It’s about Truck Nutz!
And mooseburgers.
I’m waiting for someone to drop the other shoe, and tell me if this is a “quote out of context.”
It’s totally to be decided by number of years in POW camps, number of teenaged daughters you’ll allow to get impregnated to substantiate your Right to Lifer credentials, and how not a Muslim you are. Cause we’d lose if you’re going to count issues.
Wasn’t Davis the one pushing for Palin to be the Veep? I’m guessing Mr. Davis may end up at the bottom of a lake in Alaska and not come up till next June when it melts..
At least he’s honest.
Not out of context :
“This election is not about issues,” said Davis. “This election is about a composite view of what people take away from these candidates.”
Yet another sign that the GOP are going to make this election as close as they can to 100% about race. Hopey’s race, of course, because the last seven Presidents were all white and they all did such a bang-up job.
He must mean seminal/vaginal “issues” (like babies/baby batter), right? Cause, if not, he’s gotta be shitcanned by tomorrow.
Now *that’s* straight talk.
As for the speech itself, Davis said a generic, “masculine” speech was being prepared before the pick was made and, now that Palin is the choice, she is adapting the speech to her own needs and personality.
Which I’m hoping means TITS.
Duh. It is about keeping an uppity negro out of the White House.
Well hell no it’s not about issues. How do you expect republicans to win on issues? Not very sporting of you!
It will still be a generic, masculine speech, of course, but the candidate will be doing a split beaver as she delivers it.
Ok, then WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
What’s next, “The sheriff is a nigger!” ?????
[re=79311]rev_matt_y[/re]: And you know when the Republicans start getting honest, it means they’re completely out of ammo.
[re=79327]freakishlystrong[/re]: John McCain’s gambling addiction.
From my handy Merriam-Webster dictionary:
Issue
7: a discharge (as of blood) from the body
In the biblical sense, “issue” refers to “offspring,” so I see where they are going with this.
[re=79327]freakishlystrong[/re]: You know, “composite view.”
Like what you see…when you look at Obama…and notice something different about him…
It’s all about the “composite view.”
[re=79332]sanantonerose[/re]: Well, if Sarah gives us the upskirt flash, the election will definitely be about issues.
[re=79332]sanantonerose[/re]: and don’t forget about the four humors.
This election is not about the humors.
Duh.
[re=79323]Lionel Hutz Esq.[/re]: I have to hit refresh more often. Clearly it is about electing the first female vice president no matter how obscure, inexperienced, or venal. As long as it isn’t Hillary Clinton.
It’s the inanity, stupid.
The election is about hurricanes! HURRICANES, people! And the GOP caring about hurricanes!
[re=79337]Delicious[/re]: Ha!
The reason Sarah doesn’t look as pregnant as Demi Moore is that Sarah had a creationist pregnancy. After nine months eating pickles and icecream, the stork brings it.
“Davis demurred when asked when Palin will sit for interviews with major news organizations…..’we’ll get around to it.’” **Translated into non-pol speak, this means, “If you think we’re letting any of the MSM political reporters anywhere near this broad before 5 November, you’re out of your f*cking mind!”
Okay, on with the next thing, like why isn’t Palin’s son Track anywhere to be seen? Is he not a supporter of McCain like the vast majority of other Alaskans?
He has a cute *twinkle* in his eye.
[re=79350]Cogito Ergo Bibo[/re]: Egzactly! They care so danged much that down here in the state that made GWB pres by accident, even the Republican gov (bless his gay lil heart) admits we don’t much bother with the Feds until LOOOOONG after the hurricane since all they are good at is writing checks.
[re=79355]trophy(forparticipation)wife[/re]: See, “He’s in the Army, stooopid!” Not to mention the fact that she’d trot him out in uniform if she could, but she can’t. As might McWalnuts with his two. But there is this pesky thing called the “Hatch Act” that makes that, well, illegal.
[re=79335]Delicious[/re]: Yeah, that’s true, lesse; young, attractive, articulate, intellegent and bla…oh, now I see…
If this Sarah Palin thing was a ploy to divert public attention from McCain’s inability to remember how many houses he owns, it’s worked great.
