What color shirts will they choose. Sky blue??Where and when the rally? Certainly not the Washington Monument, the Lincoln, Jefferson Memorials, or the steps of the Capitol Building. Not May 1st, July 4th, July 14th. Perhaps Dubai in season. The new watering hole for the elite.

When do we begin the roundups and the transports of the unworthy to the wilderness of Montana for resettlement into ‘appropriate’ communities?

Sound vaguely familiar?

Seems that the conversation on this website has strayed too far from the madding crowd to claim any legitimacy in its goals for election reform for the benefit of the masses.

Does anyone trust News Corp., CBS, CNN, NBC, Disney, etc. to report political news fairly and without bias?

John McCain promised campaign finance reform but only succeeded in exacerbating the problem.

Of course we’d be better off having exceptional people (ok,the elite)running our government and negotiating with other nations.

And who better to identify and elect those exceptional people than an equally select group of American voters?

Shouldn’t issues of such important be left to individuals with expertise (dare I say, an elite)? Haven’t we learned the past eight years the lesson that it might not be such a great idea to elect someone you want to have a drink with as opposed to who would be a better government executive?

Add up the cost of skates (a new pair about every six months for growing feet!), uniforms, ice time, transportation to games, and you have a VERY EXPENSIVE activity that would strain the budget of many middle-income families.

Basketball, baseball and soccer would more likely be the affordable sports for those families.

Unless, of course, Governor Palin is able to buy skates, uniforms and ice time on EBay.

Hockey mom has a hockey puck of a daughter and daughter has a hockey stick of a boyfriend.

He should have found a different way to ‘score’!

Steve wants to disenfranchise a segment of the population as being unworthy, and McCain has selected a member of same to be his running mate.

Mindboggling to say the least.

They were also pretty concerned about Bill Clinton’s private life but seem to see Sarah Palin’s as off limits.

Do what they say, not what they do.

On this test of judgment, McCain has failed.

As for Palin and her “family values,”…I won’t pass judgment her 17-year-old daughter.

But Palin herself has shown remarkably poor judgment.

She has a four-month old child with Down syndrome, and a pregnant, unmarried 17-year-old daughter.

This is a family in need of a mother, if not a family in crisis. By accepting the nomination, Palin put her family second.

I can’t imagine that the Evangelicals will find that an admirable decision.
