Sarah memorized a public toilet stall worth of innuendo and nothing more.
Karl Rove must've had her ear.

Funny I listen to Rush every day and don't have a clue what your talking about.

That seems to be a common symptom of Limbaugh listeners.

You'd better better off listening to Rush the band every day. Much less brainwashing.

I'm so sick of her saying we're mavericks.

She just said it again.

We don't need any more mavericks in the White House. We're trying to get rid of one right now!

Biden spouting class warfare....a Dem tradition.

Amazing, how its only "class warfare" when the richest percentile is asked to pay a fair share.

Last I checked the top 1% are paying well over 30%. How much is a fair share to you? Taking all of it then propping them up with a stick to go out and earn more for you?

You think the top 1% earned it huh?

You know they didn't and deem yourself able to determine what they do and don't deserve? Your last name isn't Marx is it?

I didn't say anything like that. There's a difference between earning a living and taking one through corrupt business practices that this country is rife with.

There is something so satisfying to me about how much this woman gets under liberals' skin.

Thanks, Webster.

Yeah, but for all the wrong reasons. It would be different if she was getting under their skin with her intellect and reason, but I think it's the opposite.

It's not a liberal issue.
It's a "thinking American" issue.
George Will is no liberal.

[Jana]

Best statement of the whole night, about Cheney by Biden.

[Saint John]

There is something so satisfying to me about how much this woman gets under liberals' skin.

The reason is simple. The female tuna tasters of the opposite party know that they don't have a shot at licking her envelope.

[Ehwmatt]

Neither is coming off as all that impressive to me, to be honest. Staunch conservative here. But these are very weak compared to the Cheney/Edwards clashes last time around

Who even says "maverick"?

[Lula]

They were paid a salary by a private business for whatever they do.
I suggest you first take a look at our public officials in Congress who've been stuffing their pockets with Freddie/Fannie money that we'll probably have to pick up the tab on after being elected to serve us.

My guitar amplifier is called a Maverick. A good one at that

Creative. Nice.

Edwards got steamrolled.
Was much more concerned with appearing unflappable for a future 2008 run then he was serving as Kerry's attack dog.
When Cheney said he never met him before, Edwards didn't even have the balls to correct him.
At least there's some tit-for-tat here.

[treetopovskaya]

that is the first time i ever heard anyone say bosniacs. }:C)

her voice has grown terribly annoying. her lack of knowledge on many topics/issues is bothersome. it has become sad to see her so out of her league.

Kinda similar to those who like to talk about how they're going to bring change to Washington when they vote party line 95+% of the time.

[Jana]

TNC came up with a good bumper sticker: Real mavericks don't advertise. T-shirts. Hey, I see a money-maker here.

Yeah I don't know. At least it was entertaining. I'm just hearing a lot of the "soundbites" from both candidates right now.

should've been taking a swig every time she used it. geez now joe is doing it too!!
