I don't disagree with your thought about mothers but I've seen too many Dem candidates nicked or torpedoed by earnest and well meaning supporters. Right now we need to do one thing: Get Obama elected." <BR/>WTF?? Yes, by all means lets just shut up about the truth. I don't care about what the "typical Democrat thing" might be, whatever that is. I NEVER hear a damn thing about the sisters, mothers, and daughters who have died in Iraq. It's ALWAYS the sons, or the husbands, or the fathers. Not discussing it does not make it disappear and I sincerely doubt if it would affect Obama's electability on any level. Why would it be so objectionable if the candidates simply recognized the fact that some of our military personnel happen to be women? <BR/><BR/>I also don't hear enough about the military women (and Iraqi women) who have been raped and murdered by members of the US military and their deaths subsequently covered up by military brass. <BR/><BR/>It seems that there are individuals who have convinced themselves that they are Democrats or progressives, or feminists, etc., when they are anything but. Palin is the living, breathing antithesis of feminism. (For the record, I don't do the "C" word, having had it thrown in my face on a few occasions, and by a woman no less.)<BR/><BR/>And Chris, have your friend read Matt Taibbi's latest piece: <BR/> <BR/>"The Scariest thing about Sarah Palin isn't how unqualified she is - it's what her Candidacy says about America"<BR/>http://www.smirkingchimp.com/thread/17504Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983386.post-46096832210142027232008-09-28T09:27:00.000-05:002008-09-28T09:27:00.000-05:00And of course Obama won.

I agree with a lot of individual points, like Kelly's, but... <BR/><BR/>I just saw my first McCain add that reinforces my view that Obama lost LOTS of points due to passivity: The add rattled off several of the dozen or so instances when Obama told JMac he was "absolutely right" on different issues. Combine those lapses with the missed opportunities to call McShame out on his lack of support for troops in the field and veterans' programs (to blow a HUGE hole in his Hero myth) and the only thing missing was the golden platter with Obama's head on it.<BR/><BR/>I wish I didn't have to disagree, because McStain and Palin are both crazier than shithouse rats, but I must.Chris in Seattlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16222544865765583990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983386.post-44595938112620227062008-09-28T01:09:00.000-05:002008-09-28T01:09:00.000-05:00I disagree on one thing - I don't think we learned...I disagree on one thing - I don't think we learned anything from the debate.

Just the visual made him look like the village idiot next to Obama. Maybe someone should have told him that a debate is not in fact a contest to see who can lie with the most rudeness. Or that you can't condescend from on low. "You just don't understand..." Sorry Johnny, but the evidence is against you on that one.

I appreciate the intensity of your comments Blue Gal. This is a very important election, and as Huffpo said, if Palin (and McCain, who apparently has skin cancer, and might not live two to four more years) are elected, this could well be the last free election that the U.S. has.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983386.post-4396338996967514062008-09-27T15:35:00.000-05:002008-09-27T15:35:00.000-05:00I agree that looked very Senatorial. and I agree w...I agree that looked very Senatorial. and I agree with Chris and the C word thing....Kuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04397373405982899262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983386.post-26535046324186802502008-09-27T13:10:00.000-05:002008-09-27T13:10:00.000-05:00yeah, that's 1 word i don't use. personal reasons,...yeah, that's 1 word i don't use. personal reasons, but anyone that is voting because palin has ovaries is an ass and no friend of the human race because this election is that important and affects everyone in the world, not just us.Sherry Pasquarellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06107407102753464356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983386.post-18667917940369909702008-09-27T12:59:00.000-05:002008-09-27T12:59:00.000-05:00A small aside: I don't use the "C" word that Miste...A small aside: I don't use the "C" word that Mister McCain used on his wife on at least one occasion, but if I did, I would reserve it for people who call themselves feminists and then say supporting McCain/Palin proves that. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Ditto.