Issues? I don’t have to show you no stinkin’ issues.
Track is getting ready to be sacrificed in Iraq as a tragic casualty that the GOP will use to gin up sympathy votes for Caribou Barbie. Apparently he has behavioral issues and she’s put a hit out on him.
this is bewildering even coming from a republican!
[re=79365]WadISay[/re]: Yeah, with all the genuine scandals it’s mostly been overlooked that she and The Dude have 3 houses.
[re=79360]shoeho[/re]: but didn’t biden do it with his son? confused… (not unusual)
Why do the issues hate America?
New cover or US Weekly is Caribou Barbie under the headline “Babies, Lies, and Scandals.”
[re=79300]cal[/re]: “Mooseburgers” is now my favorite quasi-swear word.
Mitten’s isn’t running? Aww mooseburgers!
“Who’s ready on day one to be president of the United States? Nobody is.” – House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) said yesterday, defending Palin.
Hahaha. What about “Ready on Day One”? http://www.johnmccain.com/about/
[re=79379]Vanity Smurf[/re]: Thanks for that. There is also a headline there that says:
Lindsay Lohan Calls Bristol Palin Teen Pregnancy “Distracting”
You know, I think tonight I am going to shoot heroin, drink a quart of whisky, have a hamburger, and sleep with a prostitute because it is clear that I am having a nightmare and I might as well enjoy myself before I wake up.
I would totally have a beer with Sarah’s vagina. Let’s elect her.
[re=79384]ms_mcgee[/re]: George Bush has been doing it seven-and-a-half years and hasn’t got the hang of it.
[re=79372]whatever_dc[/re]: Biden’s son is in the Deleware GUARD which is a different kettle of fish. A member of the NG or military reserves is only officially IN the actual military (for these purposes) when on orders. There is no problem with someone in the Guard or Reserves being in politics as long as they don’t wear their uniform at political events. Some members of Congress have actually been serving members of Guard/Reserves while holding office. Both the GILF’s and Walnut’s kids are on active duty in the “full time” military, iirc.
Jim, I don’t mind the side panels Redbrand advertising, it’s the color that bothers me.
McCain told me it reminds him of a Victorian bordello.
They prayed for rain and in turn it was a shit storm. God apparently hit the wrong convention.
On NPR Rick Santorum just said he is going to stick a fire hose in Sarah Palin if she wins.
Clearly Caribou Barbie is Ready On Day One To Be President…
…of an independent Republic of Alaska.
Friend of mine just heard Ricky Santorum talking about how Sarah Palin’s going to learn all about foreign policy experience on the job, and the quote was very very close to “She’s about to get fed with a firehose in the mouth.”
[re=79387]spencer[/re]: We can now move forward as a nation.
Let the healing begin.
[re=79400]spencer[/re]: “On NPR Rick Santorum just said he is going to stick a fire hose in Sarah Palin if she wins.”
Can I just say at this point that I am overjoyed that Rick Santorum’s name will go down in history as this?
And secondly, if Rick thinks his junk is comparable to a fire hose, he’s been grievously misinformed. More like a leaky white Tootsie Roll.
It should actually be about Cindy McCain’s hard drug problem. Imagine if Hillary was popin oxycontin?
It should be about John McCain’s affairs, including the one with Cindy Lou McCain.
It should be about why we only see one of John McCain’s kids. And where in bedazzled Hesus’ name is the adopted black/Sri Lankan kid? Why aren’t his kids supporting him? He can’t manage his house, he can manage the white house?
It should be about John McCain’s bad judgment in leaving his almost paralyzed wife for the Beer Whore.
It should be about John McCain having no background education in Politics, law, economics or any field other than him getting into the Senate because of his father-in-law’s money and the fact that he was a pow. And all the experience shit doesn’t mean anything when you have been on the Senate floor for a quarter of a century and don’t know the difference between Shi’ite and Sunni or that Czechoslovakia is no longer a country..
