It is weird to post this on a board "im black and i have guns and ammo" wth?
That's just plain odd to post on an MT board. Looking for trouble.

Sorry for the double post (nm)
not on my familiar computer.
please ignore double post......server not cooperating

No more weird than
Pretty much the same thinking, especially in Arab countries.  Osama bin Laden was one of 52 children.  Course his father had 5 wives, which is allowed in Islam, but there are much larger families and not uncommon for a woman to have 16 to 20 children. 
Weird but at least they are all there.
Some of those candidate did not even appear on the ballots here in Texas. Standardization is the way to go...starting with campaign finance and working our way up the food chain through voter registration, ballot appearance, ballot method, paper trail, contingencies plans and STRONG, ENFORCED penalties for voter fraud and voter suppression, starting with at least a temporary, if not permanent suspension of voting rights for the offender, fine, jail time and public record disclosure of the offense.
It is a weird situation, for sure...
...but not really getting a good in-depth report on it from the news, have to think there MUST be more to the story - though can't think what in the world could explain such an attitude as prison is not going to help this offender (heard the judge himself say that). Whoever said prison was to HELP anybody? It's PUNISHMENT!

But then again, have never gotten the whole story- you never do on TV news, and have caught O'Reilly in numerous fabrications and exaggerations and grossly slanted panel discussions before, so who the heck knows!
There are just too many weird things
to not stop and wonder. Air traffic controllers who've been told to shut up...hgh level officials at NORAD...the list goes on. Too many unanswered questions, no?
Weird response...to say the least.

Keep voting, but isn't it weird
how people can feel so strongly about two different candidates claiming to want the same thing (to help us all) but are going to tackle it different ways (and each say the other's won't work right.) It's crazy!

I think they should not allow the candidates to say anything at all about the other. They should have to explain all their own policies as throughly as they can and then government should have a neutral panel (would need a panel to somehow make it neutral) to analize each of their plans (and calculate it out the best they can. The panel also could look into their voting records and explain to the public what they have been voting for (the whole of each and not just pieces like we hear about now to make the other sound bad).

It just seems there has to be a better way.
You people are weird

What a weird person this is

Why are you so preoccupied with slutty women?  Who cares!  You have some underlying phobia regarding women and sex.  Weird!   


She was weird, wasn't she?

a weird statement in this article

"Scarborough, no longer obligated to toe the pathetic Republican Party line, says it's totally irrelevant if Joe Wilson is a preening partisan who misled investigators about the role his wife played in recommending his Niger trip. The frantic efforts of the GOP attack machine to change the subject to Wilson shows how scared Republicans are that the master of their universe will be held accountable for Rove's destructive carelessness.


___________


So, Joe Scarborough and this columnist is admitting that Wilson mislead, but it's irrelevant.  So, what's I'm getting out of this is that it does not matter what we know Wilson did but it matters a whole lot about what we don't know for sure Karl Rove did.


That's just not passing the smell test one bit with me.


it is not very presidential appearing and to me is just weird
she allowed herself to be drawn into that, what else would she do - I mean, she is too wishy-washy for my trust, goes in too many different directions, too scattered, haphazard...these are my opinions about her capabilities as a president, not a personal attack.

not to mention, if the black man did this he would have been gone from candidacy a long time ago.
Weird car shopping experience
Late last fall I was making the rounds of used car lots.  Did not see anything I liked and three salesmen made a big show of writing down what I was looking for and taking my phone number.  I was afraid I would be swamped with calls, even if they did not get anything remotely near what I wanted.  However, nobody called - ever. This has severely damaged the image I've always had about car salesmen as pests!   I think things were rough even six months ago, and wondering why they let a hot prospect like me get away.  I did end up getting a car....
What a weird thought process you possess.
Babies don't think or form thoughts. Wow. I always thought that's why God gave them brains. Elderly, when they get dementia or Alzheimer's, really don't form cohesive thoughts either. What's your take on getting rid of all of them? Babies don't realize their mother is killing them but God does. No man/woman has the right to decide who gets to live or die. So, I guess it was God's plan to allow the baby killer to die or he would be killing those unborn babies right now. Now, mind your own business.
Yeah, real weird. The left would say she was crappy if if she was funny...
Not surprising.

