Not just elitist...

He is an elitist because: sm

Comment: So, McCain has 13 cars - a bit excessive, but why should we begrudge his success? The Dems can play the class warfare game all they want - it won't work. A person is elitist, not based on what they own, but on what their view of the "common folk" is - and Barack certainly feels he is above us gun-toting religion "clingers". Anybody who has the "audacity" to write two autobiographies before he has accomplished anything is out of touch...
Ain't nothing elitist about being an MT or a Dem.

What an elitist prig you are. SM
You speak to this to everyone who does not agree with you. I doubt seriously that you are in any Jewish discussion groups. The media say that American Jews are split pretty much 50/50 on what is happening in Israel and you are absolutely WRONG that those in Gaza were all radical Jews (define a radical Jew, please). Your elitism and ignorant remarks continue to amaze hourly. I can't imagine any discussion group that would find your input of any value because you don't discuss, you lecture and brook no refutation or differing viewpoint. I would love to see Alan or Kfir in a debate with you. That would be very interesting.
Obama is an elitist......nm
LOL, looks like the elitist needs some new shoes

Elitist and condescending much?? nm
nm
It's likely she meant ELITIST. nm
What an elitist thing to say. No, these are the people
who have lost their jobs, have had any raises or pay increased put on hold, the people whose companies have changes insurances and the decuctible are ridiculous. These are the people who may have had unexpected medical expenses. These are the people who are living paycheck to paycheck because they have run through the savings to pay for gas to get to work. These are the people who are having to pay for certain things for their kids to go or get to school because the schools can't afford it anymore, i.e. books and the bus. If you think the only people suffering through that are the people who are wasting all of their money smoking and drinking, you are ignorant.
An elitist statement? No, it was/is the truth.
As I stated above, he has his finger on the pulse of PA people and people around the country who are disgruntled at losing their jobs. He is most definitely right about how small-town folk are feeling. Elitism? No, it is called empathy which means he can put himself in other people's shoes. What he said is the truth as I am from PA, and the people will tell you themselves that they ARE bitter, and they DO cling to guns and religion. He was/is not looking down on them, only telling it like it is.
You don't get more elitist than Cindy McCain
Botox, head bobbing facelifted freak. She was the other woman. Just a few years ago Repubs screamed family values and no divorce... now nobody mentions how McCain ditched his poor disabled wife for Cindy.
Well there is a condescending elitist statement....lol.
nm
Not exactly my favorite....lol (sm)
But he does actually look at issues. I think he often takes on the role of the bad guy to try to prove a point, and he's taken out of context often because of that.
Speaking of transparency, they are starting a new website called recovery.org. I've already been there, and there isn't anything on there yet, but the purpose of it is to show where all the money goes once Obama passes the stimulus package. That should be interesting. I already have my calculator ready....lol.
You really believe that you are being shown....... sm
the actual documents he signs? You really believe that the WH is going to tell the American people everything they do, why they do it and when they do it?
I've got some ocean front property in Arizona I'd love to show you.
Is Obama an elitist because he is better educated than McCain?
What do you think makes Obama an elitist?
That's their favorite tactic! sm
All "neocons" are liars. It has to be true because they say so. They don't know what neocon means. It's a catch phrase they hear in the liberal media and they think they are being cool using it.
They were just using one of your favorite words
or do you own the copyright of the word liar?
Perhaps one of my most favorite quotes...from
a plain-spoken man who I admire...Will Rogers.
"I love a dog. He does nothing for political reasons."
Yep, and don't forget...your favorite....
the Terminator....lol...
That was my favorite part
of the dog and pony show...boy wonder being flustered when asked the Biden question. He clearly doesn't like Biden; but was too wimpy to pick Hillary.

He has shown his competency, huh? (sm)
They said on Sunday it was going to be a bad hurricane, etc.
He should be embarrassed!
You were just shown the door
by the weakest link...
Exactly, hasn't shown us one way to pay for any
xx
I had no candidate, but O had NOT shown his
nm
We shall see. Obama has shown us NOTHING yet.
nm
Republicans have a lot of nerve calling Obama an elitist! (nm)
:O
They must be snobby, elitist, liberal drug dealers, huh! (nm)
:p
forgot my own personal favorite
How is this considered effective and balanced political debate?

actually more like a ventriloquist and his buddy. Just not sure which one's hand is up which one's back. "I second that." "Oh I just got goose bumps." lol. Gotta love you two. So entertaining. |
My favorite is SR's "We don't know what plan is"
nm
Forced into that positin by your favorite...
political party, the DEMOCRATS. McCain told them this was coming in 2005. Sponsored legislation to look closer at Fannie/Freddie. The Democrats (big money buddies with Freddie/Fannie) blocked it. And here we are...Freddie/Fannie started the freefall. And let's not forget Barney Frank...another Democrat...pushing Fannie/Freddie to make those subprime loans to minorities and low income folks who did not have a hope in heck of paying it back. Most with no credit or bad credit. And THOSE are the people we are bailing out. Wonder how many of THEM are Democrats??
Yes, it is form of socialism, but at least we do not have SOCIALISTS in charge of it. If we elect Obama, we WILL have a hard core socialist in control.
Be careful what you ask for.
There you go...hit on another favorite. Pinto beans...
fried potatoes and cornbread. Yum. Growing up that was a staple for us. And boy did I (and still do) love it!!
My other favorite Ripley line
When she is told of the significant dollar value of the company factory she wants to destroy, she says, 'Well they can BILL me.' And somehow, that's a pretty pithy saying for the times, too.
By the way, I think fava beans taste nasty. Can't imagine what you see in them.
FOX news is my favorite. And, I am not jealous of
nm
Why the spelling police have shown up! sm
I make typos all the time and so does everyone else.
Those were facts. Obama has already shown he

