Insightful Article on Sarah Palin

Ill certainly agree with you on that one, although I'm not a real big Lieberman fan and he's from my state. Not to mention he's a flip flopper...[/quote]
Which is another way of saying... traitor... which is another way of saying he can't be
trusted.

Well-done shoe-shine photo. Comedy that plays with our prejudices is tricky. Some people don't get it. This is sort of a double-whammy.
I think a lot of decisions does come down to personal attraction. I remember polls back in 2004 that showed most people would rather have a beer with Bush than Kerry. Now having a beer with Ted Kennedy...now that's another matter.

Looks like Palin's not the only one who hunts beaver.
Back to burning crosses, Ron. I thought you guys spent Sunday afternoon playing the banjo on the porch and goin' down to the dump to shoot rats.

No, we spend our Sundays making fun of goofy, arrogant liberals. In fact we do this every day.

I wonder what will happen to Alaska over the next 8 years if Obama wins and Palin continues to govern.
As far as the argument 'only intelligent' people should be allowed to vote, well, my question is: Who gets to determine who falls within the 'intelligent voter' parameter?Why Mensa ofcourse!

Well, aren't you handy? You know what they say..if the women can't find you handsome they can at least find you handy.
Edit: Actually, this saying comes from the "Red-Green Show". You should know it, it's a Canadian production. I'm sure they have cable in Toronto.

Lame response...
Hey, there's lots more where this comes from... you're like the politician all the editorial cartoonists hope will get into office.
Figured you for a Red-Green guy.
I also went to UCLA and studied in Florence (that's in Italy, Ron.)
Working on the next installment. Sig heil! -
UCLA, Florence....WOW!! Now why the hell did you find it necessary to tell everyone this?
Keep 'em comin', stud.

Since you seem to be obsessed with tracking me down and obviously read a previous post I merely thought it prudent to offer a few more destinations to your itinerary.

Hey do me with Nixon holding his hands high with the peace sign. Put me on Margaret Thatcher's body. As I think of others, I'll inform you.

Guys, chill!
Lets not cross the line.
It's only politics, we cannot change each others views and when it gets too personal it's no longer a debate.

Just goofin' with a goof. I got this one all riled up.

Ron, this is like fighting a duel with a guy who is shooting blanks.
I feel a pointy hat and bedsheets comin', Bubba. -

You've got the pointy hat, now go sit in the corner. -

Hey Solo, I was actually avoiding this redneck bigot until he called me out. Sorry man, but if a racist photo of Obama, or any black person, shining shoes doesn't send a chill through you with respect to where Ron and his kinfolk fit on the food chain then I don't know what will. This is not about rational political debate, it's an insight into a man who degrades all human beings who do not fit within his warped world. Personally, I have about as much regard for him as I do for the minor annoyance of stepping in dog shit.
...Got to admit tho, the Hitler turned out pretty good. Maybe a couple more just for fun...then I'll chill. -

Isnt that a bit hypocritical?

You know, some black people do shine shoes. Some of those shoes belong to white people. It's not racist, it's reality. If the image had depicted Joe shining her shoes, would it have been sexist?

So, akin to remus's question, does this constitute "insight into a man who degrades all human beings who do not fit within his warped world"? Just curious...

EDIT: I'm changing my mind. In case my comment is misunderstood: I took the picture to be playing on our preconceptions of race and racists. I have to admit it was not in good taste. It would be seen as demeaning and hurtful to people who don't deserve it. Not criticizing others here, just reflecting on the picture itself and that it accurately depicts, sadly, what some people believe.
