What's Your Favorite "LIPSTICK" color?

lol, I have to be honest, I saw the word lipstick and almost punched the monitor. there have been 6 other threads on the lipstick thing in the last 24 hours. It's nausiating. but, I guess we shouldn't waste time on trivial things like energy, ecomnomy, wars or other silly stuff. Lets worry about important stuff like Palin's hunting or Obama's pig remark, or was it Mccains no,wait it was gore, oops, no it was Cheny....wait IT WAS ALL OF THEM.

The issue of the borders is something that our leader's response to is so illogical that I have no idea what they are really up to, but is not anything good.

Hello WhatsHerName, I share your fatigue with the petty. However, as is typically the case, the spirit of the observation is what is relevant. Let us consider: Sen. Obama warned America that his opposition would denigrate him with petty, prejudicial criticisms. Like the fact that he doesn't look like the faces on our currency and that he has a 'funny' name. Yet, there was no evidence to support that allegation. To date, the issue of racism has been overwhelmingly contained and bantered about within the DNC, culminating with former President Bill Clinton in the N.Carolina primary. There are a few exceptions, i.e. David Duke's extremist statements against Sen. Obama, yet David Duke has run for political office as both a Democrat and a Republican, so it isn't fair to dump him on either party. http://www.nndb.com/people/210/000024138/ As for the 'funny name' charge: John McCain made a very firm statement about the disparaging use of Sen. Obama's middle name on 2/26/08, to the displeasure of some in the GOP. http://embeds.blogs.foxnews.com/2008/02/26/mccain-denounces-anti-obama-remarks-use-of-dems-middle-name/ McCain didn't have to take the 'high road'. In fact, the left-wing, Huffington Post took the opposite stance, and questioned whether Sen. Obama's skin was too thin, concluding that he "needs to address his middle name". http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/02/27/gop-strategist-obama-nee_n_88763.html The convoluted point is that the 'barbs' aren't the meat of the issue. Instead, the 'barbs' are wholly representative. In the case of the lipstick remark(s), there is little doubt that each was intended to be disparaging. Especially in light of last nights news that Sen. Obama may have plagiarized the comments that followed the 'lipstick, pig, fish' remarks from a Washington Post political cartoon, indicating that the verbiage was contrived and not off-the-cuff. Of course, then Sen. Obama threw himself under the bus in the same way that OJ Simpson threw himself under the bus when he penned the book titled "If I Did It". Obama did so by throwing gasoline on the fire when he made the following comment on David Letterman's show. "Keep in mind, technically, had I meant it this way, [Palin] would be the lipstick. The failed policies of John McCain would be the pig, just following the logic of this illogical situation," Obama said. http://wcbstv.com/campaign08/barack.obama.david.2.814491.html So, why does it matter, if it does at all? Because there are many reasons why campaigns prefer this kind of non-issue competition, some honorable though most not. This 'non-issue' tactic is as old as politics, so it is to be expected. Yet, how the 'barbs' are framed, the intensity of the criticism behind the barbs, and the reaction to a 'barb' tactic remain very telling of a candidate, and the type of administration that they would subject us to, if elected. This is best demonstrated by three callers to a local radio show yesterday afternoon, who emphatically declared that they were Hillary supporters who had reluctantly decided to support Obama. Yet, they denounced the spirit of the pig remarks, and shifted their support to McCain/Palin. I only heard about 20 minutes of the show, and in that time heard three women make the assertion. If only one was sincerely yanking her support from Sen. Obama, then that one need be multiplied by some factor representing 'on-the-fence' voters. Any way one looks at it, the spirit of the 'non-issue' remarks appear to be a sincere turn-off to 'likely voters'. And, this type of non-issue has a long history of generating legitimate deal making and deal breaking political campaigns. In particular, one woman was deeply compelling yesterday. She explained that "If Sen. Obama didn't know when to keep his mouth shut ... and didn't know how to frame a criticism without sounding juvenile ... then how might he conduct himself in the international arena ... when the teleprompter is down?" She concluded by declaring that her 10th grade son acted more maturely. As for my preferred shade of lipstick: Well, I'm partial to a Burt's Bees Transparent Pink, and Laetitia's 'Champagne'. Neither of which can hold a candle to the bold shade donned by yesterday's now famous media sow.

being a legal immigrant it is really a sore spot with me when illegals can come in without going through all the channels i had to I love my new country but if you want to live here then begin by following its laws!If you dont like her laws then may i suggest you stay where you are

hi whatshername...they really should get rid of that expression and just talk about the issues at hand. we do have bigger needs to solve.

i feel the same way but we're doing exactly what mccain wants us to do. he wants us to talk about this whole lipstick thing because it will take away from anything his campaighn is doing. it is stupid but what can we do? unfortunately they are the candidates and we are just americans

I think the fact that Obama can't find anything else to talk about says a whole lot. It was a joke, for goodness sakes. Don't they get that? I agree - there are major issues and major problems and lipstick is the last thing that should be discussed by the candidates.

Agreed. I am sick and tired of hearing about lipstick when I rarely wear it. And yes, our country is at war and more men are about to do their ___ tour of duty, and does anyone care? No. Men are still fighting and dying in Iraq, and no one cares. By the way, to those of you who are still supporting this war, shame on you. What the Hell is wrong with you? You can support the troops, but don't you dare say that you are for this war. I have seen way to many people go back and forth to Iraq, and I am tired of it. Our men need to come home.

I don't wear lipstick so I d on't really have a favorite lisptick color. I guess i love seeing a glowing pink lips with women. Happy mylotting.cheers!

Lipstick? What's that? What the next President going to do about: 1. the eroding of our civil rights 2. the economy 3. illegal immigration 4. our foreign policy etc. etc. etc.

I like a shinny brown or pink. I think that would look wonderful on a pig also. And I agree with all your points in politics. You couldn't be more right. But there more worried about making the pig look PRETTY. !

Well at the local mall one day I saw a woman wearing a hot neon green lipstick! Does that count? Oh I see that you are actually talking about putting lipstick on a pig. Well I guess that it all depends on the pig, I mean does the pig really want to wear lipstick? Maybe if it was Spider Pig! As for this other he said this or that, WHATEVER get over it. They both have said it, so what? Are there not more pressing issues with the US of A right now than lipstick??? Apparently the news media would have us believe not.

i dont like lipstick. i always wear carmex. it looks like lipgloss and it keeps my lips nice and smooth