He’s right, if it were about issues, Grandpa Walnuts wouldn’t even be in this race. But it is about Race and FEAR. Fear of a group of people that just want to live the American dream like the next guy! So if we Fear Barack Obama, what does that say about our pathetic Democracy? It only works if you are a straight (?) white Protestant male! tsk tsk tsk…
Come on, November!
Be Afraid – be VERY afraid
Speaking before the Pentecostal church, Palin painted the current war in Iraq as a messianic affair in which the United States could act out the will of the Lord.
“Pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right. Also, for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending [U.S. soldiers] out on a task that is from God,” she exhorted the congregants. “That’s what we have to make sure that we’re praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God’s plan.”
I’m gonna puQe. What is it with pink WonkTheme? Is this in honor of Sarah Pulin-Our-Chain? What I’ve heard today: (1) Palin is qualified because “she has executive experience.” (2) The Palin choice reflects the Repugnantcan demented world-view as…because she has a kid with Downs…she should be taking care of the kid not running around the nation campaigning and how’s that for Repub “family-values?”. (3) The pregnant 17-year old daughter proves Palin’s Abstention program don’t work too well. The Palin choice kills the “Repub “no-experience” mantra (unless one subscribes to item #1). And that was only on the Diane Rehem show. Yadda yadda yadda. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD MAN…stick this pink POS nightmare up WalNutz’s tight elite ass where it belongs and give us a sane, dignified, website scheme! /barf
[re=79408]Slutty_Chola_Cobbler[/re]: Well…yeah, of course it is! I’ve been wondering if JSM’s three oldest kids (2 adopted, one bio) from marriage one will show up on acceptance night for the sake of family unity…ah, I mean their mom’s medical bills.
Rick Santorum’s audio about the firehose in Palin’s mouth will be here at 7pm eastern time:
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=94194824
[re=79409]Fun-filled[/re]: If I were the Obama campaign, I’d take some of that money they’ve been fund raising and sending Jeremiah Wright to Bermuda for a few months or so ’cause he’s the only thing that could blow the election. Well, that and the wisdom and judgement of the American People.
Call me crazy, but why didn’t Palin get the chance to be fed by this magic “firehose” BEFORE she was picked to be second-in-command of the free world? Granted, her state is closest to Russia (meaning she’s a closeted foreign affairs guru), but Barry was born in Hawaii (closest to Japan) which is why he’s so darned uppity-smart about economics.
Yikes.
[re=79394]shoeho[/re]: oic…thanks for splainin to me. it makes sense (sort of).
This blog is not about seriousness.
[re=79413]Rush[/re]: Wow — I found the article you quoted from on HuffPo, and it seems Governor Palin has her own Pastor Wright:
But Pastor Kalnins has also preached that critics of President Bush will be banished to hell; questioned whether people who voted for Sen. John Kerry in 2004 would be accepted to heaven; charged that the 9/11 terrorist attacks and war in Iraq were part of a war “contending for your faith;” and said that Jesus “operated from that position of war mode.”

[re=79407]Tybalt[/re]: that made my day!
after santorum lost his re-election attempt i phoned his office and asked if they needed any help packing. his staff was not amused! i was tho!!!
Composites. Hah!
John McCain is old. (McAged)
Barack Obama plays basketball. (Hoopy)
Joe Biden talks a lot. (Joehard)
Sarah Palin has babies. (Babycuda)
What more do you need to know?
I thought conservatives stood for Fiscal Responsibility, Small Government, Non Interventionist Foreign Policy. According Rickyboy, it looks like they stand for world domination at any cost and a crazy religious platform.
[re=79329]Vanity Smurf[/re]: No, more like, “Up your’s N*gger”
Or “One move and the n*gger gets it”
of Course, Obama has already pretty much said, “to tell a family secret, my grandmother was Dutch”.
(for those out of the know, Blazing Saddles quotes)
No election is about issues, unless it’s about starvation or war. Moreover, they are never ever about people saying they are or are not about issues. To wit:
