dial... ;-)
Let me guess... TedPee said something incredibly nasty to protect his alter ego? Haha, Teddy, I didn't even see the efluvia flowing from the hole you call your mouth...but it left its telltale stench.
gina - why are you so hostile towards ted? If you don't even know what he said, why are you attacking it? You comment was neither polite nor reasoned, and certainly doesn't qualify as debate. Let's elevate the tone, huh???
I doubt that any of you potential pukers would dare to miss SNL tonight...
dj - nice to see you again! Of course, I wouldn't miss it for the world...but, I will make sure I watch on an empty stomach. Any responsible viewer would do the same. :-k
He's mean and picks on me, that's why.
And I'm quite certain he smells bad.
Colin Powell Endorses Barack Obama! Eloquent, lovely, said everything that needed to be said...
What did Sarah Palin prove with that dumb SNL appearance last night? That she has no talent? That she's not afraid to face the camera when she can follow a script?
.
I wonder why Gary Trudeau hasn't taken her on.
.
The money tells one helluva story. Obama's fund-raising power crushed Clinton and now it's crushing McCain. The powers that be are betting Obama.
This clip from Batman has been making the rounds. It's remarkable how similar McCain and the Penguin are. Look for SF Gate blogger, Hartal's appearance right at the end.
http://tinyurl.com/3lnxqs
Yogi...that made my day, thank you!!
j.m., you posted "why are you so hostile towards ted? If you don't even know what he said, why are you attacking it?"
Did I post something that you needed to delete? If so, my apologies
'It' is right, Tedspee.
You're mean and vile and cruel. And for a relative newcomer, you sure seem to know a lot about Hartal.
Faker.
tedspe - no, you didn't post anything I needed to delete. I was quoting gina's comment..."Let me guess... TedPee said something incredibly nasty to protect his alter ego?'" Perhaps she was continuing a conversation from MSM, with all the comments regarding Hartal, who won't come post here, I feel a little confused myself.
gina - what is your fixation with ted? Your posts are becoming rather unpleasant. And, I did feel the need to delete one of your posts, for sheer tackiness!
Tedspe launched an attack on me, unfairly I might add, accusing me of being that loathsome creature Hartal. How he can find any comparison is beyond me, because he is a new poster, is he not?
I think Mr.tED should ask himself why I get under his skin so much...I think he's not being completely forthright...and Miss-Leading.
I apologize for any tacky posts, sometimes my tongue gets away with me and my brain refuses to catch up.
Leading...
That last 'leading' thing wasn't supposed to be there.
Ted seems pretty affable. Maybe there's a misunderstanding between him and Gina.
.
I think hartal is the word for "strike" (labor, hunger) in India and its surrounding area. Is this hartal the blogger some sort of (offensive) left-wing activist?
Maybe Hartal and Ted are one and the same?
Who knows? I don't. All I know is that I'm not that obnoxious windbag Hartal.
And there is no miss- understanding, Tedspe is just plain mean, at least to me, for some unexplained reason.
Lefty, to learn about Hartal, go to Mick La Salle's most recent blog entries, or anything on the Politics blog for the past few months. I'd offer my opinion of him, but (a) I've already said my peace on the La Salle blog, and (b) I'm biased, and you should make up your own mind about what you think.
And Gina, I can't for the life of me figure out why you don't like Ted. In my opinion, he's always seemed like a decent fellow, if prone to goofiness on occasion (as are we all).
Yogi, great clip. I think I remember that episode.
dsg: How should I know why Tedspee thinks I'm Hartal?
That was an easy set-up, I know. But he/she/it seems to be very familiar with the both of us to think we're the same person.
Tedspee...why is that? From what I gather about you, you weren't around in March/April, and I haven't hardly posted anything on sfgate.
And for the record, I never posted anything that was shown as deleted. Must have been an imposter.
gina - Here is the sequence. The deleted comment was yours, and I deleted it because it was tacky. A friend of mine who read the blog actually sent me an e-mail, complaining of your comment. I do not delete without cause.

For the record, Hartal is a bright, decent man with a young family to worry about. He really doesn't deserve any shit from this peanut gallery. As a matter of fact, he is so earnest, he's actually trying to engage Babbler in a real debate. Good luck with that one.
Yogi, I respect your defense of Hartal, but I can't fully agree with your assessment of him. He's slightly crazy, is much too rigid and inflexible in his thinking for my taste, and has a knack for rubbing people the wrong way. That said, he's not stupid, and many of his posts are on target.
JM, when you said Gina's remark was "tacky," were you referring to its texture? ;)
I never left the second message.
I don't know why Tedspe thinks I'm Hartal. I haven't posted anything on sfgate in almost a year.
His rant about me was unfair and suggested that I was duplicitous. One thing I'm not is dishonest.
All he succeeded in doing was cast me in a suspicious light based on things he imagined in his head. I resent it. He displayed a mean streak a mile wide and offered no explanation for his attack on my character. I can only imagine someone that vicious has some baggage somewhere in his past that makes him merciless.
McCain is a pretty short little guy. Isn't it time someone put together a Rocky and Bullwinkle parody of McCain/Palin?