By the way, maybe she wasn't funny because SNL gave her a crappy script.


Ever think of it that way? They hate her too, ya know....
I think Larry Craig has the weird butt..he even has a wide stance! nm

double ack.
fire & brimstone yadda yadda.

yawn.
No, actually I don't have a double standard...sm
But there is one, especially since Bush and Co. made such a big deal about flip flopping in '04. I remember the exact words from the debate about Kerry. *Kerry was for it [the war] before he was against it.*

I guess the same applies to Bush on the immigration bill that he was for. Again, just sayin'.
double ditto!
He is so right on this. It is a big mystery why no one is signing up any longer and recruiters are chomping at the bit to get people in right now? The military has never been treated very well (father was in the AF for 24 years and hubby for 20 years). We lived in housing with roofs that leaked, put up with being told when and how to mow our lawns, and did not really get paid all that well until the last 5 years of my husband's career. We are now constantly fighting to preserve the benefits that were promised to us as part of a total retirement package. That is to say nothing of all the people signing up to fight for a war no one supports and doing it because they believe in making America better and safer, so WE can sit here and reap the benefits. Yep, I say the elected officials need to get out of their limos and into the trenches...
Double Standards?

Obama interview:


How does it feel to break a glass ceiling?
How does it feel to “win”?
How does your family feel about your “winning” breaking a glass ceiling?
Who will be your VP?
Should you choose Hillary Clinton as VP?
Will you accept public finance?
What issues is your campaign about?
Will you visit Iraq?
Will you debate McCain at a town hall?
What did you think of your competitor’s [Clinton] speech?



Palin interview:
Do you have enough qualifications for the job you’re seeking? Specifically have you visited foreign countries and met foreign leaders?
Aren’t you conceited to be seeking this high level job?
Questions about foreign policy
-territorial integrity of Georgia
-allowing Georgia and Ukraine to be members of NATO
-NATO treaty
-Iranian nuclear threat
-what to do if Israel attacks Iran
-Al Qaeda motivations
-the Bush Doctrine
-attacking terrorists harbored by Pakistan
Is America fighting a holy war? [misquoted Palin]



There’s no doubt the Charles Gibson interviews showed extreme prejudice against Palin and extreme favoritism towards Obama…He constantly questioned her ability to lead but never questioned Obama’s ability to lead, all the more amazing considering that Palin was the only one with executive experience and the presidency is the highest level executive job in politics.
There's much more at The Anchoress, so head over there to see the full report.


I got double-digits.
su
Again double standards it looks like
Palin was trashed for running for office when she had kids and who will be taking care of the kids, she'll leave them just so she can campaign, blah, blah, blah. But it's okay for Michelle and Obama to leave their kids?

Now that's what I call double standards.
Double standard, indeed.
It all depends on whose ox is being gored.
No double standard
We're not forcing your children to pray or even attend church. Our children are being forced to have homosexual teachers teach them this crap and even have "Days of Silence" to "honor" a perverted practice. Our children can't even mutter the word "God" without getting expelled. Double standard--my asscream.
No double standard here. I am not a

religionist.  I practice no religion.  Christianity is not a religion.  It is a relationship with Jesus Christ.  Put down religion all you want.  I'll agree with you. 


Want to tackle Catholicsm?  Islam?  Hindu?  Buddhism?  Scientology?  Global warming?  Emergent church?  Contemplative spirituality?  Any other of the myriad religions?


 


 


Double standards?...(sm)

Palin is currently paying back her state for misappropriated funds, Sanford is going to have to pay back money for his Argentina trip, and Ensign used pub party money to pay off his mistress et al, and you're worried about a party at the White House? 


I think I would much rather pay for an event that not only collects money for charities but also provides a pick-me-up for those invited (congress and the media) than I would for yet another republican sordid affair.


