I think Palin should start the next race right now. No messing around - put the chicken sh*t fellow in a head lock and make him say I give - I realize I'm not qualified but Teddy was dying. So I did the party a favor.

I try to remain free from all the garbage CB but I've got to admit when Sarah was walking around with her little Down's Syndrome Baby on the newscast recently - smiling like a 100% politician and making comments like 'Obama won't kill my baby'

I felt like kicking her teeth in.

Sorry CB - I'd expect about any man 'politician' to stoop to any level but when a woman uses her own little baby for 'politicial agenda' that goes a little too far for me.

Hillary wreaks with 'Political Blood' and I think it stinks.

I guess I'm WRONG to expect something better from them because on the whole I think they have a lot to offer - and women in general don't come across like they are full of political BS. So the more I think about it the more I realize the women in 'Power' are not your average true blooded down to earth regular women who live and think like everyone I know. Instead they are so caught up in the garbage of Politics that they've essentially lost their identity.

Anyway for someone who made such a wonderful 1st impression I've got to admit I have been hugely disappointed. But maybe it's simply 'unavoidable' - I mean maybe you have to be political crap to make it and stay in that world.

Well that my 2 cents

I'm looking forward to a salt and pepper Republican team to roll like a steam roller.

Wow, ya missed the whole subject matter of the article, blinded by hate for Palin. Ya'll need to get over her, she's old news and just another Pol, but Teddy boy wanting to changes they rules back went practically unoticed.

The whole article was for Dems to sack up and quit avoiding all the blame, there's plenty to go around.

Sorry to burst your bubble Steady, but a politician is a politician, your thinking is sexism.

I noticed Teddy - somebody should put a plastic bag over his head so he can experience the agony of suffocation like Mary Jo did. He left that poor girl in an air pocket for nine hours while he went back to his hotel to sober up. The sooner he is no longer sucking air the better. He could have saved her if he wasn't such a worthless coward thinking only of his career.

Why that's how he got his bones to be a leader of the Lib/Dem party, again it shows a lack of character that he blames everyone but himself.

I never read this stuff CB - please don't be offended by that I just glace at the captions once in awhile.

Sorry man - I guess I did sound pretty bad and it's not that I'm sexist at all CB; it's way more that my head is screwed up by what the Media airs and their endeavors to force us to see this person or that in a particular light.

If anything I am the one who whole heartedly has been convinced throughout the years that a 'woman's makeup' would be better suited to be a 'Ruler of the People'. Overall they have numerous features that better suit them as 'Care Givers' and 'Improved Social Interactions'.

So PLEASE know it is because they have such an amazing ability of perception, intuition, and so many other things that I've come to more and more favor one being in charge.

It is not Sarah - I hate. What I hate is using an innocent little baby and highlighting something totally beyond the baby's control as a political scheme.

SO - AS USUAL - I USE THIS SITE FOR THERAPY TO VENT THINGS BECAUSE THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE I CAN BE SO OPEN.

So as I write this I realize what made me so mad was what I interpreted as a VIOLATION of MOTHERHOOD - and I know I have to be WRONG on that because no matter what she is (politician and all) she is a genuine Mother and a woman to boot and I respect both those features.

Ya'll need to get over her, she's old news and just another Pol, but Teddy boy wanting to changes they rules back went practically unoticed.

Oh CB - it is not her; honestly it's what she represents. There are so few women in her position to show the genuine qualities of 'a woman' and when it seemed like she was violating her motherhood role it just hit me wrong.

It's rare something hits me that hard - but I am over it and when I reflect on the way she holds her child and the mother it appears she has been over the years - I OVER REACTED. I fell right into the trap the Newscast was protraying.

The whole article was for Dems to sack up and quit avoiding all the blame, there's plenty to go around.

CB - you're a 'good guy' but I'm just not into it.

Sorry to burst your bubble Steady, but a politician is a politician, your thinking is sexism.

