MADsMom's Blog

Okay, finally a woman after my own heart, as I know you and have dealt with you a great deal in the past, it is great to see you back. Now on to the subject at hand, when Sarah Palin came on the scene promoting her self-interest motherhood I immediately thought of you when I responded to a post stating that many women on this board could be in her shoes. We thank you for allowing my comments to come to light, as I nominate you for the NEXT VP OF THE GOP as this blog should be your acceptance speech and I am not joking. Many are telling me that this woman is the best the GOP party has, well it this is their best, then I would hate to see their worst. Anyway, can you please tell me why this woman has generated so much based on gender but if a man was to say that it is sexist at best. How can we women not see that this one woman is sitting us back the 88 years it took us to go forward. She is constantly speaking of her family then says her family is off limits, hell, I wish she would make her mind, neither she nor the GOP can have it both ways.

CC: i beg to differ on at least one of your points. the democrats have no more ignored the issues than the republicans have (let me know if i missed the cutesy -demorepos- meaning both parties, i considered that but wasnt sure). the entire last two weeks have been full of fluff for the republicans and their attempts to steer clear of the issues by accusing obama's camp of trying to slam palin when he used a common analogy i.e, lipstick on a pig, and there is no way that they didnt know EXACTLY what he meant. especially since he wasnt even discussing a topic that could be remotely associated with her when he made the analogy.

for that matter, name a couple of SOLUTIONS that the mccain camp has offered that arent the same old shyt that we have been dealing with for the last eight years? im not better off now than i was 8 years ago, are you?

i must admit though, i find the SILENCE from some others deafening. funny how some will not offer a response unless they can find some way to pick it apart with innuendo.

i am also not interested in the soaps, real or imagined. i am voting my purse strings, and the republicans, adding a woman or not, havent shown me where they would change anything for the better. i cannot imagine what a man who has lobbyists as most of his upper campaign staff is going to do to change my circumstances as a consumer, homeowner, bank customer, etc. and adding a female who wants to set other females back a few generations wont do it for me either. especially when said female cant make the things that she wants to legislate fly in her own BLEEP

country should she become the VP. i wasnt enamored of john mccain from the beginning, but i certainly listened to his arguments in order to make a thoughtful decision. he tipped the scales for me when he selected her, and it wasnt in his favor.

the argument that blacks will vote for someone just because he/she is black may be relevant in the context of those who are not at least a little politically savvy, but it certainly is not a true statement for all black people, and as i have said countless times on this blog, we are not all alike, nor are we monolithic. as i recall, alan keyes ran for the presidency as well some years ago, he is black, but you certainly didnt hear a rallying cry from ALL black people to embrace him just because he was black. and that in and of itself shoots that theory right to hell.

DemoRepos is my term for both political parties because in my opinion they are the same---incompetent and incapable of running a food processor let alone a country. Both parties are in bed with "special interests" and "lobbyists", so it always makes me laugh at their promises to "change Washington" because we know their special interests won't let them.

As for the Vice President candidates---I could care less because historically the VPs don't do anything significant in terms of policy making, etc. Biden isn't anything great. In fact, I was disappointed Biden is on the ticket when other more qualified people are available, like Christopher Dodd and Kathleen Sebilius. Palin is like Biden. Romney would have been a better pick.

As I said, I don't care about the soap operas because that only prevents the discussion of the real issues facing our country. Which is a great smokescreen on the part of the DemoRepos. Both sides talk about Palin so they can avoid talking about the more important stuff.

Am I better than I was 8 years ago? I live in Maryland and Governor O'Malley's tax plan has increased by tithes to the state government. Remember the economic stimulus checks Bush sent out? My stimulus money went to paying O'Malley's state taxes. So, I'm neither better nor worse than I was 8 years ago. Therefore, I'm like you---I'm looking at my bank account and trying to figure out who will empty it faster: Obama or McCain.

isnt a president that gives a damn about me, in my opinion.

MADs, any politician---presidential or congressional--who'll take more of my money out of the bank to give it to people who 1. aren't even citizens, 2. who have some made up disability (like an extreme allergy to work), or 3. a bunch of people who took out bad loans when they KNEW they couldn't afford a house 4 or 5 times their yearly salary isn't looking out for you and me.

Obama and McCain voted Yes on a bill that would give Social Security benefits to illegal aliens.

yes, those republican women DO have a penchant for being druggies and then opening clinics to deal with them dont they? (take it lightly as it was given DOG, im not in the mood for fights today and my response was intended as a joke in the context that i thought your comment was given). in the same vein, is sarah going to open a day care, or would that be her daughter? umm...or maybe an alcoholics anonymous chapter with weekly meetings at the white house?

MadsMom:

Ooooooooooooooouch.....did I just hear the Dog Catcher step on the scene. Nice reply.
