What Does a BEAUTY PATEANT Have to Do With Politics???

anniepa @anniepa (27955) • United States 14 May 09

Seriously, why would I start a discussion about the much maligned Miss California in the politics interest? I know that question is coming so I thought I'd address it preemptively. I apologize for answering a question with another...

ElaanR2 Miss California had a right to free speech and she exercised it. Perez Hilton has a right to free speech and he exercises it. The media has a right to publish whatever they consider to be news and they exercise it. The people have a right to condemn whatever...

I am sick of it already! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

dloveli @dloveli (4366) • United States 10 Oct 08

I dont know about all of you, but I am so SICK of hearing about namecalling and mudslinging. Are people aware of what public office entails. Why is this so shocking to people that the candidates would resort to negative smear...

ElaanR2 When McCain's first negative ads hit the markets, it was here on mylot that many conservatives defended it, saying it was fair game. They apparently thought Obama was going dismiss the negative ads section of the campaign as a spectator sport. As Obama...

McCain's OWN Domestic Terrorist Associations!

anniepa @anniepa (27955) • United States 11 Oct 08

Of course we've all heard about Obama and his "pallin' around with a terrorist" from none other than Sarah Palin, but for some reason neither she nor John McCain ever mention McCain's own terrorist associations, in his case not...

ElaanR2 I hope people posting under politics will just plain ignore kennyrose. She has a right to say what she likes and most of the time it's just trash. Just ignore her and continue with those who are more serious. Having said that, I wonder why nobody has mentioned...

I HATE them both!!!!! Anyone else?

dloveli @dloveli (4366) • United States 10 Oct 08

In this election the only thing that I am sure of is that neither candidate impresses me greatly. I think Obama would be a good choice if he wasnt so busy playing the issues. By this I mean the race issue and the victim issue. He...

ElaanR2 Unlike you, I like them both. What I hate, however, is the politics that plays on ignorance. When a community is under stress, playing on ignorance can have terrible consequences. In 1914, a student shot Prince Ferdinand in Sarajevo and the whole world went to...

I Wonder What Would Be The Response If McCain Had Friends Like Obama Does?

gewcew23 @gewcew23 (8007) • United States 8 Oct 08

In November of 1970 Bill Ayers' wife Bernardine Dohrn almost killed a nine year old boy when she bomb the house of his parents. The nine year old boy was John Murtagh and his father was a judge presiding over a trial of the Black...

ElaanR2 These things you were talking about happened at a time when they were not called 'terrorism'. Furthermore, the only reason why Christians would shun the company of a person who has been punished for a crime is if they are hypocrites and not true Christians. As...

Do you think Sarah Palin's 'mudslinging' is cheap and uncultured behaviour?

bugbaby @bugbaby (1787) • Indonesia 6 Oct 08

Absolutely! She's giving soccer moms a bad reputation.

ElaanR2 I am watching very patiently as the McCain camp, once again, tries to clutch at a straw to jump up in the polls. Having seen better days in the number of years he has had the grace to live, one would think that McCain would try to leave a better, united...

Sarah Palin's Interview With Katie Couric

anniepa @anniepa (27955) • United States 26 Sep 08

I'm sure by now many of you have seen at least part of Katie Couric's interviews with sarah Palin. There have been two parts aired so far with a third yet to come, as I understand it. Here's a portion of the part that aired last...

ElaanR2 I honestly thought the statement about Alaska's proximity to Russia giving her foreign policy experience was an extreme liberal insult to her. It was during this interview that I realized she actually made the statement.

Under Palin, Wasilla charge rape victims for medical exams

4magoo @4magoo (396) 22 Sep 08

It has come out that while Palin was the mayor of Wasilla the city charged rape victims for their own medical exams. The article claims that eight years ago, complaints about charging rape victims for medical exams in Wasilla...

ElaanR2 There's no evidence that Sarah Palin knew about the problem. However, the fact that the Commissioner of public safety was fired, among other things, for seeking money from Washington for something related to violence against women raises eyebrows. The...

ElaanR2 I'm glad she left the Democratic Party. Her action does not diminish the democratic process in America. It rather strengthens it. She is one vote Obama doesn't need. Let her go and give McCain money to buy more cars from overseas.

Where's Carly Fiorina?

anniepa @anniepa (27955) • United States 18 Sep 08

Has one of the McCain campaign's most visible surrogates, Carly Fiorina, been banished from the airwaves, disappearing over what some have called a "Biden-like" comment? (Note, this isn't my opinion, I know Joe Biden is said to...

ElaanR2 What Fiorina said is the truth. Neither of the two presidential candidates nor their running mates have ran a corporation before. It would be unfortunate if the McCain campaign pulls her out for her statement. Don't forget they ran an ad that claimed that...

Obama says Palin's family off-limits

Taskr36 @Taskr36 (13963) • United States 1 Sep 08

So why is it that a man with the decency to take the high road on this has so many followers that are eager to take the low road? It really disgusts me that so many liberals on mylot now see this as their golden opportunity to...

ElaanR2 I have reached 130 posts here on mylot and none of my posts has ever attacked John McCain. I make it a point to attack the supporters directly because I believe that McCain would never condone some of the things said here about Obama. The mudslinging always...

Of all the sleazy filth from the Democrat Underground...

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 1 Sep 08

The hate mongers at the Democrat Underground have reached a new low. They floated rumors that Sarah Palin's 5 month old baby is actually her grandchild, actually born to Palin's teenage daughter Bristol Palin. But, as usual,...

What do you think of John McCain's running mate ?

Bluepatch @Bluepatch (2476) • Trinidad And Tobago 1 Sep 08

ElaanR2 She may be good for the job but I think the way she was selected is not a mark of good leadership. A leader thinks through decisions. For the past eight years, Americans have seen a government that makes decisions that are not well thought out and see where it...

How do you decide where to draw the line for appropriate discussion at work?

I just started teaching in a new elementary school a couple weeks ago. I live in the same small town, and am used to the majority of people here being very conservative. Being quite liberal, I try not to step on too many toes...

ElaanR2 The reason why so many people were at Invesco Field to see Obama on the last day of the Democratic Convention is because too many of them have been treated like the way you described and have, therefore, become tired and bored with politics. The change that...

Has Anyone Else Here Heard McCain Was a POW???

anniepa @anniepa (27955) • United States 26 Aug 08

I'm not sure if it's just a rumor that's been kept rather quiet or not but I've been hearing some whispers that GOP Presidential nominee John McCain was a POW decades ago. I've also heard that McCain has stated he didn't want to...

ElaanR2 That, certainly, makes him a celebrity. We won't deny him that. Not in the manner in which he wants to follow stereotype and link Obama's success to the success of a basketball player or entertainer, indirectly suggesting that black people only succeed when...
