since she is pregnant. You are being very bullish today, I'm disappointed.

10. Does Palin have dentures? I ask because she has this verbal tic
of clicking her tongue against the roof of her mouth.. (kind of a "tch tch" sound.) She either does it for emphasis and it comes of sounding schoolmarmish.. or she's sucking her tongue against dentures. .

Edited on Mon Sep-29-08 11:20 AM by Hepburn
...he looks like death warmed over and there is now a noticable crease and indent on the left side of his face. There is something VERY wrong looking with the shape of his chin and face ~~ really noticable today.

Edit for typo.

26. You know what I think it is? He's trying too hard, at his age, to show youthfulness
and it comes across all wrong. Sorry, but ya can't fake youthful energy. Unfortunately, Im starting to learn that myself.

Maybe they can stop in at Schmidt's Sausage Haus after the rally. I hear John's a regular there.

32. I thought he wasn't going to politicize the bailout
So, the reason he went to Warshington was to rescue America and tell the American people that Obama was only "monitoring" the situation.

46. I loved when his campaign said he doesn't need to be in DC to help with the bailout.
Edited on Mon Sep-29-08 11:33 AM by Schulzz
That was yesterday.
So let me get this right. He tells Bush to summon Obama to a meeting, because their presence is requiered for the bailout. Obama thinks it's better for them to stay away from DC and was on the phone with DC the whole week. After his photo-up stunt fails he nows says phoning with DC is enough. And even more, he blames OBAMA for policizing the bailout?
How stupid does he think we are? :wtf:

Edited on Mon Sep-29-08 11:26 AM by ladeyday
All they;re interested in is keeping the race tight in order to keep folks looking. My volume is off while I wait for the Palin/McCain team to get off the screen. I wondered where Obama is; heard no mention of what e was doing today. Probably the intention is to pay more attention to losers.

Why not? The media is STILL claiming Palin got 60,000 people at a rally in FL when it was really about 20,000 at the most.

49. "On Friday, did you hear Senator Obama say Victory ONCE in that debate?"
in regards to Iraq....

We're more concerned that YOU "my friend" didnt say MIDDLE CLASS ONCE....

Our troops have already "won" in Iraq...

Thank God that speech is over...part of me wants to say...ya know what, old man...win in November...and then when we're all broke, out of work, lost our homes, STILL in a war, etc etc etc...then maybe some ppl will see! Ugh...my blood pressure cant take this shit.... :mad:

50. They showed the ENTIRE rally. Let's see if they do the same for Obama's at 1:30 today.
I can't call and complain to MSNBC since I just called back and said I'm done watching them since they showed McCain's entire rally, so I guess I'll have to call and complain to CNN if THEY don't show the entire thing.

I am THRILLED that the media is covering it. People who are undecided will hopefully see it and think, "REALLY?? That same speech AGAIN?" It just emphasizes that she's got nothing to offer.