Boris & Natasha?
lefty - I thought Huckabee/Palin would be the anti-Bullwinkle ticket. He cooked squirrels in his popcorn maker in college, and she likes to kill moose! Why do Republicans hate animal-Americans???
gina - what's with posting as 'tedspe'? Are you one and the same? I'm really annoyed by people playing games on here. I don't mind silliness, but you're wasting time and pixels...
It looks like it's posting as lefty, too. Mind the IDs in blue, folks, as those are the only ones you knows...
That was me out of the blue, earlier. I didn't have time to log in so I just typed the name.
.
I can only imagine Boris McCain and Natasha Palin trying to torture Rocky and shoot Bullwinkle. Take a deft touch to make that funny.
My sincerest apologies, lefty.
No, I was proving a point. Are you smart enough to figure it out?
toosense, no problem at all. Maybe I should've made that clear too.
That's the trouble with this blog stuff -- easy to say too much, easy to say too little.
Also easy to play games. Gina, I think most of us chiming in here have a pretty good idea how smart we are. We all grew up in the era of standardized tests, which gives us all a starting point. And everyone chiming in here seems to have actual life experience, to further test the smarts. So you really don't need to pursue your helpful little IQ tests. Trust me.
No one asked for your opinion, lefty.
And toosense...stfu
xootsuit here. I haven't decided how I'm going to post. So, anon for now.
Biden's comments warning voters to beware of electing Obama because the world will test the young guy right away -- that was a great moment, huh? Helps explain why Palin was finally willing to spend a few minutes answering a "journalist's" questions.
Also, I love the curtain-call theories: people will give lip service to Obama, but vote race behind the curtain; or, people will denounce Palin's idiocy, but then vote for her stupid spunk behind the curtain.
We all now know it will come down to race, don't we?
test
Okay. This is TedSpe. This is both weird and embarassing. Trying to *actually* log on, I sent 3 test posts and they all said that they were made by Charles Bronson. I used my user name and my password and all the posts said they were posted by Charles Bronson.
Apparently, I have no idea how to use the internet.
But I hadn't read this blog since Sunday, waiting for j.m.ferretti to change the subject, but today when I saw so many, many posts, I thought I'd read tonight.
And what did I see? A very embarrasing thread that asks, first off, whether or not I'm a jerk. And then it moved on to perhaps I and the gina person were the same person.
That's why I finally decided to try to log on, as some of the later posts said you could tell if the letters were in blue or black. I, naively, assumed that no one else could use my name unless they knew my password. Like SFGate. So I saw that someone made a post which made me look like I was posting when I wasn't.
And now, when I try to post, apparently, I'm Charles Bronson.
Okay.
I just want to clear the slate, if it's not too late.
I am not the gina person. I have never been the gina person. I don't even know what the gina person looks like.
After finally reading this stuff, I realize, I've pretty much been sabatoged. Again, I didn't know until tonight that the gina person could post using my name.
So for now on, I guess, I'll be posting under the name "Charles Bronson".
Unless someone can tell me what the hell I'm doing wrong.
I have never, ever, posted under a different name and don't see the advantage of same unless one's intent is just to be annoying.
I'll admit. I like to annoy folks what spread ridiculous rumors and lies. But I've always done so using TedSpe. No aliases. And I might have annoyed this gina person for whatever reason but if I had, since I have not read this gina's person for weeks, until tonight due to my being the embarassing subject of such a long argument, if apologizing is what it takes to clean the slate, fine, fine. I apologize.
I just want to go on discussing issues in, as our hostess has requested, a civil yet vehement manner.
So, if anyone knows what I have been doing wrong with this whole Charles Bronson thing, please let me know (password? If so, please let me know how to change it. Thanks).
Otherwise, I guess I'm Charles Bronson.
But believe this, I will *never* post here again without logging in.
And this was really annoying that I had to try to do this just to clear my name.
I'm just hoping for the benefit of the doubt.
Thanks to you all for your indulgence.
`
And again, does anyone have instructions how I can be TedSpe again instead of Charles Bronson? Not that there's anything wrong with that.
:)
Okay. TedSpe again. It didn't work when I tried doing the name/url thing with TedSpe. It was still not blue. What am I doing wrong? Please.
TedSpe - I knew it wasn't you!!! Unfortunately, I have no idea how to log in, I got my name when I created the blog. There are worst things than Charles Bronson...you must have entered it somewhere for it to show up...? Please don't stay away because of you-know-who, I adore your posts.
Sometimes I get caught up in the happenings in the world, and forget to post a new blog. Any ideas for my next post...? Doesn't matter, I know what it's going to be, I just need to do some research, and have been too lazy. Tomorrow, I promise!!!
Thank you, j.m.ferretti. This whole thing was disconcerting and embarassing
Since you asked for a possible topic, what happens if, for whatever reason, McCain wins.
Will it be the same McCain who ran this campaign as an otherwordly cretin? Or the McCain who is...won't use the "M" word...but someone who just did whatever he could to be President so he could actually do some good once in office?
Sorry for that last one. Was just testing again. Apparently, the way this works...I'm always Charles Bronson.
Could be worse.
Could be Sonny Tufts
Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when we practice to deceieve....
