    I laughed my head off this morning when I read this. I think that message is loud and clear. I guess that fly over with Palin must have inspired some resolve in Crist.

    Truth -- you ain't never lied.

    That is what I got from that as well.

    Shoot, ol' Charlie was in the closet, and got a beard (wife) in order of anticipating he'd get the nod as McCain's running mate.

    McCain shat on him, and he's now tied to a woman he doesn't love because he's allegedly in the closet.

    Hah...I thought that too. Serves him right.

    "The last one is really dumb because if her ex brother-in-law is unemployed, who the hell is going to pay her sister alimony and child support? "

    and that CPL is the crux of it all. I don't get it. She is so stubborn she would rather cut off her nose to spite her face even if it will negatively impact her sister's child.

    She's not worried about the money. There's plenty of those oil company payoffs to go around...
  • CPL · 1 year ago
    Unless she plans on supporting her sister with that money, and she's too selfish for that...
  • Teacher · 1 year ago
    She has her own growing family, plus her daughter & possible son-in-law have no visable means of support. His mom didn't look like she had the $ to support them. It is starting to get cold there now. Fishing & pipeline building season are over until May 2009. Maybe the young man will join his dad-in-law's snowmobile team. I'm sure she has some connections for his non-high school graduate a**. He could be working on his GED, but that won't pay the rent.

    "After all of these developments, if I were John McCain, I’d think strongly about suspending my campaign, figure out how to bow out with whatever dignity I had left, and join Charlie Crist at DisneyWorld".


    ROTFLMAO!!!!!! CPL, You're too funny!

    Palin is using her children as props. Where is Michelle Malkin now? Malkin questioned whether is was good for the "children" when the Obamas had their daughters join them in one interview. Palin trots her kids out in public constantly. According to tpmcafe.talkingpoints.memo.com I also heard about her fundraiser comments reported today a couple of times on CNN.

    "Sarah Palin Intentionally Used Daughter Piper to Sheild Her From Boos
    By Bademus - October 12, 2008, 2:26AM

    Tonight Sarah Palin tossed out the first puck at the home opener for the Philadelphia Flyers hockey team. When she was announced there were resounding boos from the crowd. Fox news (of all places) reports that at a fundraiser earlier in the day she said she knew there would be boos so she would bring Piper, her 7 year old daughter, with her to stifle them. Apparently it worked fairly well. If you watch the video of it you can hear the boos when she is first announced but immediately afterward her daughter was announced and walked out and the boos quieted. A quote from the Fox news post:

    A carpet was laid down and Palin, dressed in a beige trench, walked on to the ice joined by her daughters Willow and Piper. The GOP Vice-Presidential nominee said at an earlier fundraiser that she would stop some of the booing from the rowdy Philadelphia fans by putting her seven year old daughter, Piper in a Flyers jersey. She said, “How dare they boo Piper!”

    Hey, she's just putting the Cindy McCain Doctrine into effect.

    They want to win by any means necessary, even if it means sacrificing your kid's dignity along with your own...

    The Philadelphia Fyers fans message to Pale-in:

    HEY SARAH, MAKE LIKE A HOCKEY STICK AND GET THE PUCK OUT OF HERE!!!

    Gov. Crist is still hurt over not being picked for the VP slot. McCain took advantage of him during the primary season.
  • msmartin · 1 year ago
    Is he still getting married.
  • rikyrah · 1 year ago
    sure, as soon as Clay Aiken marries his Baby Mama
  • CPL · 1 year ago
    ROFLMAO at that one.

    Rikyrah, you are sooooo wrong for that one!
  • CPL · 1 year ago
    Clay just came out the closet, so I don't think he's going to be tying the knot with anybody unless it's Lance Bass or Ryan Seacrest.

    MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) - A date's been set.
    Governor Charlie Crist said Friday that he and Carole Rome will
    tie the knot December 12 in St. Petersburg. He didn't give any
    further details.
    The couple got engaged July 3. Crist met Rome less than a year
    ago.
    Rumors have swirled that Crist is among the contenders as
    Senator John McCain's running mate on the Republican ticket. Crist
    said he and his fiancee have not talked about the possibility of
    moving to Washington if he's tapped.

    If McCain loses, it'll be interesting to see if Levi and Piper Palin actually tie the knot.
  • Town · 1 year ago
    If that happened Levi would be going straight to jail. LOL

    This seems to be an ongoing trend with the Republicans. In the last few months we have seen the following:

    Washington State Republicans Running Away from Party Label
    http://www.majorityrules.org/blog/2008/07/washi...
    Instead of running as Republicans they are running as GOP Party.