If the big O had shown his BC a long time ago, this

I would say he has shown it to the people that he needed to -- nm

The only thing Coulter has shown me...(sm)
is just how stupid some people can be.
Coulter quotes:
"I have to say I'm all for public flogging. One type of criminal that a public humiliation might work particularly well with are the juvenile delinquents, a lot of whom consider it a badge of honor to be sent to juvenile detention. And it might not be such a cool thing in the 'hood to be flogged publicly."---MSNBC 3/22/97
"God gave us the earth. We have dominion over the plants, the animals, the trees. God said, 'Earth is yours. Take it. Rape it. It's yours.'"---Hannity & Colmes, 6/20/01
"I think [women] should be armed but should not [be allowed to] vote."---Politically Incorrect, 2/26/01

my favorite place to stay current
on the issues in politics is Media Matters America. As the name explains, they monitor all forms of media and report on the distortions and misinformation. They give factual rebuttals. They make it a lot easier to sort fact from fiction.
The favorite tactic of the left....you have nothing substantial...
attack and belittle. Don't even realize how it reflects on them...or don't care.
Yea but he didn't have to pre-empt my favorite programs
Judge Joe and Judge Alex. They were gonna be pretty good today. Guess I'll have to wait for re-runs. LOL
garlic and parmesan cheese is my favorite....sm
I wish I really had some....lol
Thank you for the elitist, condescending, loyal-to-the-party post...but the juvenile playground name
should be left on the playground.
Bottom line...Joe Biden is a liar. Whether he lied about being John McCain's friend or he lied when he attacked him...he lied. He is a liar. Look it up in your Funk and Wagnall's. If being devoid of character is what floats your boat, great. If loyalty to the party means checking your integrity at the door, so be it. If people want to associate with people of that "ilk" (your word, not mine), so be it. You might try looking up honesty and integrity while you are at it.
You criticize Bush for saying you are with us or you are against us, but isn't that exactly what you are saying here? If you aren't willing to do whatever it takes to put forward the party, then we don't want you...you're against us. Hey kettle..you are as black as the pot.
Your two posts are much more acidic than mine ever thought about being. Exactly what principles are you loyal to? I always thought honesty and integrity were principles. Hmmm. Well I guess not part of your party principles.
No, au contraire, I am sure you are a proud democrat. I am sure liberals are proud to be liberals. That is not in question. Whatever the cost, no matter what lies have to be told, what friends cast under the bus...
And in case you had not noticed, there are a lot of Americans out here who are not tied to the "party" like you are. This is probably the same kind of talk that was abounding in the National Social German worker's party. Look THAT up in your Funk and wagnall's while you are at it.
And before your head spins around and you spit fire...I don't think for a minute, thank GOD, that all Democrats share your hard line loyalty to the party at all costs.
Lady, you're scary.
Obama has never shown his official certificate.
nm
Yeah, O has NOT shown his vault copy and is
nm
You've shown me hope...that the next four years will be over in, like, oh.....
Yes, a start, but economic studies have shown that these will be....sm
long-term down the road, and we are sinking way too fast. I do agree with the grener approach, I am a "tree hugger" from way back, participated in some of the "no Nuke" protest, and am an active member of Save The Bay, as our state is right on the bay, almost an island, and this has been for the past two decades. I guess I am eager for O to stop catering to politics, even though I know it comes with the job, roll up the sleeves, and really get to the meat and bones of the stimulus package, this country is HUNGRY! Did you catch Lisa Ling's National Geographic docomentary on the new homeless shown on Oprah? That truly made me cry, because a decade ago my family was close to being one of them, I cry for the children, "bleeding heart Democrat" that I am at heart!
For fun and relaxation...don't watch a lot of TV...do do some work in the yard, but my favorite r
with my horses and my Corgis. That is something the whole family enjoys. No deep thinking, just pure enjoyment.
Totally off the subject also...I get creeped out seeing Bill and Hillary and Chelsea together...they look more like business partners than family. Very weird dynamic going on there. At least Fred married the younger woman and they have two beautiful kids together, and actually look like they care about each other. Hard to find fault with that, at least for me.
And totally off the subject again...John Kerry creeped me out from day one, even before the botox. Yikes. lol. And Richard Nixon...even pictures of him creep me out.
Enough of this...Corgis need attention.
God bless, and have a good evening!
I believe the youngest was named after her favorite band...Van Halen....nm