I am seeing double standards flying
all over the place. yes, it bothers me, including on this board. A lot of this stuff is said so viciously it is amazing. I don't think either candidate has a leg to stand on talking about anybody's housing arrangements. Let's face it, none of them know what kind of lives we are living out here. They all sound like they come from everyday people and can identify with us poor slobs. Nobody anymore is going to set down their axe and get on a wagon to washington. Those days are long gone. Drug crimes are ruining this country, we have so lost any attempt at a grip on this, it is unreal; I know - let's go rip somebody for smoking. They probably aren't armed like a 14 year old might be. I wish both sides would tell the whole truth and not just whatever one liners they choose to take out on exhibit. And I think some of the comments safely said incognito are quite brave in their anonymous attacks, right down to picking on someone's clothing or hair. This is totally unnecessary and really juvenile, like a bunch of high school girls beating up on some poor slob nobody likes. No wonder our kids are doing this, they are learning it from their parents. I guess I am just too old now for all this stuff, all I can think is my daddy would have killed me for picking on someone. Too dog pack for me. I can sense you don't like McCain, well I like him better than Obama because I have yet to hear something more substantial than wanting change. Hitler and Castro said exactly the same thing and the people went for it and got what they wanted. And yes, you think it can't possibly happen again, but it can and does. All of American still harping about slavery, but we don't do anything about the slavery still alive and well in Africa and other places, including USA brought over here by other countries who buy kids to do their housework. Obama says charity begins at home, but not apparently for his half-brother who lives in Nairobi on $12 a year. There seem to be new standards in this country and I just can't agree with all of them. He is a perfect candidate for poster child for pro-life. His mother easily could have aborted him and that child would never have grown up to run for President. I used to think I was pro-choice, but after raising children and now enjoying my grandchildren and looking at the partial abortion diagrams, I have had to rethink this. I know some argue life does not begin until later, but every 6th grader is taught life begins with a cells, whether in a plant or animal or human. If a stranger ran up to a pregnant woman and managed to stab her baby in the back of the head with a pair of scissors, he would be arrested, tried and convicted. It is no wonder so many of our youngsters are confused. We are leaving them a huge mess, and I am not happy with anybody running in this election. I may just vote for Paris Hilton, at least she does not pretend to be anything but what she is.
Okay...let's talk about the double standard...
on both sides of the aisle. Let's talk about Teddy Kennedy. Let's talk about several members of the Kennedy family where influence peddling got them out of more severe cases than you are describing here. He is still in the senate and will be until the day he dies, probably. It is funny to me how people can see the splinter in the other guy's eye but not the timber in their own.

What about the Clinton double standard? What about the Obama double standard of dealing with a slum lord (and knowing it) and at the same time castigating other slum lords in Chicago? That seems pretty hypocritical to me, but I avoided it until the tear up Cindy McCain stuff started. You guys act as if the McCains invented using wealth to get out of legal problems. I refer you again to the Kennedys...

Good grief, people.
I see the double standard is alive and well....
I see.
I was just illustrating the double standard....
which is glaring. Obama's pastor doesn't matter but hers does...and try to justify it by saying Republicans are in the spotlight this week. Good grief....do you hear yourself? lol
Double standards abound
If someone (i.e. a non-Democrat) said this about Hilary, you guys would be all over it like white on rice.  This was just a rude thing to say and he got his digs in.  And to think he is an "eloquent" speaker?  Surely a Harvard-educated man would have a better choice of words than that?  NOT.
It is the party of double standards....
they really should add it to their platform. Be honest. What a concept.
There's that pesky double standard again.....nm

Why don't you ask the double digit lead

Nothing except a double-digit lead.

Double standards? Here's what McCain said
http://www.mercurynews.com/breakingnews/ci_10786968

"The use of campaign funds for items which most Americans would consider to be strictly personal reasons, in my view, erodes public confidence and erodes it significantly," he said on the Senate floor in May 1993.