    Republicans run as Greens
    http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/2008/10/...
    Here they are claiming to be part of the Green Party yet refuse to meet with Green Party leaders.

    Norm Coleman Shuns John McCain; Refuses Joint Appearance
    http://voices.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2008...

    Close to me there is an Assemblyman Greg Aghazarian who calls himself an Independent voice in his television ads. Of course when you look at what he is, you guessed it, he's a Republican. These guys are like rats running from a sinking ship.
  • ochyming · 1 year ago
    So you are all assuming [as Obama seems to believe] that the Majority of your compatriots are mature enough NOT to back up those two crass?

    I hope you are right.

    At the rate McCain and Palin are going, the only states they'll take in November are Alaska and Arizona. This is just too wild to make up!
  • Miranda · 1 year ago
    Alaska and Arizona are now considered "battleground" states....LOL

    did you guys see that post on cnn? this tri.. i mean lady is talking about Good guys and bad guys and she says nothing but terrorists. she says the word terrorists at least 15 times. shes doing what bush did scaring the hell outta people to get their support. and we all know scared white people are..

    ST. CLAIRSVILLE, Ohio (CNN) — At a campaign rally designed to reflect the pastoral beauty of the heartland in autumn — with a stage set up in a red barn overlooking a sweeping field and piles of pumpkins — Sarah Palin warned the audience about the threat of terrorism, and explained that the Republican ticket should be elected because “we know who the bad guys are.”

    “Help me, Ohio, to help put John McCain in the White House,” she said. “He understands. He understands you. We understand how important it is that this team be elected. For one thing, we know who the bad guys are, OK?”

    That statement elicited scattered shouts of “Obama!” throughout the crowd.

    “We know that in the war, it’s terrorists, terrorists who hate America and her allies and would seek to destroy us, and the bad guys are those who would support and sympathize with the terrorists,” she said. “They do not like America because of what we stand for. Liberty. Freedom. Equal rights. Those who sympathize and support those terrorists who would seek to destroy all that it is that we value, those are the bad guys, OK?”

    Was Palin suggesting that Barack Obama and Joe Biden don’t understand the terrorist threat? Who exactly were the “bad guys” Palin was referring to? A spokesperson for the campaign would only say that the governor was describing “nations that sympathize with terrorists, period.”

    The vice presidential nominee pressed on and pointed the finger at more bad guys — the “greedy and corrupt and arrogant” mavens of Wall Street and Washington who, she said, have pushed the nation’s economy to the brink.

    “We know who the good guys are, and it is you, and we will fight for you, and we will put government on your side,” she promised. “We will end the arrogant and the selfish practices of Washington and of Wall Street because your United States government is to be of the people, by the people, for the people.”

    In her remarks, Palin also appeared to acknowledge the snow-balling narrative that Republican rallies have grown increasingly hostile and angry in the waning weeks of the campaign, echoing weekend remarks by McCain himself.

    “All across America, I know that there’s a lot of anger right now,” she said. “There’s anger about the insider dealing of lobbyists and anger at the greed of Wall Street, and anger about the arrogance of the Washington elite. And with serious reforms to change Washington, John McCain is going to turn your anger into action.”

    Crist has been exposed to too 'much sun. Clearly sun struck, a joker of no mean order!

    McCain’s own Republican Leadership is calling him out for running a piss-poor campaign, and showing arrogance, hubris, lack of judgement and being less than the promoted “Maverick” by putting Sarah Palin on the ticket. Check.

    Problem is, he's just being the Real McCain. I guess it's a testament to the good-hearted nature of the American people, that they have long wanted to believe the myth over the truth. We just prefer to look at the positive, which means that McCain had to work really hard to overcome that and force us to see him for what he is.

    On another (happy, schadenfreudey note) How tragic ~ and hysterical, for those of us aligned with the opposition ~ that his own party members don't want to be seen with him.

    For Charlie Crist, though, Disney World was kind of a let down. Though he'd hoped to see all the Disney characters, he was broken hearted to find out that Goofy and Dopey have been missing since June. It appears they've been running the McCain camp for the last six months.

  • babyming · 1 year ago
    My only concern is that the lunatic "Republican base" voters will actually turn out in droves on November 4, energized by McCain / Palin's descent into hate speech. Let's hope that people who are for Obama actually get out of the house and into the voting booth on Nov. 4!
