Of course, and that is not limited to one party.

no.... but ultimately it is that perception that is supposed to be the final determining factor of who is elected not just because they say what you want to hear or because they are your party..as is my impression of what Obama is doing right now..

Better a Kraut who locks their retarded kids an offspring in a basement for 25 years...

Yes indeed. Much better a fucking closet pedophile than a nationally vetted candidate.

Are you an idiot or are you PH's kin?

Na, na, na losing your temper there Texy.
That guy was an Austrian not german. Commenting or making fun of this terrible tragedy shows me that you must come from a sub-low-culture.

McCain lost FIVE US Aircrafts

Not Amused ! How does he talk about his nationally vetted fellow americans? He's a Vice President...let's not forget.


***UPDATE*** Akers reports that Cheney has now apologized for his West Virginia incest joke:

Vice President Dick Cheney has apologized through his spokeswoman for making an offhand joke during a speech at the National Press Club Monday stereotyping West Virginia as a state prone to incest.
Cheney spokeswoman Lea Anne McBride tells us, "The Vice President's offhand comment was not meant to hurt anyone. On reflection, he concluded that it was an inappropriate attempt at humor that he should not have made. The Vice President apologizes to the people of West Virginia for the inappropriate remark."

Mary Ann Akers of the Washington Post asks if West Virginia was just handed to the Democrats when Dick Cheney made an incest joke at West Virginians' expense:

Cheney was at the Press Club to congratulate this year's winners of the Gerald R. Ford Journalism Prize for Distinguished Reporting on the Presidency. During a question-and-answer session toward the end of the luncheon, someone asked the vice president about his wife Lynne Cheney's revelation on MSNBC last year that "Dick and Barack Obama are eighth cousins."
The questioner jokingly asked the vice president if he and Obama were going to have a family reunion, to which Cheney replied he would "have no objections" though he said he doubted Obama would want one - "certainly not before November."
Then came the offensive punch line. Cheney explained that during the course of researching his family lineage for Lynne's memoir "Blue Skies, No Fences" last year, he learned there were Cheneys on both his father's and his mother's side of the family. There was a Richard Cheney on his mother's side, the vice president said.
"So I had Cheneys on both sides of the family and we don't even live in West Virginia," Cheney quipped.

Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia was not amused:

"That a man who has ascended to the seat of Vice President of the United States would openly display such contempt and astounding ignorance toward his own countrymen is an insult to all Americans. Now that he or the Administration he represents no longer needs their vote, Mr. Cheney apparently feels that he is now free to mock and belittle the people of West Virginia. With his trademark arrogance, the Vice President even added 'You can say those things when you're not running for re-election.'"
"This pitiful comment is not entirely surprising when you consider the source. Vice President Cheney's words reflect the attitude of an administration and a party that says what they must to get elected and then turns their backs on those they promised to represent."

^Shocking.

Can't help it, eh Texpat? Making completely inadequate remarks, confused about countries (Oh Austria is NOT Australia, just to help you along), insults etc . . .

Cujo and Texpat . . . what a lovely couple, or can you actually debate something sensibly? Now that's a joke.

('kin' is a yokel word, mate . . . is that why you are so smitten by Palin?)

Well then good sir, take your vote and cast it for a chicken that might crap on square Number 12.

We'll all applaud your decision and kindly tell you to fuck off when the US presidential election comes around.

Because despite how much you yap about it, Your opinion means __ ZILCH! SQUAT! NAUGHT!

Beyond that, you're German opinion factors is about .00000007 in American decisionmaking.

Thanks for your input. Hope you didn't waste a heavy breath on it.

^ Now, now, Tex. The krauts were smart enough to vote in Merkel coz she speaks Russian. Do they know something we don't? Mebbe McC better keep Condi on staff.

Now there would have been a choice worthy of making as VP. Surely few can discredit her credential?

Any feelings why she was not considered/not picked? Too close to Bush maybe?

i'll admit the obvious, that's not her role.. but it would be Obama's so your right that is major concern to consider on his part....

Uh... so you'll admit that she's not up to the job, but counter that by attacking Obama.

This is about Palin.

Obama is the other half dozen threads.

Bottom line, as a non US citizen and pretty average guy on the street, I'd say choosing Palin as VP has pretty much given the election to the Democrats.

But then the US voters aren't exactly known for well considered judgement.

This spite of the "obvious":

I'm confused now what's the "obvious" part?

To me; given her credentials of doing battle with big oil, AK corrupt politicians and having an overall attractive likability, McCain's choice here was a stroke of pure brilliance. Now that's obvious.

Face it moonbats, this lady has depth you can only dream about for thin skinned Barry.

^ I beg to differ, Mr Earl. BO has really thick skin. Must be from all those Rev Wright sermons.

^ She doesn't want to be a politician. Same same Powell. Too classy.

^^Rice is also too smart. She'll likely go back to Stanford as a professor. Which is what Obama will do after he gets his ass handed to him in November and can't get re-elected as a senator.

^ Yep. Way too smart. I heard that before that she wants to return to academia. Hopefully whoever gets in will still use her for counsel.

^Rice makes an outstanding US secretary of state. McCain should keep her on for a while, imho.

How was she outstanding? Serious question. She has a lot of critics.

so? whats the problem? actually that's quite plausible ray. ever heard of a common condition that affects people from the north who don't get enough sunlight, it's known as "cabin fever" and does create depression in many people and is a leading cause of suicide, doesn't make her a bad person, nor is it anything to be ashamed of, she is treating it..

a dose of ultraviolet from such a bed would be a very valid way of treating it, it just goes to show that she is human, don't see any problem with that in spite of you trying to make it one..

at least she's getting treatment unlike some here who could use a good dose of lithium and refuse to seek help..

R-E-A-C-H-I-N-G...........