Care to explain this conclusion of your, Tedspe? Have some proof of all this cutting and pasting going on, or are you just flapping your your big, fat stupid mouth again?
twinfan, stop!
Don't feed it!
gina/hartal is a McCain mole at worst and a "I just like to f*** with folks by being obnoxious" cretin at best. Posts all over the place as an Obama enthusiast to turn everyone off of Obama by being subhuman.
Ignore. If you see something posted by a "hartal" or a "gina", skip over and read everything else.
But remember, keep a lookout. This bizaare creature will simply create a new persona, like THE THING and try all over again.
As soon as you read something so ignorant...it is it. And if it posts an encyclopediac cut and paste job of NEWSWEEK magazine, again, ignore it.
And if you read a post that says:
"Well, if you paid attention and read the thesis' by Michael Filthdiygfd or William Grydfwkjqj that proved without a doubt that the entire Rwandan catastrophe was caused by Bush's....."
Oh, run. Run fast.
Run like the wind.
Now, my friend twinfan, control yourself, handle your anger and frustration, go to sleep and...deal with this fresh tomorrow.
I thank you.

FH, you didn't ask me, but I'm chiming in anyway. How about posting that ridiculous Michelle Bachmann tirade on Hardball with some follow up on how her running mate has gotten close to $1 million in contributions since she made her ridiculous accusations about some cogress people and some parts of America being "un-american." Also, Jon Stewart did a hilarious bit on how to tell whether or not you are a "real" american or a "fake" american.
:)
argh - not her running mate, her opponent! Must drink coffee before posting!
Ted, if you click your new blue macho moniker, I think it will take you to your profile, which you can then edit(?) to make your username something a little less vigilantesque.
~
Regarding hartal... I don't think that poster is gina; styles are pretty different. And while I agree that hartal can be quite verbose at almost all times, I really have to laugh at the notion of the pupose of the posts being to appear as an obnoxious Obama supporter to turn off voters. I'm not denying that the phenomena exists-- that being stupid voters who vote according to how other people vote and why-- but I just don't see that coming across in hartal's posts, most of which I feel are pretty much on the money. A little annoying, but then, so will be Obama if he intends to move this country in any sort of direction but down.
~
As to who gina is... who cares?
Thanks for the instructions, TooSense. I apparently also inadvertantly subscribed to posts on Brush Fires as well, last night, because I got your post and others on my personal email:)
And you're right, my previous post was pretty much facetious hyperbole
Obviously teddy does, or he wouldn't be paying so much attention to my posts, imagined or real, and trying to draw some sort of conclusion about me.
And as for you, toosense, you seem to be mentioning my name way more than your wife would probably like you to. I must be driving you crazy. Ha.
Please, why don't you just your insults a rest, I'm sure you have better things to do than to think about me.
And Tedspe, I didn't see anything funny about what you said about me.
I've lost almost everything in this world, and I'll be damned if I'm going to let some jerk steal my integrity.
Hey, how about that NBC interview with McCain and Palin, huh? Talk about your dysfunctional family values. They're toast.
Hey, I just heard that we all get free tacos on Nov. 28 from the Bell becz of something that happened in the WS. Wow. Isn't that the day after TGiving? Just what I'll be craving.
(FH -- I think you gotta flip the hotcake when it hits 100 posts. Know what I mean?)
McCain may be a lying sack of shit, but he sure does have some funky dance moves.

That's just bunk. Computer edited bunk! Palin's breasts are a lot larger than than that dancer's (and Palin's allure a lot less, no matter who or what that stand in turns out to be).
Wife? Marriage is for suckers, gina. And gays. Tell you what, why don't you just keep posting your passive-aggressive religio-babble. There. Now that I've told you to do it, when you do, you'll simply be obeying my command. Wow. I feel so all powerful. Like PCReece must feel when he "manipulates" fellow posters into posting what he wants them to. My god, the thrill of it all. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
You just can't leave me alone, can you?
Do you have the hots for me?
And TooSense...I love the idea of marriage. I don't think there could be anything better as long as you were married to the right person. Unfortunately, one doesn't always find out until it's too late that they married the wrong person. Maybe you're just afraid of failure?
Well, turns out the free tbell taco will be available on Oct. 28. Damn. I thought I had the Fers there.

Gina, I'm new here, so I don't know the history, but why spend so much space arguing with people over stuff posted on another blog?
Frankly, because I find Palin so ridiculous, I'm always alert to any sign of intelligent defense of her (gotta test your own assumptions, every day, I always say). Palin's ONLY strong point, far as I can see, is her definite appeal to the anti-abortion (or anti-choice) voter. So here: is that appeal enough for you?
Well, I... I... hmmmmph!
So, gina... how's your marinara? My verification word is 'flareh'. I think it's a sign...
Xoot: Right now I hate politics. I could just puke. I was going to vote for Obama, but then he made me puke after I read about his campaign advisors and Acorn's tricks. For the first time in my life, I'm not voting. That could be a sign....
TooSense: You shameless flirt. I'm an excellent marinara-maker.
Mmmmmmmmmmmm....red meat sauce...I love it with noodles.
