Palin sends the cringe meter off the dial

[independent_uk]

 No one will be more relieved than John McCain if a major crisis erupts on Thursday to overshadow the debate between the vice-presidential candidates, Sarah Palin and Joe Biden.

Alaska's one-term governor is hugely popular with voters, but she is also a liability for the Republican ticket, as her painful-to-watch interview last week with Katie

You know, I'm tired of silly games...

Yes, just like you are all right to life about abortion, yet have no respect for Iraqi lives. Killing their babies that are already born in the name of "collateral damage" is okay, but a mother deciding not to give birth to an orphan because the act of giving birth will kill her... not so much.

What does this have to do with what I said about church and state?

And, on your continuing insistence that it is "theft" to redistribute the ill gotten gains of certain corporations and CEOs... Is it theft if they stole it in the first place, and did it in the same way you accuse Barak Obama of "stealing" it from them?

What does this have to do with what I said about church and state?

When you pad your successes and cook your books (like a lot of the folks at Fannie May and Freddie Mac did) in order to make yourself look good to get your millions in bonuses, that is not only lying, it is essentially STEALING in my mind. That's why so many of the ENRON folks went to jail.

Even McCain is talking about corporate greed, and you can't see it? Yeah, all corporate CEOs are hard working guys who earned it. Uh huh. They may not all be greed mongers, but they are certainly not all innocent either.

If you want to play games feel free to talk to yourself.

"What does this have to do with what I said about church and state?"

It has to do with your use of abortion as an example of being on both sides of the fence about something (in this case, you were talking about separation of church and state and you used abortion as part of the example... I expanded your example out to the dual stance taken on right to life).

The rest of what I said has nothing to do with what you said about church and state... as evidenced in my language: "And, on your continuing insistence that it is "theft" to redistribute...". Sorry you didn't see the change in topic clearly enough, but I'm not sure how that means I am "playing silly games". Though I agree, and had to remind myself of what I said yesterday... talking to you is really a lot like talking to myself and I should refrain from doing it no matter how tempting I find it to want to correct what I see as glaring fallacy on your part.

Won't happen again. Promise.

Works for me. Talking to you has been... less than enlightening for me. Take care now. Ta ta.

[pennyann]

A number of times my posts here have been responded to with the words "excellent post" or "really good point!", so that it has not been enlightening for you does not bother me one whit. You would not really read what I had to say with the possibility of being enlightened anyway, your blinders are on and your mind is made up. You have already decided to argue against what most people have to say using any of the same old things I've heard Rush, Hannity or Michael Savage say a thousand times. No, I'm not surprised you are not enlightened.

Best of luck to you anyway, I'm sure there are plenty of other people here to nitpick semantics with... so you will have your fill without me. You take care too!

Don't pat yourself on the back too hard, there!

You're in a liberal echo chamber, of course you hear comforting words about how wonderful you are.
