To answer your absurdities: Crayons said: "Like it is a warrant for him to say whatever he wants and no one can disagree ’cause he was a prisonner of war" I say: Anyone is free to disagree. A Comparison: The media cannot get enough of the "Saturday Night Live" impersonations of Palin as a bubblehead. News shows pick up the Tina Fey clips and run them and run them to the merriment of all. Can one imagine "Saturday Night Live" doing weekly send-ups of Michelle Obama and her "I've never been proud" of my country, this "just downright mean" America, using a black comedienne to mimic and mock her voice and accent? "Saturday Night Live" would be facing hate-crime charges. How do we know? When the New Yorker ran a cartoon of Michelle in an Angela-Davis afro with an AK-47 slung over her shoulder, New Yorker editors had to go on national television to swear they were not mocking Michelle, but the conservatives who have so caricatured Michelle and the Messiah. Is there a media double standard? You betcha. Crayons said: "AND he is for torture, someone explain that to me" I say: Not true. check this http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/630/ Crayons said: "John Kerry and his PURPLE HEART medal ( which he earned in Vietnam for saving the lives of his fellow soldiers) and now all the sudden want us to embrace John McCain and his military record, which by the way pales in comparison." I said" That does not even deserve response. You can not be serious." Crayon said: The God I celebrate doesn’t care who you love or how many times you say FUCK, only that you love yourself so as to love others and to not forget that we all came from the light. I say: what? what "religion" are you referring to? If you are a true Christian and have ever read the bible you will know what you say is not even close to being true. Maybe you are practicing another "religion'? Think before you type. think before you vote. listen to the issues and figure out what is important to you and your family. Then vote. Encourage thought, not mindless migration...... Crayons: hit the mark and am SOOOOO glad people are seeing through this Palin stunt. And I think it is sweet how her and the “family” allowed her daughter the choice she is pulling so hard to take away from all other women. Whatever happened to seperation of church and state anyway? John McCain is clearly pandering or floundering or reaching…… And let me just say, as the son of a Vietnam Vet and grandson of two WWII Vets that I think it is fucking disgusting how John Bitch Ass McCain begins every answer to a tough interviewer’s question with the phrase..(while blowing himself) “..and let me just first say that I was in a North Vietnamese prison camp for five years……….” Like it is a warrant for him to say whatever he wants and no one can disagree ’cause he was a prisonner of war. AND he is for torture, someone explain that to me. I find it utterly repugnant that the republicans and swift vote four years ago smeared John Kerry and his PURPLE HEART medal ( which he earned in Vietnam for saving the lives of his fellow soldiers) and now all the sudden want us to embrace John McCain and his military record, which by the way pales in comparison. And Another thing, if I have to hear another republican talk about how precious every life is and how special it is then turn around and tell me and the rest of the gay community that we should have less rights because they don’t feel we are as “special” after all. I personally am tired of the hypocracy that pervades the conservative “christians”. They are the first to oppose obortion but the first to advocate the death penalty, someone explain that to me. SIGH. I’m with you Margaret. The God I celebrate doesn’t care who you love or how many times you say FUCK, only that you love yourself so as to love others and to not forget that we all came from the light. And I beleive Barak Obama is the closest thing ( by a long shot) I have seen to “the light” in politics in my life. OBAMA FOR YOUR MAMA ‘08. I Like Crayons are you serious??

I don't know why its okay to endorse someone who is for "change" when he "does not support gay marriage" and even put together a gospel tour that was anti gay or and believed they could "save us" from homosexuality. I see no such thing as "hope" or "change" in someone who would stand beside that and allow it. It could almost write it off it were from his past but from his campaign for the presidency? In fact, I find it far more admirable for people like Palin to at the very least admit she's against gay marriage after barely a month at the VP wheel. I find it completely fuct that it took this long for people to say "Wait, Obama doesn't support gay marriage?" after almost two years into his campaign. A wolf in liberal clothing is far worse. Sorry, Obama but as another famous stand up comedian said you can "suck it". Wait, I’m supposed to vote for Obama by default?

But why? I voted for Nixon because of the medias attack on him because of the "Checkers Dog" incident. There is no doubt it will happen here too. Read your history and you will see that attacks on her family and children will only result in an Obama loss. By the way Obama had time to write several books but no BILLS! Now thats a change you can bank on. LOL Please, please, please, everyone keep bashing Palin. But why? I voted for Nixon because of the medias attack on him because of the “Checkers Dog” incident.

Other pick and choose as if it was a designer religion. Its a matter of degree. Its funny because both sides are just making it up, some just follow the template. to call her a feminist is as laughable as calling evangelicals ‘Christians.’