Her's another:
The 2002 campaign finance law that bears McCain's name specifically barred any funds that "are donated for the purpose of supporting the activities of a federal or state office holder" from being used for personal expenses INCLUDING CLOTHING.


More double standards ...go figure (sm)

*when has government ever solved a problem.*


*They actually believe that is their government's job, to make all their laws and tell them how to live.*


How about remembering that you said this when it comes to abortion and same sex marriage.


 


Talk about double standards!
There were posters on this very forum who wanted their mortgages to be paid so they could buy a big-screen television for their bedroom or put a new deck on their house? Their mouths were watering dreaming about what they could buy if the government would just pay off their mortgages. Some live on farms that most likely receive government subsidies, yet they complain about the threat of Socialism. Double standards abound!
well, in that case, you're about to get a double
nm
Double standards is what they live by
The liberal nazi media also fails to mention that Rush actually said he wanted the socialist plans of Obama's to fail. He said if Obama is going to push a socialist/communist economic plan through why in the world would anyone want that to succeed.

But of course they never tell you that they said they wanted Bush to fail. They act quite the innocent routine - luckily the non-kool-aid drinkers know better.
That's what I talk about double standards
They blame 911 on Bush (and he was only in their for 8 months), not the previous administration.

But anything bad happens during this administration they blame the previous administration.

So their future will be anything bad, it was the previous presidents fault, anything good they'll credit the O.

As for the previous president, anything bad it was his fault but anything good that happened was a result of Clinton.

Talk about twisted minds.
You're right, it is a double standard.
They should ALL have term limits.
Double standards my friend...that is all
it is.  They will crush Depass because he compared Michelle Obama to a gorilla which will have the race card flying high.  Not only was Depass a conservative making a joke about a democrat but he was joking about a black democrat.  In regards to the Letterman vs. Palin saga....Palin is a conservative white woman and therefore Letterman's comments about Palin being a slutty looking flight attendant didn't upset the masses because she is a conservative white woman.  As for the joke about her daughter, regardless of which daughter he claims to have been joking about, it was in poor taste but Letterman will see no punishment for it because he is an outspoken liberal and he was bashing on a white conservative woman.  Same reason why no woman's activists have EVER stood up for Palin even when that one guy hung an effigy of Palin for Halloween.  If that same man had hung an effigy of Barrack Obama for Halloween......there would have been riots and the race card would have been thrown out.  Double standards!  Plain and simple.
JTBB is all about the double standard
In JTBB's world, a conservative has no rights!

The old double standards. Libs hate it. sm
no way PR is on the WH staff, but just keep on talking. You just look more foolish all the time.  Chavez has been accusing the US of trying to off him for a long time.  PR was just echoing that, but who really cares. 
Doesn't the double standard bother you?
It's not her addiction that bothers me it's the stealing and the double standard by her husband. McCain puts other people in jail and rips apart families for drug crimes. I bet there are at least 100 infants in foster care in AZ right now because their mom tested +.

Must be not. Double standard applies. Crickets.

I don't think I understand the double standard here for Palin...

Palin says Obama is "just" a community organizer and unqualified for the job, but we aren't supposed to say anything about her unbelievable lack of knowledge.  She showed that all by herself w/o the help of the campaign.


She tried to tie Obama to terrorists and says he's a socialist, marxist, and I don't even know what all else.  And yet she should not have any scrutiny when she has video out there of her with the witch doctor.


Fox News can take a video of a fist bump between PRESIDENT-ELECT Obama and his wife and call it some kind of terroist signal, and MSNBC is not supposed to point out just how ridiculous this is?


Fox News, yet again strikes and plasters a bottom of the screen banner over video of Michelle Obama calling her a "baby mama," and we aren't supposed to question Palin's fifth child that was soooo questionable.


If you want to be mad at somebody about talking about Sarah Palin, try the republican party.  They are the ones who ruined her.  They are the ones talking about how much her clothes were.  They are the ones talking about the show up at the door in a towel incident. 


I didn't hear any of you complaining when there was a joke about Obama....what's up with that?
