The President needs to STOP using our military to try and improve his image. He is fooling no one, least of all the military.

There's no sense in trying to explain anything I've said since several seem to know my intent better than I do.

For the record, I have NO problem with a conservative woman in politics. For the record, I also thought the Newsweek cover photo was uncalled for. For the record, I don't base my support of ANY candidate on whether or not they support abortion.

As far as media repeating lies over and over - depends on your political leaning. I find some of what I consider 'lies' being repeated daily, i.e. health reform will bring death panels, euthanasia, abortions, ruin Medicare, cover illegal aliens, etc. Doesn't matter what anyone says to disagree, these comments are still made daily. For my own fill of 'snarky' comments, I can always turn to Fox (We report, you decide) News.

And, God forbid the President show respect for the military because it's never going to be seen as genuine by the anti-Obama crowd. If he didn't show respect for them, he would be lambasted just as hard.

Of course he's been photographed with his daughters. He's a fucking father! I happen to think that Ms. Palin uses her child as a prop when she visits pro-life rallies to show how heroic she was not to have aborted this beautiful child. And I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THAT! But call that what it is, too.

Every politician in this country uses whatever props and sound bites they can to get support and elected.

But as I said, this is enough for me. I'm actually having a nice dinner party with a mix of my friends tomorrow night where we can discuss politely and with respect the day's issues.

I hope everyone has a very Happy Holiday Season. I'll probably miss this board one of these days.

"It wasn't meant to be a blow - low or otherwise."

or

"I happen to think that Ms. Palin uses her child as a prop when she visits pro-life rallies to show how heroic she was not to have aborted this beautiful child."

Your first post was meant to illustrate how touchy Muppy is... and your comment was totally innocent. Your second to show....?..... how unreasonable I am? How Sarah only had her baby for political expediency? How horrible she is to travel with her small child?

Maybe you can discuss this hypocrisy with your mixed group of polite, respectful, reasonable friends.

Gov Palin DOES use Trig as a prop. i don't know about *pro-life rallies". I've never seen her at one. But i did see her at Sam's.

signin' books.

Trig. That poor lil shivverin cold confused baby. Here ya go, got the photo. Now you take him back on the bus, and I'll see ya at the next airport.

Poor Sarah, damned if she don't stay home and raise the children, damned if she do pursue her career and tote Trig on her hip.

Don't post on the political board if you must, but I agree with you on most issues of the day, and I don't want to lose track of you! will you send me your email address, please?

Both MSNBC and Fox are not news channels, they are opinion channels. But I like Rachel Maddow.

i get my news from Jon Stewart.