CB

Maybe I am in a way - but it's way more because I see women in general as a hope for something better and I truly believe deep down they are. I wish like anything we could see more of their genuine characterics - a more natural quality of what they represent and less of the 'political garbage'.

Deep down I refuse to believe a politician is a politician - I think some 'good women' are probably the only hope we have and hopefully as more come on the scene things will change.

Thanks for listening - and thanks especially for the feedback

Seems everyone but us has forgotten about that lonely night on or off the bridge...So here is something we both agree on 100%..Well said Birch ;)

No, not everyone has forgotten. There was a lot of media coverage in New England about this. It was the kind of behavior expected of "the Kennedys". We were only waiting for the news that Ms Kopechne was with child. Of course no autopsy was performed and the $91k Kennedy gave the Kopechne family had nothing to do with that.

What I never understood about the Kennedy family's relationship with voters is that all the working class folk talked about the things they got away with and how it was "expected" of self centered rich people. They would always vote to return a Kennedy to office. Even after Chappaquiddick.

The fact Edward Kennedy want's Taxachusetts to change the law so the Governor can appoint his successor is just politics as usual. That's why the law was changed in '04.

So forget Teddy (shoulda been called "Eddie") as he will likely get his way and the law about his replacement will be changed before he dies. Gov Patrick will see to that. When Kennedy dies there will be put up a memorial at Dike Bridge telling the tale of the hero trying to rescue the poor victim. Gov Patrick will see to that.

We are getting off subject. Now the current administration cannot understand why people are questioning "hope and change". Kinda makes you think people out there do have brains.

On to watching the current doings of the current President.

And if you are so inclined, light a candle for Mary Jo Kopechne, her parents and if you wish, Teddy.

Years ago, I may have had some hope that women may have made a diff or at least offer a different POV, (though I am also a sexist/dinosaur), but Pelosi ruined that idea. We have good people, both men and women out there, but they don't want to put up with the media BS and the massive intrusion into their lifes.

That's why as a whole we have a bunch of bench warmers running this country and we can see where that has gotten us and until the people realize what we have running our country, they'll continue to vote in the same nimrods, cause they don't study their background and FREINDS, but just listen to their cheap slogans. "Hope and Change" ring a bell? No substance, just empty words. But it sure sucked in those that didn't look any deeper or that they'd get their gas or mortgage paid. :laugh:

So until the intellectual level of our electorate increases, we'll continue to circle the toilet to socialism, mediocrity or 3rd world status. Don't believe me, wait 'til this inflation hits us in avout 2 to 4 years, but that is way beyond the American's people line of sight.

Maybe I was just brought up differently, but I was always taught it was what a man did that set him apart, not what he said, because as we sure to hell are seeing now, Words are cheap, very cheap and can be changed depending on who the idiot is talking to.

Have a good one. I'm batching this weekend and am about to work my self to death on the farm, since this is the first weekend the weather hasn't been like a sauna, but it's nice to do hard honest work.

And again the subject matter of this whole thread, the Bloomberg Story, was quit passing off the blame and grow a pair. Most Americans will accept someone saying they screwed up, because they respect that, but also have very little to no repect for someone always wanted to blame someone else. Oh BTW, Bloomberg ain't some rag of a site.

See ya, :D

Wow - this is BEAUTIFUL !! CB ~~~~ Thank you !!

I don't think you're sexist at all ~~ much more boils down to both of us perhaps put too much faith in 'Women' or had unrealistic expectations that kind of crashed in on us. For me it was Sarah where for you it was Pelosi.

But the most major and fundamental truth is we do have both 'Good Men and Women' and the blending of the two is the best combination.

but they don't want to put up with the media BS and the massive intrusion into their lifes.
Very TRUE and I doubt I could handle it either ~~ and I would never put myself (or my family) in that situation.

CB

Well I've got to run - But your comments here are the Botton Line and I'd say that is something everyone of us can agree on

Thanks again CB - This is very well expressed and much appreciated

[Birchtree]

Give the girls a chance - Sarah and Conde would be an excellent team.
