With Gratitude ...
Edited on Sun Sep-07-08 12:50 AM by NanceGreggs
The Republican candidate for the presidency doesn’t know the difference between Sunni and Shia, believes Czechoslovakia still exists, thinks Iraq shares a border with Pakistan, can’t recall how many houses he owns, takes credit for championing bills he actually voted against, doesn’t remember what his past voting has been on major issues, has voted with Bush over ninety percent of the time but insists he’s a “maverick”, has to have people bussed-in from neighboring areas so that his “events” look populated, can’t speak for more than three minutes without consulting “notes”, claims he fully vetted his VP pick when he only met with her for fifteen minutes and none of her associates was ever contacted for comment, dumped the wife who’d waited for his return from Viet Nam when she was disfigured in an accident in order to marry his multi-millionairess mistress, and thinks Americans who complain about job losses, lack of healthcare insurance, foreclosures on their homes and escalating prices are a just bunch of whiners.

Most frequent reason for his inability to answer questions about domestic and/or foreign policy, or offer specifics about his platform: “I was a POW!”


The Republican candidate for the vice presidency is currently under investigation for abusing the power of her office, has consistently been caught lying, believes that victims of rape and incest should be forced to proceed with resultant unwanted pregnancies, thinks abstinence-only sex education is effective (her pregnant teenaged daughter notwithstanding), doesn’t know anything about the situation in Iraq because she “never really thought about it”, has admitted that she doesn’t know what the vice president does, believes that a refuelling stop-over in Ireland constitutes having visited a foreign country, can’t speak without reading every word off the teleprompter, and honestly believes she is capable of assuming the responsibilities of running the nation at a moment’s notice, but isn’t ready to face reporters or be interviewed for several weeks after accepting the nomination.

Most frequent reason for her inability to answer questions about domestic and/or foreign policy, or offer specifics about her platform: “I’m a hockey mom!”

Just wanted to thank the GOP for their outstanding contribution to ensuring a Barrack Obama presidency!

:hi:

Not a POW but a PUCK
and not a Hockey Mom
but a Hockey stick.


They just need a human being to play the game. Ok, not so good

Damn Nance, You have a gift.
